The Ventures - Walk Don't Run

[fiftieslover]

what guitar is that?

[ASBOMAN]

seriously, i know everyone has their own opinions, but how can anyone dislike this song? it's a perfect instrumental piece. i love it

[coolmega33]

@ASBOMAN yeah I don't understand it either, there's no lyrics nothing controversial about this, I guess the only reason is maybe they just don't like the sound of guitars bass and drums. hearing 60s tunes like this always makes me a wee bit happier

[avelpa1]

the guy on drums looks like Howard from the Big Bang Theory.

[QeeZQn]

No country for old men killer on drums

[darthfrodo44]

@QeeZQn FOR SURE! I THOUGHT THAT TOO

[VIRIATO1942]

They were the very best of its kind in the early 60's. I can only compare to them the British group THE SHADOWS.

[TheJazzeater]

al pacino on drums

[jamesedwardtheobald]

sounds too smooth to be a live recording. are they lip syncing? er, without lips... i usually don't bag on dislikers, but really? how can anybody dislike something like this? pop essence of guitar simplicity right here folks...

[superbever9000]

what year is this from? saw the 1960 recording. People change....

[superzonic123]

Buena música!!!! 

[antelopezrunner]

SO SEXY COOL!!! ;)

[lunchmind]

man, I tell ya. Even after the greatness of the Beatles, Frank Zappa,Jimi Hendrix, the Jefferson Airplane ,Crosby ,Stills Nash and Young and Sublime among others favorites of mine ,the Ventures still stir the blood.

[jellyphisher]

That's a fine tooled leather guitar strap. The kind my dad used to make. Great video, thanks!

[Frostylyxxx]

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

I never knew NASCAR legend "The King" Richard Petty played lead guitar for The Ventures!

[Alikah1]

@TIMOTHYSAARINEN Looks more like a Mexican to me!

[ASBOMAN]

I love how the bassist and the rhythm guitar guys are totally getting in to the song and bouncing about, but the lead guitar dude is just too cool to move cause he knows he's awesome

[munroe1416]

Luke Skywalker on drums, Charles Bronson on Lead Guitar, Bill Clinton on Bass and Steve McGranahan: World's Strongest Redneck on Rhythm Guitar.

[MrTheoriginalderek]

@ThePotatoInfestation Hahaha, I was thinkin the same thing, at the very beginning I thought of Scott Bakula on drums

[araenae]

[mrshnarfles]

[gitarkin]

I love how everybody is working their ass off and the lead guitarist looks like he could smoke a cigarette while playing. He makes it look so easy.

[WholeGrainPanda]

does the guy playing chords have a fender jaguar?

[LzrdKng9000]

@WholeGrainPanda it's actually a Fender Jazzmaster

[kyuss]

[JayDR69138]

@kyuss haha... no me too!

[renegade2355]

@kyuss No you are not the only one that's not getting High. I loved the Ventures especially Wipe Out.

[childofthe70s2]

These guys ROCK!

[caddyrecord]

the guy in the cowboy hat looks alitle like burt reynolds

[ChablesMan]

@caddyrecord I was thinking Richard Petty, myself.

[lillyput13]

@caddyrecord No self respecting Cowboy would be seen Dead in that hat

[mecklenburgd]

@lillyput13 I think he's Mexican. Mexicans can and will wear any hat... and look good in it.

[MrNiclas1998]

they make me smile.

[ongypma88]

It's just such a pleasure to listen to the Ventures the way they handle every song in their unique way it's awesome.. I've listened to them since 1964 when I was 10 years old, I own most of their records and now CDs...Its just too bad that Bob And Mel are gone.. We miss them..

[bplayer47]

Does anyone know what kind of guitar the gentleman wearing the cowboy hat is playing?? I noticed a b bender on it

[6547811]

i guess 15 people don't know what great music is,The Ventures rock!!!

[Alex2k2ba]

[21YYZ12Rush]

This was on club penguin... :P

[stevking97]

its so awesome nice

[comsetup]

they look so happy!i wanna be like that!

[sniperin223]

So when did Richard Petty put on weight and learn to play lead guitar?

Obviously there's more to that man than most of us realized!!!

[marvar1]

They look happy, because they don't have to put up with a lead singer!

[craziesthorse]

@marvar1 LOL! so freaking true

[tikitortured]

@marvar1 That's hilarious...and SO true! One of the reasons I love surf music.

[nizarshivji]

@tikitortured If you like surf music, then you will love this clip presently used in the Heineken Ad (The Date). The sound is like that of The Ventures with vocals plus horns composed around the same time frame (1965). watch?v=XnBbjc5hmho

[maxwelld1961]

@marvar1 LMAO so true

[lookingatcrap]

@marvar1 Funnest comment I've read in a long time

[flgal88]

Mel Taylor was an absolute beast on the drums.....RIP Mel... and thanks for giving us this music that will never be duplicated

[brianjacobi]

Great Stuff.

So many thanks for posting.

Brian Jacobi.

[BGizmee]

Always loved the "drum solo" ,,,,so cool after all these years.

