Grand Funk Railroad performing "Inside Looking Out" live from 1969. This clip was shot at "The Show" WITF-TV in Hershey, Pa. November 1969. Mark & Don were 20 & Mel 18 years old. This clip is timeless. I've had hundreds of personal messages from people of 4 generations worldwide that are in awe of this powerful performance. (Folks from 11 to 83 years of age.) I've been told it's early "METAL", to the original "GRUNGE", to the real begining of "PUNK", to the first "GARAGE BAND", to pure "TRIBAL ROCK", to "INDUSTIAL STRENGTH ROCK." One thing's for sure, it is powerful, passionate, singular, & unique. Mark, Don, & Mel changed music forever with 10 minute Power Songs like this one. This is the ULTIMATE POWER TRIO. Grand Funk Railroad was truly a "Performance Vehicle". What you heard on the albums could be duplicated 100% on their live performances. Many would say it's impossible for a 3 piece band to do this live. See the impossible. Once you start watching it, it's hard not to finish it. This is the most popular GFRxR video on the Web.

Im sitting here lonely like a broken man.
I serve my time doin the best I can.
Walls and bars they surround me.
But, I dont want no sympathy.
No baby, no baby,
All I need is some tender lovin.
To keep me sane in this burning oven.
And, when my time is up, youll be my reefer.
Life gets worse on gods green earth.
Be my reefer, got to keep smokin that thing.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I said now baby ... baby ..., let me smoke it ... smoke it ...
Makes me feel good ... feel good, yes, I feel good ... ahhhhh ...
Yes, I feel alright ... feel alright ..., yes, I feel alright ... feel alright ...
Yes, I feel alright ... ahhhhh ...
Ohhhhh ...
Ice cold water is runnin through my veins.
They try and drag me back to work again.
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands.
I work all day making up NICKEL (burlap) bags.
The oats theyre feeding me are driving me wild.
I feel unhappy like a new born child.
Now, when my time is up, you wait and see.
These walls and bars wont keep that stuff from me.
No, no, baby,
Wont keep that stuff from me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I need you right now mama.
I need you right now baby.
Right by my side, honey.
All night long.
Make me feel alright ...
Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, all ... alright.
You better come on up and get down with me.
Ill make you feel real good, just you wait and see.
Make me feel alright ..., yes, I feel alright ...
Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, alright.

I was in Vietnam in 1970, when we could, we’d blast GFR a loud as we could, it was our motivation…loved these guys. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I saw these guys back in 1971 in Lake Charles LA it was an awesome show. I will never forget it.
Wow in Nam. That must have been terrible. I just read that in America this band was called dumb. I always thought this was, together with CCR a typical Nam-band. I don't get it.
I wasn't there, but they were big great band
Great drummer
Motivation to do what?
66 years young. I remember when this was called Heavy Rock ! One of the Best three piece Bands Ever!
-amazing ... !-
🤘
I’m a 65 yr old man every time I hear grand funk it brings so many memories
Doesn't it? I'm 65 and am listening to them right now.
on 1969 I was 17 and fell in love with this band. now I am 65 years old black woman still love it
63 Sister ❤️. Raised in the burbs....lol
I was 18yeas.
Rock 🎸 on sister
What does you being black play into this?
You got it girl.
Best 3 piece band there ever. I'm 71 and Grand Funk was the band all us Navy guys listened to.
i'm 68 and still love it
I'm 65 years old. My first concert was Grand Funk Railroad. I was just senior in high school. One of the best three-man bands ever. Still listening to them today like they said this song was recorded loud so play it Loud. Keep on rocking
Los primeros forajidos del rock pesado
Los tres. Terribles del. Del. Rock. Pesado.....
Hell ya ! Got to play this at a high volume.This song rocks so hard.
Dude, you lucked out! This is one of the best bands of all time. Three guys making this sound as raw as it gets!
