GRAPES OF WRATH - Peace Of Mind

[hammer1416]

grapes of wrath should be on the radio what happened to canadian radio content what a waste

[truebeatlepeople]

one of my favorite songs of all time!!! my band GREENHOUSE were so influenced by the Grapes that local papers here were calling us " the evil twins". I take that as the ultimate compliment. You guys are still one of the best bands and songwriters to ever come out of Canada or anywhere for that matter. Time for a huge reunion tour lads me thinks, long overdue.....luv glen royer

[Hot80s]

Merci

[jackvandermijn]

The Grapes of Wrath are among my all time favourites, Peace of Mind is a brilliant popsong!

SteelHeart-(What kind of love is this)

[wayawayish]

i more than like this. i love this. the grapes of wrath shaped who i was as a teenager. a hugely underrated canadian band.

[Judy101101]

can't view this video - it's not working on my end while all other youtube video's have no problems. Alberta is the most corrupt area in Canada - justice- politics, police, media, medical, NON PROFITS are all completely corrupt

[HerbicidalManiac]

Whatever happened to solid song writing, a good tune and thoughtful lyrics?  I had forgotten how good pop music could be. Thanks for the reminder!

[earthsteward9]

Saw them at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto and they were amazing!

[pingaling]

You are absolutely correct enialbsitruc! I've been listening to the northern pikes again. If Teenland were released today, I think it would find an audience. Or even better "Hopes Go Astray". Best Grapes of Wrath song is 'What was going through my head."

[emptyrob]

I remember buying their first album (Treehouse?) on tape from a girl in my french class for a hit of acid. She had drawn on the cover photo, but it will still a good deal. We both thought so...

[jbrains762]

@emptyrob Their first was September Bowl of Green.

[therealCanablisS]

@emptyrob deadly story,,, wut kinda acid? hehe

[pcowsill]

The Grapes ever coming to Asia?

[davisiondotca]

canadian videos from the late 80's and early 90's: pull out the dolly track!!! So many of them have long dolly tracking/crane shots.

[XuliusCaesar]

@davisiondotca good observation! Sooo true!

[gamatree]

@bj616 Kevin is my dad. I remeber getting a shovel to the head from tom's son once :P never really met his family again...

[schweppes069]

Canadian bands in general, have always been under-rated & underappreciated. Why? Just for the fact that we aren't Brit, 'merican, or Aussie.

[Mesaman44]

magic,,,Stuff like this,,makes me one Proud Mother Fuck'n Canadian !!!

[Intoxilyzer5000]

@Mesaman44 haha... here here 

[bullsleafs]

Great song, reminds me of growing up in the 80's.

[Vauxhall94]

I think of my childhood in the Okanagan when I hear this song. back in the early 90's.

[bj616]

Grapes of Wrath were a great CDN band. I know the lead singer Tom Hooper, a very nice fellow. Our daughter hangs out with one of his sons. He has lived on our island for years.

[enialbsitruc]

For me, this is their best tune. Reminds me so much of a lot of the early stuff by the Northern Pikes. Now there is a great underappreciated Canadian band from the 80's and early 90's.

[hamajaia4]

I saw them sing with 54-40 about a month ago. Their voices are still stunning.

[jenbecs]

thank you for posting this, brings back some really good memories.

[kkkthere]

go CANADA! one of the most underrated Canadian bands of all time!

[acsial]

A lot of hippyish, proto-shoegazer groups, from this era--Crash Vegas, Lava Hay, Plastercene Replicas, Tony Papa & the Theory, 13 Engines...and these guys. All great.

BTW: does anyone recall a group named 'The Front'? They had songs like "The Haunting" and "City in the Distance"...Boulevard are/were from Calgary, no?

[UTubeSage]

found the lyrics..........Gina has a problem,

she thinks she's gonna change the world

puts it down on paper, sends it to no one

Lesley gets a phone call, tells her that it's over, wipe the stars out of your eyes, you're talking survival

[jasonthomaslaxdal333]

Hip >still around Odds> still 'ere, 54-40 still here, skydiggers also, um, Canadian rock has a standard. Since Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings are still Kicking it! Including Gordon Lightfoot! There is a pattern! I'm jus sayin

[kajuhn]

thanks for the goosebumps

[atbhipster99]

Does anyone remember a band called "AfterAll"? I think they regrouped and became "Pure", but the debut album of "AfterAll" is hard to find!

[rawbwan]

one of the great Canadian Bands!!!

[Tribalwind69]

Awesome, one of the best acoustic canadian bands of all time! Kudos!

[freemoneyking]

Bringas back the good memories...great song.

[bets86]

awesome !!!!! CANADA RULES!!!

