- Grand Funk Railroad - I'm Your Captain (Live 1971)
This video was shown at Shea Stadium the entire last year before Shea closed. This July 9th 1971 concert still holds the ticket sales record, breaking the record set by The Beatles.
March 2024. I’m reaching the end of my life. This gives me comfort and solace. Anyone listen?
☮️💜
I think most of us are in that zone. 😃👍 to me just enjoy this era music, the grandkids , and my dog .
Yea,I'm ready to go,seen and done enough . Im 64 and all in all,lts been a good run.
I’m 35 years old and have just learned to play this song. I am a rhythm player and lead singer in a new band I’ve just put together. Have been playing out solo the last few years apart from my drummer from time to time and I’ve been playing mostly country. This is a change up for me. I’m ready to feel something new. I love the nostalgia of this video and the vibe.
@@MikeDavis-kb3vo I can’t imagine being ready to go at 64. But hey we all ride our own ride. My bass player is older than you and he’s amped to be getting back on stage. My best friend is 72 another old head rock and roller. He played for a band called Motley before motley crew was ever heard of. They opened for UFO back in the day. He’s still a wild one. I hope to have the drive he does at his age. Who knows, in this world I may be ready to go way before your age even. God bless you man. Keep listening to the good stuff.
I was 19 and was there!!! They blew everybody away!!! 72 now still rocking to Grand Funk Railroad!!!
Awesome ❤
Lucky you
So Awesome! I was 3 years old when this happened. I love this song!
2024 people still listen. This music will never die. It’s forever !!!!!❤️♾️♾️♾️
This music Will wake up to. Your past , your memories improves!❤️
Still,and I'm only 66 years old.
right here, so much great music from the good ol days
They touring in my city Carmel Indiana in 2024
72 yrs old, 2024, listening like it was live again ❤🙏
We saw them at Memphis (The Colliseum) and goodness did they put on a good show.
I'm all ears
Cause it is spirit don't die
@deanford1795 that's for sure 💯💥
yep
I try to remind everyone how lucky we were to grow up with all the great music, we were extraordinarily blessed!
you got that right, you sure got that right
❤ 1002
Wish I could go back 😔 I have no idea what world we're in anymore 😮
I am one of the few souls who are free, who and what or where you are from or going, or been, what god you pray to or don,t pray to, or if you are gay, bi, or what, I don,t care, but me I am hated, and lied on, by the same trash that has you so confused. Thank God this world is dying, the end has already started, I am so happy to see all this hatred, and lies, and murder, and anything else you can think of, you see people like me, we do nothing, so yea we are easy to hate., and point a finger at, so let them continue to march to their doom, and take this wonderful country with them
My first concert was yes when I was 11 my second concert was Led Zeppelin it's 12 and a half I was so lucky I've older brothers and sisters who brought me along🎉😂
I fell in love with this song when I was 17. I'm 67 now and love it just as much as I did FIFTY years ago!!
Same, I was 16 ! (I'm 66 feb 25th ! )
Me too 66 last June. Still enjoy the entire album
I read stories on here that some came back home, fr the Vietnam war, listening to this song. What an amazing thought. God bless all our Veterans. ❤️
Exactly🎸
Me too
Let’s see who’s still listening to this song in 2024.
71YO and turn the DENON way up loud,,BASS THUMP thru the old Mark 5's..cheers
ME
It was my first concert. Humble Pie opened. Yeah, it was that cool...
Yes i am in 2024. I don't think we will ever have the Great Music and musicians we had in this era.
As a visiting time-traveler from 2124, I can affirm that we still listen to the wild shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner, the bong-rattling bass of Mel Schacher, and of course, the competent drumwork of Don Brewer. In fact, this particular song is regularly played in our most important religious ceremonies and ritualistic human sacrifices.
Best generations ever im so glad i grew up in the '60s & '70s im 67 years young its now 2024 and im still enjoying it.
