Do you know which show this was on? Just curious if you had any info on it. Thanks for posting, it's great...love, love, love the Grass Roots and Rob :)
I MET ROD GRILL ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, NOT ONLY WAS HE A NICE GUY BUT A VERY TALENTED SINGER. THE GRASS ROOTS WERE SENSATIONAL, REST IN PEACE ROD GRILL.
This is one of my favorite videos. Great medley of their hits and so well played. Rob was so hot in this video. It's amazing that he looks just like my husband did at that same age. That's probably why I took a shining to Rob!!
2011 was a sad year for Grass Roots fans. Drummer Rick Coonce passed away in February, and Rob Grill left us in July. Rest in Peace, thanks for the memories, and rock on!
Not that it matters . But Grill wasn'r gay ,BUT one of the song writers for them was . He said midnight confessions was about his lover . I have always loved their music . It looks like a young Paul Schaefer on keyboards .???????
It is astounding to me that in this day and age a persons sexual preference has any bearing on their accomplishments..really people?..They were a great band..Rob Grill was a truly talented performer..who gives a flying crap what anyone does..or WHO anyone does?..Do you people get your "information" from gossip rags?
@UsuxMyBallsack Why are you so content of logging in youtube and making up lies of famous people. You think people are gonna believe you. It's not the late Rob Grill's fault your gay or bi. There are alot of fans out there giving youtube your id. Stop it. It's not the world fault your a nobody, just quit.
Theres not anyone who was in HS at this time that doesn't have a favorite Grass Roots song. It was a great time. We could listen to this great music,and imagine what a song meant to us individually,not what some video told us it meant. Great times,great friends,and great music. And who gives two shits what Rob was or wasn't? He made great music and gave all of us in that era, great memories. All the rest just doesnt mean shit.
@georgesorosisgay1 Absolutely. You can listen to a song,and it gets to mean something to you, you picture it in your head. Now, you see the video,and the video forms your feelings on it. Hell, even now when I see some videos they do for old songs, I think, "That completely ruined that song for me". Kinda like the muscle cars of the 60's&70s,they were meant to go fast and look good.Now,they all look the same,and have more computer shit than the Shuttle. Its called Freedom to choose.
Rob Grill was a awesome artist and was NOT gay ! He fell probably cause of the bone disease, and the hip replacements. I know he loved his wife and loved his music. Why smear a dead mans accomplishments, after he is gone. Rob was a true performer, and alot of folks me included loved his music ! RIP Rob
Rob Grill was not Gay, not that it mattered. I knew him personally and I knew he loved his wife and family dearly. He was a really good man ! With a awesome talent !
Rob Grill was not Gay, not that it mattered. I knew him personally and I knew he loved his wife and family dearly. He was a really good man ! With a awesome talent ! He was in his late 60s and fell and cracked his skull and went into a coma, and just didnt survive the accident ! RIP Rob
No I'm not prejudiced against gay people, but I am against people who lie and use discusting profanity without class such as yourself! I'll be reading no more of your garbage, as it will be blocked.
There will always be sick individuals who like to start rumors because they do not have lives of their own. Rob was not gay! Perhaps you are, and wish Rob were gay for your sick fantasies. I cannot stand people lying on other people. Buddy you are dangerous to everyone around you. Toxic person. Grow up sicko. Rob would not want us to give you a second thought, as you mean nothing. You are dirt. RIP Rob and Christian.
I've met numerous 'stars' - at concerts, conventions and on movie sets. I had the privilege of meeting MR. Grill and his lovely wife- Nancy. They are a class act and are STARS. When I heard he had passed I wept heartfelt, bittersweet tears. He had lived with both physical and emotional pain for years. I'm glad that's over for him; but so many people will miss his amazing voice and his gentlemanly manner. Bless you Nancy, RIP Rob and Christian. I'm weeping again...
@BrooksFrankandBoog70 Why are you so into gay men and continue to send messages about Mr. Grill. It's guys out there like you who can't stand to see good-looking guys who become famous. You write one more message negative about him and I'm gonna get in touch with the people at youtube. Why don't you go find a boyfriend or something. I mean it. People are reading this right now, not just you or I.
@hz11287 Thank you so much for defending Rob. This joker has been posting this same type of message on other GR videos, and you just posted my exact feelings about this. So if you want to contact youtube about this jerk, let me know. I'M IN!
@LousFool Thank you. I appreciate it. Look at his response below my response to BrooksFrankandBoog70 yesterday. I'm sure he is gonna see this message too. We will wait and see if he says anything else but he hasn't said anything negative about Mr. Grill. He said I was a homophobic I don't even know what that means. Thanks again. God Bless You.
