This is an absolutely hilarious video. The sax falling apart, playing the drums with a fly swatter, the guy stepping off the stage etc etc. I love this vid. TYVM to the poster. :)

@@DarkfiendsAngel Hey! That is very good to know, I just can’t stop myself from listening to this song anytime am alone! If I may ask which of all their songs is your favourite? Have a great day… Stay Safe
After this came out, every band was playing Louie Louie at all the college campuses and it was so much fun to dance to! Washington State even tried to make this its state song. Love love loved Paul Revere and the Raiders! Such great memories.
I really dig how Mark Lindsay, Fang, and Drake Levin did the "Raider" kick at the end of this video. Paul Revere & The Raiders were a real tight band in their day.
Just saw him Sat. night at Hot August Nights. 73 yrs. old and still puts on a great show. Missed Mark Lindsey but Paul is still the wild and crazy guy he was 50 years ago.
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.
@@JohnnyNation yep! they always stayed at the Jamaica Motel in Portland when they were playing in the area and we, "The Fabulons" were often invited to hang after the shows!
I'm sad to hear about Paul Revere passing. He was an honorable man and a true performer who knew in his heart what rock & roll is about. RIP my friend!
We have a local reunion band who gets together every year to raise money for a local food pantry and they sing this song every year, They played back in the 60s when I was in high school!
The kids at my high school in my freshman year wore out this record in the jukebox! It must've made the school lots of coin! I must've heard it a thousand times and never got tired of listening (or dancing) to it!
Paul Revere and the Raiders were my first concert at the Corpus Christi TX Coliseum, my sisters took me. I was 7 years old and fell in love with Mark Lindsey. ❤❤❤❤❤

Remember these guys were the feature band for TV's Where the Action is! Awesome show for daytime tv. Freddie Cannon sang the theme song, but the Raiders were mouthing it.
Mark Lindsay could play a mean sax --wish he was playing on this clip. Loved the Raiders and so glad I was able to see Paul Revere in concert with the "new" Raiders several times in the past 10 years. You will be missed.

