The GrassRoots

The GrassRoots - 1989

[@cbryandad]

Rob, Warren, Dennis and Rick are the GRASS ROOTS.... While others have tried and some succeeded to a degree no one can really touch those 4 guys. Together they were like off the charts!

[@janeswann8956]

Those were the Grass Roots!

[@marthahenson6174]

I Agree, They Were The Best!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RosaHernandez-oe3bd]

Warren realy sing grate!!!!, not this ones!!!

[@davidevans1420]

Rob Grill is the undisputed Grass Root. Good to.finally hear them performing their hits with a horn section. The horn section was always an integral part of their hit productions. Refreshing... ;)

[@905Alive]

Unfortunatley there isn't any real video of the 2nd/3rd incarnation actually playing, they were backed in the studio by the Wrecking Crew, whether with Creed or Dennis, but the vocals are key, it was them singing. Every clip of them seems to be tv shows and they faking to the record.

[@philpolzin2233]

Rob Grill and the Grass Roots. Obviously Rob was the Grass Roots for many years. The driving force that kept the music out front on tour for all of us to enjoy every summer. He is surely missed by all of us who loved the songbook of the Grass Roots. You were the Man Rob, rest in peace brother. You are not forgotten. Thank you.

Saw them at a local county fair. My 3 year old child began dancing to a song they were playing. Rob was laughing and smiling so much, he barely kept in time. What a great guy. He didn't take his eyes off my child the whole time. R.I.P. Rob Grill.

[@rainstein3680]

This is a great classic tune and it brings back such sweet memories.....RIP ROB GRILL

[@dianeruhl292]

No one can come near to the original group. Loved their songs and them!

[@lindastjohn5007]

Nobody can replace Warren Entner! He made the Grass Roots great!

[@starlabratcherflannigan1798]

I totally agree with you broke my heart when he left

[@Robloxgamer-jp5jr]

Looks and voice nobody can replace Warren

[@didibolter9362]

NEEDS Warren DESPERATELY!!! Warren made The Grass Roots!!! 😍😍

[@annetteathanasatos1229]

He sure did.

[@terridorn9077]

Warren and Rob❤❤

[@REVLIMITER3]

Rob Grill was the heart and soul of the grass roots RIP

[@annetteathanasatos1229]

Yes Rob was the heart and soul. RIP your memory will live on forever.

[@souldeep69]

I was very fortunate to be there at this concert in Baltimore Maryland. Grass Roots my all-time favorite group, Rob Grill my all-time favorite singer. (And nobody can replace Warren Entner's essential vocal parts, including Rob. Same with Dennis Provisor's parts)) Rob was in great form and voice that night. Of the many times I've seen them in concert, this was one of only two times I saw them with a horn section. That is a real treat they sounded a lot more like the records. At this show the horns were much more audible in person. After the Tv part ended, the Grass Roots did about 4 more songs, just for us! It was a great night

[@warasoc]

Wow!!!, recorded these off of my 15 ft dish (before everybody had them) quality was fair.. no HD then on vcr... tapes set around for years and when tech made it possible to edit.... Put them on KZbin to share and not lose them (never have seen duplicates the on the net). Glad you enjoyed them!!!!

[@ritaschalla2279]

That's when they were great!! Dennis, Warren & Rob were the Grass Roots at their BEST!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️2020

[@souldeep69]

Agree a million percent, Rita!

[@jaehakkim340]

Me too !!! Grass roots my all time favorite Group

[@lindabergman3127]

That guy is smoking that guitar n I'm loving it 😁 never seen this before

[@alanmorse6407]

They deserve to be in the Rock n Roll HOF. . Others have less hits and were inducted years ago! 😉

[@moemcgovern7345]

Along the The Three Dog Night.

[@moemcgovern7345]

It's hard to believe they are not in the Hall of Fame.

[@moemcgovern7345]

Without a doubt we had the best groups. True talent that never gets old.😊

[@rickybearden4575]

i can remember watching the grass roots on t.v. and listening to them on the radio and listening to their records ill never forget it !!! 😊😊😊

[@annetteathanasatos1229]

I love The Grass Roots. All of them are TERRIFIC. Rob and Warren make the group SUPER GREAT. RIP Rob, and thank you for the music.

[@LousFool]

So great to see Rob rockin' out. I especially love "Let's Live For Today". I miss you Rob. Thanks Warasoc for the awesome post.

[@debbieedwards711]

I agree, Let's live for today rock big time! ❤❤❤

[@paulchristopher6096]

First time I come across this video and while was this good. People don't realize how many hit songs at this band had over the years. Rob was the main man may he rest in peace.

[@dougtaylor7724]

Now kids, this is what late night TV was back when. Way the heck better than today!!

[@bettybryant7509]

They were my dream guys as a teen....in love with Rob.

ME TOO!!!

[@kathyortiz8293]

What a great concert! Thanks for sharing! Wish I could have seen them while Rob Grill was still alive! RIP!

[@jeffreysnow2640]

I saw them 2 times with Rob. 1985 & 1986

[@lindabergman3127]

It's amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩 love them Still ❤️

[@timothydrumm5690]

45 years total Mr. Grill went all out! Half way through still going here, in '89. The world needs these beautiful, positive SONGS of LOVE that can brings us together in JOY!

[@MichaelSmith-ko9vu]

My favorite grass roots song is Sooner or later we miss you Rob played grass roots hits at the local swim and tennis 🎾 club

[@joannklingaman9489]

I miss Warren on this one, but thanks for the great music...

