    1991, at the Reindeer Tavern on the Mt. Rose Highway, with an underage and expecting Jennifer. I won the tickets calling in to the X from the Flower Bucket. The name "Moby Grape" was sort of a stretch; the lineup was predominantly Jerry Miller and maybe one other original member. No mad Spence, tho' he was still alive then and occasionally played with them. So they stayed away from the psychedelic and stuck to the blues & country, which was sufficient for the time, I think.