[dexterriley]

dynamite kurdst..caught grapes of wrath at one of those mega-band lawn festival-drunk-fests they used to have all the time at molson park. nice beatlesque melodies..great tunes to toss a frisbee around ..thanks man

[eman1974]

Ah, the good ol' CFNY (now Edge 102) Canada Day concerts at Molson Park. Saw the Grapes several times there. 54-40, Lava Hay, Crash Vegas, Skydiggers, Odds, Hip - all great memories from high school days.

[LaFlorDominicana]

Youtube, the last refuge for my 'Grapes of Wrath' fix. Wore out my cassette years ago, and can't find it on tape, vinyl, or CD......anywhere. Any ideas where I might get a copy?

[LaFlorDominicana]

never mind, found one on eBay.

[starzine]

hahaha I hear ya...anyways I have some grapes of wrath tapes that are in great shape. contact me if you want them.

[oneslickjackrabbit]

Absolutely the most under-appreciated bands of the 80's, perhaps of all time. Artists just don't make this type of music anymore, and it's a crying shame.

[ah19741]

Boulevard are the most underappreciated band of the 80's (Far From Over, Dream on, Never Give up). Google "Far from over Boulevard" and you'll see what i mean. The lead singer, David Forbes (The only American in the band, rest are from calgary, based from vancouver), is now a firefighter in Northwest Washington State, and they split up in the early 90's and looks like they won't get back together. I can't get their CD anywhere, on e-bay, amazon, or DVD stores! Crying shame!

[jamesbondaygee]

An amazing song and band!! I agree totally underated! The could have done so much more!!

Music is my religion!!

[RideMyBMW]

1987...great, great friggin year for Canadian Indie rock.

[JANGLEPOP1]

Thanks kurdtss for the video. Beautiful song from one of the best albums ever released. Perfect!

[duffyfae]

love this tune and the band is great

[MirrorAV]

The probklem with a lot of these long hair bands is they were on drugs

[RussLBarth]

what a clever thing to say. Of course, no one with short hair would ever do drugs.

[MirrorAV]

and gay

[RussLBarth]

Oh, right. All the gay guys I see have short hair. It is very fashionable to have short short hair in the gay world.

[spiccolo1]

SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE THAT older KID IS abbuctor the young kid in the green shirt

[jsorensen]

They were great. I saw them open for Robyn Hitchcock in Chicago and once by themselves. I still have all the cd's.

[eman1974]

One of the first band I ever went to see live. Sarah Mclaughlin opened for them :)

[Sheldon66]

Yeah, I saw Sarah open up for them in Saskatoon back in the 80's! Can you imagine that? These guys deserved a much better fate than what they got. Amazing musicians, song writers.

[eman1974]

Yep, 1989 I think it was for me.

[themiff]

Yeah, their label, Netwerk, screwed all of these smaller bands over by taking chunks of their profits and pouring it into Sarah's career. I'm trying to locate other videos by Netwerk bands of the same era. Remember Waterwalk? "Turn your face away" and "Never Leaving Eden again"...

[CraigLMcEachern]

that waterwwalk album was great

[POJ2006]

Makes me feel Old. I saw them in concert.

[gmfd007]

Still like this band. Great song!

[MtFujiInMyPantsSUGOI]

I don't miss my teen angst, but i sure miss this tune...the vinyl's in a box somewhere...

[ganjavih]

The Grapes were great... this could be their best tune. Wow. Those harmonies are so pretty.

[Sheldon66]

Benedictineacc!!  Why write the same comments on 2 of these videos? Are you a parrot? Sorry, that you wouldn't want to relive these days. I would, they were some of the best times of my life. Cheers brother.

[benedictineacc]

Sorry for repeating myself on the Grapes of Wrath videos. I had about the same thing to say with each one! This band was like a soundtrack of my life then. I love the good memories, but there is also too much pain. Sigh. If only I could have known then what I know now.

[RideMyBMW]

"I love the good memories, but there is also too much pain. Sigh. If only I could have known then what I know now." - Benedict

How do you mean dude ? The Grapes, to me, bring back memories of long Western Canadian winters and trudging to school in 5 feet of snow.

[weecanuck]

...and if that's not pain, I don't know what is, eh? ;-)

[RideMyBMW]

"...and if that's not pain, I don't know what is, eh? ;-)"

Walkin´ in 5 feet of powder to school ? LOL!!! What memories does this tune bring back for you WEE ?

[benedictineacc]

Oh my, this brings me back. Good days, but wouldn't want to live them again. Just memories, where they should stay. Nevertheless, thank you for posting one the greatest bands from that time in my life.

[sheltershed]

thanks... really liked this band when they were around
