I have a photo of me playing this on the road in 1969. We nailed it but all the credit goes to the geniuses who wrote and arranged this masterpiece. The Ventures forever!
The Ventures surely caught that surfing wave and rode it brilliantly! And the great overlooked component of their success was consistently excellent drumming that so powerfully propelled the whole band!
Que bellos....Don, Bob, Nokie, Mel....grandes!!! Fabulosos!!! yo tenia 11 años...en el año 1964 y ya me encantaban...y mis hermanas los oian y yo tambien...y fuí creciendo y mi grupo de amigos, amigas, vivimos y bailamos, solo su música....me casé y solo habia su música...me divorcie' y seguia su musica.... me volví a casar y segui con su música...enviudé y continua su musica.. soy misionera y llevo la palabra de Jesus... y hasta hoy continua su música....y continuara' porque viven en parte de nuestras vidas, y recuerdos!!! Hoy predico el Evangelio de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y tambien oigo la musica de THE VENTURES....😊☺😙👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Diamond Head sold 1,850,000 records in Japan alone. It was selling at the rate of 70,000 per week in Chicago but Liberty Records, having other interests, never pushed the record so it only peaked at #70 in the USA.
Absolutely was my favorite guitar instrumental ever. From the first time I heard it, I couldn't play it enough. I had a SilverTone guitar (originally form Sears, ha!) and a little amp. I wanted to play this one so much, but was barely literate on which string was which. I got some Music Minus 1 LP's and learned all the Ventures stuff I could find. That helped alot. I was finally was able to figure out most of what they were playing! It just all fell in place one afternoon. I played it over and over and over that day until my parents MADE me stop. And Diamond Head is still the absolute BEST! Love it.
That is just all but EXACTLY my experience with this song by this band. I was a boy possessed! With a Harmony guitar and a amp that I built from a kit. I too played to Music - 1 for Ventures tunes, over and over and over an ... But I don't remember ever finding one for Diamond Head. It was heartbreaking. (DId you find one for DH??) and then, after weeks of lame tries, it did just kind of happen. It was the arpeggios on the Ami figure that I just didn't get, until suddenly, somehow, it seemed that I did just play them. I went to some teenage Heaven! Love your story! Thanks for posting. We can't be the only two you know!
On this day in 1965 {February 10th} the Ventures performed "Diamond Head" on the ABC-TV program 'Shindig!'... Eleven days earlier on January 30th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #70 and spent 3 weeks on the Top 100... The group's drummer from 1962 to 1996, Mel Taylor, passed away on August 11th, 1996 at the age of 62... R.I.P. Mr. Taylor and Jimmy O'Neill {Shindig's host, 1940 - 2013}...
You have wonderful memories Even in a place like India The bands were playing venture s music with the poorest of Indian amplifiers and home made guitars Couldnt afford the foreign equipment
I have dozens of their albums. Many different musical genres. All are splendid. If you were a guitar player, they were indespensible for decades. Try their latin and Bethoven albums. A little bit of me died with Bob, Mel and Nokie. Don's still hanging in and doing well! Mel's son Leon plays percussion for the current touring band. Thanks!
I have always loved this entire genre of instrumental rock. The Ventures were among the best. I just wish they'd have never listened to whoever told them to add that sway-from-side-to-side choreography.
Still this make me chill out in 2020 there are so many equipment which can enhance the tune significantly but these guys performed so well in that time hast off to ventures ♥️ The real legends ♥️♥️
This is SO EPIC at a completely different level. I want to travel back in time to watch it Live..This one song epitomises the coolness of 60s. BLESS YOU ROBERT VARGA for uploading🙏🙏🙏
Penetration + Pipeline = Diamond Head. Put those three in any order you'd like. It still adds up to three monster classic instrumentals cut from the same expensive cloth. Magnificent.
Años 60's han dado lugar a un programa musical en Arequipa con Quico y sus oyentes entonces ha brindado a toda la juventud muchas canciones que han quedado en muchos recuerdos juveniles que hoy en sus hogares lo disfrutan todos los días recordando lo mejor de aquellos años inolvidables.
damn, I love The Ventures. The very first tape I had was when I was about 12 or 13 The Ventures Live in Japan, and it was an 8 track tape. I played it so much, just loved them.
Cortina musical del programa Kiko y sus oyentes en Landa AQP en los años 1965 fue de gran éxito sintonizamos con las competencias de cantantes y premios a los oyentes que adivinaban canciones siempre nos acordaremos de esas programaciones musicales que toda la juventud de entonces los oia.

