Thank God I grew up listening to this great band and other wonderful artists in the 70`s and going to many concerts such as Fleetwood Mac opening for the Eagles , Chicago,Van Halen, Robin Trower, Boston, Aerosmith, Bad Company, Black Sabbath,UFO, Pat Benatar, Yes, Def Lepperd and others. For me the 70`s will always be my most favorite decade of rock music.
It’d been a more real world, if the present and more recent clowns hadn’t shown up with their disposable nonsense, as opposed to the indispensables, like Grand Funk.
This song is one of my dad's favorites, it brings back memories of when I was little and he was fixing things around the house, he played his music while he worked, today it's my turn to continue the legacy...🎹🎤🍻😎
Simply one of the most underrated bands of all time. They did it their way and only true fans understand that 🤘😎🤘 2020, and I've never stopped listening 🎧
What the heck. Best band ever. Taught me how to express my love for rock. I am 66 and still love them. I am a drummer and a singer. This band taught me how to rock the best music and express my self
66 yrs old and still a major GFR fan! What's wrong with the Rock and Roll hall of fame? Can't someone petition for GFR to be admitted? The fans would really love it!!!
@@michelelaraia7358 I was at SHEA STADIUM for a concert in the 70s it was awesome. Mark Don and Mel blew the stage up. Humble Pie opened up for them too. I was and still am a GFR fan. One of my favorite songs is Inside Looking Out. And a whole bunch more. I'm Your Captain is a all time classic.
I'm 16 years old boy, from Chile, where Reggaeton and Pop music dwells. I really don't care about what people says to me when they look what I'm listening to. I listen Grand Funk Railroad since I was 7 years old and for sure Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple... etc., all these bands guided me to a better life, full of rock, power and emotions. I say thanks to all of them, from the most inside of my heart!
Igual yo a los 16 años pero en 1970 y hoy a los 66 no los cambio..solo que hay bastantes grupos con buena música para seguir disfrutando.compraba los albims LP importados y trian la historia y letra de las canciones.mi mejor hobby...
If you're too young to understand this song you will one day if you listen to it it shows you how long life is and how actually short it is show cherish every moment you have 💝
you're right he's a musical genius,just think of the sheet music they didn't use,MARK FARNER never got the praise he deserved,none the less ,these recordings tell the truth,don and mel couldn't carry his jock strap
HEY, DON'T LEAVE ME OUT!!!! I'm 57 AND I FEEL THE SAME WAY- TALENT WITHOUT ALL OF THE CRAP WE HAVE TODAY !!!! ALL OF THAT TALENT WITH JUST A 3 PIECE BAND !!!! GRANDFUNK , U R TIMELESS !!!! 💕
So did I my two older brothers played them at home all the time I was only 11 years old my friends were crushing on Bobby Sherman not me 😂 Happy New Year 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
three men who took their precious youth and set the world on fire,made me believe that rock and roll wasn't just words,MARK DON AND MEL three piece band way ahead of their time and damn immortal,hall of fame doesn't have a room or wall good enough for these guys,you can'only do this when you're young and talented beyond you years,thanks FUNK
@missdarlene7 OMG 😃 What a FINE and SEXY BADASS Lead Vocalist and FINE and SEXY BADASS Guitar 🎸 Player and a FINE and SEXY BADASS DRUMMER too 😍‼️♥️ Sincerely Darlene an American Girl Who has a thing for drummers ❤️❤️❤️
They were one of my all-time favorite bands to see in concert! Every time they played in Detroit, my hippie boyfriend and I went! The energy was a magic. Experience!! They should be in in the rock and roll Hall of fame!!
Mark has not got a shirt on, so he is ready to rock. These three were so DAMN good. Why are they NOT in the hall of fame? They were/are good enough.... At least I think they are........ AND that riff at the end.
I had the honor of knowing bassist Mel and jammed many times with him. GFR was way ahead of their time and never given the accolades they deserved. Best live 3 pc. band I ever heard!
I was going through a pile of my moms classic rock albums and found GFR Greatest hits...I've been playing this thing non-stop and i can't get enough GFR! GREAT TUNE, GREAT BAND. This shit just melts my soul. Love it.
I was 11 when I first heard Grand funk railroad My two older brothers played their records I fell in Love with them especially Mark I was going to run away and go to Flint Michigan to look for him I saw them and I'm still goo goo Gaga lol
Grand Funk simply has more soul than anybody else. Their songs don't need to be complex compositions, Mark can bend a note and Don and Mel carry that note to perfection.
My brother played GFR incessantly growing up...I did not appreciate them at the time. What a force they were. My late brother knew talent. Miss you H.S.
I live in the UK and I didn't know about bands like Heart, and GFR etc for years! I only discovered them much late but wow...this is just absolutely amazing, even to watch now in 2021
Mako 44 whats wiith american rock nroll isint racial its for one and all brother if it pleasures the soul its for me you and every body theres enough sepreration in the world today lets leave aposative positive peace
Admonished by the critics, adored by the fans. One of the most creative powerhouse groups to come out of the era. Blew the freakin roof off of The Warehouse in New Orleans every time they played. A New Orleans favorite
i met Mark after a concert in louisiana ..i listened their music growing up ...Mark inspired me to learn guitar,,,it was an honor to talk to this man..

