Tenía 13 años para este recital, vivíamos una dictadura feroz, criminal y terror, pero el rock fue mi compañía y mi libertad, conocí grandes amigos y amigas que luego nos convertimos en luchadores sociales y nunca abandonamos el rock, hasta hoy. Saludos desde Chile a todos y todas los rockeros del mundo.
Un grande saludo de Brasil por la bela lutcha contra la basura pinochetista de Chile. Acá lutchamos contra el fascismo tenendo los hermanos del Chile como exemplo.
These guys should be in the R&R Hall of Fame a long time ago! The bad thing about it is too many people judge a band's impact on their history based on the number of #1 hits on the billboard chart, not necessarily on how good a band is on their own merit! JMO!
Nope. It’s because the Crock and Crow Hall of Fame is totally controlled (selection) by Rolling Stone Magazine and their publisher. Anyone who knows the music business knows this.
Me acuerdo de mi hermano qepd en 76 el ponía esas rolas yo tendría 5 y el 19 pero como le gustaba el gran funk y ahora me gustan estas canciones saludos desde CD de México
This song is pure sex n rock n roll its a disgrace that they r not un the Rock n Roll Hall of fame!!! This saved men un Vietnam spirits n it made high school a party!!!
I spent Days n Weeks and Months when I first began falling in Love with my Acoustic Gtr trying to Learn how to lay my first finger down across the frets so I could play A Bar Chord…Until I could I just used only 1 finger.And Finally I Got it Together.Learned to play those BAR CHORDS.Since Way Way back Then I’ve Never Stopped Playin’ My Guttars…And I’ve Never Stopped LEARNING.Stick with It.
Don't worry Madonna and Lady Gaga will be, what a crock of shit............ like everything else it's been politicized and the R&R Hall of Fame has been Hijacked !!!
Not at all "hard rock", they were the epitome, alas the essence of American Rock n Roll, purely an American phenom devoid of drugs, so good, so amazing that the agent for Zepplin realized as an opening act, the audience was totally lost in GFR and upstaged Zep forced promoters to cut GFR off. The crowd went biserk nearly causing a riot! Hail, Hail the American Band!
I just saw Mark Farner live a few months ago and he still sings AMAZING! Grand Funk is NOT Grand Funk without Mark Farner. He still looks great too! Oh yeah!
I saw him a few years ago and note for note never missed a beat. UNBELIEVABLE!!! The others are clowns trying to do it without him. No matter what reason.
Farner always puts on a fun show, But I like the songs Don sang as well, it's a shame they hate each other. Even Zappa couldn't get those guys to get along, lol
Grand Funk Railroad belongs in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Period. The Boys know how to Rock. Not the Shit we have now. Long live the 🎶 of the 1960/1970's. The Best Rock n Roll Ever. Fact. Period.
There was no room with all the disco queens & pop artists they picked cause the accountants who run the R&R Hall of Fame have their head up their azzes.
saw them a few times in boston and what a show don brewer is the best drummer in rock did a solo at lightning speed 4 at least an hour straight unreal better than keith moon of the who love grr

