Grand Funk Railroad - Inside Looking Out - 6/13/70 - Part 2

This is part 2 of Grand Funk Railroad's complete performance of Inside Looking Out from Cincinatti Ohio 6/13/70. It's in 2 parts as it was broadcast on live television that hot June afternoon. This was a historic event, as many believe this early "Hard Rock" peformance was the begining of what was to become known as "Heavy Metal". Grand Funk Railroad created their own genre of music & became the first band to sell 10 consecutive platinum albums. They also broke ticket sales records wherever they played. Love them or hate them, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD OWNED THE 1970's. Help us correct the injustice. Everyone click on the link below to sign the petition to induct Mark Farner & GFRxR into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame now. http://www.petitiononline.com/GFRMDM/petition.html

Im sitting here lonely like a broken man.
I serve my time doin the best I can.
Walls and bars they surround me.
But, I dont want no sympathy.

No baby, no baby,
All I need is some tender lovin.
To keep me sane in this burning oven.
And, when my time is up, youll be my reefer.

Life gets worse on gods green earth.
Be my reefer, got to keep smokin that thing.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I said now baby ... baby ..., let me smoke it ... smoke it ...
Makes me feel good ... feel good, yes, I feel good ... ahhhhh ...
Yes, I feel alright ... feel alright ..., yes, I feel alright ... feel alright ...
Yes, I feel alright ... ahhhhh ...
Ohhhhh ...

Ice cold water is runnin through my veins.
They try and drag me back to work again.
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands.
I work all day making up burlap bags.

The oats theyre feeding me are driving me wild.
I feel unhappy like a new born child.
Now, when my time is up, you wait and see.
These walls and bars wont keep that stuff from me.

No, no, baby,
Wont keep that stuff from me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I need you right now mama.
I need you right now baby.
Right by my side, honey.
All night long.

Make me feel alright ...
Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, all ... alright.

You better come on up and get down with me.
Ill make you feel real good, just you wait and see.

Make me feel alright ..., yes, I feel alright ...
Yes, all ..., yes, all ..., yes, alright.

If this is considered bad guitar playing, then I guess that means that I like bad guitar playing, because frankily--I can't think of anything I DON'T like about Mark's playing! His bluesy-style (and, yes, it is VERY bluesy), his use of effects, and his ability to take a generic guitar and get some awesome tone out of it!

[PackedFunk]

As we all know from Rock History, different is Not Bad. I guess I like "Bad" guitar playing too. The music these 3 young men created in '69-72 changed music forever. 10 minute "Power Songs" such as this were designed for "LIVE PERFORMANCES." Grand Funk Railroad was a "PERFORMANCE VEHICLE!"

[robertnu07]

What great stuff... I agree.. their best album was the first one Grand Funk.. the one with the red cover...Classic!

[PackedFunk]

Actually,that was the second album robert. The first was "On Time". I think their first 5 albums were great, especially "Closer To Home". The power trio stuff was in a class by itself. I hope you signed the petition robert. Thanks Bro.

[lamppostpizza]

man this band would of been so much better and have so much more recognition if they stuck w/ their great balls to the wall rock n' roll like their self titled album and didn't do we're an american band and i'm your captain shit.

[PackedFunk]

American Band I can see, however, I'm Your Captain is one of the greatest songs ever written. I'm Your Captain was the power trio version of GFRxR.

[nardo363636]

2:21 is the best part of the vid. I think Mark Farner has the best on stage anergy and stage presence over any hard rock band. The puts on a show. great guitar playing, singing harmonica. PLus, the bassist and drum mer are kickass. LOve these guys to death.

[qu1et]

Thank you so much for the post! A rare treat.

[lobiz00m]

lo mejor del rock and roll que he escuchado , que energia!, porque no me educaron cuando tenia 4 años cuando salio esto?, seguro pensaria distinto..gracias internet, que avansado musicalmente, cada ves que escucho esto es un poder concentrado que se repite una y otra ves, larga vida a gfr, y aprendan lo que es el rockn and roll futuros y pasado pescados de la musica, aprendannnnn, GFR toca, resto aprende,..... quiero un grupo ya que tenga su legado, que nos paso? porque retrocedimos?

[bigkittysmile]

mark fahrner is the most underrated rock guitarist ever. GFR is SO EPIC!

[jhnstn1]

Foggy memories of a 75 Camaro on a Texas two lane blacktop with a cooler full of Coors and a distorted 8 track at warp nine. Damn good times.

[YANKSVIKES100]

straight up rock and roll

[Brilliantbeing]

A very underrated group. These cats understood what Hendrix knew; that real rock is soul and blues.

[En0ErUP]

I seen a few fans go up on stage and they all were so cool about it , they let them dance around with mark and just escorted them away ! everybody having a good time. If it was a guns n roses concert , security would tackled them instantly , and that jerk AXLE would have been punching people and walking off the stage !

love 2:20

[sinning1966]

@PackedFunk This is 18 years before Guns & Roses BTW, and it surely kicks asses more than Guns. Maybe when people see the nameGFR, they think it's G&R or has something to do with it, it may be a reason why GFR is not in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame :-p.
