The originality - the expressiveness - the powerful vocals - the manic drumming - thundering bass - the guitar mastery - they etched their way into Rock history ..... Justin Bieber -- are you kidding me ?
Thank God I grew up listening to this great band and other wonderful artists in the 70`s and going to many concerts such as Fleetwood Mac opening for the Eagles , Chicago,Van Halen, Robin Trower, Boston, Aerosmith, Bad Company, Black Sabbath,UFO, Pat Benatar, Yes, Def Lepperd and others. For me the 70`s will always be my most favorite decade of rock music.
It’d been a more real world, if the present and more recent clowns hadn’t shown up with their disposable nonsense, as opposed to the indispensables, like Grand Funk.
I'm right there with you too. It's the music of our youth that will always be in our hearts. It's hard to believe that some of us are in our 70's or approaching 70. Long live Grand Funk Railroad and our youth. 🎉❤
If you're too young to understand this song you will one day if you listen to it it shows you how long life is and how actually short it is show cherish every moment you have 💝
Simply one of the most underrated bands of all time. They did it their way and only true fans understand that 🤘😎🤘 2020, and I've never stopped listening 🎧
What the heck. Best band ever. Taught me how to express my love for rock. I am 66 and still love them. I am a drummer and a singer. This band taught me how to rock the best music and express my self
66 yrs old and still a major GFR fan! What's wrong with the Rock and Roll hall of fame? Can't someone petition for GFR to be admitted? The fans would really love it!!!
@@michelelaraia7358 I was at SHEA STADIUM for a concert in the 70s it was awesome. Mark Don and Mel blew the stage up. Humble Pie opened up for them too. I was and still am a GFR fan. One of my favorite songs is Inside Looking Out. And a whole bunch more. I'm Your Captain is a all time classic.
So did I my two older brothers played them at home all the time I was only 11 years old my friends were crushing on Bobby Sherman not me 😂 Happy New Year 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
HEY, DON'T LEAVE ME OUT!!!! I'm 57 AND I FEEL THE SAME WAY- TALENT WITHOUT ALL OF THE CRAP WE HAVE TODAY !!!! ALL OF THAT TALENT WITH JUST A 3 PIECE BAND !!!! GRANDFUNK , U R TIMELESS !!!! 💕
This song is one of my dad's favorites, it brings back memories of when I was little and he was fixing things around the house, he played his music while he worked, today it's my turn to continue the legacy...🎹🎤🍻😎
you're right he's a musical genius,just think of the sheet music they didn't use,MARK FARNER never got the praise he deserved,none the less ,these recordings tell the truth,don and mel couldn't carry his jock strap
three men who took their precious youth and set the world on fire,made me believe that rock and roll wasn't just words,MARK DON AND MEL three piece band way ahead of their time and damn immortal,hall of fame doesn't have a room or wall good enough for these guys,you can'only do this when you're young and talented beyond you years,thanks FUNK
@missdarlene7 OMG 😃 What a FINE and SEXY BADASS Lead Vocalist and FINE and SEXY BADASS Guitar 🎸 Player and a FINE and SEXY BADASS DRUMMER too 😍‼️♥️ Sincerely Darlene an American Girl Who has a thing for drummers ❤️❤️❤️
They were one of my all-time favorite bands to see in concert! Every time they played in Detroit, my hippie boyfriend and I went! The energy was a magic. Experience!! They should be in in the rock and roll Hall of fame!!
I was going through a pile of my moms classic rock albums and found GFR Greatest hits...I've been playing this thing non-stop and i can't get enough GFR! GREAT TUNE, GREAT BAND. This shit just melts my soul. Love it.
Mark has not got a shirt on, so he is ready to rock. These three were so DAMN good. Why are they NOT in the hall of fame? They were/are good enough.... At least I think they are........ AND that riff at the end.