-#cheers-- !- 🔥
Hands down the most underrated band from their generation. And beyond!!
Who cares about rock hall of fame?
@@enriquegonzalez2110 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is the most overrated bullshit ever.
What makes you believe they're underrated? Did you travel the globe taking a survey from every citizen of the world? Please explain.
@@enriquegonzalez2110 I Plumate at thee with one of my low tire pressure indicators!!!

My favourite GFR number. I’m blown back in time, to the days where I was a handsome Young man with a lot of future ahead of me. Thank’s for RUclips.
Exactly, all of their music is great but this performance is most impressive.
These guys should be in the R&R Hall of fame !incredibly underrated American rock and roll band shame on you unforgiveable act God bless you Mark and the boys thank you for all the great memories YOU ARE IN MY R&R Hall of fame thats all that counts stay safe
Seen them twice in concert live in Charlotte N.C. they were the best, thru the 60s had 8-tracks of them. Want see them in the R&R Hall of fame because R&R hall of fame is all politics, liberals, not like the liberals of the 60s but nowadys!!
Do you know the eventual story behind the breakup of GFRR? It is one of the most disgusting betrayals in the history of RnR. Mark Farner IS GFRR - the other 2 could've easily been replaced (and should have!!!!!) . Farner is the real talent behind their success and always will be.
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has its head up its ass half the time, not inducting bands that should have been inducted decades ago, and inducting bands that aren't even rock and roll, lately. Bullshit
Hall of fame is a fucking joke
@@larryritch9912 don’t blame the the libs. I’ve been trying to get Styx in the hall. 4 triple platinum records in a row. WTF. Mark Don and Mel should b in the hall
I thank God I grew in the error of great music .The 60s and 70s was the greatest time of my life , I wish I could turn back the hands of time .God bless you Grand Funk for your music that still brings me tremendous listening pleasure . God bless you guys .
Error? Are you being facetious? But, yeah, this was an era of great music no doubt.
He means “era”
@@Gatvol59 He put God and error in the same sentence. Terry's probably right, because his God thinks exactly like he does.
Definitely
You are so f*cking right. I just turned 65 today and have been jamming to GFR for 50+ years already and always hoped for a reunion tour but I know that'll never happen before my time is up. But I still have all the vinyl. 😅
Ahh the days when a 9 minute song actually got air play... Mark, Don & Mel A power trio for the ages. 👍
One of the best bands of all time! I never get tired of listening to them.
Chris hai ragione ti ammiro ottimo
Que grupos los de antes. Saludos a todos desde Tijuana México
Cannot believe they’re not in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame
Have you listened to their song, "Creepin"?
✌
@@andiharp9275 They were the the highest grossing band on tour at least one year. Saw them in Mobile 1973, REO Speedwagon opened. Always fun.
This is one of their baddest songs. They were a power trio, they were great.
Grand Funk Railroad they were our party music. We have no music in these days... Sad but true. I remember going to a concert, it was called festival seating where you sat on the floor and paid 5 bucks a ticket!!!! A lot of Great music back then in the late 60's to the 70's. I sure miss those days... Now look where we are 😷 every day!!!! Our world is falling apart... Sad again.
No autotune, no overdubs, no vocal effects...just straight 100% work!!!
Watch and observe, children. They PLAY their instruments and sing with competence. They know their instruments and have spent a lot of time practicing and learning their skill. No Autotune. No computerization doing it for them. This is something called talent. Talent was a skill from decades ago before Autotune, before computerization, before the record industry picked young people to become stars based on visual appeal and how far a person would go with publicity stunts to create shock value. These talented musicians of the past had creativity, commitment, flair, skill, and put in a lot of time writing and polishing their songs. Many of them read what is called sheet music. Sheet music is a kind of language for music using what is called notes. Sheet music and notes kind of equate to learning how to write language and use what is called grammar. Grammar are the rules and guidelines of language. Music has a grammar to it, as well. In both writing language and music, creativity may be used to create magnificent songs, such as the one on this video. However, you will have to learn what is called discipline. Discipline requires something called work. Discipline and work will give you the means to learn how to actually sing and play instruments on your own without computerized assistance. Once you become good with singing and playing instruments, something called your self-esteem will improve. You will develop a sense of what is called accomplishment, like these young lads in the video.
