What do you all say that we who are still among the living create a Renaissance of the spirit that gave us this timeless music. We can't do it after we're dead. Well maybe we can but we might have to wait awhile to find out. No time like the present!
Saw GFR in Little Rock last night. I was in rock and roll heaven. Front row. Sweet Sweet Connie was there doing her act. Brewer can still bang the drums and Karl and Kulich are amazing. Wish they would reconcile with Farner. Farner is right...the fans want it.
3:22 Grand.Funk.Railroad...Era una de las Bandas más potentes y con calidad que avia en los años 70...Eran muy buenos .Las Bandas de ahora......no se les acercan ni por asomo..
We saw them a lot in West Palm Beach Florida. This was the leaky T-P as I recall. I suspect this was their formula for the entire country so how to know where this was shot? Anyway, it could easily have been WPB Fl.
James gang=similar to GFR. They weren't very well known but were from Cleveland Ohio and were great. By the way, did you know GFR was from flint, Michigan? Sure have a lot of rockers from Michigan!
The Warning are the first band in 30 years to give me a genuine rock'n'roll boner. Without a doubt, the best thing to happen to rock in the 21st century so far
This is the 70s real talent no drum machines, no computers, no voice enhancement, Raw talent.. 70s the best years of my life as a teenager In south Florida. G F R on the 8 track
I thank the Lord, that my childhood was in the 60's and 70's. It was such a great time. A freedom that is hard to put into a few words. It rocked and still rocks my life, and developed me into who I am today. A diff set of morals than the world today! Rocks On My Brothers and Sisters!! Love Ya All!!
Every teen loves the music that's live around them.... But the live music of my teen years 1969-1975.... I wouldn't trade that for anyone else's "teen" years... It was generationally special, meaning it's appreciated with enthusiasm by generations that followed. A true Golden Age.
@plumerian66 - You'd be surprised to hear about those who were born in or after the 1980s and their musical preferences, a lot of whom prefer 1970s and 1980s Rock n' Roll.
I saw Grand Funk in '70, they opened for Led Zeppelin. I ,nor anyone else had ever heard of them,but they blew my ass away ! I wasn't expecting anything like what I saw, they were awesome !
June 12, 1973...Grand Funk records this masterpiece. By Summer of '74 it would be their first #1 hit single in the U.S. Fell in love with Mark Farner when I was 14 in 74.
I was born in 1967 I grew up on Robin Trower Bad Company Grand Funk Jethro Tull the list goes on my first concert 3rd grade John Denver Olympia and he was in the round my next concert after that Van Halen 15 years old Cobo Hall Zeppelin put the ball down Van Halen picked it up and still has it and no will come close today's music just isn't the same people don't care about instruments seems just computers not knocking new technology it should help you not make you hone your craft learn your instrument
This is THE American rock anthem without a doubt. The riff by itself is one of the modt unique and unmistakeable riffs of all time just like "Smoke On The Water" & "Mississippi Queen." This was the Golden Age of Rock (1969-1974) and no period could match it for the number of power bands, music composition, or quality.
One of the greatest song of rock'n'roll ever, it's hard to believe that a very close friend of mine and myself almost got expelled from school in communist Cuba for just listening to it, weird but true.
That's what you call putting your soul in the music! Man that energy is insane! I'd personally give $1000 bucks if a group like this ever played live at my house for my birthday.
It is truly mind boggling that the jerks (committee) has yet to induct Grand Funk, one of the greatest bands of the 70s into the rock and roll hall of fame. Or should I say rock and roll hall of SHAME!
+Ralph Rivera the rock and roll hall of fame is not a real institution - someone made it up to make money - it's not like it was founded to serve as some sort of true music museum or some such.
Damnit....I never get tired of this. And I seen them in concert during the 70s and I'm still watching and listening to this classic rock spectacle. Long live GFR 🎸 April 2024
This is one badass group that should have been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame years and years ago I grew up listening to them they were way ahead of their time pure blood and guts rock and roll you can't beat it
You kids know Grand Funk, right? The shirtless antics of Mark Farner? The bong rattling bass of Mel Schacher? The competent drum work of Don Brewer? For more information on Grand Funk, consult your school library!
Did you know that before GFR, Mel Schacher played bass for a Bay City, Michigan Latino garage band: " ? and the Mysterians "... (their big hit in 1966 was "96 Tears") -- although Mel played with them after that song was released, and then only for a little while until their regular bass player got back from Viet Nam. BTW, the lead singer ?'s real name is Rudy Martinez, and he was brought into that band for his dancing ability! Go figure. And while I'm on the subject of Michigan rock stars, how about James Newell Osterberg Jr. (born in Muskegon in '47) -- known now as Iggy Pop. Apologies for my digressing, GF was huge in the '70s and one of the best!

