Paul Revere and the Raiders used to be my favorite band, back around 1965. They were regulars on “Where the Action is” and used to play for dances at our hometown roller rink. Their version of “Louie, Louie” is a good one.
“Kicks” was always my favorite - loved that opening riff and the lyrics.
I saw them at the Lake Hills roller rink in Bellevue, Wa circa. 1966 or so.
LakeHills Roller Rink?
Blast from the past.
RIP Paul.
I saw them in 1966. Their song “kicks” was an early anti-drug song which was sort of radical in and of itself for that time period when rock groups regularly promoted drugs as cool.
I loved watching Paul Revere and the Raiders on Where the Action Is. It was such a clever idea to shoot that program in an amusement park. May he rest in peace.
