Wendy-Ann Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Very sad to say the least. I worked on a show with the band in 2006, they put on a great concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ira Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Always loved these guys...and in my typical fasion...after "Sooner Or Later"...my favorite "Roots" song is this "Lost Hit". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Saw The Grass Roots (minus Rob Grill) at the Bay City Michigan's Pig Gig Festival back in 2008 or 2009. I do have the out of print "Anthology" from Rhino (2 CD set) worth picking up on EBay or Amazon. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 That is very sad. I really dug all of The Grass Roots' Hits. Rob had a great voice. My all time fave is "Two Divided by Love". A great song. RIP Rob...you will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew C. Clark Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I also saw The Grass Roots (with Rob Grill) during The Monkees 20th Anniversary Tour back on August 5, 1986 at the old Pine Knob Music Theatre (NOW known as DTE Energy Music Theatre) in Clarkston, Michigan. By the way, The Grass Roots appear in the 1968 family movie "With Six You Get Eggroll" with Doris Day, the late Brian Keith & a young Barbara Hershey which they performed the song "Feelings".

JohnO Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'd add my 2 cents to all of the grieving here....except I'm not sure he's gone yet! Earlier today, Wikipedia showed a death date of "7/7/11?" for Rob, which has since been removed. If you google on "Rob Grill, death", there's no reference to his death - just a couple of links to an article from 7/5/11, stating he's near death........

ira Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 The Grass Roots site has NO update.Since the Grass Roots were always like a franchise with changing membership...for the line-up from 2008-to 2011...they list 4 current members' names...with appearances by Rob Grill...or some language to that effect....no mention of Rob's condition.