😁I agree w/U 100%! Best 🥰generation ever! "Baby*Boomers"! ♫♪ 😁Rock & Roll will never die & IF it does, R & R will continue to Rock On to ___________? 😁I'm 65 yrs young!! When I was in 6th Grade/Grammar School, you must have been in 8th? I dunno about this "New Millenium"? Never ever did I have to be concerned about ? coming into my school & ending my life.As of late, can't even walk down the streets w/? jumping out of a ?stolen? vehicle & ripping you off, harm you, etc. 😁"Our-Story", (It's not just "HIS" story.), seems to have a way of repeating itself. Yikes! 😁I promise myself NOT to freak out & constanly look B4 I leap. I'm always aware of my surroundings. ☮😁
Me too!
Same 67. Still listening
Yep! 65 and still listening! Never stop, great times and great memories!
@user-ii8xh6qy7t We were probably separated at birth ... (!) Such great music we had ... as you lived your years; in school and the first jobs, driving, traveling, just living ... what a time, what music! (Saw Mark and band at the Seattle Coliseum in '71; he stood atop a phalanx of amps and rocked ...)
I miss the 70s music so much it hurts, what a time to be alive, teens today have no idea.
Worse than having “no idea”… they think what they have is better .🤦🏻♂️
Согласен
Agreed, give me free tickets to a festival with all 70s bands playing, my enlarged heart, diabetes, sleep apnea high blood pressure and if I died on the last strum or the guitar, I would have live and died the ultimate fantasy
@Sam Odio Now they were a real power trio.
Real music by actual human beings played completely live with no bs. Hm. Concept.
Still listening in 2024
🎉 08 28 2024 🙏🏾
I had just been back from Vietnam, this was the first show I saw. Out fuckin' standing
Thanks for your service to our COUNTRY !!
Yes BROTHER, yes....truth.
Hey Man, Bless you for serving in southeast Asia
Welcome Home
Thank You for Your Service 🇺🇸
Welcome home!!!
I’m 72 and this song really brings me back to the good old days. Never get tired of hearing it. Loud of course!
NO ONE WILL EVER COME CLOSE TO BEATING OUR GENERATIONS MUSIC. WE HAD THE BEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD'S HISTORY AND ALWAYS WILL.
You *_do know_* jack! 😉
Listen to Bela Fleck
Dream on, hippie...
@jack...60's & 70's were the best ever!
Damn straight we did. The 70's were the best!
Now it’s 2024, anyone still listening?
Fuck yeah
Me. Nearly 66 in NW Alaska.
F yeah
oh yeah have my whole life. and I am 61.
Oh yeah!
Im African American and grew up teenager during time and my dad played this music and I still love it. Yes I see all kinds of people in the audience. I remember when it was like that during Woodstock. My dad still have Woodstock concert Album. I learned about all kinds of music and people. That's how I raised my son. Grandfunk Railroad one of my favorite next to Led Zepplin
Yes, Grand Funk and Zep, great taste!
Same here, born in 1964, i was only 7 in 1971. 58 y/o now. Still listening to 60's & 70's amazing bands. My son as well listened to all my music. He's 35 & still enjoys these bands! ☮️👍❣️🎶🙂
Yepper. We all were alright with each other back then. WTH happened......😢
@@terywetherlow7970 We need to get back to those times.
II'm African American, I have my Grand Funk Railroad Album to this day!.
August 2024.The music is still quite relevant.This is a band with only 3 members is Amazing !!!
Anyone else from 2020 listening and loving this masterpiece ?
Reminds me of now

Of course!
Seventy-one and still loving my Grand Funk Railroad. Teaching my grandchildren what REAL music is like.
Seventy
I was 16 in 1971 and I was at this concert! The Shea Stadium was literally shaking. Best concert I’ve ever attended.
15 in 1970
i was 9 liked it then and like it now
I was 9 in 1971 sadly wasn't in to music that much yet. I missed a shit ton of great bands and music
@josephramos8291 We're the same age ... I saw them at the Coliseum in Seattle. Bloodrock opened. Both were fantastic. Mark on top of a huge stack of speakers at one point during the night. Unforgettable...
June 2024 Still listening and still trusting in my Lord Jesus
Agree. Thank God Mark turned to our Lord and Jesus Christ!❤
2024 check in! I just discovered how great these guys were live
Cleveland rocks!
I’m 75 and this is still the best music we had in the 60s & 70s not the junk they have now.
at 75, I respond in the affirmative. Looking back on a time of great music, discovery, when boys went to the boys bathroom and the girls went to the girls bathroom. When we rocked.