@LousFool Hello again. This guy posted something really dirty about Rob Grill 5 hours ago showing an interview back in 1983 . We have to flag those message from that idiot. Youtube will review it and if he continues to put these negative comments as long as we flag them they will stop him from accessing youtube.
I have a back to back Grass Roots and Turtles CD. It is awesome, these bands are great. I am glad they both appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, and have had many of their shows played on airplay. I am not against all new music, but there was nothing that ever said music of the soul than the oldies but goodies.
@marthaamydear In the dinosaur days, shows like Ed Sullivan had house orchestras to accompany the musical guests. I don't know which show this is, but maybe we can hear horns from the house musicians.
@lovedthe60s I think this is the Ed Sullivan show. I mean, the show had all sorts of famous bands, such as Lovin' Spoonful, Turtles, Supremes, Temptations, Beatles, Rolling Stones, CCR, Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Beach Boys, Four Seasons, Herman's Hermits, Four Tops, Martha & the Vandellas, Johnny Rivers, Animals, Hollies (I think), Byrds, Rascals, etc. The Grass Roots are a very popular band, so why not have them? It makes no sense.
@horrorshow20000 marthamydear wondered where the brass section was coming from. I suggested that the house band, on whatever show it was, might have accompanied them. I cannot say definitively what show this is, it might very well be Ed Sullivan. The point was that this performance looked like it was live and the horns were likely provided by the house band. Again, just a guess. and yes - Ed Sullivan was a staple in our house - evey Sunday at 8:00 pm on the good old CBC - loved it!
@lovedthe60s, I've watched this video many times, and my guess is the band's musical tracks were pre-recorded, but the mikes were hot and they sang the medley live. It's the only explanation that really makes sense. Not only does the audio quality of the instruments sound much too good and tight for live tv, but none of the guitars have electric cords, and this was before cordless electronics. As for the horns, it's entirely possible that they were there off-camera and playing along live...
@photoasylum If you look carefully at the bottom left of the screen around the 45 second mark when Rob is doiing his riff, you can see a plug into his guitar. I tried to see if I could see that area on the other guitars but the camera shots were all too high. I know it really doesn't matter - the performance of that medley was great no matter what, but it's interesting to see the different ways musical acts were presented way back when.
This incarnation of the band was probably the best. What great vocals. I will be seeing the Happy Together Tour in a few weeks. The Grass Roots just won't be the same without Rob Grill. R.I.P.
@DrDeath251 This must come as a shock to Rob & Christian's DOCTORS who were treating bone disease & cancer. They should have consulted with you & Smeg for a diagnosis - you evidently know everything. Also, good job making up stories about dead people so they can't set the record straight. Do you think this is funny? I don't think Mrs. Grill, especially in this time of grief, would appreciate your insinuation that her husband lied to her all these years. Does pain amuse you?
@DrDeath251 no, i am not anti gay..lol..what i am anti, are nasty untrue rumors. i met rob grill on several occasions in arizona, he was'nt even close to being gay. he had a horrible bone disease and had multiple hip replacements, he was also in constant pain and on medication for that ,for years. he had a stroke, fell, hit his head and was in a coma when he passed away. so, my question to you is...are you anti straight?
@58terryg I wouldn't waste my time on these idiots that are saying Mr. Grill is gay. These guys that are commenting are jealous. Also, you right about his bone disease I seen him back in 2003 and he was wearing a brace on his left leg and yes he's been on medication for years cause of the pain. No, no he is not gay. They would say Jon Bon Jovi is gay. These guys wished they had all of us women looking at them but they are the gays ones.
Just saw at Asbury Park Happy Together Tour they were very good but couldnt help but think how much better they were with Rob Grill.Very sad Condolences to the Grill family.
I was born in the '70s well after most of The Grass Roots' hits had been released. Musically speaking, I'm a child of the late '80s-early '90s, yet I definitely count Midnight Confessions, Live for Today and Temptation Eyes among my favorite songs ever. R.I.P. Rob Grill... your strong, clear voice shone like a beacon for me.
I got my 11 year old son hooked on this great group. He hasn't played or listened to them in a while then came last week and out of the blue he started singing "Live For Today" ironically the same week Rob died. I understand Rob was listening to that great song when he died and that it was his favorite of them all. Kind of freeky but cool.
