[@michaelstratton6701]

Mark farner and Rick derringer without guitars, that's a SIN, oh thank God someone give Rick derringer a guitar

[@Mff48]

weird seeing Mark without his axe!!!

[@tamarabradshaw4799]

Mark Farner always has me feeling better than alright 🎵❤️🎶🎸🎶❤️🎵

[@Mff48]

we meet again tamara lol....guess you love Mark as much as me eh???

[@austinteutsch]

All of these guys are the very foundation of rock and roll. And this song brings them all together. It's obvious all the egos were checked at the door, as it should be. I love these super talented guys.

[@roseblake5803]

Mr Farner sure has some funky moves !!!! This is what music is about, everyone performing and enjoying it.

[@Mff48]

i have a sneaky burning suspicion Mark was a blackman in a former life!!! he loves his funk and he can really move or a blackman in a white mans body!!! he sure got it!!!!!

[@impalaman9707]

I'm telling you--he may be white and Native American--but his SOUL is PURELY AFRICAN!

[@TheCheryl57]

Old hippies or not these guys still know how to rock! R&R forever!

[@jacciwilliams8992]

Love, love, love these guys. Mark Farner, you were my first (rock concert that is)!!! 1972 at the Hollywood Sportatorium in Hollywood, Florida!!! Dave Mason, you cannot ever stop recording, there's just so much talent in you!!! All of you, just keep on rockin'! And also, please, if you haven't heard and accepted it already, let Mark tell you how to live FOREVER!!! Blessings!!!

[@Tinkquilts]

I was at that same concert. A girl managed to get up on stage and it took 3 guys to pull her off Mark. Would have taken at least three times that if I had gotten my hands on him! 🤣

[@lamedullsville]

Amazing. Dave Mason is soooooo wonderful in a live performance.

[@timothycooper2743]

Rick Derringer makes everything fresh ❤

[@rodmackenzie6335]

The musical experience is all about sharing. Well done guys!

[@TheJetfighter666]

Brother Mark hits the nail on the head with this one. Dave's voice is still good and his playing sounds as good as ever.

[@MrMojabo]

Watching these videos is a good night for me.

[@suzanneswanson7528]

Fabulous! Loved these guy way-back-when and still do. Had the pleasure of seeing & meeting Mark this past summer. Bless him; he is wonderful ! Always loved this tune...:-)

[@warriordragonify]

BIG smile on my face as I AGAIN stumble across a Gem on KZbin...Thanks for the Upload!

[@debbieedwards711]

Far out man!!!! Doesn't get any better. Thanks for uploading.

[@shotdonkey]

yes, grand funk version, on "survival" (1971); which is why dave mason invited mark farner to join in in the first place! if you`ve never heard grand funk do the song, you sure missed something - but that can easily corrected: simply type in "grand funk feelin alright" right here on youtube. like I said, grand funk`s version rules - and yes, I also own the traffic, dave mason and joe cocker versions…but grand funk was my introduction (in 71), so I guess that stuck!

[@cheryl3anne3jesse3]

They are sure havin' a good time. Good to see they keep on keepin' on.

[@jac_2778]

Outstanding! Happy to see some video from this concert. My wife's b-day gift that night. A night filled with good music and good times. Thank you!

[@Tiremanwms]

Amazing how 2 chords with the right beat and words can sound so good., Dave your the man!

[@hapax87]

They look they're having way too much fun !! ( boy , am I jealous !! )

[@Mff48]

That was a real treat!!!

[@alphilips6212]

Absolutely Brilliant. Arena rock royalty right there!

[@cathykuhles5982]

Mark has such a great voice you guys ROCK

[@blue-fj9ky]

Wow great energy in this performance!

[@cathykuhles5982]

Thanks for showing us a great time we were jamin O yeah

[@unalienable5408]

These guys were all my favorites growing up

[@martino5457]

Good to see Gerald Johnson on bass. 😎

[@janoack1]

Wow, Mark's voice is still Great, seen him two times in the 1980's he can sing and play the guitar

[@michaelstratton6701]

Ah, mark farner can sing and play the guitar, keyboards,drums, harmonica and bass, were you been,and I think trombone in high school

[@msmith5121]

Mark could step in and sing, play the guitar, drums, organ and add some harmonica too, on this song....not just sing. No One else on that stage has that kind of talent. One of the most talented musicians ever....

[@tamarabradshaw4799]

MARK!!!♥️

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Gerald Johnson alright That's popping bass on Steve Miller's SHU BA DU MA MA MA

[@Maralynmaralyn]

I LOVE Dave Mason!!

