RIP Don Wilson (February 12, 1933-January 22, 2022), The Ventures´ rhythm guitar player. You will surely will be missed, as well as the members of the classic line up of The Ventures who have passed away. The Ventures is the best instrumental Rock group and my favourite too.

Nokie Edwards as multi talented as he is has got to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time, and Mel Taylor a timeless drummer as well. The Ventures are great musicians, although covering many songs, they are original having their distinct sound.

Without the Ventures there is no guitar driven rock & roll.

What a great gift to fans of instrumental rock and roll. Absolutely love these guys.

3.08 Nokie is SHREDDING!!!. That guitar tone on Caravan is pure awesome

凄い！ おじいちゃんは、 これをリアルタイムで観ていたんだね！ おじいちゃんがいつも車の中で ベンチャーズ聴いてたから 忘れられなくなっちゃった。

Outstanding performance. Love those guys. My inspiration to play guitar. R.I.P. Bob and Mel.

初めて聴いたのが小学校5年生、電気が走り、いまだにモズライトエレキ弾いてます‼️🎶

The Ventures stand at the top of the pile of great instrumental/surf bands.They did so many great tunes of their own as well as improved cover versions of others songs.

so clean! dancable music... and no singing to bother my head with... pure music

Legends! Nothing more can be said.

Now this is the classic Mosrite driven Ventures we know and love.

can't stop listening to this! SO AWESOME =D

キャラバンは名曲中の名曲でしょう。途中で「恋ダンス」も出てきて楽しめますね。

This is the INSTRUMENTAL "A" TEAM! Nokie and Don - Keep on rockin' Bob and Mel - Rest in peace. You guys were THE BEST!

The dancers - incredible. So totally unpretentious. It's really refreshing!

Mosrite neck was so perfect you only had to touch string for it to contact fret instead of pressing and made it so easy to play. Couldn't duplicate that feel on my Jazzmaster no matter how I adjusted it. Mosrites from that period go for about 10 times what they sold for if you can find one.Ventures got a lot of people playing guitar with their "how to play guitar" courses.I love how they just bang away on songs without all the facial expressions and jumping around like today.True professionals.

Sounds really nice. These both tunes.

演奏だけでこれだけ楽しいのはさすがです。ビートルズの前ですね。私の生まれた頃は白黒だった。いいね。京都の恋は最高ですよ。

Nokie Edwards makes it look so easy, wish I could play 1/2 as good as he could.

Totally agree about the Mosrite - absolutely THE easiest-playing guitar ever made. Amazing really.

if anyone thinks this is simple, put the record on and try to play along. unlike metal where the guitar is distorted and covered up with effects, there is no where to hide playing clean. if you blank out for a second there is no feedback or sustain to cover for you.. you have to think 5 notes ahead... I have played guitar for 30 years, and am still amazed at how tight the ventures were. the whole band is spot on. The mix is tight. no one plays over each other. they had their shti together,

The Ventures rockin' "Caravan"! Awesome!

Back in time watching at this was mind blowing, thinking to play like that... but nowadays still awesome, I think that some day my grandchildren will see Necrophagist and think the same...

Along with their great music,they had some of the hottest women on their album covers, my mom really did not like the Golden Greats album pictures. When you open the album you get a bikini centerfold. The Ventures music and the album covers were a great help when I was youngster back in the 60's.

Coupling of Diamond Head & Caravan It is best. (ダイアモンドヘッド＆キャラバンのカップリングは最高ですね。)

日本で人気の2曲！本国アメリカでのTVショウで演奏するのは大変貴重。『キャラヴァン』のドラムソロの時、女性ダンサーが踊るのは日本には無い感覚で、新鮮だね👍 パール・ホワイトのモズライトもかっこいい！

God, I love the bass riff on Diamond Head...

"Hey guys? What shall we do as a stage act?" "I know, lets GRIN!" "Yep... that should do it! " ;-) Great stuff, a legendary band...

第一次聽就愛上了！😍😍😍

やっぱりこのメンバーでモズライトで白黒の映像ってとこがいいね

Mel Taylor is one of the greatest drummerboys the world have seen!

Excelente, son nuestros mentores. Sencillamente bestial.