@@jggrimmthis song is 54 years old and I still listening it
Remember what our parents thought about our music?
Rock ‘n’ roll was the best ❣️
In my opinion .🥰
Old fools like you said the same thing about this song when it first came out too. People just need to chill tf out and instead of all the negativity and hate just let people enjoy what they want.
It’s so lame to hate on music
This was definitely one of the BEST!!
"I'm Your Captain" always takes me back to the amazing time of the '70s! What a great time to becoming of age. Amazing Band, Amazing Song, Amazing Time!
Still digging this song in 2023.
And yet they complain about Boomers😂
GREATEST ERA,WHAT A TIME TO GROW UP IN,THE WAY THE COUNTRY IS NOW,LOOKING BACK WITH FOND MEMORIES, MOST FRIENDS I WAS CLOSE TOO HAVE ALREADY PASSED,SO MANY GREAT CONCERTS AT BIG SHEA,THE GARDEN,THE PEIR,IF I REMEMBER AROUND 45ST,POLADIUM ON 14th, nice looking back,but it's all smooth jazz for me. Lol
I hear you...me too, still digging it, lucky to be a teen in the 70's
Same here! We were lucky!
You know it!
67yrs on 🌏. Born in Detroit. Still appreciating the sounds of our generation. Still 🙏 for 🌏 Peace.
❤❤❤
Now it’s 2023, anyone still listening?
Hell yes!!!
Yep
December 7 2023 still listening my friend
Almost Every Day. Great music is great Music!!!❤
Rite hear
It's June 2024 and I'm 70 and still listening
I am 66, I was blessed to live that era, talented musicians, no marketing, no technology helping to get you in tone, real live music. Who does that now?
I'm so proud of this.
I'm glad I was a part of it in my life.
This is music!!! Music today is shit!!!
Here I am, holed up on account of a pandemic and jobless until who knows when. I am here, with the doors to my now silent home office closed and with lights down low. I am treating myself to a 12-year-old scotch and really enjoying this trip back in time to my younger days!!! Suddenly I realize...Life's not too bad. I'll get through this!!
That's because you and I are from a tougher generation that was blessed with great music my friend
GRAND FUNK , LO MEJOR, BELLA ÉPOCA NUESTRA.
I'm with you boss.
I am sorry for you situation but our generation got through a lot of shit. We will get through this. Hang in there brother. Keep the tunes playing and the scotch flowing.
Yes..We Will!!
One of the greatest groups of all time an very under rated
68 years young and Still rocking Grand Funk
💯💓💃
1st concert I ever went to in 1969 at the state fair colosseum in Indy. My ears rang for 3 days. Can't believe these guys aren't in the Rock and role hall of fame.
Yeah, same here. Can't believe that either.
The RRH of shame is a joke anymore!! The people bought all the records, and went to the concerts, not the brain dead stuffed suits at the RRH of shame!!
One of the greatest American rock bands ever
And a CRIME they aren't in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame! (Which makes the R&R hall of fame a fraud!)
@@MikeM275 I didn't know that. What a shame! Just think, this year the R&RHoF nom'd Dolly Parton, she declined it and they still reinstated the nomination.
@@stone9.098 I love Dolly (My nephew owns Hippo Records in Nashville and did her last album a few years ago), but Dolly has no business in the R&R HOF. And she has the dignity to know it. And I mean, they got half a dozen rappers in the Hall, and not Grand Funk? Half a dozen or more country music artists that never played Rock n roll in their lives? Johnny Cash? Chet Atkins? Love them both, do not belong in a rock n roll hall of fame. Yet, Grand Funk, no? smh. We think it's because at the end of their shows the last couple of years they were together Mark (which had become a born again Christian) always ended the shows mentioning God in some way or another. Fastest way to get black balled in acting or rock n roll circles it seems.
@@MikeM275 It was awesome to see Steve Miller rip into them a few years back.
@@MikeM275 they dont know what good is are theyed put them in thr "*HALL OF FAME*" 😎 🇺🇸
2024- still listening! To the days of the greatest music this world will ever know. It makes being older worth it because we were blessed.
