- Mark Lindsay and the original Raiders, Phil "Fang" Volk, Drake "The Kid" Levin, and Mike "Smitty" Smith at a morning TV Interview promoting the 30 year Raider Reunion at one of Mark's concerts in Portland, Oregon in 1997.
thanks for the great clips
Why aren't they in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? They were pretty much one of the few American bands that consistently had hits on the charts during the British Invasion and their look helped pave the way for a lot of bands who wanted to go onstage wearing costumes.
the R n R hall of shame is a piece of shit........
Bon Jovi’s in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame Bruce Springsteen’s in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame make sure wonder who’s running the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame the Raiders should be in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame
Brian Washington let’s face it the Rock Hall is a joke. Great bands can’t get nominated but shit bands do. 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻the Rock Hall!😡😡
BON JOVI AND SPRINGSTEEN ARE LIBERAL LUNATICS AND HILLARY LOVERS. DOES THAT GIVE YOU A HINT ON HOW THEY GOT IN? RAPPERS ARE IN THE HALL OF FAME. THEY AREN'T ROCK. SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE THEIR OWN RAP HALL OF FAME?
I think Pauls comedy act trashed their credibility. Its really insipid. Yeah too bad did'nt happen while they were alive although the hall of fame is garbage.
It was billed as Mark Lindsay (former lead singer for Paul Revere & The Raiders) with special guests Fang, Drake, & Smitty. The interviewer didn't have a clue.
you're correct. That guy was a noob to everything.
These guys rock!
Thanks. More coming later.
Last time I checked the Raiders were still not in the Hall of Fame er Hall of SHAME. What a joke Jann Wenner needs to take a hike, guess they weren't hip enough for that freaking HIPPIE/YUPPIE. R I P Smitty and Drake. Saw em live in 66 and they were even better live .
RIP, Paul.
Fun music from the past, RIP Paul
I know. It was very emotional for me watching that. I can't believe they are both gone. :(
Drake Levin was such a great guitarist and greatly underrated.
Never underrated idiot
@@mrb4886 you sound like a Trumpeter
@@mrb4886 Must we be snotty?
Mark Lindsay Is the BEST!
Great interview - I just love Mark. His new CD, "Life Out Loud" is fantastic, every single song. BUY IT - you will love it! Anyway, I love the interview - it is just so sad, knowing that Smitty and Drake are gone. :(
This is priceless!
If you support Mark, or any of The Raiders BUY the CDs. That's how they make their living.
I remember Joe Carolla, Jr playing drums.
I'm sorry Joe Correro, Jr.
Raider Rooter 1967. I own all the albums...and I search for everything ...thank you for the uploads. Its sad no full concerts aren't available... This is my all time favorite band!!! I love all the recording Raiders!!!
Good interview! So sad that Smitty and Drake are now gone :(
WOW THATS RIGHT. SO SAD EVEN PAULS GONE. I MISS THEM
My Favorite Band back in the day.
How did I miss this?
I have bought LOL, I love it, it's awesome - and thanks for pointing that out!
Paul is no longer with the band? They got the backwards.
My brother and I used to get up early on Sunday morning in the late 60's, put on a 'spiritual' choir TV show, turn off the sound, and play Raiders records to them.
Saw Revere and his group (at the time) in 2012 or so, and it was pretty sad. Other than Paul, the longest-term member of the band had been with him for 12 or 17 years, so none of the originals left by a mile. They mostly did very short versions or medleys, there was maybe one entire song performed, and Paul filled in a lot of the time telling funny (and sometimes off-color) stories. Not quite the experience of seeing Paul McCartney and his band by a mile. But the Raiders were a big part of my grade school years and I am thankful to them for the fun and TV shows and music.
Some of the later members were with them far longer. One over 40 years. Just listen to their records forget the schtick.
Oh, it is!
Great cameraman!
I kept trying to call the station but the number wouldn’t go through.
And Fred Weller wasn’t there either
Totally agree. When one thinks of the glaring omissions in the RRHOF, Paul Revere is near the top. Others still waiting their ticket the be punched include: The Zombies, THe Moodies, and Neil Sedaka......completely absurd
You're absolutely right! I don't understand myself how this Rock n' Roll Hall of Shame can ignore one of the best 60's bands and nominate bands who are nothing more than crap! I also agree that the Zombies should be in there with so many others, who have given us some of the greatest music!