Ashsmed to say ive not long discovered them,i was a teen in the UK when they were big in the states,so wasnt really awate of them.OH BOY did i miss out!!! Im makin up for it now! buying the back catalogue as we speak,lol WHAT AN AMAZING MAN!!!!!!!!!!
Perry Kalamaras How and why they are not in the hall of fame is simple. They would not sell their souls to the devil. When you read and hear about all these bands that are so popular (especially the British bands) is because they signed the ( Contract ) which basically you sell your soul to the devil. Hollywood is so Satanic and Corrupt. Grand Funk told them to shove their contract. Other good groups done the same. Once you don't sign you basically go no where or get trashed. Or get Killed.
This 4 is like a highly shining brilliant. Listening it in good headphones and watching the action is tagging up somewhere, like a great battle in ears)). At 5:35 I've forgot how to breathe 😂
You can see and feel the freedom that young musicians felt then , time was spent just playing and playing and creating It truly was an era of creative magic. Modern times often ruin the freedom with all the fake social media and never ending distractions from devices. Including the one i'm on now.
Grand Funk was my first concert experience. 1969 Notre Dame Univ. South Bend IN. My older brother took me. Above all the thunder I clearly recall Mel Schacher's soul crushing bass guitar. They were a trio back then and I was hooked for life.
Ricky Pisano, after 300! shows, how is your hearing!?! Lol. I'm 59 just got hearing aids! Who would have thunk listening to great music would have caused such a problem?? WELL WORTH IT!
Going to see Mark Farner tonight! CAN'T WAIT. Someone once quoted "Know Mark Farner, Know Grand Funk Railroad - No Mark Farner, No Grand Funk Railroad". Ain't that the truth!!
They played 2 nights @ Madison Square Garden NYC just before Christmas 1970. I got there extra early to buy tickets, good thing I did, both shows sold out in about an hour ! What an ass-kicking show, it was amazing !
I can relate to this song...we have all had "Heartbreaker's" Farner has an awesome voice and the band as a whole was so amazing! It is too bad they cant become friends again an make great music once more!!
Mel is the reason I started playing bass guitar when I was 11 yrs old back in 1971.....I think he's one of the best bass players of all time...These cats are Tight......
Ouvi a primeira vez aos 15 anos, em 89. Me apaixonei, nunca mais esqueci essa música. Não sei explicar, mas quando ouço agora, aos 50 anos, me bate uma melancolia...
Love Grand Funk! Takes me back in time when I was blessed to hear really great rock n roll. I drive my wife nuts listening to this stuff. She likes Kenny G. 😂😂
jr 55 As I’m laughing my ass off my wife I asked why I was laughing. I told her your comment. She got a chuckle out of it. I must say I love it! No Grand Funk in Rock and Roll Hall of Shame again this year. Pathetic
I was a Senior in High School when Grand Funk Railroad toured the country...brings back great memories...I had an Afro just like Don the drummer...They were so far ahead of other bands is was sad...other 3 man bands did come along like Triumph, and Rush...but GFR was the original 3 man band...
Gregory Butler, what made them so good I feel is? They actually came up with a new style of music. Take in consideration, You have Rap, You have punk Rock. Then there's heavy metal, but when you listen to Rap it's samo samo. Punk Rock is a bit different but really samo, samo, and heavy metal today I feel is a bunch of screaming Satan worshipers. It's samo samo. With Grand Funk Railroad you mention Rush and they were good and triumph but what Grand Funk Railroad done was played Rock & Roll but added that dance-able jazzy type funk to it. That made it a totally different style of Rock and Roll. That is why so many British Bands criticized them. I think they did because they were simply jealous. The British like to claim their the ones who brought Rock and Roll to America with the Beatles. Partly that';s true but Americans come up with country and western, Rap, and the Ramones started Punk Rock.Grand Funk started the Jazzy type rock with that add of funk. So who started what first. I think we are the winners. The Brits hate that as well. They already got their asses kicked in the war and they lost again.
say what you want, I don't know of any band I've ever seen in my 61 years that worked so hard as these guys did they were flat-out busting it every gig
Do true. The energy they exuded.Farner had it all. What a show!!!! Mean Mistreater...... impeccable timing. True musicians. Those drums....that bass....guitar...voice....well you get the picture.
I remember when their first album came out, my buddy Larry grabbed me after school. We went to his house, put the album on his stereo, fired up a joint and launched into a new world of rock. Amazing days and music. Rock on.
Saw them at the Carolina Coliseum in columbia SC.....while stationed in Ft Jackson...Those were the times....one was young and immortal....can still hear the song....
Si yo también creo que mark farner es uno de los mejores vocalistas que he escuchado en todos los tiempos aparte de ser un gran guitarrista en resumen un gran músico junto a los otros miembros de la agrupación don brewer y nel scheiser y el organista no
sally willis Same for me. Some of my first 8-tracks are GFR. Saw their new line up 10 years ago. Don can still do it on the drums. You have to see this band live to see how great they are as musicians.
