GRAND FUNK RAILROAD - HEARTBREAKER | REACTION

[@TheRagratus]

The "band" on his arm is him acknowledging his Native American ancestry- he has been honored by the Lakota Sioux and by the Cherokee for his contributions to Native Americans.

[@dominicksforza3484]

Its amazing how many people don't know that, how else but an attitude of the Cherokee and a respect of and patriotism, most importantly I found out he's a man who loves God and Jesus, I believe the combination of all this is the only way to get past the most disgusting betrayal a man can experience, in the music world at least.

[@karensheline5183]

rag ratus Very cool ✌️

[@robertrohde4579]

I was raised being told I was Sioux but it turns out I am not native but part black instead. I had fun doing Indian guide as a child instead of being a cub scout. I respect the culture even if it isn't part of my ancestry!

[@eliseoalejos1865]

Peter O - You got that right!!! Judgement Day Blues....one of the rockingest Blues songs in Christian music and a No Compromise message..

[@pamelabustos8693]

I was looking at his profile and thinking...he looks native... .I never realized he was Native but that facial profile don't lie...just beautiful.

[@CasonovaCorkClub]

*You're right, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD belongs in The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!!!*

[@dominicksforza3484]

Long ago they were due, they got snubbed every year but I just discovered that Mark Farmer's guitar is in the hall of fame, but the guy playing it with the other 2 other guys has the guitar in but not him. Is it me or is that a slap upside the head to us all who are invested with GFR, Mark is ripped off by Don and that is fu*ked up... They play Mark's music and he gets kicked out of the band, then they play Marks music and still call themselves Grand Funk. You're a piece of shit Don and FU to Mel for letting it happen.

[@sheripetrey1882]

Let's pretend it's the 60's and start a write campaign?!!!!! Like my brother says" Micheal Jackson'in the R&R HOF and he even called himself the King of Pop?!! Go figure what they're thinking?!!!!

Screw the rock n roll hall of fame. Rappers in there? They're NOT rock n roll.

[@joanpeaden3282]

You said it!

[@TheFamilyharmony]

Damn straight

[@xiropigado]

Widely acknowledged as one of the BEST live bands ever.

[@bobsbarnworkshop]

Mark wrote Heartbreaker when he was 16 recovering from a football injury and mom got him a guitar to pass the time... which started it all!

[@SMccrate01]

Adrian Belew (from across the Ohio River from Cincinnati--where Iive--in Ludlow Kentucky) started teaching himself guitar when he was forced to be home from school getting over a bout of mono.

What a rock & roll band looks like 🎸🎸🎸

[@moonshinesmooth2940]

Grand Funk Railroad should be in the rock & roll hall of fame !!!

[@murraypft]

The critics HATED them. The fans LOVED them. I first heard them at a 7th-8th grade dance. "Foot Stomping Music" was the song. I've been a fan ever since.

[@EricBlackmonGuitar]

Three, I said 3 musician's making all the glorious NOISE! GRAND FUNK was simply OUTSTANDING!

[@ldbagwell]

I think there is 4, keyboard player?

[@alanwallace5342]

Later, around 1973/74, GFR added keyboard player Craig Frost. This performance includes his keys and bg vocals. There's a terrific live recording, pre-Frost, of the trio doing this song. Damn, they were good.

[@jameslanning8405]

Actually, if you notice here, there's another in the group... The keyboards! There's 4 here.

[@karenwarner7863]

Jamal, I’m a grandmom!! But I was a wild child of the 70’s. This was my favorite group, which drove my mother crazy! I played there album all the time! Thanks Bro for recognizing their incredible funk!

[@glynnborders762]

Grand Funk is from Flint, Michigan. I grew up in Detroit during their rise to fame. "Inside Looking Out" was my first rock-crush in 1971-2. Funk is in their name for a reason. These boys got soul! They were huge amongst Black kids in the D. The best part is, Mark Farner is a regular guy. They TOTALLY belong in the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame.

[@TheRagratus]

Yeah, the drummer is going off- ON A 3 PIECE DRUM KIT!!! More does NOT mean better.

