Tom Davis & I are Creed Bratton fans from his work on The Office. We were talking last week about his earlier fame as a guitarist with the “Grass Roots” in their early years…which sent me browsing. It’s funny, I played these songs a thousand times on the radio, never thinking one day I’d be “playing” them on-line because of a TV comedy show. Go figure.
Creed left the band after “Midnight Confessions.” You can find him with the band performing that song on YouTube, but this clip has the Creed “money shot.” Check him out about 1:30 into it. Two-three-four!

Tom Berg says
My favorite Creed moment is when he plays guitar on the ‘booze cruise’.
It’s not in the actual episode, it’s on the season 2 DVD as a deleted scene.
I found the clip on youtube here:

The premise of the scene is Michael Scott trying to play guitar to keep the party going. As he gives up, Creed asks if he can give it a try.
Michael calls it a defective axe, but hands it over and Creed rocks out.
Then there is a ‘talking head’ moment where Creed talks about his life with the Grass Roots complete with pictures.
That must’ve been a tough moment to cut out.