Johnny Yum: Trump is truly evil. It's wrong to compare someone to Hitler unless you're talking about Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung or Pol Pot or anyone else who made an effort to commit genocide against his own people, but when you have someone preaching hate for so many groups and singling out people because of their religion, all the while being grossly ignorant of the issues and knowing nothing about what governing actually involves, along with being a sexist, vulgar, crude, misogynistic asshole, how else could he be accurately described. Thanks to Marco Rubio going to the gutter with the "small hands" comment, high school locker room humor made its debut in a political debate. Back on January 23rd in Sioux City, IA, he said, "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters." In his victory speech after winning the Nevada Republican Caucuses on February 23rd, he said, "I love the poorly educated." He is bragging about the fact that he panders to morons.
+Brian Willing the best times i had were back in the 70's, when I saw the greatest bands in concert, for such a cheap ticket price, I was young, but it was the most thrilling times of my life........loved it !!!!
Hey there kids! What you are watching here are real ROCK STARS! Not the modern bubble gum garbage of today that the mainstream refers to as rock! No auto tune nonsense ! Real life musicians actually playing their instruments and playing from the heart!
Yes it is....ya gotta learn to auto pilot your drum parts and get back on the mic after every fill. If ya try to think too much while doing it...the band is GONE and you're left in their slipstream wake turbulence! LOL!
They were not fake or overdubbed. This is what they did all the while they were coming up as teenage boys. They lived out the dream of being true rock stars, wote and played and sang the songs. And they were one of the very few fastest rising rock acts of all time. They really WERE rok stars.
Homer's band. They never get the credit they deserve! This three piece played the same festivals as Led Zeppelin and Bad Company. And you talk to people who were there and they were just as loud! And that's natural fact!
Huge foul GFR not being in the R&R HoF. These guys were a signature sound of a generation. Blue collar songs for blue collar fans. Considering some of the non-rock inductees, shameful that these guys aren't in there.
A lot of great bands came out of the 70's. This is just one of them. BTO, being another, The Doobie Brothers, and Nazareth just to name a few. The 70's was a great time to grow up in.
2024 year 🎸🎹🎶🎤🥁and I'm thinking about my old school boys Band😢 with All my buddies who've already cross the mighty 🤞 Rivers of Life to the other side... sweet 🙌 Rest 🙏 Fellas 😇 Precious memories 👌👍
SORRY KIDS NOT RAP HERE, NO HIP HOP, NO JUSTIN BEIBER OR SELENA GOMEZ..NOPE SORRY STILL NO RAP STARS SELLING THEIR LAST COLOGNE OR 500 DOLLAR SHIRTS, THIS WAS THE PLACE ROCK AND ROLL CAME TO LIVE AND PROSPER....
I am not from this planet and I love their sound! America is a huge continent. These guys made Central and South America scream with bravado and delight. Music has no boundaries. Closer to home is a masterpiece!
The clothes were designed by the famous photographer and designer Lynn Goldsmith. They were made for the Shinin’ On Tour and they glowed in the dark. Mark Farner also played an aluminum Veleno guitar for this tour too. When the lights hit the guitar it would shine back out into the audience. 🚂💨💨💨 🇺🇸 🎸

Muito Feraaaa!!!!
Nobody liked them but the public.
James gang=similar to GFR. They weren't very well known but were from Cleveland Ohio and were great. By the way, did you know GFR was from flint, Michigan? Sure have a lot of rockers from Michigan!
I don't care what anyone says the 70's was the best generation when it came to rock and roll. The music these days sux doesn't come close.
Facts!!!
I heartily agree!
Amen great music great car's oh yea 70's rocked
The Warning are the first band in 30 years to give me a genuine rock'n'roll boner.
Without a doubt, the best thing to happen to rock in the 21st century so far
This performance is the purest distillation of rock n'roll. Four guys, no studio augmentation, fueled by alcohol and adrenaline.
Afros and Cowbells! Fuck yes!!

FUCKIIN HELL YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell yeah. Shame 236 ass wipes think differently. Pure sounds putting modern crap to shame, and better hair than Beyoncé lol

The only good thing about being old is that i was around for some really great music back in the day. My funeral is going to be a rock festival.
I have a feeling we are in the same generation. The late '60's through the '70's had the best music.
smoothlyez
I'm cracking up at your last sentence. (Funeral Rock Festival). See ya ☝there lol.
I love you ♥️
my 1st 45 was solid gold 45 grand funk railroad were an american band. those were the days.
One of the few bands that sounded better live than in the studio.
AND THAT'S A NATURAL FACT!

