The former Raiders gathered at Phil's house in April 1997 for a long awaited reunion. They found they could still put the magic into the music and discussed the possibility of a reunion concert. The photos are courtesy of Phil Volk and cannot be used without his permission. Thanks Phil, for letting me share them with other fans!

| Sure
was great to relive those glory days with the Raiders!
Drake, Mark, Phil, and Smitty back stage after the show. They were so excited and had so much fun, they could have kept going all night. And the crowd of 10,000 screaming fans would not have minded that one bit. |

I managed to get Phil's guitar pic that he threw from the stage, and had him sign it later. Thanks to the young lady who caught it and gave it to me knowing I was the #1 Fang fan! |

Thanks guys for bringing back all the wonderful memories from the 60's and making some even better ones! A special thank you to Tina Volk for finding me and Terry in that fast growing line in the heat, and letting us in early. We were able to meet all the guys, get our autographs and pictures, and even watch them rehearse! What a treat, and a day I will NEVER forget!
