Remembering the song indian reservation...was supposed to be a solo song by Mark Lindsey...he later had a hit Arizona....collectively with Paul created some great records
I grew up w/ these guys on "Where The Action Is" so many wonderful years ago. Mark was one of the greatest lead singers that ever held a microphone...they DONT make 'em like that anymore. God Bless these guys for all the memories they gave us kids of the 60's. This stuff is priceless to us.
We we living in the PNW when Where The Action Is, was televised. We couldn't wait to rush home from school to watch it daily. PR&TR, were always a treat, since they wete the house band for the show. Lots of great memories.
underrated is the word. i grew up listening to these guys and you couldn't turn on a radio without hearing their music. they had one of the best lead singers in the business in mark lindsay.
@@thecastle09 that's the stupidest fuckin shit I've ever read , granted they had a few hits they were no Beatles. They look like a rip off of Gary Puckett and The Union Gap
This was such an awesome song. It is a crime that The Raiders don't get the credit they deserve. You hear that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?!!!! Paul Revere & The Raiders should be inducted and every band member through the end of their contract with Columbia Records should be included in the induction. I mean, this was the very first Rock and Roll act signed to Columbia Records! The hall of fame needs to pull their snobbish heads out of their asses.
I couldn’t agree more, the so-called hall of fame doesn’t have the raiders or Steppenwolf but does Hall and Oats? Whitney Houston nominated...but not these guys? This is a travesty, like Steve Miller said when finally inducted a couple years ago..it has little to do with rock n roll anymore.
The R & R Hall of fame is pretty clueless. I believe they chose American Pie as one of the top 5 greatest songs of all time , to which I say the song is 7 verses too long and The Hollies are a far better tribute to Buddy Holly than the stinking American Pie song. "Drove my Chevy to the Levy" ... there are no levies in the midwest, and 50's teenagers didn't drink whiskey and rye.
With the way the R+RHOF is "managed" and the non-Rock acts that are in it and the many that should be but are not/its becoming a greater honor to be left out !!!###
They were so fun. I remember well when just a kid and watching them on "Where The Action Is", listening to their albums in the downstairs den, learning the bass lines while their LP's spun on the old hi-fi record player we had down there. And I thought those dance steps were fun, too! Such great times. Very good music to this day. Some of their songs are downright impressive, especially with Mark's vocal work. "Hungry", for example, "Just Like Me" for another... they had some kickin' sound!
laming2006 Watched Where The Action Is, too! It was one of the few teen shows in the afternoon. They made that show!!! Variety shows back in the 60s and 70s were family friendly and lots of fun to watch! Do you remember Hullabaloo and Shindig? They were more in the British Invasion era.
Debby Taylor In Detroit we had Robin Seymour's Swingin' Time in the afternoon. Strangely, one of the first appearances of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention - late '66 or early '67. But, of course, plenty of Motown!
@@Debbyscats I typed in Hullaballoo and it got me here! WHERE THE ACTION IS..."Oh baby c'mon, let me take U where the action is!" That was their theme song!
@@markpierce5811 , I am from Windsor, but moved to Vancouver in 1959. I went back in 1970, and went to a Ted Nugent concert at an old movie theater in Detroit! Do you remember the name of that theater? It was DT Detroit.
They have what music is missing now.....talented musicians nobody plays an instrument anymore all the kids want is computer voice auto tune and rap crap
Sophomore year of high school I would dash off the homeward bus, home to watch them on 'Where The Action Is' playing their electric guitars.....on the beach! Got such a kick (or should I say, 'Kicks') out of that.
Spirit Of 67 is just an outstanding album. So many great singles from this band delivered by one of the all time great rock and roll vocalists. Midnight Ride is another great album.
I was 6yrs old at the time and even then I knew were the action (watched the show) was (only child, no older bros&sis' to clue me in) and how hot Mark Lindsay was, that ponytail blew my mind (especially then!) It was all about Raiders, Beatles and Monkees at the time! Thanks for posting!
Grew up in the 60's digging on the Beatles, Stones, the Who and I have tired of all those groups. This sounds as fresh as it did when I watched it for the first time on TV over 50 years ago!
The Beatles were the common baronmeter and Litmus test that many watched and paid deference to. The release of Sgt.Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, album, marked a definitive turning point for the Beatles, at least on a conventional level. Since they were already moving beyond their former musical styles, with Rubber Soul and Revolver. 1967 is when the Beatles and rock music in general, took a more serious turn.
