[mozaico0]

piquense el culo todos, mientras escucho esta perrona canción.... bola de putos

[sgtdrumsolo]

i'm pretty sure they played satisfaction by the rolling stones at 1:01

[MichaelDinaswirled]

LOVE it, sirpeter 1946, I appreciate it - i just fell over for the Ventures at 47 at the saddest moment in my life. Thanks keep it up!

[gloyahoo]

These guys are FANTASTIC ~ ************stars

[1776Rosco]

Man, I just can't get enough!! Reminds me of driving in my hotrod as a teenager. :-)

[wrczk]

Bobie Bogle, SWP!

[ventues97]

gotta love the ventures..seen them live 3 times!!!

[fabrosin]

The more `Japanese mind' in the `American guitar' tycoons hearts...!!

[JaneGardina53]

Super...what fun!?!  Fantastic performance.

[linu0015]

hah cool

[bladesofthunder]

that bassist strumming is sorta outta place

[dadangdota]

where should it be in place then?

[ledfingers1]

He does start off a bit cold and slightly off, but after a bit he drops into the pocket...he's picking and strummin on a ventures reissue jazz bass with a percussive rythmic surf bass style teh Ventures helped create. After the first bit his playing is spot on...

[redmoka]

A great music group~always

[ejnarm3]

I at one time had every Ventures album but alas they were stolen pissed me off big time.

[ABOSS302]

Still have my 30 plus Venture albums, some in HiFi and then Stereo when I made up one. Mounted a 20 inch theater speaker to my bed frame slats to feel Pipeline. Love them bed shaking numbers.

[chibi46]

I got you beat I have 140 plus LP of The Ventures

[ABOSS302]

Are they all 33's?

[chibi46]

yes they are 33 1/3 RPM Lp's also another 40 of 45 RPM and EP together

[ABOSS302]

Great! Just read the Mosrite/factory story which was not far from where I grew up out in the California desert. Carry on.

[RushmoreGerleve]

I was born in 1949 and I played in R&R band and cut sevreal albums, backed up national acts. The FIRST song I ever learned to play was WALK DON"T RUN and I love that song as much as I did in 1960! Max Rushmore

[Cldfsn0200]

as a guitar player who was born in the 60's I have to say I somehow overlooked these guys even though I heard these songs from time to time on the radio etc. It was cool to watch a bunch of songs of theirs here in the new millinia FINALLY! and find out who they were and realize those songs I always heard but never knew the musicians.

[Grand541]

The Rhythm Guitarist seems very heavy handed.

[srichards01]

The Rhythm Guitarist is Don Wilson and he and the bassist Bob Bogle started The Ventures. His so-called heavy hand is part of their famous "Driving Guitar" sound which he and Bob created.

[Grand541]

Now that is a civil response. You really must try harder to answer like this in future. Thank you Dave!

[srichards01]

I have actually read all of the threads on all of The Ventures posts. I found the ones from "davelidia" and you should listen to him. He was (is) correct in so many ways. Apparently you two are much older than I.

[Grand541]

I think your comments are valid as The Shadows front man Hank Marvin seems to be an entity of his own and seems to be 'the face' of The Shadows. Bruce Welch and Brian Bennett, everybit as good are really in the shadows (pardon the pun)

[Grand541]

Sounds good.

[Grand541]

Thanks for the reply. To give a balanced view on the Ventures they have a very strong(if not over bearing) rhythm guitarist. This contrasts with Bruce Welch of the Shadows who is famed for his 'economic' use of rhythm. Saying that, I was impressed by Bruce's enhanced style in their 'Final Tour' 2004 DVD.

[Grand541]

Can't keep pace with just who is Lead Guitar in this band. Different face each time I view 'The Ventures'.

[emerpus01]

It's the same group that has been playing together since the early 60s (or late 60s in Gerry McGee's case). In this video it's Bob Bogle on Bass and Gerry on lead. Nokie Edwards is their original lead... well actually Bob Bogle was, but he switched to bass... and Nokie and Gerry both play bass sometimes and Bob still plays lead on some... and then there's Bob Spalding, who tours with them playing bass and occasional lead... ok I can see how you're confused.

[Grand541]

There must be conflict in the group as to who plays lead

[emerpus01]

From everything I've heard about the band, they've managed to stay together by putting egos aside, so there's no conflict. They just have several members that can play lead and bass. Don Wilson is an excellent rhythm gutarist with a frantic, sometimes ska influenced style. In Japan he is known as "Teketeke-san" for his trademark style.

[simonj9051]

thank you sooooo much for posting this, I listened to the ventures in my dads record collection and loved them (when I was ten years old)I`m now 40, and they`re still Brilliant!!

[mosrite60]

I listened to the Ventures in high school, during college, during my career,and now in retirement! I must pinch myself if this is REAL!

[naderchaser]

I'm 52, and I remember my first band (The Rejects) cutting our teeth on all the Ventures hits. I've never seen any recent video of them. What a joy! And damn if those old pros sound fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing!

[visor109]

The Ventures still ROCK! Great guys!

[enjeksiyoncu]

very very good music turkish fan cem

[caesque]

Looks great....thank you for sharing this rare video.

[mlkemper]

i know NOKIE ....he is prodigy...genius ..innovator ....you name it he can play it ...very very underated ..can play like CHET ATKINS AND JERRY REED IF HE WANTS TO ...I'VE SET NEXT TO HIM AND WATCHED HIM ..this is simple stuff ...never looks at the fretboard when he plays ...gerry is good but i think NOKIE never has shown how much he does know ..very humble man ...

[J05L03R46]

Aprendi mucho con este grupo, soy de su epoca!!!

[samhof]

I have been lisitening to their music all my life and this is the first time watch them performing....of course thru YouTube. Gives me goose pimples...really great, will definitely run the clip again. Thanks for sharing !

[sirpeter1946]

[sissyhana]

@sirpeter1946 I did subscribe. The

shadows are cool

[realadvisor]

great to see them again. I thought they had retired

[masterkershaw]

lol so corny but still good

[sirpeter1946]

look at my comment,i had to shrink it from <200mb into slim 38mb no wonder the brilliance was gone,but i hope ,that u still like rare videos

[masterkershaw]

man i didnt mean the video quality i ment that for a guy my age that music is good but its 'corny' ie its not "cool" in a sense

[kynyrdskynyrd]

Fantastic stuff! Wish they still played Moserite but their tone is killer.Thanks

[bruiser]

The original Ventures were Bob Bogle and Don Wilson. Howie Johnson (drums), and Nokie Edwards (bass) were added later. Howie Johnson had a car wreck and had to quit the group. Bob and Nokie began swapping lead and bass guitar duties. Nokie left in the late sixties, and Gerry McGee replaced him. Nokie and Gerry tend to take turns playing in the group.

[emerpus01]

a-freakin-mazing! AND I get to hear Don sing Runaway!

[jdunn73]

wow. this is great. thank you for posting.

[heizoutakenaka]

It forgets and .. The person who performed the base last year changed.

[heizoutakenaka]

They perform in Japan every year. The player doesn't have the change either.

[sandyb49]

I had no idea the Ventures were still playing. They were the first band I ever really enjoyed. It's great to see the 3 original guitar players. They are still the greatest!!!

[lks88]

It's so wonderful, things with value that money cannot buy, a must for people who know how to appreciate good things. Thanks a lot!

[sirpeter1946]
