    Grand Funk. One of the best American Rock n Roll bands ever.
    They have been thru a lot of crap that they didn't deserve.

    I am speechless..... they sound just the same as when i was in my 20's and im 63 now. They look cool, healthy, which is rare for hard life rockers. This made my day. But did they get an album together since 1997?

      There has been no new music because the band kicked Mark Farner out decades ago. The GFR touring these days is a scam. No Mark, no GFR.

    so there i was back in 1977 at the high school library..( yes there were things called libraries) shuffling through a shit load of donated albums...i come across this LIVE double album GFR live...so i walk over to the record player ( there were things called record players) plug in my 70s headphones ( since it was a library) and put the vinyl on the table and WHAM!!!!....that live GFR album was recorded in 1970 and never heard of them....so 3 times the librarian comes over to me and taps me on the head because im singing out loud and wonder why all the kids were staring and laughing at me...the librarian told me to come by after class and she gave me that double album set...MY FAVORITE SONG was and still is INSIDE LOOKING OUT..and the live version IS A FUCKING KILLER!!

    @timwebber8630 5 років тому +1

    Had a chance to see GFR around this time when they were playing at the Taste of Colorado in Denver (a far cry from Shea Stadium), hoping to take my son. I wasn't feeling well and did not go to see them, something I still regret today. When I watch this it makes me wish I was back in the early '70's again ("I'm getting closer to my home" - home being the '70's). Mark, Don, & Mel were incredible and were just never as good apart from one another; its such a shame they parted ways. But, as with all things, nothing lasts forever.

  • @rocknrollmonkey8668

    Saw them as a 3-piece when they got back together in '96, then again with the orchestra for the recording of the 'Bosnia' album in '97. They were incredible in '96, but seemed a little worn out by '97. Farner is playing solo in Detroit tonight(7/19/19).

    Actually the Bosnia release was a compilation of GFR California tour dates, while the proceeds supposedly went to the Bosnia relief efforts. Great to see the original members together in 1997 no matter what, even with the addition of a keyboard player to the mix.
