"Inside looking out"live 1970 is a great tune you will love it. They opened for Led Zeppelin and Zeppelin's manager didn't want them to open for them because the crowd was so into Grant funks music ✌
Wow, my fun hippie days would not have been such hell raising times without this bad ass song. Grand funk has always been the greatest.😎😎😎🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶 dam guys🥰🥰
Captain/Closer to my Home is a MUST. The group showed up at the recording studio with nothing to record. They were giving a few hours to come up with something and this masterpiece was written.
Before they became mainstream, they were known as Grand Funk Railroad. Try their song called I'm Your Captain (Closer To Home) album version. You will both like!
"The hotel detective was out of sight" is a colloquialism for he was really cool. I grew up with the band. They're from my hometown of Flint, Michigan. I went to school with Craig Frost's (keyboards) brothers, Scott and Jason. Scott was a badass keyboard player (RIP) with whom I played for several years. I was a pro for several years in part due to their influence on me as early as ten years old when I would watch them rehearsing in a neighbor's basement before they became famous. A little trivia. The Beatles sold out Shea Stadium in six weeks. Grand Funk did it in 72 hours - a record to this day! GFR - THE American band...!
Grand Funk started what is now known as a power trio... a bass, drummer, lead guitar/keyboard. Truly classic rock in every sense of the word. Check out I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home. Great music.
I have heard of this band but I've never really listened to their music - more fool me!! It was brilliant and I loved the guitar solo - wow! The whole song was great actually so must look out for them on RUclips - where else?? I also loved the beat and whole vibe of the song - really good. That's two great reactions you've given us tonight guys, many thanks!!
You guys really need to see these guys playing INSIDE LOOKING OUT live. You've never seen a tighter 3-piece with an amazing front man. You will love it.
Was this requested? It is not the first song by this band to begin listening to. First concert of my rock & roll life...the lead singer was one of the first rockers to have hair down his back! Girls went crazy! 🤘🏽
I bought the 45 rpm single when this song became a hit. I must have been 13 or 14. It was a Bright translucent yellow color!! So exotic! Thanks for your great reaction!!
Congrats! You found some American Gold! My favorite band of all time. Try listening to: I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home, Rock n Roll Soul, Footstompin Music, Are You Ready, Heartbreaker, Inside Looking Out (live) will blow your mind. Keep rocking guys and thanks.
This was one of the best just plain rock bands of all time. If there was a softer side of plain rock bands, it would be Three Dog Night. Just plain bands that were appealing and had a lot of consistent hits.
OMG!!!I was 14 yrs.old when I listened to this wonderful band for the first time. Good choice guys,I love your reactions... Please react to Some kind of Wonderful...thnx.
Excellent tune released in 1973. There is an addition to the band on this release - Craig Frost - who plays the organ, clavinet and Moog. Thanks for your reaction gentlemen.
‘69 ‘70 ‘71 Riding in my ‘56 buick hardtop - windows down letting everybody enjoy my tunes. If all these guys were ahead of their time, I guess it reallywas their time.
another great example of the variety of "sounds" that were available to us while we were growing up at the time.... man.... really.... you kids missed a lot and i mean a lot... ...peace
GrandFunk Railroad is legendary, you gotta check more of then like : I'm your captain, Some kind of Wonderful, The loco-motion (I'm sure you've heard this one), Inside looking out, Gimme Shelter (that indeed The Rolling Stones covered) , Bad Time and Heartbreaker!!! Oh and don't forget "We gotta get out of this place"! Alot of famous songs came from this awesome band.
Heartbreaker, Foot Stompin Music and I’m your Captain are some really good songs of theirs. These guys were so good in concert that Led Zepplins manager fired them from being the opening act for Zepplin because he didn’t want them taking away from Zepplin show. They were great in concert!!!
This song was covered by the awesome glam / hair / rock band Autograph. For a souped up mid 80's version give it a whirl. And while you're there, try Turn Up The Radio, In The Night or My Girlfriend's Boyfriend Isn't Me 🤩
The warning the end live Lunario warning channel pro shot. Great young rock band. I know you start with studio but they are so good live start with that
I didn't recognize the name of the band or the song title, but as soon as it started, I remembered my dad playing this song when I was really little. I even remembered the lyrics! 😆
Their most well known song is a cover of LOCOMOTION. I think every roller skating kid knows it.....they may not know its GranD Funk Railroad but they know the song.
"I'm Your Captain/Closer To Home" and "Some Kind Of Wonderful" are great tunes as well.!
Yep Do it : )>Captain Funk..
Not popular? They were one of biggest bands in the world.Geez. Kids nowadays 🙄
The drummer is also the lead singer in this song of theirs. Try out Inside Looking Out.
Definitely check out Inside looking out live 1969!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hell yes, my fav of this band of all time !!!......long live Mark !!.....LOL
NEXT: GRAND FUNK'S "I'm Your Captain"
Yes
This years nominations for the Rock Hall inductions came out....GFR still not nominated but many Hip Hop artists are? BS!
It's not hip hops fault don't blame them. The hall is just a crappy organization. Bad company isn't in but bon jovi is
GFR should be a given for R&R Hall of Fame
The HOF is a parody of itself.
OMG!! I second the call of BS!! 😡
They have MY VOTE!! (Especially Mark Farner! 😍)
@@allensaunders449 it's hip hop BS it isn't rock there is no excuse so I blame them all
One of the best bands from the 70s
"Inside looking out"live 1970 is a great tune you will love it. They opened for Led Zeppelin and Zeppelin's manager didn't want them to open for them because the crowd was so into Grant funks music ✌
1969
Named after the Grand Trunk Railroad that runs through Flint, Michigan.
“Footstompin’ Music”....trust me on this. That is a funky jam.
the drumming at the end of "footstompin' music" is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bro's, Their - Inside Looking Out 1969 is great live. Available on youtube
Wow, my fun hippie days would not have been such hell raising times without this bad ass song. Grand funk has always been the greatest.😎😎😎🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🎶 dam guys🥰🥰

Best place to begin!
One of the finest songs ever written
Captain/Closer to my Home is a MUST. The group showed up at the recording studio with nothing to record. They were giving a few hours to come up with something and this masterpiece was written.
The drummer is singing on this track. They are great to watch live.
Didn’t know that. !
DUDES! “I’m Your Captain/Closer to Home” is their masterpiece! Go for it!

