Paul Revere & The Raiders - 1986 Reno, The Last Mad Man of Rock & Roll 

Whether you were a fan of Revere's or not, you've got to admit.. he never let his fans down. He kept them laughing, or rockin-and-rollin. He also contributed to veteran's causes. Rest In Peace, Paul.

Paul Revere & the Raiders for R&R Hall of Fame! R.I.P. Paul Revere Dick

What a fun show!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My Lord where did that man get his energy? RIP Paul!

Incredible performance! Paul Revere was ageless! xxoxoxo

I lived in Reno at this time . They were based in Reno at this time. I think 2 lived there and they performed a lot at Harrah,s. I saw them every chance I got and that was alot.

We saw them and their antics in Pensacola, FL in 2002. They put on a GREAT show. Back between 1967 and 1969 I saw the earlier line up in Salem Oregon several times. The place was jumping when the boys came to town.

How these guys are not in the R&RHOF is a disgrace, they had so many great singles and albums. RIP Paul Thanks for posting

RIP..Paul, you were so awesome! it was an honor to have ment You!

Deeply Sadden to learn of my friend and lead singer of Paul Revere and the Raiders, Carl Driggs who passed away yesterday at Baptist Hospital. Thank you for publishing this concert, I was in the audience that night. RIP Carlo, and say hello to Uncle Paul when you see him.

THE Ultimate Showman. Thanks for sooo many great songs Paul! RIP.

Love this band, it's the band I knew personally!!!!

so many people I used to know in those seats and on that stage memories of what we did and where we went and when when we were together all those friends lost to separation some now lost to eternity but we were all together once

What a great crowd! I would die to play to an audience like this! Raider Rooters are the best! And the band isn't just going through the motions, they are really enjoying themselves!

Went to countless shows in the midwest and south, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Tennessee, Georgia, even Las Vegas and Riverside, CA--never get tired of this! Miss Paul so much!

Regardless of everything else....I liked, and still like their Music. Forget all the Hype, RNRHF, etc etc

It was a dark day when this Rock'n' Roll icon passed form this earth to the Home in Heaven. We will miss his great music and his fun personality, but Heaven will be richer for it. He is there now entertaining those whom have gone before us, and he will be there to entertain us once again someday. I was there from the beginning, have all of the original band's albums and have loved them from day one. Their music, their fun on stage; and, if you have ever been one of the lucky ones who had one of his three-cornered hats sent flying out to you from stage AND still have that hat, you have truly been blessed for it! Their music was always so fun to dance to also. RIP Paul and hope to see you on the other side someday. God bless you for the legacy you have left us.

I totally forgot how fun and funny these guys were. What a trip down memory lane!! Thanks, again. :D

Love watching this

We lost a great entertainer when Paul passed!

...the good old days!!

I saw them at the COLUMBIA COUNTY FAIR, Chatham, NY years ago. They put on one helluva show.

R.I.P Paul you will truly be missed my friend.... 

I am not sure who is having the better time, the group or the audience, Entertainment!

RIP Paul revere

First saw PR&R when they played a dance at my high school in 1962. In '63 & '64 they were playing in venues all around Portland and Seattle. Usually cost about a buck and a half to get into Armory dances during the summer. Saw them in Vegas in the 80's. Went on a couple cruises with them in the 90's. The last time I saw him was 2005. RIP Paul. The Raiders belong in the R&RHOF.

Best entertainment I have ever seen. I was at the Las Vegas show, a Thunderbird Chassis. No video of that but the Reno show was almost the same. Warm up for the Righteous Brothers and everybody left after being regaled by Paul Revere and the Raiders. I have been to shows in Vegas, Reno, Florida, Los Angles. The best entertainers. Not to be outdone, Ferlin Huskey is the ext best show I have seen.

Great energy. RIP Paul.

