It’s Happening at Chinook Winds ... by Teresa Simmons Take a Wild Ride with Paul Revere and the Raiders Paul Revere organized the Raiders in 1958. Since then, it’s been one wild performance after another with 25 consecutive hit singles, eight gold albums, and nearly 50 million records sold. “Louie, Louie,’’ “Ooh Poo Pah Doo,’’ “Just Like Me,” “Kicks,” “Hungry,” “Good Thing,” and “Indian Reservation” (which sold nearly 3 million singles, making it the biggest selling record for Columbia Records in 10 years) are among their many hits. In 1965-1966, the group was featured on the ABC TV five-day-a- week network show, “Where The Action Is,” produced by Dick Clark. In 1968 and 1969, Paul Revere co-hosted a weekly ABC series, “Happening,” which featured the Raiders. They’ve done numerous TV and radio commercials, been featured on many TV shows, and have performed thousands of concerts in North America and Europe. Paul Revere, the only remaining member of the original group, has been called the “Mad Man of Rock ‘n’ Roll” for good reason. On stage, Revere carries on with maniacal glee, as if he wants to get in the last laugh before the men in the white coats carry him off. Although the members of the band have changed over time, the on-stage excitement has remained supercharged and the quality of music has only improved. It’s truly a “blast from the past.” Concert times are 8 p.m. on Friday and 7 and 10 p.m. on Saturday. Ticket prices range from $15 to $30, depending on seat location. Air Supply, con’t from page 19 In 1977, they had another big hit, “Do What You Do,” from their second album. This same year, Rod Stewart asked them to join him on a tour through the United States and Canada, which provided the steppingstones that would see Air Supply begin to reach their famous status in the United States. A rearrangement of the band, necessitated by the departure of Jeremy Paul, didn’t slow them down. In April 1979, they released “Life Support in Australia,” their third album. “Lost in Love” from this album charted immediately on release within the top 20. Meanwhile in America, Air Supply signed a $1.5 million international deal with Arista and released a revised, more “hip” version of “Lost In Love” in the U.S. In February 1980, the song already had reached No. 3 on Billboard’s chart. This was the first of seven consecutive singles to enter the American top 5. 20 Over the next three years, Air Supply produced hit after chart rating hit: “All Out Of Love,” “Every Woman In The World,” “Sweet Dreams,” “Even The Nights Are Better,” and the Jim Steinman- penned smash hit “Making Love Out of Nothing At All,” which remained at No. 2 on Billboard for three weeks. In 1991, under the Giant label, they came back strong with the release of a new album, “The Earth Is,” beginning a trend of releasing a new album every other year. In 1995, in Taipei, Taiwan, they recorded “Greatest Hits Live,” their first live album. Their music continues to grow, always reflecting the harmonies that made them. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience their talent, live and in person, when they come to Chinook Winds. The show is at 8 p.m. each night, with ticket prices ranging from $25 to $40, depending on seat location. Tanya Tucker Tanya Tucker in Concert in March Chinook Winds Casino and Convention Center is proud to present one of country music’s five top-charting female recording artists of all time, Tanya Tucker, in concert on March 9 and 10. Tucker launched her career two decades ago with “Delta Dawn,” her first hit at the tender age of 13. Since then, she’s had innumerable hits, been the topic of conversation in many tabloids, became the mother of a son and a daughter, and has received a multitude of country music awards. With 28 albums to her credit and about 200 performances per year, Tucker continues to delight audiences worldwide. “Soon,” “Love Me Like You Used To,” “It’s a Little Too Late,” “Two Sparrows In A Hurricane,” “Strong Enough To Bend,” and “What’s Your Mama’s Name?” are just a few of her chart-busting hits that span more than 20 years of success in country music. Tucker’s most recent awards include the 1991 Country Music Association’s Female Vocalist of the Year; 1993 Country Music Hall of Fame’s Walkway of Stars induction; 1993 Country Music Television’s Female Video Artist of the Year; 1993 Academy of Country Music’s Video of the Year for “Two Sparrows In A Hurricane”; 1994 Grammy nominations for Best Female Vocalist and for Vocal Collaboration on “Romeo” with Kathy Mattea, Dolly Parton, and Mary Chapin Carpenter; and the June 1994 CMT Showcase artist of the month.
