But they never recevied top billing over Led Zeppelin. Mark Farner, a founding member of GRAND FUNK RAILROAD, has once again said that he is open to a reunion with his former band. Popularity-wise, GFR played some big festivals back in the day, and sold our Shea Stadium in record time as well. I doubt that GFR was EVER better on their Best nights, as compared to Led Zeppelin on any of their BEST nights. Grand Funk Railroades un grupo de hard rockestadounidensecuya base interpretativa se sostenía bajo la modalidad de Power trio, y cuyo estilo está marcado por la fusíon del hard rock con el funky el blues. I was fortunate to have seen Led Zeppelin 8 times over their career, and I can tell you, that as good as GFR was. A shame, since I will never listen to the entire drum solo on TNUC anyway.

I much prefer the live versions of their best songs, hits and all. I don't care for their "Greatest Hits" releases. Their Best compilation released was the 2-album MARK, DON & MEL 1969-71. Dick Clark and ABC need to release ! ! ! ! I also vividly remember GFR's performance on ABC's In Concert program. Mark, with his long hair, riffing away on Footstompin' Music - incredible ! The first time I saw them was in 1971 or 1972. Schacher and Brewer enlisted veteran musicians Max Carl (38 Special), Bruce Kulick (Kiss) and Tim Cashion (Bob Seger, Robert Palmer) and have continued touring as Grand Funk Railroad from 2000 to 2012 performing 40 shows a year to large audiences all across North America.I have been fan of GFR since the early 70's. The original lineup toured until 1998, when Farner left to pursue his solo music career. They recorded a live concert set, Bosnia, and a few new selections for a major anthology project. Schacher spent the intervening years making his way as an investor and occasional musician until, almost by chance, he reteamed with Farner and Brewer in a reunited Grand Funk Railroad in 1996. However, Schacher had developed a distaste for flying and elected to stay behind. In 1976 Grand Funk broke up over musical differences.įarner, Brewer, and Schacher decided to give Grand Funk another try in 1980. They achieved ten platinum-selling albums and two number 1 hit singles as well as several more top forty hits. Intrigued by the power trio concept, Schacher joined the new lineup, and almost from the moment they played the 1969 Atlanta International Pop Festival, inspiring a rousing reception and fast-spreading word of mouth, they achieved international fame as Grand Funk Railroad.įrom 1969 through 1975, Grand Funk was one of the U.S.'s top rock groups, managing to hold on despite an acrimonious parting with manager/producer Terry Knight and a musical shift toward a more commercial hard rock. During the Mysterians stint, he was approached to join former Terry Knight and the Pack drummer Don Brewer and singer/guitarist Mark Farner – who had been working as the Fabulous Pack but sought to change musical direction – to form a new power trio.