[@HortHawg]

5 piece actually. Snare, rack tom, 2 floor toms, and a kick. You are very correct when you say more does not mean better. Brewer was a BEAST on the drums.

[@GenerationXT]

You got it, especially in this same concert where they do the song T.N.U C, and Don goes into a drum solo.

[@reconnsupernaturalsyndicat1493]

Don is one of my all time favorite drummers. So raw and powerful. A huge influence in my playing.

[@sarahtonen4873]

[@jackrivera8119]

are you referring to neil pert........ LOL

[@andrewwhite1585]

Mark farner (singer/guitarist) is one hell of a guitarist and singer, very underrated, amazing band

[@shotgunblast28]

Agreed!

[@xiropigado]

Not underrated by music fans, and that is what counts.

[@johneasler9967]

Another masterpiece written by Mark Farner (first song he wrote) and another great review by Brother Jamal

[@sassycat5856]

Back in the day you went to bed on Friday's listening to FM stations playing whole albums and rock concerts of all these great bands. At least that's how I fell asleep at night.😊😊😊😊😊

[@ncexnyc4466]

Ah yes the great old days of Album Oriented Rock in all its free form glory. Hardly any talking and very few commercials.

[@garykelly7422]

Heart breaking that these guys aren't in the hof. Definitely deserve it ☮️

[@MrToband]

Back when rock bands were real musicians, not like today where anyone can do what they do.

[@howardgriffith71]

Back when you had to have real talent today's music is total garbage

[@MsSunshineDiva]

I've been a fan of Grand Funk Railroad since I was a very young teen. These guys are BOSS!

[@lblueheron4098]

" Crap boo boo doogie" you nailed it. And yes, it has been an embarrassment of musical riches for those of us who came up in life with the 60's and especially the 70's as the soundtrack of our lives. Makes my heart happy when the younger generations discover the music and see how awesome it all was, and still is. Really great music never dies. That's why I appreciate you and your reactions. Rock on Jamal!

[@scottcolman9757]

When I seen them in Denver 1975. Mark reached down and grabbed a joint from the audience and took a huge toke during the song Inside looking out.. 😎👍🏻

[@mckennabaldwin2222]

That's interesting, cause remember that little talk he did on the live album ..where he said something to the effect of..."Brothers and sisters..there are people out there that look like your brother and sister. .uhhhh, but they're not. When they hand you something....don't take it. Don't take it-OK?" Love these guys. Appreciate ya brother Jamal. Really enjoy your reactions.

[@fmiller208]

This is what we loved in the late 60's and 70's 3 players could is all it took. Others added more keyboards and on. Time to LIVE Life and Music! Grand Funk says it ALL! Still love to this Day. Glad you like it as much as We do.

[@jamespaivapaiva4460]

Nobody put MORE BALL'S into a performance! I was blessed to see them in the day! Great job keep rockin' peace

[@themoviedealers]

The three false endings were like standard for hard rock bands in the 1970s.

[@twwtjohns]

I don't know if they were ever executed more successfully than in this song. Those were three legitimate endings.

[@franktrainer169]

They all did 2-3 encores as well

[@kathys6402]

GFR had added a keyboard player by this song, another favorite. Mark's voice is always on point, along with the musicianship of every single player in this band.

[@HendrixJHE]

The keyboard player was actually also in the pre-GFR band that was lead by their manager Terry Knight.There 3 songs that became GFR staples that were recorded in 1968 when they were named The Pack. Into the Sun was one of the 3. It was Terry Knight and The Pack, but then Terry stepped back and managed them and their name changed to Grand Funk Railroad.

[@bobbyg7102]

Mark played keyboards and guitar on many of their early songs prior to Craig Frost. The man was the ultimate front man. And he's still rockin in his 70's.

[@raymondharris8814]

Frost also from Flint

[@lizardkingof1968]

Today's music is crap boo-boo dookie 😂, you're killin' me smalls! Love your reactions, keep on keepin' on.

