I was in the navy in japan in the late 60s and the japanese people were so different it blew my mind. they were so much in love with americans, it was funny to feel so at home in such a bizzare culture. Always a good time and they are so polite and shy and nice. this music takes me back there.
Passing of Don W. brought back memories of 1965 in Japan. The Ventures inspired a countless hour of learning their licks by ear on acoustic guitar at my preteen year. Their creations are and always will be in my soul.
Juntos nos hicimos viejos tanto radio escuchas como los Ventures, unos ya no están y Wilson esta a Dios gracias acompañandonos a los sobrevivientes de aquella bella época inolvidable.
Spannende live Aufführung dieser fantastischen Meisterstücke im rhythmischen Tempo mit perfekt synchronisierten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der Trommler ist besonders ausgezeichnet. Echt super!
These guys inspired me to learn to play guitar in the mid 1960s (along with The Beatles). My guitar in those days was a blue Ventures model Mosrite. Hard times took it from me, but after retiring I bought a sunburst version of the same guitar. Amazing band and out of this world guitar! Still listening in 2020.
when the Ventures were just hittin' the big time. all the teenage garage bands had to learn their tunes....yeah, I was in one of 'em.......we also wanted to play enough gigs to afford those great MOSRITE guitars!
I like the first song very much. It is kinda negative,written in minor. I like ambiental stuff. The drummer is enjoying the life he has. He has so much power in his left hand. Nice!
Hey Einstein! (Ficnam2), This was 66 not 06! No Dub Here Pal!!! Mannnnn!!!! Noki and Mel! 2 of the Best!!! Never Again. Thank you Guys for Such "Clean, Powerful and Pioneer Music. Without a Doubt, The Fab Four of Instrumental!!!
Then why is it in stereo with no mics in front of the amps? the lead is on the left the drums are in the middle and the bass is on the right. It's all fake, clearly the sound is dubbed on The ventures never sound like this live. check my "The Ventures The Shadows comparison"