Yea GRAND FUNK is one of the very best Bands Ever in the World. Thank you very much God Almighty for Having Great Bands Like Grand Funk and so many other Growing Up in the 60 S. Even today Young people are just Discovering All of the Great Bands For the First time.
The critics crucified them back in the day, but they were great and their stage show left nothing on the table. I'd seen them countless time at The Warehouse in New Orleans and each show was better than the last. These guys were always on fire and would play all night
Oh man that have been great at the warehouse a little ahead of my time unfortunately but I've seen many great concerts at the warehouse UFO Robin Trower ZZ Top Thin Lizzy twice awesome place for a concert
Sweet the year I was born. Heard there greatest hits on my old 95 cd. They sound good on the cd. First time hearing them live. Sound better than the studio version. God/Jesus bless and save all that read this.
Dang man, I miss these guys and music like it. Thanks for posting this concert, man what a time to have grown up… with music this great and musicians this talented. I kept thinking “what did I do with my misspent youth?” Well, I ran around to every concert I could get to hear these geniuses of our day. It Was not wasted at all. Too bad I didn’t have a video sound recorder, holy crap! But thank you for however you got this recording and uploading it for us. The acoustics are amazing!
Loved them while in Nam got a chance to see them live when I got home played in Madison Wisconsin on a cold winter night and blew the roof off the Dane County Coliseum one of the best shows I ever saw. April 1974
The song , the melody , the lyrics it's so beautiful. He's a poet and a great songwriter / musician and great singer. It makes one conjure up all kinds of glorious imagery
Absolutely... Love them still. Best Generation to grow up in. Still rockin itc @ 62 years young. The real deal then .... Rock-n-Roll will never die, ever
UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL and BRILLIANT!!!!! THANKYOU GRAND FUNK RAILROAD!!!!! OUTRAGEOUS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't it? I LOVE *this song and "I'm your captain" by GFR most of all.* I was there!! Epic Real Rock at it's finest. Gr8 tracks if you listen to the entire songs. These guys were so great!! And the times were so different than today by milestones. Freedom and peace and love was palpable in the air, there was no fighting. only PEACE AND LOVE even among strangers... generosity towards our by brothers and sisters we had never met. The very best of times in music. Real life with no technology to ruin it.
WalterJacksonFreeman, Michigan still is & does produce many musicians. Not only musicians but many great actors come from Michigan. Michigan has some of the best schools for music and acting, for being in the Midwest and compared to surrounding states. I live in NC and know of many people who went to Michigan schools to get their degrees.
Saw them at an outdoor concert in Charlotte. Amazing concert... Boston, Mothers Finest, Ted Nugent. We were there all day and never saw any violence. Passed around rolled cigarettes all day and enjoyed a full day of music. How I do miss the 70's...Simpler and better times my friends...Simpler Times!!!
Mark is an awesome singer. I am sooooooo moved by his music. I saw him once in Akron, Ohio at the Key Club, well, next door at Jackie Lee's Complex. It was all I could have ever asked for. He was and surely is INCREDIBLE!
![Mark Farner's American Band - Heartbreaker [FROM CHILE WITH LOVE]](/img/n.gif)
I can watch this over and over again, love it, I’m 65, going good
I’m 70 they were my favorite group. Still listen to them. They didn’t get the recognition they should have gotten back in the day.
Сколько тебе 165?😅
Yo igual tengo casi edad. Y está música me fasina😊😊😊😊
Same age. But I discovered them not such a long time ago. Some 20 years or so....
I was 13 when my big brother gave me the first GFR album. Now I have all their albums and a lot better stereo system than in 1970.
Not too many rock singers can be a singer songwriter, lead vocals, and play lead guitar, keyboards, and harmonica! Pretty amazing!
One of the greatest jam bands
John Fogerty is a prime example, not taking any due from Mark
to be removed from the band by the drummer and bassist, talk about the lowest of low lifes. those two are a head of the line ! a head of joe biden
Listen to The Warning
Gustavo Cerati can do it!
I'm 20 years old, born 1999 --> and I still go wild when hearing this amazing piece of rock and roll!!! Honestly, one of my favourite songs
I'm 59, been listening my whole life, it never stops! Welcome aboard! Listen to paranoid... It rocks! Not the Black Sabbath version, although that jams too! You probably already know anyway!? 🤘😝🎸🎶💥
Right on brother
I was at this show. 1974 at the Forum in LA . A senior in High School w/ my best friend and our girlfriends and it was a fantastic live show.
Gnarls Barkley's Crazy is pretty much inspired on this one, don't you guys think?
I saw them live at Dallas Memorial Coliseum in 1972. 19 yrs old and my first concert. Billy Preston was back up. Awesome memory.
Damn these guys were tight. Love this band and best live album ever
Wonderful song
I still can't believe Mark was 17 when he wrote this.
Pure talent .
This bass-player is a monster. His sound just drives the whole song....!!!
So good. I grew up in such a wonderful time of music.
Si mi amigo es hermosa😊😊😊
Such a spectacular band, every one of them is so talented .
Mark's energy off the charts

