Pipeline by the Chantays

Orange County surf music legends The Chantays (Santa Ana High School) perform their classic surf hit "Pipeline" at the recent Sunday afternoon concert at the International Surfing Museum in Huntington Beach, CA. This song is listed in the top five surf hits of all time, no matter what survey/chart you're looking on. The group included two of the original Chantays (Bob Spickard on guitar and Bob Welch on drums) along with 40+year Chantays guitarist Gil Orr. They were joined by surf music legends Kerry Chester (Dick Dale and the Del-Tones) on keyboards and John Denton (The Lively Ones) on bass. This is an unedited version of their performance on Sunday, 9/20/09.

Hey BigGuy, thx for the post. In case you didn't get a chance to maybe look at some of the other bands that day (they're on my channel at tompotts0615, I'll give you a quick explanation for the drummer in front of the bands. There was a "surf drummer" showcase that day, which at times featured multiple drummers (including a "drum battle" with father / son drummers,Tracy & Matt Longstreth). I happened to be there that day to video my friend,Tracy,and ended up shooting most of the day.
