Classy showmanship. LOVE IT!

their Tunes will be played for ever ! Timeless....RIP DON WILSON....you were SURFTASTIC !!

Don Wilson was the last of the original members ..simply the best instrumental group of all time.

It is a picture of the 1990 Japanese tour. The concert hall is Matsudo Municipal Hall in Chiba Prefecture. This picture was broadcasted all over Japan by the national broadcast "NHK" of Japan.

I have listened to the Ventures heavily the last 6 months. Really getting into them. I just learned from watching this video and seeing what people were saying that Don Wilson had passed. At this moment I'm hurting. What a great man and band.In alot of ways I loved his rhythm guitar just as much as lead. Each instrument had such quality. I was also very proud of the band being mostly fellow Washington st people. If you can hear me Don, Thanks for the great tunes. We will be listening forever.

hey no feeling bad, such guys are immortal, their music lives on and they also live on. Of course God must be having a fantastic array of musicians at His place.

Forgot how much I loved these back in the day. They will never get old.

This will never get old, But I will. Thanks Ventures for so many great tunes.

The Ventures...one of the best ! love these guys.

Rest In Peace Don. I've loved this song since it came out, back when I was 3. My 6 year old son loves it too.

RIP Don, thanks for the memories. Started surfing in 64'.

Love the Ventures, they along with other surf music groups were inspirational in our surfing days. The music still brings back memories of summer days when we surfed our Malibus at Narrabeen beach Australia. Thanks for sharing....God Bless.

Rachel Olvera Ortiz, "Walk Don't Run" song is 58 years old. It was already old music when you were born.

Don Wilson was one helluva rhythm guitarist.

I'm 69 and play bass and guitar, these guys were Gods to me when I was a kid, I can still play all these tunes.

I looks like these four gents were genuinely enjoying performing this.

The first album I ever bought was the Ventures. Love them still.

This picture is a Japanese performance in 1990. It was broadcast nationwide by the national broadcast NHK, after which video and CD were released. The location is Matsudo Municipal Hall in Chiba Prefecture.

Thank you for clarifying. First thing I noticed was the blocks and binding jazzmaster and I'm thinking; hang on a minute that guitar couldn't be earlier than a '68 or '69 then I see the hotrails in the stratocaster and losing my mind...

Tengo 76. Si me toca ir para arriba los voy a buscar a estos 4 (5) fenómenos, que seguramente se habrán juntado de nuevo para seguir haciendo esas maravillas musicales. Gracias Bob, Don, Nokie, Mel y Gerry por alegrar mi adolescencia. Nunca será igual sin ustedes. RIP.

The Ventures initially played on Mosrite Guitars. Then they started using the Fender guitars later. Mostites were manufactured in Southern California.

Sorry, Charles, but that is incorrect! They started with Fenders and later, after Nokie hooked up with Semie Mosley, converted to Mosrites and all became partners in distribution. Just look at them in their very early album covers and promotional shots and you will see the Jazzmasters. I even saw them in the later 90's and they were back playing Fenders. You might look around and find the biography on The Ventures - search Google... It's out of print but can still be found in some libraries and thru the InterLibrary Loan system.. Lots of great details and stories. KZread has a TON of videos from over the years and all around the world - mostly Japan - that features them and their equipment plus various members, from startup to the current lineup since all the original members have passed away. Note Don's brand "Wilson Brothers" guitars (Google that, too) in later years, somewhat Mosrite like and I believe still available today!

R.I.P. to all the band members who are no longer with us in this life.

So many memories from junior high and high school. They will rock on forever.

I ditched elementary school a few times and remember one of them dancing to the ventures like the bad baby i was being so damn happy to have the house to myself doing my own thing.

Grew up on the Ventures and other groups like the Fireballs. Still as good today as when they came out with walk Don't Run.

Don Wilson absolutely loving what he was doing!!

Love these guys. They sound even better than ever here.

When myself and some mates formed a band in tech collage, this and Apache were the first two things we learnt.

To play the song when I was a kid!

One cannot imagine how many guitar players were inspired by these men,,,and Fender guitars

Wow, flashbacks to my High School years.

Master class.

I grew up to these guys. They have always been epic. They were why I took up the 12-string in the 60’s.

I first heard this when I visited my cousins in Canada in 1969.....picked up a guitar that evening and had the licks down pat in a day or so.....always preferred this version to the other one. Interesting that Bob Bogle is playing bass in this one, and I have seen clips of them playing the other version and he is the one playing the lead guitar. RIP Bob Bogle

As with Charles above, this is, at least somewhat, incorrect! I'm not at all familiar with Don playing lead - though he might have for a short time. Bob Bogle was the original lead player and in my opinion always better that any of the other lead guys, including Nokie and Gerry McGee. Nokie and Gerry were finger pickers while, as far as I have witnessed, Bob was a straight picker. Nokie could do fancy stuff at times, but, again to me, just didn't have quite the direct feel for the original material that Bod did. And he was the guy who played the original hits in the early 60's before Nokie switched to lead. You can see him play the originals in a few KZread videos where he steps up and digs in - but you have to search. Nokie was originally hired to play bass but eventually made his way to lead with Bob's agreement. Check to see if you can find the BOOK on the Ventures.. It will take a bit of looking but I've read part of it...

@@BURTBROWN -- Easy there, BURTSY. I believe you are, at least, somewhat incorrect. If that isn't Don WIlson up there, then he lent his face out to someone. Nokie was a much better lead player than Bob Bogle. Bob's muffled sound was nowhere near Nokie's sharp, crisp way of playing. Nokie suggested Bob's guitar ability was being stretched in leads and Bob agreed and traded places on bass. The Ventures took off after that.

First off, I CLEARLY STATED "IN MY OPINION" ABOUT BOB! You THEN state "The Ventures took off after that." meaning after Nokie took up lead.... THE FIRST HITS WERE WITH BOB, NOT NOKIE!!! (See included photo from early promotional shots) I don't know where you are getting you incorrect information from, BUT it's WRONG!!!! NOKIE WAS ORIGINALLY HIRED AS A BASS PLAYER although when they saw him in a club he was playing lead. YES, HE TECHNICALLY MAY HAVE BEEN A BETTER PLAYER, I just personally feel BOB'S PLAYING ON THE ORIGINALS SOUNDED BETTER - YOU MAY DIFFER, WHICH IS FINE - that's OPINION AND TASTES! Yes, Nokie "suggested Bob's guitar ability was being stretched in leads and Bob agreed and traded places on bass." I have no argument on that... I HAVE STOOD IN FRONT OF THE GROUP - LIVE AND IN PERSON - ON NUMEROUS OCCASION WITH SEVERAL OF THE LEAD PLAYERS INCLUDING BOB, NOKIE, & GERRY.

That'll get 'em. Don Wilson is playing his usual rhythm and also collaborating in unison on some of the lead with Gerry. Didn't your partner point that out? You probably don't realize that Walk Don't Run 64 was a remake of their original hit, but with Nokie now playing lead instead of Bob. You better tell your partner to fill you in or he gets nothing tonight. Yes, they took off in album sales and had another hit in 1968 with Hawaii 5-0 with Nokie before he left.
