Introduction Emcee: Okay, it's all going to happen here in just a few minutes. Let's try to make a lot of room by ... everybody clearing the aisles as much as possible ... Trying to make a ... a situation here where we can run this Grand Funk set without having to stop. Emcee: Clear the aisles as much as possible; we'll have those lights out this time. Emcee: We'll be ready to go in just a couple of minutes. Would you clear those aisles a little bit? We sure would appreciate it. Mark: Hey! I'm getting a shock off this mike. Mark: Hey, I keep getting a shock off this mike. Can you switch the ground, Don? I know it's a hell of a rush, but I can't take too many. Emcee: Here's the group you've been waiting to see: Grand Funk Railroad! |

Words of Wisdom Mark: We ... we have a new album out, it was released the fifteenth. It's called Closer To Home. We'd like to do one ... we'd like to do one from the album. Ah ..., but before we do, I feel that ah ..., I have to tell you something because I know that if you were in my place that you would do it for me. Mark: Ah ... brothers and sisters, there are people out there that look just like you or maybe Ah ..., your brother ah ..., but they're not. And, when they hand you something, don't take it - don't take it, okay?. |
Mean Mistreater Mark Farner Mean mistreater, you make me cry, You lay around, and watch me die. Mean mistreater, can't you see I'm real? Are you satisfied, with the way you feel? I've tried hard to live without you, in so many ways. I just can't help myself from thinking of you, for the rest of my days. Heartache is at my door step, won't leave me alone. I just can't get used to it, now that I'm on my own. I know all about you, your childhood days, Your mom and dad, your pretty face. Mean mistreater, if you need me, I'm needin' you to set me free. Mmmm ... |