Danced @ Parker’s on HWY 99 Seattle WA to these amazing musicians! They are so funny too!! My daughter sent me the music & said are these the Beach boys? I really like them!! I’m almost 73, she’s 41… she knows the beat, maybe not the name, but it’s 😎. I took my son up to Vancouver Canada one night after seeing shift @ Boeing to see Michael Jackson when he was still young… my son was probably 10-11 yrs old. ( had him when I was 17 &1/2. That was one of the greatest concerts ever & I’ve seen Jimi Hendrix, loving spoonful, Little Stevie Wonder, The Young Rascals (3x), Rate Earth, Isley Brothers, Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire ( what a concert! Came from above w/white smoke( dry ice) George Benson, Bad Company, Emy Lou Harris, dang there’s more. Last group I saw was moody blues @ the gorge but too high to get out of the suv w/too high friends. Ridiculous! I stopped after that… getting high that is & concerts…😎😂😂
back about 25 years ago while in early high school I had this "various artist " album , orange non-descript cover, I acquired from my parents along with some other gems.(along with a bang and olefson turntable and bose 901s....and I used to complain about not having anything....sheeeesh.) the only song I played was this insane version louie louie. I nor anybody I knew ever heard this version and I would blow peoples minds with it. this sounds almost exactly like the version on that album which in fact is a live version.the only diff I can hear from memory is that the album version is cleaner.(this video of the show really might be that recording.) 3 years ago it dawned on me to check e-bay. OMG they had 3 of them and 2 were mint. bought all three.i never in a million years would of thought a video existed. I just felt the same joy I felt the first time I played that album. THANK YOU king vidiot !!!
PR and the Raiders were on 750 tv shows and hosted Dick Clarks Happening 68 tv show which aired Jan 68 until May of 69. No other Rock and roll act has been on more tv than these guys who were real showman.Long live PR and the Raiders!
I swear I remember watching them playing this live, with Mark on the tenor sax. Not the toy he has here. I had the same one. Got it for Christmas, that year.
Mark Lindsey told an interviewer howThe Kingsmen recorded their version of Louie Louie 3 days before the Raiders recorded theirs, which got The Kingsmen's version on the air first. Mark Lindsey laments that the Kingsmen's Louie Louie may have become the "standard" version that listeners think of because of that
I remember watching Paul and the Raiders on "Where The Action Is" back in the 60's with my sister. She had a crush on both Mark and Fang. Pretty sure they were a staple on the show.
I'm from Tacoma....imagine these guys at the Armory back in the 60's with the Sonics, Don and the Goodtimes, The Wailers.....man, I'm old!!! The Raiders DO own this.
They're going to be playing at Seven Feathers Casino this weekend on December 15th and I wish like hell I could be there!!! I LOVE Paul Revere & The Raiders!
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe
When any band played this, everybody danced--no one sat it out. Sometimes they played it for 30 minutes at a time and improvised lyrics, some were x-rated. Some bands played this several times per night. It was popular for years.
I know I sound like a broken record, but this is the best version ever - and I've heard about a dozen different recordings! Mark's voice beats out all the rest!
They appeared on Johnny Carson and did this raw version of "Big Boy Pete" great raw clip posted on CZcams after Paul's death under "Rest In Peace Paul Revere"
I owned this one on vinyl and some other albums they produced. Northwest migration of the material from surf style groups increased the popularity of the tune and the US garage bands ate it up. The Kingsmen's version had a lot to do with further advancing the instrumental breaks younger bands were taking. Just a thought.
@kingvidiot66 Agreed. In his book Louie Louie, Dave Marsh tells the story of how the Kingsmen scooped the Raiders and had the big hit with the song, even though the Raiders' version was out first. The other funny thing is that the Kingsmen's version was a rehearsal take. They thought they were doing a run-through and were shocked when the producer told them that was it. That's what accounts for the famous mistake in the last verse when the singer comes in a bar too early with "Me see..."
When Mark Lindsay said "Give me a Big F Sharp", Paul did. He gave us a Big Fantastic life full of memories. I heard Drake and Smitty helped open the door for Paul. Now you other guys, don't be in no rush to join them...we need ya for awhile longer
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
lol; I really dig the way Smitty says "Grab your woman, it's a Louie Louie time!!" at the beginning of this video. Also when Mark Lindsay clowns around by holding the sax to his ear and then it falls apart and then Mark tries to hide it in his back and Smitty cracks up. Also when Mark whispers in Paul's ear and Paul goes "Waahh Hahhh!" After Mark, Fang and Drake do that really cool "Raider" kick Fang hits Mark on the head with the toy guitar!!! lol!!! RIP Drake and Smitty

The Mono LP of "Paul Revere & The & The Raiders Greatest Hits" contained this version with screaming live overdubs laced all over it. Still, it is MUCH more exciting sounding in its tampered form there than the more common Stereo version heard on the Stereo LP of the same album (and later CD).
@alonenjersey You are so right...PR and the Raiders added so much to the tune...Kingsmen don't hold a candle...Has any one ever heard the song "Over You" by Paul Revere and the Raiders?
The mid 60's was a fun period! Take a look these guys are all having fun, and goofing off. The minute you take yourself too seriously is when your music starts to suck!
Agreed--they made fun of the fact they were told to lip-sync--they didn't like it so they made fun in a light hearted way. They didn't want to lip-sync.
OH YEAH!!! I don't think this ever lost popularity as a party song. It makes ya shiteheaded and pie eyed just listenin' to it. Todays arstist could learn somthing here. Most the time, LESS IS MORE!!
@alonenjersey I'm with you man....I always thought the Raider version was harder, heavier and bluesier. The Kingsmen version was more of a partyish, pop tune. This version fu***king rocks!!!
My wife grew up in the Portland area and saw the Raiders several times, like at the Armory and Headless Horseman and other venues from back in the day. I was too close to Canada to do that. Stones throw from the British Columbia border. Heard their tunes on the RADIO though.
Mark Lindsay, such a sexy spazz. This is great. I loved the silly antics of PR and the Raiders. I remember watching them on Where The Action Is when I was 5 or 6. My teenaged sister used to have me watch these things with her. I am so glad she did.