Saw them at Madison Square Garden same year with new girlfriend. Well here are still together in 2022; still listening to the same great music. It never gets old, even if we are😌
Nice one!
Ya I hear you all the way up in
Canada.
@@nickg2431 hey man jajsjaja
Nice..
I hear ya!😖
Time to get these guys into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame already
ECHO THAT
Rock Hall of Fame in Cleveland SUCKs,and I'm from Akron, by ommiting GFR they're not about Rock -n-Roll.
HOF is corrupt. They're too busy kissing BA.
Unreal live version of a rock masterpiece. Farner's vocals just soared. The energy coming off that stage was just incredible!
Hell yes . They always played with energy and joy.
It was! Real Rock and Roll!
@@georgeburge7136 Love their music. Such raw talent!
@@LoneLee2022 It was let it rip time!
Mark Farner was the man back then.
Critics hated them but every one of their albums went platinum. The fans and I loved 'em!
Honestly, who gives a fuck what critics think? No one ever stayed away from a movie, book or record because critics didn't like it. Critics are nothing more than pretentious assholes.
The critics hate loud jam bands that play 10 or 20 minute jams.. power trios. That's why they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. People who are musically educated can see that Grank Funk is massive talent.
Well, the argument usually made is that the _early_ songs were somewhat simplistic. But, the whole thing is, you had to be there. I was at the show in Detroit when they opened for Zeppelin. Honestly, if Grand Funk hadn't stopped playing no one would have cared. But, the set had to be stopped "due to a contractual agreement with Led Zeppelin." Don't get me wrong , Zep was tremendous. But, those three dudes had the place on fire and nobody was ready to stop rockin'. When the announcement was made you could just hear the crowd sigh due to a serious case of funkus interruptus.
Great band!
The critics were idiots with a poor taste in music.
One drummer, one bassist, one guitar= SOUNDS MUCH BETTER THAN ANY 2000's BAND.
Those guys had souls in the 70's...now they are empty shells.
These groups could actually play and sing, now it’s all auto tuned and computer music
The Warning Band does about as good.
This era of music will never be replicated, so appreciative to have experienced it 🎸🥁🎸
Eddie Van Halen once said that GFR was one of the only live performers who fully met his expectations.
GFR....Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.... 😎
Eddie also said when asked about how it felt to be the greatest lead guitarist alive........"I don't know...why don't you ask Alex Lifeson" ......agreed!
@@ryerob741 So what does Rush has to do with Eddie and GFR?
@@gerardoa9179 wow...what's the issue here? I love Grand Funk I love Eddie Van halen I love Rush....just using a little humor with the famous Eddie quotes.....are you offended by something I pointed out here?
@@ryerob741 No, just curious. I Like too Rush, VH and GFR
2024 ..whos still listening???
8.1 million and still going up.
I’m with ya 2024
I was 12 in '71.......I remember this tune like it was yesterday!!
Still going going forever until U-235 coming.
Me!
March 2024, still watching. I was 12 when this song was aired.
I'm here 60 years, this music will never die...let the music play
Michigan boys,great band should be in the hall of fame
I TOTALLY agree with you 👍🏾👍🏾
I agree 100%
Oh hell yes!👍✌
How can GFR not already be in The Hall?
basil ervin just think the beastie boys are in and some rappers but not them
The hall is stupid
I went there and couldn’t believe what I saw
I miss growing up in the 70's and listening to all the awesome music!
I'd do anything to go back to the 70's..................
Grew up 2 miles from Alpine Valley in Wisconsin in the 70's & 80's.. took it for granted having live music every weekend..
Off the charts ;)

America was a wonderful place to live in 1971.
Not for Vietnam Vets, lots of civil unrest etc…great music though!
1970
Vietnam/ Southeast Asia was not a great time at all.
@@alicewoodard2373 that's not America
Not for LGBT people. They could expect to be treated poorly up to and including being killed and/or imprisoned by sanctimonious religious conservatives. I have lived in Thailand and am impressed how their religious conservatives (Buddhists & Muslims) live and let live.
Also, I think many Black people would disagree with your claim.
