🌕 I was a Newport Huntington surf grimie till I moved to the islands at 17 in 1969 so it was about 1966 when we spent the night in my friends grandpas surf shack in Balboa and we wondered over to the Rendeviou and Dick Dale was shaking the place down, we were to young to get in but we stood outside the entire show. The reverb inside had to be insane because it sounded so good as it was reverb w an echo as loud as it was I just felt I couldn’t get as close as I wanted as it was behind locked doors.there was no sign but there is no doubt it was him as his music set my sole on fire and I play his music on Strat almost everyday and play his dvd loud when I drive around so people can hear real stuff blasting in the wind.
Golden Bear, in HB for me as a young Grimy. Then many time throughout his career. Then finally at the Hermosa Saloon in Hermosa Beach, CA at 81, the year before he passed.
Wow I never got to see him. But I did see Bob Dylan in Huntington Beach about 1966. He was across the Hwy from Golden Bear directly down on the walkway to the beach. He had a drum on his chest and a harmonica on steel chin support. He looked young like 16 I was 14. I was not sure as me and buddies walked by him. He knew I recognized but not the song. I said I This is bob dylan at about 10 feet away my buds nah that’s not him. But later that day I saw he was schedule to play posted on Golden Bear it was about 1966. A couple years ago I looked it up and he played there a few times and I found in 1966/67 so no doubt I’m not crazy, I know it was him. I have always been a fan
As a young man in the 60's Dick Dale sparked my love of guitar playing, and was my greatest influence. I saw him when I attended college in LA. To this day I still play his music. He will always be my #1 guitar hero. Rest in peace Dick, and when I join you I hope to be able to jam with you!
This guy is my hero. Apparently he was in a lot of pain during these last performances of his life. He kept plugging away, supposedly because he had medical bills to pay, but you can see that he’s not just trying to survive. Doing what he loved was clearly as important, if not more. What a badass.
Dick Dale is an example of a life well lived! Just like the way he played! He got every ounce of power and sound out his guitar 🎸 just like he squeezed every ounce of living out of life! He moved to California back in the early Fifties and immediately fell in love with surfing and the guitar 🎸. Since then he’s been a staple of the California scene and sound. An American Icon and Original for over 50 years! A legendary guitar player who helped Leo Fender design bigger and louder amps and guitar designs! He was unique and will be missed but will never be forgotten! RIP Dick Dale -King of the Surf Guitar 🎸 And Stratocaster!
So glad me, my wife and youngest son, had the chance to see Mr. Dale live at a local place in 2017. I was just offstage behind his lovely wife Lana, who ended up talking with me and was so sweet enough to get me a few of Mr. Dale's cards autographed to me! I'm 60 now and have been enjoying "The king of the Surf Guitar" music since I was three years old - and will continue, along now also with my youngest son for many years to come! R.I.P Dick Dale - a True American Original!!!
I saw him in concert four times and once I brought a new Stratocaster and he signed it on the neck at the concert... and I have pictures showing that. He was my hero...RIP
He sure didn't look like a guy with not too much time left, this night. RIP Dick! Thanks for everything you left behind. We're still playing some of your tunes, every week.
R.I.P. to my FAVORITE surf guitarist of all time. I enjoyed your talent, energy, and accessibility over the years Mr. Dale, and Loved every intimate show that I saw at the Coach House. You are The Man and will always be. May Peace be upon your wife, children, and family, and friends.
I had the pleasure of seeing him live at the Ritz in San Jose around 2015 or 16. He had more people in the band that night, it was awesome! RIP D Dale.
So glad i got to see Dick dale just once before he died. Saw him in Hermosa Beach California. He loved to talk a lot and tell stories during his show which was really cool. Anyways i managed to get my Fender Strat into the venue. His jerk stage manager tells me that maybe i can get my guitar signed after the show. After the show the guy is being a jerk and asking me to just keep waiting so... I just waited around until no one was around to stop me from walking straight into the green room. Then i just walk in there, guitar over my shoulder as Dick Dale is telling some guy... " I would prefer to get paid in CASH! " While the guy is walking out right passed me he says, " I'll try Mr. Dale, but it will probably be a check" So the guy walks out while i'm passing him then i notice that he's the only person in there with Mr. and Mrs. Dale, so they are just there sitting on a sofa, looking at me like " who the heck are you? " So i just sat down on the other sofa and said, " Mr. dale, I would honored if you would sign my Fender Strat " He just looks at his wife , doesn't say a word, stands up and walks out of the room. His wife Lana was so cool with me, She said it was OK and then Dick Dale came back and signed my Fender Strat for me! True story, hope you enjoyed it.
Watching this now once again in sadness. As I wrote below in a piece last year, went to see Dick in Dublin in the late 90's and it was like none other. He touched my ears but much more than that, he touched my heart. I sincerely hope, Lana, that you get some comfort out of the love we all have around the world for this man. From the bottom of my heart I send you my sympathy. A hugely talented man with a generous heart has passed and the world is a lesser place now. Rest In Peace.
He was on great deal pf pain for the last 3 years of his life, kept touring to pay for his medical bills. He did an interview couple of years ago where he goes into details about his illness, colostomy bag and all, ....heartbreaking. I'm sure you could find it if you're interested, I came by it by accident the day he died.
Little know fact: After Dick Dale was laid to rest, his guitar strings were used to replace the cables on the Golden Gate Bridge. Jk, but the man played some of the heaviest guitar strings they make and he made it look easy, even at 81 years old.
I’m so grateful I got experience and be a part of This! Mr. Monsour... Lana Thank You. Unfortunately, the way society works, as far as, the conscious collective or rather unconscious.. This Legendary, Epically Historic, Performance, won’t be fully appreciated until After He is gone. Sending You Love and Healing, -Peace

