Thousands have said, and I agree, that this may be the best live performance ever captured and posted on You Tube video. Consider that this was 1969....unbelievable.
This and Black Sabbath in Paris, I think early 70s. War Pigs is excellent.
Also Ten Years After- I'm going home live at Woodstock
Grand Funk always brought it
I grew up in LA and in late 60s GF was the live concerts we all wanted tickets for. They could rock a crowd..
So funny, all the performances you each have named, along with Otis Redding’s “I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” at Monterey, are my most-watched videos on TH-cam. Y’all nailed it!
😎😎😎 ***BACK WHEN THE BAND & THE AUDIENCE FELT THE MUSIC TO OUR BONES*** 😎😎😎
Back when you could afford a ticket to see a band live.
GFR original lineup: Mark Farner-lead guitar, vocals, harmonica, organ. Don Brewer-Drums, vocals. Mel Schacher-bass. After a period of legal hassles with management they added Craig Frost on keyboards.
Mark Farner,one of the underrated singers of all time!
Some people might not enjoy the rawness of this performance, but I love it.
Led Zeppelin's manager, Peter Grant dammed sure did not like the rawness GFR put out when they opened for a show for them so he fired them!
I'm a black dude going to a black high school in 69-70 when this came out and we rocked this every single day in the cafeteria. Along with Hendrix Who knows, Black Sabbath, and Santana.
@@laryanryan9170 I'm a black dude who was also in high school listening to GFR. I first heard the song on black radio station, WVOL . Saw them in '73 in Nashville. We had a three piece black rock band, and we played this song. (Not very well, but we played it.😁)
I love their rawness
I forgot to mention Funkadelic, Maggot Brain.
Grand Funk Railroad is a great American rock band from the 70's. "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)" is one of my favorites. But they had a lot of great hits such as "Some Kind Of Wonderful", "We're An American Band", "The Loco-Motion", "Walk Like A Man", "Shinin' On", "Bad Time" etc.
So forgotten.
Cream got all the glory, and deservingly so.
But dang, I don't recall ginger baker ever singing lead in any cream song.
My first ever 8 track wich I wore to absolute death scotch tape splice upon splice death .
E Pluribus Funk.
.NYU
Started in 60s.
I have been a GFR fan since 1971. Check out the live versions of “Heartbreaker” and “Foot Stompin’ Music”. If you want to do the complete immersion go get the album “Closer To Home”. Put on the headphones, turn up the volume and get ready for Track One, “Sin’s A Good Man’s Brother”.
SAGMB is one of my fave GFR songs (NOT Locomotion, LOL), and the best song off that LP.
I found them in 1971 also. Walked into some party and Foot Stompin' Music was playing on the turntable. One of my favorite albums.. And now I am 71, stll love that E Pluribus Funk. Survival a good album too.
The Black Album. All live.
GFR, One of the greatest bands ever !! I graduated HS is '66, and when they made their first appearance at the Atlanta Pop Festival in '69, I was blown away !! They stoled the show. Another time, when they opened for Rod Stewart and the Faces, the crowd Boo'ed Rod Stewart "off the stage" !! GFR is the first "Arena Rock" band and were selling out Stadium tickets faster than the Beatles !! "Mis -management", finally did the band in. They were bilked, by their Manager. (an old friend) !! Mark Farner, the leader is still going strong, today !! Long Live, GFR !!
GFR opened for Led Zeppelin in Detroit and had the crowd whipped into a frenzy and Peter Grant made them cut the power because they were rockin it out to hard and he was afraid of Zeppelin being upstaged.
Led Zeppelin didn't play because of that. Funk was killing it and he wanted them to stop. Funk and the audience would have none of that and Led Zeppelin pulled out and didn't play. They were fantastic. I saw them twice in Houston.
And don't forget GF were from Flint Michigan. Right up the street from Detroit.
They were named after the Grand Trunk Railroad too.
Love their cover of "Gimme Shelter"
Greatest Band that never got in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Darn shame.
Damn Right, it's a major shame!
GFR is fire dude !!
i was born 1966,
when i heard this band in 70s
oh boy,,, till now I break my sound system playing this song,,, i dont care my hood for the loud music i want rhem to know this is my time of pure music !!
2022 Dec still rockin !!! peace
"We're An American Band" is the song most often played nowadays, but "Rock and Roll Soul" and "Bad Time" are great tunes too.
