This is the first that I have seen Don solo that I recall. Don doesn't get enough credit sometimes. A Great rhythm player like Don is hard to find these days.
@Rushworshiper92 Absolutely right - it's surprisingly easy to play and is a tune that I love to return to pretty well every time I get out the old echo FX unit ... the lower you can play it, the better. Great stuff. The tune has never dated.
Townwood, I never mentioned you or anyone in my comment. I guess you have a guilty conscious or an ego problem thinking everyone is talking about you.
After 50+ years of playing they still packing the stands. Great guys making great music and making people happy. A few of you out there should give this a thought, how many number 1 recordings have you had?
How did a discussion about music end up in you two badgering each other about your IQ's and history and stuff? This is good music and still is, although the sound quality is bad. This was all done on equipment avaiable in the 60's and 70's. What could they have done with what is available today? It STILL gets people to tapping their feet and that's all that matters.
@townwood You need to get a life, fella. These guys are LEGENDS and it's a privilege to see them perform anywhere. They've earned their dues and just because WE'RE ALL (you too) getting older, is no reason to criticize them.... Didn't your mama teach you about RESPECT???? LEAVE THESE MUSIC HEROS ALONE!!!
@townwood Respect is EARNED.......and these guys have earned it over and over again. As your Mama SHOULD have taught you long ago "If you have nothing good to say about someone.....say NOTHING AT ALL" Someday if you learn to play guitar or drums HALF AS GOOD as these guys, maybe THEN you can criticize.
@townwood You're STILL missing the point Danish....you have no respect for ANYTHING and you REALLY ought to try GROWING UP in all 45 years of your miserable life. Just because you THINK you can play a few chords doesn't make you a guitar player (I play also). And another thing FOUL MOUTHED DANISH......if it were't for US AMERICANS, you'd be speaking GERMAN....if SPEAKING AT ALL!
@townwood Forgiven for being old? No, I'm not "old", but WE'RE ALL GETTING THERE eventually and that's a FACT! These guys are only having fun! People LIKE to see them, so it's a WIN, WIN situation....so WHAT'S wrong with that? My problem with Europeans like you is that you FORGET that the Gemans (and later the Soviets) would have OVERRUN your tiny country if it hadn't been for "Americans like us" who were willing to give OUR LIVES to protect forgetful, UNAPPRECIATIVE loud mouths like you!
@townwood Hitler a "Beaten Man"? Are you NUTS? WHERE did you learn your history, some DANISH preschool cartoon book? What do you know about DUNKIRK? France and the English were PUSHED INTO THE SEA!! WHY did England BORROW OUR MONEY, MACHINERY AND AIRPLANES to fight Hitler?? WHO organized and LED THE D-DAY INVASION...THE DANES?? HA!! And remember, Loud Mouth YOU started the America bashing (reread your fist posting). HELLO??? Your ignorance is amazing!!!!
@CJurasin Just testing you. LOL. So you do have blood circulation in your head!
Then I guess you're not among the 55 % of sick Americans, who still believes that man lived amongst dinosaurs some 4000 years ago? Run like hell. Look towards you own nation, before you slam other countries!
@townwood You keep forgetting... YOU started the "country bashing", not me. And as for your "A Bomb" comment earlier, You obviously weren't taught that we WARNED the Japs several times (BEFORE we dropped that bomb) that we actually had it and would USE IT on them if they refused to give up. Their Emperor refused, so we delivered it to them! He was so STUBBORN that he STILL REFUSED to give up, so we did it again. FINALLY he gave up. Did you also FORGET that THEY STARTED THAT WAR WITH US??
@townwood You keep missing the point.....they are legends, people like to see them, and they enjoy playing for people. It's a WIN WIN situation!!! So what's the big deal......LEAVE THEM ALONE.......WHAT'S IT TO YOU ANYHOW??? YOU ARE NO AUTHORITY TO PASS ANY KIND OF JUDGEMENT!!!
@townwood You also have the "right" to prove to the world that you're an imbecile (not to mention the fact that you're IGNORANT of your own European history)! CONGRATULATIONS on your "ACHIEVEMENT"!!! May the world here read and deeply appreciate your vast knowledge and intelligence! ;-)
@townwood coming from an IGNORANT (of his own history), DANE, your insult is only a reflection on your own stupidity. Dream on Dork and keep wallowing in your own ignorance. When you become HALF AS GOOD as they were (or are) you can talk....but until THEN you are only DREAMING...
@townwood Again you miss the point, Moron.... You PROVED your ignorance by your "Hitler was beaten" comment AND YOU ACTUALLY LIVE OVER THERE!!! DUH!!! Your limited "knowledge" of History was demonstrated to everyone who reads your feeble words. You have NOTHING more to say because you've ALREADY PROVED YOUR IGNORANCE!! How can I take insult from a complete imbecile??? GROW UP AND FIND SOMEONE OF YOUR LIMITED IQ LEVEL TO TAUNT...... JERK!!!
@townwood What is it with you Danish heathenistic pagans anyway? You wallow in your own ignorance but are more than willing to try to share it with anyone with the same low IQ who is stupid enough to listen to you!! I'm done wasting my time on an idiot.....you just aren't worth it. Go find someone of your own base character and low status and "dazzle" them with your attempt at intelligent conversation...! Danish Dork!!! I'm done with you........ Bye!
Though every other statement was true, to say that they started that war with us is a little off base. Considered we provoked the fuck out of Japan so that we could have any excuse to no longer remain neutral.
@supercoolreiber Provocation? They had buying much of our scrap steel for YEARS before the war (to prepare for it) and we couldn't figure out why (until the war started). Their Ambassadors were in DC "talking peace" (stalling) all the while they were PREPARING for war.

We were caught TOTALLY unprepared for their SNEAK attack.
The great rock band in heaven has been graced with Mel Taylor and recently with Bob Bogle, the Ventures changed my life for the better, God bless them all.

@Durkie52 What can I say? Some guys take criticism very personal (like CJurasin)
I myself use it constructive, unless I'm talking to a fat head idiot.
My only point was that Don Wilson can't play the lead guitar.
Ask any professional, and they will agree.
I'm a huge fan of The Ventures of the 60' and 70'
Check out "DayFever" tribute to The Ventures, and you'll understand my point.

They are all too old to perform, and should have retired long ago.
