Mark Farner

Live reviews

• Mark Farner

  I saw Mark Farner at the Cabot Theater (Beverly, MA) and the Blue Ocean (Salisbury, MA) front row both times. This man is the most amazing singer/songwriter. Not one song was tuned down and he hit every note. I was blown away!

  Mark Farner has been such an influence on my life as a musician and I have waited over 40 years to meet him. Fortunately, after one of the shows, I finally met him and embarrassingly burst into tears. He was so caring and considerate he got up and hugged me and we laughed it off. I explained how he inspired me to become the singer that I am today.

  We have a saying here "KNOW Mark Farner, KNOW Grand Funk Railroad! NO Mark Farner, NO Grand Funk Railroad!"

  Nuff Said?

  It was one of the best concerts I have ever seen (out of the 167 concerts that I've seen to date). Mark Farner ROCKS!

• Fantastic show the guy rocked it the same as he did in the 70s. He is very nice to his fans and I appreciated him taking the time to sign autographs. He is the force behind Grand Funk Railroad and there is no doubt about this. I saw Grand Funk Railroad in concert at the same venue a few years back and they are nothing without him. He is a legendary rock patriot and he proved it at this show. Now this is what you call a true rock concert. So glad I saw this as I have liked his music since I was 10 years old. There are not many talented musicians like him around anymore that can touch your heart with their music. Thanks for coming to Milwaukee and come again. The only thing is he needs to add Gimme Shelter to his song list because his version puts the Stones to shame.

• Well,when i was fourteen,i saw Grand Funk Railroad at the Boston Garden!This was the very frist concert.The backup band was the Wet Willy Band.This was probably the best show i've ever attended in my lifetime.Their show had it all.They had the blacklight clothes and lighting.Their was a huge screen in back of the band and when they played The Locomotive,they had a train come on screen.The Highlight of the show,was when they played We're An American Band,they had theses hangin electrodes in back of them flashing the Stars & Stripes of the American Flag.Since then i've seen Mark on his solo tour and even got to meet him on his tour bus.Man,is he short in statue.I highly suggest seeing him if he comes to your area.I only wish they would reunion again.

• I seen Grand Funk Railroad in Pittsburgh,Pa Twice when the band first came out.They were fantastic! As the previous reviewer said they are nothing with Mark,who is the heard and soul of Grand Funk Railroad. My favorite albums were On Time and Grand Funk.These 2 are as fresh as when they first released!Marks vocals are always powerful and sincere.Please give his Gospel stuff a listen, its really good.Favorites are "Give Me The Works" and Isn't It Amazing".His voice never lost its range and power.Keep rocking' on Mark for us and the Lord. Thanks Mark for all your great music you have given the world to enjoy!

• This my second time seeing Mark Farner in two years... Love the little stories and great stage presence Mark has and appreciates his band members.. At one point during a song Mark went over to the bass player and must have told her take a few steps up to the front of the stage .. I hope he comes back to this venue again.. ..Mark also signed autographs after the concert. Bring a record, old shirt, new shirt picture or whatever .. Hand shake too. .. I feel Closer to Home than ever ..

• Seen Mark at The Cutting Room in NYC. Great all acoustic show in an intimate venue. At 70, still one of the best all-time frontmen in rock! Moreover, his voice and musical ability like a fine wine that continues to please. Overdue Rock & Roll Hall of Famer.