Lastly, for those men who wore long hair or men/women who dressed in the fashions popular at that time, they could also expect stress that might include violence from again, conservatives mostly in the South and Mid-West. Don't sugarcoat the past. Most countries are divided to some degree between backward-looking conservatives and forward-looking progressives/liberals.
The majority of Americans did not support the Revolutionary War.
Every once in a while, I'll be walking through the halls at work and this song just comes out of me. I'm 65 now and still believe in the power of music to bring those that are willing to listen to talk with each other. To a certain extent it may be all we have left now.
👍👍👍
Yep, I'm the same age as you. "65" & I insist, this year, better NOT be Jive!
And suddenly almost 50 years has been passed...in a blink...
It's scary isn't it?
Yes..it is! Lol
Yes ❤️
No kidding! Glad I am not the only one that feels this way!
@@michaelthomas366 not as scary as anyone who thinks this stood out in the era these hacks infiltrated
1 guitar, 1 bass and drums...oh yeah and a whole lotta talent!
U got it baby,lol!😄🤙
Power trio!!
GFR rated the #1 live rock group of all time.
There are many power trios...Rush, Triumph, Cream.... Cheap trick.
@@Dahstin #1 Live Rock Group of all time. “Rolling Stone Magazine”. None of the groups you mentioned would ever sell out Shea Stadium not even Cream.
I remember my mom banging on the wall to lower the volume because I was playing GFR too loud ,well that was a long time ago and now that I'm in my Twilight years , I find myself alone at my ranch ,but you what ,I still have my friends Mark, Don and Mel here to keep me company ,now I play them ever louder .this is from an old Rocker with a young Heart .

Stay Forever Young 👍
She must have known my mother
Ha ! Same with my parents. I am in the philippines (66years young) coz of a small pension, and big hopes of young Love(r), but have decided of late to be happy alone. Thank God for youtube.
Knock, knock, knock, Dana, turn it down!
Keep on rocking!
I'm 73 and how I miss those days and the great music. Grand Funk is one of the greatest groups of all time. I can remember smoking and listening to them. How I miss that. I'm not sure which I miss most. The smoking or Grand Funk.
Anybody notice that both blacks and whites were in the audience, jammin together. Now that's some grand funk.
Daniel Holt AMEN !
In those days ...
just like hip hop concerts now,HUGE mixture of all races,although MUCH more peaceful back then at these concerts
Assume you are American then lol.... In the UK people wouldn't notice
Black or white, we all bleed red. Shine on friends.
This takes me back to the good old days! Just watching this video gave me goosebumps, and I ain't kidding either. It was a time when alotta bands didn't need all that Hi-Tech shit to be a genuine kickass outfit! Thanks for the great tunes, Grand Funk Railroad!
God, I miss those days. Did you ever get to see them live? They were amazing. Turned my daughter and granddaughter on to them. Daughter is GenX; granddaughter is a Millennial;, both love GFR.
They do kick ass. I saw them live when I was in college in O-town; they played the old Orlando Sports Stadium on East Highway 50/Colonial Drive. It was awesome. Hung out with them after the show. Saw them again years later at Phillies, this cool pub/bar in West Palm Beach. I had so much fun.We stayed and talked to the band for hours. I believe the drummer is from this area, not sure. Grand Funk, amazing band!
I'm 52 I told my best friend I'm in love with 1971 Mark Farner LOL
@@kerrimiller3397 All the girl's loved Mark , my sisters included.
❤ 😅
There was a petition going around several years ago (i signed several times ) to get Grand Funk into the Rock N Roll HOF. What Happened??!!! Don't you guys know they "We Are An American Band"!! THESE GUYS WERE AWESOME!!
Send it to meeeeee!
That's ridiculous. Madonna not grand funk.i grew up hearing them on Detroit radio.
that place sucks.........................................
The cost is like 15K to get in. Its not an honor, its a sham.
Yeah.....the critics of old thought very little of GFR and I believe the same mentality exists at the RNRHOF. But nobody ever filled SHEA STADIUM to capacity for an opportunity to listen to a critic.
Now it's 2024! And we old school rock & rollers are still listening!
One of the best live trio acts of all time. Mark, Don, and Mel.
Listening to them with my 8 track.
Yes they were
Yes!
After my dad passed away we listened to his playlist while we waited for the funeral home. I'll always appreciate this song
Thanks for sharing.
