Grand Funk Railroad and Bloodrock are my two favourite 70's hard rock bands. Terry Knight (Grand Funk's manager) saw Bloodrock play in their home state of Texas and saw that they drew the same kind of audiences as GFR, so he was signed as their manager and they toured with Grand Funk in the early 70's. I saw them play a fantastic live concert in Toronto, Canada in 1971.
  I had the honour of co-hosting the original Bloodrock Website for two years with my good buddy Carl Bratcher of Australia. We had the pleasure of chatting with some original band members and some great Bloodrock fans. This page is dedicated to Carl, Bloodrock members (Hi ED!!!), all of their fans, Lovely Rita and my favourite gal Butchie. I hope you enjoy my collection!!

Anyone who attended the Bloodrock Convention on May 30th 1999 and wants a souvenir admission ticket, please email me here. The original tickets that I sent to the Sand Bar in Deep Ellum were lost by them and no tickets were given out at that time. I have some print overrun tickets from the original set for those who attended this event and would like one. (or two)