Vote GFR in on Sirius XM! That's what I did, also voted for top 50 greatest guitarists.😊
@J Fu That's a good guy. I'm clean up 37 years now. Mark didn't help but their music did! And God! I give Him all the glory on that one!

Nope. It’s because the Crock and Crow Hall of Fame is totally controlled (selection) by Rolling Stone Magazine and their publisher. Anyone who knows the music business knows this.
This is a better recording than Grand Funk Live, and that's saying a lot. I'm 68 and saw them live in Atlanta 1970. What a powerful concert.
I am proud to be the one to keep reminding people of this great band. They held sway over my neighborhood back in the day.

Mark Farner was one of the most energetic and electrifying front men of the 1970s.
Agree
This song is pure sex n rock n roll its a disgrace that they r not un the Rock n Roll Hall of fame!!! This saved men un Vietnam spirits n it made high school a party!!!
A sexed out rock n roller all 4 the ages.. No one comes close!!-
he's got the light of god in him
Oh yes he was and is. Gfr is nothing without mark farner.
I spent Days n Weeks and Months when I first began falling in Love with my Acoustic Gtr trying to Learn how to lay my first finger down across the frets so I could play A Bar Chord…Until I could I just used only 1 finger.And Finally I Got it Together.Learned to play those BAR CHORDS.Since Way Way back Then I’ve Never Stopped Playin’ My Guttars…And I’ve Never Stopped LEARNING.Stick with It.
After 50 years I still have the same feeling when I hear this song.
I always loved this band, but this song has to be my absolute favorite by them!!
a lover of music am I, and back in the days of my youth, grand funk was always there
And yet, they're not in the hall of fame. One of the greatest bands, ever!
+Ralph Rivera they need to be. the only band to get zepplin booed of stage ...
Don't worry Madonna and Lady Gaga will be, what a crock of shit............ like everything else it's been politicized and the R&R Hall of Fame has been Hijacked !!!
Ralph Rivera I'm old enough to remember the news of gfr kicking the shit out of Lzep.IMA HUGE GFR FAN.
America has been hijacked.
people are not aware the stars pay to have there names in the walk of fame, bottom line is money talks and talent walks.
They are by far one of the greatest hard rock bands of all time!!
They were never really considered "Hard Rock."
Not at all "hard rock", they were the epitome, alas the essence of American Rock n Roll, purely an American phenom devoid of drugs, so good, so amazing that the agent for Zepplin realized as an opening act, the audience was totally lost in GFR and upstaged Zep forced promoters to cut GFR off. The crowd went biserk nearly causing a riot!
Hail, Hail the American Band!

Me too
I,m same old

... and WICKED stage presence!!
aside from all the comments, Grand Funk Railroad ROCKED. BEST BAND OF THE 70S
First concert of my life!! Popped my cherry with Mark, Don and Mel!! I can also say one of the LOUDEST I've ever seen. And I've seen over 300 shows!!

Thank You Sir for Getting Me thru Nam. Pulling our troops out of harms way. USS CORAL SEA CVA 43 ADJ VF111 Sundowners. 1974-1977
Got me through playing this in the hut maybe ... 100-150 times. Totally zoned out- passed some times too with the headphones on. :-)
Welcome home , and may God Bless you
They played 2 nights @ Madison Square Garden NYC just before Christmas 1970. I got there extra early to buy tickets, good thing I did, both shows sold out in about an hour ! What an ass-kicking show, it was amazing !
Está canción me hace regresar al pasado que hermosos recuerdos,los pantalones acampanados y los zapatos de plataforma 👍🎸🥁 rock puro
Thank god i had music like this in my life growing up seams like yesterday sniff sniff
damn a jj
You're so lucky!!!
I hear that Joe, I wouldn't change anything if it meant I couldn't have seen and hear the best bands EVER assembled
Yeah we were....Todays music...Well lets be frank ...there really isn't any music today...Nothing like this anyway...
Jeffrey Mitchell The music died at the end of the 70's. Now you got hip hop and rap.
I can relate to this song...we have all had "Heartbreaker's" Farner has an awesome voice and the band as a whole was so amazing! It is too bad they cant become friends again an make great music once more!!
Marvillosa musica que gran talento con 65 años es mi favorito
Mel is the reason I started playing bass guitar when I was 11 yrs old back in 1971.....I think he's one of the best bass players of all time...These cats are Tight......
Same here. I was 12 years when I started playing Bass. Over the next 6 years I had learned all of Mel's bass lines from the Live album.
During their time, there was not a better band around! They stomped, sang the blues, and rocked! Damn I miss them!
One of the biggest live acts of the 1970’s. For a reason!!
Ouvi a primeira vez aos 15 anos, em 89. Me apaixonei, nunca mais esqueci essa música. Não sei explicar, mas quando ouço agora, aos 50 anos, me bate uma melancolia...