[@MrZonehawk]

Sorry, it is Creed that was part of the cast of The Office TV series!

I was lucky to see them in 1971 at the Trenton State Fair Grounds.

[@judyknight2168]

Rob and Warren you are loved.

[@bigdeal6852]

I can't count how many times my daughter danced to the cassette (yeah remember those ?) of "sooner or later" when I would put it on my stereo ! She is 36 years old today. And it was still fairly old then. (the songs) I have several CDs of these of these guys.

[@cyote3334]

GREAT SOUNDS 💛 Great Sound Quality!!! Luv you WOLFMAN❤❤❤

[@ventues9751]

This is fantastic !!!

[@rfinboston]

Yeah...I know it's an old thread, but I used to do the house sound at a place in Kenner Louisiana and had the privilege to do the sound for Rob a few times in the mid 80's...fantastic memories!

[@larrykupczyk5589]

Saw them perform at a local somewhat dive bar in Ashland Wisconsin in the late 70's. I believe a local musician was friends with Rob Grill hence the reason they played there. They were Fantastic!!

[@bigmacmwm]

Thanks for posting this. Most of the videos for the Grass Roots are lip-sync promo videos. Nice to see a live performance.

[@mariesmith599]

These guys were in a lot of Duffle Bags in a little transistor radio. How on earth did we ever get to hear these guys in those little things. I was a WAC in the Army during the Vietnam Era. Lot of us were carried through listening to these songs and hanging on to hope. Thanks for all the amazing songs they made. I don't understand why these guys have not made it to the Rock Hall of Fame. I know they wrote 29 songs if not more which was truly amazing for back in the 60's and 70's. Temptation Eyes is my favorite song. Anyone else listening that shared Vietnam with me? I was a 91B20 Medical Specialist.

[@thaismatsumoto]

Problem is they didn't write any of their hits. And the Wrecking Crew played the instruments on the hit records.

[@peterbilt-bo1vy]

​​@@thaismatsumotoElvis didn't write his songs. Wrecking Crew were on some of their albums but the GR did also play part of the music. Tbo it makes no difference to me, the GR sang the songs and they were wonderful. Love them forever! RIP ROB GRILL ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💖💖💖💖💋💋💋💋🌹🌹🌹🌹💝💝💝💝❤️❤️💔💔💔💔 FROM SHERRI NOT PETE

That Dusty guy on guitar has the most horrifying voice I've EVER heard! If I weren't for that gorgeous Rob Grill, I couldn't listen to this. P.S. THERE IS NO GRASS ROOTS WITHOUT ROB!! R.I.P

[@ritaschalla2279]

Kathy Golden: Couldn't agree with you more!! Thank you!☺️

[@karenshiels3279]

Agree...horrible.

[@gilbertodominguez5212]

Dusty Hanvey is an excellent guitarist. I saw the group about 15 years ago at Sea World in San Antonio, when the park was still doing classical rock shows. During the introductions Rob Grill mentioned that Hanvey was related in some way to the actor Joel McCrae (spelling?) who did a lot of westerns. If you look at an old photo of the actor you'll see the resemblance.

[@TonysMusic1974]

He may be an excellent guitarist, but he should stay far, far away from a mic. Why Rob was letting him sing the parts in "Wait A Million Years" is beyond me.

[@patricaivey4015]

I love the Grass Roots

[@GODISMYSTERIOUS]

I sang along ‘LET’S LIVE FOR TODAY’ whenever I heard it on the radio.

Rob is awesome!

[@CSmith-mm3kg]

I sure miss Warren Entner being in the band. Warren Entner's voice was so unique. It's deep and clear. He belts it out without working for it. "1, 2, 3, 4!" He was easy on the eyes too. Rob, Warren, Rick, and Dennis were the real deal, the truly memorable sound of The Grassroots. Others have tried to step into Warren's shoes and vocals but it just doesn't sound the same. I really miss the sounds of rock n roll in the late 60s and the 70s. ❤😊

[@freebird7057]

I saw the Grass Roots the first time in Dothan Alabama at the Farm Center in 1972 or 74 but the first date was canceled until a later date because they were snowed in somewhere but got to see a Fantastic group, I think called cross, and they had an orchestra that was fantastic, but good to see TGR later there, then saw what was left years later at a small club in opp Alabama, 4 sons club, even saw Lynyrd Skynyrd on their return tour when it first started at a place called River's Edge in Andalusia Alabama, or really it was Gantt Alabama. Old Amvets club,😂

being a child of the fifties and Beatle mania...this band had a lot of air time .Excellent.Why don't people remember this band? was it their name?? then you weren't there and you missed it

I think this lineup is Grill vocals, Dusty Hanvey (guitars, backing vocals), Larry Nelson (keyboards, synthesizers, backing vocals) and David Page or Joe Dougherty (drums, percussion)Terry Danauer bass

Why is Rob not playing Bass here?

[@scottblackhoyt]

The keyboard player programmed all the bass parts so that Rob could be out front.

[@TonysMusic1974]

@@scottblackhoyt no. There's definitely a guy playing bass behind Rob. Plus, that guitar guy is an atrocious singer. Those notes are well within Rob's range. This arrangement of "wait a million years" is just bizarre.

[@scotthoyt8970]

The keyboard player DID program all of the bass parts for Rob to be out front. On this particular program, since it was on network television, they did bring in a bass player. And, he did a good job of getting very close to the correct bass parts.@@TonysMusic1974