I love this because this type of entertainment was so much fun to watch. I'm mesmerized just watching the two guitar players do their little dance while playing.
was fortunate to play in a band that had more talent than myself @ the time. We played many friday nite parties and had a great time. The tunes, while cutting edge were not that difficult to emulate and so we acquired a following that was so much fun to be a part of. Turning the clock back in my mind is a real trip to relive. Thanks Raiders for everything.
I think if they didn't wear those outfits but wore street clothes they would've made bigger waves.They had so many good songs.HUNGRY sounds like the Animals doing It's My Life
Randall Kennedy I could see that . Lindsey was every bit the rock singer that jagger and Eric Burdon were . Drake Levin was a very good guitarist . Just like Me rocked and they had great harmony on good thing . Funny to be talking about them on the Fourth of July though LOL
@@randallkennedy2066 C'mon. Really? Ever see Sly and the Family Stone's band? They were a band first. The costumes didn't make a bit of difference. Remember, these guys had to compete with the British Invasion for air play. Pretty hard going up against the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Animals, Kinks, Hollies et.al. and yet they still had great songs.
@@kiltedwolf2Wearing distinctive get ups was a common gimmick during the 60s. The Raiders costumes hardly detracted from their musical offerings. Anyone who couldnt see past the costumes, just never got what the Raiders were all about.
I was privileged to see Paul perform in Marion, Ohio in April, 2014. He used a cane, and his son had to help him on and off stage, but his wit and showmanship were still strong. He was a professional until the end, and I'll miss him.
I saw Paul and a new much of raiders at the Stardust in Vegas back in the 80’s, when I left after the show, the ticket girl asked me how I enjoyed the show, I asked her where was Mark Lindsay ? She said, who’s that? Just wasn’t the same group I grew up listening to in the 60’s. I still listen to their music today!! RIP Paul...
I wonder who their choreographer was. Sweet dance moves. lol Great time period of music. We wouldn't be where we are today without these pioneers of rock.
The "steps" were something best friends Volk and Levin did, they didn't even plan it that way, it just happened, and it became a trademark of the band. It was natural showmanship. Harpo was a good guitarist but he struggled a bit with the steps. I liked him anyway.
Paul Revere and the Raiders had a very strong following in the Seattle area. Local disc jockey at KJR would do short interviews with the band every couple of weeks. They were a great band and live performances of theirs were a blast.
This is one of the first videos I watched when I started up this channel 2 years ago. I was on a huge "Paul Revere & The Raiders" kick. I still think they're awesome!!!! Mark does a great job singing on this!!!
This was the first album I ever bought....remember where and when. Need to listen to it again tomorrow. Glad I kept all my Raider albums. You will be missed, Paul. So glad I got to see you 3 times in the past decade.
The Great Airplane Strike is but one of many examples of why Paul Revere And The Raiders were one of the ten best bands of the twentieth century. One of the few examples of the Jim Valley era Raiders in Action (pun intended). God bless them!
I used to watch all these shows as a teenager back in the 60s. I remember on one show, there was a contest where the winner would win mark Lindsay's ponytail LOL( unfortunately I didn't win)
PP&R's is the very first big concert i ever saw. i was in 8th grade. interestingly i dont remember the guitar and bass guys doing their "steps" like i see in all these videos now. loved this band way back in the day!!!
I couldn't agree with you more about Mark!! Did you know he's touring with the Teen Idol Tour (Peter Noone & Micky Dolenz) starting May 8th in Westbury, NY? I will be there. Haven't seen him in 38 years!! :-)
@@JTRocks4Ever Which would have been very confusing considering that the Ventures were a guitar army who rarely (if ever) SANG on their songs. "Walk, don't run", "Hawaii Five O", "Wipeout", "Apache" et.al. All instrumentals. Great ones but no vocals. I remember the Ventures who were inside my generation. They didn't dance either. ha
@@kiltedwolf2 google it. Its an interview with Paul Revere. Interesting read. He talks about how the band started, how the members came and left, how they ended up wearing the Revolutionary war costumes...and how they got into the sychronized moves. He never mentioned Toni Basil.
Thanks to Fang and everyone for some great radio tracks. When I started in '68 your catalog was "then" - and it sounded great on a loud top-40 AM station like the one(s) I worked at. Coming out of a strong station ID with the first couple of keys on "Just like me" is pure radio power. Cool to think about it again...