That's pretty cool .
That’s why I’m here. I was reading through my dad’s 1972 senior memory book and he listed them as he favorite band. He passed in January 2022. Missing him tonight!

GFR SHOULD BE IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!! I've been listening to them for 50 years!! What a great band
goes to show the mentality of the missing. GFR doesn't need the tag - they are so far beyond that crap. let the unknowners find their own way some day. That thread will always remain infinite ... only a matter of how real it is felt - Thank the Universe for the material world July 9, 1971, eh?
I agree
I'm glad they ain't
They are the HOF
Detroit
thye hall hof fame is a joke they have to put crap like rap and madonna and other junk in thats not music
One of the first songs I ever learned on bass guitar. Etched my memory for ever. I'm 68 now and still jammed to this..
My dad took me to this very concert for my thirteenth birthday. I'll never forget how the bleachers bounced and shook to the beats of the music.
I will add that it is so impressive that only 3 people can make such magnificent music!

My brother was 74 and he was still listening to this song weeks ago
Yes, I'm an old dude. And I was there for that concert. To say the stadium was rocking is an understatement. People were stamping their feet so loudly, I thought the seats were going to collapse.
You're not just whistlin Dixie!! My ears still hurt
2023 still listening to this musical GEM!
I was at this concert. Sitting in the midsection. Funk was so loud, that we had to yell into each other’s ears to hear each other. Humble Pie came on first. Wow! Back-up singer Don Brewer’s solo plant’s him down as easily one of the greatest Rock Drummers of all time.
I envy you! Getting to see 2 great bands in concert! Was Frampton still in Humble Pie at that point?
@@danielbesser4602 Absolutely
@@superorangeish More importantly, the great Steve Marriott was in Humble Pie.
Brewer is a total shitbag that stole the GFR TM from Mark.
@@toffanful Word!
This couldn't have been better. For the moment, the time, the place and the players. It's a rare convergence of perfection.
Man to hear Grand Funk, Humble Pie, Led Zeppelin and the Doors in one concert night, I know then that I'll be in Rock & Roll Heaven!
I fellow Pie man I see
Good concert
I REMEMBER ONE NIGHT MANY MANY YRS AGO, MY BROTHER HAD A PARTY AT OUR HOUSE WITH A BUNCH OF HIS FRIENDS CAME OVER ( AROUND 1974) AND I FOUND IN THE LOWER LIVING ROOM WHERE THE PARTY WAS AT IN THE FLOOR AN 8 TRACK OF HUMBLE PIE ROCKING THE FILMORE AND THE BOOM BOX WHICH HAD AN 8 TRACK TAPE PLAYER IN IT AND I PUT THE TAPE IN AND HEARD A SONG OR TWO AND HEARD I DONT NEED NO DOCTOR AND WAS A CHANGED GIRL, FOR ME IT WAS BLACK LEATHER PANTS, RAZOR THIN TANK TOPS, BIG BELTS WITH BIG BELT BUCKLES AND SO ON, MY PARENTS???? NOT VERY HAPPY IN THE DIRECTION I WAS LEANING BUT IT WAS ONLY A PHASE AND BY THE TIME I WENT TO COLLEGE I WAS INTO OTHER THINGS THAT I WILL NOT GET INTO LOL.
I assume you must know that Humble Pie opened for GF at Shea. People talk about how GF sold so many tickets. I bet the Pie had a lot to do with it also.
@@theanswerisinthebackofyourhead hey girl I saw humble pie in Detroit in the seventies three times high School years not just I Don't need no Doctor don't forget 30 days in the hole.

It’s 2024 and yeah, I’m still listening. Greatest voice in rock history, and what a band…
This band seriously deserves a second look by all of the critics. One of the truly great American songs, IMHO.
2024 and this song still brings back great memories
For any younger people that just happen to be on this video.......
You See that stadium moving up and down❓
Now that's the way WE USED TO ROCK OUT TO A CONCERT👍👊🤘✌️

it's all politics man
They turned political, so kinda a joke now...but they shoulda been inducted long long ago!!
Because they have to be PC, putting shit like rappers, country, and God only knows this pop culture crap. Way too many deserving bands/people true rockers left out. 🖕you hall.
