mate stubb Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I loved the Raiders. When I first started playing, they were in their heyday having their string of hits. They always had a harder edge to their songs and rocked a little harder that most other pop acts, in the same way the Beatles did. Kind of a garage band with showmanship and a bit of finesse. It was inspiring at that time to see the keyboard player leading the band, even though Mark Lindsay was the "heart throb." Their songs were surprisingly hard to cover.

Geoff Grace Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I was a fan too as a kid back then. Interestingly, Paul Revere was 76. Sorry to see him go.

dodonnell Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Gone too soon. I really enjoyed playing the Raider's songs in garage bands back in the 60s. Last time I saw him was in Saratoga, California about 1996. He opened for Frankie Valli. A great guy, he meandered through the crowd at the beer garden, shaking hands and selling his cassette tape of greatest hits. He followed the mantra of Winston Churchill, "Never, never ever give up" Duane Korg PA4x76 arranger, 1976 Yamaha CP-70 electric piano, MidiPlus X6 MIDI USB controller, Turbosound ip500 Tower Speaker System Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3bluesman59 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I knew Paul personally for over 40 years....he was the nicest,funniest most generous guy in the music business. You never really saw much of his keyboard abilities in their videos or even their live shows but he could lay down some mean boogie woogie and blues. He could play. Prior to signing with Columbia Records he recorded for Gardena Records, a small LA label and had an instrumental hit called "Like Long Hair" believe it was in 1961. But Paul's real talent was as a businessman and he had many successful ventures with people like Dick Clark and other industry heavyweights. And Paul figured it out right away that the way to a lasting music career was as an entertainer. He was a stand-op comedian who fronted a rock band and made it work for 56 years. Up until a few months ago, against his doctor's wishes he was still touring, playing lots of corporate events and cruise ship gigs. He was one of a kind. To know him was to love him. I will truly miss Raider #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I didn't really know him, but saw him many times. The band would work here in Vegas and sometimes I'd be working the same casino and would go hear them on breaks or they come by and see us, too. The first time I remember seeing him was at The Frontier, so that must have been in the early '80's. The last time was maybe 2 years ago. He was working a casino right by my house and a buddy and his wife came up from LA for a weekend visit and we got tix and went to see him and Bill Medley. He was just great, like always. You couldn't help but laugh your way through his show. Really a funny guy and an enjoyable show to see. Much love to his Family today. RIP.

Pa Gherkin Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 This one hits hard. I've already seen one obit proclaiming "Lead singer of Paul Revere and the Riders dies" Big facepalm for the half baked reporting. I was a huge fan during their heyday. Always got my daily dose on "Where The Action Is". As has been said,many of their songs were surprisingly musically substantial. Paul was a very capable player whose strengths as an entertainer and businessman overshadowed his musicality. Also something that many don't realize is that vocalist Mark Lindsay was a killer tenor sax player. Listen to the first cut on the "Here They Come" album,a sax driven version of "You Can't Sit Down". It smokes,live in the studio in front of a live audience,no less. No studio wizardry,just a very hot band. Since I played tenor at the time that facet made me appreciate them even more. Lindsay also had vocal pipes to spare. Always thought it was too bad that the Lindsay/Revere onstage partnership didn't last longer. Farewell to another hero and a unique figure in many folks rock&roll youth.. RIP,Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real MC Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Saw him with Mark at a State Fair years ago. Might not had been musically challenging but I enjoyed Paul the entertainer and comedian. The sponsor had a big inflatable can of Budweiser beer on the stage. Paul told the audience that his doctor said he could have one can of beer a day. Pointing to the inflatable can, he said that was his one beer. And he had the 50s auto front facsimile in front of his keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
