Mark Farner “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)” on the Howard Stern Show (2006)

[@edwindavison400]

Farner has really maintained his voice. Excellent vocals.

[@keithetherington4824]

Grand Funk Railroad should have been in the Rockin Roll Hall of Fame along time ago !!!!

[@blurpybutt]

Mark Farner IS and always will be GRAND FUNK RAILROAD.....

[@TheOldCowboy1952]

Mark Farner sounds as good as he did in 1971. GREAT, strong voice. The song sounded like the 1971 recording. Wow, most older bands do not sound like they did in the beginning but Grand Funk does. The bass sounded sweet too. GREAT job Mark!!! Thank you.

[@keithetherington4824]

I went from a boy to a man listening to this group. They are in my top ten favorite bands ever.

[@mrDCunningham]

A living Legend. The rock hall should be ashamed

[@MrDoomed81]

Cant hear this song without thinking of my old man. Pop was a two tour Navy UDT 'Nam Vet. Many nights hanging at our local tavern , Wings, Drinks and music.....THIS was the song he always wanted to hear....Gone 5 years this coming May....Love and Miss you Dad, always, cheers!

[@bebopbarreto]

HE WAS GRAND FUNK.....love this song

[@debbieedwards711]

Is this one of the greatest songs ever or what? Love it! Mark Farner is a genius rocker whether with or without Grand Funk Railroad.

[@debbiejones3393]

That was awesome. Mark is ageless. Love seeing Kip Winger on base.

[@billywillieme]

Less hair years older, he’s still terrific, they were great in ‘71 and still today!

[@raulmacias1311]

When I look back, I realize how much Mark Farner and Don Brewer's harmonizing was steeped in Soul music!

[@mikefischer6442]

Mark is still one of the best ever!!

[@kurtroberts2310]

Love it when live performances are just like the original recording! And 40 plus years later. Awesome

[@patdogg1978]

One of my all time favorite songs.. his voice has held up well

[@Whitevaliantwarrior]

🔊🎵Winger nailed Mel Schacher's bass lines🔊🎼

[@OldBiker54]

seeing this after 50 yrs ago listening to this,, amazing

[@oldsmokeymagee4947]

That was great! No Farner...No Funk! Thanks Howard

[@charlesrunthesum5991]

Dam Mark...that was pretty incredible to be able to mirror that after this much time has passed...spot on.

[@NowPleaseReadThis]

Glad to see Mr Farner looking so healthy and into it. Also glad to hear he was not cheated out of royalties for that back catalogue.

[@scottmontana9137]

Sounds AMAZING! One of the greatest rock songs of all time! An era when music really had meaning. It makes you realize just how HORRIBLE the music of today is.

[@ronaldlaframboise9734]

Very good souvenir from my youth, i saw Grand Funk Railroad in 1970, at Montreal Forum, i was 18years old.

[@wpl8275]

You know you had a really good band when it takes 6 guys to recreate what 3 guys created originally.

[@burntvirtue]

The Grand Funk All-Starr band here with Farner backed by Mark Slaughter from Slaughter, Kip Winger from Winger, and Bruce Kulick from KISS.

[@jgleeson11]

[@ronmorey3475]

Great band. Props to Slaughter for picking up Brewer's harmony part exceptionally well.

[@keithetherington4824]

I got to see them live 2 times, and there live performances are second to none.

[@KH6DAN]

Agree.

[@tonyrobbins1665]

Wow ! That drummer used to play with Pat travers

[@mathstar4176]

Maximum respect to Howard Stern 👍

[@jessef9926]

Just heard this on Sterntholgy today. Such an awesome song

[@imdanhoover]

big smiles man...

[@andresihotang2314]

Wow, is that Bruce Kullick?? So Mark basically played the song with the guitarist who 'replaced' him in current Grand Funk Railroad band lol 😂 And Bruce even played the acoustic guitar riff with Mark gave a shout. Just a prove how cool Mark Farner is, I believe he had no issue let alone objection about that. Thinking about Blackmore's Night invited to this studio playing a Purple song with Steve Morse as the 2nd guitarist.

[@jayeddy3373]

Is that Kip Winger on bass, Bruce Kulick and Mark Slaughter on guitar?

[@hectorherrerapopeye3288]

Suupeeeeeeeeer rock blood mark .... and beyond

[@gretebremseth1622]

Love GFR ,but didn't Mark "find jezus" along the road, and became a minister in a very closed community? Just wondering as I live across the sea! 😊
