Grandfunk is one of the best bands ever!! Music of today sucks. 60,s 70s 80's best rock bands.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉

Mark Farner...what a leader in this truly American band! They knew how to really jam in all their songs! I miss them from those early days back in the late 60s & 70s

I'm a GFR fan from the 60's n 70's. Mark, Don and Mel breathed life into this band. Don's drums were the heart beat pounding in my chest. Mel's bass moved every muscle in my body and down my spine. Mark was the blood and oxygen and together they all breathed life into the magic that was Grand Funk Railroad. Would be nice to see them all play together and bring the magic that is GFR come to life again.💖🧚‍♂💫

Yes, it would, but one of the bandmates played on Marks good, honest nature and got Mark to agree to give him all the credit for writing "We're An American Band song for himself, (they co-wrote it). It hit #1 and made millions. He left the band with the money. I can't remember which bandmate. It's been 45 years since this happened.

Mark, one the best voices in rock history.

i was blown away by this band in 1970 and here i am in 2022 just as amazed

I was the annoying little sister back then and would drive around with my sister and her husband, then boyfriend, and this was always playing on an, (get ready for this), 8 track player in his car. This was one of their very favourite bands. I didnt appreciate it too much then but I sure do now. Their cover of Locomotion gives it a whole new life. I also remember buying a 45 of We're An American Band and I thought I was so cool because it was bright red. Yes the beginning of fancy Vinyl. LOL LOL My sister passed back in 2010 from breast cancer but right up to her final day she always love Grand Funk. I know she is with me every time I listen or watch these guys.

Those were good times...we went to the Summer Nationals drag races every summer, in Englishtown, N.J! It was the whole weekend camping outside the race track in the fields there,so needless to say it was a huge party with a lot of crazy fun memories...I say this, because Grand Funk was always being played in the background it seemed. Sadly, I never got to see them in concert😢It was a good time to be alive!

Nothing beats the first live album. Raw, pure Mid-American rock with soul. Me and my 2 brothers listened to it on our mono record player every morning to get ready for school in 1970.

They were the greatest band back in my teenage years I still love them and now I'm 70 rock on

What I admired about Mark Farner was that he was one of the very few guitar players worldwide that never had to have his eyes on his fingers and guitar while playing. Mark the extraordinaire guitarist doing his thing. Millions of guitar player's past, present and future have to ALWAYS keep their eyes on the guitar and their fingers while they play. Mark Farner Was Grand Funk Railroad With A Style All His Own.

Jeez! So insanely tight! Locked and loaded! One of the greatest live bands...especially in the 70s! Crazy how good they sound..so overlooked nowadays.

When I was still in HS, I went to Grand Funk Railroad concert in Wilkes-Barre PA. Mark Farner still had the band as a power trio at the time. The opening act was Blood Rock. I think they were from Texas. Never heard of the band ever achieving much success. Of course, GFR was from Michigan. My friend's father was a hot shot doctor in Wilkes-Barre, and he got tickets for us in like the third row. Right down in front. It's still the loudest concert I ever attended. My ears didn't stop ringing for 3 or 4 days afterwards. They played every song from the red album. We all had a really great time.

Paul, if you're out there and, by chance you read this comment, I want to thank you again for treating us to the GFR concert. I've never been so close to a stage as I was at that concert. We all shared the opinion that Mark Farner put on an unforgettable show that night. During the second half of the concert, he took off his t-shirt; he looked like Tarzan playing an electric guitar. Those were some special times. In particular, I remember you doing the 40 yard dash in your high-top football spikes. You still had the fastest time of the day! The coaches were dumbfounded. I hope you kept it up, you would have made a great tight end.

@ Ken Adams -- to your point... "Mark Farner is as real as dirt"... stated his step-father who who helped raise him, (after the death of Mark's dad). What a tremendous compliment!!!

I have met the dude too and He was fucking interested I was playing drums that reinforced the fact GFR is Mark Farner something I already knew!

