Description:

[ERA : 60s / Psych, West Coast ] The first official collection of concert recordings by the legendary San Francisco band at its blazing late-Sixties peak! Moby Grape, in their prime, were also one of the Bay Area's, and America's, best stage bands, like the Beatles and Rolling Stones in one, with a breathtaking triple-guitar attack and stunning four-part vocal harmonies. 'Live' is the long-awaited proof. It features more than an hour of dynamite performances from soundboard and broadcast tapes, including tracks from the Avalon Ballroom in 1967 and the band's complete long-lost set at the Monterey Pop Festival, just a week after their debut LP 'Moby Grape' came out. There are live versions of the great rare Grape songs 'Rounder' and 'Looper' and five tracks from a famous Dutch radio show featuring the hard-charging '69 lineup of Miller, Mosley, Lewis and Stevenson. The CD climaxes with the historic first-ever release of Spence's acid-guitar masterpiece 'Dark Magic', never recorded in the studio by the original band but presented here in an epic 17-minute performance at the Avalon, on New Year's Eve 1966. These four-decade-old recordings have been spectacularly mastered and this album comes with sumptuous packaging and rare photos, in true Sundazed style, plus liner notes by Rolling Stone writer and Moby Grape authority David Fricke. It is San Francisco psychedelia at its zenith and one of the best historical rock releases of the year. / Ain't No Use * Rounder * Looper * Bitter Wind * Changes * Indifference * Someday * Introduction * Indifference * Mr. Blues * Sitting by the Window * Omaha * Sweet Little Angel * Murder in My Heart for the Judge * Am Not Willing * Trucking Man * Fall on You * Omaha * Dark Magic