@@pcpete911 l detect an artist here .
@Jeff Watson my friend you must have put down your sticks to pick up your laptop.
They were incredible in there live shows, they blew away the bands that were on a list of other bands playing on a live show.
@@pcpete911 preach on my brotha
this aint no samples or bullshit just the real deal
I hired in General Motors in 1976 in Flint Mich. This local band and this song in particular was ours we felt,as we toiled the assembly line at 60 cars per hour. Thank you Grand Funk. You should be in the RR Hall of Fame!!!
The red record, I listened to it over and over. This was no bubblegum pop! An American band: the highest honor I could give them🇺🇸
The best rock n roll ever. Without digital devices, no Autotune.
Every scream is right-on key, and Mark's sexy authority over his instruments is King!!! What a man!!!
Mel's hotter than hot! Watch him stroke that bass! They were just as hot in person 💖💕🥰🥰🎉🎉🎉🎉
this is real Rock and Roll none like it anymore
Listen to some Joe Bonnamassa. I guarantee he will restore your faith in real Rock & Roll.
What a fantastic round sound from 3 men
it only takes 3 top musicians for a hit that is still cracy after 50 years .i am 65 jears old!!!!!!!
Most memorable band ever.....brings back fond memories of my youth...
Yeah I had grand funk we're an American band on yellow vinyl in the 70s when I was a teenager
Saw them live twice in Pittsburgh. They’re one of the best American bands that ever were.
My all time favorite band. I'm nearly 60 and I've been listening to their music since I was about 8 years old. My brother gave me an 8 track tape of their music and I was hooked. Best 3 piece band ever.
😅
Certainly one of them.
Im 60yo, been listening to groups from early 70's like Led Zepp, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep etc.
But never a day gone by that i would miss playing at least a song from GFR thru my whole life.
My first concert. They brought the house down with this song.
Mine too! Early 70's
I agree 💯 seen them 73

Pure music and absolute feeling with the audience. There is hardly anything like that anymore.
Nothing at all. Young people today would look at this and laugh. They were raised with shit music

My favorite band back in the day and my favorite song
This is real music....energy, mesmerizing, delirious!!
Your comment is amazingly concise. Three words that capture the essence of Grand Funk. THANK YOU!
Thank you Mark Curtis!!
Used to cruise the streets blasting
Grand Funk Railroad with my friends.
Happy memories.💯
Saw Grand Funk Six times, Rock and Roll at its finest!!!M.O'B
...done 51 years ago..and it's still Great !!!
Along with The Band, the most under-rated Rock Band in History!
Who underrated the Band?
The Bands' 1st and second are good. But The Band are OVERrated to a fault!
How do you know they're underrated?
@@gogoyubari366 They sold out Shea Stadium in a matter of hours when it took the Beatles weeks. That's "underrated!
@@gogoyubari366 Is that you, Frank? TOHS Class of 1973.
I am 64 white male and I own every music they put out and I saved my money and traveled to go see them everywhere I could.. I still listen to their music today...
Rythmn, Soulful Talent- a great performance; all analog - I enjoy real!
Me too, I discovered them at 13, with the " On time " album. it was 1975 and me and my 12 year old brother ate it up. and then I ran out and got the red album and I was a lifelong fan. seen them a couple times and seen their own bands a few times. I think Marks band is better than don and Mels band.
I met Mark after a show and got a picture with him. Although my favorite album is " American band " , written , Composed and sung and played by Don Brewer. Dons as good as Mark. He does half the songs and albums.
I love " Born to die " a mish-mash of groove, soul and metal , Brillant.