The BS music industry has this amazing band very underrated, only true fans love these guys and I am proud to say that I am forever be a fan
Oh memories I loved it!! Thanks guy's ♥️
They were big in the 70s. I think because there were so many great bands back then that's why you never heard of them before.
Great song. The 70’s dropped so much good music on us, we really were spoiled. Thank you for your reaction!
I have heard of this band but I've never really listened to their music - more fool me!! It was brilliant and I loved the guitar solo - wow!

They have so many incredible songs! You gotta check them out! Try Time Machine~
"..... we're coming to your town, we'll help you party it down, we're an American band."
React to the live performance of the GFR cover of "Inside Looking Out" from 1969 - and buckle up. : )
Yes, you must!---inside looking out live. Mark Farmer on vocals...sooo goood
It's the cowbell and keyboard that makes this song great! Check Inside Out by them.
Gotta have more cow bell!

Song is in my Top 10. It lifts you up! Drummer is singing on this one. Love that cowbell
You guys really need to see these guys playing INSIDE LOOKING OUT live. You've never seen a tighter 3-piece with an amazing front man. You will love it.
Awesome! I forgot how much I loved this song!
Love this band, my fave is "Some Kind Of Wonderful "
Great banger band. "Footstompin Music" has the same vibe as this song. Hard to believe this is over 50 years old.
Was this requested? It is not the first song by this band to begin listening to. First concert of my rock & roll life...the lead singer was one of the first rockers to have hair down his back! Girls went crazy! 🤘🏽
Saw them live when I was in college. Think I lost some hearing that night. They were so loud that my chair was vibrating to the beat!😜
I bought the 45 rpm single when this song became a hit. I must have been 13 or 14. It was a Bright translucent yellow color!! So exotic! Thanks for your great reaction!!
Check out "Black Licorice" by Grand Funk Railroad (the live version if you can). It's a song that rocks and highlights each member of the band.
I had this 45. It was pressed on yellow vinyl.
Love your reactions. you both appreciate great, great music!
You guys must do "Inside Looking Out" . The live version from 1969. Grand Funk Rocks !!!
Congrats! You found some American Gold! My favorite band of all time. Try listening to: I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home, Rock n Roll Soul, Footstompin Music, Are You Ready, Heartbreaker, Inside Looking Out (live) will blow your mind. Keep rocking guys and thanks.
You guys are great! I love your passion for great music...
My favorite Grand Funk song is Rock 'N Roll Soul.
This was one of the best just plain rock bands of all time. If there was a softer side of plain rock bands, it would be Three Dog Night. Just plain bands that were appealing and had a lot of consistent hits.
You've got to hear Grand Funk's
'Black Licorice '
A great funky Rock and Roll song, complete with cow bells! Helluva party tune!🎸🤘💥
Need more cowbell 🤘

Excellent tune released in 1973. There is an addition to the band on this release - Craig Frost - who plays the organ, clavinet and Moog. Thanks for your reaction gentlemen.
As you said, after a studio version, You should watch these three guys in a live performance.
A Classic. Lots to explore with this band.
‘69 ‘70 ‘71 Riding in my ‘56 buick hardtop - windows down letting everybody enjoy my tunes. If all these guys were ahead of their time, I guess it reallywas their time.
Like BTO, Grand Funk was a great rock party band.

The warning the end live Lunario warning channel pro shot. Great young rock band. I know you start with studio but they are so good live start with that
I always liked the tip of the hat in the lyrics to the famous "Sweet Sweet" Connie Hamzy.
😆 "Come on Dudes, let's get it on " and you two are wearing your Dude shirts! Love you guys!
Yeah, they need to add that into their intro .
I didn't recognize the name of the band or the song title, but as soon as it started, I remembered my dad playing this song when I was really little. I even remembered the lyrics! 😆
I’m glad you liked this song I love it too.
You NEED to watch the video to this song! It's them having fun on their property. I don't want to spoil it!

It’s fantastic
I love that you have band artwork for each one you react to 👍👍
Inside looking outside live
I love Grand Funk Railroad another great funky 70s rock band to look into its three dog night
GFR was HUGE in their day and still playing today.
He'll yes!!! AMERICAN BAND!!!!
And they are all naked on the inside of the album cover! I still have the gold vinyl addition.
Three man band with the sound of more and with the drummer singing on this one.
Footstomping music live next if you like this you will like footstomping music
Inside Looking Out ... Live. You'll be amazed!
This band is from really close to my home town. They have a few other good songs. “I’m your Captain”.
One of my favorites with led zeppelin. So underrated.
You need to do the official video of this. It's bad to the bone. The drummer is the lead singer. It's awesome.
Good Track - Reminds me of my schooldays !!
Song based on actual events. Connie was a well known groupie back in the day.
Their most well known song is a cover of LOCOMOTION. I think every roller skating kid knows it.....they may not know its GranD Funk Railroad but they know the song.
You guys are Awesome. Best wishes
You definitely need to check out Inside Looking Out (live 1969) They are awesome! Also love Some Kind Of Wonderful...They are an amazing 3 man band!
Yep.
This was the "response" to American Woman I was blanking on...
A helluva a tune!
