PAUL REVERE AND THE RAIDERS

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

Hard to believe Paul Revere is not in the rock and roll Hall of Fame ! Here is a guy that has entertained, created and just had fun not only for himself but for the world. 52 years is all !

Concluded my great week of entertainment by taking in Paul Revere and the Raiders at the South Point showroom. There was another guy on the bill who got top billing on their marquee....Bill Medley !

I have done this story all before and continue to be entertained with this old music and the general amount of fun in this show. Its continues to grow with the next generation, top notch production and lots of old video clips from a time when the Righteous Brothers and Paul Revere dominated the 60's. This all is not lost on the crowds that attend these shows...lots of people my age and the age of Paul Revere 71ish and Bill Medley 68ish....Bill a tad scratchy now but he started with so much voice....he has a lot to lose.

Cannot express the joy that Paul Revere brings to me and the world, just natural fun and nonesense that plays right into my heart. I love ya Paul, you too Bill.

Hopefully South Point will continue to run this show in three or four times a year
