I will be at Epcot on May 9th and want to see Paul Revere & the Raiders. Does anyone know where they play and at what times? Thanks.

I knew nothing about this! We're not going then, but my husband would absolutely LOVE being in WDW when something like that was going on!

Is this an annual event during the Flower and Garden Show? This is a BAD time of the year for DH to vacation, but we might need to work this out sometime!

We went in 2001-mid May and saw Paul Revere and the Raiders twice. It was great-my kids thought we were nuts. They even had an autograph and photo session after their concert!!

Favorite time to go to WDW. My favorite is Peter Noone (Hermit Hermits). We've missed him the pass couple of years. Seen most of them. Actually last year our favorite was Gary Lewis...he put on a great one night only show! Can't wait to catch him this year also, and glad he's saying a little longer. Gary Puckett also does a great show. These concerts are all included in your ticket price. One of our most favorite things to do in the evenings at EPCOT--2 weeks!

My mom is going to be really happy to hear about the photo and autograph session. Hopefully they will do it while we are there. My mom is the fan of Paul Revere and the raiders, I think I only know one of there songs. I will probably recognize more of their songs when I hear them. My kids will think grandma is nuts. I cant wait to get to WDW. Its less then a month now.

During the Wine & Food Festival (October/November) they have the MOTOWN groups.

We saw Mary Wilson (of the Supremes) last year. Her show was great. She put on a different performance each show.

We saw Paul Revere last year. Very good show. Really wanted to see GAry Lewis this year but schedule didn'twork out for us.

Does Peter Noone do different songs each show? We will be there this year to see him.

Thanks to all for the details! It's good to know that there may be a chance for something like this during F & W (tenative '04 plan)!

Does anyone know of a web site where I can listen to some sound clips of Paul Revere and the Raiders music. Im sure I must know more of their songs then just Indian Reservation. I have seen the titles of some of his songs but dont recognize them. I might know them if I hear the sound clips. THanks

betterlatethannever, yes he does different sets during the different concert times. We hadn't realized that, but stayed after one concert and was surprised to hear other favorites that he hadn't sung earlier. I stood in line to get my picture taken with him, and let me say, age has been good to this one. He was so pleasant and accommodating. He's a funny guy and has lots of charima. (on a side note: age has not been very good to paul revere and the raidors, who refers to himself as "captain crunch"). Gary Lewis was also a extremely pleasant person to meet, and genuinely enjoyed himself as much as we enjoyed him (last year was his first appearance at EPCOT and he and HIS band were absolutely great).

Also caught the Motown concerts last October (I think Mary Wilson and Sister Sledge). A nice change to the food and wine festival.

Actually I think the only other song to make it into the top ten was "Kicks" in 1963 or 1964.

Last year, those were the only two songs they played that was theirs (or at least that I recognized) They played "We're an American band" by Grand Funk Railraod and others songs by different bands that I can't remember right now.

We arrive May 15 so we will miss PR & Raiders. Can you believe I had one of their albums when I was in 6th grade? I can't remember any of the songs, but I remember mooning over their pictures. I thought they were sooooo cute (along with the Beatles).

Oh yippee, an outlet for my collection of usually useless trivia:

Paul Revere & the Raiders actually had 5 top ten songs. Their only number one was "Indian Reservation" in 1971 but they reached #6 with "Hungry" in '66, #5 with "Him or Me - What's It Gonna Be" in '67, And #4 with both "Kicks" and "Good Thing" in '66.

One reason they may not do many of their hits in concert is that Paul Revere wasn't the lead singer. It was Mark Lindsay who doesn't often tour with them any longer.

WOW. I know my memory is failing but I can't remember hearing those other songs before. I was a teenager back then and I've been listening to oldies (50s & 60s) radio since the mid seventies. (I think disco turned me off to "current music" LOL)

BTW, Mark Lindsey still performs separate from the Raiders. I saw a schedule of his concerts on some web site a while back. I would like to go see him in concert someday.

Thanks,

I'll make sure I get to each of the concert times (maybe not on the same day)

You're right about Paul Revere not aging gracefully. Especially when you compare him to Dick Clark (who diesn't age) who produced the TV show in the 60s which Paul Revere and the Raiders hosted.

The current Raiders have been with Paul Revere since the 70s (after Indian Reservation) so they're MUCH younger LOL.

Go to www.marklindsay.com to get more information on what Mark Lindsay is doing nowadays. It includes his tour schedule, his newest cd's and a great message board. This is the last year he will be touring before retiring next year, so if he's in your area make sure you go see him! Take care, Becky
