What's Big and Purple and Lives in the Ocean? The Moby Grape Story
by Cam Cobb, out May 8, 2018 on Jawbone Press

Figured the legions of Moby Grape fans here might dig. Been on a Moby Grape tear since Jack_Frost sent me some astounding live recordings. Thought I knew the SF psychedelic sound pretty well, but the Grape got by me. They were right up there with Quicksilver, Jefferplane, Dead, and the rest - really excellent, never too late to catch up. If you like acid rock gotta check out Moyb Grape

I checked them out and I liked them. I must admit, I didn't know this band. Another great band from that trrippy time in music. Thanks for posting that!

For years now, I have sort of used Moby Grape as a barometer for independent used record stores....if the store has some Moby Grape, I make sure I look around with some scrutiny for rare stuff, because somebody knows what they're doing Cool
