Lov. VENTURES.

[wbonesrus]

they still set the bar, for guitar, music love the band

[MrJ20tower]

Still great!!!

[lancerambert]

The Ventures are pretty cool but I still prefer Slayer live...

[555oceanic]

@lancerambert Sorry I d'nt agree with you

[SkidRowJosephine]

Elderly rest home entertainment.

[pionkome]

Nokie, what was he doing?

[getardon]

Sorry, but for this is song Moserites stink.. For Space and Surf music the Moserites sound good. The original Walk Don't Run with the original Venture was performed using Fender Jazzmater and Strats and I believe their a Gibson is shown on the album. It is much better sounding than this version If you don't believe me go find the original recording form the 60's. Even thought the recording studio quality was not as good the Guitar tone is incredible even magical to this day.

[warialdasue]

theyv'e still got it ..

[glen6945]

these are true and i know you taught a lot of people how to play the guitar =love

[antelopezrunner]

The Ventures still playing strong and remaining very HOT!!! in 2010. Totally in love with Nokie ... Sexy!!! :D

[Cuz0fy0u]

Very good =]]z



[cinemaxzyk]

Very good show show

[galaxybeing101]

might be the first time the Ventures had a beautiful girl in the band. they use to be surrounded by dancers in the 60,s, but no girls in the band.

[rhino004]

Loren Green and Huckabee....what a great group!

[lookingatcrap]

On fox news? barf!!!!!!! They are still great in my book

[ERIMATT]

NOKIE NEVER GETS EXCITED DOES HE???LOL

[dginzbourg]

hd my ass

[greeneups]

yeah yeah yeah!!

[MelosAntropon]

Yes, playing lead on this one is Bob Spaulding. Nokie - who still plays great - is"easing back" on this one to spotlight Spaulding. I'm surprised that no one mentioned the "suit" playing bass - that is politico Mike Huckabee!

[sailorstarfighter131]

Bogle died in 2009

[sailorstarfighter131]

The other guitarist is Bob Spaulding who replaced Bob Bogle

[sailorstarfighter131]

Nokie is on the far left

[jdean0001]

Where's Nokie Edwards? That's not him playing lead and I don't recognize who that is?

[DRNO1978]

Roger Daltrey on drums ???

kkkkkk

[daveandy1]

@DRNO1978 Leon Taylor on drums. Son of longtime Ventures drummer Mel Taylor.

[theycallmethebass]

they are great, but far better then the beatles? i dont think so

[Fireblaze15]

@theycallmethebass Depeche Mode is better than both of of those.

[ArnosGrover]

@theycallmethebass

Are they of the same genre? Of course not, so you cannot compare the two.

[hnlchan]

Great Band, great music! Thanks for sharing!

[mlkemper]

The Mosrite guitar was doing great until some butt hole at the factory onno. highland in l.a. stole the blueprints and sold them to some one in Japan that made ''knockoffs'' of them ..this is a very touchy subject with Don Wilson and they did the right thing and paid back the money they owed and closed shop ..the real disaster came when Semie Mosely turned down a multimillion dollar deal with Liberty Records to produce the guitar on a massive scale [remember this was the 60's]..and lost it all

[richard42960]

Great stuff, but it ain't the same without Bob

bogle

[bst8035]

@richard42960 Absolutely! They are two different persons and have different styles.

[whataname01]

Wow! they still got it... great ;-)

[RossM3838]

Nokie still plays great and Mosrites rule!

[leelibby44]

@RossM3838 Check closely. I think those are Wilson Brothers guitars. They haven't played Mosrites in years

[RossM3838]

@leelibby44 they are indeed but are modeled on the original Mosrite and maintain the Mosrite sound.

[leelibby44]

@RossM3838 - This is true. I saw The Ventures this past Saturday and had them autograph my circa-1965 Mosrite Ventures Mark V: a real honor after listening to them for 50 years.

[RossM3838]

@leelibby44 that is cool. A real treasure.

[leelibby44]

@RossM3838 Yeah, it is. I'd show you a photo but there's no way to do it on YouTube......at least I don't know how to do it.

[tawaraboshi]

From Japan:

I have been a fan of The Ventures, which is very common here in Japan. Times may change, but there is no denying that for 50 years , they have entertained so many people both in US and in Japan.  They are great, far better than The Beatles.

[kronlof2]

To think they are going to play the Snoqualmie casino, one of the best sound systems around for only 25,.00!!~

[cachinksink]

@kronlof2  When?

Great to see them still at it.Bob Spalding doing a great job filling in for his good freind/ mentor,the late Bob Bogle. How lucky are we to still have this band with us! They are AMERICAN ICONS!!