Gary Hoffman Arthur Lee and Love . Simply on the strength of Forever Changes . Also as a sidenote I continually say Paul Revere and the Raiders are the most misunderstood band in all of rock ‘n’ roll. Mark Lindsay was just to go to rock ‘n’ roll singer if not better than Mick Jagger and I know when I’m saying and they were a punk kick ass rock band people just saw the mess goofy pop band but those records were meticulously Produced
Most honor programs are buy in. You have to send them the money up front to be considered. Possibly a record company juicing sales.
@@rossdemarco1206 I speculate Melcher was producing Spektors Wall of Sound. Thats what the records sound like. I say the first Metal band.
What about Johnny Rivers??? He had a lot of hits...should be in RRHOF
Mark seems to have become a bit of a Space Cadet xD
See his solo vid. He says hes 85. Very hard to believe.
No longer in the group??? God the band has been going since the early 60s, this was just a reunion show. I know the original guys are good, although not the real originals, anyways Paul Band has been together many many years and lasted longer than the original guys. This guy needs to have his facts straight!.
you can say that again!
Not quite the original band but is the classic lineup more or less.
I love PR&TR but I'm sorry...I have no idea what Mark Lindsay was talking about in the beginning.
He didn't either
I was at one of these 'reunited Raiders' concerts and it was one of the best I ever went to. Good solid R'n'R by guys that knew how to do it. I met Mark a few years later and enjoyed a brief visit with him.
The majestic Rex and Sammie the tsunami are always on guard to protect their home. Two dogs that truly love each other. It doesn't get any better than this.
"On The Road To Mexico" great later single by Drake after he left the army !
The American Beatles wish they had stayed together and produced more hits
The actually was a group called The American Beatles.
They lasted as long or longer than the beatles.
Sorry, without Paul it's just not the Raiders.
just like when Mark left, without Mark and others it wasn't the raiders either
@@cynguilbeau3143 Mark left to become a solo star. While he was solo he wanted to keep singing Raiders songs, but he didn't own the rights. You can't go solo and continue singing songs without permission. Mark always thought they were his songs.
I'm from Burley Idaho, and I ment them in Jackpot Nevada when Paul was still with us... RIP.. Paul it was an honor to have ment all of you..
no Drake, no Jimi
PAUL REVERE no longer with the band???
The actual concert was billed as Mark Lindsay (former lead singer for Paul Revere & The Raiders) with special guests Fang, Drake, & Smitty. The interviewer didn't have a clue about the history or anything else. Mark did his best to fix the interviewer's mistake.
Paul continued the band after Smitty Drake Fang quit in 1967, and Mark left in 1975. Paul kept the band going right up till his death in 2014. RIP Paul, Smitty, Drake, Carlo.
Without Paul, they aren't the Raiders. They did have the most great hits, they were the most popular, but Paul made them. He was their manager, he was their financial advisor, he booked the venues, his name really was Paul Revere Dick. He hired them, not the other way around. He wrote their early hits.
But Mark gave them all their visual and vocal appeal! Their reunions without him were just sad...
@@maryromanek6683 He may have been the best front man of the 60's, maybe better than Jagger. But he had problems that couldn't be worked out. He wanted to be a solo star but still sing the Raider hits without permission. It went to court, Paul won.
When did Smitty and Drake leave US ?? I happened to be watching the news after our Broncos W over AZ and saw it in the scroll that Paul died (yesterday ). I saw what was the group at our local Denver Oldies radio 1st Kool Koncert 1988 and then a few times at other ones since then.( Now this station has upgraded to late 60s~80s music and still sponser those era concerts).
Smitty in March of 2001, natural causes. Drake about 2010, from cancer.
+Sue C I didn't realize they'd left us ....now at 2016 more are leaving for the biggest concert of all.
Letterman did a music tribute to the raiders when Smitty died.
@@sweetsueohio2 Paul died of cancer. 2 months after his last show.
Dammit,Bleep! 1997?? I was HERE and did not know!! Been to Oaks Park a million times!! Could have went!! I live in Oregon City and still do! And Wilsonville? In 1976,I believe I was 16,18? I worked in the area. I wonder......Ya, I know what your thinking,lol. I had a crush on Mark when I was a wee gal. I still own the vinyl I bought when I was a little older. My mom and Aunties introduced me to the guys. The sound was great too! I'll listen to my Metallica and Judas Priest, then switch over to Paul Revere and The Raiders.
I think all girls had a crush on Mark. Only rivaled by Davy Jones.
personally I don't see why bands think it's an honor to get into the hall(Raiders for example) have millions of fans just like any other band with us fans buying all the records,cds,posters, concert tickets etc that should be your recognition not the stupid Hall of Fame
I'll name the band The Hot Raiders,
