Live reviews

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!"

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.

Saw Mark a couple years ago at the theatre on Staten Island, NY. Absolutely fantastic!!

He runs around like a 20 year old! Love his songs! Love his politics, ! Love his Christianity! Love him!!!’

MARK FARNER On His Reunion With GRAND FUNK RAILROAD: 'Maybe If Enough People Prayed Sincerely, That Prayer Would Be Answered'

Mark Farner , a founding member of GRAND FUNK RAILROAD , has once again said that he is open to a reunion with his former band.

This past March, it was announced that GRAND FUNK RAILROAD would celebrate the 50th anniversary of its 1973 "We're An American Band" platinum single and album with 2023's "The American Band" tour.

Led by original members, drummer Don Brewer and bassist Mel Schacher , GRAND FUNK RAILROAD is slated to play several headlining shows this spring as well as serve as the "special guests" of Kid Rock for two hometown shows in Michigan at Little Caesars Arena on Friday, July 14 and Saturday, July 15. Joining Brewer and Schacher on tour are newer additions to the band, singer Max Carl , guitarist Bruce Kulick and keyboardist Tim Cashion .

Asked in a new interview with Artists On Record Starring ADIKA Live! if he has ever had the urge to call Don and tell him that they should mend their differences and go back on the road together, Mark said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET ): "I have said it in person. I have said, 'Why can't we just bury the hatchet, go give the fans what neither one of us can separate from each other. There is three people — the ingredients are three specific people. No replacement of any one of those people can even come close. But I just met with a lot of resistance. There's stuff that's… And I'm not a psychiatrist; I don't know what's going on. I know it's not love. [ Laughs ] It ain't love. But I have done that. I've made the suggestion at least once a year for the past 24 years, and sometimes more than that, more than once a year. Because I remember when THE BEATLES were all still alive. And I'm thinking, 'You selfish pricks.' [ Laughs ] 'Why don't you just get back together so I can come and see you?' 'Cause I was a BEATLES fan. There was that anointing on them, like there was on Elvis [ Presley ]. But they took that and did something else with it. People do that; they'll just flop over and [go], 'Oh, yeah, man. All these people love me. Check me out.' God… Thank you, Lord, that where I'm at, I can see through the glass — even though it's a dark glass, I can see clearly through the other side. And I'm in touch with the love that could make millions happy again if the three of us got back on that stage.

"I don't wanna forecast any doom or gloom, but every time I've made the suggestion — and they know I've been open to it for all these years to go back out — we'd split it three ways like we did," he continued. "Just on the money aspect of it — just on the money aspect of it — Melvin could set his boy up for life. He's got a boy who has a child; I think one or two children by now. I don't know, 'cause I haven't kept that close a contact; it's not permissible. But I still love Melvin . He's a childhood friend of mine. We rode dirt bikes together. We jammed together. We smoked dope together. We did everything together.'

The legendary 74-year-old rocker, who turned to Jesus in the late 1980s and became a born-again Christian, added: "Maybe if enough people prayed sincerely, that prayer would be answered. I was praying for THE BEATLES to get back together, but there was something in there that just wouldn't allow that…

"I think if that could happen, there's only one person stopping that from happening. And Lord knows it's not Mel . [ Laughs ]"

Earlier this month, Farner told John Beaudin of RockHistoryMusic.com about GRAND FUNK RAILROAD celebrating the 50th anniversary of "We're An American Band" on tour this year: "You mean the GRAND FRAUD tour? [ Laughs ] Yeah, the GRAND F-A-U-X RAILROAD . It's too bad. 'Cause it's really dishonest. As legal as it may be, it is completely dishonest to the fans, and the fans are taking a slap in the face, just like they are with that fake FOREIGNER that's out there. There's not even an original member in that band, and they go out as FOREIGNER , without telling the prospective audience that there's no original members. But the audience, the fans don't get the truth. They get screwed again. And I think the fans have been screwed enough, man. Why not tell people the truth and go out with the chest held high instead of hiding behind your dark glasses and trying to present a fraud?"

Having reportedly written more than 90 percent of the GRAND FUNK music catalog, Farner has sold more than 30 million records worldwide and has earned 16 gold and platinum albums.

Farner 's first years in music were with the bands TERRY KNIGHT AND THE PACK and THE BOSSMEN . When GRAND FUNK RAILROAD formed in 1969, they named the group after the Grand Trunk & Western Railroad that runs through Flint. Like a Spartan, Farner was intent on bringing rock destined for arenas. What began as rehearsals at Flint's Federation of Musicians Union Hall led to some of rock music's watershed moments. At the 1969 Atlanta International Pop Festival , they shared the stage with rock luminaries such as LED ZEPPELIN , Janis Joplin and CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL . The same year they formed — 1969 — the band further defied expectations by releasing two albums (via Capitol Records ) in a four-month period. Farner wrote all but two songs from "On Time" and the platinum-selling "Grand Funk" . He said they wanted to take advantage of the meteoric rise that was building in terms of the band's popularity.

