kinetocast Says:

Sep 21, 2006 - us too, but Dick Clark had it pulled

Nov 16, 2006 - it's hard from such a short clip to figure out where this clip came from, or who is being interviewed.

May 24, 2007 - Did you know that Paul Revere was a BARBER before he started his band? His first album was an instrumental called "Like Long Hair" and I believe Mark Lindsey played the sax on it.

MadBadVoodo Says:

Jun 26, 2007 - I want 2 go 2 Portland and see Storm Large!!

Jul 20, 2007 - You know, the more I hear about Dick Clark having great rock n' roll footage of the past pulled because he own the copyright, the more pissed off I get. I used to have a lot of respect for him, but now he's a greedy 'ol SOB who wants to sit on his old Bandstand archives and not share any of it with anyone. Hope he's happy.

NiennaNolatari Says:

Sep 13, 2007 - Why take all that great footage out of the public eye? I mean, DUH, its a money-maker! These people are so greedy so why not release it?

CJurasin Says:

Sep 27, 2007 - Portlandwas: How about posting some more Pacific Northwest bands like The Wailers, Viceroys, Don and The Goodtimes and the Beachcombers??

Dec 8, 2007 - Saw these guys at "Division" Street or as it came to be known "D" Street. Also the Armory at Lake Oswego and Hillsboro. Good times and good music. Thanks for the memories.

Feb 18, 2008 - Dick Clark has lost a few million not doing syndication, VHS now DVD for his shows. He's a greedy pig much like Allan Klein who kept his Chubby Checker/Rydell/Orlons etc. tapes in a room for decades while the people who wanted to hear those songs died out.

shortsleave Says:

Mar 17, 2008 - Ah, he can barely stand up by himself these days. He'll drop dead soon enough and hopefully his family will put it out.

Mar 19, 2008 - Got to see them a bunch as my older brothers band The Che-Vels opened for them anumber of times. I mostly rem Mark's big Crisco barrel! The Seattle bands were great too. I miss the kllikes of a Rich Dangle.

santnicola Says:

Jun 14, 2008 - Those North West American bands were all hillbillies compared to the slick English bands .....none could write or play or look like the English and the NW bands faded out as the 70's came in with Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, David Bowie, Queen, Elton John and others dominated the radio and tours. I repeat... the NW bands were hillbillies !!!!

loungecruz Says:

Jul 4, 2008 - you have a point santnicola Zep did a wonderful job of imitating Willie Dixon, Howling Wolf etc. Floyd really expanded on what bands like the electric prunes and the 13th floor elivators were doing. And no one came as close to Liberachi as Elton!!

OldrFan Says:

Nov 24, 2008 - Let see Northwest American bands as opposed to what the Northwest Engish bands? You're right thou Pink Floyd, Zepplin, Bowie, Queen oh and lety me add a few Eagles, Hendix The Door, Janis I could go on and on all great bands or entertainers. But what you're seeing is evolution. How many stages have you performed on. Different strokes dude. So wipe the dribble off your chin it was a good time.

jazzbo89 Says:

Feb 28, 2009 - Really nice to hear someone else validate the Raiders place as a legitimate band. I've said it for years. I dislike it when musicologists seem to trivialize semi- fans apologize for the Raiders costumes and stage antics. That's what made them special, in addition to the great tunes. Combining a distinct visual appearance, stage antics (including synchronized dance steps ala The Shadows), and everyone in the band just smiling having fun made them GREAT. It's called being entertaining.

BigAlum Says:

Jul 23, 2009 - The Raiders were incredible showmen as well as great musicians...I've seen them in concert several times and would do it again tomorrow if they were in the area. Paul Revere still performs regularly with a younger band and still does a marvelous job of mixing music with comedy and showmanship. As to the legitimacy of their music and lyrics - they opened for the Rolling Stones on their 1965 "World" tour and were so popular by 1966 that the Stones opened for the Raiders. Touche!!

Pumper4 Says:

Oct 7, 2009 - Hall. Of. Fame.

Nov 4, 2009 - Thank you for such wonderful commentary on Paul Revere and the Raiders! Can you please tell me where Paul Revere currently plays so that I can get some albums signed :) I am only 34 but I enjoy restoring old turntables - adore my vinyl that is starting to fill the guest bedroom - and stay in the Midwest because it is 20-years behind ANYWHERE else (other than 3rd world) and their garage sales reflect such in the amount of vinyl!

four4vizslas Says:

Nov 4, 2009 - Jazzbo89 - That was a 'right-on-point' comment you made about 'the Raiders' (Paul Revere the Raiders). I agree with you 100% - - - "It's called being entertaining" was well said!!

BigAlum Says:

Nov 4, 2009 - He plays a lot of county fairs in the west and last I knew was occasionally playing several casinos in Reno, Winnemucca, and Las Vegas. Most of the band grew up in the Treasure Valley surrounding Boise, ID. Paul still has a (very) small property in Boise that is something of curiosity - it's supposedly surrounded by city property and is not accessible. He talks about it sometimes in his shows...

BigAlum Says:

Nov 4, 2009 - Oh, yeah, and don't forget Gary Pucket and the Union Gap!!!