[@timothycooper2743]

The band is awesome ❤

[@impalaman9707]

I'm thinking Dave Mason does not MIND AT ALL the way Grand Funk Railroad added some "funk" to his sad little ballad. I think he's proud of the way Mark "funked" it up!

[@linnemeyerhere]

Dave is just the best ! Alone Together is my Deserted Island album pick !

[@NYTOPHX]

I WENT TO THIS AWESOME CONCERT WHEN THEY WERE IN PHOENIX!!

[@edwardvasquez3678]

This song has played in my head, motivating me to do better... move on, "stop believing in all your lies, there's too much to do before I die!"

[@andrewmantle7627]

I love this song

[@burninvernonmiller5103]

Grand Funk's version was on their album Survival.

[@terriwoodrow]

lawdy i love this!!!

[@solodad001]

That was cool!

[@phoenixrising2645]

The good vibrations never die!!!

[@michaelnivens6267]

[@Olegzyan]

old rock vets really kick ass!

[@rwwelch56]

yea he is great isn't he....always has a great line going and shows his love for playing..

[@PAR33401]

Great player and a sweetheart of a guy! So funny!

[@joanvaneyck1972]

I have seen Dave Mason 2 times in a small venue in Florida. Dam this man can rock! However I wished I could have seen Grand Funk. Maybe if the play one for the fans right!

[@martino5457]

Love ya Dave!

[@michaelwilkinson7638]

Gerald Johnson, MONSTER!

[@lauracuriel2031]

Wow lo mejor q he oido en esta pandemia q recuerdos siii yupi !!

[@cattarbell46]

Traffic did it, Rare Earth does it, Three dog night and Grand Funk too as well as Joe Cocker.

[@garybelenke4370]

That was fun.

[@DoroWarrior]

INCREDIBLE!

[@shotdonkey]

all said and done, grand funk`s version rules!

[@andys9337]

Oldie but sure goody!!!!!

[@goodluckfourleafclover9324]

Great groove...awesome.

[@wreichard]

Mr. Derringer....... we need to jam!

[@jcmarder3519]

Sublime.

[@Strutmasters]

If my memory is correct, Three Dog Night did a version on one of their B-sides. I do love Grand Funk's version though.

[@olly8]

Damn I love seeing that Mark still has his long hair ❤ If you've still got it...Flaunt it!! This may be from 2011 but still has that stank on it.✌🏽🤘🏼💥🔥

[@rainertrebbin-vf7nt]

alright now

[@OrdoSanctiBenedictus]

love this

[@mistyb420]

You and me both! :)

[@cbryandad]

I wanna play with these guys...

[@jameshubbard1071]

Definitely dug the video but would've loved it more if we got front view when Dave & Rick were trading guitar licks on the dual lead part instead of the rear view during that important part of the song. Hey Dave & Mark sounding great on lead vocals & ofcourse Mark's dancing ❣

[@tamarabradshaw4799]

Mark just doesn’t look right without a guitar in his hands. Great video tho. Thanks for posting 👍

[@Mff48]

thought the same looks odd to see him without one!!!

[@CharlesCCRidesChandler]

I'll be darned..!..here a groovy little cut I ain't seen till right now!!!...Owww!!...:)O(:..

[@CharlesCCRidesChandler]

Mark is that boy in the light t-shirt with the flowing long hair!!!...hehehe...mmmm...:)O(:..

[@CharlesCCRidesChandler]

Dang!!!...that is some damned good shiaaattt!!!!!...:)O(:..

[@CharlesCCRidesChandler]

And of course Ricky is that boy with the 'red' guitar and the long sleeved 'black' shirt!!!...)O(...

[@dwill123]

You can keep your Adele's, Gaga's, Bieber's, Rihanna's, Kanye's, JZ's, and Beyoncé's. I'll take Mason and company any day of the week over those so-called "superstars".

[@johnfarmer4099]

Way to show the back of the band during the Derringer solo??

[@johnknottenbelt2502]

Yeah I agree that Grand Funk Railroad did a fine version of this brilliant number - check out the album :Survival". If you haven't yet heard that album & their version of Feeling Alright, do so soonest. I know that Dave Mason is a genius & most of the stuff he did is Brilliant ! Check out his Live Concert with another genius Jim Krueger (DVD), Live @ Perkins Palace . An acoustic Trip !

[@michaelnivens6267]

Grand Funk's version Is my favorite

[@Mff48]

yeh, you right!

[@charliedelregno2354]

well done actually fuckin terrific

[@kmsmith49]

Gerald Johnson's a great player.

[@PAR33401]

Try a touch of kindness, man. With regards to Mason, he's been through more ups and downs than you know. At 67 he's put on weight. Big deal! He's a kind, generous and talented man and has given the world a hell of a lot of great music. Peace!

