This is a Bad Guitar Jam love your reviews Airplay Beats! You two are discovering my Generations Music! Grand Funk Ruled in the 70's and early 80's Another Band from My Home State of Michigan
Wow. Never thought I see someone react to this. I love this song. The studio version is super cool, as well. It sounds very unlike a lot of their earlier stuff. Thank you.
"Underrated"...ONLY BY those who never heard them!! They were as Famous as ANY band during this era of music. Still famous to my generation ❤ CFRR is KILLER music.
@@mr.snicker-doodles7081 Yes they should Zeppelin you have to be careful not to put as an opening with a band like Grand Funk Railroad. And for what I hear they made sure it didn't happen again to them!
That was a great performance! Don Brewer on drums singing! When he went to the rise during the solo sections just the precision and his fills, so good. They would get into a grove and just stay in it forever on some of those older songs. I saw them 3 times back in the day at The Forum. The first time the opening act was Black Sabbath. I was maybe one or two years too young because I missed seeing Jimi Hendrix during the late 60's.
I hope you guys keep going down this rabbit hole, them have soooo many great songs, start at the beginning of their career, those songs are my favorite 👍🏻🥰🎵
I couldn’t agree more. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a complete joke when bands like Grand Funk, Bad Company and Boston are not even on their radar!
I remember and loved this GFR song. Knowing the song I loved this live version But, it does sound a little distorted and hard to get the rhythm. Listen to the LP. 👍 (Jodi/Child of the 60s) ✌
great choice funky all the way! More please! I grew up with these guys songs in the 70's and love watching your reaction to the best most underated band of this era
Not sure if you noticed at the end of the song the stage hand guy bringing out the double snare drums and setting them up. Those are for the lead singer Mark Farner. You have heard him as lead vocalist, seen him play lead guitar, you know he wrote nearly all their songs, he played keyboards on many songs which you have not seen yet, you have seen him play the harmonica...now you can see him play drums on Black Brass. ruclips.net/video/nE8QqLi0t0Q/видео.html...absolutely amazing! This is Mark on keyboards on Foot Stompin Music ruclips.net/video/kUqS4O9nxv0/видео.html ....he plays lead guitar, lead vocals, he wrote it and plays the organ and all at a very high level...amazing talent!
Rundgren influence very evident on this. Love these guys. There is another song with four letters they would do which featured Brewer's solo. A must to see and hear.
The studio version doesn't have the echo effect on the guitar, but it's pretty bad-ass and adds an edge to the song. Great footage, how about those outfits?
Brewer put a hurting on those drums. Like you said, he is a bad man. I wouldn't call it heavy metal. Or funk. It's just Grand Funk rock and roll. Y'all would like their song Sins a Good Man's Brother. It's got a hard edge to it. I think it's from the Closer To Home album.
That’s our “hometown boys”! Still see Mark (singer) around from time to time performing in/around town (& toured w/Ringo Starr’s all-star band. Other two were w/Bob Seger for some time & are touring as GFR without Mark. ……..really too bad.
One of my favorite bands growing up, Mark Farner was a huge influence on this budding guitarist. And yes, Don Brewer is/was a bad man: incredible drummer, but he led a coup against Farner for the GFR name / rights (after they had all been screwed over by their manager).
Oh, I forgot you did that one a few months ago. This whole concert is great. “Footstompin’ Music” has long been one of my favorite concert openers. Along with ZZ Top opening concerts with “Thunderbird”.
I have this album and am a fan of the band, but this was their turning point for me. Feels like trying to be more popular. Great performance. I like Please Me, Destitute and Losin', Mr. Pretty Boy and Little Johnny Hooker off this one.
Great performance though lacking the superior fidelity of the studio and Caught in the Act live albums. "Destitute and Losin'" from this year (1974) is a winner.
Hey Guys who are the guys in the drawing with the drawing of earth behind them? It looks like Rare Earth but I guess I don't get the corelation? I know both these groups and played with Ray Monette, THE late great Bob Babbitt from Rare Earth as well as with "MY GUY" Mel Schacher. Why didn't I make it big with a few of my friends??? Not sure. Timing and the amount of talent in Detroit in the 60s and 70s would boggle your mind. I think the only reason Grand Funk isn't remembered or known well enough is that they were night and day from LIVE to their Albums. YOU COULD NOT TOUCH these guys live. It didn't carry over on albums but they were great and deserve to he in the HOF!!! IF WEEZER or RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE are in the HOF, then the HOF Has ruined the HOF, as we once knew it.
They're not called Grand Funk for nothing as they always brought the Funk whenever they performed. While drummer Don Brewer was lead vocal on this song that just gave Mark Farner more time to demonstrate his front man prowess. Skipping across the stage and always putting on a show for the crowd.
We were so fortunate in the 70s we had so much great music
Well put!
Nobody brought more energy to the stage than these guys. Mark farner was a dynamo!
Never heard this it was hard!
@callmesnake1 So LUCKY to have grown up in this era of GREAT MUSIC ❤
#💯 Agree✌🏼
Yup
Another great band from Michigan. Love Mark Farner's voice. ❤❤
WABX Detroit Grit 🇺🇸🏁
Better than Don Brewer?
It's very rare these days to see great vocalists, instrumentalists, and performers all at once like these guys. They were a powerhouse on stage.
These boys had a Funky On Their Back, and it had a hold. Flint Michigan Fumk Rock Drumming & Bass.
"Foot Stompin' Music" is a terrific song. That whole album is terrific 😊
Sooooooo good!
I’ll say it again! How are they NOT in the Rock’N Roll Hall of Fame!?!
They were “my” band in 1970-73!
Peace

