[@ErikoFukuda]

I am a Japanese live in Seattle for 40 years. They made so many great songs in Japan. Thank you so much The Ventures!!

[@mikefournier2601]

Great thanks for showing this best band ever

[@steveearnshaw2216]

We saw Nokie Edwards play at the bar at Three Rivers Casino in Florence, Oregon shortly before he passed away. He was very frail but the music was pure magic.

[@USCG.Brennan]

I grew up admiring you guys and learned to play my drums listening and playing along with you in my den.....THANKS!! I even saw you in Spokane WA back in the mid '90s in a High School auditorium. It was a fairly unannounced (by radio) concert and I took my family, and we were fortunate to get in and sit up front!! What a treat that was. You guys took requests at the end and I remember some ignorant lady asking you guys why you never SING anything!!! Hahahahaha....the number ONE Instrumental group in the WORLD and she asked that question.... I think her husband cleared that up in a hurry when they went home!! ;-)

[@RobertVeasquez]

Miss you Mel, Bob And Nokia...and Josie. Hope you are all Walking and a Running up in heaven!

[@charleswesley3642]

Always wanted a Moserite but a Jazzmaster sounds better.

[@jamesarchibald852]

The Venturers may age, but their music never will. Timeless! It would be nice if they could come up with a new sound with the same magic. I love your style, never stop!

[@tomk1tl]

These guys are still admired in Japan...they love the Ventures................ditto here ;-))

[@froilanvaldez1991]

Thank you; listening and watching here in the Philippines****

[@Nigelxman]

This documentary is priceless! Thanks so much. :-) How the hell are the Ventures not huge still in the U.S. today?!! It's criminal given so much of today's crap music.

[@edwardkujawa]

dumb as people dontnknow when they have a great band in their face

[@1-shotslinger108]

This is freakin' great ! After this I'm going on eBay to get more Ventures albums.

[@jerrymorgan9602]

The Ventures were idols of my brothers and I back in the sixties. We even formed a local combo band and tried to emulate The Ventures. It was fun. We even used some of the play along with The Ventures teaching material to try and get that sound. Lost track of the Ventures through the years but thanks to KZbin have learned more about them than ever. Sad to have lost Mel, Bob, and recently Nokie, but the other guys are doing great. "Let's Go" Ventures.

their all dead except Gerry and Spaldingorginal instrument rock band not surf that came later

[@trevordring4599]

Although The Ventures were huge in USA and Britain, they were not the first guitar group. CLIFF RICHARD had a backing group called THE SHADOWS made hits in Britain since 1958. Their first record released in 1959 was a number 1 hit called APACHE, and Hank Marvin, the lead guitarist used a tremelo bar on hin Stratocaster.

[@edwardkujawa]

So what is your point?/it wasnt as good as the original Danishguitar player Jorden Igman did orginal in his home studio look it up on you tube

[@iliketowatch.]

True. The Shadows influenced a huge number of kids to pick up guitars for the first time. 🎸

[@roxanavaldenegro9844]

The Ventures siempre son y serán grandes , su música es fantástica que bueno es conocer su historia . Grandes por siempre 😍😍😍😍

[@armandito9735]

As far as I'm concerned,...I learned guitar listening to the Ventures back in 1958-59,...but I also listen a great deal to the ..Fireballs whom I also loved their sound and learned from them as well. Both groups played a very Important role in my guitar playing in my life. It saddens me to see them getting older and dying, but I guess that's the way The Good Lord plans it for all of us ..

ありがとうThe Venturesは永遠です。

[@fincaman2]

8:36 unless you're a Frank Sinatra or an Elvis Presley or The Shadows

[@redflamered]

Thank you, Ventures.

[@Hellbat308]

thank you very much for sharing it

[@no1reallycaresabout2]

That's the Japanese song "Blue Chateau" at 4:11

[@1-shotslinger108]

It is AMAZING !

[@redflamered]

The drummer Skip Moore, never gets enough credit on Walk Don't Run. The drumming is sensational. He never pursued a career with The Ventures and was paid a flat $25.00 to play on Walk Don't Run with no future royalties. He was offered the job but did not want to travel. Howie Johnson replaced him.

[@RobertVeasquez]

Love you, Josie...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@juanventura8475]
