Wow in Nam. That must have been terrible. I just read that in America this band was called dumb. I always thought this was, together with CCR a typical Nam-band. I don't get it.
I'm 65 years old. My first concert was Grand Funk Railroad. I was just senior in high school. One of the best three-man bands ever. Still listening to them today like they said this song was recorded loud so play it Loud. Keep on rocking
Watch and observe, children. They PLAY their instruments and sing with competence. They know their instruments and have spent a lot of time practicing and learning their skill. No Autotune. No computerization doing it for them. This is something called talent. Talent was a skill from decades ago before Autotune, before computerization, before the record industry picked young people to become stars based on visual appeal and how far a person would go with publicity stunts to create shock value. These talented musicians of the past had creativity, commitment, flair, skill, and put in a lot of time writing and polishing their songs. Many of them read what is called sheet music. Sheet music is a kind of language for music using what is called notes. Sheet music and notes kind of equate to learning how to write language and use what is called grammar. Grammar are the rules and guidelines of language. Music has a grammar to it, as well. In both writing language and music, creativity may be used to create magnificent songs, such as the one on this video. However, you will have to learn what is called discipline. Discipline requires something called work. Discipline and work will give you the means to learn how to actually sing and play instruments on your own without computerized assistance. Once you become good with singing and playing instruments, something called your self-esteem will improve. You will develop a sense of what is called accomplishment, like these young lads in the video.
These guys should be in the R&R Hall of fame !incredibly underrated American rock and roll band shame on you unforgiveable act God bless you Mark and the boys thank you for all the great memories YOU ARE IN MY R&R Hall of fame thats all that counts stay safe
Seen them twice in concert live in Charlotte N.C. they were the best, thru the 60s had 8-tracks of them. Want see them in the R&R Hall of fame because R&R hall of fame is all politics, liberals, not like the liberals of the 60s but nowadys!!
Do you know the eventual story behind the breakup of GFRR? It is one of the most disgusting betrayals in the history of RnR. Mark Farner IS GFRR - the other 2 could've easily been replaced (and should have!!!!!) . Farner is the real talent behind their success and always will be.
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has its head up its ass half the time, not inducting bands that should have been inducted decades ago, and inducting bands that aren't even rock and roll, lately. Bullshit
@@larryritch9912 don’t blame the the libs. I’ve been trying to get Styx in the hall. 4 triple platinum records in a row. WTF. Mark Don and Mel should b in the hall
You can say that again Music today is joke for the most part exception would be Keonid and friends They play Chicago Earth Wind and fire Stevie Wonder Tower of Power and more
Thats because it's been done already. Imagine if music had been the same for the past 50 years. That would be a bit lame and boring. There is great music made today it just sometimes is not promoted as much as what is popular at the moment.
I thank God I grew in the error of great music .The 60s and 70s was the greatest time of my life , I wish I could turn back the hands of time .God bless you Grand Funk for your music that still brings me tremendous listening pleasure . God bless you guys .
You are so f*cking right. I just turned 65 today and have been jamming to GFR for 50+ years already and always hoped for a reunion tour but I know that'll never happen before my time is up. But I still have all the vinyl. 😅
I am 64 white male and I own every music they put out and I saved my money and traveled to go see them everywhere I could.. I still listen to their music today...
Me too, I discovered them at 13, with the " On time " album. it was 1975 and me and my 12 year old brother ate it up. and then I ran out and got the red album and I was a lifelong fan. seen them a couple times and seen their own bands a few times. I think Marks band is better than don and Mels band. I met Mark after a show and got a picture with him. Although my favorite album is " American band " , written , Composed and sung and played by Don Brewer. Dons as good as Mark. He does half the songs and albums. I love " Born to die " a mish-mash of groove, soul and metal , Brillant.
I hired in General Motors in 1976 in Flint Mich. This local band and this song in particular was ours we felt,as we toiled the assembly line at 60 cars per hour. Thank you Grand Funk. You should be in the RR Hall of Fame!!!
+Dellani Oakes They did not sell there soul for fame, look at all the so called musicians today and try and find one that does not put one hand over there eye in some photo, or give a hand sign like a triangle or the thumb and index finger joined with three up=666. God Bless you Dellani, look up Vrillex on u-tube you will see what I mean.