When I was in college the guys from Boise would tell about the times they hired Paul Revere and the Raiders for their high school dances. Paul is still about. Plays Jackpot Nevada from time to time. That I know of
Shows that the USA did not really need a British Invasion to save rock and roll: just promote more of the best of the American bands, like The Raiders, of the time and we'd been fine (though I loved The Yardbirds).
Wonderful and very amusing video - a fantastic group throughout several incarnations, beginning as "teen heart throbs" with talent - and clever enough to "take the mickey" out of themselves and the 60s pop scene - I think it might be Rhino records has/had the best of their compilations (also check out Raven records - Australia) Always loved this band...
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
Has anyone noticed that Paul & company are the only Group that played the song to the orginal beat that Richard Berry & Rockin Robin Roberts & the Wailers played too . The Kingsmen and every Group from that point in time have played the song to a different beat
Just about every group in the Pacific Northwest recorded this song. Raiders actually recorded it before Kingsmen, but they released it first. Been a movement (don't know if stll active) to get Louie, Louie declared Washington state song!
it's amazing that paul and mark are still around 50 yrs. now damn i must be getting old too but their music will live on. looks like this is the core group with paul mark drake fang and smitty that really should be in the r&r hall of fame rip smitty and drake
Best band to come out of America
God...they were soooooooooooooo much fun! I do miss that...
This is an absolutely hilarious video. The sax falling apart, playing the drums with a fly swatter, the guy stepping off the stage etc etc. I love this vid. TYVM to the poster. :)
I am so glad my parents raised me with an apperication for this great music what comes out today I am totally lost

Louie Louie,” a song written by Richard Berry and first recorded by Berry and his band, the Pharaohs, in 1957
I really dig how Mark Lindsay, Fang, and Drake Levin did the "Raider" kick at the end of this video. Paul Revere & The Raiders were a real tight band in their day.
The little kicks.
I'm 18 now and i think it gives songs that are so great that the age doesn't matter in enjoying 'em...
Enjoyed this much more than I expected to. Thanks for posting.
Great version of Louie Louie, such great fun HS in the 60's.
Just saw him Sat. night at Hot August Nights. 73 yrs. old and still puts on a great show. Missed Mark Lindsey but Paul is still the wild and crazy guy he was 50 years ago.
Back when it was still okay to smile and have fun on stage. Every one knew you were lip-syncing but nobody cared.
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.

Paul Revere & the Raiders were the best Damn American band , During the British Invasion
RIP Paul......you will not be forgotten. You left a mark on Rock and Roll forever + showmanship. THE BEST!
This is, by far, the best version of this song. Loved this band, we even opened for them once at the Portland Armory!
Cool. Did you get to meet/hang out ??!!
@@JohnnyNation yep! they always stayed at the Jamaica Motel in Portland when they were playing in the area and we, "The Fabulons" were often invited to hang after the shows!
Love this, the silliness and a young Mark Lindsay and his amazing voice.
I'm sad to hear about Paul Revere passing. He was an honorable man and a true performer who knew in his heart what rock & roll is about. RIP my friend!
this is one of the best versions of the song! 1965 GTO convertable, tiki joe hats, white t-shirts and shorts, crusin'!
Me Too. Just getting to luv those sixties bands touring the Pac NW including Sonics and Liverpool Five. Thanks to sites like this on You Tube.
We have a local reunion band who gets together every year to raise money for a local food pantry and they sing this song every year, They played back in the 60s when I was in high school!
My niece didn't sign out and didn't realize it when I posted the above. LOL!
A massive live performance and a cover...! 🕵🏻🎶😃👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
The kids at my high school in my freshman year wore out this record in the jukebox! It must've made the school lots of coin! I must've heard it a thousand times and never got tired of listening (or dancing) to it!
I first saw them when I was a little girl. Still watching them still. LOL They were good. \m/
Paul Revere and the Raiders were my first concert at the Corpus Christi TX Coliseum, my sisters took me. I was 7 years old and fell in love with Mark Lindsey. ❤❤❤❤❤
My first one as well. I loved this band. Forget when it was, 66? In Nashville.
GRANDE PAUL RIVERE & THE RAIDERS. Saludos desde Lima Perú
The definitive band--Paul, Mark, Phil, Smitty and Drake.
I totally agree with you. Nobody better than Mark, Fang, and God bless him Drake. Jannis Melius.
the best version ever!
mark is one of the greatest frontmen/stars of the 60s.
i love this clip, and the way they do this tune!

