On 4/13/2022, Who's still listening to this song and to Paul Revere & The Raiders? In 1966-69 I was in Elementary School and will still be listening, I'm 66 Yrs old. This was one of my favorite groups because they looked cool in their outfits from the 1700's.

Kicks came out in 1966 so 56 years ago. They were on the tail end of the British Invasion music scene.

At 14 yrs. old, I saw this band in '65 at the Long Beach Arena in California, a daytime show that ended way before dark. The Rolling Stones, The Byrds, Paul Revere and the Raiders, a few other acts on the bill also.. The Raiders, far and away, had the best stage presence. Dancing the pony while playing, super long curly cords to their amps so when they turned sideways they could make them wave up and down while playing, just a great stage act. They played perfectly... it was a great show. Of course the Stones were the Top Bill. First time I saw any of these acts live. I think the tickets were around $4.....LOL

Way back in 1976 I was working part- time at Disneyland and Phil had a group called the" Friendship Train" that played at the Tomorrowland Terrace. I used to go watch them every chance I could and I think his sister was also in the group at that time. He continues to be a great ambassador for the Raiders and and all the epic music that came out of the 60's !!

Glad to see "fang" alive as i heard he passed a few years ago..thanks for posting this very good..Im a big Raiders fan from wayback then..they dominated A.M. radio for a time and hit after hit..helped me growing up in a rural area far from the maddening crowds of people where I wanted to be but..radio was my touch stone for being part of it all but the electricity and magic of that time was felt and i can't understand why the 60's is neglected as this is where the music today grew from..even rap was done by Lennon way back and I still can feel it when hearing music like this and Im pretty old but...yeah yeah yeah..thanks to all those bands as many has passed over even Freddie of the dreamer's..so many

Sadly, Phil lost his beloved Tina, a year ago. The Volk family has always been close, & were fantastic when they performed together. My friends & I were blessed to have been able to attend many, of the "Where The Action Is" tapings. The Raiders were always kind & gracious. Spoke with Paul & Phil the most, & they couldn't have nicer. Tina was a complete sweetheart, & we were thrilled when she & Phil got together. It was so refreshing to be on the "Action" sets, & find everyone to be as friendly as they appeared on TV. 🎶Sure miss that show, it's great music, & genuinely good, wholesome fun🎶

I got to see the Raiders playing down in the creek at the Renaissance Pleasure Fair in Agoura in about 1969 when I was just a tyke. Then, about 30 years later, Mark Lindsay played at our local Concerts in the Park where he told a great story about that show. I don't know, it kind of made me feel special, as I was probably the only one there who saw him the first time!

Phil Volk left the Raiders in 1967, and has spent the rest of his life playing up the fact that he was a Raider for 2 years. Should have stayed with the group, but he and Drake and Smitty thought they were gonna be stars with their own band. Harpo at least had a successful career doing children's music.

When a gentleman named Tony Rice passed away, Mark posted a video of him playing Freeborn Man. I said that I'd seen two old veteran country singers on TV sing that one. At the end, one said, " That was written by a couple rock and rollers!" "Mark Lindsay and Keith Allison."