so sad to hear about Rob Grill's passing....glad he's not suffering anymore, I saw him in concert once, great sense of humor & he was a great musician....
I just heard today about Rob. Great group!. So many memories of growing up in 60's- 70's. Thoughts, prayers are with the Grill Family. Thks for posting.
Very sad to hear about Rob Grill- had to write and say "Thanks" for sharing this clip and may I add heartfelt condolences to the band and his family. Rob, rest in peace. I just loved the Grassroots as a 13-14 year old!
Rob Grill was my crush when I was 15. I was so sad to see his obit this morning. I will always remember him with that great smile, singing those great songs.
I am so sad to hear the passing of Rob. I wanna cry when I see the videos. I grew up listening to these guys. Rest in peace Rob -- your in a better place.
saw these guys at six flags over texas back in the early 70's. they were awesome. so sad to hear of rob grill's passing. thanks for posting this vid. loved listening to it.
Great harmony singing on Temptation Eyes with Rob Grill and Dennis Provisor. These guys were great. Too bad we will more than likely never have "Top 40 Music" like this ever again ...but at least we have the memories and the music!
Just never, ever gets old. What?, 44 Years or so, and it is still just plain, good old fashioned music. And Live? Let's see that lady gag-gag do that. 40 some years from now people will thing she was the name of a eating disorder caused by 2011 music.
Just this medley alone should qualify these guys for the R&R Hall of Fame ...they sang live and sounded great.....there are plenty in the Hall that could not have done this...I don't think Elvis played all the instruments on his songs...most groups all use studio stand-ins ....so what big deal...the Roots were awesome....
Damn nice medley! And yes that period of time in music was special. The music was from the soul and was about love and caring. Today a lot of music comes from a very dark place and cannot shine. If I had a time machine, besides Jesus and Dinos, I would go back to see some of these concerts just to feel the audiences reception of these masterpieces-- can you imagine the reception Led Zepplin got the first time they did Stairway to Heaven? Bottle that up and smoke it!!!!!
@Mrsilversmith69 I have read and have written many comments before. Yours is one of the most concise and intuitive I have ever read. Congratulations on hitting the nail right on the head. Lucky that I was alive and old enough to have seen some of the best music of my lifetime. Even got pretty drunk and got high with The Guess Who in Winnepeg one night. That waqs ome party! I digress; You are right when you described yesterdays and todays music. Beautiful.
What a gift that we still have this kind of music to listen to! The 1960's & 1970's produced the best Music ever in my opinion. Isn't it interesting, and this is a great example, that to be truly great back then, you didn't have to sing with lyrics containing killing, suicide, sex, treating women like whores or bitches, etc etc. By the way...Rap & Heavy Metal...EXCREMENT & TRASH!!
Timeless genuine songs -Temptation Eyes..memories as a young girl. Great looking guys & the lead (Rob) a great voice! No computer tweeking needed here.
Going back to a time when MOST bands were grungey with kinda bad hairdos, Grill and this newer set of members were all so great looking. Grill was one of my biggest crushes, I was amazed that none of my girlfriends knew who he was! He was and still IS Easy on the Eye and still VERY talented. Thanks for the good times Rob and GR,
It is so nice, for a change, to listen to a group featuring three very good singers. These guys had such nice voices...and they were excellent eye candy, too.
Amazing, people that could actually sing live, play live and had talent!! Something that has been missing in music since mid 80's?? This music you felt down deep, and it gave you a good feeling, you sang it all day. Todays music(and I use that term litley) is all about killing, rapingg, slapin you ho's and bitches, real classics. Im glad I was a kid back in the 60s and 70s. Great music, great friends, great times. We had fun.
Can someone tell me who the one on the left, the keyboardist is, the one next to him and the drummer. I know Rob Grill and Creed Bratton. These three weren't with him last spring when I saw Rob Grill in Schenectady NY.
@Tater1951 ALSO ONE OF THE BEST GROUPS OF THE 60's. Rob Grill is up in Heaven and singing to us all. RIP ROB and GOD BLESS YOU! I noticed they added another player in this segment. they use to have only 4 members during the 60's.
Got to see these guys this past April in Schenectady NY...they should have been the headliner..Rob Grill STILL HAS IT!! He was awesome! Of the four bands there (A cover band, The Grassroots, Davy Jones of The Monkees, and Peter Noone of Hermans Hermits), The Grassroots were the only ones that brought people to their feet singing and cheering. He's also quite funny.
When he was pushing his CD's He said "please get one.. I have grandchildren to support...maybe even some around here. ROFL
I think that 4 people were drunk and hit the dislike button next to the like button on accident, how silly of them.

