Killer band. Awesome talent. Awesome team.
I saw them open for Johnny Winter back in the day. Hell of show.
I’m sure it was! Lucky you!
“Turn that shit off…” was what I heard as a young teenager listening to this awesome jam.
Three guys doing this jam. Still amazes me to this day.
This is the best live performance I've ever seen. These guys, working with the limitations of musical instruments from the mid 1960's, kicked some major butt in this performance. They left it ALL on the stage. I know they all needed a cigarette and a shower after this!
Facts
I feel like one ever time I listen to it and I don't smoke
I love your reaction!!! This was 1969; they were only 20 & 21 respectively! And they never let their energy drop. They sold out Shea Stadium faster than the Beatles. I saw Mark when he was 68 - he was on fire. I will be seeing him at the end of July, and I expect nothing less than this. He's also a great guy who was severely wronged by the other 2 douche bags in the video. He has also buried a son. If you get the chance to see him live - you HAVE to do IT!. He puts on a show that should embarrass 'hard' bands like Godsmack, Korn, and sorry to say it Alice In Chains-who I love.
Bass player ... sorry can't recall his name was 18, drummer 20 and Mark (guitarist) was 21 ... crazy just how good they all were. I agree they did Mark wrong and should not be allowed to call themselves GFR
Mel as only 18 here going on 28 lol....😄
Hey Donna I have met mark a while back and yes he is a very nice guy and down to earth type Donnie is a prick lol.... Compared to mark 😄👍👍👍👍
Always enjoyed listening to this band. So much talent.
They had a railway going through their hometown of Flint, Michigan by the name of Grand Trunk Western Railroad. That’s how they came up with Grand Funk Railroad. Interesting fact, the genre of “Funk” music didn’t even exist yet.
This performance was recorded in Hershey, PA at the Hershey Community Center by WITF-TV channel 33 (PBS station) in 1969 for their show titled "The Show". There were only a few handfuls of people watching it live.
Great, great band!
Nightwish Army on your 6 following you around This is some badd ass RnR here GFR could kick ass back in the day saw themm live 3 times WOW WOW WOW
Great Funk Railroad!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I grew up with that group. Still cannot fathom why they are not in the rock and roll hall of fame...so robbed
Facts
They are not in the Rock Hall because Their manager , Terry Knight always dissed the press !
perhaps to deepen GFRs mystique ? Terry would blow off press conferences and act like a jerk to
everybody and even took out a 2 page ad in Rolling Stone Magazine giving everyone the middle finger !
Well rolling Stone , MTV and the Rock Hall are inter-twined . And those who run the Rock Hall vowed that
Grand Funk would NEVER be inducted into the Hall. But that is fine . Grand Funk is too Good for the Hall.
They were so young there. Oustanding live performance
Great reaction Sir! Welcome to (real) freakin' rock and roll!
I saw this back in ‘65 and never get tired of seeing it and how people react. Hard to beat.
You must've been a time traveller in '65 coz this was in '69.
@@modeljetjuggernaut4864 You have to cut me a little slack, I’m 78 and the memory isn’t as sharp as it used to be.
This is what you get when you put 3 bad ass musicians on stage
Facts
Oh, yeah! Freakin love this band! Badass funkin rockin goodness!
Those weren't sideburns...they were full blown mutton chops 😉😬...I think I just dated myself 😭😂
😂🤣
yes he looked hot!!!!
I can’t believe I just found you. Awesome channel. Grand Funk was a fav back in the day and I still love them. So great to see someone honing their craft these days. Much luck to you! 🤘🏼
Thanks champ!!
That's a whole lot of funk just to come from three people. These days that's more funk than allowed by law.
Super trio fantastici
Drummer was killing it to
This is a Breakout song for the sixties. Nobody ever played this kind of music in the in this time period. It was unheard of.
Led zeppelin, Hendrix, Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly...
I like how you want to play with the song. Should do some more of that
I appreciate anyone that gets it
Grand Funk Railroad recorded this song by the Animals in 1969. The Animals recorded it first in 1965.
