ZenKen Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Are Niner. We can agree on this one. Love Farner and the boys. He had a funky (get it?) guitar he used in the old days. Anyone know what it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigh Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I read that Mark is born again & when asked if he had any problems playing some of the old Grand Funk songs & he said not a problem with any of them. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiz Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Oh Hell yeah! What a great band. I love their late 60's/early 70's stuff. -Such powerful, rocking songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Alrighty! I posted a thread last week about 70s am radio with a couple GFR youtube clips and got no response. I thought I was the only one that appreciated Mark and the boys. I thought the stuff the did with Todd Rundgren as producer was A+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGSpecialguy Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 I saw them several times in the seventies and they ALWAYS put on a great show !! Mark Farner puts on a high energy show every time,, I saw him after the GFR break up in a SMALL club setting here in Florida that I could get right next to the stage, THAT was awesome !! I often wonder what goes through a mans head to be at such a level of playing HUGE auditoriums and have huge stardom only to eventually end up in small clubs, I guess alot of guys like small settings but it has to toy with the ego somewhat,, can you see DAVID Lee Roth in a small club ?
