I lived it...Hot rods and surfing... Beach Bunnies and bikini hunnies, it was the best time to alive and free... California was the place to be... Newport Beach, the wedge... Huntington Beach (aka, Surf City).... surf culture, tiki island... the music was fun and totally represented my generation.

Excellent 🎉😊😊

*Killer* surf tones...on an inexpensive Squier Stratocaster. Mikko is a beast!

It was great to find this video of Dick Dale in his later years, and to finally learn more about the history of the Rendevouz Ballroom. I started surfing the Newport / HB area in 1959 and was lucky enough to be a regular at the Rendezvouz, saw Dick and the DelTones play every weekend and was really bummed out when it later burned down. When he was playing at Harmony Park, I used to tell my parents I was going to “Youth Fellowship” at our church, then we would drive to Harmony to hear him play. As I recall, Harmony was a much more uptight "inlander" crowd, with drunken fights in the parking lot. I was told that Dick and Jimi Hendrix did the early testing on the first Fender electric guitars, and that they both played their instruments upside down and backwards! Dick would occasionally surf with us at Dana Point, before the harbor was built. It was a wonderful time and place to grow up!

I FREAKING LOVE THIS BAND!!!

Even garage bands that I played with did surf music on the east coast.If you have Sirius XM they have a surf music channel which proves surf music is not dead. Rip Dick Dale.

Обалденный surf

Да это сёрфы очень классные

Very, very impressive!

All u guys do is just sick as F*#$!!

Nice!

Is there nowhere to rent this still?

I grew up thinking that The Beach Boys were real “surf music”. It wasn’t until I was a young adult that a friend from Santa Cruz educated me on what real surf music was! These dudes shred!

Beautifully done!! Would love to hear more!!

I feel like it’s not surprising that the bands drummer was down to play with Dick.

Just because the tone has drip, it doesn’t make it surf. This is closer to Cradle of Filth.

Perfect band.❤

Fabulous stuff..!!..Can't beat Fender gear for this sound...!!!!!

I love sound of a fender singing then power of the amp reverb

Just getting into Dick Dale. Been playing music and rock all my life, various bands, drums, piano. I find his story incredible. -moves to California at 17 -Middle Eastern musical background, which introduced middle eastern scales to rock -the most awkward, unorthodox guitar setup I've ever heard- Heavy "coathanger" strings plucked repeatedly furiously on an upside down guitar because he was left-handed. Now, you hear this about Hendrix, but Hendrix would restring the strings in the correct order. Dale...did not. -Worked with THE Leo Fender in coming up with louder sounding amps. -Reading between the lines- the blown amps, the wildly popular "stomps" they held, it must've been an explosion. "I wanted to convey the power I felt surfing through the music I played." I'd say mission accomplished, Dale. I've never been on a board, but your songs impart real, creative energy. Thank you!

Goddamn! Listen to that sweet drippy goodness.

Top notch surf tune!!

I was there and on the camera!

More!!!!!

Badass Jamz guys. Just ran across you on KZfaq. Absolutely love the songs that you guys play 🌅✌️😎

Super Song and super surf music.

Finns can do romantic surf!

Labour of love.

Sweet sorrow from a one of a kind guitar inspirational giants. Never enough of Mr. Bertrand. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks John Blair and company! A light in the darkness.

GREAT🎉

Who needs a board , body surfer , flippers and hand pads in storm swells later I had waist belt for float in chaos type water . Manasquan pocket, Sea Girt wall , Merrick board to pickup the birds when water too mellow. 1973-1984 Jackson Ave

Amazing especially the buildup from saxophone solo to ripping surf guitar

First Online Purchase I ever made was for this album off Slacktones's website many moons ago.

He's a hero and a legend.

Phenomenal performance by these great musicians, thanks for posting this gem!!

Fantastic!

Up there with the best surf songs of all-time by its sheer audaciousness. How many groups could give this tune justice?

A thunderstorm with lightning and thunder is coming...

What is happening with your documentary? Nick and Mike Campbell ("Dirty Feet")

Super,Like!!

Pretty Darn Cool🤙🤙🤙

WOW!

❤👌🏾😎🚬

Does anyone remember that Dickie owned The Rendezvous in Garden Grove in about 1980? I loved it. His wife at the time also performed there. She was very talented but had nowhere near the warmth of Dick

This is awesome!

would love to see the full length doc, is it online anywhere?

Just as great as when I say them in San Berdo in the 80's!!

Laikat kävi jäähyväiskiertueellaan Lappeenrannassa 2008, ja keikka oli omassa mielessäni Top3 kautta aikain. Erityisesti rumpali-basisti -kemia oli uskomaton.

😎🤟
