hollies65 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Witout looking at it...it has to be the "Judge" commercial. Now I'll go look.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Ha! That's it...I think I saw it twice...and remember it well. They gave a copy of the jingle away with the car. The Cyrkle did a commercial jingle for the Camaro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bessieboo Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Did the Raiders have a TV show? I have a memory of my older sister watching it with her friends.I wasn't allowed to be in there with them. I liked Fang, but he belonged to my sister.It was No Fair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ira Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 They were almost like the house band on a daily show on ABC called "Where The Action Is".It was a Dick Clark Production...with acts lip-synching from beaches, drive-ins, etc.It's theme song became a hit for Freddie Cannon.I found a clip of the show for you Bessie.-Ira. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAEJQ-eklFI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessieboo Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Thanks Ira,I remember it being in color, it could have been repeats. If the dates are correct on Youtube I would have been very young. Fun to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatleJay Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 My faves by the Raiders are 'Good Thing', and 'Just Like Me'. Mark Lindsey has a Saturday night show on KHITS 106.7 out of Portland Oregon. He is opening a 'Rock and Roll Cafe' in just a few weeks. I'm going to try to make it to the opening. I'll be wearing our colors- Raspberries concert tee.

mannoman Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 My favorite Raiders song. To this day I doubt they played their own music in the studio. Too slick. Anyone know if they did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 They played their own music...Levin was a great guitarist,they were all excellent musicians...BUT on 'Him or Me' Fang and Levin had just split from the band and Melcher brought in the Wrecking Crew...so on this great Lindsey-Melcher penned tune...Blaine and company were playing.

Zuke Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 LET ME.Has a GREAT Eric Carmen-esque, "MA MA MA MA MA MA MA MA." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecstasy Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I know that Paul Revere and the Raiders perform in Branson sometimes but it's without Mark Lindsay. Does anyone know if Mark still performs or tours? I thought he did a few years ago but I can't find anything like that on him nowadays.

Matthew C. Clark Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I like the song called "Country Wine" from 1972. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 I liked that too....but would not classify it as "great". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sllvnbil Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Good Thing, Let Me, Him or Me, Kicks, Hungry, Just Like Me, Up's & Down's,,,,, What great songs!!! Mark still sounds great singing them,,,, that's when he sings!!! He hardly performs these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Let's not forget the great 'Steppin Out' with the classic line.."Well I had to leave town cause of Uncle Sam's deal....Well I guess my good lovin done lost it's appeal". Solid gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Marshall Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 "I've been UP, Down, ALL around now baby......"Plus......Let Me, Good Thing, Kicks, Great Airplane Strike, Hungry, Indian Reservation...GREAT tunes.And Mark on his own with Arizona too.Darned fine band.Much harder edge than the pigeon hole they got tossed into due to their 'look' and the TV show that robbed them of being considered cool or hip. Those guys could rock. NOT a bubble gum band at all/at all. Loads of hits and some pretty fine lps too.Play Great Airplane Strike up against YOUR favourite 60s Stones tune. Revere and the crew didn't have to take a backseat to ANYONE.[Although Mr. Sun/Mr. Moon was pretty wimpy stuff] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
