213B. MOBY GRAPE BIOGRAPHER CAM COBB REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND SKIP SPENCE (PART 5: THE 1970’s: SKIP DREAMS BIG, THEN NOT AT ALL) (GRAPE EXPECTATIONS EPISODE 11)

Here’s just a few of the many things that Cam discusses with Discograffiti in Part 5 of our discussion:

  • The importance of meeting Gordon Stevens at the beginning of the 1970’s;
  • Skip’s plans to mount an surprisingly ambitious live show around his Oar LP;
  • Moby Grape’s reunion…and also the very first reunion in rock history;
  • The disastrous consequences of Skip tossing his psych meds out a car window;
  • Bill Graham’s Moby Grape meltdown;
  • Whatever happened with Skip’s short-lived 1972 band The Yankees;
  • And Moby Grape’s cocaine era.
