Grand Funk Railroad - Heartbreaker - MSG 12/23/72

Caught In The Act & Live Album from '70 are considered today to be 2 of the greatest live albums of all time. GFRxR was the greatest live band ever, period!

Unlike KISS this is starit off the stage and not doctored in the studio.... a real band.
Could not get enough of the live "Caught in the Act" Album... as a kid I played it front to back everyday... all four sides.

Feel The FUNK y'all!!!! GRAND FUNK RAILROAD!!!!

Sign the petition.....will ya

this is the beggining of the POWER BALLAD. the very first and best one ladies and gentlemen.

Your right evil. All three of these guys were top notched & were really something together. Everyone please sign our petition in video's description.

Yes. Mark Farner and Don Brewer were the showmen of GFR, especially here. But, it's Mel Schacher's unbelievable bass line that powers this song! He and John Entwistle were pioneers and brought the bass out from the background. Mel's one of the most underrated bassists ever.

E. PLURIBUS FUNK (1972) "I COME TUMBLIN'"
"Slowly coming, the thought of losing the world is ever so near." - Mark Farner

"Heartreaker, can't take her." -Mark Farner

Man, this song was a real part of my life 30 years ago. Word 4 word.

Love this song! Love this ending!
Best 70's band EVER!
Please sign PackedFunk's petition to induct these guys into the R and R Hall of Fame!
They SO deserve this!

Sorry I keep fuckin' commentin' on this. The guys seem to always call themselves a garage band. And Mark, even after the GFR heyday, he's said he's wanted to become a better guitar player. I know he's been slammed in the press during his career (he seems to be getting a bit more critical respect nowadays), and again I'm a non-musician, but I feel he and the band were ultimately modest. They've obviously made people happy. "Rock & Roll American Style/It's gonna be around for awhile!"

was that jim atherton moving mic stands in the first few seconds ? anyone know if hes alive ?

This is my favorite live version of this tune that I've heard. Farner's voice is completely on, and the dude, I know that critically he's not usually rated high or even mentioned, and I don't play guitar, but outside of Tommy Bolin, the guy is an incredible guitarist. I've heard all the Funk stuff, and I feel that I can just hear his progression into an outstanding lead guitarist, especially around this period. I completely dig the Craig Frost GFR! Mark plays vicious guitar on "El Salvador!"

Recognition is what really artists never get,no matter how "superb" they are.Long live rock and roll and their hero artist!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael F**king Jackson is in that joke of a hall of fame!! Is Rush? Is Deep Purple? Is Rory Gallagher? Why is Mellencamp in there? That is totally fucked!!! I bet Johnny Winter isn't in there! Like Tim Wilson says. "It's a Sorry World!"

"HEARTBEAKER"....a Grand Funk Railroad MASTERPIECE! Mark Farner wrote some of the very best rock songs of the day back in the day. GFRxR's early albums are still on sale at your local music store...no rock collection is complete without them!

Will do.
I can't believe their not al'ready in.

thanks

Craig Frost

Who is playing the keyboard?

This song is so damn good it gives me the chills everytime I hear it. When I hear this song it kinda depresses me that I'm single. But anyway, nobody ever sang like Mark Farner. The prettiest voice I've ever heard.

5. Being totally ignored by The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame as though you never existed. Another first that is intolerable & must be corrected. That's the reason for our petition in this video's description.

1. Sell out Shea Stadium twice in three nights, break The Beatles ticket sales record & set a record that has stood for 37 years.
2. Your first three albums went Gold in less than three months. Another first.
3. Become the first band to sell ten consecutive Platinum albums. Another first.
4. Have the number one song in America & number one album, already certified Gold before album has been oficially released due to pre-sales orders (American Band). Another first.

just watches all MSG videos,blew me away I was there,last year of highhhh school.THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
