    I wish Mark Farner and the boys could hear this. Great job. Everyone is so tight. That bass tone is outstanding!

      If they did it wouldn't be together, that's for sure. Mark Farner is Grand Funk Railroad. These guys are better than that imposter band calling themselves Grand Funk Railroad. GFR will never be the same without Mark Farner.

    Wow...very impressive! As a drummer myself and having played this song a number of times, I am blown away by the drummer's rolls around the toms....I can tell he's practiced rudiments by the boat load. Also by the way band added improvisation on the intro...! Very well done! Added in 2015 and I'm just seeing this....2021! Hope these guys are still playing!

    I like how the drummer nailed that single roll going into the bridge. Also, the tambourine man nailing the top part.

      Hello Jack, we all have to give them a break. we don't get any younger. When the time comes, we have to let it go. I don't think there are many singers who can go past 75 yo. I think our younsters are really catching on to the music we grew up to and doing a great job with it. Of course we would like the originators of it all but we have to be realistic about it. So, at least the music will live on!

A great lead guitarist drummer and bass I sang lead at the time The bands name was Bhang then we changed names to August Trane. I had a great time that night.
