It was 1971 or 1972. A friend and I were covering a Raiders concert for a university student newspaper. We ended up in a hotel room with Paul Revere and Mark Lindsay all night talking religion and politics. Both are extremely bright and well versed on current affairs.
I still miss Paul. No other band entertained, enjoyed, and touched their fans like the Raiders did. They were family to those of us who loved them....and still do!
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.
catseatcheese I lived in LV and saw Paul around 10 times and for free:) I'm back home in Indiana now and he was booked here for August but had to pull out... As a fan thou I was gonna pay the $52.50 a ticket to see him...:)
I love these guys. Seen them so many times at Great America amusement park back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Carlo was awesome. I wish they were still around. Great memories.
I'm 63 and I can still remember being a 9 year old kid with 8 brothers and sisters in the mid 60s Boppin to "Kicks", "Hungry" etc. What a time to grow up in. Just a Blast. No offense, but I'd hate to be a kid growing up in these times. There is no innocents anymore.
Paul Revere and Carlo Driggs in Rock & Roll Heaven. 😎 🎤 💙 🌠 Paul Revere January 7, 1938 - October 4, 2014 Carlo Driggs June 18, 1958 (?) - May 31, 2017 Carl was lead singer in the 1980s and 90s for Paul Revere and the Raiders
This is one great video one of the best ever, i own it as well, i bought it when it came out, i have seen the group many times over the years from roughly 1978-2012!! Michael Bradley another great singer and a guitarist was in the group roughly 80-82 era.
Found a bunch of clips of Paul Revere and the Raiders on here...brings back a lot of wonderful memories. I live in Reno, NV and he was always performing here at Harrah's. I can't count how many times we went to his shows. We'd talk with him after the shows, run into him on the streets, at restaurants, the Mall...he was always friendly, funny...I'll miss him!
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.
Forgot how funny and what a pro performer Paul Revere (RIP) was and how he & Mark Lindsey could make “corny” look cool. I got to hang with him & wife Sidney Revere often in Honolulu at their “Legends In Concert” Tribute Show in Waikiki while working on Easter Seals TV Telethon each year. She played Marilyn Monroe very well. They owned the Vegas version of that show also.
I have a clip up someplace with 39 artists NOT in the RnR HOF and Paul Revere is certainly included... For a couple of years they sold damn near as many singles as The Beatles...
Mark Lindsay was the reason for the success of the Raiders. Without him I wouldn't walk across the street to see this mess for free. So glad that Mark still tours and does HIS classics and now his new CD, which is awesome, "Life Out Loud". MARK LINDSAY still ROCKS!!!
I saw Paul Revere & The Raiders last year at the Acadia Theater in St. Charles Illinois. Paul has hired some young guns to knock out the Raider songs, and they are pretty good. Even his Son was on stage, in the rear playing guitar. Paul introduced him later in the show. They put on a great show. Paul is really funny on stage. At this concert he had his arm in a sling, so he was limited to what he could play on the keyboards. I admit that Dave Marko is a good singer, but Mark spoiled us with his great vocals. I wasn't going to go to this concert, but I'm glad I did. Paul passed away from cancer a couple of months after this concert. A real trooper. Even though he knew he was dying, he still loved his fans and played until the end. I also saw Mark in Waukegan, Illinois at the Genessee Theater. He was on the Happy Together Tour with Flo & Eddie (The Turtles), The Association, and The Grass Roots. As much as I liked the vocals that Mark laid down on the Raider records, he has just a fraction of the vocal power he had. Father time has not been kind to Mark's voice.
Not really hired guns. Doug Heath (guitar) has been with Paul since 1973, Ron Foos (bass) has been with Paul since 1975, and Danny Krause (keyboards) since 1980, and his son Jamie Revere has been with the band on and off since 1990. Darren Dowler is the current lead singer and has been since 2008 so that is probably who you saw. He is great as is Carl Driggs in this video. Doug, Ron, Danny, Jamie, Darren, & Tommy Scheckel (drums) are still rockin' as Paul Revere's Raiders.
Gary, thanks for your reply. I had no idea that his band mates were with him that long. I kind of lost track of them after Mark left. With all the bands that tour now, it seems as if there is no loyalty. Once the tour ends, the band leader, usually the lead vocalist fires the guys, then rehires them or new ones for the next tout. I must say that they are very good musicians and entertainers. I'm glad that I saw Paul before he passed away.
You are very welcome. Paul was one of kind that I got to be around plus interview. Just a great man and that's why band members stayed with him so long! Go see Paul Revere's Raiders if they come to your town, it will be the same band you saw and they are great!
What a great posting this is. I have the full concert, unfortunately it's on VHS tape, does anyone know if it exists on DVD. It's hard to believe that they have not been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, what a shame, it should have happened many years ago.
All these folks who want to diss The Raiders without Mark should dig out their 45s of "Song Seller", "Love Music" and "All Over You". What? You didn't buy those? Well, Mark might have stayed with the band longer if people had been buying their post-'72 singles. Give Paul a break. What was he supposed to do - crawl under a rock just because his lead singer quit?
why won't that put the Paul Revere &Raiders should be in Hall of Fame.Where are there star in California .I put them in Hall of fame. and there star.great band on the plant.THANKS.
I love Paul Revere & the Raider , Paul was the lead guy he was one heck of a great singer. Paul was more on the serious side while the head raider wasn’t more of being funny. I like him he was a great guy but they both weren’t a match.
My wife and I saw the Paul and the Raiders play at the World of Wheels car show in Indianapolis in the 80's shortly after we met. It was the first time she actually really heard of them and before they were even halfway through the show I was having more fun watching her laughing and dancing around than looking at the stage. She got embarrassed though when Paul noticed her and pointed at us and said "that guys getting laid tonight!!!! " She wanted to crawl in a hole when everyone started clapping and cheering. LOL.
Mark Lindsay was good at the time, but not during the mid 80s when Raiders were doing other material, come on Dave! Carlo Driggs is so good, as much more versatile than Mark Lindsay.
This "performance" is one of the primary reasons Mark left the Raiders. He wanted the band to develop a more serious approach to music and Revere wanted a "novelty act". Hell, the Raiders (especially Paul) stopped playing on their recordings around 1967 because session musicians were better. Even here, Revere really doesn't play on stage. He was too busy being a clown, and not a funny one.