Love the Raiders !!!!! Paul was a class act

We saw PR at the hop in Lakewood cal. Mark was in the audience, Also We sat with Bill Medley who owned the club. Greatest concert ever. greatest ever. I miss Paul

I saw them in Jackpot Nevada twice they were so cool..

Paul we miss you,your a great show man and the band so tite it sqeek,s. Fun happy ness and a good time. Thank you,LL always,s live on in are hearts.. woof. Owwooo..

Okay he was a lot of fun to see.❤😊🎉

My Dad took the family to see them in South Lake Tahoe... I had no idea what I was seeing, it was incredible :D

I may have been at this show. My sister and I were practically groupies, hahaha.

Miss Paul and Carl so much

As a close friend of Bill Medley's, we had them at The Hop where I was emcee several times! I was even part of a sketch with them once! HIs show was truly one of the Top Ten All Time Oldies Acts! GREAT TRUE STORY: Paul was known for abusing a mechanical monkey as part of his show! He broke a lot that way, so he used to have a storage facility crammed full of as many as he could buy. Sadly, there was a fire and he lost ALL his Mech Monk stash! Luckily, the music community heard about it and, knowing his show, raised enough to place many of what he lost... 🤩

Paul Revere gave us his all, all the time. Thank you for posting and sharing special moments in time!

The best most entertaining group ever

They were High School for me. One of my favorite bands at the time. I saw then twice. Both times in Reno in the early 2000s. Wonderful show.

what an entertainer he was! and without a doubt the group should be in the RRHoF. Too many classics to ignore

These guys are immortalized by their timeless performances. As a musician in a cover band, I always look forward to playing some Raiders tunes.

Wow! What a fabulous treat! Thanx so so so much for sharing! I used to love to watch these crazies after school on Where the Action Is, and any other time they were on tv. I listened to them on the radio, and on 45s, 33s, 8tracks, reel-to-reels, cassettes, and cds. And, of course, on jukeboxes. Unfortunately, I never got to see them in person, so I really appreciate being able to watch them in wonderfully fun clips, like this one. To those who would campaign for Paul, and his crazy men, whom we all love, to be inducted into the RHoF, and bemoan the fact that they are not in it, and, oh, the injustice of it all, I say, Just Consider This ... Take a good long look at all the worthy performers who are Not in the RHoF, and you will see ... By Not being in the RHoF, Paul Revere and the Raiders are in pretty great company anyway. Those of us who know the genius of these lovely men, and who love love love them already know Paul Revere and the Raiders are The Best!!! RIP, Paul! Thanx, Gentlemen, for the magic, music, and memories. Rock on!!! 😊🌻🦄🍭🌈🎆👍🌟🥳💕 (edit bc my stupidphone can't spell properly 🙄)

MY BESTIE BAND 💓 4EVER!

This was a GREAT concert! Thumb up.

AWESOMENESS 👌

R.I.P Carlo. You will be missed :(

For many years Paul used a Colt Single Action Army .45 to fire blanks during his shows but it took a long time to unload and then reload the gun so he switched to the nickel-plated 6" Colt Python .357, which he could reload with speed loaders. I saw him a bunch of times at Harrah's Cabaret, at Lake Tahoe.

We saw Paul Revere and the Raiders @ Hot August Nights Reno, NV just after Paul had finished his "Ride to the Wall" commemorative album. Paul would lead a large group of Veterans and fellow motorcycle riders to the Viet Nam Wall in Washington, D.C. for years. These songs were from the Viet Nam era; before PR & R started playing that night, Paul recognized ALL of the Military Veterans in the crowd. Throughout the night, PR & R covered the entire Ride to the Wall album bringing tears to many of those in attendance. And yes, he also carried on his usual slapstick humor as you see here.

This was the version of The Raiders that my sons & I saw @ the Moreno Valley, Calif., July 4 event at least 20 years ago. Paul R. & Co. gave us a fun show. The city accidentally started the fireworks about 10 minutes early-the band got a good laugh out of that!

I miss Uncle Paul. What a showman and what a fun time.

