Mark Farner Grand Funk - I'm Your Captain / Closer to Home ( Valparaiso de Chile , 25 de Mayo 2019)

[@steveedward7572]

Almost 50 years since the original version. Hard to believe. We were kids back then and didn't know it. He could be his granddad. But so could we. He still sounds really good. He was one of rocks great front men. Grand Funk was a great power trio.

[@tylerjones2695]

53 years

[@neilouellette3004]

Almost?? Past 50 years. More like 53 years.

[@bbcala9719]

Been a truck driver for almost 40 years and this song always comes on when I'm getting closer to home. I love this song and love singing it the closer I get to getting home.❤

[@GR8GTRFAN]

Mark, one of the true classic rock stars.

[@Mff48]

That he is michael may....that he is......one of the last of a mighty generation of true rockers,love him so much!!

[@lorrainelaino1458]

This is one of my favorite songs from my teen years, Mark sounds the same now,love him and the. Band forever!!!

[@henryrogers5500]

I was 13 in 1970. So outta sight!

[@mee8690]

My very first concert was Grand Funk Railroad in Atlanta in 1971. Opening act was Black Oak Arkansas. Our high school language club went to the concert in a school bus.

[@centralscrutinizer7374]

Where? The stadium?

[@mee8690]

@@centralscrutinizer7374 It was called Atlanta Stadium or Atlanta Fulton County Stadium

[@johnd9111]

Mark Farner can still belt out the notes like he's 25. What a giver, thanks for the memories.

[@philovance1940]

I was a huge GFR fan as a young teenager. I had a poster of MF on my bedroom wall. I got to meet him in the mid 80’s. He was friendly and gracious and talk to us even though we were interrupting his breakfast. Glad to see he’s still playing/ performing 50 years later.

[@harldave9850]

As a bass player I loved playing this song on stage!!

[@NWLee]

This is a powerful song, Mark is amazing. Rock On!!!

[@otisspunkmeyer9339]

Mark was always the heart and sole of Grand Funk

[@PerfDayToday]

We used to play GFRR in the lunch room/auditorium each morning before classes started , in junior high. 👊🏻👊🏻👍🏼

[@karma4553]

Been going to see this man since his funky beginnings . Still sounds good ! He don't need them 2 other clowns !

[@JILOA]

Grand Funk put on free concert for the G.I.'s in Germany in '71. It was the second time I saw them while I was there. Awsome band.

[@Krinklestar]

One of many, many great rockers from Michigan!!

[@donaldharris8826]

The song in this video and the Studio LP Version of the song The Railroad when you hear Farner Play and Sing in sync to the other mates in the band as the Sledge Hits Those Rail Spikes, My Favorite Tunes from Grand Funk. Massive Musicology that just does not become dated, " Not Ever " . . . Play On FretBro Farner . . . 👍😎🎸🤘☺️🇺🇸🙏 DDH 4-22-2023.

The greatest opening chords , Farner is the Captain

[@johneasler9967]

Farner is the best

[@dgcmusi]

Absolutely feel the same way….

[@willo8794]

I never got to see GFR but a bunch of us did bus trips to see Mark & his brother Rick & their band. State Fair Grounds, Freedom Hill & Pine Knob

[@somebody670]

Mark is one of a kind!! Still love you Mark! He still has a great voice!! ❤

[@lisamcarthur6175]

He came to our town to our annual city Celebration which was free in 2002. Was one of the best concerts I have seen.

[@slq5541]

Saw Grandfunk one of my favorite bands in Nashville TN in 1973, their opening act was REO

[@stevereed8786]

Aside from the fact how much we love this guy, he was truly on of the best "Front Men" ever.

[@godigo2007]

Recuerdo cómo escuchamos hace 50 años lo que lograbamos conseguir en la calle 19 de Bogota de casettes del maravilloso GFR los propios años maravillosos de mi existencia.Hoy tengo 67 y lo escucho con la misma pasión.Gracias por compartir.😊😊❤❤❤

[@judithclinton7730]

Very good drummer mark is always great

[@Mff48]

great, but without being nasty,brewer and schacher in spight of their cruelty would put the cherry on the cake! There would be something special about that!