Paul was a great showman and very funny. PR&TR are why I became a musician. RIP Paul, and thank you.
Paul Revere and the Raiders were a one of a kind. I miss them. Thumb up.

Paul was the greatest showman. He will always be alive and well. I watch these videos every nighr.
We got to see them in Spokane Washington they were Amazing
Seen them 6 times, never let down for a minute. We played all their goodies and dressed their part too 65-67
Woweeee really cooool!!!!!!!
I love these guys. Seen them so many times at Great America amusement park back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Carlo was awesome. I wish they were still around. Great memories.

I will always be a life long fan ! Just bought a new turntable just so I can Play my Paul Revere collection!!

Love this group of raiders!! Just as much much as the first set of raiders with Mark Lindsay and Harpo Jim Valley! They all have been great! ✌️❤️⭐️
I had my pic taken with Paul and Carl at the Raiders concert in Owensboro Kentucky
RIP Uncle Paul. :'(

In high school my friends and I had a band that copied the Raiders costumes. The Squires. It was fun. Kicks had a great message
RIP Paul Revere.
Rest in peace my friend. We will miss you!
AN AMERICAN BAND THE BEST rock n' roll song ever written in America bar none...
And, "My Sharona" from 1979, was briefly played. 👍
I would love to get a copy of that..I was there and am on the video!!!

