"Ups And Downs" #22 3/18/1967

By now, Paul Revere and the Raiders were a bit similar to the Beach Boys. They had one lineup doing live gigs (Revere, lead singer Mark Lindsay and a revolving door of other players) and another lineup in the studio, Lindsay and the best studio musicians assembled by the guy that turned down Charlie Manson for a record deal, producer Terry Melcher, Doris Day's son. That band setup eventually łed to friction between Paul and Mark that never was fully resolved prior to Paul's passing in 2014. Too bad. Video is from the Smothers Brothers TV show, which premiered in February 1967.
