@@JohnnyNation yep! they always stayed at the Jamaica Motel in Portland when they were playing in the area and we, "The Fabulons" were often invited to hang after the shows!
I was under the assumption that the Fabulons were Theo Patterson , Dale Coloma, and Ollie Smith (R.I.P.). Our backup groups were first, The Rialtos, and then The Tikis. ...and yes we hung out at the Jamaica Motel after shows.
After this came out, every band was playing Louie Louie at all the college campuses and it was so much fun to dance to! Washington State even tried to make this its state song. Love love loved Paul Revere and the Raiders! Such great memories.

This is an absolutely hilarious video. The sax falling apart, playing the drums with a fly swatter, the guy stepping off the stage etc etc. I love this vid. TYVM to the poster. :)

@@DarkfiendsAngel Hey! That is very good to know, I just can’t stop myself from listening to this song anytime am alone! If I may ask which of all their songs is your favourite? Have a great day… Stay Safe
I really dig how Mark Lindsay, Fang, and Drake Levin did the "Raider" kick at the end of this video. Paul Revere & The Raiders were a real tight band in their day.
Paul Revere and the Raiders were my first concert at the Corpus Christi TX Coliseum, my sisters took me. I was 7 years old and fell in love with Mark Lindsey. ❤❤❤❤❤
Danced @ Parker’s on HWY 99 Seattle WA to these amazing musicians! They are so funny too!! My daughter sent me the music & said are these the Beach boys? I really like them!! I’m almost 73, she’s 41… she knows the beat, maybe not the name, but it’s 😎. I took my son up to Vancouver Canada one night after seeing shift @ Boeing to see Michael Jackson when he was still young… my son was probably 10-11 yrs old. ( had him when I was 17 &1/2. That was one of the greatest concerts ever & I’ve seen Jimi Hendrix, loving spoonful, Little Stevie Wonder, The Young Rascals (3x), Rate Earth, Isley Brothers, Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire ( what a concert! Came from above w/white smoke( dry ice) George Benson, Bad Company, Emy Lou Harris, dang there’s more. Last group I saw was moody blues @ the gorge but too high to get out of the suv w/too high friends. Ridiculous! I stopped after that… getting high that is & concerts…😎😂😂
Just saw him Sat. night at Hot August Nights. 73 yrs. old and still puts on a great show. Missed Mark Lindsey but Paul is still the wild and crazy guy he was 50 years ago.
It was a dark day when this Rock'n' Roll icon passed form this earth to the Home in Heaven. We will miss his great music and his fun personality, but Heaven will be richer for it. He is there now entertaining those whom have gone before us, and he will be there to entertain us once again someday. I was there from the beginning, have all of the original band's albums and have loved them from day one. Their music, their fun on stage; and, if you have ever been one of the lucky ones who had one of his three-cornered hats sent flying out to you from stage AND still have that hat, you have truly been blessed for it! Their music was always so fun to dance to also. RIP Paul and hope to see you on the other side someday. God bless you for the legacy you have left us.
back about 25 years ago while in early high school I had this "various artist " album , orange non-descript cover, I acquired from my parents along with some other gems.(along with a bang and olefson turntable and bose 901s....and I used to complain about not having anything....sheeeesh.) the only song I played was this insane version louie louie. I nor anybody I knew ever heard this version and I would blow peoples minds with it. this sounds almost exactly like the version on that album which in fact is a live version.the only diff I can hear from memory is that the album version is cleaner.(this video of the show really might be that recording.) 3 years ago it dawned on me to check e-bay. OMG they had 3 of them and 2 were mint. bought all three.i never in a million years would of thought a video existed. I just felt the same joy I felt the first time I played that album. THANK YOU king vidiot !!!
Wonder was the guy in the back mimicking the Kingsmen when the Bass Player slipped off the platform on one of the shows. That emcee asked was anybody hurt and did they have Blue Cross Blue shield payed up. Funny.

I'm sad to hear about Paul Revere passing. He was an honorable man and a true performer who knew in his heart what rock & roll is about. RIP my friend!
Mark Lindsay could play a mean sax --wish he was playing on this clip. Loved the Raiders and so glad I was able to see Paul Revere in concert with the "new" Raiders several times in the past 10 years. You will be missed.