Popeye’s can’t even compete with that 3 piece.
😂🤣😂🤣
all 3 of these guys, Mark Farner, Don Brewer, and Mel Schacher are still performing, too
I had to check the year. 1969 wow!
Great video reaction Devon, keep rockin' steady homie Peace
GFR SOO GREAT 🤘🥰🦾THANK YOU🎉
GFR delivered everytime, Anywhere !! They left it all onstage abd had a rabid Fanbase. I'm still a fan at 74 years young. I saw them twice in '71 in South Florida. AWESOME !!
One of the best jams you gonna find one more just as good for ya Edger and Johnny Winter doing Tobacco Road live the brothers will impress you
Check out my earlier videos
Agree. This one and Tobacco Roads!
Eric Burdon and Chas chandler wrote the song and recorded it in 1966-as The Animals--it's in the disney film--Cruella
Nice reaction
This shit was live🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Smokin'...
You should also check out their 1974 Japan show on UA-cam also. Mark is kick - in - it.
They were only 19!!
They looked like full grown men lol
The bass player was 19, the other two were closer to 21........still just young pups !!
I like your guitar!
Thanks
ILO was originally recorded by The Animals. You might have heard that version.
Kids!
Your reaction is good!
Next time, if you like, check out the videos of the British band Free and the British pub rock band Dr. Feelgood!
No problem
Steve Marriott Kicked Paul Rogers butt! LOL
Awesome performance. GFR should be in the R&R HOF. I'M BAFFLED.
This song needed nothing more than this. Not a thing.
Can you react to Jimi hendrix - foxey lady live in maui 😁
I'll check it out
New sub. Curious if you’re familiar with Jeff Healy ? Would love to see you react to his live performance of “See the Light” Night Music 1988. If you’re not familiar with him , be prepared for a playing style you’ve probably never seen before. 😉
I've done two reactions of jeff check out my earlier videos
So you dug his Mutton chops.
This is R&B The rockers drank from the R&B fountain for sure.
That is why we should appreciate Ted Nugents Black Power tour. Where he acknowledges the debt he and others in his genre owe to Black Muscians who came before. It wasn't until I heard Nugent speak about this that I began to hear it in the music of his and other Rock musicians. There is not one Rock guitarist who is not in awe of the great Black R&B guitarists. Not a one. Clapton Page you name them.
Possibly the greatest live rock & roll performance of all time. Crazy thing, is they played like this every time. And they were road warriors. It's amazing that Mark Farner still has a voice box today and can still talk! Whoever they opened up for, they ALWAYS blew the headlining band off the stage. They did that to Led Zeppelin.
Great band AND song. But I beg to differ with the greatest.
What show is this from? Outstanding!
I agree Grand Funk was a great live band. They were #1 touring band for a while until they started having Humble Pie open for them. HP kicked their butt every time!! Steve Marriott has gone down in history as one of the greatest performers/front men in a rock group. However, "greatest" is always just an opinion. No disrespect intended for GFR...
100%agree imo nobody touched mark
Truth....no fluff there. They blew Zeppelin off the stage when they opened for them.
This has to be the most intense, energetic live performances I've ever seen! I don't know that this could ever have been duplicated .... these guys were all pretty young, and with just the 3 of them, you have a guitar, a base, and drums --- THAT'S it! It's hard to believe that those 3 instruments and the ridiculous, growling, screaming vocals turned out one of the very best live performances I've ever seen. TALK about POWER TRIOS!!
On a side issue: Does anyone younger than 50 even know what 'nickel bags' are??
I've heard the term but no lol
@@Devon_Rismay "nickel" and "dime" bags referred to the size and price of weed. A nickel bag was only $5; a dime bag was $10. I think those terms have been out of use for decades.
@@lxhobson ohhhhhh lmao ive been wondering what all that was for??? now i know!! Dont they sing burlap bag on the studio cut? In England ya know they still call it a 10 bag 10 quid.....so im told!!!!!
Man,I really dig your reactions. Great to see reactions from a Geeetar player. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks!!
