The sheer power of this performance is beyond amazing! Marks blistering guitar playing, Mel’s thunderous bass line and the pounding of Don on the drums is epic on the grandest scale!!! Long Live Their Music!!!
This is when Music was Fun..No bright lights and fireworks..Tight stage..The crowd..loving it all..All the bands were doing studio music at the time..Beatles et all..Grand Funk said enough..lets have fun..We needed it..and they gave it..Thankyou for this video!!!!
If l remember right l started listening to GFR in 1971 when I was 17 yrs. Old. They had so many awesome songs!! Gosh it takes me back in time when it was PEACE,LOVE & ROCK-'N'-ROLL. I will be 70 this year! 2024
YES, I am also 69. Turning in October. Saw them twice in Germany in 75. Stationed in the right place at the right time! A dream come true! BEYOND AWESOME !!!! 🐓🏴☠

Just so you know ... Caught in the act ( live of course is great ) .... Craig Frost was on Keyboards making him the 4 th member of Grand Funk Railroad !!!!
It's a very long time since I was in a Grand Funk Railroad gig, one of the best bands from the USA, along with Steppenwolf, Mountain, Sir Lord Baltimore, Manilla Road, Bloodrock, MC5, Vanilla Fudge, Iron Butterfly, Creedence Clearwater Revival ............ they made of the 70s hard rock and roll scene something extraordinary with their sound ........... great rock times that hardly can be matched by bands of today.
Dies ist einer der Besten Rock ' n Roll Songs aller Zeiten . Seit über 50 Jahren ( Scheiße , bin ich echt schon so Alt ? ) kann ich es immer und immer wieder hören und ( so gerade noch ) ein bisschen abrocken . Kiffer für immer ! Grüße aus dem hohen Norden von Deutschland .
What I admired about Mark Farner was that he was one of the very few guitar players worldwide that never had to have his eyes on his fingers and guitar while playing. Mark the extraordinaire guitarist doing his this thing. Millions of guitar player's past, present and future have to ALWAYS keep their eyes on the guitar and their fingers while they play. Mark Farner Was Grand Funk Railroad With A Style All His Own.
There are many guitarist that don't look at their hands so wrong ! But Mark and Grand Funk was one of the down and dirty rock bands that stood their ground they was bad ass !!! Once Mark left them Grand Funk didn't exist 🎵🎶🎸👍
Sure, my buddy, I could notice that deed when catching the video, great, magnificent, admirable, noticeable, remarkable AND one of a kind, but I think you should say " doing this His thing" instead of what you say. Anyway, that's a super observation I' ve never seen in a guitar player, AND you are right. Congrats.
I can vouch for that I'm a guitarist also , and seldom look down, at neck I started playing around same time as grand funk, great band 👍 I played with a guy named Dino Livingston, a great inspiration to me, when I started , unfortunately he's no longer with us, his band was called loosely tight , 👍
This morning, my 65 year-old mother shared me this link via Whatsapp. Now it's noon here, I'm blasting this song through my new set of speakers and I feel like I'm the luckiest and most loved son in the whole world. Greetings from Mexico City!!
Это уже классика рока. Чудесная команда... с трудом можно поверить, но прошло больше полувека... Волшебное чудесное время. Эх..., сейчас такой теплоты в исполнителях нет... Браво Гран Фанк !!!... 👏👏👏💥👍
My Grand Funk Railroad! Leave me speechless every time I listen to this live. A powerful trio at that time. You can't get no matter than this in my opinion. Grew up as a teenager listening them. And now Im 60 years old and still jamming it! Love you guys! And this kinda music is never gonna to just die out. Legendary!!!!😊👌
It gladdens my soul to watch some the REACTION videos on TH-cam. Amateur rappers and hip hop musicians are reacting to Inside Looking Out 1969, inside a studio and they LOVED it. I did too, consider Mark was only TWENTY ONE. Hopefully word of mouth.....
This was my first taste of music when I was a kid my older brothers are GFR freaks they were teenagers and I was a little kid Brewer was my very first influence besides Buddy Rich because he was on TV alot then listening to this is like going home again great memories!
OMG..those guitar solos by Mark..& bass by Mel/drums by Don. Such an amazing feat by all! Marks vocals R something else! Just luv this entire performance, hands dn. 🙂🙂💗💗
I saw GFR in January 1970 at the forum.Still the greatest concert I've ever been to and I've been to hundreds of concerts. My ears haven't stopped ringing since that day!
