Mark Farner

It was an Amazing show! My only complaint was that it wasn't long enough! There was a meet and greet afterward and Mark was very kind and gracious. He seemed to humbled by all his fans.

Very cool show! Autograph session afterward was a plus! Love this venue.

Taking the stage at BBs , Mark Farner performed like he was playing for a 50,000 stadium audience. The few who were there in that room were treated to an amazing ,unforgettable treat . His guitar virtuosity and fresh vocals transported the room to a distantly familiar early hard rock heaven.

This was a great show. he did all the hits from his GF days. and the man is in shape! dam! my only complaint was the sound mix. I dont know if this falls on BB Kings sound system, the bands sound guy or the positioning of the mike but his vocals were overshadowed by the band which was a bummer.

To see Mark Farner again was as always an amazing experience. He has been my absolute favorite rock performer to see in person for a long, long, time...and I've seen quite a few great rock stars over the years. His energy, his voice, his STRUT...and the way he plays that guitar...It was like being back in 1970 when I 1st saw GFR. I just love his music , with all it's wild and crazy soulful flavor and all the beautiful harmonies, it's a hard act to follow... SO, THANK YOU BB KINGS, ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES TO GO AND THANK YOU MARK FARNER FOR ALWAYS A FABULOUS SHOW...GOD BLESS.

Mark Farner puts on an excellent show and plays ALL the favorites!! His drummer is outstanding too. Will always come to see them when they're in the area. Such a great show!!

What a great show. I am so happy that Mark is still playing. His voice sounds great and he can still play and shake his booty off! However, it saddens me that Mark isn't playing in larger venues to adoring crowds. He should be playing venues like the Beacon Theater or doing double bills at Radio City. Still, I am so happy to see Mark Farner perform again. Hey you knuckleheads at the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, Mark should have been inducted a long time ago. If he needs to be inducted with GFR, get the job done and stop inducting performers who should be waiting in line.

Still amazing energy. If you were a Grand Funk fan you will love it. Only disappointment he didn't play Inside Looking Out which to me is always the quintessential Farner performance. If you get the chance, don't miss it.

Seeing Mark Farner at B. B. Kings, NYC was a great experience. Not only did he sing and play as I imagined, his fellow bandmates were wonderful too. He played one GFR classic after another with some of his less famous but my favorite songs mixed in. I waited a long time to see him but next chance I get, I'll be there.

I've been a fan of GFR and Mark Farner since I was about 15 when they first hit the music scene. I immediately aligned with Mark Farner, I am also a guitar player and singer and his music suited me just fine! I've seen Mark a few times over the past 10 years or so and I always enjoy the shows! Mark took to the stage at the Bear's Den and immediately rocked it!...all night! From, Footstompin' Music, to 'Inside Looking out' and many hits in between. When he played "Heartbreaker" I couldn't hold back tears of joy and adoration! If you ever have a chance to see Mark in concert, do not hesitate! He will delight and amaze everyone again and again!

i've seen don and mel's grand funk but now that i saw mark's version i can honestly say now i've seen the real grand funk having never seen the original band

If you were into Grand Funk, back in the day, you would have totally enjoyed this concert. Mark Farner and his band was the only act. High energy from start to finish. His band was great, the singing and the instruments were great. Hope they come back next year

The Dick Wagner Memorial Concert was a magical evening of music devoted to the maestros deep body of work. The talent on the bill was tremendous and everybody played excellently.

Concert was outstanding and musicans excellent everything was postive. only one thing was negative the VIP seating tables. Getting seats on ticket master did not see where we were. Next time I will know better.

Mark Farner and his set list exceeded all of my expectations. Looked, played, sang and moved great. This was like reliving 1971 at CoBo with old GFR tunes that came fast and furious, worked his rear end off for this small Michigan venue. The guitar riffs were right on and the wah wah pedal was going to town. The supporting band was right on. Will look for future shows. Goose bumps if you're any vintage GFR fan. Great concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Concert was excellent from start to finsih. The sound was dialed in on the first song. Volume was strong as well. Lyrics and musical notes were spot on. Glad to finally see Mark Farner and hear the songs that made Grand Funk RR famous still today.

Mark Farner was absolutely fantastic! His voice sounded great and the way he moved around the stage brought back the great memories I had of Grand Funk back in the seventies. I saw them play many, many times back then and Farner was the heart and soul of the band. Along with his super cool look of the long hair and arm band he was a true symbol of the peace and love generation. Sunday night's performance brought back those fantastic memories to me as he performed with a lot of energy and emotion. I look forward to seeing him perform again!

