Saw Grand Funk a few times way back when, wouldn't walk across the street to see them without Mark Farner

@itchyandred4131 Год назад

Me neither ✌️

@dukecraig2402 Год назад

I wouldn't walk across the street to see them if he was in it. I'm not into this whole 70+ year old rock bands from back in the day thing, I don't want to see a bunch of geriatric senior citizens trying to act like they're still in their glory days, I'd just as soon listen to my old records and remember them the way they were on the posters on my bedroom wall and the t-shirts I had and leave it at that.

@thud9797 Год назад

I saw them in 98, the last tour with Mark and they were absolutely incredible. Just loved those guys. And WAR opened the show and they were excellent as well, what a great night.

I was fortunate enough, with my band, to back up Mark Farner and his band back in the late 80's in Rome NY. What a great guy to chat with back stage. He was 42 yrs old (apprx )and looked unbelievable. Souded stupendous. .He was talking all about being on the screen in Times square and other great stories and wisdom. Left a great impression on us and I still have a place in my heart forever for this wonderful guy.

August 25, 1969 release of GFR's On Time , We're An American Band was released in 1973.

@ronroskowske6047 Год назад

Correct-first album was released in December of 1969.

@michaelshumakersr.7144 Год назад

Actually, their first album came out in 1969 but the band formed in 1968, so you're right - 55th anniversary is correct. What's going on is that the bogus GFR is advertising the "50th Anniversary Of We're An American Band" and "The American Band Tour 2023". If Don Brewer or Mel Schacher by some chance read this, shame on you for depriving the true fans an opportunity to see the REAL GFR one final time.

@philbrown1474 Год назад

I saw them in 71&72. Saw the reunion in 96. The 96 was musically more mature. All great. About a year ago a friend called me. Had tickets to Grand Funk Railroad. So I went. It was bad. For several reasons. I’ve seen Mark Farner three times. Farner is far and away musically ahead of the cover band. It’s a shame that Brewer and Shacher won’t do the right thing. The fans are taking the brunt of Brewer’s ego trip. And don’t give Mel a pass. He sides with Brewer. What’s a shame is the average younger fan probably doesn’t know the band’s current status and internal politics. So they’ll sell tickets. Just never again will I take a seat in their Sham Show.

@justpassinthru1191 Год назад

My favorite rock star!! Down to earth and a wonderful fascination for all things that the Lord Jesus Christ has to offer. Grand Funk Live and Phoenix albums were fantastic!! I saw them in Shreveport, LA in 1974 I think, I know they were touring the American Band Album. I had a backstage pass, I was sitting on the steps running up to the stage and Mark came up the stairs for a sound check, his shirt even touched my shoulder (I was 17 yrs old) dang I sound like a fascinated little girl. I could not see him so I moved to the side of the stage and was sitting on a drum seat watching my Idol playing that silver guitar. A guy came up and told me to not sit there, I showed him my pass and he smiled and introduced himself as the drum player for Wet Willie!

@wjniemi Год назад

If I had one word to describe Mark, it's "unsinkable". I love that about him, it's a virtue worth acquiring. It's too bad about what happened with GFR, that band was key in the formative years of my rock and roll. Life goes on, bands rise and fall, people get screwed, and Mark just rolls with it. It's a beautiful thing.

@iDONTdoFacebook Год назад

Farner still gettin’ a big charge out of having been a part of producing the corn that was put on the table at supper time when he was a kid makes me love the guy all the more!! He said it right when he used the word “GROUNDED” to the earth to describe himself. He is a grounded guy and a team player in this brotherhood of mankind. No pretentiousness -no arrogance -no “I’m famous so I’m better than the average Joe”. Farner is proud to be ONE OF US, the regular people. That is so rare and refreshing to see in a celebrity! He puts out love and respect and love and respect gets returned to him by his thousands of fans! I’m a fan of other musicians talents, but my feeling of admiration toward them as people on a personal level is nothing compared to what I feel toward Brother Mark Farner as I’ve easily felt of his generous warm caring soul thru the many interviews with him that I’ve watched. He’s one in a million! And a DANG good musician too!! Worldclass vocalist! Worldclass guitarist! Worldclass moves as a frontman! He’s got music running thru his veins! I think if you looked at Farner’s red blood cells under a microscope we’d find they’re all shaped like little music notes and guitars! Farner was, AND STILL IS, the FUNK in the Railroad. He’s the GRAND in it too! Always will be! This is my shout-out of Brotherly Love to Mark Farner! Thanks for all the years & decades of Good Singin’, Good Playin’!! May the rest of your days be filled with “EASY BREEZES” like the ones from those summers long ago on Uncle Jack’s farm! -Randall Arkansas USA

@kentkrajick5496 Год назад

from what i can gather mel/don had tricked mark into signing over the legal right to perform as "grand funk" to mel and don ONLY, so mark cant legally perform as grand funk- only mel and don can- so they get all the $$$ associated with performing as grand funk (split 2 ways) as opposed to not being scum bags, keeping grand funk between ALL 3 of them and splitting profits 3 ways- not 2. . GUESSING don/mel knew damn well mark was the heart of band, so they didnt want to take chance of being shut out...CRAZY, Huh??!!!!

