Still able to sing in the original key-props to him. Most singers of his era couldn't come close to singing in the same key that they originally recorded it in.
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...
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.
yeah.... struggling a little in places but having a good go at it..... love singers like this who ain't afraid to go for them notes..... that use to come so easy....... a lot these days would just lip sync..
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.
@@davidkyle2073 Perhaps talent would been better to use than artist, but don't think he was trashing anyone else. Almost all singers loose the singing voice over time and he's giving this guy credit for still having some left.
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.
Just hear this song on Sirius in the last week. Haven't heard it in ages. I love the song now I can't stop listening to it. Had to check out this video. Mark still sounded great here.
I haven't heard this song in a long, long, time. Great to hear it again. Grand Funk was one of my favorite bands ever. Especially loved this tune!!!!! Mark, you still sound great!!!!!!!!
mark is an underrated musician and song writer....he trusted his band and they stuck it where the sun doesn't shine..He 's a Great song writer and plays the guitar effortlessly but it speaks to you..great vocals 2..
good to him again after so much time. good rendition too. this was the sound of the spring of 1975, I was in high school and remember exactly where I was the first time I heard this. you knew instantly it would be a hit. reached #4 on Billboard. Thank you, Mr. Farner.
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.. Thanks for posting this gem, "sakatchawan".. Much appreciated...
You still got the voice and range. We used to do a lot of Grand Funk and James Gang material in the early 70’s as a trio. Never could find a guy with a B-3 with the Leslie speakers. Believe or not Mr. Farner I’m 70yrs old and tonight at rehearsal we talked about your band material and “ Bad Time “ “ American Band “ and “ Loco-Motion “ are now in the works. Thank you and your band for some really great Rock n Roll
Would love to see GFRR with Mark play live. Would be a dream come true. I grew up listening to this band. I am 50 now. I still have the heart of a ten yrs old. this music never dies, that is why my heart is still young, it pumps this music in my blood.
During all the years Mark was solo, he played at practically every dive that would hire him. He's a true musician that loves what he does. Very friendly down to earth guy also.
Mark Farner said "My lifestyle was not conducive to happy home and marriage. I was divorced in 1975 and wrote a song called Bad Time. The song was written in some real turmoil!"
Marks such a great guy & bad ass at the same time. I know Mark wrote this about his divorce but you can hear Todd Rundgrens influence on it as Todd was working with them at the time. What a great era of rock & roll !
Incredible! How old is he now? Damn good, and I think it ran only 2 seconds more than the original hit recording! One of my favorite songs of all time.
Sounds amazing....not like that wanna be band pretending to be Grand Funk Railroad. You can change just about anything in a band and still have "The Band", but when you remove the energy and the lead "sounds", you get a wanna be. Rock on Mark..you're still bad ass !!!!
Here's what brought me here: I shop at the new Piggly Wiggly down the road and the manager plays 1970's music all day! I'm so glad I was shopping when this was on in the store!
Susan Buckner He still can sing and play that guitar. In his prime, Mark was a heck of a guitar player. We used to ride around town playing Grand Funk 8 track tapes at full blast in the car. And this song was on that album All the girls in the world beware. Mark was a stud. What a time we had!
Great song and still sounds good live after all these years.I first heard this by the Jayhawks on their faithful cover version. Saw them do it live during their English tour last year.
Bom! Pra quem não conhece a versão original os arranjos e vocal estão iguais! Queria estar nesse show! Essa banda é foda! Exemplo de amor à música! Divino! Thanks
I was debating on whether to go and see GFR in concert tonight when they came to Oklahoma. After watching a current live performance of them from a couple of years ago on TH-cam, and the comments saying that the band isn't the same without Mark Farner, I said no way. This is my favorite of their songs and if it can't sound like this, I would be disappointed. People were commenting that this guy was the best part of the band and that he wanted to be back in it, but was denied the chance to be back in it.

Mark Farner needs to be in the hall of fame, with or without the garage band. He is rock royalty!!!
Mr Lloyd you are absolutely Correct, I saw him a few years ago in St Charles Illinois Mr Farner still has it 👏😉
@@Irod69 indeed 👍

Him and Ted Nugent

This was my favorite song in 1975 for the entire year. Great tune!!!
STILL one of my faves!
Real musicians never lose their spark, no matter how many years pass. Nicely done!!
If only that were true. Many great musicians have flamed out for many good reasons. You clearly are not one.

loved this song 40 years ago... still love it and he's still singing it well... very well actually
Same key!

I always loved this song. I had every GFR album. They were a stone's throw always from where I grew up. Marks voice is still so good!

