Mark Farner of former Grand Funk Railroad. Great show, great song writer. No GFR without Mark.
 
Just finishing up a 2 month European adventure. These are the shows I have attended. Tomorrow is Third World at The Paradiso in Amsterdam. Besides all of the great music some of the highlights were seeing Samantha Fish at a 2000 year old Roman Amphitheater, Flying with Samantha Fish and the band from Hamburg to Helsinki and sitting across the aisle from Samantha and having a real meet and greet and in Utrecht at the Ben Harper show I was chatting with a friend in the band with a couple of his Dutch friends and security said it was time to go and a few minutes later I find myself backstage. We closed the venue that night. More than just the last show.

Seen them around the same tiimeframe… my Son loved at the end when Duncan the drummer went vertical and still pounding away!
They are fun to watch and hear in a live setting !
 
This was the 13th time that I've see them. And for 71 years old he didn't disappoint. He's nothing like he once was, but who is? This was my wife's first time seeing them, which was sweet, and she loved every minute of the show, which shocked me.

Their timing isn't nearly as good as it was when they were younger, but still 10X better than mine. They played to a sold out Levi statuim croud of 60.000 fans of all ages. I was happy to see the younger crowd going nuts over them, it was super cool. You couldn't of had better seats unless you were in their shirt pocket. Angus moves a whole lot slower then he once did, but he'd still do the duck walk around me.

Had a blast last night!
But it will likely be the last time I see them. So it's kinda like saying goodbye to an old friend that you grew up with. But hey I can say I was there once again. I got very few good shots most turned of grainie,,but I will cherish the few I did get along with the grainie video i got of Angus doing the duck walk. It was a super fun show, but man di it remind me of how old I've become. Tickets prices are ridiculous these days. The first time I saw them was in 77-78 tickets were. $12 back then. Todays prices are much, much higher but worth every penny to see them once again.