I love that guitar walk down lick, kind of like these boots are made for walking except Nancy's was on the bass guitar, same year 1966, I was 10 years old, these guys are the reason I play guitar, every garage band in southern Ca love to try and play these tunes they were part of the music revolution.
Not totally. Drake Levin was the original guitarist, joined the National Guard and replaced by Jim Valley seen here who left soon after due to “creative differences” with Revere/Lindsey.
Brian....glad you posted this...I've always liked your dad and the group....great to be able to listen to their music today...I was around when it was first popular and still like it.
I don't think they ever played live at least on any early television appearances. But then again, who did? I love the choreography with the guitar and bass player. Their greatest hits album is still one of my all-time favorites. Mark Lindsay had that raspy, almost soul searching voice. They really look like they were having fun. What's more important than that? Okay, money.
yes, the Great Airplane Strike--good song, clever lyrics. it was also a "long song" for it's time. most pop/rock tunes ran about two and a half to three minutes. this one clocked out at 4 minutes plus.
+MusicDude86 Don't expect to. These so called "Classic/Oldies Stations" will play the same play list over and over, and if you call and request something outside the format it will not get played, I stopped listening to that format years ago. Thank God for RUclips where one could bring up and listen to what ever one remembers!
One thing I really wish about PR and the Raiders, is that they had done more concerts where you could hear them play and perform several songs. Mostly what we have are singles that aired on various TV shows. This was a really great band, great to watch, great songs overall and really good harmonies on some songs. Maybe they didn't take themselves as seriously as their fans did.
I've always remembered this one (since it was in color unlike Where the Action Is was back then). It aired in winter and I remember my best friend Dayle coming over to see it (they didn't have a color TV yet). After the show, my uncle had to take my friend home and his car had iced over. I just remember the three of us scraping and scraping to get the ice off the windshield, so my girlfriend could get home. My uncle Joe gave me dirty looks for the next week, but Dayle and I had a wonderful time.
I WAS IN THE EIGHTH GRADE AND HAD TABLOID PICTURES ALL OVER MY LOCKER.I WAS IN LOVE WITH MARK LINDSAY AND THEIR MUSIC WAS WAY AHEAD OF ITS TIME.IT WAS RARE I GO 97 CENTS BUT WHEN I DID I WENT AND BOUGHT A 45 RECORD.STILL HAVE MOST OF THEM IN GARAGE.ALL THE WAY UP TO RAP AND THEY RUINED ALL GOOD MUSIC.
I got this album for my 14th Birthday from my 3close friends in Warrenton, Oregon and Debbie Arnold I still consider close and she did most of the work even made me 2 scrapbooks but I lost them after my parents died first I lose them then had the house go in electrical fire 🔥 I truly treasured that album too Thank You Debbie Arnold!
i can remember running home from school to catch the Raiders on Where The Action Is-so great to see so many selections to enjoy again.thanks youtube your my fave music app its hard to pick the best Raiders classic but i choose Good Thing!
Dot Degeorge Ah, KRLA..what a great station with Dave Hull, Casey Kasem and Bob Eubanks. You nmet Mark? Wow, he sure was a good front man....I thought he was wonderful...still tours a little too
susan goryan Yes, they announced that Mark alone was going to be a guest DJ on a Sat. I grabbed my camera and my best friend and I took the bus up to 1401 S Oak Knoll... the Huntington Sheraton, I think it was back then, where KRLA was located on the grounds. I think Johnny Hayes was on that day. We could not get in but waited outside until he came out. My camera failed! but I still have his autograph. He was quite nice to us. Yes, Dave Hull, Bob Eubanks, Rebel Foster, Charlie O'Donnel, Casey Kasem and Dick Biondi...we worshipped them all.
thelosthills Thanks for that...What a great, fun thing...a memory forever !!! I have several of their songs on my IPod and love my rock 'n Roll to get the housework done and get happy doing it!!
I remember growing up with all this positive music(born 1965) and I feel very fortunate to have experienced radio when it was in it's heyday. Also,the first time I saw Adam and the Ants,I thought " this is England's answer to Paul Revere & The Raiders" Not just with the costumes,but wit such a diversity of music.I'll always love y'all. .