Grand funk music used to make me crazy from morning to evening non stop that was in the 70s.Today i am still feeling same listening to the same music 50yrs down the line.
Killer Track from my High-School years.
I am a 65 year old black woman and my brother and I used to lock ourselves in our room with Grand Funk. I love them!!
I am a 62 year old white Ukranian man and my sister and I used to lock ourselves in our room with Grand Funk. I love them!!: ))))))))))
Tess Wonderful luve u 4 that
I am a 70 year old Texan and we would go into our trip room and crank it up to this.
Music: The magic that breaks down boundaries! I feel you guys
That is awesome!
Best Grand Funk song ever! Great beat to it.
The RAW Energy is over the top and AMAZING!! These guys were so under-rated! True Gem
I can't tell you how many times I heard this in my Teenage years. This was when they were AWESOME.
Was my favorite song, listen to it non-stop in the 70s.
Now THAT is how you jam.
It's the difference between a good book, and a great book.
It's called substance.
This song is actually genius, it just keeps getting better.
It does
You said it! I listen to it almost every day. Never fails to put me in a good mood!
"Grand Funk Live", together with "Deep Purple in Rock", were my favourite records when i was 13 years old. Those records changed my life from german and british POP listener, to a heavy rock listener and musician.
Way to go 🤘🏻
Mark with that Messenger! I saw them 2 years later - my first rock concert. Mel will forever be my favorite bass play and Don is equally amazing. What a band!
Frickin mark farner and the funk, they ruled big time. Timeless. Love you brother
I will tell you all this. I bought them red album that has this song on it, "Inside Looking Out," I saw them twice in concert, 1971 & 1972. Then a few decades later I heard Mark Farner had become a born again Christian and was coming to town with a new band so me, my wife and a couple friends went and saw him at a club, I was about 10' away Mark sounded as good as ever, I yelled out inside looking out and he played it, goosebumps ran up and down my arms and the hairs stood up on my arms and neck. I believe he's still touring.
Saw him 2 years ago in NH, great show!
AT LEAST HE HAS NOT LOWWERED HIMSELF 2 PLAYING THAT DEVIL GARBADGE..PROPS 2 HIMM!!!
He needs to tour New York City
Was in Dania Beach Florida 2 months ago, awesome!!!DC
Jon, The first time I heard this song was on a bootleg Korean vinyl album. Have not heard anything comparable since!
What a band! Been enjoying GFR since the 60s. What a ride!
Saw them in the old Hemisphere Arena...i think Chicago opened for them. I think. Early '70's...
Another band black murdas from det opened for them check them out
I don't even know what to say after watching this. This band is incredible. Unbelievable.
Hard to believe they were this tight, and shit went so sideways later, they created a monster that couldn't be controlled
One of the greatest rock and roll bands ever
A dog on bass player I'll tell you sure influence me over the years and I'm 68 years old come on
Damn that FUCKING BASS!!!! Hell yes!
and he's 18
WOW, What strong memories! Man, I love those guys still. And Mark is still pumping out the music today. Great Band!
GREATEST song ever recorded love the bass
I copied Mels bass lines and my other 2 brothers copied Marks guitar and Dons drumming. We were a big hit locally and pulled in quite the crowds. Always got requests for this song. Played the first live album front to back. That was the best times of my young life back then.
9 minutes of awesome jamming. Big sound and spot on. Rock and roll attack!
3 guys!!
I will never tire of this song!
If I were a song, this would be me
Talented energetic and passionate musicians. But don’t forget the songwriting. It’s a totally supreme package.
Im a old man now still enjoying GFR,,, I turned 12 69, & my 1st cous ( God Rest his Soul) turned me on to his GFR on his used Sansui Stereo he got for his birthday!! Never forget him...passed in 2019, only 64...
Grand Funk, one of the best rock and roll bands to ever exist. Just plain clean rock and roll.
