True story: I saw Dick Dale live a few years ago. Upon taking the stage, he walked over to his amp, held his guitar the speaker and out came some epic feedback. Then he strutted to the mic and confidently proclaimed to the crowd, "I invented that shit."
@@anonymoushuman7794 The Showman amps were named after Dick. Those amps are POWER HOUSES! Later came out with the Dual Showman and The Dual Showman Reverbs. Great amps, the Dual Showman Reverbs are very close to a Twin Reverb circuit.
I'd personally include this video in the discussion on the inventors of metal. It's always Sabbath and Zeppelin, but THIS is metal. And punk. And rock. And bluegrass. And a few other things.
Well back in those days, live music was generally played in more formal settings with more formal attire. It wasn’t until the mid-late 60’s that dressing however you wanted became commonplace in the music industry. If you were gonna be on tv like the Dick Clark show, you’d wear a suit.
There is nothing grunge about this... this is just his surf rock just played really fast and kinda raw like punk. Just because the drummer looks like Dave Grohl does not make it grunge
@@MedalionDS9 Well point A he doesnt IMHO . I think hes doing great you can watch the concentration on his face bless . You wouldnt know a great drummer if he stood up in your soup ! .I am from over the pond so you may not get that reference .
He has taken a masterpiece and somehow improved it over time. It's so much more elaborate and textured then it was when he first recorded it. Brilliant.
I can't get over that picking, some of my favorite guitarist are Tony Iommi, Eddie Van Halen, Dimebag Darrell, Randy Rhodes, Marty Friedman, but Dick Dale's extremely fast picking style, combined with his upside down left handed guitar, the way he pushed amplifiers past their limits, and how he handled reverb, it's truly mind blowing. Plus the fact that even now in his 70's, he can put on quite the energetic show. A very sadly under rated guitarist.
***** Ehhhhh nnnnno, I'd say the first pioneers who, key term, *touched upon* metal, along with Deep Purple and Led Zepplin some time later, but Black Sabbath was the true first fully metal band and insanely revolutionized metal.
What makes this such a great version of a classic, is that it's barely under control....it's like the speed of the song wants to run Dick and the group over, but they are hanging on for dear life..and it's PERFECT!
I had the honor of opening a show for Dick Dale several years ago When I was in the band, The Howdies. Remarkable man as a musician and as a human being. Go with God, brother.
The fast-picking technique originates from Arabic music. Dick Dale (who was half-Arab) said he learnt the fast-picking technique from his Lebanese-Arab uncle, who played like that on the Arabic Oud (ancestor of the guitar). Dale adapted the technique onto the electric guitar, creating surf-rock music. Dale was probably the first rockstar to use Eastern musical techniques, several years before The Beatles started experimenting with Indian music.
RIP Dick Dale. This is the coolest version of Misirlou I've ever heard . No matter hovv old he got he never slackened the tempo of his songs & in THIS video he's taking it up a notch.
Who cares about the Hall of Fame? If you are a great musician and people remember you as well as a great musician you dont need to be in the Hall of fame.
My mentor....I'm 70 and now just becoming a bit proficient at his music....even have my Fender strung upside down and backwards and left handed...still learning it.
I was fortunate enough to have a kick ass father that took me to a Dick Dale show in the early 90’s (pre-Pulp Fiction) and I got to experience double-picking up close. His performance had a lasting impression on me to always play with intensity. You’ll be missed but your contributions to music will live on, RIP DD!
We saw him many times over the years, mostly in the 60s and mostly at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Newport Beach and Harmony Park in Anaheim, California. Always sold-out crowds. Dick also played the trumpet which you can hear on the original 1963 Misirlou which is a pretty tame version compared to this live version. He was indeed one of a kind. Best to his family.
My older sister used to go see him at Harmony Park back when she was cool. She moved to Iowa and over the years I would send her articles about Dick Dale when they appeared in the newspaper.