+Dellani Oakes Grand Funk was hated by critics in their early days. Their music sounds like they were recorded live in a garage... but it still sounds timeless now.
Not WAS talented, still is. He's 72 now I saw him when he was SIXTY SEVEN at the Flying Monkey in Plymouth, NH. He was phenomenal!!! He can still kick the snot out of younger bands like Muse, Puddle of Mud, 311, just about any of these wimpy, oh soooo put upon bands. One ray of hope in this world, I've been watching some hip hop and rap artists' reaction to this video. NOT ONE OF THEM dislikes it. They are allllll groovin' it. So maybe their next Gen will be hip to some great music.
Grand funk music used to make me crazy from morning to evening non stop that was in the 70s.Today i am still feeling same listening to the same music 50yrs down the line.
Ho yeahhhhh ... in France too ... you are a perfect mind about that ..... the perfect trio with ZZ Top for all time .... god bless you .... Eric from France ( Normandy )
~ my 1st Rock-N-Roll show ,,, 74-75 sumwears bout then☆☆ INDY~Noplace IN. they had STACKS,, speakers on each side of stage \ you could & feel the power Just being on ☆☆ win Mark-Don- Mel walked on ~WOW~ ¤》 IT WAS ON 》 Think i was 14 at that time!!!!
I will tell you all this. I bought them red album that has this song on it, "Inside Looking Out," I saw them twice in concert, 1971 & 1972. Then a few decades later I heard Mark Farner had become a born again Christian and was coming to town with a new band so me, my wife and a couple friends went and saw him at a club, I was about 10' away Mark sounded as good as ever, I yelled out inside looking out and he played it, goosebumps ran up and down my arms and the hairs stood up on my arms and neck. I believe he's still touring.
@@mckessa17 it’s harder to find for sure but if you look there are some you awesome rock bands killing it right now still in their early 20s. “Joyous wolf” “dirty honey”
Grand Funk Railroad they were our party music. We have no music in these days... Sad but true. I remember going to a concert, it was called festival seating where you sat on the floor and paid 5 bucks a ticket!!!! A lot of Great music back then in the late 60's to the 70's. I sure miss those days... Now look where we are 😷 every day!!!! Our world is falling apart... Sad again.
I am Mexican American, I remember the Grand Funk Railroad when I was 9 years old right now I am 65 years old and I still listen Grand Funk Railroad music I love these guys ,👍👍👍🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
I first really got this song into my bones In the electronics shop, "Movie projection equipment repair", I put and audio system together with Tax Payer dollars that mellowed our days at War with 18 inch theater sound audio tech... LOL. Rolllllllllll another one, just like the other one . Don't bogart that joint my friend... Pass it over to me I ran that shop after doing 6 Navy tech schools. We all live in a Yellow submarine, and admiral Halsey " had to have a bath or He couldn't get to sleep. Our shop was 3 mellow young Dudes bound for peace or something better like rock, and roll. Class of 69 , Navy graduation and Woodstock. The Summer of Love, Peace and Rock, really did happen that way at Max Yawgers Farm in those times. I was in a Hurricane at sea.... ROCKIN Hard.
Being a Child of the 60's brought me here. Whenever I've had it with todays so-called crappy Music ( And that's a lot ) I come here to listen to real Music done by Talented Musicians and it ears love it too.
My all time favorite band. I'm nearly 60 and I've been listening to their music since I was about 8 years old. My brother gave me an 8 track tape of their music and I was hooked. Best 3 piece band ever.
The most incredibly underrated American rock and roll band to ever walk the earth. I'm 46 and grew up listening to GFR on my dad's vinyl collection. I pity the millennial generation.
yea I here ya dude. I was raised on classic rock as well. im 43 and our day was just as bad as today's music......we had to put up with vanilla ice and the new kids on the block lol
Grand Funk was a KILLER KILLER band! OMG people this was freakin LIVE! GFR is so severely underrated and I never could understand why. Nobody today could lay a finger on these Michigan boys!
Grew up on this music with 4 brothers in the house playing our own stuff and the 8 tracks and records going all the time. 60 miles north of Flint, GFR nation!
