That Drummer has got to be the best wow

[@jefferyfunk6819]

Thanks Kristin for the shout if you didn't know who was Lynn goldsmith she was a pretty famous photographer back in the 70's she did a lot with GFR and a lot with other famous people like Muhammad Ali Micheal Jackson and a lot of other famous rock groups back then in the 70's krazzzzzzzzzzzzzy drum solo huh? lol....

[@raymondedge8889]

Its so cool seeing young ppl enjoy my generations music. Far out man...

[@TheScavenger71]

I was 17 years old when I saw the original Grand Funk Railroad at Shea Stadium in the early 1970s. I can tell by the expression on your face that you get it, Grand Funk Railroad was fun to listen to and fun to watch. You could not help but have a good time at their concerts. They gave their fans what they wanted.... great music, great musicianship, and loud volume. I have their live double album and when I want to reminisce and go back in time to when I was 17 I put the record on the turntable and crank up the volume until I rattle the windows and rearrange all of the stuff in the china cabinet.

[@sun622]

Listen to I'm your Captain/Closer to home, Footstompin' Music, Mean Mistreater. All classics.

[@richwilliams7787]

Don does not get tired. This guy is a machine and one of my all time favorite drummers. Thank you.

[@michaelbriefs9764]

That kicked my ass!! Such a great Drum solo!! Thank for reacting!

[@teegar100]

Grand Funk Railroad was the very first concert I ever went to at age 16.Me and a friend hitch hiked 35 miles in a snow storm and bought tickets from a scalper.my parents didn't know I went.I got home at 2 am and got grounded for a month.but it was worth it.

[@dogbarbill]

I had two favorite bands; one American and one British. Grand Funk Railroad and Led Zeppelin. Brewer was energetic for sure, but Bonham would (and did) go for 20 or 30 minutes on his concert solos. Moon was simply a wild man with sticks. Ahh, the heyday of rock and roll!! If only we could turn back time and see it all again live on stage!

[@michaelescareno7048]

Saw them live on this tour, as well as the year before in 1973. Absolutely amazing live show!!!! At that time GFR was among the greatest bands in the world!! And yes, their "Caught in the Act" live album is among the greatest ever!!!

[@eddietorres1000]

When I was Kid My Brother Had The Double Live Album "Caught In The Act" I would Listen To That Album All The Time, Now I have The CD T.N.U.C is One of my Favorite Songs on The Album. Grand Funk Railroad is the only Band That I know of that Blow Led Zeppelin Off The Stage in 1969 and were kicked off the Led Zeppelin Tour

[@hondotoo]

nice!.. i like their other record Grand Funk Live Album

[@raydavis6085]

“Spent all day..making up nickel bag!”

[@keefmack]

Check out their tune "Black Licorice" from this same concert. KILLER!!!

[@debbieedwards711]

How did he do that? Pure skill & raw talent! Great genius bandmates all. GFR

[@bigdaddy7862]

I’ve been a huge Grand Funk fan since the early 70s! So grateful for this band

[@franklinzappa7043]

Great Reaction to a Great Band ...... Rock n Roll at its Best 🎼🎼🎼 Damn Long Haird Hippys ✌😎

[@Hucfinn-zz8dl]

W O W !!! JUST W O W !!!

[@davidj6008]

I LOVE IT, that you found it groovy Back in the day when musicians actually played musical instruments Yeah, the drum solo Don Brewer was incredible and had the best rock and roll "Scream", like ever

[@pagecampbelljr4562]

This was a real influence for me on the drums,when I got my first kit.ps I could tell Don brewer I had the 8 track tape and to let him know how great the drums sounded, had the sound of a train on this solo. The snare and Tom's and cymbals was chemistry.how bad ass it sounded on the 8 track, that was the real solo.the best.!!!!.

[@CrayzMark]

Damn I didn't realize Grand Funk Railroad were so energetic. They destroyed with this performance. Dope reaction Kali 💯💯

[@CrayzMark]

@@fonsecorona right on, thanks, I'll do that

[@LirienNieve]

You should check out Inside Looking Out from 1969!!! Mark is on fire. And remember in 1969 they were 19- Mel, and 21 Douchebag Don and Mark. Mark the REAL star of the band.

[@lilpoohbear653]

GFR ...ALWAYS energetic...off the rails!!!

