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

[@blurpybutt]

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

[@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 !!!!

[@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.

[@mrDCunningham]

A living Legend. The rock hall should be ashamed

[@bebopbarreto]

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

[@keithetherington4824]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@mikefischer6442]

Mark is still one of the best ever!!

[@raulmacias1311]

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

[@patdogg1978]

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

[@OldBiker54]

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

[@kurtroberts2310]

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

[@charlesrunthesum5991]

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

[@Whitevaliantwarrior]

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

[@raulmacias1311]

I LOVE YOU MARK AND I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU MAN!

[@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.

[@oldsmokeymagee4947]

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

[@dianaallison6110]

Mark still sounding as great as ever, vocally..& still so handsome & sweet 🙂🙂💗💗

[@ronaldlaframboise9734]

[@dennislewis5160]

I got into Grand Funk railroad when I was growing up in Newark as a kid and still enjoy the sounds today

[@keithetherington4824]

They are in my top ten only because we had so many great bands in the 70's.

[@jimbelanger4594]

Outstanding

[@tonyrobbins1665]

They made that song sound like a new release !

[@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.

[@tonyrobbins1665]

[@jayeddy3373]

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

[@wpl8275]

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

[@brucecampbellx]

So good! just amazing performance.

[@tucsonrazorbacks]

This is a timeless classic which really should be translated in other languages. Listen to it. The lyrics are powerful.

[@rb4749]

Love them so much👍

[@joecole7138]

#1song of all time!

[@keithetherington4824]

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

[@KH6DAN]

Agree.

[@fayecooke19]

damn what a job ..what a song ..i have 2 original copies ..how lucky am i ..beautiful ..

[@ronmorey3475]

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

[@jessef9926]

Just heard this on Sterntholgy today. Such an awesome song

[@tonyrobbins1665]

Wow ! That drummer used to play with Pat travers

[@sandym8787]

Looking good - sounding good

[@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.

[@orlandornr]

Sinceramente admiro mucho a este señor, desde la primera vez que oí sus canciones. Ojalá puedan subir más videos con esta calidad. Gracias!!! One more time!!! 😊😊😊🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