I had the honor of knowing bassist Mel and jammed many times with him. GFR was way ahead of their time and never given the accolades they deserved. Best live 3 pc. band I ever heard!
My brother played GFR incessantly growing up...I did not appreciate them at the time. What a force they were. My late brother knew talent. Miss you H.S.
I was 11 when I first heard Grand funk railroad My two older brothers played their records I fell in Love with them especially Mark I was going to run away and go to Flint Michigan to look for him I saw them and I'm still goo goo Gaga lol
I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE SEEN MARK FARNER AND GRAND FUNK DURING WE'RE AN AMERICAN BAND TOUR BEFORE HE CUT HIS HAIR ,,THEY WERE AMAZING,,I WAS BLOWN AWAY ,,GRAND FUNK WILL ALWAYS BE A BIG PART OF MY ROOTS OF ROCK N ROLL,,THEY WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE ONE OF MY FAVORITES SEPT.25 ,1974 HAWAII ,H.I.C. CENTER
Actually Rundgren did some great things on American band, but only the obscure things, spacy guitar parts etc. but I think they were going down before Rundgren, for ex. Flight of the Phoenix a lousy album.
Admonished by the critics, adored by the fans. One of the most creative powerhouse groups to come out of the era. Blew the freakin roof off of The Warehouse in New Orleans every time they played. A New Orleans favorite
Grand Funk simply has more soul than anybody else. Their songs don't need to be complex compositions, Mark can bend a note and Don and Mel carry that note to perfection.
i met Mark after a concert in louisiana ..i listened their music growing up ...Mark inspired me to learn guitar,,,it was an honor to talk to this man..
Ah, brings back the days of playing the album cuts of great musicians, leaving radio versions far behind. Unleashed genius you had to stop, sit and focus all your attention on, surrendering to the power flowing from the speakers, the night filled with it, as compelling as classical program music, changing our sense of time... We were marked, changed by what came into the world's shared consciousness, through the souls of so many musicians. How fortunate we were who grew up during the sixties and seventies.
I live in the UK and I didn't know about bands like Heart, and GFR etc for years! I only discovered them much late but wow...this is just absolutely amazing, even to watch now in 2021
The music industry buried it and bred the distorted genres of heavy metal and hip hop..now , ugly seems to be the order of the day for most people ....sad....music could be like this and some still do it....check out Radio Free Republic on youtube..( the whole album but the best is "Love In the Meadow"..). they're good..different than GFR but good and recent....people also seem to not be into live music either and I don't understand that..
Mako 44 whats wiith american rock nroll isint racial its for one and all brother if it pleasures the soul its for me you and every body theres enough sepreration in the world today lets leave aposative positive peace
Saw them in the early 70s, best live performance of any band I saw at the time and I saw plenty. Not many bands have 2 great vocalists, all great muscians and with mark a great song writer. It just doesn't happen anymore
20 years ago Mark Farner played a smaller venue near Wright State University. I was definitely dressed for success. Short leather skirt and low cut top with heels. My ex and his brother were there. Pictures to prove it. He came off the stage and played the song to me. It was mesmerizing. He was so hot. I never thought it would be a day etched in my mind and memories. Wow
From the late 60's to the mid 70's my brother and I had a garage band with friends. This was one of my favorite covers I drummed to. My favorite driving sound! I still enjoy this in my 70's.

