This has to be one of the best and most beautiful songs ever! So glad to see there is video of it. Kinda sad to watch knowing the end of the band is right around the corner.
Ah, nice stuff. Skip was gone both literally and figuratively. A hugely talented band and if you saw them live with Skip, you never forgot them. I was lucky enough and have never forgot their show.
@TheP00pBandit I understand your skepticism, but it is out-of-place here. The Grape members are the nicest, most accepting folks you'd ever want to meet - and so are their fans. (Ask B.B. King.! ;) So, take this young man at his word and welcome him - Skip would have. (Hey Granpa!) If you can't, I doubt that their music will speak very deeply to you.
@bellafication Aw, you have rock royalty in your blood young person. Is your dad Omar? He's amazing, too. I hope you've seen all the great videos with Skip Spence in them, and read all the wonderful comments about him. Blessings.
This is my favorite song ever recorded!!!! Cool, Meditative, Contemplative, Happy and Sad at the same time. Haunting in its sense of deep longing. It is the longing for joy and meaning and deep, deep connection that makes the anticipation of some -thing usually greater than the thing. The longing is what transcends!!! This song is a pipeline into this deep longing We could start every day with this song!! I play this for everyone and it ALWAYS blows them away like Nick Drake Northern Sky
Lovely, lovely, lovely. Moby Grape should be a household name, and the surviving band members should be free from taxes in America for the rest of their lives.
@NorthTulsaBoy Free from taxes forever...well said tulsa...better yet, free from obamacare, free from having to EVER seeing hillary's mug again, free from liberal media pukes turning this great country into a socialist death-camp ruled by ivy-league pantywastes that have never mowed a lawn much less worked a day in their sissy lives, and finally free from islamic primitives that want to kill us all because President Allen West smoked them FIRST...i think we can all agree on these issues, no?
@akitaman101 Don't like liberals? Fine, then give us back our clean air and water standards, the 40 hour work week, the social security program, the civil rights movement, free speech movement, discrimination protection, school lunch program, birth control, rural electrification, organized labor, child-labor laws, minimum wage, employee health benefits, public assistance, Americans with Disabilities Act, fair housing legislation, freedom of information act, voting rights act......tbc....
@RPKIII, that's pretty simplified, don't you think? Adolf Hitler did most of those things for Germany and I don't see anyone calling him a "liberal"....
@akitaman101 ...cont....food and drug safety regulations, federally subsidized student loans, collecive barganing and every thing else we have done to put power back in the hands of the individual, and out of the hands of the ruling and corporae elite. Thank you! :)
this videos great.....the guitar player looks like he's about to burst out laughing and the bass player looks really really hung over....it was a good thing the people filming it avoided their fret work.............lol..............great song
I remember seeing the Grape do this on a syndicated show Jerry Lewis show. Always wondered if it would surface; not sure if this is it, but it will do. Appreciative.
Skip Spence was OAR. He'll live on forever.

Effortless genius. The James Dean of rock bands. Gone too soon.

I've got a feeling that Gun's n Roses got their idea for the song "Patience" from this song. The whistleing is almost identical.

This was after Skippy left the band. The bass player is none other than Bob Mosely who would quit the band soon after this to join the marines.
