One off the most underrated bands of all time. They rocked
Grand Funk Railroad was the first band I ever saw live. It was 1971 at the Hollywood Sportatorium and I was 14. To this day it was the greatest rock and roll show I've ever seen.
The Pride Of Flint , Michigan ! They sang of being an American band in a scene dominated by British bands at the time. Absolutely incredible drummer 🥁 ! Long Live Rock & Roll 🎸
So cool!
Mel Schacher is one of the greatest bassists in rock history. I got to see them live on their "We're An American Band" tour when I was 15 and they were amazing. That album was the beginning of the downward slide for the band for me, but all their albums leading up to that are still in regular rotation for me. One of the great rock & roll trios (until they added keyboardist Craig Frost on the "Phoenix" album, anyway) and always glad to see them pop up in reactions with the younger generation. Glad you liked it Maddy!
Really only Farner was the only one from Flint and he’s from Burton and Brewer is from Swartz Creek a richer suburb. and Schacher is from who really cares and Craig Frost is another member in my book.Farner is the only one still here. Brewer was playing drums for Bob Seger now he called it quits. I’ve been watching them over 50 years.
on particular songs he sounds raspy but has a nice soulful voice he was influenced by black singers react to the song I'm your captain/ closer to home the long version you'll hear his real voice !
With respect is it still the band with only the one guy left? I mean if the guy is the engine of the band maybe but to use lynyrd as an example I struggle to see that the later variant is the real band
Maybe the best hard rock American band ever! Timeless music with very deep blues driven lyrics, should have been in hall of fame 35 years ago!
The crazy thing is they played every song with this type of intensity for three hours every night. The ultimate road warriors. There will never be another GFR!!.
One the greatest rock performances ever recorded. Just incredible. Lots of talent right there.
Your reaction was spot on!!!
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe EVERYONE!!!
Thanks!
"He's like crunchy toast with melted butter on top" Great description of Mark Farner
😂🩷
Great band during best band era 60's, 70's & 80's that's all I'll say. love your reaction.
Grand Funk Railroad is a great American rock band who achieved their peak in popularity during the 1970's. "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)" is one of my favorites. But they had a lot of great hits such as "We're An American Band", "The Loco-Motion", "Walk Like A Man", "Shinin' On", "Some Kind Of Wonderful", "Bad Time" etc.
the lead singer is still signing today.💚
Grew up on GFR. Such power and just three guys. Played their ass off on this one.
If you like Bass ad Drums, then check out 'Some Kind of Wonderful" because it is just Bass and Drums, and call and response vocals between Mark Farner (Guitarist) and Don Brewer (Drummer), until they add some organ when they take you to church at the end.
Grooved on this in the early 70s.
Right, every time I smoked a joint, I had to play this song.
My God Mel off the charts with the bass
They should be in the rock Hall of Fame.
I just love watching you sway to the music of such a great "American Band'!❤
Great video as always! Chronch Toast, great name for a rock band!🤘
Yes indeed, great bass and drums lay the foundation, and this dude is one of my favorite bass players. GFR were an awesome band back in the day. I remember my first time hearing this (long tome ago). Glad you played this one.
Maddy... Because of this performance, I bought both Grand Funk 'live's CD's... Great stuff...
Take a little bit of Funk and a little bit of Rock and Roll and you get Grand Funk Railroad! "Some Kind of Wonderful"
I don't know, I'd say just stick to the original with that one, but that's just me.
Hola Maddy!! Efectivamente, Grand Funk Railroad fué la única banda que "paró" a las grandes bandas Británicas 😊. En Chile, hasta hoy son muy recordados ❤. Mark Farner es muy querido y todavía nos visita . " Somos una banda americana" fué uno de sus temas icónicos.
Saludos cariñosos desde Chile, ( al fin del mundo ).