I worked at the Rendezvous in '61 thru '62 and met Dick Dale and the Deltones, the Righteous Brothers and many other performers who would go on to become 'famous' and I always thought that Dale's riffs and structure had an "Arabic" flavor. Turns out that Dick Dale is of Lebanese descent. Thank the lord! Leo Fender idolized the Man and his style, created amps that made the Dick Dale band the loudest ever heard in those days. The Redezvous has a 'floating' wooden dancefloor, which produces a booming sound, with the surfer stomp being an invented surfing dance style. Between the floor and the amps and the reverb, the rafters literally shook in that Ballroom! The Rendezvous was the first venue to welcome the new massive sound, thanks to Dick Dale and his Father, who rented the Ballroom for his son's debut, in his progress towards World Fame! The Rendezvous burned down in '65 and was replaced with condominiums.
Thank you DICK DALE for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. Your influential guitar playing style and music was part soundtrack to our young baby boom lives. May GOD bless your legacy and surviving family.
Legendary! Thanks Dick! Thanks Daniel! And, thanks Viper Room! Dale is the real deal, true to the core, and apparently undamaged by a life in show business.
LONG LiVe The KING of LOUD!!! - had the pleasure and privilege to see a guitar hero of mine at The Middle East in Cambridge in August of 2018. Let me say this as a guitar player: his tone was other worldly stuff of legend - heavy gauge strings, big honkin’ Fender amps and an old school spring reverb box. 🤘
Got to see him last year at the legendary Surf ballroom in Clear Lake Iowa.... the man was a force of nature ... great show, great person .... RIP Dick
What can you say when a hero dies? I was lucky enough to grow up in Los Angeles in the sixties, and will always remember when Lloyd Thaxton introduced Dick Dale playing his new song Surf Beat. I got a musical shock when he hammered the first notes and it's been with me ever since . Sweet sorrow. Dick Dale packed at least 2 or more lives in his 81 years. I'm too sad too write anymore. Thanks for posting a mellow concert. Thanks for sharing.
Remember seeing him in Dublin on 30 Aug 1996 (still have my signed ticket!) and it was one hell of an experience. Great to see him still working those frets and giving people a blast. May he continue to deafen concert goers for many years to come. A true gentleman!
I went to the Pike in Long Beach, Ca. when You played in the auditorium they had at that time. I am Very Glad I was able to see You that one time in all these years. I am twelve years younger and I play harmonicas in church. I was getting to where I could blow through a trumpet. Then I needed to have a Benign Tumor removed. So with the face modification, I have a couple things different to get the air, but if I really get at it, as You spoke of, then perhaps GOD can make it sound like Music. You and Your Angel do so much to Bless each other. I also have my first "Dick Dale" record album; SURFER'S CHOICE" . However, RUclips is easier too get into for that and songs I don't have albums of. Nor 45's. I Love All Ya'All. I been in Kansas now for the last twenty years. Please keep going as long as GOD lets You !!!
Eric Clapton and Dick Dale were one of the b biggest reasons why I got into guitar. On n off and now its the primary instrument I play. yes multi instruments.
I had no idea he played multiple instruments, and it would have been interesting to see him hook up with Ringo Starr and Edgar Winter. Great performance by a guy who was in seriously bad shape at the time -- I think some missed that his wife was on the stage in case he needed help, such as getting up there -- and the Satchmo impression was a nice touch. This is the kind of thing you show off to friends or family who complain that they're old.
We used to see him in a wonderful venue here on Cape Cod on Memorial Day weekend.The Beachcomber in Wellfleet MA. A little place PACKED when he was there. man he was so kick ass even well into his 70s.
Dick Dale is considered the father of heavy metal because of his wild, loud playing technique. Says Wikipedia and thats true! Awesome show by this old geezer!
I'll be 82 in January. I was there from the beginning to the end.