How lucky were you! I was only 10 years old in 1970, but I wish I had been born 5-10 years earlier because I tell you what, I would have gone to these live concerts and Woodstock!
Wow! What a performance! I was only 15 years old when this concert was held. I missed a lot of good concerts because of my age. But I'm glad I found this song live. This has got to be the best live performance of Inside Looking Out. I wonder what the policemen in the background thought of this concert. Wish I were there during that period of time. Great performance guys. Grand Funk Railroad Rocks!
I was 14 when I seen Grand Funk at Cobo hall in Detroit. My ears rang for 3 days. My first concert was the Animals I was only 10. By the time I was 15 I'd seen tons of concerts including Jimi when I was 13:) Peace
Mark farmer, and gran Funk, one of My favoritesperformerd, i remember the first times i Heard footstomping mudic, black licorice,increíble music, me farmer so charismatic, im so sad when i realize that this music Will never be Made again!!
Concierto histórico! Que energía irradiaban los 3.....Que espectáculo!.....imposible hacer playback...verdaderos músicos...........Desafortunadamente ya no hay bandas así. Aun conservo el álbum en acetato y el espectacular póster que venia incluido....donde aparecia Mark Farner con sus Ray Ban modelo MacArthur. Tengo 66 añotes y no me canso de escuchar este fabuloso concierto. Saludos rockeros de corazón.
Yo tenía alrededor de 7 o 8 años cuando escuchaba a mi tio poner bandas como, black Sabbath, led Zeppelin, the animals, rolling stones, deep purple, zz top, the Doors, hendrix, creedence, cream y por supuesto GRAND FUNK, recuerdo aun que me obsequio una cinta del álbum rojo, que jamas lo olvidare🥹 esa fue mi incursión al rock y posteriormente al metal, a la fecha sigo disfrutando cada minuto de las canciones de esta gran banda, tengo 27 años y es musica que le enseñare a mi hijo, bandas como esta son verdaderas leyendas ❤ gracias a los viejos como usted mantenemos vivo el espíritu de esta hermosa música, porque cuando a nosotros nos toque ser viejos inculcaremos la misma musica❤
By far favorite band. I had all the 8 tracks. I would be blasting GFR through those Cricket Box speakers that sat in the backseat of my 1970 two tone baby blue Toyota Celica. Thank you Mark Farner for the memories. God Bless you Brother.
El principio de una larga relación musical !!! Tenía 12 años, no era consciente que estaba cambiando la manera de ver la sociedad en el mundo. Recuerdo la primera vez que escuché este tema.....me preguntaba : Y esto qué es?.....me gusta !!! Feliz de haber nacido en 1958!!!.....Y de haber sido adolescente en los 70' !!!....No tienes ni idea de lo bien que me siento ahora a mis casi 66 años de estar escuchando, viendo y disfrutando de esta JOYAZAZAZAZAZA!!!

Hola amigos tengo 61 y quiero decirles q la 1a vez q escuche a gfr.tenia 12 y nunca he dejado de escucharlos es un privlejio ser un fan de ese gran grupo viva el rock!por siempre,saludos
It's actually the Live Album audio version overdubbed on the video performance. Nonetheless, it shows what they were about in concert and the size of the crowd and the reaction are brilliant
so true brother. Pure sound and performance. No electronics. No laser lights. Just full blown get down and work. Bands in those days were exhausted after a show> Farner's shirt would've been soaked ... if he'd worn one
Esos eran Conciertos !!! Chequen el escenario y la gente bien clavados en el concierto...Tres tipos en un escenrio rustico y con solo su prescencia para complacer a su publico.Pero bueno esos tipos eran ¡¡¡ Grand Funk Railroad !!! Nada mas...Saludos desde la CDMX...
En rock no existe el mejor grupo. Por que cada quien. Su estilo a mi no me entra la vejez se lo atribuyo al rock. Yimy. Hendrix elevado al nivel de mozart. Y bethoven
No se necesitan drogas; para q penetren estas notas musicales; de Rock puro. Tenía 7 años, entinces; pero fue a partir de los doce años; q empecé a sumergirme en ésta música. Y aún ahora, con mis 58 años; sigo rockeando. Tengo el orgullo; q uno de mis hijos; ame y se apasione, x este género musical. Y quizás una de mis nietas.
OMG!!! If we just had a time machine 2 go back to these awesome times in rock history. GFR is one of the best bands ever..& SO deserving of being inducted into the R&R HofF..if any band ever was! ....
