Dinosaurs was also a supergroup formed by the veteran musicians from the San Francisco psychedelic scene in the mid to late 60's, active as a band from 1982 to 1996, touring sporadically but intensely and releasing only one self-titled album in 1988. Members through the years included Quicksilver Messenger Service's guitarist John Cippolina, Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter on vocals and guitar, Country Joe & The Fish's Bary The Fish Melton on guitar, Big Brother & The Holding Company's bassist Peter Albin, Jefferson Airplane's and New Riders of the Purple Sage's drummer Spencer Dryden, Jerry Garcia associate Merl Saunders on keyboards, Moby Grape's guitarist Jerry Miller, Jefferson Airplane's, Hot Tuna's and Jefferson Starship's fiddler Papa John Creach, It's a Beautiful Day's electric violinist's David LaFlamme and others. They often opened shows for the Grateful Dead, causing more excitement on the public than most other bands that opened for them. The Dinosaurs were one of St. Louis' original punk bands, fronted by Bob Reuter, who was also the bass player. The Dinosaurs helped lay the groundwork for today's DIY scene with their kick-ass, unapologetic rock & roll. Read more on Last.fm.