He's in R&R heaven having Leo Fender build him a bigger amp!
Best fuckin comment possible!
Well I hope so but I haven't heard it yet. Thank God for us regular humans who have his earthly recordings and you tube.
81 years old and still plays like a champ!!!
I must say his playing is much sharper that roy clarks was for many years before his death. Roy was also amazing though.
I am also afraid to watch all of this, he might take a stroke at any moment!
Always a Showman
This guy is my hero. Apparently he was in a lot of pain during these last performances of his life. He kept plugging away, supposedly because he had medical bills to pay, but you can see that he’s not just trying to survive. Doing what he loved was clearly as important, if not more. What a badass.

I saw him in concert four times and once I brought a new Stratocaster and he signed it on the neck at the concert... and I have pictures showing that. He was my hero...RIP
Have a signed one too. (NOT FOR SALE).
He sure didn't look like a guy with not too much time left, this night. RIP Dick! Thanks for everything you left behind. We're still playing some of your tunes, every week.
fred middleton cool dude
Beautiful site to see a man in his 80's playing the guitar with passion ! I hope to be playing as long!
R.I.P. to my FAVORITE surf guitarist of all time. I enjoyed your talent, energy, and accessibility over the years Mr. Dale, and Loved every intimate show that I saw at the Coach House. You are The Man and will always be. May Peace be upon your wife, children, and family, and friends.
I missed him the last time he was at the coach house and now I won't forgive myself damnit
Hey jerry you mentioned the coach house. Did you know Skip?
There was always an influence of death (or danger) in his composition. That's why surfers are drawn to it.
RIP Dick Dale. With archival performances like this, he'll keep inspiring others for years to come.
Jesus H Christ. As wonderful in 2018 as he was in 63. There's no Cramps, no Misfits, no Dag, no Meteors without Dick. Rest in Power, dear friend.
He started recording in the late 1950s - no reverb.
@@NightOwlSpirit I would agree!!
Brilliant - timing, rhythm, tone, everything - genius
I had the pleasure of seeing him live at the Ritz in San Jose around 2015 or 16. He had more people in the band that night, it was awesome! RIP D Dale.

I regret never seeing him live. He was extremely talented. He looked like he was in a great deal on pain during that performance.

@@haydn9600 Getting old is a blessing and a curse
True 😢one of the best guitar players in the world! Working hard with god’s grace and blessings!!!
2:20 when he begins to tune his guitar; so epic once he gets it tuned by ear from help from his friend.
He actually has an onboard tuner built in. There are LEDs on the edge of the pickguard that he could look at.
History in the making! At 81 Years Young, he could still kick it with the best of them!! Rest in Peace.
Long live the Surf Music King!
Little know fact: After Dick Dale was laid to rest, his guitar strings were used to replace the cables on the Golden Gate Bridge.
Jk, but the man played some of the heaviest guitar strings they make and he made it look easy, even at 81 years old.
He used strings supplied by Steinway.
They would later use his strings to make coathangers.@@denniscaton3894
Mr. Dale comes out and plays a Metallica style riff to open at age 81! My heart is broken. RIP Dick Dale.
I believe you mean Metallica comes on and plays riffs that Mr Dale created in the late 50's and early 60's....
I believe if you flip that it would be more accurate. That is class Dick Dale in the opening.
Actually sounds a lot like Megadeth - Rattlehead
@@shecklesmack9563 That's true. Same intervals.
So glad I saw him in a small venue just like this, RIP King of the Surf Guitar, you will live forever in our hearts.
I’m so grateful I got experience and be a part of This!
Mr. Monsour... Lana Thank You.
Unfortunately, the way society works, as far as, the conscious collective or rather unconscious.. This Legendary, Epically Historic, Performance, won’t be fully appreciated until After He is gone. Sending You Love and Healing, -Peace
Incredible...Love the bassist's enthusiasm too.
Thanks Mr. Dick Dale for the music, a true legend and your music will live forever. Rock and Roll hall of fame should be ashamed of itself. RIP.
Wow, i hope i can play even a fraction that well at 81 - but seriously what kind of knob ends give that performance a thumbs down?
Some people are just soulless.
Peter Thornton I can believe only 1.3k only like it out of 110k viewer it. Just weird
You are simply a douche nozzle and knob Peter. jeez what a jackass.
Rest In Peace Mr. Dale. I was fortunate enough to see you perform about 2 years ago. It was an experience I'll never forget.
Watching this brought a tear to my eye. Rest easy, Dick! :(