This was the first band I seen in concert in Detroit at Co-Bo Hall Arena
Wore this Grand Funk live album out when I was in college in the early 70s.
I saw Grant Funk Railroad do this in concert at Kansas City in 1970. They were hugely popular at the time. So much energy!
Oooh so cool!
This is actually a great story. Grand Funk Railroad was performing here on a local talk show and they decided to perform this song which was originally done by The Animals and this performance got them signed to a major deal. They weren’t supposed to sing the version with the mention of smoking reefer but they did it anyway. Looks like having guts paid off for them! In 1970 they sold out Shea stadium quicker than The Beatles!! P.S. Maddy is a smoke show!!!!
One of the best bands great performance
Grand Funk Railroad they loved America they put out an album in 1976 celebrating America's 200 years of freedom and it is a birthday song and on the Same album they put out one don't let them take your gun these are two good suggestions that are really cool songs with a lot of meaning to them love you Solon
They were the first American rock band to owned there own touring Jet. We’re an American band.
" ..crunchy toast with melted butter.." - you're the best Maddy!
Mark Farner himself may say that's
a first for compliments - and I believe he'll love it!
As you can tell Maddy, a very energized band with a strong following, gaining their popularity from the mid/late 60s throughout the 70s into the 80s, also adding a keyboardist later on.
"American Band" & "Closer to Home" are 2 of their bigger hits, along with a cataloge of rocking blues, prog, boogie & funk.
Enjoy!

That bass is so funky!
Only three guys but tons of music. Great pick Maddy.
Crunchy toast with melted butter... Interesting
Right?!
I was 9 years old when I first heard this...I was hooked
Thank you for the reaction your amazingly beautiful
A original American rock band that's why mark farmer wrote the song were an American band they didn't come from across the ocean RED BLOODED AMERICAN ROCK AND ROLLERS
What a Great road to go down ...
"Footstompin Music"
"We're an American Band"
"Some Kinda Wonderful"
And that's the popular ones
Oooh
Excellent reaction one of the great bands from the 70s. Later beautiful ❤️😎🇺🇸
Yes they are!
Grand Trunk Railway was a common site in Detroit and Flint. The guys modified for band name
Let’s be honest will all wanna be Mark Farner here, just one time to play and sing like that, as well as perform, yeah, that’d be dope.
Maddy....Talk about your great power trios. Mark Farner vocals, guitar, harmonica, Don Brewer non- stop fantastic drummer, Mel Schacher dynamic bass. Just listen to these guys.
You might want to listen to Boz Scaggs live. His performance of his popular song LOWDOWN has the set-up of the bass and drums you like. He adds some electronic grace and purring harmony to the mix for the perfect dance floor sett
Grand Funk Railroad debuted in 1969 from Michigan... they were definitely credited as one of those rock bands that embodied the Midwest 'heavy' sound by the likes of The Stooges... MC 5 ... The Amboy Dukes ... etc.
Grand Funk Railroad originally consisted of: Mark Farner (vocals/ guitar), Don Brewer (drums), Mel Schacher (bass)... Craig Frost (keyboards) joined in 1973... The band was well known for their live shows and had hits like - "We're an American band" ... "Rock & roll soul"...
However, the band became disillusioned by 1976 w/ the advent of disco music and split up under internal turmoil... Grand Funk reformed over the years since 1983 but are now strictly a touring legacy band w/ Don Brewer (drums) and Mel Schacher (bass) as original members... Max Carl (vocals & guitar), Tim Cashion (keyboards) and current guitarist Mark Chatfield r in the current touring line-up.
Wow! we used to play that song in 1969! Great group! Great song!
We lived next door to a family of native Americans, just outside of Phoenix when this album came out.. The Father of the family gave me some albums of his tribal music, for mowing their lawn (their mower was down) and mixed in was the GFR red album.. I never heard anything like it before..GFR was my #1 band afterward.. I believe inside looking out was an Animals cover, btw..
Well done for running this masterpiece in one Maddy. The drummer put in a shift and and a half and still finds energy to sing