[@edmiller5101]

i saw Grand Funk 2 time in Madison Square Garden and they rocked the place. They were also with Fleetwood Mac and Sly and the Family Stone

[@LirienNieve]

OMG what a show that must have been. You are talking FM with Danny, Jeremy and Peter Greene right?

[@guynellerandle9742]

You should listen to “Inside Looking Out”.. It’s awesome!

[@ffieditor]

In Need really showed GFR Off while Inside Looking out was a remake. It seem all the big hit were remakes, Inside Looking Out, Gimme me Shelter, The Locomotion. From the post Terry Knight, I pick "Walk Like a Man (Talk like a Man)"

[@LirienNieve]

@@ffieditor Gotta disagree on that one. What about I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home?? THAT is the song that Mark is best remembered for. American Band, Shinin' On, ... ring any bells?

[@rosatarantino6506]

Spettacolo allo stato puro musicisti da 10 e lode in particolare Mark Farner una delle migliori band della storia della musica mondiale!!! ❤️♥️

[@joelopez843]

Great, GREAT drummer and band from Flint, Michigan. Nothing better than watching them live! By the way T.N.U.C. was spelled backwards intentionally.

[@williampatterson5067]

When they were opening for Zeppelin, Zeps manager Peter Grant had his engineers create a power outage on stage while they were playing. Because they were better and he knew it. The y were blowin Zep away, and Peter couldn't stand it. I believe it was the Shea stadium show. Peter cut their night short, what an ass. Peace!

[@KristinKali]

William Patterson 👊💙Oh wow!! That is messed up!! 😱🥺

[@martyc2637]

Gfr were really a more enjoyable band live than zep. I can attest since I saw that tour when they opened for zep.

[@platosplato407]

'74...AHHH....GREAT YEAR...SENIOR IN H S.......SAW GFR FIRST TIME IN 74....GREAT LIVE SHOW!!!

[@harryb4933]

The live album was legendary back in the 70s. Just like "In A Gadda Da Vida" by Iron Butterfly. In 1969 hard rock was born.

[@johnschofield9496]

This solo is half the length of the one on thr 1971 Tour CD ! Donnie Brewer is absolutely one of the finest rock drummers ever. His catalog of works is drop dead amazing.

[@scottcolman9757]

Seen them do this show in Denver 74 . Was 14 and rocking my ass off.

[@bobbyg7102]

You'll love THE RAILROAD by these guys!

[@nuniegomez2970]

Been a fan since 1969 God willing next month I’ll be 72 so to Don Brewer just one last time I would like to see you do your drum solo on TUNC and watch Mark come out and scream in your ear Allllllllllrightttt

[@miguelparra492]

The best of the best Grand Funk Railroad !

[@rmcellig]

A million thanks Kristen for posting this. Back in 1969-70 my high school homework was GFR and Humble Pie. Amazing band nothing ever matched the intensity plus love of what they were doing quite like GFR!😀

[@donnaransom3770]

HUMBLE PIE!!! THE LATE GREAT STEVE MARIOTTE!! ❤❤❤

[@rmcellig]

@@donnaransom3770 thanks Donna. Steve was beyond AWESOME!

[@rondiacarman376]

The drummer, Don Brewer, passed out at their performance in Japan and had to go to the hospital due to heat exhaustion! I remember the headlines back then! Everybody was so worried he wasn’t going to make it! They’re all maniacs when it comes to their concerts! You should watch their live concert in Japan on you tube! Mark Farner was great leading the band! What a showman, better than anybody!

[@bonniebickett4520]

Saw them live in Branson. MO 4 tears ago

[@supercudaone]

"Inside looking out" 1969

[@bobconklin7159]

I first heard GFR’s “Sin’s A Good Man’s Brother” in 1971. I was hooked after the first 8 seconds.

[@byronmitchell3784]

Happy 50th Woodstock anniversary as always Byron Mitchell 62 years old in Wisconsin

[@gggo2631]

Not in the HOF?? Now I've heard everything . Great reaction.

[@quentinmichel7581]

I totally miss drum (and other instrument ) solos. It gives the other band members a break and gives the soloist a time to shine.

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

I shared your video of you reacting to Inside Looking Out with an old friend of mine who I used to sing with in a band where we did some Grand Funk Railroad songs. One of the songs we used to do was Are You Ready. It was appropriately are opening song. My friend loved watching your reaction!!❤

[@bobbyg7102]

If you can believe it, the drum solo on GFR's first live album was even better. Grand Funk LIVE, the very first album I ever bought. Oh, and Kristin, you are cute. Just thought I'd toss that in my comment.

