I have listened to the Ventures heavily the last 6 months. Really getting into them. I just learned from watching this video and seeing what people were saying that Don Wilson had passed. At this moment I'm hurting. What a great man and band.In alot of ways I loved his rhythm guitar just as much as lead. Each instrument had such quality. I was also very proud of the band being mostly fellow Washington st people. If you can hear me Don, Thanks for the great tunes. We will be listening forever.
hey no feeling bad, such guys are immortal, their music lives on and they also live on. Of course God must be having a fantastic array of musicians at His place.
Love the Ventures, they along with other surf music groups were inspirational in our surfing days. The music still brings back memories of summer days when we surfed our Malibus at Narrabeen beach Australia. Thanks for sharing....God Bless.
As a 10 year old in 1960, the first 45 rpm record I bought was Walk, Don't Run by the Ventures on Dolton label. At 74, I still have that old record and still aboslutely LOVE that song! Never thought it was the very first surf song ever played until much later when I heard Walk Don't Run 64 and could relate the music to the incoming surf, It all fits!!
My family started purchasing Ventures vinyl LP records around 1963. Their blue Telstar LP record had 12 beautiful songs, especially Apeche, and purculator.
It is a picture of the 1990 Japanese tour. The concert hall is Matsudo Municipal Hall in Chiba Prefecture. This picture was broadcasted all over Japan by the national broadcast "NHK" of Japan.
Sorry, Charles, but that is incorrect! They started with Fenders and later, after Nokie hooked up with Semie Mosley, converted to Mosrites and all became partners in distribution. Just look at them in their very early album covers and promotional shots and you will see the Jazzmasters. I even saw them in the later 90's and they were back playing Fenders. You might look around and find the biography on The Ventures - search Google... It's out of print but can still be found in some libraries and thru the InterLibrary Loan system.. Lots of great details and stories. TH-cam has a TON of videos from over the years and all around the world - mostly Japan - that features them and their equipment plus various members, from startup to the current lineup since all the original members have passed away. Note Don's brand "Wilson Brothers" guitars (Google that, too) in later years, somewhat Mosrite like and I believe still available today!

@@MikeBlitzMag Just a note, I have two of my basses autographed by The Late Nokie Edwards- I met him at a gig we were both playing up in Florence, Oregon - he was a very nice man.
This picture is a Japanese performance in 1990. It was broadcast nationwide by the national broadcast NHK, after which video and CD were released. The location is Matsudo Municipal Hall in Chiba Prefecture.
Thank you for clarifying. First thing I noticed was the blocks and binding jazzmaster and I'm thinking; hang on a minute that guitar couldn't be earlier than a '68 or '69 then I see the hotrails in the stratocaster and losing my mind...
Tengo 76. Si me toca ir para arriba los voy a buscar a estos 4 (5) fenómenos, que seguramente se habrán juntado de nuevo para seguir haciendo esas maravillas musicales. Gracias Bob, Don, Nokie, Mel y Gerry por alegrar mi adolescencia. Nunca será igual sin ustedes. RIP.
I ditched elementary school a few times and remember one of them dancing to the ventures like the bad baby i was being so damn happy to have the house to myself doing my own thing.
I first heard this when I visited my cousins in Canada in 1969.....picked up a guitar that evening and had the licks down pat in a day or so.....always preferred this version to the other one. Interesting that Bob Bogle is playing bass in this one, and I have seen clips of them playing the other version and he is the one playing the lead guitar. RIP Bob Bogle
Someone correct me but don't they have one of the most distinct sounds in rock history. I was only a little kid in a late sixties when my brothers played these albums and 50 years later I'm still enjoying the music
@@catholiccowboy8545 I enjoyed your joke. A friend of mine plays in a band that features songs from the 1960s. They are called Silver Hair. I loved the Ventures (dentures) in the 1960s and still do. They were inspirational in our surfing days . I still surf now at 74. God Bless.
@@thomasbain9241 .. Ok but the Ventures were not a surfing band at all ... They tack that nickname to them now because they used to record an album of surf music once in 1961 or 62. But they had nothing to do with surfing.
When Nokie Edwards left the band, rhythm guitarist, Don Wilson, slid seamlessly into the lead guitar slot and knocked it out of the park. That was great!!!!
As with Charles above, this is, at least somewhat, incorrect! I'm not at all familiar with Don playing lead - though he might have for a short time. Bob Bogle was the original lead player and in my opinion always better that any of the other lead guys, including Nokie and Gerry McGee. Nokie and Gerry were finger pickers while, as far as I have witnessed, Bob was a straight picker. Nokie could do fancy stuff at times, but, again to me, just didn't have quite the direct feel for the original material that Bod did. And he was the guy who played the original hits in the early 60's before Nokie switched to lead. You can see him play the originals in a few TH-cam videos where he steps up and digs in - but you have to search. Nokie was originally hired to play bass but eventually made his way to lead with Bob's agreement. Check to see if you can find the BOOK on the Ventures.. It will take a bit of looking but I've read part of it...
@@BURTBROWN -- Easy there, BURTSY. I believe you are, at least, somewhat incorrect. If that isn't Don WIlson up there, then he lent his face out to someone. Nokie was a much better lead player than Bob Bogle. Bob's muffled sound was nowhere near Nokie's sharp, crisp way of playing. Nokie suggested Bob's guitar ability was being stretched in leads and Bob agreed and traded places on bass. The Ventures took off after that.

