@hawkmoon03111951 No television appearances??? Anybody who was around in the 60's and 70's know that Paul Revere and the Raiders were on TV EVERY WEEK on Where The Action Is? I don't know how anyone can post a video about an artist and not know much about them. They were always featured on the cover of Tigerbeat and 16 Magazine.

@Tiny1bme Anyone around in America in the 60's might well know that they were on TV every week. However, America is not the world and my comment points out that I'm not from there. As to posting the video, I had some of their records and liked them. What knowledge do you need to upload a video, other than the ability?

Hawkmoon hate to tell you but they were one of my favorite bands back then and they were on TV all the time - - learned to play KICKS by watching them on TV .

@Oldrbutnowisr They were on the TV all the time in America. I'm English, living in England. They were not on TV over here, neither were they well known over here.

@hawkmoon03111951 You lucky bastard, you escaped these fools prancing around in silly Revolutionary war costumes and doing their bad choreography and Broadway Musical interpretation of rock and roll. It was silly then and even more silly today. Could you imagine seeing Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck or Jimmy Page mincing about in British Army uniforms from the 1700's.

[hawkmoon03111951]

@beeceesp Must admit, the dance moves that I've seen them do are pretty embarrassing but.... a lot of people like them. Hendrix did wear a British Army jacket though, but it was an original and, in my opinion, looked much better than the stage costumes created for PR&R.

Why are they not in the Rock Hall?? This is one of the best rock tunes ever recorded.

[hawkmoon03111951]

@HackerGuitarist It is the music that is important not the visuals. Also, they never, to my knowledge, made a single TV performance this side of the Atlantic and don't know of any DVD's of them.

has anyone heard the Circle Jerks cover from 1982?

@Tiny1bme - So true! In fact, they start out almost every show today with the comment: "MORE appearances on television than ANY other rock n roll band -- before or since!"

Of course we like it when Paul (always) says: "I wish I had a dollar for every time we've played that song!" and the band (Ron, Doug, Danny, Darren, and Tommy) all chime in:"You DO!"

@hawkmoon03111951 Dude, what planet were you living on in the 60's? Paul Revere & the Raiders were making TV music appearances throughout the mid to late sixties. They were really frequent guests on Dick Clark's "Where the Action Is". Phil Volk was famous for flipping his bass over at the end of a song to reveal his nickname taped on the back of the instrument, "Fang".

Where The Action Is aired from 06/27/1965 - 03/31/1967
