Mark Farner was a masterful guitar player. I bought the E Pluribus Funk album back in the 70's and it remains one of my favorite albums. It was mostly an anti-Vietnam war album. Good songs.
Mark Farner , the lead singer and guitar player wrote this song when he was 15 years old ! !!! Don Brewer ,the drummer sans his shirt in the same concert= on the song= TUNC. drum solo. Now , more great songs, I can Feel Him In The Morning" , Closer to home, Foot Stompin Music, Paranoid, Sins A Good Mans Brother",, Lonliness, People lets Stop The War", We're an American Band. GREAT SONGS! and many more= Some Kinda Wonderful, Black Licorice, . Love yall and peace..
All great songs. I don’t think they did a bad song. And know they never put on a bad convert. Now at Shea stadium that out preformed Led Zeppelin which did not get to play. 🤗
GFR was one of the most popular bands during the mid70s with rockers, along with Steppenwolf and Led Zepplin. "Inside Looking Out" live is awesome. You will dig it. I guarantee. Other good songs are mentioned below by another poster.
Love you girls, love some GFR too !! Saw them twice in '71 and they KILLED !! Never disappointed, 110% ALWAYS. It was only "Mis-management" that lead to their fall from grace. SAD...
They were so popular when I was high school that our BOE chartered 2 Grayhound Busses to take 80 students 150 miles , in Feb. 1973. Great concert I've seen at least 200 concerts in my life, GRAND WAS THE BEST !!!!!!!. The BEATLES SOLD OUT SHEA STADIUM IN 7 WEEKS .. IT TOOK ONlY GRAND FUNK 3 DAYS >>>!!
@@williammcdonald3922 one of my favorites. I was trying to give them some songs they may have heard on the radio. I love Grand Funk, got to meet Mark back in Feb!
When I was in high school, late 60's, GFR was hugely popular. You always heard them at parties (along with Credence Clearwater Revival). The music critics dismissed them as an overamped garage band but we didn't care what the critics said and neither did they. Their music was high energy fun and that's what matters when you're a teenager
If you like drummers check out " In A Gadda Da Vida " by Iron Butterfly , from early 1968 , be aware it's 17 minutes long . Also check out * You Keep Me Hanging On " by Vanilla Fudge , from 1967 . Enjoy yourselves.
For years the only Grand Funk Railroad song they played on the radio was Closer To Home (I'm Your Captain.) I'm glad you chose this. I also remember really liking Aimless Lady.
GFR was as huge as it gets in the 70's. Saw them in 73 and I was amazed as it was one of my earliest concert especially with 30,000 people. Love you guys excitement. Check out some of the Shea Stadium concert. Incredible!
I saw them live in them live in the 70's&80's Mark Farner the guitarist is part Native American. He always wore a band on his right bicept and did not like to shirts to represent it😮 they were whats called hard rock..😊 I am surprised Lulu has not mentioned his hair lol!
Some other great Grand Funk tracks to check out are... Foot stomping music,Sins a good mans brother,Hooked on love,Country road,,Were an American band and too many more to list.
Hi gals. The bass player is amazing aswell, I love the time when they could be heard. Now a days you almost never hear them, they just disappears in all the sounds and that’s a pity 😢😔. Loved your reaction as always 😍❤️❤️.
I think their version of Heartbreaker is the best among all rock band versions. Don't forget American Band, Some Kind of Wonderful, Loco-motion and I'm Your Captain.
congratulation on your reactions, they are very good, but you need to react to the footstomping music song from that concert, I recommend it to you. it is extraordinary that music brings the family together
Mark Farner was quite the hottie back then !!!......i'd love to be sitting right in front of him, but i sure wouldn't mind sitting behind him, either !!.....LOL