One reason Mel's Bass sounded so good he's got a Gibson humbucker pickup in the bridge position of that Fender bass
Cool, that's info I'd never heard before, and I've been listening to this band since I saw them live in 1970, the first rock concert I could convince my mom to let me see. I was 11, and loved absolutely everything about it
@@davebeach2343 never got to see them in the seventies wish I had. I did have a Grand Funk Live on 8 track in 1970 and my sister had all their early albums so whenever I wanted to listen to them I could steal... er... borrow them from her.
Slap Bass was introduced and popular before Marcus Miller came along, starting with the creator Larry Graham, Louis Johnson of the Brothers Johnson was major in introducing the slap Bass technique and taking it to another level….
Oh wow, you must play bass. 🤘🏾
I do play Bass, if ever you want to just learn a little history of Slap Bass, which was initially referred to as Thumping & Plucking, just over the past several years they began referring to it as slap Bass, or Slapping snd Popping. Not asking you to react, or revue anything but in your spare time, listen to Sly and the Family Stone( the Late 60’s) and you will hear the very first inception of the Slap Bass, Being played by Larry Graham, the creator of this style of Bass playing, I suggest the song “Thank you for letting me be myself” although the Bass line is very simple by today’s standards, it was the introduction to Slap Bass, fast forward to the mid to late 70’s and Louis Johnson of the Brothers Johnson took and mastered the slap Bass technique to another Level, I suggest you listen to “Stomp” by the Brothers Johnson’s to get a small sample of him advancing the slap Bass technique, or any of the Brothers Johnson’s many many hits, all before Marcus Miller’s came onto the scene, Marcus got his first recognition writing and playing for Luther Vandross, don’t know if you know who that is, but if you ever hear any of his many hit records, Marcus Miller’s finger prints are all over it, again sorry for this short novel…..,
@@bassblvd3065 you good, I'm always down to learn
Tough as hell to hold that song so tight together through a live performance. Just amazing!
This was great! Man the energy in this band could probably power Chicago for a month! I always thought they wrote this, but I found out tonight it was written by Eric Burdon and The Animals. The only other cover song I've heard by GFR was "Locomotion", which you'd enjoy. I definitely recommend "American Band", the drummer Don Brewer sings it. Grand Funk Railroad was a Freight Train for sure! Thank you brother. 😎
The bassist Mel Schocker(sic) had his amplifier made at a small Michigan Amplifier maker to have the fuzz tone available at the flip of a switch. I believe they were West amplifiers.
yeah they used west
West amp with a big Gibson mudbucker in the jazz bass. hot tubes.
@@jr13227 get you!!!! lol
@@jr13227 apparently initially they were wired wrong to get the sound they did but Mark told him not to correct it! heard him telling story in an interview ...
Try American Band and Some Kind Of Wonderful.
They were called mutton chops BITD. It was the style back then. Of course I was only a year old in 69.
Robin Trower "Too Rolling Stoned" - ua-cam.com/video/Xpu66oLjWmk/v-deo.html
They were all young guys here 18 19 20
NO ONE is prepared for this song !
first time i heard this i was all....WTF was that!!!!!
Gary Moore - Parisienne Walkways - ua-cam.com/video/vkUpfw4Hf3w/v-deo.html
Classic guitarist!!
Great selection! Great job!
Thats a damn good live version
Each of them were so talented, the band played like that all the time. And I saw them back then, and saw them 10 or 12 years later, and I saw them again about 15 years ago. And they were still that freaking good!!

There was slap bass long before Marcus Miller. But it didn't get popular until the 1980's. This was 1969.
Grand Funk Railroad, Ted(the motor city madman)Nugent, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, and the MC-5 were the southeastern Michigan/Detroit wave of rock throughout the 70's. If one wants to include Motown music Detroit definitely should have gotten the rock n roll hall of fame over Cleveland. GFR is from Flint which is 40-50 miles north of Detroit. The band was named after a railroad that runs through Michigan the grand trunk railroad but changed trunk to funk. The bands name is painted on a grand trunk viaduct that has been there since the 70's.
