.....I SAW DICK DALE A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND HE WAS A "MACHINE"!!!! HE PLAYED FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS, STRAIGHT!!!! ALL CONCERT, ALL THE TIME!!!! HE WAS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!
Guitar Legend Dick Dale pioneer and creator of his own genre of music in 1955 also the pioneer and creator of Fender Equipment with Leo Fender in the late 50s+60s Marking 62+ years in the business.
I think it is cool that me and Dick Dale share almost the same birth date the day that is so close and what a legend to share that with. May you R I.P. Mr Dick Dale.
Many Friday nights in 1963 thru 64 at the Harmony Park Ballroom in Anaheim, Ca me and my buddies would get our 1/2 pint and go hear and dance to Dick Dale and the Deltones. "Louie Louie " and all the great surf music. It was a great time. Then we'd go surfing the next morning with a hangover. And sometimes with black eyes or bumps and bruises from the fights that sometimes jumped off. I tried to steer clear of those. Great memories.
They FINALLY inducted the Ventures in the R&R Hall of Fame , but it eluded Dick. Frankly, I don't think he cared. He was too good for that in my opinion. RIP. The airwaves will NEVER be the same without you!
There will never be another. Godspeed Master Dick Dale! Go see Joey and His Showmen featuring Dicks friend and Protege Joey G on that Surf Guitar! Based in L.A. area.
As a lefthander myself, I'm always intrigued by the instrument and stringing choices artists make. Not many like Dick - playing a lefthanded model but strung upside down, as for a righty. Most commonly, you see lefties playing a righthanded model they've reversed the strings on so that the strings are in the proper sequence but the guitar itself is upside down. But all four flavors of lefty guitar playing are out there - righty guitar, righty stringing (everything upside down), righty guitar, lefty stringing (just the guitar upside down), lefty guitar, righty stringing (guitar right-side up but strings are upside down - like DD here), and lefty guitar, lefty stringing - (everything in it's originally intended configuration and orientation). I once saw Stevie Miller playing a white lefthanded strat that he'd restrung for his righthanded self. Love to know the story behind that guitar.
The RVZ/SRV hat dude had one hella view! Salute,thanks for the video👍 PS: what the holeyflyingfrickin shxxxt!!? Dick Dale is not in Rock And Roll Hall of Fame ?! Arghhhh...
I was there too Kevin and up front as well and recorded some of the show, but to the left of where you were. I didn't record this part, glad you did. Good job!
When they invented 'SURF MUSIC' like this, Dick was right there. Like '63 or '64 at the Rendezvous Ballroom, Balboa. Stompin'. We were goners, flipped our wigs forever!
@@dirkdiggler13 No, not really. Not into Strats for a start, except in the hands of Hendrix, Blackmore or Malmsteen. I’m 80 now, and have been playing for a good living for many years. I have seen Dale a few times. Just not my cuppa tea mate. If that is ok with you?
@@lesbois53 🤣Fine with me old timer, but it's weird that you took the time to tell a bunch of Internet strangers how you're just not into a guy when you could've just as easily scrolled on past. You know your unsolicited opinion isn't mandatory right?
@@dirkdiggler13 You are an opinionated individual. Old timer, you cheeky sod! I’m probably fitter than you! Why should I “ scroll past” any of the comments on you tube? I thought that is what it is all about mate. Dialogue. Or am I wrong again?

There really is no other. This man mastered the sound of surf guitar, let alone the guitar itself, Rest In Peace you legend.

Dick Dale taught himself on lefthanded without restringing his guitar ... The low e is on the bottom... amazing
One of the nicest guys you ever meet. I met him and his wife at Daryls house three years ago.

R.I.P Dick... You made a difference! Thank You
God bless Dick Dale. May he forever rest in peace. Such musical innovator.
Pioneer, Legend, innovator and the list goes on....timeless talent

RIP King! So long Master! =(
Yes, RIP the king of surf music !
American guitar rock'n'roll all originates from this guy!
Big D, Thank you for paving the way for all those who followed your lead.
THIS IS AWESOME. I'M.SEEING THIS LEGEND HERE TONIGHT IN MEMPHIS !
How was the show!?
This year would have marked 65 years in the business.
He is missed! Much love to you Lana!
You were the best wife a man could ask for.
@@MrChristianbass2170 Thank You Dear Christian as your a Great Soul. Please send your address to me in email at lanadale@earthlink.net
Greatest Surf Band Ever!💥❤️

Who the F gives a S about the "Hall of Fame".. What a joke
@@VIVADUDE07 That's EXACTLY what Dick said. Fuck Rolling Stone magazine, too!
Dick didnt mix well with the establishment did his own mngt. Lana managed dick played
There will never be another. Godspeed Master Dick Dale! Go see Joey and His Showmen featuring Dicks friend and Protege Joey G on that Surf Guitar! Based in L.A. area.
Much respect, didn't know he played strung upside down, RIP Legend.
It's on youtube somewhere. By the time Leo Fender pointed it out to Dick he'd learnt how to play upside down and stuck with it.
RIP Dick Dale, The King of Surf Rock!
Link wray, the chantays and the animals! Seriously awesome.
Put me in the mood for some george thorogood too!
Saw him at the ramshead in Annapolis, he played a horn and drummed on the bass throughout the show
RIP DD
I was there also with my son, one of my guitar heroes 👍🏼

One of my heroes. Before Lemmy, there was Dick Dale. :)
dick dale was fucking godlike, one hell of a picker, a gentleman, scholar and no fucking hodad!
Goes to show you there really is no age limit on this sort of thing if you want to keep doing it! ;)
I miss him. RIP Dick #RockandRollHallofFame
RIP King. Love you forever.
DD is in my Hall of Fame. #1
Surf all day...party all night with Dale....repeat...those were the dazes
Even though he says his music isn't for musicians it definitely is
When they invented 'SURF MUSIC' like this, Dick was right there. Like '63 or '64 at the Rendezvous Ballroom, Balboa. Stompin'. We were goners, flipped our wigs forever!
YES...NEW PORSH BEACH.......VERY RICH PEOPLE AND SURFERS.
What a talent!
Was the King of the Surf Guitar performing at the famous Surf Ballroom? Famous that it was the venue for Buddy Holly's last performance.
80 years old doing that
Harmony Park Anahiem Calf 1965, 67,68!ROCK!
My man Link Wray, lived just 40 miles down the road from me!
Surf king right there.
I did not realize Dick Dale's guitar is strung upside down! ( Coco Montoya does it this way also. )
Eric Gales too.
@@dirkdiggler13 And, as I recall, so did Albert King...
Doyle Bramhall jr...
Hendrix
He would go through drummers like water
He wore them.out. Only his son could keep up!
I don't think he could wear out Ginger Baker or John Bonham. Then again, you never know.
That was pretty good
Rock. In. Peace ✌️
American Legend
The Rock of rockers
When you hear Rumble Think Link (Wray)
RIP
so much LOVE Kimmyssong
RIP Dick Dale
Him being left-handed what done it
There are other chords besides E.
Dick had no use for crutches. 😉
Quentin Tarantino
Who is playing bass?
Sam Bolle. He toured for years with Dick, and was a great partner. He also played in Agent Orange. Nice guy, I have spoken with him a number of times.
Thanx Albert, now I know
I saw perform live many times A True Showman! 🎸🎶
i'm ashamed for all drummers everywhere...argh!
Never got into this guy.
You missed out.