I still can't believe that GFR isn't in the so called, Hall of Fame. Take the majority of the bands that are in and put them and Grand Funk in a venue and you'll see which one fills up the fastest. GFR sold out faster than anybody. Get your crap together Rock & Roll HOF.
I purchased this album 2nd hand in the UK in 1973 at the age of 10 and I still consider it to be an absolute treasure of my collection. The ultimate power trio of all time. I actually have a German pressing of it as well!
This is killer.. I used to watch these guys on my bike 3 houses down as a kid as they jammed on the porch here in flint Michigan. Craig frost the keyboard player was our neighbor. He was a real nice guy and now plays with bob segar…
Great Story! I grew up in Detroit loving these guys. Seen them at the Olympia in Detroit on the Closer to Home Tour. Ten tier A Mail Order and went with a bunch of Highwaymen and Zulu's. Not the kind of people you want to Scalp 🤓
I would have to disagree on at least one point. Santana played at Woodstock in the 60's I saw Santana two years ago, and he hasn't missed a note in 50 years. It was just like hearing a studio album all over again. CARLOS SANTANA, YOU STILL ROCK.
Nugent and KISS were both loud as hell too. Worked one Kiss show where Wendy I Williams opened for them. Was up in the rafters with the lighting and pyrotechnics guys, making sure everything worked when it was supposed to. Ears rang later even with com muffs on...
@@jerrywoods4066 GFR was considered as the loudest rock n roll band in the world in the early 70' definitely from 1969-1972, even Ian Gillan pointed out : "we are by no means the loudest band in the world as the Guinness Book of Records says. We may be the loudest they ever measured but compared to people like Grand Funk Railroad we’re quiet man!”
The best live band of all times, grand funk brought to their live shows pure energy of their music, the fans of the band understood it better than the critics, janis joplin came to their shows, jimi hendrix came once when the band of noel reading opened for grand funk and frank zappa loved them because they were down to earth people and good musicians so he produced for them the album from 1976, thanks for sharing this historic film.
Awesome! All three of them. The bassist, Mel Schacher could make that bass growl at ya! He is the first one I had seen that could bring that heavy funk, rock sound playing with a guitar pick! Music never dies here. Legendary!👌👌
@@jefferyfunk6819 I was a little younger. I was listening to them when I was 13 years old. I know Mel had to be 19 or barely 20. He was the youngest of the three. He had talent and still got it!
@@jefferyfunk6819 Well at 19 Teen I was learning how to destroy Soviet Tanks in West Germany. But I seen Grand Funk Railroad when they did a show in Frankfurt in 74!
Had the best suprise this morning the radio palayed some Grand Funk Railroad. A few tunes made me feel so nostlgic! Im your Captain, We're an American Band. I was in such a good mood.
Thay are not forgotten as long as you and I still remember how much fun we had when we saw them sell out in Japan in about 45 minutes over and over again
Grand Funk Railroad is a Real Grand Funk Railroad. I love your music since many time ago and GOD loves you more. Do not 4get HIM. Take care and be safer at home. Blessings plus greetings !
Saw them in 1971... They were my FAVE band of all!! Insane musical prowess all the way around 🌹🌹🌹 Wore out TWO vinyl copies of this album before college
@@bflo1000 You better believe it! I was a freshman in college when they performed this. Rock critics and many of my college peers did NOT dig them. I Loved them!! The Red album Rules. Glad you young people appreciate!!
@@mikelewenson1818 Well Mike, I'm not that young either! Too young to see GFR, but I had the Live Album after it came out and basically wore it out, LOL. You're right... The Red and Live albums, Closer to Home and E Pleuribus was their best stuff ever!
@@bflo1000 Well a lot of people back then were OLD when they were YOUNG. Now they're really OLD. In my mind, I'm still EIGHTEEN!! ( was 18 in 1970 when that song came out) GFR FOREVER!!
The sheer power of this performance is beyond amazing! Marks blistering guitar playing, Mel’s thunderous bass line and the pounding of Don on the drums is epic on the grandest scale!!! Long Live Their Music!!!
This is when Music was Fun..No bright lights and fireworks..Tight stage..The crowd..loving it all..All the bands were doing studio music at the time..Beatles et all..Grand Funk said enough..lets have fun..We needed it..and they gave it..Thankyou for this video!!!!
We could hug the stage
This is th BEST grand funk!!!!! Im 62, all my kids know this song!!! Was on in the mini van all the fime!!!!!!
