Jon and company this will always be one of the great surf classics.

Man...I love love love surf music. It's got such a surreal quality to it....the reverb, the single note picking, the tremelo, the bends and dives, the I IV I V progressions...it all combines into this utterly cool haunting sound...

[@neilloewe4287]

I wish I could "like" this video more than once!

For clarification, Dusty Watson is the original drummer. Greg Eckler joined later and is featured on this particular clip. Dusty played on subsequent clips and those will be released at a future date.

[@rodgerspillsthebeans]

Saw this band at Madame Wong’s West in the early 80s and they blew me away. Saw them again in the 90s at the Redondo Beach Lobster Fest. The music just brings an energy and feeling of happiness that no other type of music than Surf can bring. Keep rocking gentlemen! Surf’s up!

Madame wongs.man I’ve never been there but I first heard that name in the 80’s.had a friend who’s cousin played at madame wongs.I was a teanager at the time.I’m 54 now 😢how Time flies.

[@brianwaskow5910]

Just as great as when I say them in San Berdo in the 80's!!

[@KevinLambguitar]

Wow - totally authentic! These guys are playing great. Hey, I think I remember the name Dave Wronski - I was playing in Riverside from 1974 - 78 at the Mission Inn and other places...boy does seeing this played in San Berdoo bring back some memories. Kevin

Back East in the late 70's/early 80's when surf had become a mere undertone, we had The Nightbeats..but there was this group we kept hearing about called JON AND THE NIGHTRIDERS, whose records we couldn't find, but they were still a legend....then their material became available, right around the time when Dick Dale was being given back his rep...and Get Back The Feeling came around...and then we had them both, but Jon had kept the Surf flame from being snuffed out...praise to him!

[@MrsOliva]

High class.

[@JG300Stoopy]

Ho-LEE CRIPES!!!! I used to go see Jon & The Nightriders all the time back in San Bernardino & Riverside back in the 80's. They could tear the nails right out of the stage, incredible to see & hear them again. Last time I saw them was at the Ash Grove, on E Street I think, which ironically (considering the name) later burned down. I moved away from SoCal in the mid-90'sand would have given anything to see this. Whereabouts In San Berdoo did the above take place? Not the Orange Show I see.

[@jonnightrider]
