13. I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home) MARK FARNER GRAND FUNK RAILROAD SONG July 29, 2016

[@新保誠次]

I get heart warming feelings. Thank you, Mr Mark Farner. You are our Great Captain. Forever ! ! !

[@sweetfaith2011]

Mark Farner an amazing musician and proud Christian, love it!

[@shuroom57]

Jesus is our Lord. Mark is his messenger.

[@akimmbo]

I love this guy. Saw GFR at the beginning.couple of times....Mark Farner brings the energy, he defined GFR..and man, all these years later, that voice...I swear it's haunting how it just hits you right in the heart, Hell, I think he sounds the same or better than ever. Big Farner Fan. !! 👍

[@clubdoc]

akimmbo Well put !!!! As long as MF keeps touring .i will go! Just wish he would keep his conserve politics offstage.

[@akimmbo]

yeah, I hear you, everyone today has got to voice their political views. I wish all of them would just stick to their craft, they have exposure that's why they speak out, the little guy, or gal can't get word out to 100 million people at once like these actors and musicians. I know Farner is a god nut too these days, he talks about that in interviews, FINE. When he's playing, I just wanna hear him play. so yeah, I agree. But damn, he's still got it 👍

[@stephengiorgis7072]

clubdoc Nah, nice to see some talent have conservative views as well. Balance always Welcomed! God Continue to love Bless Mark Farner!

[@johneasler9967]

@Club Doc, At least Farner is a Conservative and not a filthy fucking liberal

[@5thribroarn304]

I told President Trump in a letter that I dedicate this GFR song to him after he was Elected, as he became The Captain of America's Ship, as it needed turning around. I've seen Mark perform this Live and yes, he's great!! There's no Grand Funk Railroad without him, that's for sure!! Shea Stadium 1973 All the way!!

[@louisdesouza2726]

Listening to Grand Funk on the 8 track tape , while cruising in my 67 GTO , will never forget those days circa early 70s . Recently saw Mark perform at Dania Beach Casino , he brought the house down . Love you brother.

[@shuroom57]

You, my friend, partook in AMERICA. So did I. Such freedom, such prosperity, such gratitude. God wants that for ALL of His children. It's up to US to make it happen. Btw, I drove a '66 Chevy Caprice.

[@atbglenn]

Mark's voice is as good as ever! I love the guy! Grand Funk ain't Grand Funk without him. That's for shit sure!

[@markhaus1329]

I agree no Mark Farner no Grand Funk Railroad.

[@harleypiper]

I remember my older brother playing the 8track of GFR. in 1974!! we sang their songs daily! along with emerson,lake and palmer.

[@unalienable5408]

Farner is gold! I never get tired of watching him.

[@AnaTorres-ee4dz]

I love you Mark Farner forever and ever! I love to see your still in the groove rock on!

[@UFOROX]

He still can belt out a tune.. Bless our veterans!

[@ronconrad2867]

Saw Mark back in '92 perform at a church in Scottsdale & he was gracious enough to visit for awhile afterwards. Quite a witness & a Godly man!!

[@donaldfifer605]

Some people are given the right to music Mark just happens to be one of the Best !!

[@jayblumetti9590]

@Donald Fifer; Yeah, the legal copyright ©️ to the music 🎶 🎵 they created!

[@gwrproducts2488]

Not what Don meant Jay, was referring to the gift God gave Mark… To express beauty with music and his voice. Few receive it so fortunately for us, Mark was able to share with all his fans.

[@bobstrunk]

More, More, More....Love Mark Farner. What a voice.

[@jeffrice4713]

One of greatest sing along songs ever. It goes on and on and on forever.........like Hey Jude, The Boxer, All the Young Dudes, We are the Champions.

[@elisebarthalow6075]

I was at this Streetsboro show.Mark and the band NEVER disappoint! When he said "I feel God in here"-he wasn't kidding,because as a believer,I felt the POWER and was definitely IN THE SPIRIT. Can't wait to see these guys again.They are the real deal!

[@kellywhite1285]

Elise Barthalow I'm a Boro guy who moved away a long time ago (Class of 75). My sisters still live there and they didn't tell me about this show. They are in trouble now!

[@michaelaskates9523]

brings back the love for Grand Funk Rail Road.

[@ronnietoots6797]

I am 62 now and will never ever forget the lovely tunes these guys kicked out....they rocked hard and had a take no prisoners approach!!!! todays popppers haven't a clue (they love to sing falsetto, lololol).... these GFR guys kick.

[@philipbrailey]

Thanks for posting. He's still got it.

[@brianhenrycoraizin7667]

I am so glad Mark has recovered lost ground after the bad way his brothers of the Original Grand Funk Railed him out of his rights as lead vocalist and the power behind the success of GFR. He has been restored. Praise God. Great voice after so many years and he still pitches well. Great stuff Mark and the new brothers!!

[@drkrumatters5759]

GO MARK!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!

[@davemanning8204]

Man when I was a teen musician in the early 70s I thought GFR were absolute gods...... so glad to see Mark is still with us & sounding great as ever..... thank you guys for the music then & now helped mold my life.... always will love ya'll MyDaMnWoRd 😎🔫

[@davidtrail2696]

Coming to see you in April, Mark. Been listening to you since I discovered my dad's copy of E Pluribus Funk when I was a pre-teen. Thank you for inspiring me to sing! God bless!

[@johnlynam3256]

amazing, still got the voice and passion to sing like that after all the years. keep on rocking in the Free world!!!