The kids at my high school in my freshman year wore out this record in the jukebox! It must've made the school lots of coin! I must've heard it a thousand times and never got tired of listening (or dancing) to it!
@alonenjersey You are so right...PR and the Raiders added so much to the tune...Kingsmen don't hold a candle...Has any one ever heard the song "Over You" by Paul Revere and the Raiders?
My wife grew up in the Portland area and saw the Raiders several times, like at the Armory and Headless Horseman and other venues from back in the day. I was too close to Canada to do that. Stones throw from the British Columbia border. Heard their tunes on the RADIO though.

I know I sound like a broken record, but this is the best version ever - and I've heard about a dozen different recordings! Mark's voice beats out all the rest!
I swear I remember watching them playing this live, with Mark on the tenor sax. Not the toy he has here. I had the same one. Got it for Christmas, that year.
I'm from Tacoma....imagine these guys at the Armory back in the 60's with the Sonics, Don and the Goodtimes, The Wailers.....man, I'm old!!! The Raiders DO own this.
Mark Lindsey told an interviewer howThe Kingsmen recorded their version of Louie Louie 3 days before the Raiders recorded theirs, which got The Kingsmen's version on the air first. Mark Lindsey laments that the Kingsmen's Louie Louie may have become the "standard" version that listeners think of because of that
Wonderful and very amusing video - a fantastic group throughout several incarnations, beginning as "teen heart throbs" with talent - and clever enough to "take the mickey" out of themselves and the 60s pop scene - I think it might be Rhino records has/had the best of their compilations (also check out Raven records - Australia) Always loved this band...
We have a local reunion band who gets together every year to raise money for a local food pantry and they sing this song every year, They played back in the 60s when I was in high school!
@paleblue498 Yes! A crying shame that old time radio stations will gladly play The Kingsmen version yet never knew of the better version by these cats.
Remember these guys were the feature band for TV's Where the Action is! Awesome show for daytime tv. Freddie Cannon sang the theme song, but the Raiders were mouthing it.
I remember watching Paul and the Raiders on "Where The Action Is" back in the 60's with my sister. She had a crush on both Mark and Fang. Pretty sure they were a staple on the show.
The Mono LP of "Paul Revere & The & The Raiders Greatest Hits" contained this version with screaming live overdubs laced all over it. Still, it is MUCH more exciting sounding in its tampered form there than the more common Stereo version heard on the Stereo LP of the same album (and later CD).
Mark Lindsay, such a sexy spazz. This is great. I loved the silly antics of PR and the Raiders. I remember watching them on Where The Action Is when I was 5 or 6. My teenaged sister used to have me watch these things with her. I am so glad she did.

When any band played this, everybody danced--no one sat it out. Sometimes they played it for 30 minutes at a time and improvised lyrics, some were x-rated. Some bands played this several times per night. It was popular for years.