[@howardgriffith71]

You absolutely right today's music is garbage

[@susandale5767]

Another great one from Grand Funk!!! He (Mark Farner) always wore that band on his arm and I never saw him in a shirt but, that was fine with me! I've had the hots for him for over 50 years!!! 😘

[@michaelmiller8036]

JAMEL YOUR REACTION IS PRICELESS AND YOU KNOW WHAT REAL MUSIC IS I WISHED YOU COULD HAVE GROWN UP IN THE 70S IT WAS AMAZING !!!

[@cstarv]

Farner wrote songs as well as played several instruments, this band is so underrated. They made sales because of their live shows since their songs were longer than most radio formats they weren't played as much. hey don't judge clothes we were all wearing polyester clothes. his mother was Cherokee so the arm band was probably a nod to that. They were greet in concert. Not sure why not in hall of fame, I think suing their manager didn't sit well with some of the corporate types although their manager should have been sued for taking advantage of them.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

That seemed to be the story of so many bands back then, working their hearts out just to get screwed out of their earnings.

[@larryt8420]

What their manager did to them was horrible, and he should have been, well they won't let me say it! He literally took all the bands instruments, put them in the semi and drove off with them! They had to start all over! It was a big mess in the day. But with this talent you can't stop them! Fantastic!

[@checkmateking2854]

@@larryt8420 Terry Knight got caught up in karma.. He died in 2004 when his teen-aged daughter's boyfriend Donald A. Fair murdered him... He was stabbed multiple times by the boyfriend.

[@larryt8420]

That's exactly what I had in mind for him! Thanx man!

[@motfc8]

Terry was a P.O.S. He took 16% And stole the band's publishing rights. They found out and fired him 3 months before their contract expired, and HE sued them for 53 million. A special place for him...

[@Lillyjrz]

Thank you for bringing back memories with my Dad listening this band, specially with this song. It's our favorite, my Dad told me was released 6 years before I was born. He raised me listening to this kind of music and I am doing the same with my babies. Thank you and keep doing your great job. I love the way you enjoy the music 😁🤗😁🤗😁

[@paulpresto673]

One other thing I wanted to add...when I saw them in Tampa (when they FIRST came out in 1969 when I was 16) I have never, to this day, ever saw such a stage presence as this band gave. Mark Farner was all over that (I'd say about 100 foot) stage, and I was exhausted just watching him. Farner gave everything he had to his audience - and THAT'S why they were such a gigantic force in the music world....he left it all on that stage. When I left the packed (HUGE) concert Hall...there must have another 100,000 fans at the doorway trying to get in. Grand Funk Railroad was amazing...

[@tonyivey7079]

I was fortunate enough to be a teenager when Grand Funk Railroad was performing and cutting records. They were THE band with me and my friends. I am so glad that you and others are getting to hear and appreciate the music that some of us grew up with. They most definitely deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 🎸

[@mikebaldwin4466]

Thank you Jamal! Love your videos. It does my 67 year old heart good to see that the music I grew up listening to is still appreciated by a younger generation. It is a travesty that Grand Funk is not in the Hall. Again, thank you and keep up the good work.

That was the first song as young 'uns that our first band played for pay in public back in the 70's. It was also our last song at the same gig as we ran out of songs to play so we played it again as an encore. Great song. Greater memories...

[@ImaDrummer55]

[@nordvegfigg7746]

I saw then live twice in the early 70's here in Toronto. The first time at Maple Leaf Gardens when they were a power trio, the second time was at Varsity Stadium after they added Craig Frost on keyboards. Both shows rank among the best concerts I've ever been to. Mark Farner is the ultimate rock n roll frontman. Carl Brewer is one of the most underrated drummers in rock history, man did hit hard, and SANG while doing it! Mel Schacher on bass was like rolling thunder, but he stayed in the background and let Farner do his thang. Craig Frost added much to their live shows with his keyboards. The live sound was fuller with him added, and allowed Farner more room to wail. btw, this was the first song I learned to play all the way through on guitar, and it was the first song I ever played live with my first band at age 16 in 1972. It was a high school 'battle of the bands' held at my high school. We won.

They discovered that they still knew the songs so well that the original Grand Funk railroad played an original gig that night. A top 5 all time American band, particularly of the 70s. Their crowds were as fanatic as Beatles crowds or young David Cassidy. Management exploited them and then screwed them over but as a band they persevered.