Another Band from My Home State of Michigan
Such a fantastic live band with so much energy and great musicianship. Love your reactions to them.
Wow. Never thought I see someone react to this. I love this song. The studio version is super cool, as well. It sounds very unlike a lot of their earlier stuff.
Thank you.
My older cousin got me into this band and this was one of the first albums I bought when I was 11 thanks for the trip Rock on guys
These guys are so underrated
WHAT!??? They were the biggest band in the world until Zeppelin showed up!!
@@vrvaughn totally...they were HUGEEEE

The energy they exert!!! The drummer! Never a pause😅
Strait up pure rock These guys always killed it live.
I hope you guys keep going down this rabbit hole, them have soooo many great songs, start at the beginning of their career, those songs are my favorite 👍🏻🥰🎵
Bringin the funk today. I have loved them since I was a little kid.
I swear. I just don't understand why they aren't in the Rock and roll Hall
here in Ohio we refer to it as the Rock n Roll Hall of Shame because its a political place that thinks Madonna is rock n roll.
I couldn’t agree more. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a complete joke when bands like Grand Funk, Bad Company and Boston are not even on their radar!
@@UglyDoug304 all the while they consider Dolly Parton rock n roll. sad ain't it?
@@michaelfried3123 Thin Lizzy, Foreigner, Kansas, Foghat, The Guess Who, The Black Crowes and the list goes on!
I agree 🎸
One of GFR’s great songs, and unfortunately, one of their last great songs. An absolute crime they’re not in the RR HOF.
" He just threw net in the water and scooped me up" rotflmaf 🤣🤣🤣
Mark,Don and Mel. Need i say more, my brother got me their first album still have it. ✌️
Grew up in the 70s such great music rock and motown was music at its finest
I remember and loved this GFR song. Knowing the song I loved this live version
But, it does sound a little distorted and hard to get the rhythm. Listen to the LP. 👍 (Jodi/Child of the 60s) ✌
Good concert
One badass band that is hated by the R&RHOF and the more the fans demand they be inducted the more they resist.
When Grand Funk broke up The drummer Don Brewer went on and played a number of years with Bob Seger Silver Bullet Band
I remember sitting on my roof with my little record player jammin at the age of 11 , 1971 listening to these guys funkin around 😳🤔😉😀
There great in everything they do singing and playing and play live
The great one's always make it sound and look so easy.
La.you’re right, a hard act to to follow. A simply great band to see live. ✌️🔥
That drummer is my spirit animal!
Don Brwer is such a monster on drums you can forgive those sleeves.
great choice funky all the way! More please! I grew up with these guys songs in the 70's and love watching your reaction to the best most underated band of this era
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is Mark on keyboards on Foot Stompin Music ruclips.net/video/kUqS4O9nxv0/видео.html ....he plays lead guitar, lead vocals, he wrote it and plays the organ and all at a very high level...amazing talent!
Lol😂 Chi “he just threw the net in the water and scooped me up” !!!!
Rundgren influence very evident on this. Love these guys. There is another song with four letters they would do which featured Brewer's solo. A must to see and hear.
Loved the keys,the drums and the driving bass line. Wish I was there back then.🎶😎
That’s a badass jam for sure! So good!
Wow
never heard this one before. it's awesome 🙂
Energy for days.
Just ridiculous how good this is.
Love your no nonsense, get right to it reactions.
Foot Stompin Music Live from same concert. Epic way to start a concet
Grand Funk Railroad "Time Machine"...Nuff Said.
