I saw Grand Funk Railroad live in concert at Wild Adventures in Lowndes County, Georgia in August 2022. They were high energy through and through, but it was just Don Brewer and Mel Schacter plus three other musicians. Mark Farner wasn’t in the lineup, though. Mel, Don, and Mark need to mend fences, break bread, bury the hatchet, and stage a reunion tour. It would be one for the ages.

For those of you that just listened to this, I'd like to congratulate you. You've just listened to the greatest rock and roll band ever. It'll be extremely difficult for any band to top these God gifted guys. After playing the drums for nearly 50 years in two different bands and playing in night clubs around Ocean City MD as well as Washington DC ard opening up for a few well known rock bands in the late 70s throughout the early 90s I met lots of drummers. Out of all those great drummers only a small handful could play and sing at the same time. It can be difficult for most drummers but it's definitely not the case here. Love you guys. Rock on.

In the 70's, I listened to GFR all the time. I remember hearing Mark Farner's hair was so long, it got tangled in the guitar strings of his Fender or Les Paul or whatever he was playing at the time.

I never got to see them but I came close. I saw Bob Seger at the old Spectrum in Philly in the early 80s, and guess who was playing the drums for him...complete with his legendary red sparkle kit, white shirt with bloused sleeves, and Afro? Yep - Don Brewer. He didn't do any vocals, but did an excellent job driving Bob's band.
