And don't it seem like
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late, girl, you better get straight
No, but not with kicks

[@danielgoertz2664]

We always hear about bands such as Iron Butterfly, Blue Cheer, Steppenwolf, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, being progenitors of Metal and heavy music in general, I've always thought Paul Revere and the Raiders deserve a whole lot more credit than they have ever received. I mean, they knew how to rock. Who doesn't hear a bit of Geezer in that bassline?

[@johnshaner747]

Kids from this generation need to hear this message just like we did.

The best line in rock history. You see no matter what you do you can never runaway from you.

This song reminds me of my junior high school year back in 1966 in Chicago.

[@MissAstorDancer]

Dang! I had truly forgotten how much I dug this band!

[@TheSmileFetcher1961]

Personally, I don't care what the song is about (pro/anti drug), it's a great tune! Great sounding instrumentation and driving beat. Excellent.

[@rolo1955]

I hear that. I first heard this song in 1966. I was 10 and had no idea it was an antidrug song. I just thought it was bitchin!

[@Berniewahlbrinck]

[@johnmaer]

Me Too or Three. Lyrics back then, to me, were largely irrelevant to whether a musical composition and performance grabbed me. Kicks always confounded me because of the great Drake Levin 12-string guitar lick that drove this song, along with Phil's incredible walking bass guitar line that gave the tune depth/foundation. Those 2 instruments and Lindsay's vocal made Kicks and had me humming it incessantly. A great track from an under-rated band in its earliest personnel configuration. Great songs, instrumentation, and a stage act that was clever, funny, and effective.

[@douglasdegraff8335]

This song is sooo Cool. Played in a band that did this, but never sounded this Great!!!!!

[@bensolomon1872]

Oldies like me who lived through the 60's know that, as great a tune as this is, the typical level of musical and lyrical quality was so fantastic through the entire period that this song was actually in the average range.

Cali here. This was one of my first vinyl albums. All the guys in a line wearing white tights. I purchased this album in the sixties. I was a teen in Temple Texas. It was one of my favorite albums, and I played it continuously until it had scratches and it began skipping. Ya'll knows what I'm talking about when you're head over heels for a 78 RPM. And I remember each line of this song. I wish I still had this LP

The quality of this file is excellent. Listening with my headphones on I can clearly hear that the bass player is feeding thru a fuzz box. The band really is good and the singer is fantastic.

[@antrygis1]

Who would have thunk it that the best anti-drug song ever would have been written and performed in 1966? I loved it as an 8 year old but had no clue what it was about. Fantastic!

[@salchaos]

You gotta love the Wrecking Crew on this. Hal Blane, Carole Kaye, Glenn Campbell, et. all. They made it all happen.

[@jennifursun3303]

Amen

[@dicklong6117]

Right the Wrecking Crew was the 60's.

[@memphismick7010]

The Raiders could really play. They were experienced entertainers when they got to this level. You can hear that on the early live stuff. I wonder if it isn't them playing on this song. That rhythm work sounds like Drake Levinson's style, as does the rest of the album's guitar work.

[@oldermusiclover]

@@memphismick7010 not according to two books i have read

[@jtomrx]

I don't believe thats entirely true. I recall reading a few years ago the that these guys were experienced playing the "Garage Band Circuit" back in the 60's . . . and their producer used a few professional players at times in the studio, but for the most part that's ALL BAND playing the Rhythm Tracks, Vocals. But I can understand the reference the "Wrecking Crew" Players. Those guys were amazing. . . . In other words for example, supposedly Ry Cooder and Jerry Cole played Lead guitar parts on "HIM or ME" but that's was the extent of it. In other words, this wasn't like what the Beach Boys had in the studio with Hal Blaine & Glen Campbell etc . . I saw a Wrecking Crew Special a few years ago and Paul Revere & Raiders were never mentioned . . . but who knows . . .

[@jillreynolds9832]

[@garypmarquis]

Played hundreds of times back in the day, into my "earwaves", this song sends more than one message. This tune should be used as logo of an "anti drug" message to all. It seems we all need it now. PR & the Raiders were fun for me when I was a kid but now seem more than that.

[@sswcustomsewing4276]

I agree with you. Paul was a really good person I had the chance to meet him and talk with him a few times. One time he told me about this song and how he lost so many people to drugs and drinking. Why I didn't listen and stop living like an idiot at the time well I wasn't ready to change. Now I hear this song and I'm sure glad I did very grateful I actually got to thank Paul with a straight head.

I took this off the record, as I remember, at Perry’s mother’s dance studio. I sat at the old upright in the corner playing the guitar riff in my right hand and the bass line in left surprised that they actually worked together contrapuntally. “Of course”, Perry said. I must have been expecting wanton polyphonic obliviousness.
