to late 60's.

Paul Revere band was out of Boise Idaho and played at Lagoon at least 1 a year. Being a "native" and having friends and relatives working at Lagoon, I always got in free.

I don't know how many times I saw Paul Revere, but it was probably 3-5 times.

Another interesting fact, my wifes cousin, a semi-professional musician from the Boise area used to jam with the group when they would play local venues.

Small world.

They were and still are great.

RIP Paul...died in 2014.

Paul Revere and the Raiders just about as many times as you did.

If I remember correctly, it was a Gold Plymouth Valiant pulling a trailer with the equipment.

They played at our roller rink and some other venues in the area.

No wonder when I go to any show now I am always looking for a keyboard on stage.
