Just a few observations and clarifications: The rumor that the tracks were recorded by session musicians (mainly the so-called Wrecking Crew) is false. Yes, they had a few "guest" musicians on some tracks, but the basic lineup of PMPD&S played on most tracks. I've communicated with two of the original members and several members of the Wrecking Crew (including Hal Blaine and Carol Kaye). The only track which was all session musicians was "Where The Action Is" (it's pretty obvious). Fang (Phil Volk) readily admits that today's bassists can play circles around him, but is adamant that he, Drake and Smitty played on all other tracks. Give Phil his props; he played bass just as well as his contemporaries, including McCartney. I still have all my copies of "Hit Parader" magazines. From interviews at the time, it's clear that Smitty was mentored by Hal Blaine (including his use of short drumsticks), but Hal did not play for Smitty, except on "Indian Reservation". Drake was ahead of his time as a guitarist. Double-tracking lead guitar at the time was not as easy as you might think. He also mastered phrygian dominant scales on the guitar (think Middle East, India, Japan, etc.) All comments about the band during their BIG years (65-68) are unfair unless you listen to their earlier work (first two albums on Columbia) and the work of Phil, Drake and Smitty on the Brotherhood tracks. As for the dancing of Phil and Drake (later Harpo), consider that the lads from Liverpool did some crazy things onstage before Beatlemania.

For all you "kiddies" born after the Raiders heyday, I'm sorry you don't "get" this band. They were a club cover band from the great Northwest who played music for people to dance to. Their onstage antics were a joy to watch. They obviously enjoyed themselves onstage and projected a lot of fun. The classic lineup of Paul, Mark, Phil, Drake and Smitty were underrated musicians who never got the respect they so richly deserved.

I remember when this aired. My mother was HORRIFIED at their costumes that left nothing to the imagination. LOL

Mark Fritts

I saw the band in 1968 live in Great Falls, MT. Great show! And LOUD! They were just emerging from the Revolutionary costumes, but still had the long hair, boots, and had set aside the choreography. What impressed me was that it was just the five guys, no backups, and the music and vocals were dead on great! This was after the split, Freddy Weller, Joe Correro, and I can't remember the bass player had joined the band. They were professional and super-tight.

Silly fun!

The R&R HOF is an organization of WORTHLESS CREDIBILITY as long as Paul Revere and the Raiders aren't a member!! IMHO this is the most underrated rock/pop group of all-time!! Mark Lindsay was one of the greatest lead-vocalists in rock history and the band had a WONDERFUL catalog of groovy, good-time hit songs!! Whenever I go to California in the summer and I head down to the beach I ALWAYS have Paul Revere songs in my head---their sound just captures that good vibes fun in the sun partying free spirit so perfectly!! An AWESOME band that gets overlooked nowadays--and that is SUCH a CRIME!!