If Grand funk is not in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame something is wrong
If l remember right l started listening to GFR in 1971 when I was 17 yrs. Old. They had so many awesome songs!! Gosh it takes me back in time when it was PEACE,LOVE & ROCK-'N'-ROLL. I will be 70 this year! 2024
That right good old days
YES, I am also 69. Turning in October. Saw them twice in Germany in 75. Stationed in the right place at the right time! A dream come true! BEYOND AWESOME !!!! 🐓🏴☠
Ждём,когда напишете это через 25 лет,а мы все старые меломаны прочитаем это,или нам прочитают около холмиков..всем здоровья
The most intense/dynamic/angry sounding Bass I've ever heard in my 65 years.. Mel Schacher was incredible.. Holy Cow!!
Absolutely!
My first Rock Band...1971. Never stopped 65 yrs. old. This is the only music I know & can feel
These guys really deserve to be in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame! probably more than any band ever!

No están? La banda más subestimada dela historia.
Pure music and absolute feeling with the audience. There is hardly anything like that anymore.
Know what you mean
NO EXISTE LAMENTABLEMENTE
First real rock record I owned was Grand Funk live caught in the act. Best 3 man band ever.
Hmmm - they were great no doubt, but better than Rush in a three-man band combo?
Also iam your captain Good one
@@SigmaTau6 Way bf Rush GFR made us feel we could also make great music with 3 pieces. Give them their flowers.
Just so you know ... Caught in the act ( live of course is great ) .... Craig Frost was on Keyboards making him the 4 th member of Grand Funk Railroad !!!!
My man Mark walks up, plugs in, and brings the pain...he just oozes charisma and talent.. a real showman!
one of high school all time bands.. we drove around smokin a little ganja and listening to them all the time!!! ah the 70's were magic!!!!!!!
The greatest thing about this concert no damn cell phones. Just living in the moment.
Right on man.
Refreshing.
@@garygarber7668 q1l
RIGHT-ON..P.S.,,,,IM NOT A PHONE GUY;NERD OR A CURBSIDE PIC-UP CLOWNN!!
You think that if there were cells phones at that time no one will record? 😂
TRUE! When does THAT happen anymore?!?!? Too busy with cell phones lol!
One of the best rock bands ever...... The energy they put in every song is amazing.... Mark, Don and Mel.. Always
Well, not always. Mark was a great fun loving hippie once. To bad he found gOD.
And then Don and Mel screwed Mark big time. Disgusting
No fue una de las mejores, fue y será la mejor.
It's a very long time since I was in a Grand Funk Railroad gig, one of the best bands from the USA, along with Steppenwolf, Mountain, Sir Lord Baltimore, Manilla Road, Bloodrock, MC5, Vanilla Fudge, Iron Butterfly, Creedence Clearwater Revival ............ they made of the 70s hard rock and roll scene something extraordinary with their sound ........... great rock times that hardly can be matched by bands of today.
One of the greatest pure rock songs ever recorded!
One of the best songs by one of the best bands ever
Growing up in Michigan I saw these guys a bunch of times and they NEVER disappointed! Time for rock & Roll hall of Fame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m from Ferndale- saw them many times too, I love Grand Funk- the greatest !!!!❤️✌🏻🌸
Raw energy, as real as it gets

The BEST rock trio ever in a live setting. Listen to that Bass, Guitar and Drums. TIGHT! Also Mark Farner always sung it just like the record.
Johnny Winter early stuff probably better.
Cream, was ok
This IS the album.
You got that right period.
JIMI WAS THE BEST BESIDE THE MASTER

My ears haven't stopped ringing since that day!
50 years of tinnitus! How horrible.
It might be on the First Live album. It was actually recordings of different stops on the '70 Tour - read the liner notes 🤓

Saw them 5 times in 70’s, Tulsa, teenage years, obviously one of my favorites. They are not in R & R Hall of Fame, let’s fix that💪….
If I could afford a time machine service, a GFR concert would certainly be a destination.
So damn good, every time!!!
There's Videos available on TH-cam of alot of Grand Funk Railroad Live back then. Check it out 🤓

Todo ser humano busca la felicidad y cantantes como este del grand funk la ha dado por lo qu los nombro rayos de luz
No se necesitan drogas; para q penetren estas notas musicales; de Rock puro. Tenía 7 años, entinces; pero fue a partir de los doce años; q empecé a sumergirme en ésta música. Y aún ahora, con mis 58 años; sigo rockeando. Tengo el orgullo; q uno de mis hijos; ame y se apasione, x este género musical. Y quizás una de mis nietas.
