Presented by Cesar Altamirano President and Executive Producer of Altar Entertainment This confidential financial investment proposal is designed for the purpose of establishing a Mark Farner 40th Anniversary World Tour and Rockumentary 2009-2010 (USA, Canada, Latin America, Europe and Japan). Founded in 1969, Grand Funk Railroad quickly became the most representative American rock band in history under the guidance of founder, lead singer, guitarist and composer Mark Farner.

  3. Just prior to the success of Woodstock, other music festivals had started to appear across the country the summer and fall of 1969. After hearing Grand Funk Railroad, Terry Knight became their manager and started drumming up gigs for the band, most of which they performed for free. Knight persuaded the promoters of the Atlanta International Pop Festival to let Grand Funk play and they were given the opening slot at the gathering. The only unsigned act on the show, Grand Funk Railroad played before 180,000 people in 110-degree heat and the acclaim was instantaneous. Following their Atlanta appearance, the band was signed by Capitol Records.

  4. August, 1969 Grand Funk Rocks The World Over the next seven years, Grand Funk Railroad would tour the world. The band's concerts would set attendance records while at the same time, music critics would rip apart their recordings. Rolling Stone Magazine once called them the world's worst rock band, all the time that the working class rock fan embraced them as "The American Band".
