Today I am 70 years old and I can boast that I have been enjoying these great moments in instrumental music for over 55 years. Congratulations to everyone who appreciates and thanks for sharing
In late seventies my brother introduce me to this music, first THE VENTURES then I took pleasure on the american music since then I enjoyed all of it. (from Mexico)
My father introduced me to the Universe of Music with an LP of Ventures in late 70s. Since then I am a huge fan of Ventures. You people were indescribable ❤
Except Bob Bogle is playing lead now whereas Nuckie used to do all that complicated fret work. Wondering if a bit of age related arthritis caught up to Nuckie before his death?
Love the Ventures been listening since I was 10 years old, at present I am over 60 years. Great instrumental band after the Shadows. From Kathmandu-Nepal.
Desde mi infancia en la segunda mitad de los 60s,los escuché en la radio, en mi pueblo natal, Chiautla de Tapia, Puebla, México 🇲🇽 ... simplemente inolvidable y maravillosa época que sigue vigente gracias a su gran legado, saludos a todos los fans de The Ventures
Unbelievable!!!!! Love "The Ventures" soo much!!!! My brother (died at 2020) was a great fun of them...... And now, I'm 62 years old, I know what he means......... !!!!! Great music of a super instrumental group...............
Real class, real gentleman, always respected one another, they never tried to out shine the other, thats real professionalism. Don’t see that much today. I’m so grateful I was alive during this time. My father loved them as well, and because of them he gave us the opportunity to take guitar lessons and one of my brothers ,drum lessons, he’s gone now, but thanks Dad, for a gift that keeps giving. Ventures rule,and always will.
Video uploaded 15 yrs ago Ventures playing on their 45 th Anniversary... Great Legend still young from their Souls ❤ that's the way one should lead their life 💕
Love the Ventures. They play a perfect r'n'r instrumental material. TECHNICALLY, they've been real foreseekers with sounds effects and others. The drummimg is amazing for this early time . Upon that I think that instrumental rock of the early 60's is mostly underrated. Actually it is a kind of music based on a smooth solo legato followed by a very peculiar rythm guitar which gather riffs and scratching pizzicati. No mistakes allowed, very difficult to play, Ventures roll their magic carpet with brio . Thanks for this video whith a gorgeous sound!
The Ventures: An enduring band that spans more than 5 decades! They were always able to adapt to the current music of the times, and yet preserve their own unique sound! Amazing band! And Mel Taylor's son plays drums like his father!
I am currently lying on hospital bed because of pneumonia.. thank you for bringing such a beautiful praise and worship.. I am thankful for all the things happening in my life and I also believe that God is with me all the way, even though there are times when I doubt His existence.. but He is always here.. teach me Lord to be more like You..
Keep the faith brother, don't let the enemy tell you otherwise. Remember, he is like a lion looking for someone to devour ! God bless you and give you wisdom.
Dios tenga en la gloria a los 4 miembros de los VENTURES, ahora que murio Don Wilson (el ultimo) creci oyendo su musica,(tengo casi todos sus discos en LP) GRACIAS MUCHAS GRACIAS THE VENTURES.
Ventures have been my favorite band since my school days in 60's. They are so talented that they make things look easy. They are known for their neat appearance and also for their impecable behavior. God bless them.
So many fond and sweet memories coming in flooding my mind and heart everytime I hear them playing! Simply loved their music!!! Thanks for uploading !💞
THE VENTURES lo mejor de lo mejor aprendi a escucharlos gracias a mi hermano Q.E.P.D. es un Grupo Musical inigualable . En estos tiempos ya la musica esta deteriorada...componen canciones para llorar pero de cólera ya que no tienen sentido ni la melodía ni las letras. Gracias por compartirlos....un Brazote desde Peru....
This, CCR, and Dwayne Eddie were the first taste of music I had. I walked around listening to all my Dads albums when I could barely walk...with those big 70's cans, with a 30ft phone cord attached. lol Music has always been my life.
Great group Band The Ventures. I love to hear their instrumental music when I was a little kid. Now I'm 70 years old and still listening to their instrumental music. From Keningau Sabah Malaysia.
Absolutely lovely! This music never dies! My dad started with listening to this when 13 years old, I'm from 1972 and still love old music, actually its timeless! So much passion and honesty in it! Gorgeous!😎 🎸🖤 yay for telecaster!
My dad left us in 2018....and he was a big fan of ventures.....he taught me the very firstst song tequila........ Tears flowing...while listening to them..... ❤️😭❤️😭
When you bought a Ventures LP, you also got with it an instructional booklet on how to play the songs on guitar. The Ventures therefore directly contributed to the aspirations of tens of thousands of wanna be guitarists. In about 1962, when I was about 9 years old, my dad was stationed at Tachikawa AFB in Japan. One day at the USO club, a band of young GIs was practicing in the music room. One of the songs was Pipeline. I asked how they were able to play that run of so many notes so quickly, and they showed me the soft pick. I was hooked! On my next birthday, I got my first guitar. In the 60s, every high school band that I ever heard played at least one of their songs. God bless them all!
Los Ventures un grupo con el que me identifico... hermosas..melodias...mi adolescencia los escuché y hoy a mis 65 años me siento tan feliz como entonces....gracias VENTURES....los amo han estado y estaran siempre con todos los que amamos su musica!!! Todos los dias los escucho!!! Pipeline...ginza lights...cabeza de diamante y todas....voy a correr olas con esa musica...gracias mil!!!
When its come to the music I'm one who really admire coz I Am a music lover specially the ADVENTURE GROUP very interesting remembering when I was in my high school days , even though I am old enough still I love this kind of music and very interesting good job 👍❤️🍡🥰
The original drummer, Mel Taylor, passed away many years ago. The drummer you see now is his son Leon, whom I'm proud to say carries on his dad's tradition in fine form!! Keep on rockin'!!
Love seeing and hearing a legacy passed on. Make those sticks bounce a beat. My son also filled the shoes of his father on the drums.RIP to all musicians who have left us, and thank you for leaving a part of yourselves for generations to come.🎶
When these guys were playing "Walk Don't Run", you knew you got the real arrangement and the real group. They must have been one of the groups who stayed together with original members as long as any in the era.
These guys were and still are amazing. I have a lot of their albums. I still love listening to them as I did when I was a kid in the 60's. I play now but I'll never be as good. It just goes to show you don't have to sing to make great music. My older brother could play with these guys no problem (RIP Jim).
I have listen to these guys since i was in grade school and I am 60 yrs young and still listen to then today. Their music will never grow old. Long live The Ventures.
I was just walking down my driveway and seemingly out of no where I began humming the song “Walk Dont Run”. I couldn’t remember the name, probably haven’t heard it in 40 years or more. Frustrated that I couldn’t remember the name or artist but then like magic it just came to me. Wasn’t sure if I was correct but I typed it in on RUclips and sure enough this concert and an original version came up. Wow! Was I pumped up. Where do these thoughts pop in from? I’m thrilled and call my buddies that grew up in the 60’s with me. Rock On 🤘 Sh the 60’s,., if you can remember them, you weren’t there. 😊
I had a similar experience. Me and my brother taught ourselves to play guitar listening to their records and playing their songs, eventually forming a band . They were and still are excellent musicians ! Mike
Two songs in my life have absolutely transformed and improved my love of playing---this and of course most anything Chuck Berry played! :) I annoyed anyone within ear range playing the 45 until it finally wore out!
Soy ochentero pero admiro a The Ventures ; son grandiosos y tienen muy buena musica , siempre los recuerdo y jamas dejare de escuchar a estos clasicos.
What i can say is...this all old man can play with eye blind for sure.They played with heart.And they are really real musicians and this is what we call art of music.
Wow! What a blast from the past! Their "Surfing" album was the first stereo LP I bought way back in 1964. I had that LP with me all the time I was in the merchant navy - it went round the world with me - I still have it! Pipeline, Perfidia - two of the best! 😎😎😎
After taking some lessons, I really learned to play guitar by listening to the Ventures. Had most of their albums in the '60s and eventually played lead guitar in several bands that covered many of their songs. I'm 77 years old and still play "Walk, Dont Run", when I pick up a guitar! 😊
The Ventures Harmony Park and Rondavos Ball room Newport Beach, and Dick Dale! The 60's and 70's were the days! We danced the night away ! 💕💕💕💕👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Played it through my BlackBerry playbook by hdmi to flatscreen tv thru to stereo surround. AMAZING! Gripped the arms of my chair and did not move a muscle until they had finished Absolutely magical!