my home town wouldn't play this song on the radio, but a "float" played it in a prade in the town with the world's largest shamrock. I could NEVER understand the lyrics (people said they were dirty), but I loved it because of it's loud beat, and it was fast, and fun to dance to. I was "Proper", but din't care what other people thought, or said.
I owned this one on vinyl and some other albums they produced. Northwest migration of the material from surf style groups increased the popularity of the tune and the US garage bands ate it up. The Kingsmen's version had a lot to do with further advancing the instrumental breaks younger bands were taking. Just a thought.
PR and the Raiders were on 750 tv shows and hosted Dick Clarks Happening 68 tv show which aired Jan 68 until May of 69. No other Rock and roll act has been on more tv than these guys who were real showman.Long live PR and the Raiders!
@kingvidiot66 Agreed. In his book Louie Louie, Dave Marsh tells the story of how the Kingsmen scooped the Raiders and had the big hit with the song, even though the Raiders' version was out first. The other funny thing is that the Kingsmen's version was a rehearsal take. They thought they were doing a run-through and were shocked when the producer told them that was it. That's what accounts for the famous mistake in the last verse when the singer comes in a bar too early with "Me see..."
They appeared on Johnny Carson and did this raw version of "Big Boy Pete" great raw clip posted on RUclips after Paul's death under "Rest In Peace Paul Revere"
Take time to check out on You Tube all the other great bands playing the Pacific. NW in the Sixties, The Sonics, Wailers, Ventures and even that great band from England, the Liverpool Five, who they all played with .
Has anyone noticed that Paul & company are the only Group that played the song to the orginal beat that Richard Berry & Rockin Robin Roberts & the Wailers played too . The Kingsmen and every Group from that point in time have played the song to a different beat
Just about every group in the Pacific Northwest recorded this song. Raiders actually recorded it before Kingsmen, but they released it first. Been a movement (don't know if stll active) to get Louie, Louie declared Washington state song!
lol; I really dig the way Smitty says "Grab your woman, it's a Louie Louie time!!" at the beginning of this video. Also when Mark Lindsay clowns around by holding the sax to his ear and then it falls apart and then Mark tries to hide it in his back and Smitty cracks up. Also when Mark whispers in Paul's ear and Paul goes "Waahh Hahhh!" After Mark, Fang and Drake do that really cool "Raider" kick Fang hits Mark on the head with the toy guitar!!! lol!!! RIP Drake and Smitty
When Mark Lindsay said "Give me a Big F Sharp", Paul did. He gave us a Big Fantastic life full of memories. I heard Drake and Smitty helped open the door for Paul. Now you other guys, don't be in no rush to join them...we need ya for awhile longer
I don't know which version I like better, they are both great. But this one sure has more life to it. Maybe the Kingsmen version is better for the radio, where this one is best for live venues.

Paul Revere and the Raiders a iconic West Coast Band I give this song a listen everyday before the nurses here come by and make me turn it down.
This is, by far, the best version of this song. Loved this band, we even opened for them once at the Portland Armory!
@@JohnnyNation yep! they always stayed at the Jamaica Motel in Portland when they were playing in the area and we, "The Fabulons" were often invited to hang after the shows!
By far only after you know who.
I was under the assumption that the Fabulons were Theo Patterson , Dale Coloma, and Ollie Smith (R.I.P.). Our backup groups were first, The Rialtos, and then The Tikis. ...and yes we hung out at the Jamaica Motel after shows.
❤That Sax!🎷Love the lead picking too🎸
Opened for them?!! Oh that’s cool,man!🎼🤩
After this came out, every band was playing Louie Louie at all the college campuses and it was so much fun to dance to! Washington State even tried to make this its state song. Love love loved Paul Revere and the Raiders! Such great memories.
I saw them at the Lake Oswego armory in 1964 just outside of Portland Oregon.

Louie Louie,” a song written by Richard Berry and first recorded by Berry and his band, the Pharaohs, in 1957
the best version ever!
mark is one of the greatest frontmen/stars of the 60s.
RIP Paul......you will not be forgotten. You left a mark on Rock and Roll forever + showmanship. THE BEST!

From Idaho!
A massive live performance and a cover...! 🕵🏻🎶😃👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I'm sad to hear about Paul Revere passing. He was an honorable man and a true performer who knew in his heart what rock & roll is about. RIP my friend!
I remember them playing at the Brass Lamp here in Boise, Idaho.
Great version of Louie Louie, such great fun HS in the 60's.
Love this, the silliness and a young Mark Lindsay and his amazing voice.
I'm 18 now and i think it gives songs that are so great that the age doesn't matter in enjoying 'em...

this is one of the best versions of the song! 1965 GTO convertable, tiki joe hats, white t-shirts and shorts, crusin'!
The kids at my high school in my freshman year wore out this record in the jukebox! It must've made the school lots of coin! I must've heard it a thousand times and never got tired of listening (or dancing) to it!
Back when it was still okay to smile and have fun on stage. Every one knew you were lip-syncing but nobody cared.
They HATED lip-syncing so they made a big joke of it
Mark Lindsay sure could belt it out. On many other songs to including Steppin' Stone. Recorded by Paul Revere and The Raiders Before The Monkees.
You were a lucky bugger...both great rockers deserving more appreciation but glad they can now be found on You Tube. Thanks for the post.
I've seen the Beatles, Beach Boys, and Rolling Stones--to name a few--play live on 60s TV.
@alonenjersey You are so right...PR and the Raiders added so much to the tune...Kingsmen don't hold a candle...Has any one ever heard the song "Over You" by Paul Revere and the Raiders?
What a great performance. Way back in the day this was a big party song. I wonder if it still is? Good memories.
My wife grew up in the Portland area and saw the Raiders several times, like at the Armory and Headless Horseman and other venues from back in the day. I was too close to Canada to do that. Stones throw from the British Columbia border. Heard their tunes on the RADIO though.
I first saw them when I was a little girl. Still watching them still. LOL They were good. \m/