Mark Farner the lead guitarist and vocals were the driving force in this band. During his seven-year tenure with the original Grand Funk Railroad, Mark Farner turned out an astonishing number of original songs, writing the lion share of material for the group's 10 studio albums. Here's another song "Grand Funk Railroad - I'm You're Captain - Shea Stadium 1971" and Here's another band, if interested "Atlantic Rythm Section - Imaginary Lover - HQ" this is another harmony band... beautiful R&B, soul🔥💖🤗✨🤗🎶
Don Brewer on a basic small drum kit makes them sound great he's talented, Mark Farner on guitar vocals harmonica should be in the rock and roll hall of Fame, the whole band should be in the rock and roll hall of Fame one of my favorite groups
And why is it that they are not in the Rock N Roll Hall of fame? These boys are from my hometown of Flint Michigan, and can blow anyone off the stage. Damn shame, long overdue
@@shellygarland2799 The R-n-R Hall of Fame is A Joke !! I Agree With You 100 % on They Should Be In The R-n-R Hall of Fame !!
Rolling stone magazine regularly trashed them , calling them no-talent hacks basically. So probably no HOF any time soon.
The guitar Mark is playing was in there! That's goes to show you that place is all about money.
Mark Farner lead guitar and vocals, don brewer, drums and Mel s Hatcher on bass
Grew up in South Florida listening to Grand Funk. Saw them live in Concert. Was awesome.
Useless factoid : The band "Grand Funk Railroad" got their name from a Canadian railway company called the Grand Trunk Railway system. The company started in eastern Canada in the late 1800s and eventually extended down into the U.S. into Maine, Michigan and even down to Chicago. The Canadian portion of the company went out of business when Canada nationalized their railroads in, I think, 1923. But some of the small American portions of the company kept operating well into the mid-1900s. So, when a little rock'n'roll band out of Michigan in the 1960s went looking for a band name, they saw the still operating Grand Trunk Railway, and turned it into the infamous "Grand Funk Railroad". Grooovy . . . .
Yer right, man! Drummer's killin it with a bass, tom-tom, and snare! Wow! Great reaction!
...one of the greatest live cuts...ever...🔥🔥🔥
Some kind of wonderful is a great song by them
Very first concert I ever went to wad GFR way back in the late 60's. I was 15 at the time.
I was lucky enough to see them 3 times in the early 70's.
They were my very 1st Concert ever in Houston (Bloodrock opened for them)
Go for a good time. Stunned by the Musicianship and vocal talents of both Farner and Brewer .
It's an absolute tragedy that GFR is not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Who the hell is on that nomination committee?
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a f**king joke!
Woke jokes
The same a holes that dont like Ted Nugent. Right?
@@michaelglick1287 Mistake by the Lake. All about Lib politics. Kid Rock wont get in either. Or any band that calls themselves "Brandon"
The Rock Hall of Lame was started by a few Rolling Stone Magazine Libs.
The fact that ABBA got in tells me everything.
Thank you Dolly Parton for denying your entry because you didnt want to diminish the flavor. Hey you wrote great country songs! That would be in Nashville. Not the mistake by the lake.
It's a new band for You, It's one of the Classic Kick Ass Rock Bands of the 60's and 70 's we older folks listened and grooved to in our Youth.
They were only 20-years-old! This was their first year together, too. Lead guitarist and singer Mark Farner was "relearning the guitar," which he hadn't played in a year-and-a-half. And he only learned how to play at age 15. And get a load of this: He's still performing! Don Brewer on drums also sang lead sometimes. Within three years, this garage band sold out Shea Stadium in seven days. It had taken the Beatles seven weeks to sell out a few years earlier! They were a shooting star, for sure, and broke up in 1976.
The next year, Mark Farner woke up and wrote "I'm your Captain" during the height of Vietnam. Here's their legendary performance at Shea Stadium in 1971: th-cam.com/video/A_t59To7Snk/w-d-xo.html
Saw them in concert in 1971 with Bloodrock as the warm up band fantastic concert
Absolutely love seeing the joy on young people's faces when listening to great music! I still can't believe they aren't in the Rock and Roll hall of fame!
Bassist Mel Schacher, Drummer Don Brewer and Lead Guitarist and Lead Vocals Mark Farner Grand Funk Railroad is a Power Trio from Flint, Michigan my late Dads Hometown.
My first time on your channel. I live your reaction. I'm 70 years old and they are one of my top 5 bands of all time. These guys are out Michigan. Drummer is Don Brewer. This band has funk, rock, soul and blues. All from a 3 man band! That bass drives them !
And FYI,,Farner is still singing today and sounds AMAZING!!!!!
