"I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)" is a 1970 song written by American musician Mark Farner and recorded by Grand Funk Railroad as the closing track to their album Closer to Home.
The song conveys the pleas of a captain on a troubled sea voyage and facing a mutiny from his crew. Its use of an orchestra during the long repeated refrains of the closing movement served to differentiate it from much of Grand Funk's work.

I was there! Right over home plate, two rows from the top, in the ‘ nosebleed’ section.
Great picture.
My favorite from them was "Bad Time" - a power pop classic.
Blew Led Zeppelin off the stage.
They were Gods in Michigan.
Uhh, no Mark Farner, it ain’t GFR.
