Paul Revere & the Raiders - Good Thing/Him Or Me/Kicks (live April 30th,1967)(Screaming Stereo)

1st thing..that screaming you hear on the opening billboard was from between songs & that screaming was constant through all 3 songs in both halves of The Big Show.Doing this Mono to Stereo conversion was tough in that the screaming was noticeable on more than 1 separated audio track.
the songs...
Once upon a time, there was a rock band that charted a series of hit singles, one after the other, in the mid-’60s. The photogenic group parlayed its success into a regular gig on a popular afternoon TV series aimed at teenage audiences.
In this case, we’re talking about the Los Angeles-based Paul Revere and the Raiders, who were in the midst of three straight Top 10 albums. Starting with “Just Like Me” in 1965, they were en fuego at Top 40, with five Top 15 hits over the next two years.
Two of those hits are among the four Raiders songs that are featured in Quentin Tarantino’s acclaimed 2019 film, Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood. The comedy-drama, the director’s ninth feature, is set in Los Angeles in 1969 and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a fictional one-time TV star who’s come onto tough times, and Brad Pitt as his stunt double. The plot weaves in several real characters, including actress Sharon Tate, actors Bruce Lee and Steve McQueen, as well as Charles Manson and several members of his notorious “family.”
Good Thing
The Raiders’ lead singer, Mark Lindsay, and their producer, Terry Melcher, were sharing a house on Los Angeles’ Cielo Drive. “It was an incredible place, a very peaceful house,” recalls Lindsay.
As it happened, “Good Thing” was the last song those Raiders members recorded together. That’s Revere on organ, Mike “Smitty” Smith on drums, Phil Volk on bass, Drake Levin on guitar, and Lindsay, of course, singing lead.
“The band was on fire,” says Lindsay, who turned 81 on March 9, 2023. “We were in a very unique place [being] on [the afternoon TV variety show] Where the Action Is five days a week.”
“Good Thing” was surrounded on the chart by many all time classics
The single, released in December 1966, quickly climbed the charts, reaching #4 on January 21, 1967, blocked at the top by the Monkees, among others.
“We were in the unique position to cut a single, go on TV and premiere it. It wasn’t the digital age where you can say something or do something and everyone in the world knows about it in six seconds. AM radio was king then. A lot of times it came like a wave. It would start on one coast and head to the other, until everyone was on it. But with the TV show, everybody saw us at once. Everybody either liked the single or didn’t. But it was great exposure and helped us jump up the charts maybe faster than we might have.
Lindsay says, “I’ve been a big fan of Tarantino’s for a long time. The movie really captures that time of the ’60s… the feel of it… his attention to detail is incredible. Every shot is full of things that tie it to the period. It’s so dense, and so well documented that I have to go back and see it again to catch the things I missed.
“It’s an honor to have a song in the movie. But to have four songs in the movie… (laughs) that blew me away.”
The film earned $40 million in its opening weekend, a career-best for the filmmaker. It ultimately reached $374 million at the worldwide box-office, the second-highest of Tarantino’s career, behind Django Unchained.
"Him or Me - What's It Gonna Be?" is a song written by Mark Lindsay and Terry Melcher, recorded by American rock band Paul Revere & the Raiders for their seventh studio album Revolution!. It can be distinguished from other previous Raiders garage rock hits like "Kicks" and "Hungry" because of its more pop-flavored sound.
Released in 1967, the single, with the biographical "Legend of Paul Revere" as the B-side, became a hit after peaking at No. 5 on June 10. It would prove to be their fourth and last Top 10 hit, until "Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)".
The song is one of the two songs of Paul Revere & the Raiders, along with "Indian Reservation", to be included in the Kent Hartman's list of songs played by the Wrecking Crew in the book The Wrecking Crew: The Inside Story of Rock and Roll's Best-Kept Secret.
"Kicks" is a song composed by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, best known as a 1966 hit for American rock band Paul Revere & the Raiders.
Mann and Weill wrote the song for the Animals, but the band's lead singer Eric Burdon turned it down.Instead, Paul Revere & the Raiders recorded and released it as a single in 1966. The single was a number one hit in Canada, and reached number four in the United States. "Kicks" was included on the band's fifth album, Midnight Ride, released in May 1966. A live version of the song was recorded on the band's 1996 Greatest Hits Live compilation album.

Greatest group of the 60's

[@vincelong3132]

Greatest front man for sure

[@danielbanic3738]

You should have left in the beging of Ed Sulliban yelling at the sound guys to go , thats hilarious. Great job on fixing up this great clip. Yeah , Ed Sullivan's people did'nt do a good job with the mixing of the back track but it does work with Kicks though because the reaction of the girls going crazy when Mark Lindsay goes down on the floor is priceless , ha ha

Why were they ignored in the UK?
Interestingly, Don Fardon’s version of ‘Indian Reservation’ peaked at no. 3 in the British charts.

[@KellysClassics]

I remember Don's version before the Raiders had it (I think).We had his 45 here in Canada.Now I should look for that performance.Thanks 👍🇨🇦

[@KellysClassics]

Since we had both 45's of the 2 performances,I definitely like the Raiders one much better.And tes,why did they not break into the UK market? Damm good question.🇨🇦

[@TheMkarr]

Britton is not to fond of Paul Revere for very obvious reasons.
You should know that.

[@hanno-erdmanntietz8424]

@@TheMkarr Yes, Paul Revere Dick was the one who shouted ‘The British are coming’, about 190 years after Paul Revere warned colonists about a British attack.
Brits surely weren’t pleased.
It was Dick Clark who encouraged the band to dress as American revolutionaries (three-cornered hats, breeches, thigh-length boots, etc.).
However, the quality of their music cannot be denied.
I remember another 60s band whose members wore uniforms: Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, who performed in Civil War era get-ups.

Did Ed Sullivan forbid Mark Lindsay to be shown from the waist down, or something?