Quien como ellos ahora en un mundo de tecnología digital? Cables y cuerdas!!cueros y platillos!!! Cabello largo y aire en los pulmones!! Eso es música que retumba en el universo!!!❤
SOY VALENTIN LARA DE TOLUCA MÉXICO, CUANDO ME PRESTARON ESTE DISCO TENÍA 13 AÑOS, QUEDE IMPRESIONADO CON LA BRUTALIDAD DE ESTE TRIO, LARGA VIDA AL GRAND FUNK
Mark with that Messenger! I saw them 2 years later - my first rock concert. Mel will forever be my favorite bass play and Don is equally amazing. What a band!
I never even heard this song back in the day. I discovered it right here on You Tube, It's one of my all time favorites. Mark Farner was so damn talented!!!!
First time I heard it I got HOOKED. I couldn't get this outta my head. They also have this other masterpiece 'Dues' so be sure to check it out if you haven't and trust me, it's EVERYTHING
Screw critical attention. We the fans matter. We define them. Nothing comes close to GFR, no one can decide that for me or in general because it's DENYING THE OBVIOUS
I copied Mels bass lines and my other 2 brothers copied Marks guitar and Dons drumming. We were a big hit locally and pulled in quite the crowds. Always got requests for this song. Played the first live album front to back. That was the best times of my young life back then.
Angel your right grand funk and Uriah heep and golden earring three of the greatest bands are getting screwed by the rocking roll Hall of fame it's not right.
Here's my Humble opinion. ...this bad was Solid..especially in early 70's with all of the great iconic music around them...that being said WHY THE HELL ARE THERE 500 some what dislikes. ....????Obviously you came to this band via search...so the hell with all of you that have em thumbs down!!!!!
"Grand Funk Live", together with "Deep Purple in Rock", were my favourite records when i was 13 years old. Those records changed my life from german and british POP listener, to a heavy rock listener and musician.
Confirms that less is more and that bands can create amazing music free of special effects - and a lot backup. This gem proves it. Reminds me of the early Deep Purple and Led Zepplin sessions.
Definitely Purple. I could hear it as soon as you pointed it out. Kind of like an American version of the Ian Gillian (sp?) lineup. So much ballsy music has come out of Detroit over the decades. My first concert ever was GFR (the trio version) opening for ZZ Top when I was 13. It was ZZ Top's El Loco tour. It quite literally changed my life for the better.
G Nelson It may be that they benefited from a lack of techno support bands enjoy today. They were stripped down and relied on their energy and creativity, not staging.
I was only 9 when they recorded this. Seems surreal that was 50 years ago. My older brothers bought all their albums and my dad hated them. Those were the days.
it only takes 3 top musicians for a hit that is still cracy after 50 years .i am 65 jears old!!!!!!!
Im 72 still listenting and puffin
Hands down the most underrated band from their generation. And beyond!!
Who cares about rock hall of fame?
What makes you believe they're underrated? Did you travel the globe taking a survey from every citizen of the world? Please explain.

I saw these guys back in 1971 in Lake Charles LA it was an awesome show. I will never forget it.

Most memorable band ever.....brings back fond memories of my youth...
Yeah I had grand funk we're an American band on yellow vinyl in the 70s when I was a teenager
Saw them live twice in Pittsburgh. They’re one of the best American bands that ever were.
The red record, I listened to it over and over. This was no bubblegum pop! An American band: the highest honor I could give them🇺🇸

yea I here ya dude. I was raised on classic rock as well. im 43 and our day was just as bad as today's music......we had to put up with vanilla ice and the new kids on the block lol

lolololol ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
that's what I was exactly thinking underrated unappreciated The Genius of inside looking out and you're my Captain is amazing
At 62 i still loved this song...
Grand Funk was a KILLER KILLER band! OMG people this was freakin LIVE!
GFR is so severely underrated and I never could understand why. Nobody today could lay a finger on these Michigan boys!
usernametaken 56 dosent get any better than this!
Grew up on this music with 4 brothers in the house playing our own stuff and the 8 tracks and records going all the time. 60 miles north of Flint, GFR nation!
🗣️I was born in 1968 and once I heard their jamming 🎶 down the road, I was hooked 🪝 👈🏼
One of the best early bands ever....hands....feet....arms ....legs...down....!!!!!!!!
garage rock at its very best...mark farner...don brewer
Grand Funk, one of the best rock and roll bands to ever exist. Just plain clean rock and roll.