Originally Uriah Heap/Mark Farner show, but Heap bailed and left Farner as main event....instead of canceling, other groups were added and didn't know what to expect. The Todd Wolfe Band and Bonnie Williams were booked and both were unexpected pleasures, especially Wolfe. Their blues rocked the house....Farner played for 90 minutes and having seen Grand Funk Railroad almost 40 years ago at the same venue, he banged out everything the audience came to hear. His energy, voice, and enthusiasm made the evening. His band was tight and the sound was perfect. I took my son and he was able to appreciate the music that his "Dad" grew up listening to and still plays. Rock on Mark!!

I loved the concert! I am an old Grand Funk fan from waaaaaay back. Of course, I was in LOVE with Mark when I was 15 years old also! He sounded great...did all of my old favorites and has a fantastic band behind him. And, I love the Bears Den...my favorite place for a concert. It is the best....

Mark looked great and sounded just like he did the last time I saw him in Munich, Gemany in the Circus Crown in 1971.

It was a great show we were in the second row. Mark has been born again and you can tell in his energetic performance! He"s an American patriot of rock & roll!!!!

This was my second time seeing the front man from Grand Funk, and Mark Farner was better this time than 15 years ago. I sat front row and was very impressed with his voice and the power with which he delivers it. Most rockers of his age have lost a little off of their voice, not Farner. Great set list and performance. Loved it.

Mark Farner!!! Wowoo!!The greatest show since the last time we saw then,,!! The Bears Den is an excellent venue,will be back soon, but Mark and Lawrence and Hubert are the best,,,God Bless

Mark was in rare form, moving around the stage like he was still in his twenties. His voice was also beyond what I expected as powerful as his live recordings from the early 1970,s. He is still one of the best rock guitarist of all time and last night he did not disappoint. It was an excellent show. i hope to see him again in the future.

Are You Ready, take off. The energy of this show was so high, I can't believe so many stayed glued to their seats-are we all old now??? Mark, Carl, Lawrence, and Hubert were synergy personified! Mark may be the main man, his co team made the music also come alive. Mark's vocals were spot on, perfect. He gave and we enjoyed. The other guys, their back up and equal vocals were exact and amplified Mark's creativity and talent. No man is a show alone, and his band made all the difference. (They made him look good, if not better)!! There were many numbers I would have liked to hear, except, we can't be there all night. The selection was good, represented the majority of the albums. I know I missed a few. Mark is obviously a very nice man, and it shows in his performance. His smile is one a woman would definitely appreciate, and gave atmospher to his showmanship, He does the best live show anyone could ever do. If there is no doubt who was and is GFRR, no matter who his band is, one only needs to see and hear Mark perform. He still has his voice and is still a vocal leader for rock. His guitar playing is still top notch. Mark is and always will be the best. If he didn't know it before, how much he is loved, he had better know it now!!!

Mark Farner can still hit every note. Great voice. Top notch band. He had them dancing in the aisles. Played all of Grand Funk's hits in a 1:40 show.

I have always been a fan of (g.f.r.). i really love that voice on mark, and his playing. he had great players with him. Im a singer and drummer and i wish i could play with one of my hometown heros. the sound could have been better, but all ended up just fine!

Great show nice venue Funk is revived ,They really had a nice show and was good to see the mayor out and about supporting the local venue .

mark took the stage and delivered his unmistakeable style of rock and roll to fans of all ages. his unique voice and guitar playing was flawless and had everyone at the atwood stadium in flint michigan dancing and moving to the beat. he introduced members of the different bands that he played with prior to the grand funk railroad adventure. and had them on stage performing with him. this concert is proof that mark farner has gone from grand funk to grace. both on stage and off he is one of the most honest and finest people that you could meet. i would encourage anybody that loves rock and roll, to see mark forner, formerly of grand funk, perform.

Great enthusiasm in the show. Mark Farner sounded great! A very nice surprise seeing Craig Frost step into the show for a couple of tunes too. I just wished the show could have been longer - maybe give him more of a rest during the set. He is a talented Grand Dad that Knows how to rock still!!!

I frankly don't see what all the hoopla was about Mark other than he used to be in Grand Funk and he was from Flint. Personally, I was much more impressed with Pac'O'Mojo. Their songs had more imagination and content , their lead singer was very energetic and gave alot of credit for the music to the other members of the band not only himself. Mark Farners band, seemed to be just repeating the same phrases over and over again with alot of loud music. Kind of boring. On the other hand if Mark Farner simply, by coming to Flint can get people in the seats and help Flint/Michigan, all the better. We need the help.