[@jefferyfunk6819]

Lynn goldsmith did this filming great job Lynn ; ] and some people say i don't know the funk yeah right lol....

[@_dave4460]

old rocker here. try grand funk railroad’s first album, on time. and hold the album cover up to a mirror; then read the title of the song dear...

[@paulsto6516]

The definition of Hard Rock!

[@roberthaslup9556]

Beautiful just beautiful.... the song is not that bad either but just beautiful!

[@KristinKali]

Robert Haslup👊💙😂

[@garykelly7422]

Why these guys aren't in the rock and roll hall of fame is a complete mystery to me. They put Madonna in,but not Grand Funk Railroad. That is a travesty.

[@folkme3042]

It just shows what an irrelevant bunch of arsewipes they are.

[@folkme3042]

I meant rock and roll hall of fame,not Grand Funk Railroad lol.Those guys were an awesome band.

[@827dusty]

Mark Farnum, (lead singer/Guitar and front man) is so talanted. His story is amazing! He almost died three or four times from drugs overdoses, and was saved by Jesus Christ, and has written his Biography. Such a great Band that never got the credit they deserved. Listen to these 2 songs. "Closer to Home, and I'm your captain." I forget which album, but the 2 songs sort of blend into one another. After you listen to these two songs, you'll get it. Closer to Home is so mellow, yet powerful, and almost brings you to tears. Find these 2 songs, and listen.

[@KristinKali]

Thankyou! Dusty!

[@magdasanchez89]

No need of tatoos

[@funkfan1751]

Mark Farner NEVER almost died from Drug overdoses. You are full of IT!

[@jean-louiscousineau754]

Wow !!!! Wow !!!! Wow Just so cute !!!!!

[@Muertes-tf2oj]

Grand Funk 3 yrs past their prime

[@jarrenlumpkin5178]

Nice😀

[@Lvatopesado]

Girl you have the 70s look, your hair, your blouse, no tatoos, eh great music video tho, great memories from my school years.

[@antonballard9431]

Great job again!!

[@lionheartroar3104]

Mark is not with the band to these days cause the other two screwed him out of GFR co-ownership. The last time the originals played together was around 1998-1999...I was lucky enough to see that show, and they were nothing short of amazing. Mel and Don still together, but its not GFR without Mark, an amazing singer,writer and frontman. If you have a chance go see him live. Tours as Nark Farner or Mark Farner Band.

[@ffieditor]

TNUC was on GFR First LP On TIme. On GFR LIVE!, It was the 2nd to last track on this Double set LP. The LP disc 1 was Side 1 and Side 4 and disc 2 was Side 2 and Side 3. This was done to enable us to flip the records over is the short time for continues play time. I would blast LIVE as high as I could without blowing my speaker apart and not damage the house. Caught in the Act was only done to complete GFR contract, but LIVE was far better tracks.

[@wavne1]

Such high energy fun!

[@ronkrupovich7152]

I think that's one of the concerts I attended!

[@wju425]

Check out the red album. That's GFR at their best.

Inside looking out from 1969 so good.....for real

[@michaelrenfrow5375]

don brewer played that way in high school

[@michaelstratton6701]

GFR, was like a wild rock and roll, machine ,awesome band, probably THE best singing rock and roll drummer ever, sorry Phil Collins

[@jefferyfunk6819]

ROCKER T EAT YOUR HEART OUT ON THIS ONE ; }

[@brainstain2904]

Tnuc wow what does that mean just look at it in the mirror! LOL All in all what a great band saw them three times!

[@mikeschumacher9715]

One of the first songs that a band got past the government sensors. A song about a girl doing a guy wrong. Spell the name of the song backwards and you will see what I am talking about.

[@KristinKali]

Thankyou Mike ....Everyone is going crazy in the comments here... you would think we were all in High School again lol

[@shadowindsofficial]

How do you know all my favorite music girl oh and btw still looking 👀 good#creeksquad

[@KristinKali]

country girl 👊💙Thankyou Country girl!

[@jefferyfunk6819]

oh OMG Kristin so you there now ok later : }

[@Rudolf-wr2py]

❤

[@cspringer333]

Saw them at The Warehouse in New Orleans in 70 (www.blackstrat.net/). Best place in the world for music. Check out the concert list in the link. When Don did his solo he got off of his chair, walked around the stage and beat on EVERYTHING! with his sticks without skipping a beat...the mics, the mic stands, the floor, the amps, the guitars...EVERYTHING! It was a great night.

