Paul Revere & The Raiders were all over American TV back then.

Fang has been playing with his family band Fang & the Gang for years now but he plays a Jazz Bass these days.

Loved those guys. Great rock sound, always upbeat and compelling sound.

I remember how delighted I was in the late 90's when I went to a meeting in Tahoe and found Paul Revere was doing his night club show there.  He had the Mustang grille piano that night.  I have a signed photo of that appearance.

Supposedly Paul kept certain distilled spirits hidden behind the Mustang front end.

Here's a new one. Always happy to see (what looks like) a black Bicentennial. Tommy Shaw still sounds great.

That was cool. Shaw is one of those jerks that never seem to age much.  :mrgreen: Nice that they still include Chuck. Sucherman is a monster drummer. Love that guy's playing.

Saw this recently, Chuck Garric with a sparkly silver Thunderbird; looks like maybe a Vintage Pro?

Looks like it... you can see a fairly good view of the head mid-way through... Certainly looks like this is one in this vid and you can clearly see the two-part bridge and tail in this one...

That one looks plain white to me. Not silver sparkle...

I put down scratch drums and the bass line for this months ago (with plans to do a quarantine video at some point). Then after Syl died last week, I got the other guys in my band to do their parts over the weekend (including using a drummer from Fiverr who sounded like he'd do a good job). It's obvious I recorded my part months ago because I couldn't even get the (mimed) bass part right! Well, it's only rock and roll, right? BTW, that's my Greco. Hoping it'll be alright in here.  :mrgreen:

Chuck went down in history for his quippy answer to the question why he was playing a Ric (followed by an Alembic) rather than a Fender: "Because I want to be heard."

I always liked his bass playing, very "Germanic" in how structured it was.

That was a Shaw rather than a DeYoung tune, but I still miss Dennis' Barry Manilow looks (and sometimes songwriting style!). He was such an integral part. I used to make fun of his Broadway musical type voice, but it gave them a lot of identity.
