212. MOBY GRAPE’S PETER LEWIS REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND THE HISTORY OF THE BAND PART 3 (GRAPE EXPECTATIONS EPISODE 9)

Welcome to Part 3, and the final installment of my conversation with Peter Lewis, a one-of-a-kind discussion that leapfrogs incessantly from one shocking revelation to the next. Here’s just a few of the many things that Peter discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:   That time he took psilocybin with some hit men; How he was hoodwinked into participating in the 20 Granite Creek project; Robert Plant’s favorite Moby Grape song;  What he did during his 1971-1977 self-ordained “Wandering Phase”; An almost unbearably intense retelling of the Skip Spence monastery exorcism tale; The Moby Grape album that was mainly an excuse to vacuum up as much cocaine as was humanly possible; And a full rundown of the circumstances behind The Real Potato’s shelving (Director’s Cut only).   Listen: linktr.ee/discograffiti   I support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income.    If you’re a Moby Grape & Skip Spence superfan like me, The Director’s Cut of this episode is ad-free and features 25 additional minutes of essential material.    Purchase The Director’s Cut as a one-off at https://www.patreon.com/discograffiti   Purchase the full Grape Expectations Collection: www.patreon.com/collection/1467935   Subscribe to Discograffiti’s Patreon at the Major Tier and receive a ceaseless barrage (4 shows a week) of must-hear binge-listening: Patreon.com/Discograffiti   Order Cam Cobb’s Skip Spence bio: https://a.co/d/iuSyBGc   CONNECT Join our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153 Patreon: www.Patreon.com/Discograffiti Podfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠ YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Discograffiti Order the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.
