The Uptones 1983ish - Teenage Love Story

The Uptones around 1983 playing "teenage love story." At the Keystone Berkeley on University Avenue. Erik Rader on vocals. Don't know all the members names but here's my best shot - Erik Rader (vocals), Eric Dinwiddie (lead guitar), Charles Stella (rhythm guitar), Ken Brooks (reeds), Paul Jackson (trumpet), Michael Wadman (trombone), Ben Eastwood (bass), Thomas White (Drums) and Greg Blanch (keyboards)

Thanks. I updated the personnel note. It could certainly have been 1982. Did Chris Isaak and Silvertone open for you that night?

Wow! I have so many memories of that club (and the Square, etc) and the Uptones. Great times... miss all the fab Berkeley clubs.

I have a lot more from this show. I need to get around to digitizing it. Those were the days!!!

[BWM206]

entirely possible. damn my missing brain cells....they certainly did open for us at one or two of our shows. chris had some awesome cowboy minstrel suits back in those days.....

wow, that takes me back!

although at about 1:28 all i can think about is, "it;s peanut butter jelly time!"

not certain but it could very well be 82. i can't remember when i got that jacket. it was nice, silk with covered buttons. drums is thomas white, keyboards is gregory blanche.
