Thanks to my friend Tom, we have another gem in our hands!
From the Destin, FL show in October 3, we finally see a tune we were "In Need" to.

One of GFR's all time great tunes; the guitar solo by Mark is killer and rumor is that Eruption by Eddie van Halen is his tribute to In Need by Mark.

[JohninFunk]

As far as I know, Eddie decided he "wanna be" a guitarist the night he saw Grand Funk, especially when Mark Farner did his extraordinary 'In Need' solo.

My hat off to both rockers!

The only time I saw this live was in 1969 at Mt Holly Mi.The Flint Journal said that Grand Funk would perform a new song and it was In Need.Mark's voice is as good as ever.Rock on till ur a Hundred Bro!!!

[JohninFunk]

For the first time I meet someone who attended the 1969 Mount Holly Festival.

If you have any more memories about the event (exact date, number of people at the ski lodge / slopes, the specific old Flint Journal, or maybe any WTAC radio airchecks / advertising, or Bob Dell reports about the event) please let me (us) know.

Keep rockin' Pete.

Madonna is there and Grand Funk isn't? What the hell is the logic behind that decision?!

GFR was the best damn band. Mark Farner still sounds great in his late 50`s. Hasn`t lost any vocals at all. GFR made around 14-16 albums in 7 years. Every one of them was a gem.

Screw the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. GFR is too good for them

[MScCarlosEcalante]

Es indudable que el solo de guitarra IN NEED del 2do. album de Grand Funk en el que Mark sale del planeta para llevarnos mentalmente por el cosmos ha sido y es una infleuncia para Van Halen con su eruption, estos niños como van halen, malsteen no son nada al lado de Mark, Santana, Clapton, blackmore etc. y mucho menos al lado de HENDRIX ellos estaran siempre en pañales no tienen sentido, ni expresion musical solo es una velocidad absurda que no comunica nada, el buenm rock es sentimiento.

Can someone tell me what is the criteria to have a band in the Hall of Fame? Why GFR do not qualified for that? And what is the reason to be there? just "fame", just "name", to be reconigzed. WELL GRF has all that without been there. I mean GFR without been there or to be, for ME is the same, A GREAT BAND. Thanks Mark, I am learning in my late 40's the music I just to love in my ten's (and still love it). Thanks to Utube I am learning all these song from Mark hinself. Sorry my English.

The "In Need" guitar riff by Mark Farner is the one of the best I ever heard in 40 years of rock

@CrashTestChris True and The Led used to Open for G.F.R and other Bands Before The stairway to Heaven , dribble.. Theye were good, But G.F.R. WERE THE FIRST TO SELL OUT HUGE STADIUM shows that were unprecedented .at That Time . Peace .

Wow Mark did a great job, he still has that feeling & talent.

Good to hear the bass and drums being respectful to Don and Mel's parts. Check out Huffington Post -- How Lame Is The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
