MOBY GRAPE - Live Grape


This was semi-serious attempt to revive the group in 1977; the group (Peter Lewis and Jerry Miller, with occasional help from Mosley and even Spence) played dates throughout the year, mostly around Santa Cruz. A document of this exists as Live Grape, released in 1978 (not including any nights Mosley played), and features a number of new songs.
Manager Matthew Katz, who owned the name "Moby Grape" refused to let the band use it; instead they performed as The Grape, Original Grape, or Maby Grope. "That Lost Horizon" and "Your Rider" are good new Lewis songs, and Miller contributes the country "Here I Sit" and bluesy "I Love You So Much" Only diehards need to bother with it, but it is a pleasant listen.
.
Do not beleive everything you read about this album. It does not sound as Grape at their beginning but it is a great album to listen to.

Thanks for this post! Not at all like their older classic albums, but still fun to add to their collection. By the way, this was briefly available on purple vinyl!
