Mark Farner has co-headlined a show with John Kay and Steppenwolf at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston. Lissmark Entertainment  captured the set for a concert DVD  with Farner's show on 32 tracks for a 5.1 Surround Sound soundtrack. Farner's brother Rick, who still lives in the Flint area, plays guitar for about a half dozen songs.
The DVD -  has been put on hold while Mark and the band are completing their first studio album.  Various release ideas are being discussed for the DVD to coincide with the new cd.

Farner says Brewer and Schacher, who assembled a new version of Grand Funk in 2000 - filed suit against him to prevent him from billing his performances as "Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad".