Con el paso del tiempo se aprecia más está música, fueron geniales pero efímeros
OMG!!! If we just had a time machine 2 go back to these awesome times in rock history. GFR is one of the best bands ever..& SO deserving of being inducted into the R&R HofF..if any band ever was! ....
They actually have a song called "Time Machine" - Debut album- great song !!
I still can't believe that GFR isn't in the so called, Hall of Fame. Take the majority of the bands that are in and put them and Grand Funk in a venue and you'll see which one fills up the fastest. GFR sold out faster than anybody. Get your crap together Rock & Roll HOF.
that fuzz tone style of bass playing by mel schacher is PURE OVERDRIVE PERFECTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@paulgarbutt8113 it is brilliant indeed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a cranked tube amp !!!
That's how he gets that snarling overdrive,classic!!!!
I bought the live album when it first came out- played it til it wore out- still great to get to listen to it 50+ years later- still diggin it
I purchased this album 2nd hand in the UK in 1973 at the age of 10 and I still consider it to be an absolute treasure of my collection. The ultimate power trio of all time. I actually have a German pressing of it as well!
This is killer.. I used to watch these guys on my bike 3 houses down as a kid as they jammed on the porch here in flint Michigan. Craig frost the keyboard player was our neighbor. He was a real nice guy and now plays with bob segar…
Wow, that had to be awesome, wow!!!!
Great Story! I grew up in Detroit loving these guys. Seen them at the Olympia in Detroit on the Closer to Home Tour. Ten tier A Mail Order and went with a bunch of Highwaymen and Zulu's. Not the kind of people you want to Scalp 🤓
Thats an awesome story! How lucky were you?
I’m from Ferndale- those were the greatest times !!!! ❤️&✌🏻---🌸.
I was very young as I sat on my Schwinn stingray at the end of our driveway. I couldn’t go past it lol… saw them from 3 houses away
Freaking Hands Down. They were phenomenal!!
Many bands can't sound the same live as in the studio. These guys could really play.
No one can sound the same live as in studio xD
You missed my point, which is many bands can't play at all without the help available in a studio
Deep purple was another one. Led Zeppelin not so much.
I would have to disagree on at least one point. Santana played at Woodstock in the 60's I saw Santana two years ago, and he hasn't missed a note in 50 years. It was just like hearing a studio album all over again. CARLOS SANTANA, YOU STILL ROCK.
@@grizzled8353 He was and, apparently, still is great. I saw them in 1975 in Calderone theater in 1975, and I agree with you
Yup! So Awesome, and a great show man!!
Revisited Aug 25, 2024. This song still ROCKS! 😎
How can this great band not be in the Rock-N-Roll hall of fame, just don’t understand
The biggest selling and most influential band of the early 70s. RRHF is lame. Kiss(biggest in the late 70s) isn't in it either.
You are 100% in this commentary, ...thats right!!
Who cares?
@@gogoyubari366 only. To persons with good taste .
@@gogoyubari366 better not to comment.
Grand Funk Railroad the LOUDEST band !!! WOW! Thanks for upload !!!
Nugent and KISS were both loud as hell too. Worked one Kiss show where Wendy I Williams opened for them. Was up in the rafters with the lighting and pyrotechnics guys, making sure everything worked when it was supposed to. Ears rang later even with com muffs on...
Deep purple the who held those records in early 70s
@@jerrywoods4066
GFR was considered as the loudest rock n roll band in the world in the early 70' definitely from 1969-1972, even Ian Gillan pointed out :
"we are by no means the loudest band in the world as the Guinness Book of Records says. We may be the loudest they ever measured but compared to people like Grand Funk Railroad we’re quiet man!”
I'm Joe Pena from Lubbock Texas l saw Eplorious Funk in Amarillo Texas in 1972 it was Great
The best live band of all times, grand funk brought to their live shows pure energy of their music, the fans of the band understood it better than the critics, janis joplin came to their shows, jimi hendrix came once when the band of noel reading opened for grand funk and frank zappa loved them because they were down to earth people and good musicians so he produced for them the album from 1976, thanks for sharing this historic film.
Awesome! All three of them. The bassist, Mel Schacher could make that bass growl at ya! He is the first one I had seen that could bring that heavy funk, rock sound playing with a guitar pick! Music never dies here. Legendary!👌👌
AND JUST THINK HE WAS ONLY 19 HERE WHAT WERE YOU GOING AT 19 ? JUST AMAZING TALENT MAN.:)
@@jefferyfunk6819 I was a little younger. I was listening to them when I was 13 years old. I know Mel had to be 19 or barely 20. He was the youngest of the three. He had talent and still got it!
