I saw mark live when he found jesus,was still a great show,again after he came back to Cleveland, he was back ,but left the change out ,he was still grand funk without mel and don,one of my favorite live shows at the agora ballroom ,still a great performance, bring back mark,amen
I saw GFR twice in 1971 and twice in 1997.Soooooo GOOD all 4 times. I was a 45 year old 'groupie' when I patted Don on the shoulder as he walked by me on the way to the stage.
To think l play drums til this day because of this guy 40yrs ago / and now l see him and l think wow what a low down , selfish , unconscious, con artist he has become and if you look closely it shows on his old face = the look of '' injustice ''. The saddest thing is this man will die with this injustice to the fans and Mark Farner while holding a grudge.
OVERRATED...His soloing has changed in 50 years...there's nothing hard about the 'daddy mommy' triplets...they make you sound like you're wicked fast...it's nothing
I like Don's playing and respect that he had a unique style. But this is basically a repeat of his solo from the first album 50 years ago. Not quite as good though. And long drum solos are simply out of vogue. But Don has to make it out like people go to see Grand Funk to see HIM. Nope. He was a part of a great musical legacy and this is not only a faint shadow of what once was, it's a reminder that he sold out a friend for a little more money and that makes him a piece a crap. What a shame.
@@carlyhall7821 That they do but they dont shaft the frontman in such a cruel vile way and rob him of all his material whilst trying to STOP HIM PLAYING IT!!! Not to mention the theft of marks messenger guitar and the failure to contact mark when his young son tragically died,the list is endless.KNOW YOUR FACTS LADY!
Ever hear of hair dye? Never get these people who exercise, eat right, Play great drum solos but refuse to dye their hair or even use Grecion formula for men. You are in show biz, act the part! No, not me man, I’m not gonna die my hair? WTF. Yeah Donnie. Take Us Higher. Here Mark, sign this! Next up after the puppet show....GFRR. Listen to them! All 25 of them.
Hey haters I am a 70 year old singing drummer. Don Brewer one bad ass drummer, wrote and sang GFR"s only number 1 hit "we're an American band. Mark and Don split the band so more power to Don. Without Don the band was not the same but has rights to the name an songs. Farmer has his own band so what! It's the music that counts.
@@WilliamBazinet-im8vf The other commentor is correct. Mark is one of my neighbors and told me Don added a small part to the song and asked Mark for credit cause he had none prior. Mark let him take the credit. Mark wrote it. Don is an adequate drummer but still a jerk. Sorry to have to break that truth to you. ✌️
Really - pretty damn good rendition of TNUC. Are you upset he didn't play part of it with his head? He sure as hell didn't slow down for a nearly 70 year old drummer. Name another guy at 70 who is pulling this off live.
I think it when the bass player and drummer screwed over the guy that wrote the songs and was the lead singer and played lead guitar - that I said "nope". I moved on.
@@rickoursler2583 Checkout the stories rick,don did some vile stuff and mel went along with it,treated mark badly.Mark wrote 90 odd % of material then they tried to stop him frm playing it.its well documented! YES don was a great drummer but has not moved foreward musically,he was no song writer nor was mel.The beating heart and soul of the band was the indomitable MARK FARNER!
Everyone here is talking all this shit about how grand funk is shit without Farner and ignoring this fucking killer drum solo, there’s still talented musicians
No Farner, No Funk
Amen brother !
That's the Don Brewer Band. Great drummer you can't take that away but still agree, without Mark it ain't Grand Funk Railroad. Sorry.
Very well said, Brother
Homer Simpson called him competent.
Sure wish the boys would make up and bring us a great tour on 2022! We need it!
That’s not grand funk. I don’t see mark farner anywhere on that stage.
I agree there is no Grand Funk Railroad without The master himself Mark Farner. Don and Mel need to grow up and give there fans the real deal.
NO FARNER NO FUNK
No Mark Farner - No GFR .
Don's still playing with all the power of a young Don Brewer. So good to hear him play like this.
This is Sham Bunk Failroad
Without Farner this group is absolutely FUNKLESS.
Mark says it's not alright
Donny, you're not Grand Funk Railroad. Mark is.
Piss off,dickhead
Mark & Don started GFR
@@melphillips9268 oh dear someone doesnt like the truth! i think you will find the dickhead is don!!!.
Grand Funk Tribute band nothing more. Don and Mel should be ashamed of themselves, Mark Farner has more class in his pinky finger.
I saw mark live when he found jesus,was still a great show,again after he came back to Cleveland, he was back ,but left the change out ,he was still grand funk without mel and don,one of my favorite live shows at the agora ballroom ,still a great performance, bring back mark,amen
Don Brewer a great drummer to a point
He never progressed though
Don Screwer
Don sewer!
Con Screwer
Come on man make up and do it right.for everyone stop hating.🎸⚔️
No Mark Farner, no grand funk!!!
This is a garage band without Mark!!!
he conned the only talented member out of the band!
I still remember every beat of that solo... kinda... which he played note for note... kinna... way way...way back then, even on the Live double album
I saw GFR twice in 1971 and twice in 1997.Soooooo GOOD all 4 times. I was a 45 year old 'groupie' when I patted Don on the shoulder as he walked by me on the way to the stage.

Don keeps playing the same rythem throughout...BORING !!😊
Get over the hate people.
Need to get back to the original funk band
Don has to be related to Tommy Aldridge lol
NEVER BE THE SAME, WITHOUT MARK FARNER!!! M.O'B
How many bands today will be remembered even 10 years from now? Classic bands like classic cars don't exist today.
Going to see them in June in Delaware. Still an awesome band no matter what some say
OVERRATED...His soloing has changed in 50 years...there's nothing hard about the 'daddy mommy' triplets...they make you sound like you're wicked fast...it's nothing
So Brewer is doing the same exact drum solo he did 50 years ago. That's sad.
Boo hoo what about us far out crazy old fans, still alive. We want back our Original band with Mark, Don and Mel. I too Old, I can't take no more .😂
Fair
Don Brewer and.his HACK BAND! ...You hurt.only.your self Don...Go Mark Farner.
Just let Mark stick to what he did best. Preach jesus to everyone who didn't want to hear it.
@@MoparStephen MARK HAS A HEART and a moral conscience.Sewer has neither my dear! look at him the arrogant prick!
I love GFR, that is a very average drum solo and way too long.
Que solo esfusiante de um dos melhores bateristas do mundo
That was one of the lamest drum solos I have ever watched.
Yup! But he took much credit for GFR!

Don is AWESOME
Bands break up all the time
@@carlyhall7821 They didn't break up. Don threw out the lead singer and took over the name.

He would look bloody stupid with all that hair he had dyed black with his old face now! lmao! GIVE ME SOME MARKIE!!!!

Impresionante! Don sigue siendo un prodigio de la batería. Un abrazo Don y Felicidades 👍🏿🇲🇽
Falta farner. Una pena. Año de esto?
He was always a great drummer and always with that big smile. Easy to see just how much he loves performing.
👊
Nice drum solo grandpa
Oh, and this drum solo sucks, by the way.

@@MoparStephen Ceasar Zuiderwijck of the golden earring does it great too at his age
@@JesseCrucible Serious double kick...backwards even
His solo hasn't changed in 50 years. That being said, he nails those trips although at half speed now.
@@MoparStephen IAN PAICE! YOU MOGODON!
no i in team
Always my favorite drummer. Don still has it. Awesome band too
Bad band mate.
@@markn3936 sound good to me

@@rickoursler2583 great drummer, killer singer. Some shit must have gone down. Mark Farner has been open for a reunion forever. Shame.