[@Saturday288]

Bad ass song

[@davidxpwaynesworld8062]

Lol 🤪🙃

[@rhwinner]

Yes, Farner had a great build: star HS football player....

[@jefferyfunk6819]

hey i have seen marks high school in flint the football field is just right in back of the school and that school is pretty darn big.

[@nuniegomez2970]

Longer than me😮

[@djs3484]

More GFR gold here ladies and gents, must do Mean Mistreater when you get the chance Kristin. That 😃 on your face looks like your really getting what going on here. Great to see the young appreciating these guys. 3 great musicians, 2 disgusting human beings and Mark Farner, a class act to this day, even after what don and mel did to him. Rock on Mark!!!

[@vmat1000]

songs a thro away,,,,yes. on time and live, You however are insanely hot.

[@rafehr1378]

If you spell this tune, name backward. The joke was on the "straits" back when. Seen GFR a few times live.

[@donnaransom3770]

I sent you a link to the sold out Shea Stadium 1971 show in comment.

[@billmccray]

Most people dont realize what TNUC backwards spells! Thats the meaning of the song!

[@perrykalamaras7102]

GOD BLESS FARNER!!!!

Take a look at Led Zeppelin Achilles last stand live. The one where Jimmy Page is suited in a pail blue shirt

LISTEN TO THE RED ALBUM!!!!!

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

do you know what TNUC stands for?? flip those letters around.. a polite way of telling a woman were finished and slipping it by the sensors to where they never got to see it... did you know drummer Don Brewer was the inspiration for animal by Jim Henson when he was creating the Muppets??

[@KristinKali]

I did not know any of that thankyou very much trucker Kev :)

[@KristinKali]

😁

[@Narpets2112]

This is actually a pretty weak solo compared to his solos earlier in their career. The one on the first live album is much better and the studio version is non stop (but the album is rather poorly recorded).

[@0U812A]

Mark Don and Mel 69- 71 great double album. Disco remains the big suck

[@djs3484]

I just subscribed and wanted to share what I know about these 3 guys, they are awesome musicians, but backstabbers for what don and mel did to Mark, and continuing to do. 2 clips above my comment there's a clip "Our talk with legendary GFR front man Mark Farner". Give it a listen and you'll see what I mean.This guy was/is a diamond in the rough, to have your "friends" steal your music, kick you out of the band you wrote the music for, still tour under the name grand funk, playing HIS music, sending him cease and desist letters to not play HIS music after don lied to him about what he was signing during a night of partying. What can I say about Mark Farner?? A R&R icon, a survivor of the most brutal betrayal, an attitude of love and patriotism, a Jesus loving , part Cherokee American Indian, most of all I respect Mark Farner as a man. God Bless you Mark, I've been a fan since hearing the 1970 live album and wish you continuing health (can't believe you're 71!), happiness and continued success and for showing 99% of the selfish children in music today what's truly important in life. God Bless you... ROCK ON MARK!!!! It bothers me so much what they did to him, he's a better man than me as in 97 they played music Mark wrote before don lied to him about what he was signing, how Mark didn't tear don apart is still a mystery to me. After taking 11 minutes to listen to that interview you will know what kind of man he is. GFR were a big part of the soundtrack of my youth and there were many times rumors of getting the original 3 back together for a huge tour but don never let it happen. Mark had a son he was taking care of who was paralyzed in an accident from the neck down and the money would've helped Mark tremendously and still it never happened. A real shame and disgrace to don for screwing Mark and mel for not warning Mark what don was doing. Without Mark they're nothing but a glorified cover band, without him it will never be GFR. Jesse passed away in 2018, RIP.

[@JimSburg69]

Let me say this about this band. When they first came out they opened for Led Zepplin. The crowds liked them so well that Led Zepplin kicked them off the stage.

[@magdasanchez89]

Really??

[@MrRoach-yo3mz]

spelled backwards is.......... yup, thats what is.!

[@MuckoMan]

In the early 70's drum solos were a big thing. I personally think they ruin the groove. I know these guys have talent.

[@jefferyfunk6819]

hey you guys if you want to know anything and i mean anything about GFR well here i am lol..

[@KristinKali]

Thankyou so much! ☺️💕

[@craigfazekas1337]