9 minutes of awesome jamming. Big sound and spot on. Rock and roll attack!
Quien como ellos ahora en un mundo de tecnología digital? Cables y cuerdas!!cueros y platillos!!! Cabello largo y aire en los pulmones!! Eso es música que retumba en el universo!!!❤
De acuerdo brother pura actividad 😅
Por seguro!
UNDERRATED! OVERLOOKED. Awesome talent. No other three piece like them.
This is real music....energy, mesmerizing, delirious!!
Your comment is amazingly concise. Three words that capture the essence of Grand Funk. THANK YOU!
Thank you Mark Curtis!!
SOY VALENTIN LARA DE TOLUCA MÉXICO, CUANDO ME PRESTARON ESTE DISCO TENÍA 13 AÑOS, QUEDE IMPRESIONADO CON LA BRUTALIDAD DE ESTE TRIO, LARGA VIDA AL GRAND FUNK
I first so them live in I believe in(1973)at the freedom Hall Louisville KY 😆👍😂😁 wow,,, Mark ‼️ makes the group!!!!!
I'm now 68 yrs old,,, still love there 😃 music 🎵🎶🎵 I am nosey how old are they ( anybody know???????‼️🎶🎵😃😃😂😁
El grupo más ninguneado del mundo.
Siendo que eran lo maximo
El más ruidoso de la época.
I can't tell you how many times I heard this in my Teenage years. This was when they were AWESOME.
Was my favorite song, listen to it non-stop in the 70s.
One of the best bands ever! They made me love this music.. even if I was only 10 years old.. Led Zepellin, Deep Purple, etc.
Double for me too!!!!!!
one of the greatest 'riffs' of all time..
Grand Funk Railroad's Mark Farner turns 71 years old today.
Great Note
An insanely talented man!
@@karenbaumgartel6077 he was a prodigy as a young boy and got better everyday since! Still making new music!

Happy birthday Mark Thanks for the Memories the good Rockin times in the good old days
How did I live 52 years on this planet and never hear this? Incredible performance!!!
They are only 19 and 21 , and a masking taped 200$ guitar and a toy Jazzmaster drum set.
Well I just heard Tool sober 3 months ago for the time been hearing to funk since 71
the best power trio. good bless America for this!
I'm not smoking anything.......AND I STILL LOVE IT!!
lol
Well, I got yo share plus mine and this video is of a badass rock performance! Ooooee!
Not cool.
pffffffttt.....ere
I KNOW. But if anybody knows what 'when my time is up you wait and see, these bars and walls won't keep that stuff from me' is me and me alone
Sensational band, immortal song!!! They deserved a one of a kind recognition!!!
The RAW Energy is over the top and AMAZING!! These guys were so under-rated! True Gem
Mark with that Messenger! I saw them 2 years later - my first rock concert. Mel will forever be my favorite bass play and Don is equally amazing. What a band!
Loved Grand Funk in the late 60's and 70's! They had so many great hits!
I never even heard this song back in the day. I discovered it right here on You Tube, It's
one of my all time favorites. Mark Farner was so damn talented!!!!
IS talented, girl, IS. He's only 72 and he's still kickin' it. Just between you and me, I'm sure he got his fair share of tail. I'd have done him!!!!
A great song originally written and performed by the Animals.
First time I heard it I got HOOKED. I couldn't get this outta my head. They also have this other masterpiece 'Dues' so be sure to check it out if you haven't and trust me, it's EVERYTHING
@@Cuntstantine They are 2 of my favorite GFR tunes also . For 45 years .
Talented energetic and passionate musicians. But don’t forget the songwriting. It’s a totally supreme package.
Extremely underrated band...loads of talent, just never had a tremendous amount of critical attention.
Screw critical attention. We the fans matter. We define them. Nothing comes close to GFR, no one can decide that for me or in general because it's DENYING THE OBVIOUS
How can the Hall of Fame be legit without Grand Funk?
Who gives a funk about the Rock and Roll hall of Fame?
True… When they put guns and roses in the head of deep purple yes and a Doobie Brothers gimme a break
You answered your own question lol. It's not real. It's a popularity contest. Glad some bands have the balls to call them out on it though!
How. ? ?