really damn cool thanks!!! luv this
Love Mark too. But...well, this guy was born to perform and does it well for decades. That's show biz.
This guy was born to perform WHERE? At the Bugtussel County Fair and Cahrm School? He's a joke.
Disney Cruises. Disney got these guys to play when they first started getting into family entertainment and Paul rode the wave.
Carl Driggs a Total Pro! A Great Lead Singer in his own right! Fronted the band Kracker 1978 Miss You tour/open for the Rolling Stones. RIP 🙏
Love it.
Uffff. .. !Excellent¡ 👍🎸🎵🎶🏆
I miss Mark Lindsey great singing. But Paul Revere does great entertaining
I have a clip up someplace with 39 artists NOT in the RnR HOF and Paul Revere is certainly included... For a couple of years they sold damn near as many singles as The Beatles...
Miss you Paul and Carl😂😂😂😂
OMAR ON THE DRUMS LOVE HIM
at 9 mins .the song him or me ..sound good vocally , but one thing missing is that catchy bass line ...
RIP PAUL

Mark doesn't play any Life Out Loud songs in his shows.
@@ronfowlermusic Keeping a live R&R act alive for 56 years is a great accomplishment. I do credit Mark and Terry M. for their songwriting.

His son still plays with the band. Saw them at a winery tonight, they still kick it.
Paul apparently liked jumping up and down, have seen it on several performances
WE'RE IN A PARODY BAND by APOLOGETIX a great parody of that song
I could die. Right now
What a great posting this is. I have the full concert, unfortunately it's on VHS tape, does anyone know if it exists on DVD.

Mr60smusicman you can digitize the tapes! My husband digitized my tapes and loaded them on my iPod. There’s a device you can buy or maybe even rent.
The full show is also on youtube

+BillboardPenguin Easy scooter. I just said the little 4'6 guy who replaced Mark Lindsay sucked. Go back and take a few MIDOL and lay down for a bit.
little 4'6 guy? I never saw a guy like that singing with Paul Revere.
Grand funk
why won't that put the Paul Revere &Raiders should be in Hall of Fame.Where are there star in California .I put them in Hall of fame. and there star.great band on the plant.THANKS.
I love Paul Revere & the Raider , Paul was the lead guy he was one heck of a great singer. Paul was more on the serious side while the head raider wasn’t more of being funny. I like him he was a great guy but they both weren’t a match.
I wonder if Don Brewer was okay with this band covering his #1 hit.
Oh dear G
what planet are you from Dave!! with your comments.
Just not the same for me with out the original band members,still its good to see them still around
Where's Mark Lindsay
Cindy Fedack on tour with Micky Dolenz. It’s a good show, you might check out Ticketmaster or Songkick for dates. Fun show
Then they ain't been right for 38 years...:)
This out cheeses cheese.
Mom's song

Paula Revere and Her Raiders The TRANSGENDERS
Rip Taylor?
OK he redeemed hisself @8:18-
Toooooo strange.
Paul Revere & The Raiders without Mark Lindsay just ain't right.
Why are they doing this song ?
Who's that singing Toni Basil? 🤣
I was thinking it was that other guy from the 80's Adam Ant
Love the music..Hate the British solder uniforms! Com' on guys you'r our AMERICAN BAND
Boy you are clueless.The band was named to counter the British Invasion. So the Raiders wore blue American Revolution war uniforms.
No Mark? No go
Without Mark Lindsay they are just another tribute band.
Corn
No Mark Lindsay no Raiders. Period.
What the hell?
Not Mark big miss
Boo no mark lindsey!
for a laugh, this is alright. other than that it sucks
Mark Lindsay was good at the time, but not during the mid 80s when Raiders were doing other material, come on Dave! Carlo Driggs is so good, as much more versatile than Mark Lindsay.
if people love Mark so much, they should go see him when he does his solo shows. I hear the attendance has been pretty poor in recent years.
@@ronfowlermusic marks voice is still strong but his new material is weak
@@grooviefan he never plays any new stuff
This "performance" is one of the primary reasons Mark left the Raiders. He wanted the band to develop a more serious approach to music and Revere wanted a "novelty act". Hell, the Raiders (especially Paul) stopped playing on their recordings around 1967 because session musicians were better. Even here, Revere really doesn't play on stage.
