Moby Grape / Big Brother Holding Co Handbill
<B>Moby Grape/Big Brother and the Holding Company Anderson Theater Concert Handbill (1968).</B></I> The San Francisco band Moby Grape headed into New York during the winter of 1968 in order to record their second album for Colombia Records. The experience nearly destroyed the band. Singer/guitarist Skip Spence apparently lost his mind during the sessions, and decided to take an axe to drummer Don Stevenson; he was stopped, but wound up spending a year in Bellevue's psychiatric ward. Somehow during all this madness, the band found time to book a couple of gigs, with British art rockers Procal Harum opening. This black on yellow bond handbill also advertises a later show featuring Janis Joplin's Big Brother and the Holding Company, with B. B. King. Crazy, man!