I remember this performance. I saw them at my rich uncles house. You know... The Raiders in color! Up to that point I would only see them in Black and White on the Show "Where the Action Is"
Great band w' great music!! They were always very visual and fun to watch on stage. Interesting seeing the bass player using a Hofner Club bass (nice quirky tone).
@SonicWheelRecords It's great to hear Paul Revere And the Raiders on youtube. My older brother who grew up in the 60's and was 15 years older than I, used to let me listen to this song all the time. At 45 years of age now I still DIG it!
Phil and Mark still tour,not together though. They are still belting them out, sounding and looking good. It would be great to get these two R&R Legends to tour together.The Great Airplane Strike is one of my favorites. It was nice that the guitar players got to stay out front for part of the song.

He still around and he’s still great !
YES! He’s still around, does gigs now and then. I’d go see him agsin

The British invasion wasn't fought from LA, New York or MoTown, it was fought from Boise Idaho by these guys. Paul Revere and The Raiders.
Oh how I miss the 60's music.
Blues, pop and rock....these guys could do it all. They did all superbly.
Spirit Of 67 is just an outstanding album. So many great singles from this band delivered by one of the all time great rock and roll vocalists. Midnight Ride is another great album.
Mark was a fantastic front man! This band was so much fun to watch. They certainly influenced my my little 8 yo love for R&R. 💋💋💋 for Mark!
Emphasis on THE SHOW. Costumes, non-stop choreography, and not a hair out of place.
AND... They played their *sses off! Love it.
These guys were so underrated...

What a rare treat. Thank you. Fang and Mark were my favorites.
Fang was always my favorite!
Smitty too!!
Does anyone still love Mark as much as I do in August 2022?
I bought tickets to see Mark in Kansas City with Micky Dolenz. It was worth a plane ticket from Los Angeles!
I haven't heard this in decades. Good song! Sounds like a pinch from the Rolling Stones a la '19th Nervous Breakdown'.
Agreed

The original PR& R up to this line up..the best ! Loved them and still get in the mood to hear the music even in 2020
Not totally. Drake Levin was the original guitarist, joined the National Guard and replaced by Jim Valley seen here who left soon after due to “creative differences” with Revere/Lindsey.
"Here they are for all the youngsters, the Paul Revere & The Raiders."
Bolger was a hopeless square, he meant well but he was unable to get it.
GREAT 60'S band love them I am 62.
Nice to see Ray Bolger as the host.
Paul Revere and the Raiders and Ray Bolger...Awesome!!!!!
Funny how back then, rock music was just for "the kids". It has stood the test of time and now of course is for all ages.
Brian....glad you posted this...I've always liked your dad and the group....great to be able to listen to their music today...I was around when it was first popular and still like it.
I don't think they ever played live at least on any early television appearances. But then again, who did? I love the choreography with the guitar and bass player. Their greatest hits album is still one of my all-time favorites. Mark Lindsay had that raspy, almost soul searching voice. They really look like they were having fun. What's more important than that? Okay, money.
Just learned the bass line to this one. One of the Raiders best tunes. You never hear it get airplay on any oldies station.
yes, the Great Airplane Strike--good song, clever lyrics. it was also a "long song" for it's time. most pop/rock tunes ran about two and a half to three minutes. this one clocked out at 4 minutes plus.
+MusicDude86 Don't expect to. These so called "Classic/Oldies Stations" will play the same play list over and over, and if you call and request something outside the format it will not get played, I stopped listening to that format years ago. Thank God for RUclips where one could bring up and listen to what ever one remembers!
It IS a bit dated, but still great!
Which is interesting, considering how huge of a hit it was at the time.
My 8 track in my 66 mustang really had great stereo separation on this song in particular.
One thing I really wish about PR and the Raiders, is that they had done more concerts where you could hear them play and perform several songs. Mostly what we have are singles that aired on various TV shows. This was a really great band, great to watch, great songs overall and really good harmonies on some songs. Maybe they didn't take themselves as seriously as their fans did.
Met Fang at Sam Ash in Vegas he was working there very nice guy thanks Fang..
I still don't understand why Madonna, Donna Summer, Public and Enemy are in the R&R HOF before Paul Revere and the Raiders. Blows my mind....
Rush is in no Raiders...
They were a great band, one of my favorites then and now.
Great video....!