"It wasn't much pressure because the songs were coming fast," Farner said. "I had nothing but time for songs."

By 1970, Farner 's songs were pivotal to the band's success. The epic composition "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)" became an anthem for Vietnam War veterans and audiences alike. Farner would later perform the iconic song at the Vietnam Memorial Wall, on the 25th Anniversary of the Vietnam Memorial Wall. Farner also received the Vietnam Veterans of American Presidents Award for Excellence in the Arts.

In July 1971, the trio sold out Shea Stadium in New York; 55,000 tickets were sold in a record 72 hours — besting THE BEATLES ' previous record.

The Farner -penned composition "Bad Time" was GRAND FUNK 's last Top 10 single, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1975. Although it never topped the charts, the song was the most played tune on radio that year due to demand.

Farner is a three-time Michigan Rock And Roll Legends Hall Of Fame member — inducted as a solo member in 2015 and an inductee as part of GRAND FUNK RAILROAD and TERRY KNIGHT AND THE PACK .

Current GRAND FUNK RAILROAD singer Max Carl is a rock veteran from 38 SPECIAL . Max penned and sang 38 's biggest hit "Second Chance" and was co-founder of California's legendary JACK MACK AND THE HEART ATTACK . Don refers to Max as "the best blue-eyed soul singer on the planet. Kulick is best known for his 12 years with KISS and has credits with Michael Bolton , Meatloaf and Billy Squier . ( KISS members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley were influenced early on by GRAND FUNK .) Keyboardist Tim Cashion has a master's degree in music from the University of Miami. Affectionately called " Dr. Tim ," his credits include stints with Bob Seger and the SILVER BULLET BAND and English soul man Robert Palmer .

GRAND FUNK laid the groundwork for such bands as FOREIGNER , JOURNEY , VAN HALEN and BON JOVI with its signature hard driving sound, soulful vocals, muscular instrumentation and forceful pop melodies. The fact that GRAND FUNK 's legacy still reigns over the classic rock landscape fifty years after its 1969 birth in Flint, Michigan is a testament to the group's influence and staying power. Mega-hits "We're An American Band" , "I'm Your Captain/Closer To Home" , "Locomotion" and "Some Kind Of Wonderful" still receive continuous airplay on classic rock radio. "We're An American Band" has received notoriety in recent years being used in movie soundtracks and in television/radio advertising. The huge hit was featured in a General Motors national TV ad campaign and in Disney 's animated feature film "The Country Bears" . "We're An American Band" was featured in the Cuba Gooding Jr. film "Radio" , and in the swash buckler "Sahara" starring Matthew McConaughey .

Internationally acclaimed GRAND FUNK has toured the world, selling out in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan and South America. The group's widespread appeal is also evident in its prestigious recording achievements. Over their career, GRAND FUNK has had 19 charted singles, 8 Top 40 hits and two Number One singles ( "We're An American Band" and "Locomotion" , both selling more than one million each). The group has now accumulated 13 gold and 10 platinum records with record sales exceeding 25 million copies sold worldwide. The most recent gold CD award was presented to the band for their greatest-hits package "Grand Funk Railroad The Collectors Series" .

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

• Every day each car in  Moscow metro passes  more than 600 km, which is the distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.

Moscow metro tour: architectural styles of the subway.

Duration: 2 hours

Categories: Culture & History, Sightseeing

This metro tour of Russia’s capital and most populous city, Moscow, is your chance to get a unique insight into the beautiful and impressive architecture of the city's underground stations. Admire their marble walls and high ceilings representing Stalin's desire for glory after World War 2, and see first-hand how the interiors change with the rise of new political eras. Your guide will lead you through the complex network, which is one of the most heavily used rapid transit systems worldwide, with over two billion travelers in 2011.

Opened in 1935, Moscow’s underground system, now 190 miles (305 km) long with 185 stations, is today one the largest and most heavily used rapid transit systems in the world. On this Moscow metro tour, discover the impressive architecture of Moscow’s underground stations and learn how they reflect the Soviet era.

Getting around by metro, your local guide will take you through parts of Moscow’s infamous history. Stop at stations built during the time of the USSR (Soviet Union) that are praised as one of the most extravagant architectural projects from Stalin’s time. After World War 2, he was keen on establishing Stalinist architecture to represent his rising regime and a recognized empire. Learn how when his successor started the de-Stalinization of the former Soviet Union in 1953, the extravagancy of the architecture was toned down.

Discover how the unique character of each station reflected several different eras. While stations like Kievskaya and Slavyansky Bulvar have pompous halls and high stucco ceilings brimming with extravagant decorations, those built later, like Volzhskaya, are lightly adorned with sparse furnishings. Architect Alexey Dushkin and painter Alexander Deyneka were just two of the many artists who made these magnificent landmarks possible.

Revel in Moscow's glory days, as well as the years of scarcity, on this fascinating Moscow metro experience. Conclude your tour at one of the central stations in Moscow. If you're lucky, you may even find the secret entrance to the unconfirmed Metro-2, a parallel underground system used by the government -- a mystery which has neither been denied nor confirmed today.
