The Grape were fucking awesome, but the Dead are in a different league altogether. I would never go so far as to say they blew the Dead away, different things.

Love The Grape. Skip Spence was the shit. This band blew the Airplane and the Dead away in my book. Anyone tend to agree.

I worked in the 60s in TV stations for CBS, ABC & local networks. I can confirm there was not all the technology you needed for a live band to play. maybe one monitor & the techs often kept the band at bay, not the bands fault. You may get lucky & have 1 or 2 Fairchilds (602 )or Pultecs, Gates Sta-level, CBS Volumax/Audimax & very basic desk eq/limiting & pre amps and little time to set up. The components we use today just were not around in the 60s. The Grape were 1 of the better bands around.

Sure you did. If this was 1967 or after there was all the technology you needed.

Those who defend these clowns have got the right to. But things like keeping the host waiting to tuning your instruments only seconds before performing to making all that backstage noise to pulling those dumb and condescending faces reeks of pretention and self importance.

A band that sucks its own dick by claiming to "bridge the geography gap" (whatever that meant) is a bore.

You're aware they didn't have stage monitors back then, right?

Terrible stage presence...probably the only band to be making back stage noise and keeping the host waiting during the taping of a show they're on.

Pretentious and self important...especially for a band singing out of tune and playing slightly off rhythm.

Too bad the lead singer's microphone wasn't working....Great band, good songs, lousy quality audio and video....but, fun to watch anyway....

They're grape colored for sure.