Dear Dick thank you for your music. 'Requiem æternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei.' Eternal rest give unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
I saw him play at an outdoor venue sometime in the mid 00's. He was so loud that the ground itself was vibrating. Never experienced that before or since. Best show of my life
A pioneer and influence for so much that followed. Many of the great guitarists will cite Dick Dale as an influence for first picking up the guitar. A founding member of Modern Art Rock who's legacy and influence will live on. Our video of the day of this barnstorming performance as our tribute - RIP
Wow this gave me chills while I was watching it! Dick Dale is truly an amazing guitarist no wonder he was ranked on the 100 best guitarist of all time!
I saw Dick Dale in 1963....at a sock hop in Anaheim....two times. He was a miracle, that sound was like thunder, that bass just pounded into your gut. A few years ago, saw him do a free concert on the Santa Monica Pier.....met him afterwards with my son......what a gentleman, an amazing artist and stand up guy.
Just look at his technique when he starts the Malaghenia theme at 3:05. In ten years of RUclips I never seen something similar. Really amazing stage presence!
@@JesseDishner It's doesn't really ad to the sound, but it's cool to watch. You can see old blues players like Fury Lewis or Booker White do the same thing.
Rest In Peace, Rocker! Tragic that he toured endlessly just to afford enough healthcare to stay alive! The creator of a great American sound was not taken care of by his country!
Eduardo RIBEIRO TOLEDO tremolo picking means picking a note fast and repeatedly to give the impression of a single, sustained note with a "trembling" feel to it.
Watched a short film about the beginnings of “Surf” music and you were interviewed for most of the vid. All the “Beach Bands” owe you a debt of gratitude 🙏🏻 . And many bands of the day (‘60’s- early ‘80’s) said your sound was what they based a lot of tunes on. Keep on rockin’ Dick!
I knew and did two tours with Dick Dale. And I know for a fact he was no martial artist. I know he liked to tell people he was. But he was not. He also used to tell people lots of other things that were bullshit. Seriously.
thank you Jools Holland production people for NOT making Dick perform by a soundtrack. This is great..I have heard Dick play live for years and its splendid. I worked w/ him on "Back to the Beach" and that was one memory! also I used to see him at the dances 3 x a week at Harmony Park in Anaheim and that was the best years of my life.......ALL OF THE 60S....He's God of the Guitar and the last.....No, Eric Clapton isn't as fast as Dick...........
I was in high school around this time and saw Dick Dale play the Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio. At one point, he walked through the crowd playing a solo for what felt like 15 minutes. We were towards the front and lost track of him in the crowd. Several years later, my college roommate told me he had a friend at that show who told him that Dick Dale actually walked into the middle of High Street in front of the venue, which was the main road through the city, and played in the center of the street while traffic drove past on either side of him.
Just love how the song occasionally embraces its roots and actually sounds a lot like something you'd find in Egypt or Turkey. I can definitely hear it.
@@georgeskanderbeg3242 Yeah, but it's also mixed with Egyptian and Arabic stuff (the song is about a woman named "Miserlou", an Egyptian Muslim. The singer is thought to be some Christian Greek dude who wants her.)
"When I play, its like chopping down a tree. I am not eloquent". He was as good as it gets. Made a guitar a sound machine. Thank you Dick Dale. You were great.
No one can top this. The fastest and heaviest metal dudes can't even come close. It's punk as fuck. Johnny Ramone wouldn't have been Johnny Ramone without the mighty Dick Dale. Christ almighty i get chills watching this.
A Master at work,how he had the energy to do this beats me, I can’t even this now and I am half his age.also I don’t have his ability.Rock on man.Respect.BB
+Haroon Hafeez He's definitely plucking at 2:10 but then he switches back to picking. At 0:33 he grabs a new pick from the pick-holder on his guitar (maybe the old one was damaged?)