Farner did a very good job with his concert. He was in fine voice and did not look like a 60 year old on the stage. It was a "lovefest" cuz Farner is from Flint and had not performed a concert there since 1975. People were glad to have him back and he did not disappoint the crowd. The sound system did not do him favors on a few songs but overall it was as good a concert that we have been too. My wife thought he was "still hot". It was nice to go on Atwood Stadium grounds and set up a chair and watch the concert. Excellent venue.

Not as good as Grand Funk, but close! Played all the best hits plus some new stuff

Brother Mark was as good as ever. Mark Farner is Grand Funk Railroad. Great selection of songs and good sound quality. Still my favorite for 41 years since I was 12 years old. Talked with Mark after the show and he truley is my brother.

My friend & I have never been to this venue before. We drove in from Rochester NY to see the Legionary rocker perform. Well by the end of the night we were very pleased with the Bears Den & Mark Farner's show! I will be back when another of my favorites decides to play there.

Mark Farner was amazing, sounds the same as he did umpteen years ago. Please bring him back, I will definitely go see him again.

Mark is still amazing as he always was...pure rock n roll, pure heart! Great 18-song list for a close to 70-year-old and an old school rocker! Wish they kept the traditional encore or curtain call, but they do an autograph table instead. We saw him in the sort of small Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut. The venue was sort of enclosed, so someone needs to tell Mark and the band that they need to do a better sound check and scale back the instrument amps and speakers in that sort of setting--vocals and sound detail drowned out completely. A disservice to the band and music. I LOVE loud rock, but that was too loud for the space!! Wanna fix that Mark!

Mark still has it. Have not seen him in-twenty years. His voice is clean and clear. He has a lot of energy left. The other two knuckleheads he used to be in a band with lost their minds when they alienated Mark from the band. Mark's band is every talented. If you pass up his tour, your loss. Get up off your butt and support these old rockers.

WOW, Thus show Rocked. Mark was outstanding, as was his band.Reminded me of what serious Rock Bands used to perform in concert, Energy, Perfect Performance and more, and delightful comments by Mark about why their music is still relevant! Never seen them live before, a friend recommended the band, and Mark far exceeded my expectations. Many hits were played from our generation, and the audience loved it all. Thank yhou for a brilliant performance. Gotta go dust off the old LPs and rock the night away. First time n this venue,I thought the place was fantastic and the sound was perfect! Thank you Mark and thank you Pottawatomie Casino!!! Hope to see them again!

Mark Farner's American Band show was amazing. Listening to his catalog of Grand Funk hits brought back so many memories. His band was talented and provided perfect support for Mark. Even more amazing is at 68 years old and now wearing a pacemaker, Mark showed the voice and energy of a 20 year old. I can't wait to see him again!

This show was FABULOUS!! Mark's voice was spot on. Such a nice person! Played ALL the hits! Would see it again in a heartbeat. We go to a lot of concerts and this was honestly one of the best ones we've seen. Don't miss it!!!

Farner still sounds great. He has a good band. They played alot of deep tracks!!!

While no one would compare Andiamo s Showroom to the Grande Ballroom ... it was great seeing Mark up close again ... along with hundreds of his fans not tens of thousands. Mark was fit, his voice strong and his guitar playing gritty as ever! His keyboard work was gritty too. And fortunately he brought along his harmonica as well! Mark s band mates were top notch ... especially the drummer who treated us to an incredible solo ... often overlooked by today s bands. Excellent concert ... already looking forward to his next show!

Mark Farner is an excellent guitar player and had the house rockin! His take on classic rock was what it has always been-right on target. The entire show was very enjoyable and took me back to many good times listening to Grand Funk Railroad......

As always Mark Farner rocked the house, playing the many beloved hits from Grand Funk Railroad that the crowd expects as well as some deeper cuts for the true GFR fans in the audience. A must see for any GFR fan! Mark and his band bring it every time. Much better than Don and Mel's other Grand Funk band that continues to fool people by not disclosing that they are not the real band.

This was my first time seeing Mark Farner and hopefully will not be the last! High energy show, go see this musical legend if you have the chance. You won t be disappointed.

He still has it. One of the best shows I ve seen because I ve been waiting a long time. The sound at the venue wasn t worked out too well but the band and Mark were awesome.