As someone born in the late 90s, it's hard to believe there has been pratically no good music made in my lifetime.
I was born in 1971 and never heard of this group before
Awesome the 70's ruled . one of the greatest rock songs ever !
Amen to that!!
It's was Great...
AMEN brotha!
70’s was the BEST era!
No lip synch. No autotune. No dancers all over the stage. THIS is why I'm a rocker!!
💯 I'll have to try this on my bass. Man, the 1970s rocked! IMO and many others it was the best decade for guitar ROCK!
Younger generation gets mad as hell when us older folks say this, it’s hilarious…
Guy with the guitar is trying to dance , best part of this band was the drummer
昔は皆同じだよ
🤮🤮🤮
I saw Grand Funk in '70, they opened for Led Zeppelin. I ,nor anyone else had ever heard of them,but they blew my ass away ! I wasn't expecting anything like what I saw, they were awesome !
Class of '79. I went through junior high and high school jamming to this one! Brings back some great memories of just being a kid!
Same. Class of 79
Same
Mighty fine in 79, go Vashon Pirates.
One of d greatest rock songs of all time!!!
Closer to Home is stamped on my brain. Great American Rock Band to British onslaught.
Don Brewer is such a talented Percussionist. Anyone that can drum and sing and keep it rocking is just the ...man !!
Increíble!
Too bad he's a Dick and has withheld a true GFR reunion all these years !!!!
He has just the right amount of cowbell.

June 12, 1973...Grand Funk records this masterpiece. By Summer of '74 it would be their first #1 hit single in the U.S. Fell in love with Mark Farner when I was 14 in 74.
Three young dudes went into a garage and........when they came out the world was a better place.
Best comment i ever heard
4 dudes, the keyboardist never gets recognition 😂
It is the perfect rock song,nothing comes close! I remember when Grand Funk ruled the airwaves. They were something.
I was born in 1967 I grew up on Robin Trower Bad Company Grand Funk Jethro Tull the list goes on my first concert 3rd grade John Denver Olympia and he was in the round my next concert after that Van Halen 15 years old Cobo Hall Zeppelin put the ball down Van Halen picked it up and still has it and no will come close today's music just isn't the same people don't care about instruments seems just computers not knocking new technology it should help you not make you hone your craft learn your instrument
Sadly, today the rule is crank out the product, roll in the profits.
My Husband and I just saw them in Pittsburgh PA last Night! His Fave Rock Band! They were Awsome!!!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Took them 25 years to induct Chicago
Yeah it's a true shame. But NWA and Tupac can be inducted before GFR and other great classic rock acts from that era

the biggest drawing live performance band of the early 70s, 2nd to none
u said that RIGHT!!
Robert Wright bigger than Zeppelin??
Actually, he didn't say it right. It was neither spoken nor anywhere close to being grammatically correct.
Yes bigger than Zeppelin
The Allman Brothers Band would have something to say about that.....
The boys from Flint, Michigan!

One of the Best Live Bands of All Time! Mark, Don and Mel! GFR!
Just a brilliant song the singer is so damn awesome while playing the drums a real classic
This is the most '70s thing ever.
I used to listen to these guys at fourteen...this means I was VERY lucky!!! They still sound terrific today! Long live their music, and Rock'n Roll

Huge foul GFR not being in the R&R HoF. These guys were a signature sound of a generation. Blue collar songs for blue collar fans. Considering some of the non-rock inductees, shameful that these guys aren't in there.
I was at Shea in 71 and it was one of the best concert attended
Think the only groups to fill Shea in the 70's where this group and Jethro Tull in later 70's
A lot of great bands came out of the 70's. This is just one of them. BTO, being another, The Doobie Brothers, and Nazareth just to name a few. The 70's was a great time to grow up in.

I am not from this planet and I love their sound! America is a huge continent. These guys made Central and South America scream with bravado and delight. Music has no boundaries. Closer to home is a masterpiece!
Go home
The vocals and the drums and the whole performance, was just outrageous! Love the rough mic-ing!
Beautiful! Graduated high school in 1974, this brings back great memories.
Son vuenos
The clothes were designed by the famous photographer and designer Lynn Goldsmith. They were made for the Shinin’ On Tour and they glowed in the dark. Mark Farner also played an aluminum Veleno guitar for this tour too. When the lights hit the guitar it would shine back out into the audience.

HARD ROCKIN BAND. NO GIMMICKS or ANYTHING. STRAIGHT UP.
Only 3 million views for this. Pathetic. People need to wake up to what a great band this was.