Every generation says it............but those were the real days of rock and roll and concerts......
This band was key in putting Arena-Rock on the map !!! Listen to the crowd roar !!!
I was there.......the capture on film is minuscule. We were behind the first base dugout and just a little higher than those bleacher you saw rocking from the folks jumping on them in rhythm. It looked like the stadium had lungs and was breathing quickly. Also, when it was all over, the subway cars were JAMMED with concert goers......harmony amongst all and in awe of the performance.

Merry Christmas to you & yours! 🤠
Anyone listening in 2020? Anyone hear that new Deep Purple, "man alive" song? it's fantastic, some of their best work and the video is great, it's no " perfect stranger video" but still good, new album in august, they're still going strong!!!
Absolutely! I’m your captain! The funk goes on.
Hells 2 the YES!
Oh yeah!
6,000,000,000 BP for me.
yes indeed.... classic and still great today!
1971...I was 19. This still rocks me in 2024 when I am 72!
This song takes me back to Nam, where the bar bands used to crank it out for us GIs.
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸

Thank you for your service!
Viet Nam era Navy vet. Once, in the Phillipines, during one of our frequent deployments, I saw a band that covered Lynyrd Skynrd, doing "Free Bird". It was like listening to Lynrd Skynrd in the studio. BAD ASS. I tip my hat to that band, they did honor to Lynrd Skynrd.
Ah the 70’s best 10 yrs of my life! Glad I lived in those times, forever missed and unparalleled forever!
Agreed! ;)
wish i could go back today, great time to live! i hate the 21st. century!
I got 10 in the 70’s and 80’s, awesome decades. Late 60’s was cool as well.
Yep!
Me TOO!!! Can't be replaced for sure. Nothing but the greatest times and memories ever🥴
These 3 guys from Flint, MI broke the Beatles record for selling out Shea more quickly than they did. Grand Funk never got the critical acclaim that they should have, but "the people" sure liked them!
The Beatles tickets were "mail in tickets, GFR were go to the store and buy tickets there, that's why. But it doesn't matter anyway..
"The People"..
The critics are prejudice, don’t let what those people impact your opinion and thoughts on them
I'm 63 this gives me goosebumps every time!!!!!🎸🎸🎸
could be something else ...I'd see a doctor
“73”,,,,, gotcha by 10 years.
I was 17 when this concert took place at Shea stadium in New York..I lived in New York at that time and i believe i read in the Daily News on either the front cover or back cover " Grand Funk sells out Shea Stadium faster then the Beatles had"..Grand Funk mania was insane around this time.Grand Funk was one of the early power bands that had 3 musicians in it.One lead guutar/rythem one drummer and one bass..I listen to their music till this day.I watch this video almost every night because it takes me back to my youth and the culture of that era..From 1964- 1974 we had the greatest music ever.Bands were everywhere unlike today where rock bands have exited the scene.I know people always talk of there era as best but the culture of the 60's and early 70's was mind blowing.The Hippies,Flower power,Viet Nam,bell bottoms and tye dye shirts were just " groovy"..Had many friends and yet we never talked politics,we never talked about hating America..We gave police respect and we talked music or sports..Only 2 genders back then and many teens joined the military me as one of them..Great great band from the greatest era of alltime.
And ,we were one, all races ,creeds,colors, didn't matter, just diggin the music
I saw them many times but the best was in 1969 at Public Hall in Cleveland, they opened for Led Zeppelin. 😎✌❤🎶
@@Voyageur314 wow,that's amazing! I'm jealous..
@JerryWebb
Hellz yeah 🤘
Y'all had way more common sense and character back then. You were fortunate to have grown up during that time. I love classic rock...yes, the music today is unparalleled to then.
A REAL American rock & roll band.. they knew how to play their own instruments and create variations with different grooves and syncopations and moods and arrangements on the fly... VERY few bands today could even attempt that
I was born in late 70’s. But I wish I grew up in this era. I always thought the 80’s was the best time to grow up but I think the 70’s have em beat.
Same
I'm listening in August of 2024. I love it! ❤
Almost 50 years ago, still revelant. Still the best music
I Absolutely
@ I AGREE