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Blown away by that left-handed guitar, strung RIGHT-HANDED....so cool.
I think there was a guy named jimi something that did the same thing , once upon a time

What a show! A true inspiration. RIP Dick Dale. Thanks for the great music.
I’m so glad I got to see him play live once at the Coach House. It changed my taste in music and what I wanted to play that night.
You know the guy is s legend when he created a whole gendre of music.
rip dick dale you shredded it til the very end
A all around class act I am glad I got to see him play 3 different times a true legend RIP
On 1:14:28 the moment you're alle looking for! Legendary...
Thank you!
Thanks man 😀
This video made St Pat's 2019 easier to bear. Especially with his loss. Rest, Surfer Dick! BTW, thank you, Daniel!
I'm so damn lucky to have been around when Dick Dale and all these legendary people were playing. There will never be another Dick Dale. R.I.P
I had the privilege of standing directly next to his amp setup a year ago. What a mindblowing experience that was. R.I.P. to a true pioneer.
how old are we ? does not matter, still my heart is beating i'll stay young; great Dale, respect to this man
Never lost any chops in 81 years young R.I..P. Dick Dale King of surf guitar.

You and Your Angel do so much to Bless each other. I also have my first "Dick Dale" record album; SURFER'S CHOICE" . However, RUclips is easier too get into for that and songs I don't have albums of. Nor 45's. I Love All Ya'All. I been in Kansas now for the last twenty years. Please keep going as long as GOD lets You !!!
Eric Clapton and Dick Dale were one of the b biggest reasons why I got into guitar. On n off and now its the primary instrument I play. yes multi instruments.
Grande Dick Dale!
Estive em seu show aqui no Brasil na década de 90.
Muito bom!
Thanks for all the great music Dick. You are greatly missed!
I have a 2001 American Stratocaster signed by him. Some folks say it should be a wall hanger or safe queen. Playing it respects his legacy.
Later Dick! Thanks for everything!!
I had no idea he played multiple instruments, and it would have been interesting to see him hook up with Ringo Starr and Edgar Winter. Great performance by a guy who was in seriously bad shape at the time -- I think some missed that his wife was on the stage in case he needed help, such as getting up there -- and the Satchmo impression was a nice touch. This is the kind of thing you show off to friends or family who complain that they're old.
RIP LEGEND. THANKS FOR THE MUSIC !!!
Brings back great memories as a teenager in Southern California! Loved his music.
ROCK IN PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw him a few times in the mid late 90s and I am glad he is still going strong!!!
We used to see him in a wonderful venue here on Cape Cod on Memorial Day weekend.The Beachcomber in Wellfleet MA. A little place PACKED when he was there. man he was so kick ass even well into his 70s.
Sad to hear of his passing. RIP Dick Dale
Many impersonators, but he was truly a one in a million RIP
Dick Dale! One of the original electric guitar cornerstones
Thanks Mr. Dale I waited too long next show in Houston.
I grew up in the 70s thinking the Beach Boys were the sound of surf. . .NOPE!!! Love(d) you Dale and your Del-Tones always.
such a great upload, , loading surfboard into car, he will live forever in our hearts,
Loved every minute of that. Thanks for posting.
one of a kind, and there will never be another like him....he signed my Strat at The Cabooze in Mpls around 2009....even put my name on it
RIP!!!! One of the VERY VERY BEST!!!!
Friend of mine put me onto him today, this guy is fucking amazing!!
23:25 The House of The Rising Sun!!! Very Good!! Bye Mr Dale!
This is SO COOL. DIck Dale at my favorite venue.
Dick Dale is considered the father of heavy metal because of his wild, loud playing technique. Says Wikipedia and thats true! Awesome show by this old geezer!
Master of surf music........thanks Dad
