210. MOBY GRAPE’S DON STEVENSON REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND THE HISTORY OF THE BAND PART 2 (GRAPE EXPECTATIONS EPISODE 5) (WOW/GRAPE JAM, MOBY GRAPE '69)

Episode 5 of our Grape Expectations Series is the podcast to hear if you ever wondered what it felt like to be hunted down by a psychedelically deranged band member wielding a fire axe. Welcome to Part 2 of my conversation with Don Stevenson, in which we cover the most harrowing period of his life, not to mention the band’s career (1967-1969). Don says this will be the very last time he’ll be talking about his time in Moby Grape, so you absolutely will not want to miss this.

Here’s just a few of the many things that Don discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

  • How Moby Grape wound up blowing it at Monterey Pop;
  • The point at which their manager Matthew Katz went to war with the band;
  • The experience of touring the country at the same time as The Fake Grape;
  • And a track-by-track discussion of both Wow/Grape Jam and Moby Grape ’69.