Me Too. Just getting to luv those sixties bands touring the Pac NW including Sonics and Liverpool Five. Thanks to sites like this on You Tube.
Love Mark Lindsay & that sexy voice of his!
The definitive band--Paul, Mark, Phil, Smitty and Drake.
I totally agree with you. Nobody better than Mark, Fang, and God bless him Drake. Jannis Melius.
I swear I remember watching them playing this live, with Mark on the tenor sax. Not the toy he has here. I had the same one. Got it for Christmas, that year.
THANKS for the memory!! Another great post. This was feel good, fun time group then and they still are!!
My favorite version, I liked it the first time I heard it! One of their many great ones!!

love the "dirty" sound of this
they are great
I saw them a few years ago and they rocked!
I always looked forward to watching them play on Where The Action Is. They never disappointed!
Love this natural sound that is missing in today's music.....awesome..

The Mono LP of "Paul Revere & The & The Raiders Greatest Hits" contained this version with screaming live overdubs laced all over it. Still, it is MUCH more exciting sounding in its tampered form there than the more common Stereo version heard on the Stereo LP of the same album (and later CD).
Paul Revere and The Raiders were a great group who put out a lot of good music. One day they will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

my home town wouldn't play this song on the radio, but a "float" played it in a prade in the town with the world's largest shamrock. I could NEVER understand the lyrics (people said they were dirty), but I loved it because of it's loud beat, and it was fast, and fun to dance to. I was "Proper", but din't care what other people thought, or said.

@alonenjersey i'm with you!! I'm 20 years old and i love this old music!!! My dad turned me on to this stuff and i love it!!
Back in those days groups seemed to be forced to work with prerecordings for TV but these guys were very talented.
They appeared on Johnny Carson and did this raw version of "Big Boy Pete" great raw clip posted on RUclips after Paul's death under "Rest In Peace Paul Revere"
So talented.
Take time to check out on You Tube all the other great bands playing the Pacific. NW in the Sixties, The Sonics, Wailers, Ventures and even that great band from England, the Liverpool Five, who they all played with .
Sickening shtick. I remember it well, Where The Action Is at lunchtime.
Has anyone noticed that Paul & company are the only Group that played the song to the orginal beat that Richard Berry & Rockin Robin Roberts & the Wailers played too . The Kingsmen and every Group from that point in time have played the song to a different beat
Just about every group in the Pacific Northwest recorded this song. Raiders actually recorded it before Kingsmen, but they released it first. Been a movement (don't know if stll active) to get Louie, Louie declared Washington state song!
lol; I really dig the way Smitty says "Grab your woman, it's a Louie Louie time!!" at the beginning of this video.

Mark playing around. 🙂😆🎶🎬🎥
Paul Revere and the raiders had way more soul singing louio Loui, than anybody else, the ultimate party tune of all time!!!
Can you say Parody? I knew you could.
I so love this band. Wish I could have had this much fun when I was performing. ;-)
Mike was in the band from 1962 to 1965 when I worked with them in Portland, Vancouver, Salem, Bend, etc.... Sorry he has had some bad times
I don't know which version I like better, they are both great. But this one sure has more life to it. Maybe the Kingsmen version is better for the radio, where this one is best for live venues.

OMG! I have some 45's of Paul Revere & the Raiders! Didn't they have a TV show or is my memory fuzzy?!
THE best version of Louie Louie !!!
Loved This ...
Nice National 5 yr Roll. Vanquished too Las Vegas! Where all Roads End, For Chart Topping Bands!
and still arent in the Rock and roll hall of Shame. Saw them in 66. What a show , just before Drake left.
I got to see them live and had slides of the show. Somebody stole them!
