    I think the Ventures version is styled more after Jorgen Ingman's version, the Danish guitarist who had a hit with it in the USA. The song was written by Jerry Lordan and offered to British guitarist Bert Weedon, who recorded it on an album. The Shadows recorded it in 1960 and had a massive worldwide hit with it, except for America. The Shadows never made it in the USA because of the Ingman version. Pity, because they had so many more hits after Apache that were also written by Jerry Lordan, but America missed out on those songs. The US was also last getting the Beatles, they didn't make it over here until 1964 with "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" while they had become superstars worldwide starting in England in 1962 with "Love Me Do". Anyway, The Shadows are my favorite but I do also really like the Ventures, especially their early songs featuring Bob Bogle on lead guitar. I had the opportunity to meet him when my band was playing in Lake Tahoe, NV back in 1973 - he came to see our show and we played a medley of their tunes for him - "Walk, Don't Run" "Perfidia" and "Blue Moon" - he was a really nice guy. I also met former Shadows bassist John Rostill , when he was playing with Tom Jones at the Sahara Tahoe in 1973 - he was also a very nice guy, sad that he was electrocuted in his studio later that year, RIP - Also Bob Bogle passed in 2009, RIP

    I love the Shadows playing Apache and a host of other songs and live, they were always immaculate. The problem with the Ventures seems to be that they are not always up to scratch and there are some bad vids out on youtube although some superior concerts are starting to appear. However it is unfair to compare Hank Marvin and Nokie Edwards as guitarists. I have heard both do brilliant work and would be like saying who is the best painter out of Dali and Picasso. The problem for Nokie is that the Shadows recorded Apache years earlier and made it their own. Nokie should probably stuck closer to the original work but for whatever reason decided to change the arrangement so fundamentally that it was like trying to re-invent the wheel. This has resulted in an inferior version. It is an unfair exercise to judge Nokie and the Ventures on this song. A fairer competition might be to go like for like. Their best vs the Shadows best. And the winner is..... the audience.

    This video is lots of fun and I really like both versions. The Ventures (in my humble opinion) made better choices of instruments and sound systems, allowing them to add more variety and interest to the musical phrases. Their version is very subtle. The Stratocaster is a huge sound guitar more suitable for Jimi Hendrix and Dick Dale. But you can see that the audiences for both bands were having a great time.

    It depends on what you mean by the original Ventures. They started out as a duo with Don Wilson and Bob Bogle called The Versatones but by the time they recorded Nokie had been added as a bass player. He soon took over most of the lead guitar duties as he was much more proficient than either Bob or Don, a fact most of us weren't aware of till the mid-60s. That's Bob playing the lead on "Walk, Don't Run" and many other early songs though.

    I love both the Ventures and the Shadows. The Ventures Pipeline with Peter Frampton and Wipeout with Max Weinberg show them at their best. I love Hank Marvin's tone. He uses a lot of reverb which creates a dreamy tone. We live in an age where every performance by a band has the possibility of ending up on a social media site. I played Pipeline at the Prince Edward Island Guitar Festival and it got a great reaction. I had a young kid who's won several talent shows back me up on rhythm guitar.

He plays a Fender through a Fender amp. Every note is clear. it's a very great recording. Guitarist appreciate it. Alabama Jubilee and I Got a Woman showcase his ability and I believe he plays all three of these tunes as encores to show his skill.

    Blues fan I have heard quite a few versions, but yes, maybe I prefer one of them over the others (actually I prefer Shadows' version, but I don't like Apache very much anyway, I've just heard it and played it too many times - my own version is by the way something like a hybrid between the two versions, but I rarely play it at all these days), but what I was trying to say (but obviously failed, maybe because my native language is not English) was not that you only should listen to one version and then prefer that one. I was more trying to say that instead of arguing about what version is, whatever it is, better, worse, heavier, greener, just listen to what you want to listen to. If someone listens to something else, it's their problem. Or luck. People like different things, why arguing about it?

    I'd heard only the Ventures growing up, and they were incredible, but the Shadows are leagues ahead in this comparison, without a doubt. And I have to wonder if their other songs outdid anything by the Ventures. So many guitarists truly idolize Hank Marvin. Of course, both groups are pretty old now, so it's not really fair to compare them at that stage since the Ventures' guitarist isn't at his best. Hank Marvin still plays beautifully, though. I wish the comparison played the 1960's versions.

