5 boys from Stratford, Ontario really influence the nickname of the Beatles?" By 1966, Till and Kalmusky paralleled the same move Manuel had made after their trip to Arkansas, leaving the Revols, the Fab Four, and Stratford behind, to be full-time members of Hawkins's band. Hawkins's band was famously "picked clean" by Albert Grossman, manager for Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, and Ian & Sylvia. The first of the former Revols to be plucked out by Grossman was Kalmusky, who subsequently played bass with Ian & Sylvia's group, Great Speckled Bird; Todd Rundgren; Jerry Reed; and others. Then, in 1969, the Summer of Love, Till joined Janis Joplin's Kozmic Blues Band, and in 1970 he stayed on to become a member of what became Joplin's last band, the Full Tilt Boogie Band, and recorded the album Pearl, her last record. Two of the original Revols, Manuel and Till, performed at the Woodstock Festival in August 1969, Manuel with the Band and Till with Janis Joplin's Kozmic Blues Band. Reunion In 1984, four original members of the Revols, Kalmusky, Manuel, Rhodes and Till, reunited at the Stratford Shakespearean Festival Theatre as the Revols, opening for the Band at two sold-out performances billed as "The Band/Revols Reunion Shows". Not long after that, Rhodes, Till, Kalmusky, Levon Helm, and Donald "Philbert" Manuel were seen on the cover of People magazine, carrying Richard Manuel's casket out of the funeral service after his death on March 4, 1986. Later developments Two of the original Revols, Till (with Joplin) and Manuel (with the Band), are shown in the 2004 film, Festival Express. Recently, the Revols' 1958 reel-to-reel recording of "Eternal Love", the first original song ever written by Manuel, was taken to famous Toronto engineer and producer Peter J. Moore (Bruce Cockburn, Cowboy Junkies), where it was re-mastered. It is slated to be released on Capitol Records' forthcoming box set Levon and the Hawks: The early years. The Revols have been noted in People magazine and have been written about by Levon Helm, in his autobiography, This Wheel's on Fire; Nicholas Jennings, in Before the Gold Rush; and Barney Hoskyns, in Across the Great Divide. On August 4, 2008, the City Of Stratford dedicated a band shell in Upper Queen's Park to the Revols. A plaque that bears the band's name and the names of its Stratford residents, Ken Kalmusky, Richard Manuel, John Till, Doug Rhodes, Jimmy
