It’s so beautiful to see the guys practice in the living room. Time have past, but the good memories are still there forever. Thanks for the sharing ! RIP Don, Bob, Gerry, Nokie & Mel.

Love the Ventures. They got me started as a kid back in 1966! The best!!

Beautiful insight into the working life of the best instrumental band in the world, thanks. R.I.P. Gerry McGee.

ここに映ってるメンバーのほとんどがもういないって考えると本当に寂しい😢

This is cool as heck! Thanks. ❤

Splendid. So much music in those guys....RIP Gerry. Bob,

I play guitar because of the Ventures, my favorite band. Thanks.

セッションミュージシャンのみの演奏録音でベンチャーズ名義のレコードを出したことがあったとしても、こういう感じでドンさんが監督してたのだろうと想像する。

レアですね。アップに感謝です。

one of the most wonderful video of ventures...thanks for sharing

Thank you for this. Ventures are the best! Someday they will all have a full-on reunion in Heaven, and they've left us so much great music and many delightful videos 😎

メルさんのドラム･キット 1973年にザ・ダイナミックスを率いて来日した時に使用した ラディック製のシャンパン・ゴールド・2バス・キットですかね?

Iam happy to see my favourite ventures doing good practice. Venture is my school time specially favourite.

Pretty cool....wish there were videos of The Ventures in the studio during recording sessions.

I love this video!!!

thanks for sharing cliverkay

Practicing in the living room, just like the rest of us.

I love that band you now they were all good can't get enough of them. On other band would. Davey Alan an the arrows but that it I have about 25 L P S of them thay would come out with a new one about ones a mouth an I got it the best

Thanks so much for posting the whole thing, Clive! This is a great document from Don Wilson's house in Sherman Oaks California. He sold that house a good 20 years ago to one of the child actors on the "Home Improvement" TV show. That's the late great Dave Carr (from The Fortunes) playing keyboards and Bob Spalding playing the 2nd guitar (he sneaks in a 7 min 30 seconds). Being 1993 they would have been rehearsing for the "Play Mega Hits" album for Japan. The first song is called "Bridge". I'm not sure what the second song is or if it made it the Mega Hits album or a later album. I see all the Japanese Ventures box sets you were telling me about on the pool table - very cool! I see the hello to Gerry Woodage you mention. Were you filming this on behalf of the U.K. Ventures Resurgence Club?

No , I contacted Gerry as I was working in the Film business back in the 90's, and our office was in Sherman Oaks on Ventura Blvd. Gerry set it up for me to go to Dons house and spend the morning with them . I was working on a movie ( cant remember which ....) I had all the albums here int he UK as I had a cousin in NY who would send them over to me. All gone now but I have the CD copies.

first song is Bridge 2 nd song is Japanese Group call it Wands name of song is in Japanese もっと強く君を抱きしめたなら( meaning something like I Can Hold You Stronger) kzread.info/dash/bejne/o5-jmc2EpdmqfJs.html they never record this song on Play Mega Hits CD,

This song title is "BRIDGE when crossing that bridge". Japanese artist "HOUND DOG" is the original song.

デイブカー！！

2:26 Don dance

Interesting to see The Ventures in a private home. Their music sounds quite monotonous compared with their earliest albums, though.

@Orito Kaneko 最初に弾いているのはHOUND DOGの[あの橋をわたるとき]です。 でも、その後に演奏している曲はWANDSの曲ですよ！[もっと強く抱きしめたなら] この曲は収録されていないと思いますよ(*^^*)

Say Clive, remind me how we corresponded in the past - was it over email? If you still have mine - please contact me over another question regarding this video. Alternatively, I'm on Facebook under my full name Marty Tippens. Thanks and hope you are doing well!

Give me the name of the song, thank you
