@whyyeseyec The story goes, Mark's doctor "suggested" he play the lightest guitar made because of Mark's bad back. Look up a "Mark interview" here on YT and you'll hear Mark tell it for himself, and about all his gear. Great stuff.
I can't deny the fact that this drummer is as good as Don..he really enjoys it...love you all from Singapore..If only Don Mel and Mark was playing this song ...
This is what real talent is. The ability to perform, stripped down without fancy costumes or pyro. Mark Farner, at his age, still smokes most. How Grand Funk is not in the R'R Hall of Fame is a sin. They were incredible in their day and even now. Mark can still belt and play guitar. Anything I see now is a joke. You could not B.S. people about your talent back then. Now, you can just make videos,get a good producer, and create the illusion. The real thing is always better.
@morrison62 You Nailed It ,SON..We ,were Big fans of GFR. in the Day and Played their Songs .Bands then , Had it Real or you went Nowhere .This is Testimony to those Bands . Glad to Find /See, this in its Glory...Peace.
Wow this is some very pristine footage. I think I understand there is some indignation 'bout no "hall of fame" induction but the Grand Funk thang shouldn't be 'bout hurt feelin's and human destruction...LOL Just took a random shot at some social disaster lyrics people, that's all. As far as Max, the guy is good, Bruce (along with Eric Carr) made Kiss into a great band, and divorce is a fact of life. Pass It Around. Anyway, I know Dennis has a band, but where is Crazy Man?
Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone is "PUNKING" us all by denying GFRxR's induction into the Hall of Fame. FIGHT BACK! HOW? Light a match to his money. Send out phoney subscriptions to his magazine (get postage free subscription cards from a magazine at Walmart) Send some today! 10,000 phoney subscriptions a week is all I ask!
@fattdaddy3755 Interesting that Jann is throwing "cold water" on this. As I remember it, ROLLING STONE Magazine was the only source that reported GF's concerts and the riots that resulted. They told it like it was !!
GFRxR created their own genre of music & The People reacted enormously by becoming the first band to sell 10 consecutive platinum albums & breaking ticket sales records wherever they played. fattdaddy3755, WALNUTS52, & myself are trying to correct the fact that GFRxR are ignored by The R&R HOF. Please join us by signing the petition in this video's description. Thanks everyone!
LOVE IT!

That's a Parker Fly.
It is very light carbon fiber.

@PackedFunk : Thx for the info. I heard Farner say he had a neck problem and needed a lighter guitar but didn`t know the brand he was using....

Doesn't look like the original Grand Funk Railroad...Farner still has the 'Rock&Roll Soul.

You're right! MARK FARNER IS GRAND FUNK RAILROAD... Today's version is nothing but silly ass imposters. Max Carl...Gimme a break!
