I saw Paul Revere & the Raiders in 1966 @ the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, Conn. The opening acts were :
Chad & Jeremy
The Shags
George's Boys (apparently with Michael Bolton as lead vocalist) and they were one of thee best band I saw in that era
As well as I remember, Volk was present - & yes, Mr. Lindsay "allowed" his belt to fall forward in a position that "grabbed the little girls attention"

A former record shop coworker who had been in several New Haven area bands in the mid 1960s was the source of the info. One day I casually mentioned I had seen George's Boys & he mentioned that Michael Boloton was the vocalist. My inclusion of "apparently" was based on this info. If Bolotin was indeed 13 years old @ the time, I guess that would question the info. My comment was never made to mislead anyone with inaccurate info. George's Boys, whomever the vocalist may have been, were an excellent band that had obviously seen the Rolling Stones TAMI Show appearance.
I may have a photocopy of the Oakdale ad for the show & I will look around the house for it.

What are "nitrous hits"? Bad or lame versions of hits?

George's Boys had members who later left the group and perfromed as the Bram Rigg Set. George's Boys continued for only a short time later.
Two unreleased Bram Rigg Set tracks on the Sundazed comp are erroneously credited to them:
"Sleepless Nights" - actually recorded by the Ravens, an updated version, different than their '65 single version)
"Luv" - was recorded by the Road Runners, from Wallingford CT. The version on the Sundazed Don't Press Your Luck" comp is an alternate version, another version was recorded and issued on an acetate as part of Arf Arf's "New England Teen Scene: Unreleased" 2 CD series back int he '90s.
I corrected the info, and Sundazed reprinted the CD jacket liners showing the corrections and a couple of bonus photos. Early pre-release and promo copies have the uncorrected liner notes.
