Mel Taylor, Bob Bogle, Don Wilson and Jerry McGee...NO NOKIE-SAN!! GREAT RENDITION OF JYU BAN GAI NO SATSUJIN

simply the best version of this classic song

Seen several Ventures clips of Slaughter on 10th Ave, this one was supreme. The lead guitar really added some smooth filler licks w/o clutter. The entire band was tight as ever. Miss you guys.

Nokie and McGee have different taste/style of guitar sound, but both have the same spirit of being a part of Ventures loving Japan. Particularily saying, both Nokie and McGee have composed a lot of hit songs for singers in Japan, and people in my parents generation (born in around 1940-1950) are still loving the old time where Ventures songs were heard everywhere in Japan.

Jerry Mcgee. You look smart that time I adore you as well as Nokie Edward , you have done your best on stage even your last minute of life .

the boys were still playing well back then. RIP to all the original Ventures.

There must be 5,000 videos of this song and I’ve never seen a bad one.
