I Miss You Rob.

*DISCLAIMER* This video is a tribute to Rob Grill who we recently lost on July 11th, 2011. It is shared here to remember him and no profits are being made.

Rob has influenced my bass playing in a far greater way than anyone else. Although John Entwistle initially inspired me to pick up the bass guitar, it was Rob who truely showed me what a work of art can come from it. Rob's music has kept me devoted to my instrument and learning his songs has brought me an incredible amount of joy. His passing is one that is very heartbreaking to me and I send out my thoughts and prayers to his family, wishing them strength and courage during this very sad and hard time. Rob will always be remembered and cherished for his music and kind heart. Thank you for everything you gave us Rob, and know that you will always be special and loved by your fans.

@58terryg Thank you very much for your beautiful comment. I am glad to know more of Rob's fans and I am so touched by the outpouring of love for him, not only by fans but by his fellow musicians too. Rob was indeed a very, very special man. :)

I am crying, I have chills. This is so sweet...and beautiful. Where, oh where did you get this version of Where Were You...? I have never heard it. I have loved Rob since the 60's, such a sweet, talented man. I had seen him several times in concert, and he NEVER let me down. Always a fabulous show. I can't believe I'll never see him again. I pray for him, and his wife. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful tribute with Rob's fans. ~~~And Rob....I love you Babe....

@LousFool Thank you so much. I am really glad you enjoyed my tribute. This version of "Where Were You When I Needed You" comes from Rob's one and only solo album, "Uprooted." You are so lucky you got to see him in concert. This was my dream. He is a very special person to me and I am so happy to see so many fans and fellow musicians of his coming together in admiration of him. It truely makes me glad to see. Best wishes to you.

The world is not a better place without Rob Grill gone. Got to meet him a couple times got an autograph from him which I will forever keep. We lost a gem last year.

Hello my friend, you always put together the best tribute videos, and this one is absolutely beautiful and so touching. I never got to see the Grass Roots in concert either and I would've loved to. Rob's voice was so much a part of my growing up years, first boyfriend and all that. The songs are pearls on the necklace of my life and I just absolutely love each one. Rob will always be missed and thought of whenever we hear his music. I love you Rob and know you're making beautiful music in heaven

Wonderful tribute to Rob. I like many other fans think of him daily. He was a great guy. He loved his fans and it showed. My dad in heaven is now listening to the great music and man that we all loved. Someday we will all see him again. Love you.

Holy cow, you guys - this is perfection. Stunning vocal, stunning shot selection. I knew Rob from 1977, with Dennis, Glen and Joel. Really special times, really amazing guy. Thank you ~ UPROOTED is an awesome album to this day. But how ya gonna go wrong with Rob, Lindsey and John McVie?!! Thanks again!
