WOW! What great vocals and guitar playing. What a great band! Mark's songs are timeless. Thank you for posting. Made my heart yearn for those good old days! Peace, Sal 💪🏻🎸
Mark Farner is Grand Funk Railroad. His vocals, his guitar work and the music. Don and Mel black balled Mark and today their version of GFR is nothing more than a "Copy Band" with the name. I bought "On Time" when I was in High School and have been a fan since. I own their entire catalog either on album or 8 track (which I still have). GFR was a "Kick Ass" soulful rock trio back in the day. Their concert were sell outs and phenomenal. ( If you can find their double set live album pick it up. It will make you a believer. You'll thank me for it.)
Soy colombiano oigo Y siento en mis venas a grand funk desde 6 años de edad y hoy tengo 63 años con su musica asia mis tareas de escuela no podia faltar su albun Clous tho home Lo mejor de ellos Y la plenitud de mak farner
Mark Farner can't sing and he's a sub par guitar player. The only reason he was black balled was because of his greed for 50% of the money. Mel and Don are a lot better Grand Funk Railroad!
Clean and just great. His voice is the same and better. .. Guitar!!;❤ Mark Farner was more than merely a numerical third or later 25 % of the original GFR... I listened to them when I was a teenager...party time! I must say though, I miss that driving bass of Mel Schacher and Don Brewer drums and vocals. But this will do just fine!!
Met mark farner while working at a theatre back in 1991 or ‘92. Super nice guy! He played his acoustic guitar and sang “closer to my home” for a small group of actors/ musicians. I was star struck listening to him sing and watching him play. Extraordinary!!
Mr.Farner is and always was the BALLS. Life long fan .Did heartbreaker back In HS a band called Crossroads from West Roxbury (Boston) back in the 70s. And now I do bad time also as part of my set. Can't very well do many alone. Kept rockin thanks for the video
En 1970 tenía 12 años, soy de Chile y Grand Funk fué el primer grupo de hard rock que me enganchó, debe ser por eso y por la cantidad de temas hermosos, que para mí es el mejor " power trío de grupo rock, su música es un vehículo para volver a mi pasado, así tal cual
Mark, Mel & Don WERE Grand Funk Railroad.... They WERE a Group Man..!! Mark is Mark and he is incredible, but without each other, they are not GFR. Mel & Don try to pretend and perform without Mark (Grand Fraud Railroad) but that doesn't mean Mark IS GFR...!! Mark solo is NOT GFR, and Mark knows that very well... All the GFR fans want, and surely deserve, a reunion of GFR. I believe that Mark has forgiven Mel & Don and himself, but perhaps Mel & Don still have not forgiven Mark or themselves. Together they made incredible Rock-n-Roll.
Siempre fui un fanatico , digo fanatico por que fan no me cuadra .... desde que aparecio GFR en el mundo del Rock con " we are American Band " Rock'nroll soul, Fostoping Music y Dearbrecker me volvi adicto al Grand Funk !! Mark Fender siempre me parecio y lo era el mejor vocalista de Rock'roll de la epoca... dandole crédito a Ian Gilan de the purple y a Robert Plant deLed Zeppelin por supuesto... pero Era Grand Funk quien aun mas me inpiraba a oirlos y disfrutar de su buena musica. 👍✌✌✌✌🎸🎸🎸 GRAND FUNK RAIROLD !! ✌
Muy buena experiencia ver y oír este vídeo. Le di play porque anuncia al Grand Funk Railroad, mi banda favorita en los 70; y aunque sentí cierta decepción al ver que no era el Grand Funk, lo dejé correr al oír los grandes éxitos de la banda, después de todo eran la voz y guitarra que fueron el alma del Grand Funk. Pero además, al oír dos o tres rolas del artista que no conocía, me puse a investigar y descubrí con agrado que eran de su álbum en solitario Just Another Injustice que me encantaron, tanto así que me las repetí dos o tres veces. Definitivamente Mark Farner fue el alma del Grand Funk, pero su carrera en solitario también es brillante.
Me and buddies drove hours to see Grand Funk Railroad in Buffalo, New York... but when we arrived, there was a sign on the door saying the show had been canceled. It was a real bummer... especially since the opening act was an up and coming band called... Led Zeppelin!
I don't know if you'll see this. In 1969, Grand Funk came to Cleveland, Ohio warming up for Led Zeppelin. I love Led Zeppelin, but GFR gave them a run for the money. In other words, GFR was amazing amazing and energetic! I was so lucky to see both bands together when I was 18 years old!
@ralphsguitar I did see your post. That's about the same time as I went to the show that was canceled. My memory may be playing tricks on me, and flipped the order of the bands playing. But I know I went to see Grand Funk Railroad...and later learned the other act was an unfamiliar-to-me group called Led Zeppelin.
On that (almost) tour Grand Funk blew LED Zeppelin off the stage. LED Zeppelin refused to play with Grand Funk after that. There is an interview with Farner about it on YT if you can find it.
Farner got to be one of the best blues rock artists out there, vocals are piercing, bluesy and on point, songs are damn good and catchy, this is the kind of rock n' roll party I'd be in. And that lookwise, Farner could easily be one of those lead actors of action movies in the '80s with that mullet. '80s Mel Gibson-esque action movies. 😂 Oh, one more, that bass player really killed it, backboning the groove really well. Damn good.
I bought closer to home, the red album, grand funk live, the cave man album forgot the name of that one, this was starting in 1969, I had been playing guitar since around 1964, but Mark Farner was my single biggest influence. I still don’t know what strange guitar he played, I think it was metal. From marks lead playing I learned the 1970 version of shreadding, hammer on pull off, and much more.
Mark Farner IS the rightful carrier of the Grand Funk Railroad name. He wrote 95% of the Grand Funk songs ... including 'We're An American Band'. Don Brewer came up with the drum intro but that's it.
Again, Mark Farner, the nicest guy in the world, had a very unusual rock/ Blues. Vocals, he was and is one of the Gerard front msn ever. I saw Grand Funk at the ampliyheatdr in Chicago. IT WAS PACKED. I STILL THINK THE ORIGINZL 3 ARE STILL THE BEST GFR Mark was a greaf frontman, I saw him with his long hair down to his sphincter . What terry night did to those fine srtists makes me sick, and there was a lot of it going around, the eagles, I can’t remember all of them, QUEEN they come to me as I go a,long, terry night had their gear possessed the night of a gig, it was all the album sales, oh, Bee Gees, memories wow, it’s so different now, a band noe can get a 49 track hi fi dugutzl mixer with matching … I forgot, anyway original 3 were the best, yeah I just heard mark playing his Dunlop cry baby, which is all I. Had, in the 90s I started messing with modelers, mainly fir the fx, yo day I’ve got a line 6 helix a pair of line 6 DT 50 guitar amps and in the center a Bugera V 55 which is kind of like a Fender delux reverb clone. So I use a wet dry wer rig, most guys who . Oh yeah, on of my favorite guitar players DON FELDER of the eagles, they went through several artists, but like mark farner, the eagles would not have had their great sound with out Don, I kinda went through yhe same thung, politics, can destroy a friendship and because Don wasn’t a wacked out liberal, it blew the group up in their ofime of 1977, firtumztky they czmd tigdthdf again but everybody thstd madden it sukk tell yiu shfdn that super young passion gets crowded over bt family marriage, THET never seen ru get that ba m
I can’t tell is that a carvin super strat, , I know you like those Parker flys, I think this perticular rig sounds great tons of punch. Too bad you didn’t start with this
Yes I agree Mark Farner had an incredible gift, a smooth tenor voice, that because I tried to sing most of their songs, I was bumping up on my range, it’s funny this is 88, I don’t see any big pedal board, from the 60s I used a tube amp of some type I had a 64 fender black face dusk showman with JBL D130s. The damn things about fender amps of the 50s, 60s, and 70s was no master volume or volume attenuator, so to get any sustain

