power !!! power !!! power !!!

[bigguy4570]

Don Brewer looks like he is having way to much fun. lol

[LibertyAtStake]

Mark Farner doing with one guitar (more or less) what Stones did with two. And the vocals, too. That's the thing here.

[dictator54]

critic's never were good to these guys for some strange reason so they had to promote themselves and i mite add they did a pretty good job.

[holzficken]

bass must be louder

[tornmask]

@cramrenraff : & MoRe PoWeR!..Cheers! =oD

[bustballz]

love this band....One of the greatest American Bands...GRAND FUNK!

[kwgthacher]

Too bad that Don and Mel are more about the glitz - this is vintage GFR - VISCERAL, that's what they were all about!

[benchmat]

beautiful song....I luv both versions of stones and gfr are but my God....GFR ROCKS!!!!!!! I'm still having goosebumps after hearing them 40 years ago!!!! \m/

[chabeworks]

the stones rule this song--gfr did a good imitation though

[tonlo92]

I never cared for Don's voice too much, but LOVE Mark's & he still sounds just as good today as he did 40 years ago.

[cop39fl]

way better version than the stones version

[tonlo92]

@Rokkerfat-I too really don't like the Stones, I respect the Stones. I LOVE this version.

[claptongroupie]

Let them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! geez get the lead and the politics out .

[FlintWhoKat]

There's The Who. There's Grand Funk Railroad. Then, there's "just bands." Cheers.

[zennygreen]

thanks for this vid .What a brilliant band .Got the album Survival brought back from the States when I was 11,years old. no body had it in the Uk then It still Rocks now..What a tight band,haunting vocals at the start, mindblowing .

Anybody got any more rare footage?

[ROCKKERFAT]

I hate rolling stones, athough respec them a lot. And this GFR version is FANTASTIC, i wish them had composed this song. Is pure GRAND FUNK

GFR FOREVER

[AlbertMondback]

I think this is the best version of Grand Funk's version I've heard yet (including other live versions), and possibly the best version of this song ever.

[gethsenamane]

Not to rare. It has been on the boot market since it recorded

[dontdodat00O]

i like the GFR version a lot better. never been much of a stones fan to be honest

[Tingman513]

It is lasting forever ForReelFunk!! Just close your eyes like I do everyday and you can still see it. They're not really there, they can't be everywhere doing everything for everybody. Everybody can't get what they want but, I can still see it. Thay are there! : ) < Lifted from the kids in "I an Feel Him in the Morning"...lol, as if you didn't know.

Yeah, no kidding, just close your eyes.

[Tingman513]

Thanks JohnInFunk! Another very cool obscure video from the best rock band ever, GFR!!

Now, I really like the Rolling Stones, but didn't GFR just put some kick ass move into that song or what? Makes me wonder what they would have done to The Salt of the Earth...I can only imagine...lol

[pegleyjr]

Not to rankle any Stones fans, but I always thought the Caught in the Act version of this tune blew Mick and the boys away. This original trio reunion was a hopeful time, but for me it was even more disappointing when the 1980's GFR reunion fell to pieces after making some of their best music.

[Bekki54]

I really have to agree with you..sadly it's true. These guys were the best - TOGETHER! It's a thing called "chemistry." They sure had it! But yeah. Mark is a great performer anytime and everytime.

[Bekki54]

Wow wow wow. Thank you so much for the great vid! Have not heard this song in a while! Grand Funk is the best!
