I saw the Grass Roots on the Santa Cruz boardwalk around 1992. Along with Jan and Dean. They weren't a super group but had some memorable, catchy, tunes. Sooner or later love is definitely gonna get ya.
If you pause at 0:48, there's the first photo in the video of future "The Office" actor Creed Bratton (lower right). My wife and I didn't see The Grass Roots in concert until Saturday August 30, 1986, when they were part of The Monkees 20th Anniversary Tour. The concert lineup also included Gary Puckett & the Union Gap and Herman's Hermits (minus Peter Noone). They played outdoors in Portland's Civic Stadium after The Beavers Triple-A baseball game ended. A concert ticket got you into the baseball game as well.
There was an earlier band, using the name The Grass Roots, led by Arthur Lee and Bryan MacLean, well-known on the LA scene. Fans started coming up to Arthur and Bryan, saying, "Love your new record!". Arthur said, "What record? We don't have a record contract". Turns out Arthur hadn't trademarked the name Grass Roots. So Arthur and Bryan changed the name of their band to LOVE. Maybe you have heard of them. This also explains why Arthur's music publisher was called Grass Roots Music. Now there's someone you should do a report on.
Yes Love were brought to my attention mid last year by a friend and have only recently been listening to them 🥰 So many great groups of yesteryear have been left behind and need and deserve to be recognized ❤ Were you suggesting Arthur Lee? 😁👍
@@HarmonyHeartsLifestyle-ul5yv Yes, do a report on Arthur Lee. He might be better remembered in Europe than the US now, but he was very influential in the LA music scene. He's the kind of musician that other musicians talk about.
I was a fan during their heyday in the late 60s and early 70s. They should have called it quits in 1975. By then they seemed dated and as the saying goes "overstayed their welcome." Today as you know none of the original members are with the group so they might as well call themselves The Grass Roots Tribute Band. I think that's funny that VH1 scrapped their episode because they weren't compelling. Such is life.
Yes if a rock program won't cover you then you know you haven't smashed up enough hotel rooms or worse 😄👍💯 Yes I know what you mean about seeming outdated but I guess they have to make a living somehow. Though most should be millionaires you would imagine and just do it for the love of the music ❤ Rob Grill had an amazing voice and Temptation Eyes and Midnight Confession would never be half as good sung by anyone else. Temptation Eyes is my fave by them as it is Robs lol Great to see you as always mate! 🥰👌

Hard to give up what you love to do. Even if it is an oldies tour r a cub it beats working at walmart
I don't think Rob played the bass line in the song Midnight Confession. But he might have done it on stage. RIP Rob. Just a great band.