Wow 😳. First time hearing this band. These are some great Hall of Fame musicians. I'm going to go buy some more of their work. Outstanding live band

Grand Funk Railroad is 'second to none' when it comes to live performing and that includes 'The Who'. The whole bands energy, rhythm, and vocals are remarkable. This concert is amazing!

Todo fue, es y sera Arte Musical en finales 60, todo 70 y comienzos de los 80s . Voz, guitarra, bateria, acompañamientos, creatividad, todo eso requerido con una Potencia Instrumental. No hay Musica sin Arte !!

I'm 65 , now , 12 when they broke out on the radio . I still love them .

Oh hearing those classic Grand Funk Railroad songs sure brings back good memories of high school in the mid 1970s, back when great music came out of Michigan. 👍👍

We grew up on this. Music like this will touch your soul and stimulate your mind. This band was no joke. They played how they felt. And in turn touched so many like me and my brothers. If we could only have played like them. GRAND FUNK RAILROAD LIVES!😊

As a gentleman so eloquently stated in a comment already,Mark Farner is GRAND FUNK RAILROAD,saw them at Pirates World.Unforetable.Alan P.

GFR was a helluva band but didn't get enough recognition for it, I always loved their music😎

Never saw and felt so much energy

Aún cuando los Estados Unidos de Norte América tenían una enorme desventaja frente a los talentosos músicos británicos, dio a luz a uno de los mejores grupos del planeta, Grand Funk Railroad. Con sólo tres integrantes extremadamente talentosos, producían magia en el escenario. Este fue un raro caso en el devenir musical norteamericano. Grand Funk fue el grupo embajador en el mundo del talento estadounidense. Mis respetos. Nunca 3n la historia de la música rock y pop se había escuchado a un bajista tan singular y con un sonido único. Hasta la fecha nadie ha podido reproducir tal sonido. Y qué decir del talentoso y estridente guitarrista y su potente voz. El baterista era de lo mejor de sus tiempos...

Hell yes! Killer energy. Doesn't get much better than this.

Not only the fact that Mark Farner was the hottest thing on stage he was a lead guitar player and sang lead vocals! Do you know how hard that is? He was an insane showman and also a fantastic blues singer/ rock singer!! This group had it all! I miss this !

Chuck ratings are only used By untalented people To think that their argument is right About who is the best band Eyes Don't lie And ears can hear That's what really matters

I've been a serious fan from their start (I started playing because of them) and had the absolute pleasure of setting up backline gear for Mark in Texas in the late 90's and he could not have been kinder and more appreciative of us on the stage crew. R. & R. Hall of fame proves it's obsolescence every year these pioneers in music are neglected. I doubt Mark, Don or Mel bother themselves with the failure of Rolling Stone mag. publishers neglecting them. They know who they are, were and continue to be to us fans out here. Guys, I've got less hair than you but still LOVE playing along with you every time I get the need for real R&R music. Thanks for all these years together.

What a performance of Farner ,the guitar lead is amazing in this song

Saw them in the Garden. NYC. In 74. WOW

Una de las grandes bandas americanas de los 70 los cuatro unos maestros en escena la voz de Mark y Brewer tienen esa potencia que le da al rock n roll un verdadero concierto no hay palabras

A trip down memory lane....great show by the Railroad!

The high-enerigy of GFR;s playing is literally "off the charts". Even when they slow it down with some blues on Heartbreaker the energy doesn't lag. They were the hardest rocking band in the whole music business at their peak which is exactly what is on display here.

Hoy tengo 64 años y aún sigo escuchando ésta banda, una de mis favoritas, excelentes músicos, gran compositor Mark Farner, tenia todos sus discos en vinilo, cuando tenia 13 años los oí por primera vez, el tema fue heartbraker, desde esa vez oír la guitarra de Mark quedé impresionado, saludos desde Santiago de Chile.

Good times..being a Boomer, just turned 64, these were the best days of our lives..listening to these guys..!