Mark, Don and Mel ruled the midwest back in 70s. Please check out the ( official music video ) for their hit "We're an American " !
Hey, Maddie. It's been awhile. Glad to see your subscriptions are way up from the early days of the channel.
Grand Funk Railroad are great. I lived in Ohio when they broke out in the 197o's. Couldn't believe how raw and furious their sound was at the time.
Try these great reminders of their power and legacy.
SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL,
AMERICAN BAND,
FOOTSTOMPIN' MUSIC,
& I'M YOUR CAPTAIN.
I can see by the way your 8s bopping and rolling to this song how much you are enjoying this.
Keep going and enjoy
One of the most played tunes on reactor channels, but gives me the chills every time 🥶
Awesome reaction Maddy! Way back in the day our first exposure to GFR was their live album "Grand Funk Live Album" recorded in Jacksonville Florida 1970. We played that record over and over so much we knew every note of every song as the recorded concert played through on the album. It wasn't long before they did a show at The forum and I was there. They were awesome but to our surprise the opening act was a band we hadn't heard of yet. The opening act was Black Sabbath.
I was at that concert too! Man that was a GREAT show.
@@danesteban5105 Say what!!! I was 14 and it was my first concert. I tell this story any chance I get.
- Well, if you love funk, then you can't go wrong w/ GRAND Funk! :)
Mel Schacher was an original OG on bass.
And you Maddy are like toast, butter & strawberry jam. Yum. I love your descriptions. You are the best 😍.
Thank you 😋
I funny thing is that Mark Farner has a beautiful clean, clear, multi octave voice. This is the ONLY song that he sings with a raspy voice.
Great song Great reaction. Thanks for letting the song play all the way through. You have a new fan. PEACE
I can feel you in the morning good suggestion for Maddie
Your ROCK'IN that dress Maddy ! WOW ! I saw GRAND FUNK RAILROAD 4 OR 5 times back in the day in South Florida ! Great live band ! Hope your doing well ! Great reaction Maddy ! PEACE TO THE WORLD !
Thanks!
Pride of Flint Michigan, and should have been in the hall of shame.
Coming from someone who never accomplished anything. In the early 70's they were THE Gods of Rock. Go back asleep.
Some Kind Of Wonderful", " I can feel himi n the Morning :, People Lets Stop The War," Loneliness, Foot Stompin Music." More gteat songs from Grand Funk ! just for you pretty lady ..
THAT WAS THE SIXTIES!
Great reaction, Maddy! I'm glad I was able to experience this type of music as a young man. This was a fantastic time for all types of sounds.
Most definitely!
Great tune and performance! Yes, more Grand Funk please, try Heartbreaker live at Shea Stadium, another killer tune from one of the best bands of that era. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Its really something watching you watch them. You are young i am old. Great reaction!
Glad you like them!
The whole Were an American Band album is worth checking out, I have the vinyl, I never get sick of it it's best Cranked loud and proud with the windows wide open at 3 o'clock in the morning, not one of my neighbors pitched a bitch about it either 😂🍺🍻✌️❤️ to the world 🌎🌍
Super Duper is right !! Love watching you enjoy this song. Love you too...
I went to the bands concert in London at Royal Albert Hall many years ago Great😅
So cool!
Also, keep in mind that these guys were only 18, 19 & 20 at the time.
With a toy drum set and used guitar with masking tape all over it.
They were one of guitarists he learned for best Dennis Coffey and was there with a bongo brothers from Motown
Ooh
Good Kharma for me - I just finished bashing the Moody Blues and this, one of the top live performances of all time, comes next on the algo! Life is fun sometimes lol. Subscription earned by fine content (with a nudge of good fortune).
I can't remember who's who but they were 20, 19 and 18 years old when performing this. What a jam and what talent 🏴🇬🇧✌️
i was 12 and wore this 45 record out and were an american band
Love it!
That's great, I seen Grand Funk " Live " in Boston in 1997 , and when they played the song, Mark said " You all probably heard this for the first time when you were 12 " .
I was 13 the first time. 1975.
They opened for Led Zeppelin and were kicked off the tour by LZ's manager. He didn't want them to out perform LZ.
Ooohhh
If you like bass and drums, give Morphine a listen. They are a trio comprised of drums, bass and sax. "The Night" is a great track.
My man!! 🎤🎸🥁
i really don’t think you will be able keep his reefer away from him. don’t even try.
Mark Farner is GFR!! Such a shame that they can't put the music above the disagreements and confliction and be there for the fans
Fantastic Band 👏👏👏. It was a shame i didn't have a whiskey with a beer back 🥃🍺🤦 during the song 😉...
Enjoy your Adventures
Take Care ✌️❤️🙏
One of the great rock trio's of the late sixties and early seventies.