Yeah. Grand Funk was and is the coolest.
They should of been in the rock and roll hall of fame many years ago!💥
You can say that again!
The Rock Hall of fame is Bogus
@@richardkelly7554 exactly. the same chumps who run Rolling Stone mag also control RnR hall of fame. Says it all right there
Alongside Tupac & Madonna?
Nah. Screw that place.
@@drumdad54sdl47 that's exactly right!
Now THIS is the true definition of what a power trio in music is.
GREATEST song ever recorded love the bass
I copied Mels bass lines and my other 2 brothers copied Marks guitar and Dons drumming. We were a big hit locally and pulled in quite the crowds. Always got requests for this song. Played the first live album front to back. That was the best times of my young life back then.
One of the best rockin bands of the 1970s. God bless the 1970s....!!
They still play -September, 2018 in Topeka. Most of them anyway.
Angel Martinez , I agree. One of the best ever. THE “American Band”
Angel your right grand funk and Uriah heep and golden earring three of the greatest bands are getting screwed by the rocking roll Hall of fame it's not right.
@@richardwarke6036 Bad company and Boston too.
The rock and roll hall of fame blows.
Here's my Humble opinion. ...this bad was Solid..especially in early 70's with all of the great iconic music around them...that being said WHY THE HELL ARE THERE 500 some what dislikes. ....????Obviously you came to this band via search...so the hell with all of you that have em thumbs down!!!!!
+JB Skully Because they started clapping for the wolfman instead of continuing to rock
Clap for the Wolfman was by the Guess Who, not Grand Funk.
I agree 100%Skully
I going to take a guess and say the dislikes are die-hard Eric Burdon fans ,
+47tooter ok I'm a burdon fan animals were great as far as those thumbs down go , no life or taste in music . just saying
66 años y aún me emociona oír a este grupo y más ver sus videos qué en mi juventud se prohibieron
WOW, What strong memories! Man, I love those guys still. And Mark is still pumping out the music today. Great Band!
This band always knew how to let the music breath so we really feel it! Loved them since the mid 70s.
Incredible performance!!
Chicken pickin 3:12 > 3:52 is some Grand Funk.
kneelandpray2: Absatutely Posalivly agree>/
Scorpion s
not bad for some strong white boys from Michigan.....go blue

Thank you! Incredible! The way drums and bass backup Mark Farner on his killer Harmonica is outrageous! 👏
Gawd I thought he was so sexy ❤❤❤
Excellent musicians! I have always loved their music! 💗💗
I love watching this. PURE Rock N Roll
"Grand Funk Live", together with "Deep Purple in Rock", were my favourite records when i was 13 years old. Those records changed my life from german and british POP listener, to a heavy rock listener and musician.
Way to go 🤘🏻
Killer Track from my High-School years.
Confirms that less is more and that bands can create amazing music free of special effects - and a lot backup. This gem proves it. Reminds me of the early Deep Purple and Led Zepplin sessions.
Definitely Purple. I could hear it as soon as you pointed it out. Kind of like an American version of the Ian Gillian (sp?) lineup. So much ballsy music has come out of Detroit over the decades. My first concert ever was GFR (the trio version) opening for ZZ Top when I was 13. It was ZZ Top's El Loco tour. It quite literally changed my life for the better.
***** Long live 60's rock n roll. Michigan was prolific. Magical times.
Evan Thompson Your right, sir. I just keep coming back here for a pick me up. Always saying, "Three guys? Three guys. Three guys!!! Daaaaaamn good!"
***** Thanks for your insights.
G Nelson It may be that they benefited from a lack of techno support bands enjoy today. They were stripped down and relied on their energy and creativity, not staging.
Such happy memories with this totally underrated talented rock band. Just 3 guys doing it all!!!
This has got to be the BEST performance of this song. ... one of my favorite!
I've never seen anybody as good in concert, amazing!!!
Love that harmonica solo !!!!!!
I was only 9 when they recorded this. Seems surreal that was 50 years ago. My older brothers bought all their albums and my dad hated them. Those were the days.
If your dad hated it.....You know it was Great. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
grand funk .....true band.... musically and vocally.....let it live on.
Todd G ]hi
Love Grand Funk- 70 years old and the vibe is still the same as when my friends and I played this during high school. ❤
