Wipeout

This brought some grins. We used to drum this song on our desks all day long in junior high and drive the teachers nuts. There is some respectable guitar playin goin on here, wait out the drum solos. Shoot check out that gear!

The Ventures! That's gotta be one of the first licks you ever learn on a guitar...and the drums. Thanks M.

Sweet lineup of Fender amps.. But listening to too much surf music almost makes me nervous.

What is the silver dot in each cabinet, that is not a JBL is it? I don't think they were using them at that time. Weren't silver domed JBL speakers in some amps in the later 60's? Sunn, Kustom, West...

I love the Ventures!

Man, the Ventures have recorded so many great albums...I especially love "Live in Japan '65", and their Christmas Album (my very favorite X-mas cd...took me 10 years to find a copy! glad it finally got rereleased). I also love that studio album that the Ventures released only in Japan around '69 or '70...its covers of a bunch of Japanese pop songs mixed with their own tunes (written with a Japanese flavor)...I forget the name of this album but it finally got released here in the US about 10 years ago and it just might be my favorite Ventures' recording... melancholic and melodic,very haunting sounding stuff.

I refuse to take the Rock n Roll HAll of Fame seriously until they induct them! They've been unjustly neglected by this institution.

Thanks for the links. I really enjoyed the Classical Gas version form the Ventures 1994 Youtube link. Can these DVDs still be purchased today?