[@paulinwoburn9680]

Around 2000, I had my TV on and I saw this guy playing a Dave Mason song. And he sounded exactly like Dave, but the guy singing was this bald, more than chubby man. It took me 10 minutes to realize that it was Dave Mason. I laughed my ass off and enjoyed the hell out of the rest of the concert. I've been a fan of his since the 70s and he's still a great musician and his voice is still as great as it was back in the day.

[@ngorepierre-marie5832]

Formidable révolution papy rock

[@rudytormento9753]

Dave Mason wrote the song but he's playing it Joe Cocker style with Grand Funk's Mark Farner as guest. He completed the circle.

[@impalaman9707]

Don't forget--Mark's band GFR put their own spin on Dave's number in 1971!

[@rudytormento9753]

@@impalaman9707 I know that! That's the first version I ever heard and it's still my favorite to this day.

[@rudytormento9753]

@@impalaman9707 Not to mention Grand Funk ALWAYS did put their spin on the songs they covered.

[@impalaman9707]

@@rudytormento9753The fact that they were only ever known for their remakes by the public at large is really sad. Covers only account for less than 5 percent of their total musical output. The fact is, they probably did more original music than anyone in the industry. In fact, their first album was ALL original material written by one man, Mark Farner. How many bands can say that their first album was ALL originals?

[@rudytormento9753]

@@impalaman9707 You're absolutely right . But this being said , their covers are terrific!

[@mistyb420]

Think this is my favorite video I've got! LOL

[@patricialambert3110]

If ANYONE in music could be best described as a "black man in a white man's body". its Mark Farner! This song was MEANT for him to sing, if Dave Mason only knew who back in '67 to best to give this song to after he wrote it. Unfortunately, that had to wait another 4 years

[@Mff48]

omg ive just comment the same thing!! he can sure wine up his waist!! said it all along he IS a black man in a white mans body!! what a guy!!! so much rythem.......

[@playinguitarful]

Mark Farner with no guitar?

[@marklemley2460]

playinguitarful I know, right?

[@sammccue500]

Rick Derringer with no guitar? What the hell? One of the pickers ever.

[@donf3739]

He probably sold it to buy a shirt.

[@mistyb420]

Grand Funk Version? I've never heard of that....Joe Cocker re-did the song, but Mr. Mason is the original writer of this song!! Nothing compares to seeing all these guys on stage!

[@mrcool665]

Did the bass player play in the Steve Miller band?

[@kenadams591]

WTF? Give Mark a guitar already...hahaha

[@chuckatkins267]

who is the bass player and what happened to him.......he got replaced?

[@BeauTokyo]

Bassist is Gerald Johnson. Maybe his claim to fame was that he was the Steve miller bassist for along time. Did a killer "Popeye the Sailor" bass solo which isn't an easy riff.

[@EmpressOfWyoming58]

Damn, those back up sangers sound like they walked right in from the early 1970s. Lol.

[@donaldmcrae5610]

thats me and my ex wife on the front far left,,awsome concert

[@cathykuhles5982]

Hey brother Mark I know Jessy must o loved that Beret my husband Dennis gave ya for him you guys Rock!!! See ya Cat 😎

[@OgnyanNachev]

Yes, the original was Dave Mason's, but the song became a hit with the performances of Joe Cocker, Tree Dog Night and Mark Farner!

[@RZLAND]

Gee you're just the perfect human. All species should model themselves after you tiny tim.

[@robertyancey5712]

MR. DAVE MASON LOOKS LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT HUMAN BEING FROM HIS YOUTH!!!

[@Mff48]

would that be 45 years ago???? dont we all??? give the guy a break....Mark too has aged but hes still that gorgeous talented man that he was back then,love em all and thank them for the soundtrack of my life!!

[@flyingphobiahelp]

Yeah. True. Funny how sim ppl don’t change much as they age whilst others r unrecognisable? Eg Jagger vs Richards

[@dqdish]

Mark is still vital as he ages, the rest are some kind of parody of what they used to be

[@Mff48]

Mark is a gorgeous man,aged gracefully still looks fabulous!

Who the hell is trying to take selfies? Haha

[@johnmontagnamusic]

+Ken Adams That's me! I was the "house" bassist on that tour, backing up the artists who didn't have their full band with them: Mark Farner, Gary Wright and Felix Cavalerie. This was the last song of the last show of the tour, hence the "party" atmosphere. Those "selfies" are actually video clips, which I have somewhere....

[@jayjackson9014]

John Montagna I Like ur sneakers. FYI u rock brother. 🎸👍u looked like u were having a blast.
