I love this song but the backup vocals in this version don't make me feel alright.

It seems to have gotten lost over the years that the title of the song is actually "Feelin' Alright?".  The punctuation matters because the singer is not feelin 'alright, but quite the opposite.  He asks the question of the listener, and then goes on to say that he's not feelin' too good himself. 

 
Now is that, capital L, small a, capital F, small o, small n, small g?  LaFong, Carl LaFong?

Glad Leon is now back on the scene with his piano.
Hope Dave Mason is still getting royalties for this song.
Prolly doesn't get any for playing the acoustic part on
Jimi's All along the Watchtower cause the Bobster wrote that one.

Well it's not lost if you speak English, those are the lyrics of course!

Oh yeah, rock reached its highest point of evolution with Grand Funk Railroad.  The wild, shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner. The bone-rattling bass of Mel Schacher. The competent drum work of Don Brewer.

The whole story of the Mad Dogs tour will probably never be told, but it's mind-blowing enough to realize that the band, show, and song list were put together in two weeks, including rehearsals.

 

There was a movie made way back when. Of course it doesn't tell the whole story, either. But, it was a blast to watch.

Never was a big fan of Joe's.  I thought this was his best cover though.  Still not nearly as good as Traffic's original.

Traffic also did it on "best of traffic".... which incidentally wasn't a "best of" in as much as I think the tracks on that album were the only releases... know what I mean... nah, didn't think so {#Ask}

AND it was a sell out everywhere =how does that happen?!? Yes there were sex drugs and rock and roll, but come on, I would love to see what the take from the music industry was on this album and tour..

 

Maybe 'cuz there were, like, 78 people in the band?

Yes, Mr. Belushi's SNL rendition of this is an absolute fricking classic. A rival to Mr. Cocker if I may say so myself.

And, they forgot to run the vocals through a pitch corrector!

And where's the beautiful half-naked girl in the video lip synching to the lead vocal?

This has nothing to do with today's music.


Had given this my standard 3 Classic Rock rating. Saw this and moved it up to 5.

Blech. This one is well past its prime.

A sore thumb, emphasized by cheesy backup singers and poor production.