Loved Grand Funk in the late 60's and 70's! They had so many great hits!
Damn, these guys were tight. Farner was so talented
One of the best bands from late 60,s and early 70,s for sure they support to be in the rock and roll hall of fame.el Paso Texas
He still is.
Not WAS talented, still is. He's 72 now I saw him when he was SIXTY SEVEN at the Flying Monkey in Plymouth, NH. He was phenomenal!!! He can still kick the snot out of younger bands like Muse, Puddle of Mud, 311, just about any of these wimpy, oh soooo put upon bands. One ray of hope in this world, I've been watching some hip hop and rap artists' reaction to this video. NOT ONE OF THEM dislikes it. They are allllll groovin' it. So maybe their next Gen will be hip to some great music.
The "Mark Don and Mel" album saved me from all the crap that they were playing on the radio back then.
@@simonharwar8083 Like Disco? Disco Sucks I remember the shirts!
Such happy memories with this totally underrated talented rock band. Just 3 guys doing it all!!!
glad the internet exists so that all the younger folks get to hear this stuff too
Ho yeahhhhh ... in France too ... you are a perfect mind about that ..... the perfect trio with ZZ Top for all time .... god bless you .... Eric from France ( Normandy )
Hell ya
Fk the young ones.

I'm not sure they understand it.
Thank you! Incredible! The way drums and bass backup Mark Farner on his killer Harmonica is outrageous! 👏
Gawd I thought he was so sexy ❤❤❤
Quien como ellos ahora en un mundo de tecnología digital? Cables y cuerdas!!cueros y platillos!!! Cabello largo y aire en los pulmones!! Eso es música que retumba en el universo!!!❤
De acuerdo brother pura actividad 😅
Por seguro!
Outstanding,!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grand Funk was a KILLER KILLER band! OMG people this was freakin LIVE!
GFR is so severely underrated and I never could understand why. Nobody today could lay a finger on these Michigan boys!
usernametaken 56 dosent get any better than this!
Grew up on this music with 4 brothers in the house playing our own stuff and the 8 tracks and records going all the time. 60 miles north of Flint, GFR nation!
Being a Child of the 60's brought me here. Whenever I've had it with todays so-called crappy Music ( And that's a lot ) I come here to listen to real Music done by Talented Musicians and it ears love it too.
Grand Funk , eterno.
Ain't nothing like grand funk railroad!!
How did I live 52 years on this planet and never hear this? Incredible performance!!!
They are only 19 and 21 , and a masking taped 200$ guitar and a toy Jazzmaster drum set.
Well I just heard Tool sober 3 months ago for the time been hearing to funk since 71
🗣️I was born in 1968 and once I heard their jamming 🎶 down the road, I was hooked 🪝 👈🏼
It's amazing how much sound ,rythum they could generate ! Grew up their listening to all the groups of that time !!!
I always felt that Grand Funk really didn't get the recognition they deserved. Very under appreciated.
+Dellani Oakes I can't believe they aren't in the so called rock and roll hof. I use lower case because I don't respect their judgement.
When you see some of the folks in the hof, it makes you wonder, doesn't it?
+Dellani Oakes They did not sell there soul for fame, look at all the so called musicians today and try and find one that does not put one hand over there eye in some photo, or give a hand sign like a triangle or the thumb and index finger joined with three up=666. God Bless you Dellani, look up Vrillex on u-tube you will see what I mean.
Kevin Christiansen Thanks, Kevin. I will.
+Dellani Oakes Grand Funk was hated by critics in their early days. Their music sounds like they were recorded live in a garage... but it still sounds timeless now.
My older brother use to listen this song when I was kid he had the grand funk railroad live album and use to jam this song I'm 60 one of most underrated bands ever
My first album I purchased was GRAND FUNK RAILROAD "Live" 1971. What a power house start to my collection.