@jayjones9720 Год назад

On a similar note, the Little River band, an Australian group, is currently touring without a single original member and I believe everyone in the band is American. Most of the original group is available and willing to tour but someone else owns the name and feels they can make more money without any of the original people there. And then there's deep purple, a band that has had so many people in it that you can't begin to think of it as anything like the original group. Yes is also another band where they are touring without a single original member, however the founder of the band is available but they won't let him in. It's too bad there's not some way to force bands to put disclaimers in front of their names.

After seeing Behind The Music video on RU-vid,and seeing what their 1st manager pulled on them….he got 16% of the bands earnings and the the band got 2% ….and then what The drummer pulled on Mark a few years back….it amazing how Mark has kept it together….I 100% feel without Mark there would have been no GF…they bit the hand that fed them…

One of my first records was Grand Funk Live. When my wife says something negative to me I belt out Mean Mistreater as best I can. What a voice Mark has.

GFR without Mark is like The Doors without Jim Morrison or Creedence without John Fogerty 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Mark, it's pronounced TINN-itus. Not tinn-EYE-tus.

@lovly2cu725 Год назад

EITHER WAY IS ALLOWABLE

@stevereed8786 Год назад

Who the hell can hear the difference?

@avlisk Год назад

Yup. As a long-time sufferer of tinnitus, you are correct. It's a pet-peeve of mine. "I-T-I-S" is a suffix meaning "inflammation of". Tinitus isn't inflammation of anything, and it's even spelled differently. Words matter. Derivations provide insight and foundations of understanding. (There will be those who call us "grammar police" for trying to educate and clarify. I call them deliberately ignorant.)

@derhandtrommler Год назад

wrong. I'm a musician and I've had it most of my adult life. Tin-uh-tus in how it's pronounced in England. In the US , it's Tin-eye-tus.

@tonystephens6858 Год назад

All depends on which side of the street you were raised. I've heard it both ways.

@samsonwoods5448 Год назад

Well you all, sad to say Don definitely took his "BACKSTABBIN SPIRIT FROM THE LATE TERRY KNIGHT", Just keep it movin Mark, they will reap what they have sown, Peace Yall!!!!!!!

@joekowalski182 Год назад

Same with Chicago and deep purple purple isn't purple without Blackmore and Chicago died when terry kath died . Grand funk isn't grand funk without Farner!!!

@RexCars1 Год назад

it's such a Shame that Don & Mel ousted Mark.. SIN.. BIG Shame on them.. Big love for " Mark Farmer "

@leonardlloyd1089 Год назад

Mark Farner IS Grand Funk, without Mark, they're just a cover band. Don and Mel disappointed me when they screwed Mark. Why can't they start a new band under another name and song list??? BECAUSE MARK WAS THE TALENT! Godspeed Mark! Don and Mel, you've got skills instrumentally, BUT YOU'RE RIDING MARKS COATTAILS!

@markkroner9800 Год назад

Love this guy!!!! Just turn Mark loose! They are all very comfortable with you John. David Paich was great also.

@1965RonnieP Год назад

I love the hat Mark. Good to see another icon rocker that made it through without getting contaminated by political BS. It's plain to see you are genius and genuine.

@susanjerrell9220 Год назад

Never knew that about the 15 min thing with garlic and to know it from Mark Farner!! (BTW garlic is a blood pressure normalizer; if it's low will elevate and if high will lower. Takes a few months so don't give up. )

@dvtco.2545 Год назад

Interesting comments about garlic. Thanks for off topic tidbits. Loved Grand Funk back in the days, early '70s. We're an American Band...yeah. great memories.

WE KNOW YOU WON'T BEAT YOUR OWN DRUM mark,so we'll do it for you,you are GRAND FUNK and proved it,nite after nite,show after show,YOUR PROWESS on instruments just mesmerizes me,then 1970, and now,they should forget all of the nonsense and tour with you,one more time,the money they love will be built in,and show 4 generations what ROCK IS,WAS,COULD BE,LEGENDS,i've got all of your albums in vinyl and otherwise,you guys were in the top 5 in the world,as a musician for 50 years,your string work is off the chain,vocals, yep killer

@lcypher5579 Год назад

Speaking for myself...Mark will always be the frontman for Grand Funk.

@marke6569 Год назад

I love Mark but can't agree on his opinion of Foreigner. Kelly Hansen is IMCREDIABLE as The Entire Band. But without Thom Gimbel they are not the same.

@johnfoster9224 Год назад

Loved Grand Funk I went to a Mark Farner concert at a place called the Russellville Ballroom in Davidson MICH in 1994. He played mostly Christian Rock which rocked, not soft pop that most contemporary Christian music is today. He came out and talked to fans afterwards and signed autographs too. Also reminds me of the Guess Who, only Gary Peterson is an original member, and Jethro Tull's frontman Ian Anderson remains.