The guy on vocals is Mark Farmer. 🎤🎸🎶🎧
Don Brewer is the drummer. Mark Farner is the guitarist and main songwriter (although this song is a cover of an Animal’s song, made famous by GFR) and awesome bassist Mel Schaker. This was the very first record I bought with my own money. Five bucks in ‘69. I was 11. I still have it on cd and love it to this day. Awesome record!
The drummer is amazing in every song, but there are a few videos where the camera stays on him longer so you can watch. He sings lead on some songs too.
Don Brewer the drummer tours with Bob Seger. Keeping it pure Michigan rock!
They have so much great music never mentioned in the comments. Great classics by GFR are Paranoid, The Railroad, Gettin Over You, T.N.U.C. featuring a great drum solo by Don Brewer, Flight of the Phoenix, Loneliness, Good and Evil. They have such a rich cataloge.
Loved this band. My first concert ever 💜
For a long time they held the record for most quickly selling out one of the big stadiums in NYC.
Like the band “Cream”, “Grand Funk Railroad” (later shortened to just “Grand Funk”) was what they called a “power trio”.
GRAND FUNK RAILROAD STILL THE BEST CONCERT I'VE BEEN TO SO FAR.....66YRS OLD AND WENT TO TONS OF CONCERTS!!!!! LOTS MORE TO ATTEND!!!! THIS IS MY FAV SONG OF THEIRS!!!!!!
That long haired handsome man on lead guitar and vocals is Mr Mark Farner. It has been my pleasant honor to have him as one of my neighbors for years. He is as kind and down to earth a family man as he is talented. I do not give my admiration or comments lightly and I admire Mark greatly. Also one of my guitar playing inspirations.
Last year Mark sold out our local casino in under thirty minutes. He has ten years on me and he still kicks it on stage like that video.
Great reaction and keep on rocking!
Mark Farner…lead vocals, guitar, drums, keyboards and harmonica and also wrote 90 % of the songs for the band
Mel Schacher...bass guitarist
Don Brewer...drums and vocals
Craig Frost joined the band a few years later.
Mark Farner - Guitar/vocals
Mel Schenker - Bass
Don Brewer - Drums/Vocals.
I can't remember the brand of guitar Farner was playing way back then, but he said in later years that it was the rattiest mess of wires and strings anyone had seen. But the sound it produced in his hands was one-of-a-kind.
Holly bejebus. I can still remember hearing this for the first time. I was spent just listening!
Once of the all time best pure rock and roll songs EVER!!!
fun note: GFR toured with LedZepplin but got kicked off the tour real quick. Why?
Booze? Drugs? nope...jealousy
GFR got more encores louder crowds than LZ. LZ got angry and gave them the boot.
One of my favorite songs and bands! The music today will never be able to sound like the incredible music that came out of the 60s and 70s.
They sure don't make them like this anymore
I saw Grand Funk live back in 1970. Phenomenal! Farner had us by the ears for sure. I was all of 17 years old. We were dancin up and down the aisles in the auditorium.🎼💟
Mark Farner and GFR served as a golden template for multitudes of us in the late '60's-early '70's starting off in junior high and high school rock bands. A role model for novice shirtless frontmen, shirtless frontmen vocalists, shirtless frontmen vocalists who were also the lead guitarists, shirtless frontmen vocalist lead guitarists who played harmonica...or keyboard...or cymbal...or cowbell...
Man they sure don’t make ‘em like this anymore!! This was the first band my mom seen in concert and she still claims it was the best show she seen. And she seen everything from zeppelin to Floyd to the stones! Hell she even has a pic where she sat on stage with kiss!! 🤣🤣
I always get SO EXCITED every time I see a new reaction to this song!!!
Thank you so much!
"Heartbreaker" (live) is also 🔥
I also like watching people's reaction hearing them for the first time
How many of today’s bands could pull this off? No auto-tune, no dancers, no lip syncing.
Thank you brother, haven't heard that in near 50 years. Blast from my past. Got divorced in 79, judge gave her all my albums, never recovered all that fine music, but did get to see GFR in little Rock Arkansas in 97.
The tightest 3 piece band Ever!!! The blew me away the first time that I heard them play back in the day and I was hooked. No one sounded like them, no one came even close. They were on fire 🔥 ❤
Wow..I was 17 when this happened...it was such an awesome time! We had it so good💞
I'm about to turn 65 and just discovered your channel last night. It's been so fun to go back to my younger days with you. Chicago, Grand Funk, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger and so many more. I know I'm prejudiced, but I think we grew up with the best music of all time.
the singer and guitarist is Mark Farner, the drummer is Don Brewer , and the bassist is Mel Schacher one of my favorite bands .