The most incredibly underrated American rock and roll band to ever walk the earth. I'm 46 and grew up listening to GFR on my dad's vinyl collection. I pity the millennial generation.
yea I here ya dude. I was raised on classic rock as well. im 43 and our day was just as bad as today's music......we had to put up with vanilla ice and the new kids on the block lol

At 62 i still loved this song...
I saw them.in concert at the Hollywood sportatorium, Florida. They were so far out man. Love and miss the Era. Hippie then and now!
I graduated from the Shool of Hard Knocks,and the Grey Bar Hotel many times,so I feel this song very much!
this is real music no fake sound effects only 3 instruments &3 very talented guys Rock on!!
Tt c
Music today is garbage, they can't even play instruments.
@@mckessa17 Except for Jon Batiste who won all the awards at the Grammys. He can play almost any instrument and has his own band that he directs.
4 instruments counting the harmonica
@@mckessa17 it’s harder to find for sure but if you look there are some you awesome rock bands killing it right now still in their early 20s. “Joyous wolf” “dirty honey”
66 años y aún me emociona oír a este grupo y más ver sus videos qué en mi juventud se prohibieron
The live version of this is awesome
Sheesh! To be so young and so talented! Why are they not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
one of the greatest 'riffs' of all time..
One of the best early bands ever....hands....feet....arms ....legs...down....!!!!!!!!
garage rock at its very best...mark farner...don brewer
He is the best vocalist there was and is. Period.
SOY VALENTIN LARA DE TOLUCA MÉXICO, CUANDO ME PRESTARON ESTE DISCO TENÍA 13 AÑOS, QUEDE IMPRESIONADO CON LA BRUTALIDAD DE ESTE TRIO, LARGA VIDA AL GRAND FUNK
I first so them live in I believe in(1973)at the freedom Hall Louisville KY 😆👍😂😁 wow,,, Mark ‼️ makes the group!!!!!
I'm now 68 yrs old,,, still love there 😃 music 🎵🎶🎵 I am nosey how old are they ( anybody know???????‼️🎶🎵😃😃😂😁
El grupo más ninguneado del mundo.
Siendo que eran lo maximo
El más ruidoso de la época.
This band always knew how to let the music breath so we really feel it! Loved them since the mid 70s.
My older sister played GFR when I heard it for the first time. Surprised me, she had never showed interest in the kind of hard rock I love. Thank you Dave and Connie Flickinger for my introduction to Grand Funk. R.I.P. both of you.
Oh hell yes!!
Saw Grand Funk when I was real young. At the time it was fantastically perfect!
Excellent musicians! I have always loved their music! 💗💗
I never even heard this song back in the day. I discovered it right here on You Tube, It's
one of my all time favorites. Mark Farner was so damn talented!!!!
IS talented, girl, IS. He's only 72 and he's still kickin' it. Just between you and me, I'm sure he got his fair share of tail. I'd have done him!!!!
A great song originally written and performed by the Animals.
First time I heard it I got HOOKED. I couldn't get this outta my head. They also have this other masterpiece 'Dues' so be sure to check it out if you haven't and trust me, it's EVERYTHING
@@Cuntstantine They are 2 of my favorite GFR tunes also . For 45 years .
I've never seen anybody as good in concert, amazing!!!
Great musicians, such soulful music. I listened to this band my whole life and never realized that it was only 3 people. Wow.
Some parts of high school days you just cannot forget!
It really can't get any or much better than this I tell ya
No sir it can't
One of the absolute best,most talented bands
to ever get together and play...they blew other
bands away..very high level musicians would
just say WOW and they too would respect and
enjoy the massive talent and creativity of these
guys...the band that loudly and proudly and so
very well proclaimed,"We're an American Band!"
And they had the true pure talent and raw energy
to prove it again and again...thanks for posting
Love this band ❣️ TOP 💓
Great song, great band! Man, they are feeling it and I love it♡
Bad ass jam!!!!! Related to time in the pen.... then closer to home