@@jefferyfunk6819 Well at 19 Teen I was learning how to destroy Soviet Tanks in West Germany. But I seen Grand Funk Railroad when they did a show in Frankfurt in 74!
I Think the same,..exactly!
Veo a un público disfrutando al 100% de la música de esta gran banda. Obvio gracias a que no existían los celulares. Que tiempos tan bellos.
Tks Mark, Don and Mel... You make so happy in my youthness... And up to now
Esta cancion es una obra de arte. Tonos, ritmos, etc unos fenomenos
Exelente grupo.Lo escucho desde los 70's y lo seguiré escuchando siempre.
This simple component of members, sound and instruments can create such energy and enthusiasm!
0v1
Had the best suprise this morning the radio palayed some Grand Funk Railroad. A few tunes made me feel so nostlgic! Im your Captain, We're an American Band. I was in such a good mood.
Been blasting this gem since it came out! Thank you , goodnight!
Grand Funk Railroad the first Heavey metal band!
MC -5 from detroit was

Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath
@@mike67006700 Blue Cheer at about the same time.
They blew the roof off of every Arena and packed every stadium in the early and mid 70'ds. Was lucky enough to see them in 71.
Thay are not forgotten as long as you and I still remember how much fun we had when we saw them sell out in Japan in about 45 minutes over and over again
Grand Funk Railroad is a Real Grand Funk Railroad. I love your music since many time ago and GOD loves you more. Do not 4get HIM. Take care and be safer at home. Blessings plus greetings !
Una de las mejores interpretaciones en vivo en la historia del rock .
El rock por siempre. Vivió,vive y vivirá por siempre. Saludos y abrazos para quienes compartimos esta música
Y pensar que fueron teloneros de led zeppelin...
🫂✌️☮️🤘🔥🎸🎼
Keep Rockin’ !!!! 🌺🌈🌸✌🏻🌹.
I cannot even describe the feeling when listening GFR - Inside looking out
bass solo in this song is something out of space.
long live rock n roll
The best bass ever!
FORMER BASSIST FOR SIXTIES ? MARK AND THE MYSTERIANS, CIRCA 68.

No words!!! Incredible band
They were the Best rock bands back in the seventies And even today When I listen to them they're still great
Gracias!!!
Tenia 16 años y compré su disco Pluribus como una moneda y ahora con 70 años ; increíble
My first concert in 76 was Grand Funk with Wet Willie opening, Spectrum in Philly! Peace!!!
Never, ever get tired of listening to GFR! My favorite live album of all time and wished I'd been able to make a live performance.
Es increíble que después de 51 años aun suene tan bien, una banda adelantada a la época, y el público también lo mismo.
🤘🔥🎸🎼✌️✌️🍻🎯⚡️
Rockin’ !!!! ❤️✌🏻🌹🌈🤟🏻🌸🌺✨🌼💋.!!!!!!!!
Saw them in 1971...
They were my FAVE band of all!!
Insane musical prowess all the way around
🌹🌹🌹
Wore out TWO vinyl copies of this album before college
Ahh real music... I miss you.. the talent of the guitarrist/vocalist/harmonica is monstrous!!
I fxxxxxg love this band. Saw them when a kid, yes in England. Still love and listen. Love 💘 from England 🇬🇧
Love from Portugal ☺🎸🍷
@@mariacarvalho7260 thanks chick
This is the best sounding bass I've ever heard on my phone.
Some of the best bass tone ever!
Ive got all the GF albums on 8 track cartridge ,i agree the bass is BONG RATTLING .
@@bflo1000 You better believe it! I was a freshman in college when they performed this. Rock critics and many of my college peers did NOT dig them. I Loved them!! The Red album Rules. Glad you young people appreciate!!
@@mikelewenson1818 Well Mike, I'm not that young either! Too young to see GFR, but I had the Live Album after it came out and basically wore it out, LOL. You're right... The Red and Live albums, Closer to Home and E Pleuribus was their best stuff ever!
@@bflo1000 Well a lot of people back then were OLD when they were YOUNG. Now they're really OLD. In my mind, I'm still EIGHTEEN!! ( was 18 in 1970 when that song came out) GFR FOREVER!!
50+ years later - still the best!
avevo 15 anni quando ho ccmperato questo disco doppio. Da allora,i Grand Funk sono stati la colonna sonora della mia vita.