Just this medley alone should qualify these guys for the R&R Hall of Fame ...they sang live and sounded great.....there are plenty in the Hall that could not have done this...I don't think Elvis played all the instruments on his songs...most groups all use studio stand-ins ....so what big deal...the Roots were awesome....

Damn nice medley! And yes that period of time in music was special. The music was from the soul and was about love and caring. Today a lot of music comes from a very dark place and cannot shine. If I had a time machine, besides Jesus and Dinos, I would go back to see some of these concerts just to feel the audiences reception of these masterpieces-- can you imagine the reception Led Zepplin got the first time they did Stairway to Heaven? Bottle that up and smoke it!!!!!

What a gift that we still have this kind of music to listen to! The 1960's & 1970's produced the best Music ever in my opinion. Isn't it interesting, and this is a great example, that to be truly great back then, you didn't have to sing with lyrics containing killing, suicide, sex, treating women like whores or bitches, etc etc. By the way...Rap & Heavy Metal...EXCREMENT & TRASH!!

Grill was one of my biggest crushes, I was amazed that none of my girlfriends knew who he was! He was and still IS Easy on the Eye and still VERY talented. Thanks for the good times Rob and GR,

@ChihuahuaboyDH Rob Grill is the one with the brown frontiersman jacket, with brown hair & moustache.
The guy wearing the lavender shirt playing the keyboard is Dennis Provisor.
I can't understand how I could possibly make that mistake...Sorry, everyone!

Amazing, people that could actually sing live, play live and had talent!! Something that has been missing in music since mid 80's?? This music you felt down deep, and it gave you a good feeling, you sang it all day. Todays music(and I use that term litley) is all about killing, rapingg, slapin you ho's and bitches, real classics. Im glad I was a kid back in the 60s and 70s. Great music, great friends, great times. We had fun.

Got to see these guys this past April in Schenectady NY...they should have been the headliner..Rob Grill STILL HAS IT!! He was awesome! Of the four bands there (A cover band, The Grassroots, Davy Jones of The Monkees, and Peter Noone of Hermans Hermits), The Grassroots were the only ones that brought people to their feet singing and cheering. He's also quite funny.
When he was pushing his CD's He said "please get one.. I have grandchildren to support...maybe even some around here. ROFL