I love watching this video, they're a comedy act - a regular riot!
I'm glad I got to see them in concert a while ago
R.I.P Paul
Love this natural sound that is missing in today's music.....awesome..
I remember watchin them on Shindig!

Back when life was fun and you could do anything without fear of negative waves.
Back in those days groups seemed to be forced to work with prerecordings for TV but these guys were very talented.
I heard this before the Kingsman's version. I still like it best.

Paul Revere and the raiders had way more soul singing louio Loui, than anybody else, the ultimate party tune of all time!!!

OH YEAH!!! I don't think this ever lost popularity as a party song. It makes ya shiteheaded and pie eyed just listenin' to it.
Todays arstist could learn somthing here. Most the time, LESS IS MORE!!
I always looked forward to watching them play on Where The Action Is. They never disappointed!
So talented.
@alonenjersey I'm with you man....I always thought the Raider version was harder, heavier and bluesier. The Kingsmen version was more of a partyish, pop tune. This version fu***king rocks!!!
What a great performance. Way back in the day this was a big party song. I wonder if it still is? Good memories.
My wife grew up in the Portland area and saw the Raiders several times, like at the Armory and Headless Horseman and other venues from back in the day. I was too close to Canada to do that. Stones throw from the British Columbia border. Heard their tunes on the RADIO though.

THANKS for the memory!! Another great post. This was feel good, fun time group then and they still are!!
Mike was in the band from 1962 to 1965 when I worked with them in Portland, Vancouver, Salem, Bend, etc.... Sorry he has had some bad times
When I was in college the guys from Boise would tell about the times they hired Paul Revere and the Raiders for their high school dances. Paul is still about. Plays Jackpot Nevada from time to time. That I know of
THE best version of Louie Louie !!!
You were a lucky bugger...both great rockers deserving more appreciation but glad they can now be found on You Tube. Thanks for the post.
I always preferred this version. It's a bit more jazzy!
Shows that the USA did not really need a British Invasion to save rock and roll: just promote more of the best of the American bands, like The Raiders, of the time and we'd been fine (though I loved The Yardbirds).
The Raiders’ guitar solo is pretty cringy and awkward compared to The Kingsmen’s.
Sickening shtick. I remember it well, Where The Action Is at lunchtime.
@alonenjersey i'm with you!! I'm 20 years old and i love this old music!!! My dad turned me on to this stuff and i love it!!
RIP Paul Revere
we Love Paul Revere and the Raiders of course were 55 years old too
AWESOME!!!!!!!
WONDERFUL !!! love their rendition..... thanks for the memories, PAUL. RIP. LOVE YA, Mark ! Rest well, Smitty and Drake...................
@Smaptimania that was FRICKIN AWESOME! dont forget glenn beck too
dude/dudette-you are HILARIOUS! my hat's off to you-im laffing my butt off!
Mark Lindsay sure could belt it out. On many other songs to including Steppin' Stone. Recorded by Paul Revere and The Raiders Before The Monkees.
Sometimes you don't mess with perfection.
Love the sunglasses on the geetar players
