Memphis ( The Ventures)

[cinemaxzyk]

GUITARS SHOW SHOW

[19Tom44]

I give up. Where is Lonnie Mack's version of this song? I love the Ventures, but I have the single "Memphis" by Mack, which I learned to love, but I can't find it on Youtube. Any suggestions?

[HomeSkillet489]

wow i thought all ventures stuff was instrumental

[1968Digger]

Rock and roll hoochie coo!!

[lawrenceqpadilla]

Great Chuck Berry tune by an equally great band, The Ventures, with Rick Derringer sitting in. The first rock n' roll song I learned to play on the guitar was "Walk Don't Run" they were a big influence on a lot of guitar bands. When I listen to the Allman Brothers "Ramblin' Man" and Duane Allman and Dickie Betts harmonize at the end of the song it reminds me of that Venture sound. Great video!

The pattern on singer's shirt is from Japan's military flag. He would be condemned if he wears it in the Orient.

[steelpicker67]

He was also in The McCoys of Hang on Sloopy fame.

[armstrongbrosband]

Who is the guy singing?

[john88480]

@armstrongbrosband i don.t know who he is but i sure enjoy his playing the guitar on the high notes.

[medicinecrow65]

@john88480 It's Rick Derringer. He's been around a long time, was in Montrose, Edgar Winter Group and solo as well.

[john88480]

the little guy in red is having a great time ..he does play very well ,

[TheRealRockerRants]

This is a great video, when was it made?

[dorevenk]

[tcb5677]

Yeah I love this my band is playing this on Sat Nite. A great tribute to Rock n Roll

[IndianaSurfGuitar]

I've watched this video before, but just now noticed the Reverend guitar. Anybody know what model of Reverend?

[bindinglines]

@IndianaSurfGuitar Yeah I thought it was a Reverend, but it is actually a BC Rich Mockingbird and Rick can shreddddddd it good!

[brianmann01]

That is Rick Derringer wearing the same outfit when I saw him with Edgar Winters in 70-something.

[shrededwheat]

Is that Rick born again Derringer.

[otherebob11]

i like very much,would like to know if there is any tab out there for this memphis,bob

[tomnanD3]

This is just TOOOOO COOL!!!!

[wrczk]

Melu Taylor, Bobie Bogle - S.W.P.!

[spacepatrolman]

@wrczk This clip goes back awyts mel taylor was still alive then he died of cancer then his son took overon drums too bad he smoked

[BkkJohn]

Actually, Lonnie Mack's instrumental improv - what they are covering here - is just called "Memphis"

[MelosAntropon]

valuable vid, this. This would have been near the very end of the time that the classic "Ventures Four" (Wilson, Bogle, Edwards, Taylor) were still "the group".

Then, in the summer of '96, Mel Taylor got sick suddenly, and 11 days later, was dead of lung cancer. Even this late, the Ventures were still the tightest rock instrumental group ever. Thanks for posting!

[jt123egypte]

The best cover of Memphis Tennesse is sure by Vince Taylor and the Playboys on Barclay 1964

[DougPatton1]

Ventures Knock Me Out !

[wbooyens]

The Ventures did a whole show with guest artist appearing, does anybody know where to get this show or what it was called?

[WiliamatheMusician]

The full title is Memphis Tennessee. Great song.

[jlbg2008]

Essa é do meu tempo de "bailes de salão". Muito bom, parabens!!! ...

[animal90sFreak5]

Heck yeah,you know it.

[STUDIOCHINCHAN]

This is excellent, super !!!!

Eric - Studio ChinChan

[MidnightMinstrel]

Crikey !! it can't get much better than this can it! Excellent stuff!

[museack]

Just don't make like that anymore, Ventures OR Rick Derringer. Nothing but rap crap out there now.

[Psybot44]

you honestly believe that's true? : / there is plenty out there besides hip hop.

[tokaicarl]

yea dead right mate

[moosey62]

What a fucking honour to play with them!

Brilliant upload, thanks so much!

[Mosri53]

Este video bien podría ser un homenaje a los que se nos adelantaron, Mel Taylor y Bob Bogle, ámbos magníficos músicos que han dejado una huella muy notoria en la música instrumental, ¡Bravo! y un gran aplauso a los que aun quedan..

[stijnisgoed]

Classic rock and roll with Ventures style guitar solos. Great!

[LuneyTune72]

RICK DERRINGER!

[tbirdt47]

I would love to jam with the boys,too.Saw them in Winnipeg recent and showed them my "57 Strat,,,even got the shaggy old case signed.Greatest band ever,,,,Period

[kutzbill]

Kind of funny, I had a 1957 Les Paul (not custom, just Les Paul) sunburst, lefty. Like an idiot I sold it. It's neat that you kept yours, Wish I had

[woogiehead]

That short, ugly guitarist is the great....Rick Derringer! Rock-n-Roll Hoochie Coo!

[Grandam1974]

They were great guitars but Nokie isn't playing a Mosrite. He has always been involved in the design of what he plays, whether it be a Carvin, Hitcher, or the Ventures Model Mosrite.

As far as his energy level, he doesn't have to jump around and grimace. He makes it look easy, and I think it is for him.

[ChuckEMong]

The big guy reminds me of Lonnie Mack in the guitar styling and the whammy bar.

[9988cancer]

The guy on lead guitar shows as much energy as a gnat on a couch. But he sure can belt out some great guitar!!! Those Mosrites must be one hell of a guitar after all!!! 9988cancer

[dmacmurray]

Nokie Edwards never showed much emotion while playing. He just plays and it sounds awesome. He's a throwback to the early days of R&R and Country. He can chicken pick with the best of them. He was my idol when I was a teenager trying to learn those great Ventures licks.

[54spiritedwill54]

good vid

[TURTLE0047]

Great players and what a sound too..Fantastic

IVAN

[naalar]

An old rocker's favorite....to play and to hear.

Someone told me Lonnie Mack was writing about Memphis, INDIANA when he wrote the song....?

Great video here...thanks !

[tbirdt47]

Nope.Chuck Berry wrote Memphis.Lonnie did an impromtu of it instrumentaly and it's been the milestone most pickers strive to get.Not many get it even close.Lonnie is the greatest.His 1st album is as awesome as anything out there.

[Nailgun51]

Looks like Joe Leberman playing.

I think this a good version..

[erixoff]

And also thanx to the great Chuck BERRY for creating the song !

[redandpink21]

this is an awesome performance, LOVE IT

Nokie is my hero!!!!!!!!!

[NirvanaRider186]

i love them...

[divgtrslingr]

its Rick Derringer he is awesome!

[tcb5677]

alot a fun on this song great musicianship what a tight band just excellent the foundation of movin and groovin rock

[srichards01]

It just doesn't get any better than this! They were recently inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame! They deserve it. Nokie Edwards - Lead, Don Wilson - Rhythm, Bob Bogle - Bass, Mel Taylor - Drums. I don't know who the guy with the hair and in red pants is. :-)

[strato46]

The guy that's singing looks a lot like Rick Derringer from the mcoys (hang on Sloopy) and the Edgar Winter group (Frankenstein) If it is, He looks pretty well preserved.

[bbrekabcb]

@strato46 It is him. Amazing how young he was as a pro

[santororock]

good

[r1j2m3r4]

EXCELLENT VIDEO.