Even at their ages these guys play as fresh as when they were in their 20’s. Been a fan since the 60’s!
Except Bob Bogle is playing lead now whereas Nuckie used to do all that complicated fret work. Wondering if a bit of age related arthritis caught up to Nuckie before his death?

ベンチャアズの曲は何度聞いても秋が来ない人生で一番感動した一曲です！ありがとう！！
El sonido de sus guitarras ha permanecido en mi mente y por más de 50 años, realmente han sido FABULOSOS!

This takes me back. I miss the 60's. Life was so much more simple and laid back......of course, I was a little kid.
Yeah me too. I'm 68 now.

Nobody puts together a more lively well played compilation of guitar instrumentals than the masters of the guitar “The Ventures”
The Ventures still play WDR as if it was the first time they performed it. So refreshing and innocent. Thanks boys.
American Ventures and British Shadows are two great bands.Thanks for your music and give so wonderful memory.
Wow...
Ventures have been my favorite band since my school days in 60's. They are so talented that they make things look easy. They are known for their neat appearance and also for their impecable behavior. God bless them.
It’s great to see these guys still performing. I’m 72 and remember them from my teens. We played some of their stuff in my band.
So many fond and sweet memories coming in flooding my mind and heart everytime I hear them playing! Simply loved their music!!! Thanks for uploading !💞

I bought every LP they put out, they were my favorite Performers. I played their music on my stereo and drove my family crazy.
Some really down to earth good old music, they groups were the real thing. Growing up with this music kind of locks you in a grove.
These guys were the very best of all time for an instrumental rock and roll group. Nobody else was even in their class.
how bout metallica?
American "Shadows" .... :) do they still play Mosrite guitars they advertised on their LP's?