If you want to hear a Grand Funk drum solo check out "T.N.U.C" live if possible 👍
Theres that Veleno guitar! My buddy had one drove to Florida and had Mr. Veleno ( 70ish yrs old) himself work on it. Then sold it for a lot…
Don had to be crazy hot with that awesome, monster fro and that 17th century ballroom shirt he had on! He killed it again though.
Great song. Something else you may like is... Sin is a Good Man's Brother. My go to song.
The studio version doesn't have the echo effect on the guitar, but it's pretty bad-ass and adds an edge to the song.
Great footage, how about those outfits?
underrated
First time I've heard this song.
I see the title. Instantly remember. But, I can't remember what I ate for f!@#in breakfast. Must be this 70's music and some damn fine drugs.
Loved your fish scooped up metaphor brotha 👍
Don Brewers vocals were ferocious!
Flint Michigan rock rules,
Truth...Zeppelin kicked them off the tour when GFR was their opening act. Hmmmm, I wonder why...as if I didn't already know
Black Licorice & Into the Sun are two gems as well
They've reacted to Black Licorice. Killer song.
We are all on the funk train
Check out, To get back in, on the Shine On album ❤
Another heavy/funky song by them is People Let’s Stop The War.
I've played drones by myself but I don't know if I could wear that outfit while I'm playing. Thank God bless Ham
Guys, same concert please do "Heartbreaker" your brother is going to dig the shite out of it.
ruclips.net/video/3Ynt8n0WbL4/видео.html
It’s “GRAND FUNK” La and Che! It’s the Michigan Funk, GRAND FUNK.
I too am a senior, grand funk is my band, homer simpsons band too!
It is called ROCK AND ROLL😊
Hard a.. rock.
Funk is their middle name.
Perfect comment!! Nailed it! ✌🏼💯

……..really too bad.

They'd just go all in live. Fortunate to see them twice before Mark Farmer left ( under some dirty situations)
They sound so much better live than how they sound on record
The term Funkie Chicken reefers to the two guitar players
I hope you get to the song “Black Licorice” from this same concert
Oh, I forgot you did that one a few months ago. This whole concert is great. “Footstompin’ Music” has long been one of my favorite concert openers. Along with ZZ Top opening concerts with “Thunderbird”.
You're, like, 2 × 3 times You guys really know how to put on the show
Mel, Mark and Don...
San Antonio Texas
I have this album and am a fan of the band, but this was their turning point for me. Feels like trying to be more popular. Great performance. I like Please Me, Destitute and Losin', Mr. Pretty Boy and Little Johnny Hooker off this one.
Great title track from a great album
Can you pls do Little Johnny hooker
Drummer is a very very bad man. Elite vocals, top notch drummer! Damn
The Pride of Flint Michigan! Try Mean Misstreater. GFR. Detroit Grit 🇺🇸☕
Homer Simpson’s Favourite Band!
Hall of shame is a joke.
And they are still NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
Great performance though lacking the superior fidelity of the studio and Caught in the Act live albums. "Destitute and Losin'" from this year (1974) is a winner.
Please react to Liar by Rollins Band

Need to listen to nothing is the same
It’s Grand Funky! It’s heavy, no metal.
Gimmie Shelter better, and Parnoid ,which is before Black Sabbath but not same song
They're not called Grand Funk for nothing as they always brought the Funk whenever they performed. While drummer Don Brewer was lead vocal on this song that just gave Mark Farner more time to demonstrate his front man prowess. Skipping across the stage and always putting on a show for the crowd.
Keyboardist not an original member
I remember the day I went out and bought this album. I think I was 14 years old! Peace!
Mark Don and Mel!!!