This was the band that got me to pickup the guitar and play. I seen the name Grand Funk Railroad and had to see your reaction. I see you jumped on the funk train just like I did. Mark's voice is better than ever. His band is MARK FARNER's AMERICAN BAND. He still play's and sings and hit's every note. He hasn't lost his edge. I hope you take a listen to Footstompin' Music. Thanks for the video
Great reaction.
Great band.
More please.
This senior citizen is out of geritol..
😅🤣😂😅🤣😂
This senior citizen wish he could go back to that time
@@jerrywoods4066 Me to but I have to leave out The United States Army!
I grew up during the 60s and 70s. Super Talented bands galore. Three guys actually making all those BEAUTIFULY FUNKY sounds. Still amazes me.
Dang... I was listening to them as a high school freshman in 1970. This was one of my favorite songs, I've probably listened to it hundreds of times. Saw them live in 1972.
Im jealous your hearing this for the first time. I know just how you feel🤘❤️ 3 guys, no dubbing no gadgets
And it's LIVE!
I wish I still had my original “Grand Funk Live” album.
I remember buying this album and playing it on my parents console stereo in the living room when they had stepped out, which was far too infrequent.
Oh, so much for you to dig into with this band. . . Some Kind of Wonderful (oh, look below!) and have a blast!! We screamed this one at the top of our lungs back in the day!!! :)
This was my jam when I was in high school. GFR and LED Zeppelin.
Ok for me deep purple then rainbow also UFO Sabbath Montrose early van Halen acdc kiss priest skynyrd Nugent . High school those were da days
Thanks for playing this awesome song from my youth...I had forgotten how powerful this band was....And may say back in the day...There were always great black singers with amazing songs that touched your heart...But now, in this world we've made for ourselves...What the hell has happened where are all the good entertainers...The older I get the less I know about anything.....Thanks again Sir....It pleases me to see a young man who's parents has raised him to meet the world with his head held high and focused on where he's going...But watching every step as he keeps moving forward.
Grand Funk had a #1 hit "Some Kind Of Wonderful" which hit #1 on the pop charts. In the 90's the lead singer had the same song with a change up of words, hit #1 on the gospel charts.
This performance was recorded in Hershey, PA at the Hershey Community Center by WITF-TV channel 33 (PBS station) in 1969 for their show titled "The Show". There were only a few handfuls of people watching it live.
Probably the best 3-piece band live performance ever and this is coming from a dyed in the wool JIMI HENDRIX fan... truly EPIC performance!!!
Hell Jlmi knew how good GFR was. He even got Mark Farner high when they did a concert together.
Great but I'll take triumph
@@dennisholiday1868 but his idol on guitar was Terry Kath
Love Grand Funk Railroad seen them 2 times. One time in 1977 they rock the crowd. They still sound the same today
Grand Funk Railroad❣️ An original Michigan group.. Yes, they were from my area of the Thumb..I first saw them in the little town of Caro, MI at a high school concert just before they hit it big..awesome group!!
Closer to Home, is my favorite, but also check out Gimmie Shelter, Feeling Alright, and I Can Feel Him in the Morning….
Great reaction! This performance is freakin awesome! So glad we have this little nugget of music history.
Love it! Thank you for checking this out. Keep it up. You will be amazed.
Inside Looking Out was too long to get radio play but was one of their best songs, of many great ones. Don Brewer hit 'em like Bonzo, very underrated drummer, imo. They rocked like nobody's business. Try American Band.
Christmas of 1970 my girlfriend and I exchanged gifts at her house.
We each had bought Grand Funk "On Time", for each other. Was planned.
There was Lots of Heavy Rock in the 70's. Will never be a Rock decade like it. 🤟🏼💃🤟🏼
I interviewed Mark Farner about a month ago. He still has that mind boggling talent today at 75 and he is still out there playing gigs, I don't know how he does it. And, for the record, he is one super nice guy, he loves his fans.
Very first album I purchased as a 12 year old kid was Grand Funk Railroad's "E Pluribus Funk", great band.. (influenced by my Uncle Marty)
Best band that is NOT in R & R HOF. They deserve to be in it.
Check out Heartbreaker.......GFR is from Flint Michigan....Mark Farner...Guitar & Vocal....They let it all hang out.
My "homies"!!! My cousin went to HS with Donny Brewer and his mother was her brother's teacher in Swartz Creek...just outside of Flint. I worked with Mark's brother in Drayton Plains GM Parts Div.