GREAT to see Godfrey Townshend (most notably of John Entwistle Band fame) on rhythm guitar.
Thanks for uploading. Mark Farner still sounds good after 36 years from the original studio recording.
Mark Farner still rocks! Listening to this brought back so many awesome memories from my wild youth. Love it!
I agree, so much talent. Went to many Grand Funk concerts!
Just hear this song on Sirius in the last week. Haven't heard it in ages. I love the song now I can't stop listening to it. Had to check out this video. Mark still sounded great here.
Great song! One the most important influence for us (I'm talking for me and my band mates)! Tks for all!
I'm in love with Mark Farner! I have always loved this song. Thanks for sharing .
Blessed with such a great voice and musical talent.
Wow. My favorite GFR song of all time. And Farner is still belting it out! Rock on man!

I'm a Thai man 33 years old. I like this song a lot
Saw Mark last year and he still sounded great. His voice has held up over all these years. Hope he comes back my way again.
Amazing, his voice sounds exactly the same as when this was first recorded..Love it!
Mark Farner...A musical genus!!
he can still sing it. amazing! The song of 1975
Great performance! Sorry I never saw GFR back in the day, but have seen Farner several times and always enjoy his playing.

Love Mark Farner! Rock & Roll Hall of Fame----it's past time!!!
Blown away that he still has his voice after all these years. This is a high note even when they recorded it. TWO THUMBS UP !!!!!
Mark hasn't lost a thing. His voice is still so great! Always loved his music.
.
Great song and still sounds great live! Brings back happy memories. And he's still Some Kind of Wonderful.
This reminds me so much of the carefree days of being 15 in the 70's . Mark Farner still sounds great !

One listen and I feel like I'm in junior high school again. Love it! Such memories.
Great voice sir. I have listened to this song with my dad since I was a little girl. Beautiful song
Original key, still sounds so cool. We did this song in one of the bands I played in. Thanks Mark!!!

I love this song, he still sounds great!
Still sexy, his voice is one of the best in the industry...was only a little girl when this song was popular brings back so many memories...
Great 70's vibe in this tune (though a difficult time of life for the singer).
Still sounds great.
legend,in his own time,and still makes me shiver from the talent,he kicks major ass and I guess he always will,go MARK
Been waiting close to forty years to see this video. It was worth it. And as someone else said - why isn't GFR in the R&R Hall Of Fame?
During all the years Mark was solo, he played at practically every dive that would hire him. He's a true musician that loves what he does. Very friendly down to earth guy also.
Mark Farner
Maestro!!
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇵🇪🇵🇪
this guy has a distinctive voice--if he can sing like that at his age, dude musta ruled when he was 25!
Mark Farner said "My lifestyle was not conducive to happy home and marriage. I was divorced in 1975 and wrote a song called Bad Time. The song was written in some real turmoil!"
love this song
Amo essa canção. Grande Farner. Amor pra sempre!
Sim...
Amor pra sempre...
Marks such a great guy & bad ass at the same time. I know Mark wrote this about his divorce but you can hear Todd Rundgrens influence on it as Todd was working with them at the time. What a great era of rock & roll !
Love this! Mark IS Grand Funk!
Amazing! "It feels like I'm wearing it out" - he sings, but it seems that sturdy Mr Farner is hard to wear out. :-)
Mark Farner fue un verdadero héroe para mi generación, ¡esa rola es apabullantemente hermosa!
Damn, the last time I saw Mark was '69. Looking and sounding pretty good !
WOW, he sounds amazing, maybe even better now - my favorite GF single, just brilliant.
hE GOT A LOT O' SOUL.
Mark, man you still got it. 🎸🎶
Incredible! How old is he now? Damn good, and I think it ran only 2 seconds more than the original hit recording! One of my favorite songs of all time.
born September 29, 1948
72 in September 2020
One of the most underrated of our time
Daaaaamn. Mark still looks and sounds great!
Even time past but your intelligent and powerful still be with you forever. Love you and this song.
I haven’t heard this song for a long long time back in the early 70s
After 40 years he still has a great singing voice!
Sounds amazing....not like that wanna be band pretending to be Grand Funk Railroad. You can change just about anything in a band and still have "The Band", but when you remove the energy and the lead "sounds", you get a wanna be. Rock on Mark..you're still bad ass !!!!
Jack Black Yup
Mark still sounds awesome!
its incredible that his voice has not skipped a beat after all these years
Wow... Amazing. He sounds as good as he did way back when!
70's and I still remember #proudofmyself
I could listen to him all night :)
Still great and that's a challenging song.
Let her be somebody else's queen, I don't want to know about it. Fantastic lyrics
1974---2011

Grand Funk without Mark Farner is like the Stones without Jagger!!!
+hotrod4rds Or CCR without Fogerty!
It's like Hall without Oates.. Well, maybe not.
i love how he sings how he dances
Awesome live

Great song and still sounds good live after all these years.I first heard this by the Jayhawks on their faithful cover version. Saw them do it live during their English tour last year.

He still sounds good on this terrific song.
