I was in Applebees one Saturday morning back when they still served breakfast. This was in Covington, WA. The bartender asked what I had been doing that morning. I told her I had been listening to the greatest guitar music of all time. She asked who, and I told her, "The Ventures." There was an older man wearing a hat on the other side of the room. I did not see his face. When I was leaving, he had already left. When i was ready to leave, the bartender told me Don Wilson had paid my bill.
When I was in viet nam in 68 in my spare time I was a DJ. I wrote several groups and ask for some albums or singles and the only group that responded was the Ventures. They sent me I guess it was 6 or 8 albums and boy was I happy. We had new music to listen to, music that we all new and grew up with. I cant say Thank You and tell you what a difference you made to some guys that really needed something different in their lives to get their minds on something else..........Thank You to all the VENTURES And May God Bless!!!!!
I listened to the Ventures’ music since childhood when my eldest bro. and uncle played their vinyl LP. The melodies and forms were deeply planted in my mind as I grew up. Now I’ve been collecting their Vinyls for 2 decades. Their music is ever attractive n memorable.
I learned a great deal about playing guitar in time playing with that Ventures album. They, in my opinion, kick started what we called " SURF MUSIC." They sound GREAT!!!! At 71 I now play light jazz on guitar and Slap funk on bass. Thanks for giving me the DESIRE !!!!
How many of us as children wanted to be just like The Ventures. They are the reason many of us learned the guitar. Rest in Peace The Ventures. You gave us some of the greatest music of all time.
Remember them well. At home I played drums on a shoe box and he played the guitar and we would play some of their songs.drove momma crazy 🤣 im 70 now and my brother is74.
I’m 75 and enjoy and play their music more than I be. Because of the Ventures in 1961 I started playing a Sears $15 Guitar. Every Thursday I play at the happy hour in our senior center bar. What an ego trip. Of course Walk Don’t Run is in my play set.. Ron Annapolis MD
I grew up listening to the Ventures. Then, years later I began playing guitar. My friend and I learned every Ventures hit as soon as they hit the airwaves. Thanks guys.
+Bob Dashiell I have ALL of the ventures albums, even the rare "Christmas With the Ventures". None of them are for sale. When I'm gone, you may wan't to talk to my grandson. =Stefan=
+chengloki I tried to get every album but failed. I have many vinyl lps but never play them. Not sure what will happen to them when I pass on or what to do with them now.
Bob, we have the same problem. My grandson will take custody of my albums, but he is not a Ventures fan. can you imagine that??? I even have a first edition of "Mr. Spocks Music From Outer Space". Do you know what that is worth?? =Stefan=
+chengloki "Do you know what that is worth?? " No but to the right collector it could be worth a lot. Just guessing. The problem is finding that person. Sigh...there will never be another band like The Ventures. Today's music is full of anger, hate and more negativity. I know that my taste in music dates me but I simply cannot listen to the young music of today. Oh well, we still have "our" music to listen to. :)
Hey, can we have running dialog like the old system?? As for the "music" of today, I don't hear it as music. Don't care for bycicle horns and police whistles. Give me the Ventures any time. Hey, how about the "Shadows".? You have to be like me, in your 60's. =Stefan=
I love how their opening medley is all the same song. Real musicians without some kludge singer to overshadow the real heart of the band. Love you guys always and thank you.
as a teenager here in england in the sixties we had the shadows and you had the ventures. and we loved them both. now i'm 70 and i still play their music on my guitars. great years, thank you.
+John James McCartney It is unfortunate that The Shadows records weren't given proper promotion in the US; Apache was released on Atlantic Records, and Jorgen Ingman's version was released on ATCO, a subsidiary of Atlantic. Ingman's version was promoted and soared in the charts. The Ventures also released their version of Apache on an album; "The Ventures play Telestar." I've not been to a Ventures concert that Apache was not played. I went to the Shadows Final Tour show at the Apollo in Hammersmith, London in June 2004. Only time I've been to a Shadows concert, I enjoyed that.
This brings back old memories of awesome youth, when I never ran out of energy, and I just knew I was 10 feet tall, and bullet proof. Awesome music for awesome times. Thank God for the Ventures.
The Ventures are just soooo. great. But know one knows, except those that lived back in the day. These guys learned to play their instruments in a garage. And turned out to be the the GREATEST INSTRUMENTAL band of all time. Their music makespeople feel so good. But, I guess you had to be there. If anyone loves the Ventures like I do, stay close - more coming.
Wow! Wow! WhT lovely memories it brings back to me. My growing years were all through the sound of the Ventures and the Shadows. Now attach a memory to it and you're walking down memory lane. Thank you so much for adding meaning to my life!,,,,
ONly two groups I love so much, being a guitar player !!!! The SHADOWS and The VENTURES ,,,,,,,,, OMG THESE WERE THE BEST AND ALWAYS WILL BE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP ON ROCKIN FELLAS , FROM THE U.K XXX
Every garage and cover band in the 60s filled their repertoire with Venture tunes.... most of us learned to play rock be following along on their records.... too bad the original guys are almost all gone.... just showing my age I guess.... thanks for the post
I was 13 when I first heard these gentlemen play and I knew that I wanted to learn to play the guitar I did and I've been playing it every since and I'm now 72 years old so go figure about 60 years God bless these guys
I played Venture music when it came out in the '60's in my garage band. It was really something when you could play their tunes and in almost sounded like them! Great memories that got me started on a short but exciting musical path.
Wow! The Ventures are so great. Listen to their music when I was 8 years ago from the records that my Dad's American Special Forces Advisors bought for him in the early 60's.
nostalgie quand tu nous tiens ! qu'est-ce que c'était bien tous ces morceaux instrumentaux des sixties . La passion reste intact et je ne m'en lasse pas! La preuve ! suis là à les écouter et les regarder.
Excellent group, of an incredible quality. Music that transports me to those years when music was really beautiful and left you wanting to continue listening to it for a long time. Those years will not come back, but that music will last forever. That those years live and that their music be lasting for years.

