Songstress Arwen Lewis and dad Peter Lewis (of the dynamic frontline of singer/guitarists in 1960s San Francisco's Moby Grape) appeared in the suitably psychedelic light show of Cafe NELA on 10.23.16. With bassist Nick Babishoff, Arwen and Peter sang their set of solo originals and Grape covers with all electric accompaniment.
Peter was celebrated for his ballad contributions to Moby Grape as much as his rockers, and both show up here. I for one was thrilled to hear one particular deviation from their own penned material, a second Skip Spence song besides "Omaha" from the Grape debut album, the rocket blast of "Indifference". These two strong singers traded its call and response alternate verses to great effect, alongside Peter's legendary picking. Whew!
Set list for this show...