How annoying, why does UA-cam have to step on everyone's videos with flashing ad strips on the side or bottom of videos. Terrible distraction. Can't enjoy the video, 2 minutes of that crap was enough.
@@kgbcorvette WTF that’s the hair style f the 80s you can’t blame him, in 69 his hair was more beautiful than most chicks coming right down to his ass . It seemed like all the long hairs of the 60s and 70s got it cut in the 80s and they were all just trying to find their new look.
I agree. I’ve been a huge GFR fan my whole life. In the early part of their career they were pretty heavy. This is hard to stomach especially the keys.

I'm sorry but I have to agree with everything you say!! Saw GFR in 72' with opener Freddie King, in Rochester NY , I was knocked out, but not hurt!
Grand Fraud Railtoads now!
Well said Leif! Mark Farner is absolutely Grand Funk Railroad! Same about John Fogerty (CCR) too, i.e. John Fogerty is Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Mark Farner can't sing and he's a sub par guitar player. The only reason he was black balled was because of his greed for 50% of the money. Mel and Don are a lot better Grand Funk Railroad!
Always one of the best rock and rollers.
Mark must have been BORN with a guitar in his hands for him to be as good as he is! 😢😮😢😮
私は兄が持ってきたシングル孤独の叫びを聴いて何コレ❓と聴いたのが初めてでした。小学五年生の時かな。それ以来GFRの虜になりました。残念ながら伝説の後楽園のコンサートはいけませんでしたが、81年の武道館のコンサートを観ることができ、感動して帰ってきたことが唯一マークファーナと同じ時間を共有出来たことが懐かしく思います。現在65歳GFRよ永遠に‼️ありがとう‼️❤

Mark Farner jak zwykle w dobrej w dobrej formie. Zawsze bardzo go ceniłem za Grand Funk. Brawo.
One of the greatest bands of all time. Too bad they will never get back together.
Don and Mel "Black Balled" Mark. Damn shame. Mark Farner is Grand Funk.
This UA-cam Channel should not be using the GFR reference unless they use it as Mark Farner Formerly of Grand Funk Railroad.

Too bad there’s no band credits on the crawl at the end.

it was 1989!
The only thing worse than a mullet are the people that just have to point it out. Loser
that isn't really a real mullet------
He used to have pretty cool hair back in the day. He couldn’t come up with something better than what he has here. It’s pretty lame
Biggest Band in S E Asia in the 70s.
I watched a vid of the other band and it was SAD
he wa born in 1948...this concert was in 1989. I don't think Mr. Farner was 70.
41

That’s definatly different Marks Christian tunes are. Nice. I wonder if Don and Mel think of the old days.
This is a Peavey guitar ?? impact model ??? 1987
I like and have great respect for Mr. Mark Farner, but my beloved sound of GFR is their early 70ies Triosound, sorry!!!
Прекрасная прекрасная прекрасная
Wavy Gravy presenting! That doesn’t look like the original lineup; don’t see Don Brewer or Mel Schacher.
It's not Grand Funk.It's Mark Farner and company as they were introduced as.He is the voice of Grand Funk.Accept no substitutes.
Mark Farner is Grand Funk. Except no substitutes. Don and Mel are a "Copy Band".
That’s Right
What's the location of the show?
Give it up for the BASE Player
The bassist is dressed for a wedding or lounge band🤔🤣🤣
He is a great musician!
