 I'm not a fan of Ultimate Spinach, but I *do* swear by Moby Grape.
 Proggie they ain't, but they play superior hard country rock.  These
 guys did what Lynyrd Skynyrd became stars doing, ten years earlier and
 (IMHO) better.
 They showed up in NYC the other week to do a couple of club dates, with
 three of the original members (Peter Lewis, Jerry Miller, and Bob
 Mosely), a new drummer (Don Stevenson is apparently selling condo
 time-shares these days), and Sam Andrews of Big Brother and the Holding
 Company filling in for Skip Spence.  (Spence faxed a greeting from
 Laguna during the set.  "He's a couch potato now.  Really!" commented
 Mosely.)
 30 years later, and these guys still rocked like crazy and seemed to
 be loving it.  They did most of the first album, which is one of my all
 time favorites, so I was *very* happy camper.
