Moby Grape covers a blues classic

This is a blues chestnut written by Joe Medwick and Don Robey. Moby Grape has gone in, as a group and in solo fits and starts, for close to 40 years after their spectacular pop/rock debut of '67. While nothing has met the standards of that first LP (probably due to Skip Spence's mental problems and diminished role within the group), there are nuggets out there that I love. Long-time fans of this band have suffered almost as much as the band itself but still seek out the musical remainders the band members produce. May they get back together someday, and may Matthew Katz, their SOB former manager, die a lingering painful death.
Cheers!

Do you remember how they made their arrival on the pop music scene? By releasing five singles simultaneously - that's 10 tracks, or most of their first album. Hoo boy, did they ever get some great marketing advice....
This, by the way, is a real stormer....
I can only think of the Clapton performance of this song on The Last Waltz where his guitar strap pops loose mid solo and Robertson picks it up without missing a beat
nice one
A blues classic to be sure- never heard it done by them though. Nice job.
Watching the Eagles right now and they are fighting back in the final minutes.
Haven't heard this either and my drive is chock full of weird and wonderful Grape. As exhilerating a performance as one expects. One of those groups I wish I'd seen. Hmmm, wonder if Wolfgang's Vault has anything.......
I dig this sound one poster above menthend the last walts I don't remember that but i'll have to watch it again
Do that. But be warned: other than the Band and Eric, most of the rest of the performances are cringe-worthy.
yeah they rest of them were proly so wasted on god knows what bob Dylan looks like some kind of pimp in his white suite they were all messed up