Anyway, they are still two very different versions while The Ventures' version sounds too much like Ingmann's version so be considered ”a third version”, at least in my opinion. Even if Ingmann copied the intro (even though he played it one octave higher), he surely had a quite different approach for the rest of the song. I don't think I've heard Bert Weedon's version, I guess mostly because I don't like his style much (someone gave me a Bert Weedon CD many years ago and I listened to it once, but I didn't like it). I know, that's only a matter of taste and nothing more. Fortunately, everybody doesn't have to like the same type of music… :P

    I like both The Shadows and The Ventures. Have had the pleasure to meet The Ventures. Interesting how both video's by the Ventures on here though are both low quality. Especially the Ghost Riders audience recording. If you really want to compare equally, go the Ventures website and purchase one of their professionally shot concerts. I have quite a few. Everybody has a preference, I'm prone to the Ventures, but also really like the Shadows, but to see people swearing back and forth at each other, just shows how ignorant some people really are. I'd love to see them both.

    I checked, and I have and listened to the DVD of The Ventures playing Apache, and for some reason the sound on youtube here seems a lot thinner than on the actual DVD, almost like it's been doctored with. Oh well, don't know what happened here. Now I have to find me a copy of The Shadows DVD, and hopefully CD of this concert.

    Ventures have always sounded thin and tinny compared to the rich sounds of The Shadows right back to the original 60's recordings. Being 71 I have lived with both bands from their earliest days to the present and The Shadows have always outshone The Ventures in tone and style.

    Absolutely. Their playing is mechanical, has no feeling and reminds me of when me and my friends first started to learn guitar. Thank God we progressed well beyond that level. Hank Marvin is a superb jazz guitarist aside from the standard Shadows numbers he plays. Bruce Welch is a first class rythm guitarist and excellent song writer and arranger. Brian Bennet is a classy all round drummer and an award winning composer, arranger and multi talented musician. As individuals and as a combo, The Shadows are a polished and talented band. No offence to the Ventures but they are simple mediocre at best. I have yet to meet a single guitarist of world repute who rates the ventures as an infuence, however, regading Hank Marvin and The Shadows, Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath, Brian May from Queen, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Peter Frampton, Mark Knophler, among many, all rate Hank and The Shadows as their early inspiration. Just listen to Hank Marvins Gypsy Jazz Quartet and it becomes absolutely clear who is the better guitarist, both technical and musically. The Shadows be it past or present are simply iconic, tight, polished and have charisma on stage. Then you have their association with Cliff Richard, the British rock and roll singer, and the number of hit pop songs they wrote for him. The Shadows, its no contest. Sorry if this offends Ventures fans but this is my opinion.

    Well I really enjoyed the comparison. I play both Ventures, and the Shadows on guitar. The Ventures are huge here in Canada, and even bigger in Japan. Last 10 years or so I have preferred playing the Shadows much more. There are many similar songs that you could compare such as Perfida, just to name one, but having said that I once again perfer the Shadows version.

    I can honestly say that I have never heard Don Wilson make a mistake while playing rhythm. Well...I might think of one question I would like to ask him. On an early "Sleepwalk" I think I hear the rhythm playing an F major chord instead of the F minor like Santo and Johnny do it. No really, he's good. He adds to the sound that fills a lot. Nokie when he plays bass adds a lot to the early Venture's sound as well.

    I love both bands but I think The Shadows kept with their original sound more consistently than The Ventures. One reason is The Ventures kept on changing guitars over the years and The Shadows didn't. Hank Marvin stuck to Fender Strats and an occassional Burns guitar. Also Hank Marvin's playing remained constant even into old age. The Shadows version sounds more mysterious or spy music like.

    Just as a last note regarding the Ventures I saw a US band in Germany who were playing guitars with the Ventures label on them as though the band was somehow involved in the manufacture of them. Any information on this? Can't remember the name of the band but they had a 'souped up' 60's instrumental sound - this was about 10 years ago.

    The Issues over here are not of live performance of the musicians but of sound recording /engineering. Things can also be manipulated. In fact, considering the last part of this video edit, I think the presenter of this clip is bias. Thus, no judgement can be passed on the performance of the artists from both the groups.

    There has never been a bigger fan of Nokie's than I am. However, for about the last ten years of Nokie's career, he basically was phoning it in at concerts. Granted, his health was not the best but his heart just was not into it any more. Regardless, in his prime, Nokie was top drawer!

To be fair...The Ventures here were not their best...they usually are much better performers ..... a good possibility is their age...this was one of their last performance of Apache.

    Understood. I'll grant you Hank Marvin and Shadows and Cliff Richards were simply not heard this side of the pond in 50's and early 60's. The Tornadoes and Telstar helped reverse the trend. The Beatles opened the flood gates. The Shadow's "Apache", and later Atlantis and Wonderful Land (all written by Jerry Lordan) as done by the Shadows stand on their own. (My own private difficulty with the Ventures is whether Nokie Edwards is considered part of the original Ventures?).
