This topic was inspired by the fact that I didn't have anyplace to post about the upcoming Branford at Stanford show except Best Shows by Other Bands, which is about PAST shows....

Reptiles Reunion Sept. 4

avatar

just a heads up if you're in the Bay Area--on September 4, David Gans's old band the Reptiles will reunite to honor the memory of founding member Al Feldstein, who passed on a couple months back. It's at the Starry Plough in Berkeley (as the name suggests, a neighborhood pub awash in Irish revolutionary slogans...) at 9 p.m. Venue is tiny, band is good, I'm looking forward to seeing some old pals. Music is Dead and other covers as well as originals that are darn good. Hope to see some of you there!

Al Feldstein and the Reptiles

I met Al when I moved to Berkeley in 1973 and we played music together off and on for 35 years. Losing him is like having a huge thread yanked from the tapestry of my life. He was also one of my great show buddies in the '70s, and the guy who introduced me to the fact that there were tapes of Dead shows! He was cranky and opinionated and a hell of a guy who was loved by a hell of a lot of people.