I live in flint and have driven under that viaduct all my life. Grew up listening to these guys rock it out
I realize that this reaction vid is over 2 years old now. (But just in case, right?) Devon, you said that you wish that the bassist had incorporated some slab bass technique but it probably wasn't invented until Marcus Miller came around (or made popular until he came around) But the person credited with popularizing that technique is Larry Graham (from Sly and the Family Stone fame). He did it way back in the 60's and he and countless others far predated Marcus Miller. Furthermore, slap bass had already been going on since the Roaring 20's on upright basses anyway. It was kind of underground and mainly only featured in jazz, rockabilly, etc. rather than pop music. But it was always there!
Gah… sooooooooo damned nasty. I can’t get over this performance!
Facts!
Bro,slap bass started way before Marcus Miller. Larry Graham of Sly and the Family Stone started that style on the song Thank You back in 69. A lot funk bands began using the technique in the 70s. Check out Larry Graham's slapping with his band 'Graham Central Station'.No rock bands were slapping bass back then.You can be funky without slapping the bass.James Brown's bassist wasn't slapping back in the day,he the funkiest band ever,you got Bootsy Collins of Parliament/Funkadelic who didn't slap bass.Slap don't fit with certain songs
If you want more. Check out Grand Funk Railroad, they in spite earning 13 gold and 10 platinum records with record sales exceeding 25 million copies they were and are still hated today by critics and the music industry. They are still hated by music critics and the music industry.
Sideburns? I didn't even notice. Guess I never lost mine or my mustache. LOl
Grand Funk they were it in the day.
. ☮️✌️
🤠🐂🏞️🛩️
I hope you listened to the lyrics. They are very specific and special.
Good Ole Michigan boys putting it down. Cover of a Animals song
Dude, Try Grand Funk " Were an American Band " live in 74 . A cool performance.
And they’re so young here! Guitar and drummer were 21, bassist 18!
You know when even the Microphone is banging.....its a real BANGER OF A SONG!!!
Mark Farner (guitar) was only 21 here...amazing video!!
Grand Funk is in my top 15 bands all time, and thing is every time I see someone react to this tune, soon they start doing some other Grand Funk songs that people requested, and I always send a cherry picked list of suggestions, and know one ever follows up or play any of the ones on my list, Your thumbnail in my feed led to this page so once again I am sharing my list hope your different from the rest, and not ignore this list, I don't care if you react to them or not I can pull them up and listen anytime I want but would like to see your reaction to any of them, mainly Aimless Lady my favorite by them but they all good

VERY good list. Saw them early 71 and they kicked ass. Their live album always brings me back to that golden age of rock. My favorites on your list are Into the Sun and Paranoid.
Try the live” Heartbreaker” if you like this one….

The pride of Flint, Michigan!
Please cover it! Thanks 🙏🏼
Best not listen to this video before you go to bed
Move over James Brown, we have a new ambassador
That drummer is hanging on the skins
Bands of the seventies knew how to end a song!
Hello Devon I'm new on your channel and enjoyed your reaction 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😍
Oh wow thanks! 😊
Love it every time!
Do your job with this much energy, youed either get promoted in 30 seconds or fired for being too good.
😂🤣
Poor vocal mic
Love your reaction BANGER ❤️👍
Thanks
Amazing band
The bass player is only 18 years old the other two not even older than 21. You're looking at a few kids that are just outside of being teenagers. And it's the greatest purest , most genuine,, rawest,most soulful, most energetic,rock performance in the history of the world. And that includes Led Zeppelin and the others.
There was only 2 bands that sold out Shea Stadium in NYC. One was the Beatles and the other was Grand Funk Railroad... and GFR sold out 2 weeks faster than the Beatles did! Then when GFR played there, they had to bring engineers in to check the seating areas as it looked like it all would collapse from the fans' enthusiasm
I can tell you this is from my highschool error, this right here is a awesome tone, these guys were great and well known. But I can tell you this was a hard pill for parents of the time lol ! This song right here is what convinced my parents these guys couldn't play music 😂