It's thanks to Dick that Fender amps were put on the map.. if they didn't withstand Dicks punishment they weren't worth diddly squat.
I like it how, he wears suit in 1963, and leather in 1995

What a perfect mix of Dale's signature surf sound fused with the grunge sound of the era.

I just looked it up its Dick dale's SON!
@@myultimatemixedtape Much older than when I met them, pretty sure that is Dick's son on the drums.

Well that explains it! I was gonna suggest what an honor for him to back the GREAT DICK DALE on Misirlo!! ❤
He has taken a masterpiece and somehow improved it over time. It's so much more elaborate and textured then it was when he first recorded it. Brilliant.
He's added a lot more glissandi but I still prefer the studio version.
This is a pretty awesome live recording.
playing the same thing for that many years it is bound to evolve from shear boredom alone

Back in the 1950s Dick was playing amps so loud that they'd catch on fire. This was before Fender redesigned their amplifiers though.
Austin Lucas haha you're right- you had to play them loud as hell to get the distorted sound
Harakudoshi904 the Beatles invented metal I'd say... Heard "helter skelter"?

Shit he's dead!?
@@bptdns22 Yup
He already jammed with Stevie Ray
@@juanmendoza2993 He also jammed with Jimi, they were friends in life, so he means they are gonna get back together up there.
Just saw him live tonight and he's still rockin'! He's 81! He kept yelling at the sound guy "Turn up the volume!!!"
prolly cause he couldnt hear for his age...
Probably one of his last shows... :(
I got to see dick dale live a few years before he died and it was one of the loudest shows I'd ever been to. And I mostly go to heavy metal shows.
What makes this such a great version of a classic, is that it's barely under control....it's like the speed of the song wants to run Dick and the group over, but they are hanging on for dear life..and it's PERFECT!
Yea. Barely under control. Like a board on a big wave
RIP to one of the best. Thank you for years of music and entertainment.
Griff Redux so sad I didn’t even know that and I just randomly watched misirlou he will be missed
So sad...one of my all time favorite guitar players. His version of " Pipeline" with Stevie Ray Vaughan is smokin' hot...
I did not know. Such a talented man.
I had the honor of opening a show for Dick Dale several years ago When I was in the band, The Howdies. Remarkable man as a musician and as a human being. Go with God, brother.

Saw this guy live in a shit bar in San Jose in the '90's. My ears are still ringing from that gig. Lol
Saw him in Oakland about 5 months or so before he passed away. One of the loudest shows I ever went to. Glad I saw him play when I did.
in my opinion this one of the most badass performances ever
RIP Dick Dale. This is the coolest version of Misirlou I've ever heard . No matter hovv old he got he never slackened the tempo of his songs & in THIS video he's taking it up a notch.
Dick dale is simply the THE Inventor of the double picking flamboyant Surf Guitar sound.
I was fortunate to knowing Dick in my youth.
At the first time i've read: "I was fortunate to knowing Dick in my mouth" hahah
Vincent Blackburn which this technique (the double picking) is used in rempetika
Dick Dale looks a lot like Anthony Hopkins in this. That made the video all that much more amazing to me.

Its the punk attitude that gives him that extra edge. A few bad notes here and there actually makes it sound more bad ass.

Dick deserves a spot in the music hall of fame. We need to get a petition started already!
Already there I believe
I looked it up again and couldn't find anything about him getting in.
Dick's never been even been nominated for the Hall of Fame, much less inducted.
I ll sign it
Who cares about the Hall of Fame? If you are a great musician and people remember you as well as a great musician you dont need to be in the Hall of fame.

And this. Is a guy in his sixties a burning up those strings better than any young guy.
Unlike any young guy ? Don't sweep all us 'young guys' with the same brush , there's great young guitarists out there
daniel cullen very true. Tosin Abasi for example is extraordinary, and not just technically but he us very innovative as well.
His tremolo picking is impressive, fellow guitarists will understand!
Oh the pain of it !
Is there and what would be the difference between tremolo picking and alternating picking?
Eduardo RIBEIRO TOLEDO tremolo picking means picking a note fast and repeatedly to give the impression of a single, sustained note with a "trembling" feel to it.
True
It is, but surprisingly untight. It would take a lot less energy if he used a smaller movement. Not a criticism just an observation.
