Customer Reviews:
flight of the phoenix - grounded!.......2006-11-28
I first got Phoenix on 8-track. Good thing , cause I really got some distance on it when I flung it out the car window. I think Funk started to believe the critics. Anyways it was better then "Survival".
still rocks after all these years.......2006-07-28
Having been born in Flint, I naturally am prejudice toward Grand Funk. I remember when the live album came out and would have to say this is the best album they ever put out. The remix of "Flight" is outstanding.
Phoenix.......2006-05-13
Very good, authentic rock music by Grand Funk, good as Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple, with sensitive, simple ballads. Enjoyable.
Rising From The Ashes, Indeed!.......2005-12-16
Back in the day, record reviewers loved to hate Grand Funk Railroad. But that didn't stop people from buying their records and selling out their shows. Some of the reviewer criticisms may have been somewhat valid - Grand Funk songs tend to be somewhat simplistic, etc. But kids in the late 60s and early 70s weren't always searching for complexity in their music. I liked "Phoenix" because it had a pretty consistent groove and enough diversity to make it flow well. All these years later, I still find time to give it the occasional spin. "She Got to Move Me", "I Just Gotta Know" and "Gotta Find Me a Better Day" still sound great!
Ashes to Ashes.......2005-03-24
"Phoenix":
This is the first record Grand Funk made after one their core members was ousted--Terry Knight. It's a good record, at best. However, compared to the albums released before "Phoenix," it's a real yawner. The twinkie clavinet on some of the songs is hideously reminiscent of the Partridge Family's sound! It's the anti-GFR, I tell ya! Another negative is that the "Phoenix" era of GFR is sort of a precursor to "Christian Rock"--LAME! It's an all-too typical story in rock-n-roll land; the rich rock musician does things on tour that'd make the Marquis de Sade blush, feels guilty about it, and then hands out advice on how everybody else needs to find Jesus. GAG! The liner notes of this record states, "Although not a million-seller, "Phoenix" was nonetheless another Top Ten album for the band, and proved they could do it on their own." Well, I'm not sure just what they mean by that "IT," but for me "it" has to do with losing their great sound by kicking out one of Grand Funk Railroad's founding members, and replacing him with a large sack of Sweet'N Low.
About the "Grand Funk Remasters":
First of all, what took so freakin' long to release these records in this format? Why do we have to listen to crappy sounding CDs in this day and age? As Nathan (William Snape) says in "The Full Monty" during one his dad's (Robert Carlyle) clumsy dance rehearsals--"that were crap!" Even the Beatles catalog is taking forever to get released on quality CDs! ("The Capital Albums Vol. 1") Oh well, better late than never, I guess! I just have one last thing to say to the record companies, et al involved concerning this faux pas; guess which finger I'm holding up!
There's a world of difference between the sound of these CDs and the sterile sounding earlier digital releases of the same material; that fact alone justifies buying the remasters. However, the bonus music on these CDs makes them a must-buy for anyone who likes Grand Funk.

Don't but it, please.......2005-08-29
Just don't buy it. Listen to the songs---it's like elevator music. This isn't classic Grand Funk
Phoenix Rlues.......2002-02-05
The Mighty Phoenix rises from the ashes and this was GFR rising from the ashes of a long lawsuit with there former manger Terry Knight. Mark, Don and Mel Got the Name Grand Funk Railroad and Terry Knight go everything else. Phoenix was GFRs only self produced effort and I think its great, It was a departure from the early power trio days and hey added Craig Frost (Keyboard) to the band to round out the sound. The album had one hit Rock N roll Soul that is a fine song and GFR plays it to this day. But the album has many songs that are forgotten and should not be. Someone, Rain Keeps Fallin, Freedom Is For Children, She Got to Move Me, Trying To Get Away, I Just Got To Know, and Gotta Find Me A Better Day all are great songs. So You Won't Have To Die, A Little Goofy On The Lyrics but not a bad song, Flight Of The Phoenix an Instrumental that just rocks. This album sold a million copies but that was smaller sales then GFRs pervious albums, it was a transitional period of GFR and it is a must have CD for all GFR fans. Next came We're An American Band and Shinin On so the transition worked and GFR was back on top of the rock n roll world.
One of GrandFunkRailroads Best Releases !.......2002-01-13
Any true GrandFunk fan,Will find Phoenix a must have for thier collection.This recording shows just how versatile they can be without compromising Thier commitment to good old... Rock & Roll.That is why I say there is no doubt that this is one of GrandFunks best ever.The sound quality of this CD is excellent no one will be disapointed.
Phoenix is a scorcher.......2002-01-10
When I was 15 back in 1974, I was cruising down an Oregon freeway with a co-worker when he slammed PHOENIX into his 8-track player. Prior to that, the only Grand Funk I had really heard was "Closer to Home", and while that recieved some feedback, this recording blew it's socks off my opinion. When I heard the crafty keyboards on "Flight to Phoenix", it literally electrified every musical nerve in my body...what a killer piece...the rest of the album is equally as captivating, all the way to the "Rock and Roll Soul"..I have since bought the record LP (it was stolen, go figure) and have not heard it except in my mind jukebox for over 20 years..have tried getting it on CD, but the going has been tough..I will be persistent in getting my hands on it again...and when I do, I may have my pit bull guard it by night...This is GFR at it's finest, before they went ultra commercial...one of my favorite rock recordings alltime..capturing my ear via a measly 8-track.