And way up atop my personal list is The Who at MSG playing Quadrophenia - OMFG; the first Crossroads Festival (which the DVD missed all the best parts, so thank God I went); the rebooted Allmans; and Stevie Wonder SITKOL.

I have three or four of their albums grew up listening to them still listen to them true fans know who they are they don't need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame which is a joke now
I kid you not, this is the first band I saw in concert, at the (barn) Coliseum, in Spokane, Wa. Oh man, what a band, what musicians, just what an experience! I was thirteen. Mark, you are my Hero!😁☮️✝️💕🕊️

Recuerdo de aquellos tiempos

Y en el 40
I'm still listening to it 2024. I am now 73yrs old
It almost hurts to watch this and think about Rock has disappeared. Do they even know what Rock is ? This IS Rock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No they don't it's all crap now😔
Rock died somewhere around 1980 Pete Townshend announced it in an interview in 1980. He said rock is dead.!
I couldn't agree more!!
These guys were rock, hard and pounding listen to the drums the brutality of a lost love. Lived it this helped me sort it out.
True musician,Great player.......timeless!💞
I'm Seventy-Six years old and still listening😊
71 n still listening. 😊 seen them in early 70's. Great band
65 & still listening & husband & son playing
Yo 66 y también sigo escuchándolos, aquí en México
I´m seventy four years old and still listening
Currently, is there any musical group that sings and plays a part similar to Gran Funk?
Pedazo de tema,los sigo a mis 65,y es un lujo,saludos a todos sus seguidores,gracias
Gracias,
It's a shame The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame hasn't included Grand Funk Railroad. They deserve every bit to belong in the Hall of Fame.
Naw, they don't deserve to have GFR they belong to the real fans of rock n roll.
And did more than any other band for charity & fund raising
Great music and song I'm listening since I was 16 and now I'm 70 love ir
Mee too
I was right there with you.
Has it been that long ago? It went by so quick!
Also 70 and still love Grand Funk Railroad. Great music. And Mel Schacher was one of my inspirations as a bass-player. Always solid. Always amazing.
I'm right there with you too. It's the music of our youth that will always be in our hearts. It's hard to believe that some of us are in our 70's or approaching 70. Long live Grand Funk Railroad and our youth. 🎉❤
One more comment and I'm digging it at 75 years old😊
If you're too young to understand this song you will one day if you listen to it it shows you how long life is and how actually short it is show cherish every moment you have 💝
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this live performance, I’m 68......I’m gonna watch it till I die. Yehaaaa
This has to be one of the greatest rock songs in history. How the hell is this band not in the Hall of Fame?
A journalist once asked Mark the same Question,His reply was,"Because I don't have a Brown Ring around my lips"!
Some Paul butterfeid please
Because is the Hall of Infame
Tedderman johns RR HOF sux.....
Because it's the worlds largest urinal. Piss on it.
Simply one of the most underrated bands of all time.
They did it their way and only true fans understand that
🤘😎🤘 2020, and I've never stopped listening 🎧
Agreed johnnie
Io anche! 👋🏻🍀
Loved them! 50 years later still love them!
There was a gap from 75- to the present,for me, but there has been a revival of simple energy toward many songs I didn't really listen to.
Me Too! 😁🤟

He was seeking God

Oct 2022, and I still love these guys. I remember having my first quad stereo system with headphones, never got tired of listening to them.
Yeah the quad stereos were amazing. Long live GFR!
Haven't heard about quadrophonic in decades. AMAZING it lasted this long! Par-tay on!! 🤘👍🏻
One of my all time favorites! Played their albums over and over back in the day.
That live black album got played at every party I went to back in high school. And that was alot of parties!!!🎉🎉
Favorite song all time , love the bar cords/beat/rifts/song/energy/group ☺
So underrated... The sheer power output from just those three dudes is mental!
farner was a huge talent.unrepleceable.this video of gfr. is priceless.

They have so many great songs but this is probably my favorite of thos great American band.
I met Mark and had a few beers with him:) He told me when and how he wrote Closer To Home:) I'll never forget!:)
Ooooooookkkkkkkkk.............. .
I got to pray with Mark on his tour bus ...... of course I asked him if he still ' smoked ' , he said no but check with the band ..

Una vez tuve una pequeña, a veces pienso en ella,
pero, amigo sabes que ella ya no está ahí.
Cuando los recuerdos surgen,
yo, yo no puedo vivir sin ella,
pero por más que lo intento
es muy duro de soportar
(Estribillo)
Rompecorazones, no puedo tenerla,
Rompecorazones, me está deprimiendo.
Rompecorazones, no puedo tenerla,
Rompecorazones, me está deprimiendo.
(Fin Estribillo)
Ya no lloraré más, vivo mientras vuelo,
pero recordaré y tú me podrás oír decir
(Estribillo X3)

I’m 71 and never too old to rock to this music
I have three or four of their albums grew up listening to them still listen to them true fans know who they are they don't need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame which is a joke now
I kid you not, this is the first band I saw in concert, at the (barn) Coliseum, in Spokane, Wa. Oh man, what a band, what musicians, just what an experience! I was thirteen. Mark, you are my Hero!😁☮️✝️💕🕊️
This is what playing live is all about! !!
What? No Autotune? No crazy effects? Oh Wait, they have real talent. Sorry...
Fuckin' A!!
Jim Santoro right!!!
Jim Santoro hahahahaha right on bro just an awesome trio laying it down thick and heavy
No need for gimmicks. RAW TALENT sets them apart!!!
Precisely. And it's so pure.
you dont hear music like this anymore. brings back good memories..
Seen them in 1981 at The Warehouse in N.O. before it shut down !
