[Ichingcarpenter]

10. Oh, that's right...LOL.... well they were 5 guys

Just like me.....

God I'm old.

[pinboy3niner]

13. + Kicks, Hungry, Just Like Me, Good Thing, Indian Reservation

And more, including a version of Louie, Louie.

The group still does a great show. I happened to catch them when they did a concert at the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial 9 or 10 years ago. Besides doing their own hits, they did a fantastic job covering other groups' hits of the '60s and '70s.

[blondeatlast]

25. I LOVE PR & tRs! GREAT version of "Stepping Stone,"too.

And they still aren't in the R&R Hall of Fame. :(

35. Paul Revere rides again

(This story is undated, but references indicate it was from 2001, the year I saw them play and got a 'Ride to the Wall' CD autographed by Paul.)

Boise icon hits road to D.C. and biggest concert of his career

By Tim Woodward
The Idaho Statesman



Gerry Melendez / The Idaho Statesman


Thirty years ago today, Paul Revere fired up his Harley for a motorcycle ride across America to promote a recording. This week, he'll do it again to help the nation's veterans.

The Boise rock 'n' roll icon, who had six gold albums in the '60s and '70s, has spent parts of the past two years making a CD titled "Ride to the Wall," the first recording with new Paul Revere and the Raiders material in more than 20 years.

All of its profits will be donated to veterans organizations.

Motorcyclists will join Revere, Forrest Gump-like, as he travels from Seattle to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Wall, in Washington, D.C. He'll make the trip around tour commitments, arriving in Washington for a performance at the annual Rolling Thunder Memorial Day weekend observance.

Paul's Ride to the Wall Foundation provides grants to assist homeless and at-risk veterans through "Stand Down" programs in cities throughout the country. I'm involved with the Stand Down in my community, though its name here has been changed to 'Outreach to Homeless Veterans.'

I hadn't visited this site in 10 years, but the OP led me to check it--and to discover the grant information, which will soon lead to a grant app for our Outreach. :)

I think you'd enjoy their website:

39. The Raiders deserve it.

Hometown band for me. It's astonishing they're not in the R-A-R-H-O-Fame.

[1monster]

16. Indian Reservation, Kicks (just keep gettin' harder to find), the Grass Won't Pay No Mind,

Arizona, Hungry, Let Me, etc., I was a fan too.

[pinboy3niner]

18. Have you seen their concert schedule?

19. No. The closest they come is about 200 miles away and it really isn't the same

group if they are not the same people.

[blondeatlast]

30. Actually, I've seen them--still a fantastic show even without Mark Lindsay

They really ought to consider mending fences, though.

[brewens]

37. A couple of the original guys, including Revere went around

about 20 years ago and put on an ok show. They came to our Hot August Nights thing a couple times. They played their big hits and other oldies form the 60's. That's a car show/cruise type weekend celebration with a concert night. They were a perfect fit back then. The audience was largely people that were kids when they were big.

Funny that we are about 70 miles from where Mark Lindsay lives. It wouldn't be that great for Hot August Nights even if they all got back together. The crowd demographics at that show now call for more of a mid 70's or later act.

6. And she got the Raiders too!

What a bargain. She'd make a great president with bargaining skills like that.

[Tennessee Gal]

7. Good one!

[Jumping John]

9. His USO informational tour for the British troops? n/t

[Scuba]

11. Funny. He's not "ringing those bells".

[Paladin]

21. That's not Paul Revere!

I saw Paul Revere and the Raiders at an oldies concert, and they were way older than those guys.

[Lorien]

22. .....

[pinboy3niner]

23. Perfect! *Applause*

:rofl:

[K8-EEE]

24. My VERY favorite Raiders song is the one about

when they're just ridin' those horses and warnin' the British not to take our arms.

HAHAHAHA!

(Actually it's KICKS!)

[blondeatlast]

27. W/O the Mark Lindsay autograph, she was WAAAAAY ripped off.

Amazing that he wrote "Fart Proudly," too!

[Liberal_in_LA]

29. lol

[graywarrior]

32. LOL

Totally made my night!

[pipi_k]

34. What's really amazing...

is how they fit all that musical equipment on the back of his horse.

[pinboy3niner]

38. Credit goes to the Minutemen roadies