Cool.
We were in the 1956 Comm Group (5th U.S. Air Force) in 1968. We had Far East Network, but I do not remember hearing any music.
in Danang 1966 we had Armed Forces Radio...played all the new stuff....
So right 60 years later
Great story , music can heal. Great story man.
This is such pure excellent talent. No computer synthesizer crap. Just brilliant technique and innovation. 60 to 90's music will live forever.
My late husband and I listened to the Ventures so much in the early days ..love the memories. Thank you.

年の流れを感じさせつつも、いつものリズムを刻む演奏に心が救われ、今後もこの演奏を続けてほしいと望みます
ベンチャーズの60周年ライブ観て、大感動でした。名前は、聞いた事有りますが、本物を見たのは、初めてだし、演奏も初めて聴いて、最高でした。また来年も、日本ツアー来て欲しいし、行きたい＆メンバーに、会いたいです♪初代の方々は、時代が違うので、分かりませんが、ベンチャーズ最高です♪
I have listened to them my whole life and never get tired of it.
いつまでも、お元気で！本当に感謝・青春時代を思い出し更に頑張ります！同年代の方ファイト
Like an historical monument, the Ventures music will always be with us. 🎸🎸🎸
Ok
Unless the Democras tear down the monuments, like they change other history

Please ask him What guitar pedals does he uses to get that sounds? Delay pedal, Reverb? Thanks
The Ventures are the music of my life! I was born in 1955. My earliest memory is old cowboy county music and the Ventures. Guess which one stuck!
Born in '56 - listened to my first Ventures album when I was 7? "The Ventures Play Telstar ..."
Both kinds of music!
The Ventures is my Dad's time but they are forever. Love and thanks to the band and the person who post in UTUBE for everyone.
Forever Awesome! The Ventures ,Thank you for your beautiful music
My Dads all time favorite band. I loved sitting in the livingroom Sunday mornings listening to him play along with his old vinyls. I miss those days.
Oh! What a wonderful composition, still in is giving me
charming at my age of 58years.
my brother hooked me on the Ventures in 1960 with Walk Don't Run and have loved them ever since..
It was the Ventures and the Beatles that inspired me to learn to play guitar. Great band whose songs I still enjoy hearing and playing.
大分腕を上げて来ましたね
素晴らしく成って居ました私は73歳です私がベンチャーズに出会ったのは13歳の時でしたあれから60年ベンチャーズの初代は皆あの世へいきましたが貴女方が受け継いで伝えて欲しいです❤
Heard these guys as a kid over 50 years ago and still love them.
Nice to see u guys n Music...love it.......very much , when i hearn that sound i was back to my younger generations.
Always a fan. It always looks to me like Don Wilson is just having a hell of a good time. Rock on guys.
I think he realizes just how blessed he is… and that he is the one and only Teke-teke-San