Mark Farner sounds and moves as if he was still 22 despite his pacemaker. To actually meet him after 47 years of listenting to Grand Funk was a dream come true. I saw him in 2002 in Chicago but nothing compares to actually meeting him and his wife. It was like a family reunion. I recommend everyone to go to his shows -- I plan to attend again.

For an old guy with a pace maker he was awesome. Very good. He doesn't need those 2 other guys that screwed him over. His band was also great, especially the drummer.

Mark Farner is still an excellent performer. He brought people back to a time that we all remember fondly. My wife and I recalled every song he did, he made us laugh, and we were just in awe of how his performance skills have not diminished.

My husband and I loved the music and the man behind it. He has a great spirit and the energy of a young man, still able to bring it! We had so much fun and rocked along with Mark and his band all night. When it was all over, we wished we could do it again.

He was still very good even at 66 years old but, He didnt play very long (1 hr 10 mins) - C'mon. And that was after two encore songs. We paid good money to see him to not even get 1.5 hrs. Marks microphone was not working properly - cutting in and out. And he had his organ player singing many of his songs. Very good but less than what I expected.

It was a great night and I thank Mark for that! I was young again and it felt great. He was spot on in his music and does not short change you. He plays the songs as you remember them.

I have seen several Grand Funk shows some with and some without Mark. You can't really say Grand Funk without Mark. The man is the voice and driving force of Grand Funk and now his solo band. The band was tight and sounded great with faithful renditions of all the big hits. Mark's voice is great even after his heart attack and having a pace maker put in. I was very surprise how lively he was and how he really belted the songs out. The only drawback to the show was the length as they only played about 1 hour 5 minutes total, but for $25 and getting to see one of the "greats" even an hour was a bargain for $25.

Mark Farner is someone that you just have to see live. The joy he has in performing is contagious! It is damn near impossible to see him and not feel good while watching. He was on his game, hitting every mark and putting his musical legacy out there for all of us to once again enjoy. The expected Grand Funk Railroad numbers were certainly the highlight. He brings so much energy and feeling to the songs. Personally, I do not think there is anything I would rather see than Mark Farner singing 'Bad Time' live and in person. Great night and a great show in one of my favorite venues. I could not be happier! 'Closer To Home' is an amazing song to hear him perform, and I always make it a point to get tickets if he is anywhere near where I live.

Mark Farner hasn't lost a thing over the years. Voice as good as ever and he still plays 70s guitar. Amazing band with him. I was really shocked at how good it was.

Mark played solid for almost 2 hours! Great Show!!!!

We did the meet and greet before the show. I have to admit-I was star struck. Mark was very down to earth,almost timid like... But...when he got on stage-he was the Mark Farner I remembered. It's kind of like...Clark Kent with the glasses and easy going temperment at the meet and greet...and on stage he was...Superman. His voice has not changed...every single song was spot on-he had SO much energy running back and forth...and he just has unlimited amounts of talent! He joked about being 67 and guessing his pacemaker works! He is amazing :) I would highly recommend his show...what a night that was!!!

Well played, the band and mark were tight as could be and the performance was fun. the drummer was great! It was great to see Mark still so good.

As for the concert it was Fantastic , Mark and Band were hitting the note real high. Might as well say I saw Grand Funk Railroad. I paid extra for VIP it was a joke!!!! Was supposed to have early access, and a meet and greet. For the VIP they let us in 5 minutes before the doors opened, gave us a piece of paper to reserve our seat.Said be back in lobby 7:15 we got a 10 second hand shake and a quick photo with Mark. NO Autographs??? This is what a meet and greet is supposed to be. Then was told he would do autographs at the merchandise table after show, but this was for everyone even the non VIPs. So I was first in line for the autographs. Get throw ed another curve now since the line is so long you can only get one autograph. NOW i COULD HAVE GOTTEN THIS WITH OUT PAYING THAT EXTRA MONEY FOR THE VIP. NEVER AGAIN I HAVE BEEN HAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark and his band were absolutely phenomenal. The set list was made up of all GFR songs we knew and they were played with the same enthusiasm as they were 40 years ago. I think Mark slipped in one new song and it was awesome. The drummer and bass player were better than Don and Mel and Mark exceeded my already high expectations. Please keep on touring and your fans will keep on coming out to see you perform. Never lose that Rock n Roll Soul.

Incredible show. Mark's voice and guitar playing sound exactly the same as they did back in the day.

I was never a huge fan of GFR but I liked some of their songs. Farner and his band were excellent beyond my wildest expectations. Farner rocks as does his band!
