    These guys were everywhere in the late 60s I can remember riding around in my car with my buddies and listening to Grand Funk Railroad with the volume turned up on my 8 track tape player and smoking weed what a great time to be alive wouldn't have missed it for the world

    Goosebumps! So haunting, sorrowful, and beautiful. NOTHING Mark Farner sings is “trash.” It’s all good. Thanks for the reaction. 👍

    I haven't heard Mean Mistreater in many years. Certainly not with an orchestra or even seeing it live. Headphones on and Loud. This was a treat!

    Van, the opening music was from the studio version of “I’m Your Captain/Closer to my Home”. This is why you have to react to the Studio version!

    “Heartbreaker”.

  • @deborahcornell171
    @deborahcornell171 2 роки тому +18

    That was beautifully done & I'm glad you really liked it. Being as you do, listen to the original studio version too. It is indeed a very good song.
    Stevie Ray Vaughan talked about the harmonics & vibrations of different songs hitting different people different ways, creating strong reactions & feelings. This one hit you that special way.
    Speaking of SRV, still hoping you do "Couldn't Stand the Weather" live in Austin (highlights each bandmember). And "Life Without You" at the Capitol Theater (written for a dear friend who passed unexpectedly, astounding performance with a lovely message in the middle directly from Stevie's heart).💙☮💙

    Oh, Mr. Van - I KNEW you'd love this 1! You KNOW you're bad when you "come back" with a full orchestra. Just heart-breaking soul! If you want to hear the flip-side, you could react to "Rock 'n' Roll Soul". Also, "We're An American Band", their signature, & "Are You Ready?", GFR's spin on a classic. Thanks for loving & sharing their sound.

    One of my favorites! Mark is much older here. I believe they did this originally in the 70's.
    He plays a mean guitar, Harmonica and piano/organ. I love the original. Check out the original.

  • @notgivennotgiven7776
    @notgivennotgiven7776 2 роки тому +32

    It's Farner's voice. He Is Grand Funk Railroad! and those 2 other guys backstabbed him and legally got him booted from the band. They tour as Grand Funk, but they are not Grand Funk Railroad without Mark Farner. I could be wrong, but I think this was around the time they got back together just before they screwed Farner. Peace

    • @suecook1326
      @suecook1326 2 роки тому +8

      Yeah, Don and Mel cut out the heart of Grand Funk when they cheated Mark out. Now they're just a tribute band playing at the Indian casinos in Michigan

    • @Rhiannon011
      @Rhiannon011 2 роки тому +6

      @@suecook1326 There is "No Grand Funk Railroad" without Mark F. I don't care what anyone says, this is fact and true! Like you said they took the soul and heart out of the band without Mark. So sad. But hey Mark is doing fine on his own and still playing guitar even better now. Lead singer, keyboards, piano, harmonica, writes the songs, guitar, and yes I've even seen him play drums when he does concerts on his own. You can check all of Mark's concert and such on youtube thru the years. They are everywhere and easy to find. He plays a lot of the good old songs, including "Inside looking out, heartbreaker, mean mistreater, etc..

  • @greenbeatsred
    @greenbeatsred 2 роки тому +21

    This is my first time hearing this version of the song. I still think the original live version from their "Grand Funk Live Album" is better. It's from 1970 and much more raw in remastered form. From the same album is a song called "Heartbreaker" similar stylings.
