This song said so much and made such an impression on us back then, a reminder of what human beings are capable of in the name of the law. Paul Revere organized the Raiders in 1958 in Idaho. They were the first rock group to be signed with Columbia Records. In 1965-1966 they were featured on the ABC TV five-day-a-week network show "Where the Action Is" produced by Dick Clark, and appeared on 520 ABC network shows.
In 1968 & 1969 Paul Revere co-hosted a weekly ABC series "Happening". He also co-hosted a five-day-a-week summer show, "It's Happening".
In the summer of 1971 the Raiders' recording of "Indian Reservation" sold nearly 4 million singles, making it the biggest selling record for Columbia Records in 10 years. The group has performed thousands of concerts in North America, Europe and Asia as well as being seen on major TV shows.
Paul Revere and the Raiders had 25 consecutive hit singles. Revere has continued to play shows on the oldies circuit and in Branson, Missouri with various Raiders. Lindsay is semi-retired and lives in Portland, Oregon, where he hosts a radio show on a local station KLTH 106.7FM. Keith Allison, who played in the Raiders from 1968 to 1975, has since gone into acting, and has appeared in the film Gods and Generals. In 1997, the group's classic 1966 Midnight Ride lineup (singer Mark Lindsay, guitarist Drake Levin, bassist Phil "Fang" Volk and drummer Mike "Smitty" Smith) reunited in full costume (though without Revere himself) for a 30th anniversary performance in Portland. Smith died four years later.

Remember Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders, and their hit song The Game of Love, from 1965? Here's some interesting facts. In 1962, he formed his group Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders and got a recording contract. He was still under contract to Fontana Records after parting with The Mindbenders. He continued on alone, using musicians under the name of the Opposition. Sometimes they were billed as the Mindbenders, or just as the Wayne Fontana band. In 2005 he fought off bankruptcy, but was arrested after police were called in by bailiffs who went to his home in Glossop, Derbyshire. It is claimed that gasoline had been poured onto the hood of a car, and set on fire with a bailiff inside. Fontana was remanded in custody on May 25, 2007, in regard to the charge. He appeared at Derby Crown Court dressed as the lady of justice, with a sword, scales, crown, cape and dark glasses, claiming "justice is blind". He dismissed his lawyers. All that being said, you have to admit he's still a talented musician. Here's a clip I put together from The Game of Love taped in 1965, and more recently during a show in 2006. They're still doing concerts, and at 63, Wayne Fontana hasn't lost it yet, at least not his voice!

Here's Bryan in concert live at Wembley Stadium in London, 1992, singing (Everything I do) I Do it For You. He was born in Kingston, Ontario, but lived in England, Israel, France, Portugal, and Austria with his diplomat parents through most of the 1960s. He started his musical career after dropping out of school at the age of 15. One of his most successful albums is Waking up the Neighbours. It was released in September 1991 and featured the single "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You", which was also used in the film "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Since the 1980's, Bryan has been a noted social activist, to this day participating in concerts and other activities to help raise money and awareness for a variety of different causes.

'Brooklyn Roads' by Neil Diamond, 1968. One of Neil's best songs...gives me chills.
Neil was born into a New York family and reared in New York City, growing up in the borough of Brooklyn, New York in the United States, and he attended Erasmus Hall and Abraham Lincoln High Schools. At Erasmus Hall, he took part in SING! and sang in the school choir with Barbra Streisand, who was then spelling her name 'Barbara.' At Lincoln, the school from which he received his high school diploma, he was a member of the fencing team, and even to this time, he still warms up with fencing exercises before his concerts. He learned to play guitar after receiving one as a gift on his 16th birthday, and has cited Pete Seeger as an early inspiration.

The clip was taken from Stevie's stop in Detroit at the famous Masonic theatre. Overall the entire show was excellent and was by far the best of the Stevie concerts out there. Stevie interacts and brings down the house.
Live in 1984

I vividly remember going to see John Denver at Saratoga Performing Arts Center when I was about 5 or 6 years old and hearing this song. There was a big screen in back of John with eagles and hawks flying. I was totally enthralled by it. I believe my love of the eagle, and the hawk, come from this moment in my life. (That and when I viewed my first bald eagle soaring over our school when I was in first grade). There's something magical about them. Their grace, beauty and power never cease to captivate me. This compilation is from various concerts from the 70s and 80s.
