Paul Revere & The Raiders - The Great Airplane Strike [Very Good quality / No mpg4 resolution]

[The040690]

19th Nervous Breakdown - The Rolling Stones

nothing more, nothing else.

[SuperStuey2]

The Under-Assistant West Coast Promom Man anyone? Still a great song...

[4everBeeGs]

Reliving your younger days with music like what these guys did, is awesome!

[1962drob]

Another great performance by Paul Revere & The Raiders!

[louieg40]

uhhh yea OK ..they remind me of a mixture of Hermits Hermits and Bee Gees,but the Bee gees had respectable music

[JohnGee1977]

I saw these guys on a soccer field at James Madison University in the 80's without Mark Lindsay. They wore themselves out for just a couple hundred people. They were real professionals with an appealling presence and a great sound. I still think the guitar solo in "Just like Me" is one of the all-time best.

[MrRaiderfan1000]

@JohnGee1977 I saw them at the Iowa State Fair and they filled all the seats and the rest had to stand and watch from a distance. The Raiders will give a great show regardless the size of the crowd. I took my 13y/o boy who is not that crazy about 60's music but he sure loved the Raiders. He even has a few of their songs on his I pod along with the rest of the new music.

they are smiling they had sex for the first time

[blueticecho]

I'm kinda sure I seen these guys doing the Freddie just a little bit.

[Mike1614b]

do they sound like the Stones or vice versa?

[MrCombat1965]

Ol' Ray Bolger was rockin' at the end.

[randomandwelldone]

I wore this 45 out when I was a kid. And then one day at a garage sale I found a nice copy of the "The Spirit of '67" LP.

[1962drob]

Wow!!! I almost forgot how talented Paul Revere & The Raiders are!!! I knew there was a reason why I like these guys!!!

[1962drob]

Thos song should have been No. 1, Not No. 60.

[wouldntyoulike2know]

Mark is so good as a front man. :)

[norseleague]

They were never better without harpo and fang period. However later on having keith allison in the band was an especially ironic touch given his famous resemblance (at the time) to one Englishman Paul mccartney regarding their old tune asking rhetorically:"Why can't i get my song played?" or something like that-anyone help me out on that title?

[SixtiesPopGold]

@norseleague Well, I think that Drake Levin was as good as Harpo. He also contributed to their best album, "Midnight Ride".

[kamikazeathena]

@norseleague Keith was in the band when they did "Song Seller" which had the lyric, "Why can't you get this record played?"

[StanKindly]

One of the most FUN rock and roll bands!

[mistomen]

I love that line "The janitor came runnin' in, so scared his face was white." LOL.

[eoj2495]

On the album there were different intros on the mono and the stereo versions. The mono version had the familiar airplane noise intro from the radio version, while the stereo had kind of a bomb blast intro... anyway great song from 1966!!!

[gilliansl]

Love this song.... Hard to find a copy of it though... Great! Thanks!

This is the Harpo, Fang, and Smitty I remember....

[1962drob]

Very good picture and sound quality from 1966. This is one of the better songs from the Harpo lineup. I dig Mark Lindsay's dance steps as he sings, Fang and Harpo's dance steps and Paul Revere's Bangs and smile, and Smitty's drum playing.

[WFOX44]

great but we need the 5:35 version

[arbmust]

Inspired today's "The Great Airline Price Increase" et al.

[TheBogband]

These guys were cool......

[oceanbound222]

I never heard this song before. Was it released as a single ?

[SixtiesPopGold]

@oceanbound222 Yes, it was released in September 1966, and it went to #20 on the Billboard chart.

[BohemianConspiracy]

@SixtiesPopGold ... i don't know why (maybe one of the main reasons was the drugs)... but things accelerated in rock music in mid 66 ...Aftermath...Pet Sounds...5th dimension...Face to Face...and Revolver... this Revere and the Raiders song is a real product of this time...it was an answer to this fast evolution... the Raiders were not late as some other bands...who reacted many months later...

[khj93play]

I think this was from a show called "The Hollywood Palace" I remember seeing it as a 14y/o kid. I never missed them on "Were the Action Is"

[o2943]

Think You for this one They were young and so were we, Nice to see it again. Think You.

[PAULisDEADMANnumber9]

[55sharbrum]