You just gotta love a band that plays 3 Mosrites

懐かしくて涙が出そう😢

sin duda alguna el mejor grupo instrumental de la historia ...sus temas son clasicos de clasicos e influenciaron en muchos musicos

Whoa, surf Caravan! Dig those Mosrite guitars!

Love those slick finger scrapes on the guitar with the super wet reverb

輕鬆輕柔的音色good

nice, the actually live version

Thanks. ベンチャーズと言えば、エレキギターで、テケ、テケ、テケ、テー とやるやつでしたね。 一時、大変なブームになりました。

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAV,S

Best Song Ever

The best! the drummer reminds me of Gene Krupa's playing.

Mel and Bob (RIP)

Yes Don we love you too

caravan is amazing

Amo esta banda

ダイヤモンドヘッドのアレンジが良い！

Great video - thanks for the upload!

"Caravan" was written by Duke Ellington.

Tiếng là hét của khán giả nghe thật phấn khích ! Chơi vậy mới chơi , bội phục

キャラバンたまらん

holy god these guys are awesome

おお〰〰❗この頃のノーキーのテクニックは素晴らしい❗❗❗

Kochikame❤️❤️❤️

早く夏休みなって欲しいベンチャーズ最高

RIP Don.

they really enjoy the very process of playing

😮びっくり最高🎉

esto es muy bueno!!

Mel Taylor on drums. He was the greatest.

あーやっぱり夏が来たー

Jesus, Mel!! Playing the drums-on-bass thing AND hittin the drums at the same time! Baruch Hashem for Mel Taylor!!

カッコいいですね✨

Nice to see Nokie with a natural smile...doesn't happen very often.

ERAN BUENÍSIMOS....ESTE TEMA ES UN REFLEJO DE ELLO.

Sounds really good drivin around in a magic go-cart wearin a Sears poncho.

Dam they are good !!!!

GODS OF GUITAR

Those are the famous Mosrite guitars.

@FenrirLupus I agree. Sold the Jazzmaster about 12 years ago for almost twice what I paid for it simply because it was built before CBS bought out Fender.

Quel embrouilleur !!

I WANT have one!! mosrite rocks! The Ventures :) Jhonny Ramone :D

The best!!

As a Russian guy correctly pointed out 3 years back, the lead guitarist resembles Major Yuri Gagarin of the Red Air Force.

Super!!!

M-I-T-I-C-I-

from this music they got that kochikame song

Playin' my Mosrite!! Actually it belonged to my deceased bro.....It plays great!!

@lesvance01 My 1st amp was a Magnavox Console tube stereo through auxiliary plug. Then a big Silvertone and finally a transistor Vox Buckingham. The Vox would override once you pushed it and wound up plugging it into Silvertone and splitting into both speaker cabinets. I didn't know back then to bypass overrides. Memories, right?

@videogeekin thanks, didn't kno that. I remember when I was bout 11 or 12 everyone tryin' to learn "wipeout " on guitar and drums..

exactly right

これを聴いて懐かしいと思う日本人とアメリカ人、どっちが多いと思う？ オレは日本人のほうが多いんじゃないかと思う。

HAPPY

All that and a tube of Score Hair cream. I used to use that stuff. It held like a champ...albeit a greasy champ.

old reverb tanks that fender used to make (still do in reissue) . You cannot get that sound without a tube reverb tank. The brown face 62 Showman helps too.

I like the Mosrites. They give the ventures a real twanggy sound.

Ah, the wonderful sound of a Mosrite Ventures' Model guitar. I have a 66' bass in three color sunburst. Great playing guitars. I have a video of me playing the Mosrite on my page.

I had just turned 12 puberty and great time were soon to follow

♫ Happy b'Earthday Mel !

lol I like how they dance haha

They used to be the Ventures, now they're the Dentures.

私の意見では、音楽グループTHE VENTURESのすべてのメンバーは、音楽、ギター、愛情と共感的な行動のすべてのマスターであり、特に日本では世界中のファンを魅了しています。 イタリアからのお祝いと挨拶。 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbOBmcR0293SZYk.html * THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKIN' * (Nancy Sinatra / The Ventures - Guitar version)

A band that launched a thousand band. No, I did not say that

@emerpus01 thanks for the update!

Score hair cream XD

OMG! I used to USE Score® - clear hair cream! I used it on my "Flat top with Fenders" haricut back in the early sixties. Anybody remember THAT style? LMOAO !

Wow.

Very good
