I'm 100 years old now and saw the Ventures live in the 60s. I still listen to music today and TH-cam videos at my age , maybe that's why I'm living so long . 😊😅😊
The drummer on the original release of this song in 1960 went on to become a 4 star general in the Air Force. Google it and you will see an awesome 1996 clip of him playing drums with the other guys wearing his Air Force blue uniform. I was 10 years old when I first heard this song in ‘60 and bought the 45 rpm record for $1. I played it so much the grooves in the vinyl are worn out. I still have that record on the light blue Dolton label. At 69 years of age, Walk Don’t Run still rocks me!
Eu aos 31 anos também gosto muito dessa música e fico imaginando como seria aquela época pois hoje vejo que não se fazem músicas como antigamente. Certeza que muito legal. Forte abraço amigo
I believe Skip Moore was the drummer on the recording. Gen'l Babbitt as a 17 yr old was the 1st drummer to play WDR, but it was recorded after he left.
Back in the 60's every young aspiring guitarist was trying to learn and play The Ventures. There was no internet, you online tutorials, down downloadable tabs. You listened to a 45 or 33-1/3 record and worked it out by ear, lifting the needle and trying it again and again until you got it right. Show your friend how you play Perfidia, and he shows you Walk Don't Run. Then comes Mr. Moto, Diamondhead, Lullabye Of The Leaves, and so many more. Thank you, Ventures, for many hours of listening and learning enjoyment.
The lines Nokie plays in between the lines in the verse absolutely make this the best version of the song! Could listen to it 10000x. The whole band is beyond tight with this flawless performance!
The guys make it look easy. There are so few that can perform at this level live. I have been listening to the Ventures since the mid 60s and it never grows old. RIP Nokie, Bob, Don and Mel. I always wanted to see them live but never took the time. Damn!
Yes, the band is tight. But the lead guitar player doesn't even play the right notes. This is the lazy version. I can't explain it to you right now, so compare it with the original.
@@WastrelWay Nokie Edwards never used the tremolo bar for any music he played. His version made this tune hit the top of the charts for a 2nd time in 1964. I liked Bob Bogle's version of "Walk Dont Run" and" Perfidia" a little more
@@wastrelway3226on the original recording of WDR Nokie played bass. It was Bob Bogle who played lead....and played it slightly differently from this version by Nokie, who doesn't string bend or use any vibrato.
A long Frend (>60) of mine played this song all along to warm up and as he died a year ago i discovered that his big Guitar Vault included 2 Original and signed Guitars from the Ventures and ii got his Collection by Testament. Would never sell them for Respect but decided to donate them to a special Museum when i´m dead too.
I was actualy standing right there on the stage as this video was shot back in 85 , they recorded a number of tracks at this session , It was awsome being there having been a fan of the song and band since early childhood , one of my first records that as a child was the Walk Don't Run compilation , with all the greats like Telstar and Wipeout . l remember it being a very somber feeling seing this group at their age's , back when l myself was still a young adult
Great song! I always loved the Ventures style. They were unique from any other instrumental group. I think they have done a cover on about half the songs of the 60's and it always sounded good . Thanks for posting this.

