Well, sixty years.

An absolute, perfect, supreme, unsurpassed masterpiece of euphony!!!!!

definitely the most humble & modest introduction ever recorded, and introducing THAT masterpiece!

One of the only instrumentals that I never got tired of hearing, to this day. 71 now, and still play this and others in my car on CD's that I have made up over the years. Another good one, is Miserlou by Dick Dale & the Deltones...

One day, it finally ended after weeks, maybe a month. Try this on for size - watch the video of the 78 foot wave being ridden by Garrett McNamara off the coast of Nazare, Portugal.. This is the largest wave ever ridden - now imagine you are the rider and Misirlou (also Pipeline, just for fun) is playing in your head. See if you don't get a big, fat earworm like I had. Enjoy.

It may have but it was Dick Dale that started it all back in the late 50's. Some call this surf music, others know it as Dick Dale music. Dale impressed Leo Fender so much Fender built an amp and a Fender Strat for Dale. Go check out in the link below "Let's Go Trippin'" it was the first surf-rock hit. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iWWb1c2jYbm3gpM.html ------> Dick Dale dickdale.com Richard Anthony Monsour, known professionally as Dick Dale, was an American rock guitarist. He was a pioneer of surf music, drawing on Middle Eastern music scales and experimenting with reverberation. Dale was known as "The King of the Surf Guitar", which was also the title of his second studio album.Wikipedia

This was quite a departure from Welk’s usual musical fare. But he was open and generous in giving young musicians of the day airtime for their popular songs.

I was 13 when Pipeline was released. I loved it then and still do today. I play drums... started in 1961. I can very much appreciate the work that went into creating this tune. There's a lot that usually happens as a tune evolves. It always amazes me how a song/tune ends up. Because.... when you think of it... any tune... can turn out being finished in a number of ways and it's beautiful when it all clicks and band members gel and something like this is created. This one and others... Apache, Telstar, Teen Beat and Wipeout to name a few ... influenced me in my early teens and before. Fun stuff.

Hi

I cut my teeth on this and other surf music. As a kid, ~8-9ish, with help from an older cousin who was in a 'surf' band, I learned Pipeline and Walk Don't Run on my old Western Auto 'Truetone' (Kay) archtop acoustic. Now ~55 yrs and many guitars later, with my drummer wife, we're typically a classic rock acoustic duo. But, I still keep home-made backing tracks of Pipeline, Walk Don't Run, Wipeout & Hawaii 5-0 on my loop. GREAT for switching to electric and playing the leads. ('Specially when we had our casino boat gig. The seas would get a little rough and we'd surf our way thru the medley. Baby boomers & millennials alike would come to life! This music is timeless. The boat has since moved south about 200 miles...no more boat gig...dammit! lol

Loved this song as a kid and still love it.

Blimey! I can drift my mind back to the time when this was released....and still have the 45. Never saw this in England on tv. Thank you for posting.

the best "Surf" instrumental ever. I can remember driving my dad's 57 Dodge D500 at well over 120 mph with this blasting on the radio and my girlfriend yelling for me to slow down.

Everybody mimed back then.

I'm sorry to say I probably saw this on TV way back then! I still love the song. I imagine the Lawrence Welk musicians sitting there listening and thinking "these kids with their music...it just sounds like noise..."

Hello Kathryn, How are you doing?

One of my favorite surfer tunes, growing up in Southern Calif. in the 60s.

Bought this record when it first came out but never seen the group play it live so thanks for sharing.

I was 11 years old and The Beatles were right around the corner.

Wunnafull wunnafull and you thought I was a square !

I had the privilege of having warren waters as my sixth grade teacher at University Elementary school in Irvine ca He was a great teacher and a hell of a guitarist may live a long and healthy life God bless him !! SFJ

the youth has left but song like this one has never left my wounded humble heart ...

Started my obsession with the electric guitar. Too bad they didn't play this live.

Yes, playing the commercial recording and pantomiming over it is as cheezy as all the lip synchs they did on "Bandstand" Great tune, though

Hello

The Ventures covered his well ... but the chantay's originated it.

How in the fuck can someone dislike this? That just blows me away. Don't watch surf music videos if you don't like them. This is original stuff and it's awesome.

Agreed...I was 4 when this came out. My older bros were surfers..grew up in S.CA. Times were innocent. Why would anyone even smack this down. Lots of TV shows didn't play live music then. This is still one of my favorite songs of the 60's. Great instrumental.

Probably because it's mimed. A lot of people, myself included HATE instrument-mimed (and/or lip-synched) "performances". Great song, but they might as well have worn white face paint.

I'm disappointed they didn't play it live, especially since they toured the world playing it live. But it was cool that they were on Lawrence Welk, the only rock band ever on that show.
