Moby Grape - 8:05 (Mike Douglas Show, 1968)



You can't deny the talent that exploded in the late 60's and well into the 70's. Music was more than just making money or earning a living. They wrote songs that not only meant something but also felt like something. Most of the artists such as Buffelo Springfeild, The Rolling Stones, Beatles, etc went on to World wide fame. Unfortunately not every band went onto fame and fortune. Moby Grape falls under the talented fallen category. Wrapped in a world of drugs and money was just too much for Skip Spence and company. Skip went nuts much like Syd Barrett, the lost soul of Pink Floyd. Its a shame and may we never forget the beauty that is Moby Grape.
