The Ventures, the best and greatest world Music group !!!!

Pure music, and one of the best drummers of all time.

Absolutely wonderful! This is real talent. Such a tight sound :)

TRUE musicianship!!!!

Those guitars are surprisingly cranked. Another surprise is when you notice the full-on, hard rock blare of 'Secret Agent Man.' Must've sounded wicked live.

love those old fender bandmaster amps, what a cool looking setup!

Great sounds

Nokie Edwards is the son of Elbert and Nannie, a Native American Cherokee. Like Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, bon Jovi, Chuck Berry and a million others, rock and roll is Cherokee music

Yeeeeeea!!! Greets from Budapest! DJ D-Joint Tilos Radio Budapest 90.3fm

Guitar gods in the truest sense of the word.

those who doesnt like this music they are not humans

Learned to play the guitar listening to Ventures records, later used the Mosrite Bass in a band in which I played, later went to a Fender Jazz. The Ventures were very much a part of my youth. Greatest guitar band of all time (with no disrespect to Dick Dale)

I remember when my brother's band manager was getting them all Mosrite Venture model Guitars when they were made in Bakersfield. I loved the Double Neck when I saw the Ventures using it.

What a great version

Musicianship at its' finest....

quite awesome-if i am not careful,i could become obsessed with these guys ;-)

i love them!!

Your welcome old chap, you might like the song Apache by the shadows as well, it uses the similar pot settings, its a neat sound isn't, it really cuts through the rhythm section.which is probably why they used it given the state of mixing consoles back then. The ventures also did a cover of Telstar which is a cute one and Wedding Cake Island, by midnight oil is another hit spoofing the era and using those settings you might like. Back in the days when u had to register ya surfboard like a car !

いろいろな意味でこの日本公演の頃のベンチャーズが最盛期 だと思う 残された映像が永久保存に値する

i love this song:)

nice performance

The switch to Mosrite was ill advised.

theyre really good

reminds me of staring the crawler/transporters at the Kennedy Space center with air starters and closing the main breakers after they got to 60hz

wow this stuff is amazing!

Actually, they're mosrite ventures mkI guitars. The hi-flyer was based on them. Both great guitars :)

awesome

Its the typical sound of a fender Stratocaster with single pole pick ups, on the bridge pick up setting through a valve amplifier. It typifies the era. Be well.

I finally found out what guitar Noakie and Don are playing: they're 1961 Mosrites

the sound of cool

オリジナルメンバーはいいね😂😂

The Ventures play Mosright guitars EXCLUSIVELY!!!

@gretschreenactor In this video, they are all using the Mosrite Ventures Model guitar.

Quite right but for some reason not exclusively. I grew up with them and am a player myself and for some reason they used to swap around even before 68, as i was fanatically always trying to imitate them as a kid. Probably because Leo Fender started the same year and was always pro active in pilfering Mosrite acts. Mosrites were twice the price of a Fender and had a better Vibrato mechanism. But other than that they are pretty much the same sound with the single pole non humbucking pick ups.

Way ahead of their time.

I think I prefer the recorded version but is Nokie not the coolest dude on the planet? When I play their stuff in my bedroom i have to concentrate but he looks like he's thinking what he's going to have for his tea! Does he ever look at the fretboard? Caught some of his later stuff on YT and he is a fabulous player.

PHEW!!!!!! how cool was THAT?!?!?!

Omg. They're all using Univox Hi-Flyers! Yes!

When I first heard this song, I thought it was a '50s song.

and that is all that matters!

i like jfa's cover

I want to watch this in HD on my tv. is this available on DVD or BLUE RAY? I need this :)

Best comment on the internet!

'60 version rules but WMG & EMI put an end to that.

when compared to the '59 version, I can only assume these guys picked up a whitecross habit heheh

the very first drummer.. Yes... He only recorded the original Walk Don't Run with them in 1960 because he couldn't go with them on their gigs coz he was under 18 then so he couldn't go to bars or something..

@dvs1572 More like mid-wave surf music. Great stuff too.

ベンチャーズはノーキーさん抜きでは語れない🎸

what guitar is the guy using in the middle

I wonder if it is true that the drummer later became a General in the Air Force?

its called reverb

@gbc77000 i have to disagree. I love that big twangy sound of the mosrites, especially for this music. The switch away from Mosrite weakened the sound to my ears at least.

no...he...is'nt.

Woops...still...deaf

what did the comment say? because, it's no longer with us ,OnO,

Paul...is...dead...

anyone has a mosrite for sale??? ha, ha I wish

They're all playing Mosrite guitars. Promotional deal perhaps?

@smars821 wtf

What a collection of over-rated, over-hyped mediocre guitar players! Simple minded, repetitive crap! Which is exactly what the market loved back then! Notice how quickly the Ventures and other 'instrumental' groups disappeared when the British Invasion began? You want to hear good guitar players from the '50's? Listen to Link Wray, Lonnie Mack, Eddie Cochrane, Bo Diddley etc.