Who would have guessed this song was composed by legendary jazz guitarist Johnny Smith? Bob and Don learned it off a Chet Atkins record, simplified it, and made it rock, which launched The Ventures into R&R history.
DUDE--It was supposed to be close to the original, which it was. One of the biggest hits of 1960. Check out the original. I hate it when a band changes the songs we loved, just for the sake of change. Rock and roll in the early 60s was the greatest! Anybody else agree??
Wow! Excellent!I have been listening ventures since my sweet sixteen.Now Iam a senior citizen,but still the ventures inspire me a lot!! Feel like dancing! 🙏
It's being enjoyed by any generations. Funny thing....this is currently on rotation at Legoland FL. Think of how many young generations will have this melody forever linked to their memories of great family vacations. That's the amazing thing about music.
i am an eighty-year-young South African boy who, in 1962, went from my home in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa to the Teachers' Training College in Graaff-Reinet, a lovely town in the middle of our Great Karoo. Once ensconced in our hostel accomodation I hauled out an accoustic guitar given to me by my favourite Aunt, and began to strum. Soon, another hostel chap joined me with his guitar, and before the next year (1963) began I had three chaps in my newly-founded band! I played a Framus bass guitar, Bertie Hansen played rhythm, Johan Griessel played lead, and Trevor (never knew his surname) who worked at the Graaff-Reinet Advertiser, played drums. We had an amazing time playing at the various College functions, the High School functions and of course, the private functions held by the ever-so-friendly Great Karoo farmers! We called ourselves "The Plectrums" and we played for a full two years and had fantastic fun! Not one of us could read a single note of musice, but we mimicked all the rock stars of the day: The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, and many others, including The Ventures, and our favourite was their Walk Don't Run. What an amazing memory which this video has provided! Thank you a million times! It would be fantastic if anyone remembers us from those magic days, and I invite you to email me on johnbeck.bsr@gmail.com Rock on!!!
THE VENTURES !! A TIMELESS GROUP THAT TAUGHT THOUSANDS OF GUITAR PLAYERS THIER FIRST SONGS, SOMETIMES "SIMPLE" IS BETTER. A FEW WELL PLACED NOTES BEATS A THOUSAND RANDOM NOTES IN MY BOOK ANY DAY. VIVA LOS VENTURES, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES !!
this is the best tune on guitar, I rember when I was 4yr we had a squardon anniversay at officers mess, this tune was played by 2 guitarists, i was mesmerized the way their hands moved on the wires. Simply stunning

I bought the 45 rpm record in 1960 when first heard this song on the AM radio. I was 10 years old then and this song blew me away! At 73, it still does, and I still have that 45 rpm vinyl record on Dolton label, but I played it so much the grooves are worn out.
Wow Great Soul touching music. I don't need any wealth in my life time. I am blessed with such a gift from God.I am so lucky that I am alive to hear the Great Legend of the world ❤❤❤❤️
Wow! They look young here. I can't believe I've been surfing San Diego waters for over 60 years. My avatar at the left is a very old DMV photo and any resemblance to a person living or dead is purely coincidental! These guys still rock my life, although I love Mozart, too.
I was a young guitarist when this hit the radio. A little while after its release on Seattle's KJR (the hip teen music station), I got a job at the Shipyard in Bremerton. While walking up to the electronics shop, where my bandmate was working, I saw signs on every available surface; walls and stair risers; that said "Walk Don't Run" and I've always wondered if, like me, the writer was a yardbird with a band and worked thiere Having no title for his instrumental, was inspired by the signs. It could happen...
Great musicians like these never grow old and neither does their music. Thank goodness I was born in the right generation and not brought up on today's crap.

@@tuckytucker5737 thankyou bro for the explanation

One thing that needs to be pointed out is just how TIGHT they’re playing! They are ON POINT without a single hiccup
Well they should be, to be fair. They've been together long enough and this is a simple song. As amazing and haunting as it is.
They are loving what they do best, see the faces !!!
🤣@@junodonatus4906
I am an old life guard from LA. from the 60 s and this song take me back to those wonderful days!! I love it. When LA was gorgeous, back in the 70 s !
Me too. I'm 88 and I still love The Ventures. Had all of their 33 1/3 albums.

