なんと🎵軽快でリズミカルな流れるような音楽でしょうか。心から演奏を楽しみながら、思いを聴衆に伝える真心がひしひしと伝わってきました。小生15歳で社会人となり61歳まで、働きました。やっと年金生活者となり、毎日が楽しいです。😆🎵🎵ベンチャーズの演奏を、聴く🎧‼️と若返ります。もう一度青春を楽しみます。ベンチャーズ最高😃⤴️⤴️です。素晴らしい選曲と😆👍✨素敵な演奏に深謝します。ベンチャーズは、不滅です。😆🎵🎵

I have a photo of me playing this on the road in 1969. We nailed it but all the credit goes to the geniuses who wrote and arranged this masterpiece. The Ventures forever!

The Ventures surely caught that surfing wave and rode it brilliantly! And the great overlooked component of their success was consistently excellent drumming that so powerfully propelled the whole band!

[@mikecozzi1040]

😲 I agree and I think Mel Taylor the Drummer was their Best!

Diamond Head sold 1,850,000 records in Japan alone. It was selling at the rate of 70,000 per week in Chicago but Liberty Records, having other interests, never pushed the record so it only peaked at #70 in the USA.

[@DonkeykongSw2]

That was why they even stole the music for use in some anime opening.

[@terjesamuelsen9509]

That amazing Ventures sound..

[@daviddavis-vanatta1017]

Absolutely was my favorite guitar instrumental ever. From the first time I heard it, I couldn't play it enough. I had a SilverTone guitar (originally form Sears, ha!) and a little amp. I wanted to play this one so much, but was barely literate on which string was which. I got some Music Minus 1 LP's and learned all the Ventures stuff I could find. That helped alot. I was finally was able to figure out most of what they were playing! It just all fell in place one afternoon. I played it over and over and over that day until my parents MADE me stop. And Diamond Head is still the absolute BEST! Love it.

[@daviddavis-vanatta1017]

That is just all but EXACTLY my experience with this song by this band. I was a boy possessed! With a Harmony guitar and a amp that I built from a kit. I too played to Music - 1 for Ventures tunes, over and over and over an ... But I don't remember ever finding one for Diamond Head. It was heartbreaking. (DId you find one for DH??) and then, after weeks of lame tries, it did just kind of happen. It was the arpeggios on the Ami figure that I just didn't get, until suddenly, somehow, it seemed that I did just play them. I went to some teenage Heaven! Love your story! Thanks for posting. We can't be the only two you know!

Eleven days earlier on January 30th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #70 and spent 3 weeks on the Top 100... The group's drummer from 1962 to 1996, Mel Taylor, passed away on August 11th, 1996 at the age of 62... R.I.P. Mr. Taylor and Jimmy O'Neill {Shindig's host, 1940 - 2013}...