[iluvcoldplay52]

I was so born in the wrong era!:(



[poopoohead10]

lead guitarist looks like charles bronson

[balisticpenguin]

@poopoohead10 HAHA !

[jmpaustralie]

excellent ................

[flgal88]

effortless genius....Ventures forever

[ownyourcarmaster]

I saw these guys live in Orlando, and was given an actual pick used by Don Wilson. It hangs on my wall now. He can still play!

[BTBHSOHBOY]

When is this video from? What year?

[seaside882000]

btw-this is a unique video in that, usually if not always, with this line and during this particular song bob bogle always played the lead. He was the original lead guitar player that recorded the classic version. However, Nokie takes the lead. Very cool. Always loved bogle playing Walk don't run and perfidia, however.

[seaside882000]

don wilson had/has the greatest right arm in rock. Not really a lead player at all but a great rhythm guy. I wish I could find a guy like him to start a band with.

[flgal88]

@seaside882000 there isn't anyone around who now who can hold a candle to the Ventures....Don Wilson is brilliant....and so is Nokie......Mel and Bob....RIP to both of you.....being able to watch them on youtube is the greatest gift for someone who enjoys R&R....

[byrusmx]

This is the best version of "Walk don't run" I've listened... Does anybody know where can i get it?

[rnoble0812]

another classical boogie-----wow

[qBioniXp]

introvert extrovert doesn't matter

woo!

[DaveWollenberg]

Did the Ventures ever record ANY vocals? Please let me know. God bless ya, for your efforts? They hit #2 in Billboard, 8-29-60. Thanx for postin' it!

[surlygirlie0321]

This was one of the first "45s" I had, and Apache.

[flgal88]

Nokie.....you are the best......Ventures forever!!

[hugopivaral]

Me parece un arreglo excelente!

[hugopivaral]

[brotinbanerjee]

[electricshockproof]

[visor109]

[diva1958dor]

When I hear this - I'm transported back to the 60's..

[TheAdrean37]

the old version of the beatles ^_^

[60s4everdude]

The drummer looks like paul mccartney from the front and like dustin hoffman from the side!!

[victordaniel]

The drummer reminds me to Mr. Spock!



[grammpaa]

Surf's up!

[wildcowgirl77]

vinyl.



[telecastor69]

a hell of a band and a hell of a song

[TecZero1000]

the best band in the world, they influenced everyone from the beatles to i think hendrix to the who

[EH1207STAR]

どのレコーディング探してもこれ以上の出来のものはない！？



[gretschsounds]

Nokie has gobs of tone.

[SRVMOE]

Nokie looks like Dickie  Betts !

[kaedshak]

[xXRoMpEcAmInOsXx]

Thumbs up for lemmy kilmister surfer mode

[TheArkDoc]

Love this song, reminds me of my childhood. Mom and Dad loved the Ventures and I grew up on this stuff.

[fretoo98]

I like the cowboy xD

[Rich55Williams]

happiest lookin' band on earth? i think so

[flgal88]

@Rich55Williams .....not only the happiest....the best.......they will never be duplicated

[jcghooker]

@Rich55Williams because they're instrumentalists. theres no vocalist whining about how miserable he is...like most pop music you hear today

[loufalce]

@jcghooker ...You mean like lady Gaga, right?

[jcghooker]

@loufalce Yeah, but just about everybody else, too. That's why I like the old stuff, and instrumentals like this!

[Rabidburt]

Very simple playing, by today's standards. But the sound holds up so well.  . .gotta be a lesson in there somewhere. . .

[MrTheoriginalderek]

Leroy: "Mick, this is serious shit you're talking about! DEA, international drug rings, this is all hazardous to your health!" Mick: "Yeah but, well think of what it'll do to your reputation." Leroy: "Oh yeah, yeah...Leroy Brown...the baddest man in the whole damn cemetery!!"

[1954SCOTTIE]

Is there any thing with Don Wilson playing lead?

[Necroman666]

I've been roaming around this surf music and it's so relaxing...

[philipatoz]

A huge part of The Venture's magic was not just the great tunes and catchy riffs, it was also that their stripped-down, minimally produced sound allowed the great natural textures of the instruments and amps to tell the story. So much music is over-produced into a sickening glaze that the natural sonic nuances and individual textures of the instruments are virtually lost. LESS is MORE, when it comes to recording and producing good music!

[Yorkvomork]

@philipatoz

*IRONY ON* Yeah! but then we would have to learn to play instruments! *IRONY OFF*

I agree totally to you!

The Ventures rule! I love the music it puts a smile in my face everytime i listen to it.

[cgwry7]

Yeah chooch it :~)

[SciFiBMovieGuy]

I really love how Keith Moon plays the drums in this video.

[401JamesMr]

@SciFiBMovieGuy its mel taylor

[SciFiBMovieGuy]

@401JamesMr I know. I was being silly, and wondering how many would catch it. But I failed, embarrassingly. :-)

[elefantasmasmatico]

Nokie is smiling! The Best Ventures.