Definitely try I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home) and another great song by them called Footstompin Music is excellent!
If it hasn’t been noted yet - Mark (guitar/vocals) and Don (drums/vocals) were all of 20 when this was recorded, and Mel (bass) had just turned 18.
While taking R&R in Okinowa from Vietnam I visited a bar every night there because they had a cover band. Three Japanese musicians created an exact copy of Grand Funk. Close your eyes and there they were.
Seen GFR 8 times and can say they are my favorite band..Kick-Ass 100%.Check out GFR concert at She's Stadium singing Closer to Home..Sold out that concert faster than the Beatles!!
YEP SOLD OUT IN LESS THAN AN HOUR!
I just love watching these reaction videos of young people checking out music from my day. They know good music when they hear it
Now you know I felt when I attended my first concert in 1971 and it was these guys. I still remember looking around the stage wondering where all that music and sound was coming from. In concert it sounds like there's at least 5 maybe 6 musicians performing. Every time the drummer hit the bass drum it was like getting kicked in the chest. I went back the following year and saw them again in 72.
Rush did the same for me.
@@charlespapps2389 Those 3 piece 70s power bands were really something.
Grand Funk was a bad ass rock band. I was in Vietnam in 1969. Came home in 71
They were the first concert I went to. Dam it was good to be home jammin ro a killer rock band.
Oh come on man, listen to "Mean Mistreater", and "I'm Your Captain". Yeah! Listened to the double 8-track album of this band in 1974 over and over!
I grew up with this awesome band. If you liked this song, look for Mean Mistreater.
Man, I first saw this live performance about a month ago. I've found my new/old favorite band...
Mark, Don and Mel
GFR is arguably the most popular and greatest rock trio in rock history .
All rock musicians know know very hard it is to get such a great sound with only two instruments (and drums) in a rock band but, GFR were masters at it .
We'd have this playing rattling the picture window's in the front room. My mother would pull up in that buick. We lit for our rooms like our butts were on fire! lol))
Whatcha think about that!😆 Great band. Always enjoyed that performance. Raw and in your face. They have a lot of great songs, more than I can list. Heartbreaker is one of my favorites. The Railroad is another.
Great choice and great reaction!
That bass is stanky 😎
Watch that concert from the 70's, so good. Donny Brewer
Mark Farner on lead guitar, Don Brewer on drums and Mel Schacher on bass. They added Craig Frost on keyboards later in the 70's, he was a very good addition to an already fantastic group. Check out "t.n.u.c" live and "Foot Stompin' Music", you won't be disappointed.
You've got to listen to more GFRR. Their name was a play on the Grand Trunk Railroad, which was a real railroad. They are awesome!! My hubby used to play bass was he was in a band. He loved playing the riffs from GF songs. They were from our own backyard, Flint Michigan. Mark Farner singing, Don Brewer drums, Mel Schacher bass. WE'RE AN AMERICAN BAND......I'M YOUR CAPTAIN/CLOSER TO HOME.....SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL....should be next. Definitely more please.
Saw these guys play live several times in LA back in the day--and there was no way you could sit still even if you wanted to. Superb performers from start to finish!
Only after this does Some Kind of Wonderful come next. If Inside Looking Out was their very best song then Some Kind of Wonderful was their most commercially successful song.
MY Man!, GFR consisted of Mark Farner (G) Don Brewer (D) who came from Terry Knight and the pack. Mel Schacher came from the ? mark and the mysterians (96 tears). Listen to the first 6 albums. They were a power trio band. On time, the Red Album, Closer to Home, Live album. E Pluribus Funk, and Survival. They never got any airplay. They toured 11 months out of the year and it was the fans that made known. They need to be in Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. Just look at the crap that they let in. Its really sad to see these guys NOT in there. I was lucky to see them 3 times. I also have the shea stadium concert which reminds me that they sold out faster then the beatles. It took the beattles almost a week. GFR did in less then 24 hours. Great BAND that deserved more.
Some kind of wonderful.
The drummer ! OMG. He SING !
An plays. Incredible band ..Yo
Da Real Adogg,
Thank you! I haven't listened to this band since the early 1970's, on the Eight track tape player in my old '55 Chevy two door hardtop with the souped up small block motor and almost straight pipes.
I can actually hear and see the music now!
Just too cool!
i saw them open for zz top in the mid 80s and they stole the show. that drummer was unbelievable. listen to Time Machine by them too.
I saw Mark Farners American Band in...2017? and he was still fantastic. Still moving around the stage.