Where the Action Is, on the beach. Good tv.

Baby Raider!!

Paul Revere, Carl Griggs, Doug Heath, Ron Foos, Omar Martinez and Danny Krause. As good as it got. The entertainment world will never again see their like. Think of another band that could perform like this. Irreplaceable.

What great shows they put on. Rough edged rocking with a kick

Are you sure this wasn’t a Sid and Marty Krofft production? This production is right up there with Lidsville.

hall of fame....long overdue!!! public enemy really?

I am mad about Rock And Roll.

I don't know how they had a following after 1975 it really became slapstick

And yes. Baby raider

Dick Clark had Master tapes!!

RIP Paul,he gave it his all to the end.

~ This is even more cruel and sad and regrettable in 2018 than it was in 1987. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

I believe that this was 1986 Love this VHS !!!

My only criticism of this video is that half the audio seems to be missing. The right channel of the original stereo audio was likely left out of the mix for this upload. The result is we barely hear Doug Heath's guitar. Otherwise, I love this upload, and appreciate that the band introduction and "President Nixon" guitar solo segments were not edited out as they were in previous uploads.

Wow! Now DAT'S a S H O W !! Only 'Beef' I got is with the soundman seemingly forgetting the slider for the lead guitar!! Even KICKS was low vol for the 12 string! LOGON Man!

Love this

Carlo the legend:)

Do you or don't you think that "Paul Revere & His Raiders: The Last Madman of Rock & Roll" be released on DVD? Hello?!

RIP Paul Revere

Sorry to hear about carlo

What the heck am I watching here? Is it a rock concert or a comedy show?❤❤❤

Well deserving of induction into the RNRHOF. Disgrace they aren't in and dave Clark 5 are.... c'mon America, be proud of these patriots!

PT Barnum had nothing on this great showman! He always gave his audience their money’s worth with his enthusiasm and energy.

Doug Heath "baby raider"

Noty the same without Mark Lindsey

Man, these guys are really going fast.... makes me think they are getting kicks

I just had a question, why did Mark L, leave the band?

where's Mark ?

Just curious. It seemed that Paul seemed to favor "Baby Raider". Never even pointed the gun at him. Can anyone explain this? Not looking for trouble, just curious.

Cherokee Nation

I wish Mark Lindsey was singing here, tho...the RRHOF is such a bunch of assholes; they waited until after Jon Lord died to induct Deep Purple, now Ray Thomas just died before the Moody Blues got inducted, and Paul Revere is dead now....and STILL The Raiders have not been inducted! (The Dave Clark Five has been inducted, but NOT The Raiders? WTF?

Why did the original raiders split up from the group?

Where's Mark Linsey?

Raider slash 🥕 Carrot Top...hehehe

Isn't "Rock Paulanoff" actually "Like Long Hair" from 1961 ?

is this the original line up? great show!

Not sure about this

Quem veio aqui pelos diários do Kurt? kkk

Great band. A little hard to take serious

this guy is amateur night compared to Mark Lindsey!

Sorry....no Mark Lindsay....no Raiders

This is hard to watch. 1) it's not the Raiders without Mark Lindsey and 2) this is bad..even by Las Vegas standards.

they suck without Mark Lindsay

drggs rp

Sorry! I'm a child of the 50s raised in the 60s and this is the worst PR&theRs I have ever seen or heard. Still, the original PR&theRs needs to be in the R&R hall of fame.

This is more like Pee Wee Herman and the Raiders! This audience MUST be paid actors.

The last. NO. We still have Ted Nugent.

This is cringe-worthy. Sad what Paul Revere turned this band into..a clown act.

I was a big fan of the original Raiders. This is not them. At the very least Paul should have called them Paul Revere and the New Raiders to distinguish themselves from the original band.

I don't like this lead singer. I'm a fan of the band and I liked Mark Lindsay and Darren Dowler but not this weird skinny guy.
