Music

For a Monday morning - Moby Grape's 8:05.

These guys were 2nd tier, but I think that was mostly because they were under-produced.  A better producer would've pushed them to write better tunes and to tighten up the all around execution.  But this is Revolution Rock, so "the old guy influence of the establishment" is nowhere to be found, which makes for a raw and visceral feel.  You just play; you let it happen; you turn it loose in the cosmos and it goes where it goes, man.

Anyway, it's easy to hear where guys like Jim Croce and Gordon Lightfoot came from in this cut.