Actually Rundgren did some great things on American band, but only the obscure things, spacy guitar parts etc. but I think they were going down before Rundgren, for ex. Flight of the Phoenix a lousy album.

@Wayne Cooley Problem is, Yamaha never made an "SR650". They were 500 (499cc's) single cylinders. Mine has a rare Hi-Per-Kinetics Stage Two (of four) 650 engine. Stage Four was 716cc's! While stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, I had a 1968 BSA 250 Starfire. Kind of a piece of crap. This was 1974.
Saw them in the early 70s, best live performance of any band I saw at the time and I saw plenty. Not many bands have 2 great vocalists, all great muscians and with mark a great song writer. It just doesn't happen anymore
Uno de mis Grupos preferidos de ROCK, fuero grandes y espectacular su Música, arriba el GRAND FUNK, en aquel tiempo tenía 20 años y al oírlos hoy en día me inyectan energía, esto es Música, no las mamadas de hoy.
Andalusian Cadence. The 60's bands brought it out to the whole world. The rest is history. This is probably my favorite example. By the greatest band of the 60's. Thanks Mark. Opre Roma
I got to see them in 1974 during the We're an American Band tour at the Cow Palace, SAN FRANCISCO, Excellent light show 😊 to accompany the Rockin Music 🎶 🎵!
From the late 60's to the mid 70's my brother and I had a garage band with friends. This was one of my favorite covers I drummed to. My favorite driving sound! I still enjoy this in my 70's.
I kid you not, this is the first band I saw in concert, at the (barn) Coliseum, in Spokane, Wa. Oh man, what a band, what musicians, just what an experience! I was thirteen. Mark, you are my Hero!😁☮️✝️💕🕊️
I was only 12 years old, when this guys were realy Rocking , I, love this true American Rock N Roll, this guys are amazing , talented Rock N Roll band, just love this kind of music, Grand Funk Rocks the intire world !!!
These guys are ROCK. Mark on guitar with his great guns and guitar licks. Grand Funk definitely born from hard times and factory sweat of Michigan in the 70's. Love you guys still.
The originality - the expressiveness - the powerful vocals - the manic drumming - thundering bass - the guitar mastery - they etched their way into Rock history ..... Justin Bieber -- are you kidding me ?
I know, it's sickening. GFR had more talent than all hip-hop and rap together. Janet Jackson is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Who's next, Pit Bull? WTF??

It's a shame The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame hasn't included Grand Funk Railroad. They deserve every bit to belong in the Hall of Fame.
It almost hurts to watch this and think about Rock has disappeared. Do they even know what Rock is ? This IS Rock !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No they don't it's all crap now😔
Rock died somewhere around 1980 Pete Townshend announced it in an interview in 1980. He said rock is dead.!
I couldn't agree more!!
These guys were rock, hard and pounding listen to the drums the brutality of a lost love. Lived it this helped me sort it out.
True musician,Great player.......timeless!💞
TO ME, ONE OF THE TEN MOST INCREDIBLE ROCK BANDS EVER!!!!!!
Same for me, mate.
Great music and song I'm listening since I was 16 and now I'm 70 love ir
Mee too
I was right there with you.
Has it been that long ago? It went by so quick!
Also 70 and still love Grand Funk Railroad. Great music. And Mel Schacher was one of my inspirations as a bass-player. Always solid. Always amazing.
I'm Seventy-Six years old and still listening😊
71 n still listening. 😊 seen them in early 70's. Great band
65 & still listening & husband & son playing
Yo 66 y también sigo escuchándolos, aquí en México
I´m seventy four years old and still listening
Currently, is there any musical group that sings and plays a part similar to Gran Funk?
This song is one of my dad's favorites, it brings back memories of when I was little and he was fixing things around the house, he played his music while he worked, today it's my turn to continue the legacy...🎹🎤🍻😎
They don't make groups like this anymore Now this a Rock Band .
This has to be one of the greatest rock songs in history. How the hell is this band not in the Hall of Fame?
A journalist once asked Mark the same Question,His reply was,"Because I don't have a Brown Ring around my lips"!
Some Paul butterfeid please
Because is the Hall of Infame
Tedderman johns RR HOF sux.....
Because it's the worlds largest urinal. Piss on it.
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this live performance, I’m 68......I’m gonna watch it till I die. Yehaaaa
Simply one of the most underrated bands of all time.
They did it their way and only true fans understand that
🤘😎🤘 2020, and I've never stopped listening 🎧
Agreed johnnie
Io anche! 👋🏻🍀
Loved them! 50 years later still love them!
There was a gap from 75- to the present,for me, but there has been a revival of simple energy toward many songs I didn't really listen to.
Me Too! 😁🤟
Mark Farner one of Rocks greatest showmen.IMO
What the heck. Best band ever. Taught me how to express my love for rock. I am 66 and still love them. I am a drummer and a singer. This band taught me how to rock the best music and express my self
66 yrs old and still a major GFR fan! What's wrong with the Rock and Roll hall of fame? Can't someone petition for GFR to be admitted? The fans would really love it!!!