[@ub1953]

Standing in a crush in front of stage at MSG NYC early 70's; never forget it.

[@pursang101]

Every single time I see Farner on any outlet I think what may have been If his band mates wern't squids.I was in Jr High when Gran Funk was huge,and it was the most happy time of my life . Farner played the soundtrack.

[@mikescampfire429]

I’m 64 and remember the 70s minus disco as the best music ever. Lol just like my dad said about the 50s.

[@musicmike1960]

Pure talent no matter how old...

[@Knards]

I lived 20 miles from Flint Michigan back in the day. I first seen Mark when he played with Terry and the Pack, It seems like it was a 1000 years ago. Grand Funk Rocked Flint first, then the world

[@PaulSmith-pz9eq]

Always loved this song by Grand Funk Railroad, Mark Farner in particular. Sort of like Steve Miller , when he found religion, he really changed. I think that’s absolutely wonderful! Music sounds great !

[@garyantill242]

I was blessed to hear them in the 70s

[@lionheartmerrill1069]

Me too, Winterland/San Francisco/1971. They played Gimme Shelter & I can still hear it. Also saw them in LA.

[@danonoveh8114]

A True American Band, Tops in my Book no doubt 💯💯💯👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@danonoveh8114]

@Honest Mark doing well mark thanks for asking, hope you are doing well yourself

[@guynellerandle9742]

This band is pretty good. Mark is the very BEST! But, this band is not too shabby!

[@unclejack41]

Not-2-Shabby....!? Who are ya !!?? Bethoven !!??

[@sbrenner2561]

Happy memories of being at sea on my tin can. Me and my buddies playing and jamming to this in Missile Plot.

[@AwakeorDreaming164]

I saw him in 1970 on the county fair circuit, and a year later in Berlin. ………. And again 2000 something back on the county fair circuit. He brings it, so did his band.

[@Jay_Dahl]

It must be great to be able to still wow audiences at that age.

[@trapito1956]

Que recuerdos hoy por hoy los sigo disfrutando y tengo 67 años imaginence los grupos de verdadera música que he escuchado podría mencionarlos pero me tomaría algo de tiempo long live rock and roll

[@wildbillfirehands]

Amazing. Every bit as when it was new, and I was high........Legendary.

Love to hear this!!! Farner sounds amazing!!

[@davidzamora6414]

My brothers and I have listened to GFR from the beginning of their careers. Love the band and the music! I’m one that wishes they could work out the differences and come together again. It would definitely be one of the best things to the music industry to see what the impact would be on those who have followed their music throughout. Probably too late but only God knows how that would have been like.

[@sylviaflores9936]

Oh my God this Reminds me of My Brother Jamming in their Back Room i. We're from Houston Texas

It's criminal that Grand Funk Railroad isn't enshrined in the RR Hall of Fame. Fucked UP.

[@dirtydingus5465]

Awesome 💩 right here! Still killing it! Much love and respect!

Saw GFR in 1981, Sunrise Theater, Sunrise, Fl. 42 years ago.......seems like last night.

[@MarkSchuster-ym3iy]

I saw mark he was a lot skinner with long hair, still great. Chicago amphitheater in 1972

[@johnpatrick9552]

Bro! I was there! The whole place was smokin! Billy Preston & his huge afro! Mark Don & Mel inside lookin out! ✌🏼

[@karma4553]

To be honest I seen GFRR in Las Vegas,Nv. In 1998-1999? And they were as good as 1971. When in my opinion they were at their BEST. Mark Farner was bragging about turning 50 ! So probably 98? Think he was a year younger than me .

[@joelvioletOneHairLeft]

At 15 and 16 in Salem Oregon I would set in at a famous Coffee house and this would be one of my set songs unplugged solo

Put Mark Farner in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame! I wonder why the drums are set up on the far left side of the stage? That’s strange. They’re always in the back of centerstage.

Mr. Grand Funk Railroad!!!

Nice to hear Mark play it, especially the beginning, compared to the modern day Grand Funk Railroad which is not the same as Mark plays it