Great song!
Mel’s bass is amazing as always!
Don gets a lot out of that tiny drum kit.
Another Rockin' band that the critics did not like (those seem to be the best bands) as they sold out stadiums across America and were popular universally. GFR were far from a fave of mine, BUT - "We're an American Band" is one of those tunes as soon as it hits, BAMM ya gotta get up and move!!!
I tuned in to see Maddy and actually listened to the music this time (~wink~)

I'm just discover your channel now, it's so great!!! I subscribe.
Welcome aboard!
@@MaddyReactionsThank you.
In case you didn’t know, a nickel bag was a plastic bag of marijuana that cost $5, about an ounce. That would be $ 40 in today’s money.
Ooooh
Their 1971 performance live at Shea Stadium of “Closer To Home/ I’m Your Captain” is awesome. GFR was the ONLY band besides the Beatles to sell out Shea Stadium and they did it in 72 hours where it took the Beatles over 3 weeks!
ruclips.net/video/A_t59To7Snk/видео.htmlsi=5IDs2ou5hScYpfpm
Hi beautiful! Great reaction! Stay safe! 😊
Thank you! You too!
Love GFR and Mark's singing and playing on this, but his guitar tone with that silly aluminum Messenger guitar with the built-in fuzz always left a lot to be desired.
MEAN MISTREATER, HEARTBREAKER, IM YOUR CAPTAIN, FOOTSTOMPIN’ MUSIC, BLACK LICORICE, SOMEONE, ARE A FEW GREAT TUNES. ROCK ON 👊👏

@@MaddyReactions … YOU SAID THAT YOU WANTED MORE GRAND FUNK SONGS,
I JUST GAVE YOU SIX TO CHOOSE FROM. THERE ARE MANY MANY MORE, FOR ME THERE ARE NO BAD SONGS FROM GRAND FUNK. LOVE UR REACTIONS MADDY.
ROCK ON DARLIN 👊🖖
I like ure reactions. They gotta pry a smile on ure face.
Always liked Grand Funk RR.
This was 55 years ago and the oldest one on that stage is 20 years old.
Mark Farner is a bad ass
QUEEN
LIVE AID 1985
FULL SET
WooooHoooooo 😁
Great video and performance, but the studio version is better. More metal. less screaming.
Sounds better and it's the version I grew up with.
Try " Were an American band " live in 74' . it's a #1 hit and they perform it flawlessly.
Mark Farner, lead singer and guitarist, was badly screwed over by the other two band members. They wrested control of the band and fired Mark years ago. Not only was Marl lead singer and guitarist, but he also wrote most of the songs. They also forbid him from referring to having been a member of Grand Funk when he performed solo. I saw him live about 10 years ago and he still had it. Thanks for this video Maddy. I would like to recommend I'm Your Captain/ Closer to Home as your next G.F. song to react to. It's very different and is my favorite of their songs.
Brewer And Schacher didn't fire Farner. Mark quit the band to go back to his solo career after the 1998 tour. They did however take control of the G.F.R corporation with 2/3 majority vote on legal issues. Now Mark wants back in. Hope it happens.
@@brianmccarthy8595 You are right; they took control of the band, which means he had no power in a group that he had a huge hand in making famous. He had no decision making power over the music that he wrote. They basically "fired" him.
@@davidmyers5916 The 1996-98 tours were very successful for G.F.R. Brewer and Schacher were very optimstic about the future of the band and that's when Farner blindsided them with the news he was quitting when the current tour was over. If Mark did not quit they would not have fired him from the corporation. Don and Mel wanted to keep going and that is when big egos got in the way. So now Mark wants back in but they don't want him. So he kind of screwed over himself. It's sad because G.F.R was such a great band. Farner does have publishing rights to all his songs from 1972 forward and can sing them till his heart is content. I don't know who has publishing rights to the songs he wrote from 1969-71. Possibly the Terry Knight estate? He still sings them live though.
@@brianmccarthy8595 I have heard differently for so many years that it is hard to consider a different scenario. You seem to know a lot about this band. May I ask what your background is? Or are you simply a fan? By the way, my first two albums I purchased were Grand Funk Live The 1910 Fruitgum Co. Is that not the oddest combo?
Hi Maddy, another gem you might like? "Magenta - Live Spectral Mornings featuring David Longdon and Peter Jones"

Funkadelic is true funk…Check them out…
Waiting.
That’s when you got arrested for pot! 🤷🏻♂️
If you like this one,try live “ Heartbreaker”….Fire.
Oooh!
Have you checked out James Brown's 1981 performance of It's a Man's World, from World of Jazz ?
Oooh
