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

Even at their ages these guys play as fresh as when they were in their 20’s. Been a fan since the 60’s!

[@brustar5152]

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?

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 ❤

[@jaimetenjo1528]

El sonido de sus guitarras ha permanecido en mi mente y por más de 50 años, realmente han sido FABULOSOS!

Yeah me too. I'm 68 now.

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!

[@ragsdirt3492]

My brother and I played this music in the sixties even when we were in the Navy together.

[@frankieneal772]

Thank you ventures !!! Best instrumental group ever . Missed never forgotten . Thanks for all the videos…Remembering the 1960’s ….

[@xavierduraffourg499]

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!

[@寺谷夫光]

ベンチャーズの演奏は何時聴いても心に響きますね 私は十代の頃からのファンです

[@antoniograncino3506]

The Ventures were really big in Japan. Leon Taylor has the same crisp style as his dad Mel. On I Got A Woman, that is about the best finger pickin' on an electric guitar I have ever heard. Nokie hadn't lost a step in all these years.

[@tomkeefe2051]

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.

The Ventures produced the quintessential surf music for the 60's and early 70's, and unless I've missed something, there's been nothing like it since. Great times they were, not a care in the world.

[@kb6kgx]

No, there hasn’t been anything quite like The Ventures since. What those groups that did follow them tried to do was to recreate “The Ventures” sound in their own groups. Some got it better than others, but none to such perfection.

Also the Sufaris.
