    Simply amazing to see Mark Farner belting one of my fave songs from 75 when GFR was one of the great underrated rock bands of the era. The man just doesn't get enough cred.. As for his voice..must be the envy of his peers.. he is an absolute legend.. Outstanding...

      Don't know if that makes him or anyone else a true artist or not (you've just called Elton John and hundreds of others non-artists btw which is ridiculous) but kudos for Mark for enjoying great genetics and personal habits to still be able to sing as well as he did in his 20s.

    Grand Funk have always been an incredibly underrated band and Mark Farner has written some outstanding songs, "Bad Time" is one of the many.
    GREAT to see Godfrey Townshend (most notably of John Entwistle Band fame) on rhythm guitar.

    It's taken me nearly 50 years to realize how much Mark Farner's lead vocal on this song from 1975 sounds like Mickey Thomas singing the Elvin Bishop tune "Fooled Around and Fell in Love" from 1976. Two of the best male lead vocals of that decade.

    As A young man in Mzantsi(South Africa), I grew up listening to, in the diet of my musical playlist(LPs at that time), to Grfand Funk Railroad.. I will add to the list of accolades about his voice and guitar dexterity and playing, that I am glad he's still around and has not aged musically and or otherwise.. I'm talking merely from a standpoint of being a music lover and appreciator. For me, Grand Funk Railroad were Bad Ass Kickers then and now-seemingly into the viral Soup age-We dubbed this genre here in the Township of Soweto, South Africa, "SOUNDS HEAVY!"(Sounds That Are Heavy-Heavy as used in a Jazz Sense)-but for us for the Music of GFR)), me and my friends..