Una de las primeras canciones de the ventures que escuché gracias a mi padre que gustaba de buena música. Excelentes músicos. Gracias por compartir. Dice un fragmento de una canción mexicana, ( no es mejor el que va aprisa para caminar distancias).... Camina, no corras.
How fascinating that the director seems to have thought it was Don Wilson playing the melody, when it was actually Gerry McGee on the white Strat! Poor old Gerry barely gets a look-in on camera.
I wasn't happy with 64 when it came out but eventually warmed to it. I prefer this to the original recorded version, it's more fluid. Bless the Ventures.
Yep, there are even tribute bands: Strawberry Parfait (though I don't know if they're currently on hiatus or disbanded) and HotStyle.

Forgot how much I loved these back in the day. They will never get old.
2022 and they still rock..I'm 43 and grew up listening to this..
Rachel Olvera Ortiz, "Walk Don't Run" song is 58 years old. It was already old music when you were born.
Rest In Peace Don. I've loved this song since it came out, back when I was 3. My 6 year old son loves it too.
Yeah , I was 8 🎸!
Godspeed brother !
The Ventures...one of the best ! love these guys.
Bob Bogle, Nokie Edwards, Don Wilson, and Mel Taylor.... one of the happiest bands on the planet.
The Ventures initially played on Mosrite Guitars. Then they started using the Fender guitars later. Mostites were manufactured in Southern California.

RIP Don, thanks for the memories. Started surfing in 64'.
These guys are the stuff of legend. We have seen the end of real rock 'n roll, and they were in the thick of it.
I'm 69 and play bass and guitar, these guys were Gods to me when I was a kid, I can still play all these tunes.
64 is my preferred version as I love that reverb. just amazing
The original also has reverb. I like the slide. Really like both versions. And both versions of Pipeline. Go Ventures!
Don Wilson was one helluva rhythm guitarist.
The legendary Don Wilson handling lead here. Magnificent. We were immeasurably blessed to have had the Ventures with us for as long as we did.
Don is playing the rhythm guitar here. The other guitarist, probably Jerry McGee,
is playing lead.
@@bigbass421 Yes, I was going to say the same.
@@bigbass421 They appear to be trading off. And that is definitely Jerry McGee in the video.

gotta love Walk Don't Run 64. I love the fade in.
I am 62 and I still love Ventures ♥️
64 here and still loving them.😀

Absolutely Love the Ventures and always have.
This is super rare. I'm a mega-fan and I didn't even know they had ever played this live. Thanks for sharing.
Wut. why would you think that. It's literally on the first video if you search "ventures live"
The Ventures..The best of the best instrumental group in the World....!!!!!!!!!!
Try listening to the Shadows of Great Britain. They are awesome too.
@@ernestogalura97 YES I AGREE ? BUT WHEN THEY SING I DONT LIKE AT ALL
Thank you for sharing. Brought back old memories. We had a set of records.
The greatest band to ever grace our planet! Musical Perfection! 🎸
I ditched elementary school a few times and remember one of them dancing to the ventures like the bad baby i was being so damn happy to have the house to myself doing my own thing.
I don't know why the radio stations Don't play more of this music today! It is so great!
TELL THEM!
So many memories from junior high and high school. They will rock on forever.
I looks like these four gents were genuinely enjoying performing this.
I m 66 and still have my dad’s original copy ! I remember it on the hi-fi st 8 years old !
Don Wilson absolutely loving what he was doing!!
Great music, brings back many memories Alan
Grew up on the Ventures and other groups like the Fireballs. Still as good today as when they came out with walk Don't Run.
Espectacular!
Sí que fueron buenos tiempos.
Escena agradable con los originales The Ventures.
Gerry McGee is phenomenal, don & bob are amazing & Mel Taylor just kickin'
R.I.P. to all the band members who are no longer with us in this life.
When myself and some mates formed a band in tech collage, this and Apache were the first two things we learnt.
This track is a take-out from the Ventures in Japan 1990 Laserdisc and VHS tape release

It turned out the ex-bass player Nokie Edwards was better on lead guitar, so he took the lead guitarist.
One cannot imagine how many guitar players were inspired by these men,,,and Fender guitars
Cruising speed with the roof off and the windows down. And into the sunset we go.
Great version..love it thx
Lucky enough to have seen them twice… fantastic band!
Love these guys. They sound even better than ever here.
the original and best version of Walk don't run wow
Gr8 video! Thx for sharing!
What the he!! happened to the "WHAMMY BAR" ???
ドンウィルソンのサイドギターが最高でした🎸👍😘
To play the song when I was a kid!
Timeless, Endless, A Prayer of the universe for the future
These guys made the electric guitar the most popular instrument of all. ❤❤❤
so glad I got to see then in2013 in Newton nj with a meet n greet
I grew up to these guys. They have always been epic.
They were why I took up the 12-string in the 60’s.
Someone correct me but don't they have one of the most distinct sounds in rock history.
I was only a little kid in a late sixties when my brothers played these albums and 50 years later I'm still enjoying the music
Awesome always will be forever
Timeless, magical... ♥
Wow, flashbacks to my High School years.
Master class.
I started like this song in 1959. the girls across the street had the record.
I bought the Hawii Five-O 45 in the 8th grade and I have my dad ‘s original 64 mono copy of Walk don’t run!🎸!