Can’t get tired of this song. Mark’s vocals and vibrato are really good. And his guitar skills are pretty amazing also!
I played the hell outta this album back in the day..... had some serious Mark Farner love... yummmm
What an Awesome song.. Grand Funk Railroad.. Heartbreaker!!! OMG.. Brings back memories...
Alaskalive.net 4 Steps to Peace with God-Videos Heck yeah! Only GFR could pull this one off...

DEamn good singing. Just excellent. And oh man, what a fine lead.
The best band ever and a hell of a drummer
Excelente!!!!.
What a great band they were! Very tight and melodic!
All these years later and Grand Funk still sounds just as good as they did back in the 1960's when I was in my teens!!!
Been listening to you since preteen
Sweet the year I was born. Heard there greatest hits on my old 95 cd. They sound good on the cd. First time hearing them live. Sound better than the studio version. God/Jesus bless and save all that read this.

Dang man, I miss these guys and music like it. Thanks for posting this concert, man what a time to have grown up… with music this great and musicians this talented. I kept thinking “what did I do with my misspent youth?” Well, I ran around to every concert I could get to hear these geniuses of our day. It Was not wasted at all. Too bad I didn’t have a video sound recorder, holy crap! But thank you for however you got this recording and uploading it for us. The acoustics are amazing!
I went to as many concerts as possible. Seen some bands 3 or more times. 😊

Unforgettable 70's Hard Rock Psyche, Love them still so much! :-)
Loved them while in Nam got a chance to see them live when I got home played in Madison Wisconsin on a cold winter night and blew the roof off the Dane County Coliseum one of the best shows I ever saw. April 1974
The song , the melody , the lyrics it's so beautiful. He's a poet and a great songwriter / musician and great singer. It makes one conjure up all kinds of glorious imagery
actually , it's really the passion that i love
Absolutely... Love them still.
Best Generation to grow up in.
Still rockin itc @ 62 years young.
The real deal then ....
Rock-n-Roll will never die, ever
Just saw GFR this past weekend in a small 3000 seat, sold out amphitheater. One of the best live performances I’ve ever attended. WOW……just WOW !!!
But Mark Farner wasn’t there. I wish they would get back together.

UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL and BRILLIANT!!!!! THANKYOU GRAND FUNK RAILROAD!!!!! OUTRAGEOUS MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't it? I LOVE *this song and "I'm your captain" by GFR most of all.* I was there!! Epic Real Rock at it's finest. Gr8 tracks if you listen to the entire songs. These guys were so great!! And the times were so different than today by milestones. Freedom and peace and love was palpable in the air, there was no fighting. only PEACE AND LOVE even among strangers... generosity towards our by brothers and sisters we had never met. The very best of times in music. Real life with no technology to ruin it.
+Lorrellei Waterson No technology to ruin it for us back then.
+WalterJacksonFreeman Detroit was the home of rock and roll. Glad I was growing up there when it was in its prime for great bands and great music.
WalterJacksonFreeman, Michigan still is & does produce many musicians. Not only musicians but many great actors come from Michigan. Michigan has some of the best schools for music and acting, for being in the Midwest and compared to surrounding states. I live in NC and know of many people who went to Michigan schools to get their degrees.
they were SO good... Live there was no one like them.
i could listen to grand funk all day. as a matter of fact i have lol
I saw Grand funk Live twice! Unbelievable !! They were Great.
Love this...great show and music!
Saw them at an outdoor concert in Charlotte. Amazing concert... Boston, Mothers Finest, Ted Nugent. We were there all day and never saw any violence. Passed around rolled cigarettes all day and enjoyed a full day of music. How I do miss the 70's...Simpler and better times my friends...Simpler Times!!!
my fave band during my junior high (1969). first time i heard them it blow me away.
Just learned this song I love this band
Mark is an awesome singer. I am sooooooo moved by his music. I saw him once in Akron, Ohio at the Key Club, well, next door at Jackie Lee's Complex. It was all I could have ever asked for. He was and surely is INCREDIBLE!
First album I ever bought was Funk's first... saw them twice in concert... too fun. Love I'm your captain!
This has always been my fav Grand Funk song.
Grand Funk Railroad my favorite band in the 70s. Jam on guys.
Esta rola se siente en el corazón, cuantos recuerdos puede encerrar, libertad total.