I like the way they make you think this song is over and then they just jam on like a classic heartbreaker.
What a beautiful song... written by a musical genius. Mark Farner is unheralded as far as what he really deserves.
He was seeking God
.he is a Christian... love him...
You are so right! I`m glad there are others who appreciate such pure rock creativity.
I'm 62 old, adore them, music of my young years.., I'll be rocker untill I die...

当時高校３年生・学園祭３人で完全コピーで演奏した時のことを思い出したわ・・・・マークファーナーｇｏｏｄ！！
うちの年の離れた兄貴が後楽園球場のLive見に行ってたって後から聞きました。しばらくして家にロコモーションの入っていたアルバム（たしか3Dのメガネの付いたやつ）があって勝手に良く聞きました。当時私は中学生。ハートブレイカーはエレキ入門者にはコード覚えるのにも最適だったな。アメリカンバンドも最高だった！
Greatest Band ever and best musicians in 1 band, should have been in RRHOF years ago for noone was better than this group.

Totally agree with you Just a few miles up the road from Flint where they're from Is another great band

Yeah me too❤❤❤Goo goo gaga😂😘😍
Favorite song all time , love the bar cords/beat/rifts/song/energy/group ☺
In my humble opinion the greatest
rock band of all time.
Grand Funk simply has more soul than anybody else. Their songs don't need to be complex compositions, Mark can bend a note and Don and Mel carry that note to perfection.
They did a song on the 'Phoenix' album titled 'Rock & Roll Soul'.
Great album and a classic song.
This is rock kids!! 🎉❤😮
Wow this song takes me back to the 70"s the best music that ever came out of that decade! Rock will never be this good again!
Oct 2022, and I still love these guys. I remember having my first quad stereo system with headphones, never got tired of listening to them.
Yeah the quad stereos were amazing. Long live GFR!
Haven't heard about quadrophonic in decades. AMAZING it lasted this long! Par-tay on!! 🤘👍🏻

Uno de mis Grupos preferidos de ROCK, fuero grandes y espectacular su Música, arriba el GRAND FUNK, en aquel tiempo tenía 20 años y al oírlos hoy en día me inyectan energía, esto es Música, no las mamadas de hoy.
Hard to believe this is the first song that Mark Farner ever wrote. Incredible.
really
i thought he wrote most of their songs
@@gregboardman915 he did write most of their songs. This was on their first album so one of the first.
Mark is the man who will touch your soul :) Thank you so much for this video bro
Homeboys,Flint,Michigan garage band,invited to play an outdoor festival in Fla. the rest is history.In 1975 GFR sold more records than ANY other band.
Cut my teeth on Grand Funk in the early 70s, great times and memories! Mark is the best!
...three guys and a dream'',,,way befor their time , 1 word = epic, thx for the memories !
One of the greatest trios of all time....then became 4 members which still makes them great!!!
Andalusian Cadence. The 60's bands brought it out to the whole world. The rest is history.
This is probably my favorite example. By the greatest band of the 60's. Thanks Mark.

❤ One of my First Concerts
I got to see them in 1974 during the We're an American Band tour at the Cow Palace, SAN FRANCISCO, Excellent light show 😊 to accompany the Rockin Music 🎶 🎵!
From the late 60's to the mid 70's my brother and I had a garage band with friends. This was one of my favorite covers I drummed to. My favorite driving sound! I still enjoy this in my 70's.
I kid you not, this is the first band I saw in concert, at the (barn) Coliseum, in Spokane, Wa. Oh man, what a band, what musicians, just what an experience! I was thirteen. Mark, you are my Hero!😁☮️✝️💕🕊️
Don and Mel are fantastic musicians, and Mark is a Musical Genius!
I was only 12 years old, when this guys were realy Rocking , I, love this true American Rock N Roll, this guys are amazing , talented Rock N Roll band, just love this kind of music, Grand Funk Rocks the intire world !!!
Yes, he was/is every damn man Ive ever known!! Another notch in their damned belt buckle! Thanks Dudes! Done well!
You can not not love this song and this band.
These guys are ROCK. Mark on guitar with his great guns and guitar licks. Grand Funk definitely born from hard times and factory sweat of Michigan in the 70's. Love you guys still.
I saw G.F.R. at Boston Garden in 1971.Time flies,I was 18 and now I'm 64.Listening to them now brings back memories of some very good times.
