adambar Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 This is, without a doubt, the best live performance ever caught on tape by three guys just out of the same high school in Flint, Michigan. For almost 10 min they bring power funk/rock at a whole new level. Mark Farner wears the armband because of his Cherokee Indian heritage by the way. These guys are so freakin good! They really were funk, rock, hard rock, bluesy vibey, No bands like this anymore or will be! Mark Farner - guitar, harmonica, vocals Don Brewer - drums Mel Schacher - bass 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Abernathy Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 That was awesome Adam! I saw them in 1967 at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, among others, good times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adambar Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 In 1971 Mark Farner and the original Grand Funk Railroad set the record at New York's Shea Stadium: they sold out in 71 hours, surpassing the previous record set by The Beatles in 1966. The reason Mel Schacher's bass sounds a little different in the video Inside Looking Out is because he used a 1966 Fender Jazz Bass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