I'm 75 years-old and grew up listening to the Ventures. They were the first and the best when it came to all music, no words, guitar rock.
I was actualy standing right there on the stage as this video was shot back in 85 , they recorded a number of tracks at this session , It was awsome being there having been a fan of the song and band since early childhood , one of my first records that as a child was the Walk Don't Run compilation , with all the greats like Telstar and Wipeout . l remember it being a very somber feeling seing this group at their age's , back when l myself was still a young adult
All I can say....is just Wow.
RIP Nokie .. The world will miss you and your incredible talent
Good old days, when music was real music, played by real people!
Arguably the best instrumental group ever...
Check out the The Shadows you may change your mind Ned.
@@jeffreyedwards609 I like the shadows but I love the ventures a lot more just my opinion.
You should check out the surfrajettes I believe is what they're called. An all girl group. They're good but I like the ventures better too
RIP Don Wilson. Thanks for some great music.
The classic lineup ! Sad that they are all gone now. Incredible musicians.
This is not the classic lineup; this is much later than that. The classic lineup was Wilson, Taylor, Edwards, and Bogle.
Love this song, reminds me of my childhood. Mom and Dad loved the Ventures and I grew up on this stuff.
Same here 🙌
there is no music these days not like this!!!!!!!!!! back then they could really play music!!!!!!!
1:39 превосходная, культовая группа, отличные мелодии, бесподобная игра, слов нет , чтобы выразить восхищение!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
these are the songs we learned to play on our guitars when we were kids in the 60s
Yeah
billville111 wow now these are the songs I'm learning as a kid in 2016
lol same
Some of us learned to play these in the 70s and 80s.
And 70's too!!

AWESOME DONG. I'm in my UPPER 60s still love the song.❤
I saw these guys live in Orlando, and was given an actual pick used by Don Wilson. It hangs on my wall now. He can still play!
The best thing, other than the actual music, is that they all look like they’re loving it.
almost 60 years later and the fender reverb sound still lives on.
There's no music like that today!!
Wow! Excellent!I have been listening ventures since my sweet sixteen.Now Iam a senior citizen,but still the ventures inspire me a lot!!
Feel like dancing! 🙏
the drummer in this vid is mel taylor , after he died in 1996 of cancer his son leon taylor took over and he is still playing with the ventures today
I love how one instrument comes in at a time.
God bless the Ventures 🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸
I was 13 when " WALK DON'T RUN " came out. They were great then and now they are still great. Love all their music !!
It's being enjoyed by any generations. Funny thing....this is currently on rotation at Legoland FL. Think of how many young generations will have this melody forever linked to their memories of great family vacations. That's the amazing thing about music.

They worked together ❤ so well...You to love'm. You have nothing to compare them with...GREAT PERFORMANCES ALWAYS...
So many types of rock since this was released; hard, punk, new wave, grunge, shred, etc. But the Ventures still rock in 2024.
this tune never gets old
Evergreen music till date

One of the greatest instrumental groups of all time. Thanks for uploading it.
Such a catchy tune and the Guitars and the 🥁 drummer 🎶
They just got better and better with age!!!! They always played amazing music and never broke out in a sweat!!!!
I wish any of the original Ventures were still alive... sad.

I love playing along with this 🎸

Nice song I like this musical instruments used by the ventures god bless you congratulation

these guys got along so well....great playing here
Perfect band members ❤❤❤
My favorite instrumental of all-time!
Thank you for sharing this great video with us!
Hello friend, how are you doing today
THAT, my friends, would be the classic Ventures line-up!
So cool so nice so good
And Memoriable
My favorite group of all time. I learned to play guitar by listening to their records (my older brother had all of them) back in the mid 60s.
My Mom bought me one of the Play Guitar with the Ventures albums. I learned this and Pipeline when I was about 12.
Love and hear their sound like no other. My granddaughter age 2 danced to this with me today. She saw guitar, drums first time. Thanks ventures ❤
i love this live version. Nokie killed it!
The Ventures played onMosrite Guitars!I bought one back in my youth,&learned this song in one hour!Wanna bet?
Great musicians like these never grow old and neither does their music. Thank goodness I was born in the right generation and not brought up on today's crap.
Amen to that!
How can you stay away from this master players of the wonder years...,the 70's.
Nokie is one of the best lead guitarists I have ever listened to. He is very talented.Love his style!
Super
Every day listen this song
Thanks for updating
Fabulous! Besides the great Guitars & Drums, the Bass line is amazing!
¡How not remember to The Ventures; this song was your world hit!
Any dislikes for this tune are from people who are running when they should be walking. They need to slow down and enjoy the music. 😊😊😊
Great performance!
RIP Nokie Edwards, may the reverb be with you
First time I heard them I was about 4 years old riding in a 40 Ford loved them ever since