I remember watching this as a teen what times we had
I've always remembered this one (since it was in color unlike Where the Action Is was back then). It aired in winter and I remember my best friend Dayle coming over to see it (they didn't have a color TV yet). After the show, my uncle had to take my friend home and his car had iced over. I just remember the three of us scraping and scraping to get the ice off the windshield, so my girlfriend could get home. My uncle Joe gave me dirty looks for the next week, but Dayle and I had a wonderful time.
I WAS IN THE EIGHTH GRADE AND HAD TABLOID PICTURES ALL OVER MY LOCKER.I WAS IN LOVE WITH MARK LINDSAY AND THEIR MUSIC WAS WAY AHEAD OF ITS TIME.IT WAS RARE I GO 97 CENTS BUT WHEN I DID I WENT AND BOUGHT A 45 RECORD.STILL HAVE MOST OF THEM IN GARAGE.ALL THE WAY UP TO RAP AND THEY RUINED ALL GOOD MUSIC.
I got this album for my 14th Birthday from my 3close friends in Warrenton, Oregon and Debbie Arnold I still consider close and she did most of the work even made me 2 scrapbooks but I lost them after my parents died first I lose them then had the house go in electrical fire 🔥 I truly treasured that album too Thank You Debbie Arnold!
i can remember running home from school to catch the Raiders on Where The Action Is-so great to see so many selections to enjoy again.thanks youtube your my fave music app its hard to pick the best Raiders classic but i choose Good Thing!
Me too. We just dated ourselves...lol. Met Mark at KRLA when he did a guest host appearance.
Me too...Another of Dick Clark's discoveries. He really gave them a big start on that show.
Dot Degeorge Ah, KRLA..what a great station with Dave Hull, Casey Kasem and Bob Eubanks. You nmet Mark? Wow, he sure was a good front man....I thought he was wonderful...still tours a little too
susan goryan Yes, they announced that Mark alone was going to be a guest DJ on a Sat. I grabbed my camera and my best friend and I took the bus up to 1401 S Oak Knoll... the Huntington Sheraton, I think it was back then, where KRLA was located on the grounds. I think Johnny Hayes was on that day. We could not get in but waited outside until he came out. My camera failed! but I still have his autograph. He was quite nice to us. Yes, Dave Hull, Bob Eubanks, Rebel Foster, Charlie O'Donnel, Casey Kasem and Dick Biondi...we worshipped them all.
thelosthills Thanks for that...What a great, fun thing...a memory forever !!! I have several of their songs on my IPod and love my rock 'n Roll to get the housework done and get happy doing it!!
I remember growing up with all this positive music(born 1965) and I feel very fortunate to have experienced radio when it was in it's heyday. Also,the first time I saw Adam and the Ants,I thought " this is England's answer to Paul Revere & The Raiders" Not just with the costumes,but wit such a diversity of music.I'll always love y'all.
.
Yes. One can discern the connection with Adam Ant and the Raiders.
I remember this performance. I saw them at my rich uncles house. You know... The Raiders in color! Up to that point I would only see them in Black and White on the Show "Where the Action Is"
Their song Indian Reservation is a classic and should be regarded as a one of the most meaningful songs of the 20th Century
they wore the coolest outfits
Radiers are the bomb!!!
Great band w' great music!! They were always very visual and fun to watch on stage. Interesting seeing the bass player using a Hofner Club bass (nice quirky tone).
The bass player's nickname was "Fang". Met these guys years ago (when we were all young), and they were really nice.
Highland804 did you become a groupie?
Sort of. ;)
Er, no. LOL
lenspaulding I'll bet you did.
@SonicWheelRecords It's great to hear Paul Revere And the Raiders on youtube. My older brother who grew up in the 60's and was 15 years older than I, used to let me listen to this song all the time. At 45 years of age now I still DIG it!
Paul Revere and the Raiders were featured quite a bit in the film "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood,starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt.
Phil and Mark still tour,not together though. They are still belting them out, sounding and looking good. It would be great to get these two R&R Legends to tour together.The Great Airplane Strike is one of my favorites. It was nice that the guitar players got to stay out front for part of the song.
I never noticed the slight resemblance to "19th Nervous Breakdown" until today
Can you imagine...CLEAN, HAPPY music for the "kids"? Anyone want to listen to rap right now?
NO, NO AND HELL NO.
Can't believe I found found this, I was in the audience, no pan of it but I was there.
PR&TRs are just high energy rock and roll. Love 'em!
They were one of my favorites in high school and college.
They were just fun with some memorable music.