😲 I agree and I think
Mel Taylor the Drummer was their Best!
なんと🎵軽快でリズミカルな流れるような音楽でしょうか。心から演奏を楽しみながら、思いを聴衆に伝える真心がひしひしと伝わってきました。小生15歳で社会人となり61歳まで、働きました。やっと年金生活者となり、毎日が楽しいです。😆🎵🎵ベンチャーズの演奏を、聴く🎧‼️と若返ります。もう一度青春を楽しみます。ベンチャーズ最高😃⤴️⤴️です。素晴らしい選曲と😆👍✨素敵な演奏に深謝します。ベンチャーズは、不滅です。😆🎵🎵

Waah dekhta hai kya Ryotsu aa gaya - aa gaya aa gaya .. God !! Those days were awesome .
Of all the surf songs Diamond Head has the soul...
i agree
... Though Dick Head has the fun.
流石に ノーキー・エドワーズが 入ると 音が 締まりますね。あの 「シュ シュ」という音を出すために 死ぬほど練習しました。

That was why they even stole the music for use in some anime opening.
@@DonkeykongSw2 this music was used in Kochikame opening theme. I still remember the music.
昔、神社の祭壇？の上で今は、亡き友達が演奏していた姿を思い出す。あの頃は、猫も杓子もエレキギターにはまっていた、
I absolutely love the ventures. I thank goodness for having old parents.
やっぱり オリジナルメンバー が最高ですね！ Very good! from japan
リアル世代じゃないけど❗兄の影響で、子供の頃、聴いた記憶があります。テンポが良くて、ノリの良い曲ですね❗何回、聴いても飽きない曲ですね❗

That amazing Ventures sound..
kochikame!!

Hahaha, the same was going to comment, greetings from Mexico
Lol funny story. Today my guitar teacher was teaching us this song and I yelled kochikame 😂😂.
Rohin Garg Kochikame is a police comic born in Japan, you know?
Lol
Danny Robert Hamilton compuso éste hermoso tema. Fue un compositor, músico y cantante increíble y de primer nivel. Un genio.
After Listening today I remember my college days. So happppy.
今でもベンチャーズの楽曲は最高でーす
Couldn’t have wanted a Time Machine so bad to see this Live !
I sure do miss all the great instrumental songs from my youth.
Thank you God for helping me find this in my lifetime 🙏🙏🙏

この頃のベンチャーズを見て私もモズライトエレキギターを買いました。🎵
Another wonderful Blast from the Past ....Thank you for all of the Great Memories. Love listening to all of our Oldies But Goodies...Everyday.
One of the worlds most spectacular bands , ever !! Ohhh Yeahhh !!
妻夫木版ウォーターボーイズ保育園生の頃見ててあの曲なんだっけなってずっと思っててやっと見つけた！！！

Hope u heard Ye Mera Dil pyaar ka diwana.. 1st lines are inspired from this 😃
Truly classic surf music. This must be the kind of thing that inspired Jimi Hendrix 🤔😁😁😎
When I was in highschool,
that music was wonderland.
Kochikame memory unlocked 😍
Excellent 1965 Vintage of black and white video
This is SO EPIC at a completely different level. I want to travel back in time to watch it Live..This one song epitomises the coolness of 60s. BLESS YOU ROBERT VARGA for uploading🙏🙏🙏
This song is quite fun and peppy, and would sit anyone’s feet to dancing.
今でも最高‼️🎶にいいですね～💖☝️
私が、一番最初に弾いた曲は、この曲です。リード。リズム。ベース。ドラムス。全部、練習しました。
When you realise the Hindi dubbed version kochikami intro has 1.5M views
And the original has only 167k views
2.2
This is not original video
Lol back in the day I happened to be one of the few kids in school who knew this before the the show thanks to my dad!
Cause we have more people in India compared to America.........
ベンチャーズ・・日本人は当方含め好きな方が多いですね 演奏だけで何十年も活動なされている 今年もお待ちしていますよ。
ビートルズの時代ですね
加山雄三さんも
いい時代でした。
Great song. Reminds me of after dinner when I was 7ish.
Penetration + Pipeline = Diamond Head. Put those three in any order you'd like. It still adds up to three monster classic instrumentals cut from the same expensive cloth. Magnificent.
Thanks for making my childhood complete 💓 kochikame and Ventures rocks 🤘🏼