[@sylvesterbestertester1013]

I remember when I was in the Navy and we would be coming back in from a long deployment and the captain would always play something on the intercom like Willie Nelson On the road again, or Homeward bound by Simon and Garfunkel and of course a frequent one would be Closer to home. It really was a great tune for any military guy.

[@michaelstratton6701]

Mark farner is an all around musician, can do it all

[@joelstevens370]

Incredible...no FUNK without FARNER!

[@kittentude]

Nothing but pure love for Marks voice!!! Then and Now!! Thanks for this latest video!

[@dougat]

Mark Farner! Unbelievable talent! Better now than ever!

[@mramm64]

Been a fan for almost 50 years, whoa!

[@gurgisjones1120]

Great stuff! So good to see. He's got the fountain of youth going, and doing at least a few important things right. God bless him.

[@carter1574]

I mean...how GD good is this?? Wow. Keep on keepin on Mark!

From my hometown Flint, MI. Love you, Mark!

[@opel9170]

Don and Mel are very talented musicians but Mark was/ is Grand Funk Railroad. would like to see a reunion

[@vectortonto1]

Not going to happen

[@mawortman72]

I saw the FAKE GF in Merced, about 2012. ASked Don about it and he just turned his back on me, and walked away. Prick.

[@johneasler9967]

@mark wortman: Don is such an asshole, even his first wife committed suicide

[@Dragon-lb6ky]

Mark says Alright!

[@gshock3092]

And this is why Mark is an institute to Michigan!

[@julies1ify]

Amen Brother

[@marineone8805]

YES! Please do that. I would appreciate it very much! THANKS for the music!

[@michaelhalstead7532]

Mark is a brilliant singer songwriter and guitarist. So talented

[@trilbywilby7826]

Nice job capturing close-ups of his fingers on the neck of the guitar. I love watching them find the notes. Thanks for the upload.

[@bobbyy9296]

he can still sing, greetings from the Philippines..

Farner ...IS....Grand funk railroad!!!!!

[@cynthiaedwards6706]

Dang! He’s still got that great voice!!

[@stellaercolani3810]

Lots of great memories listening to their music.

[@ronniestjohn1247]

As an ex Navy ABH3, this song rings true most with our great Navy aviator's who, I regret, did not make it back to their ship. Yankee Station...1969. That being said, God bless every person who has, or is serving in our GREAT MILITARY!!!!

[@harrygaul4475]

I didn't know the Mark Farner can play drums - WOW!

[@russblack443]

Mark can pretty much play anything. He wrote foot stomping music minutes after getting his Hammond b3 organ

[@DavidLopez-tb5ts]

I was 10 year old when my dad start playing his record long play live.. love it

[@CasonovaCorkClub]

Somebody tell me why Grand Funk Railroad ISN'T in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame?

[@AliG-xh1jm]

They needed room to get...excuse me I just vomited a little in my mouth...Madonna in.

[@MrJgapa]

don't see the MC5 in there either...makes ya think there is some sort of bias against the home of rock in roll.. but real Detroiters could give a fuck less...

[@Mike_Webb78]

@Rudy1959 Romero Greed?? Well for one, WTF would that have to do with it???? Two, Don is the greedy asshole, but it still shouldn't effect them getting the RRHOF....

[@julies1ify]

@@MrJgapa, Amen Brother ! Detroit Vs Everybody

[@andrethompson6857]

Exacly. Any group that can chase Led Zepplin off the stage should have been in there long ago

[@susybenavides4587]

J'adore !!

[@tamarabradshaw4799]

What can't Mark do? He does it all.

Even preaches his conservative rhetoric all night long. HEY>> I love the troops too...as do ALL liberals and TRUE Americans.

I was at this show and would love to see the rest of it.

[@rondyd9701]

I subscribed so let's see what you got!!! Mark Farner appears to be in great shape and sounding better than ever! Christian, me too! Dedicated to the Veterans around the world, this is a beautiful thing. Music from musicians, no silly dance routine with McDonald's Drive thru window earpiece for a fake microphone!! Call me old, but I'm glad I got to grow up listening to this kind of music and going to concerts!

[@anabelwills7288]

I was there and Mark tossed me one of those drumsticks!

[@ernestonavarro9543]

[@moorespat558]

Farner was almost 68 for this show. Looks and sounds great.

[@N324F]

I was twelve or so when I first started paying attention to the rock LPs that my older brother was listening to in his room. Mark, Don, & Mel was just such an album. I feel very fortunate to have been exposed to rock music of this age, just slightly ahead of what pre teen boys listening to AM pop , like myself, may have been listening to.

[@shannonkelty]

Fantastic song way back when & fantastic now.

[@RonnieMinh]

Great is great, and this is great music. I was so fortunate to open for GFRR at the Las Vegas Convention Center, I think if was 1974? not sure, but it was Grand Funk RR, Freddy King and my band Skurow. Sold out, about 10,000. people.

[@gwrproducts2488]

We did the warmup for Bloodrock, who was the warm up for GFR. What a fun night us, “under the stars with the stars” at Pirates World (Dania Beach, FL) 1971

[@duder9245]

Don and Mel should apologize and bring back their old friend. Mark I know what they did was a Dick move but show your upper hand and create the magic you guys once did. I know you don’t look too highly on my people; but I’m a true music fan, and the spirit you Don and Mel pushed through those speakers are / were palpable.
