Man,you type like you ain't a day over 95.

The drummer on the original release of this song in 1960 went on to become a 4 star general in the Air Force. Google it and you will see an awesome 1996 clip of him playing drums with the other guys wearing his Air Force blue uniform. I was 10 years old when I first heard this song in ‘60 and bought the 45 rpm record for $1. I played it so much the grooves in the vinyl are worn out. I still have that record on the light blue Dolton label. At 69 years of age, Walk Don’t Run still rocks me!

I believe Skip Moore was the drummer on the recording. Gen'l Babbitt as a 17 yr old was the 1st drummer to play WDR, but it was recorded after he left.

DUDE--It was supposed to be close to the original, which it was. One of the biggest hits of 1960. Check out the original. I hate it when a band changes the songs we loved, just for the sake of change. Rock and roll in the early 60s was the greatest! Anybody else agree??

There's no music like that today!!

Me too. I'm 88 and I still love The Ventures. Had all of their 33 1/3 albums.

I was actualy standing right there on the stage as this video was shot back in 85 , they recorded a number of tracks at this session , It was awsome being there having been a fan of the song and band since early childhood , one of my first records that as a child was the Walk Don't Run compilation , with all the greats like Telstar and Wipeout . l remember it being a very somber feeling seing this group at their age's , back when l myself was still a young adult

Wow! Excellent!I have been listening ventures since my sweet sixteen.Now Iam a senior citizen,but still the ventures inspire me a lot!! Feel like dancing! 🙏

This song reminds me of when I lived in Santa Monica in the late 50's.. Great memories.

Who would have guessed this song was composed by legendary jazz guitarist Johnny Smith? Bob and Don learned it off a Chet Atkins record, simplified it, and made it rock, which launched The Ventures into R&R history.

I bought the 45 rpm record in 1960 when first heard this song on the AM radio. I was 10 years old then and this song blew me away! At 73, it still does, and I still have that 45 rpm vinyl record on Dolton label, but I played it so much the grooves are worn out.

So many types of rock since this was released; hard, punk, new wave, grunge, shred, etc. But the Ventures still rock in 2024.

Great song! I always loved the Ventures style. They were unique from any other instrumental group. I think they have done a cover on about half the songs of the 60's and it always sounded good . Thanks for posting this.

The best thing, other than the actual music, is that they all look like they’re loving it.

this tune never gets old

Một trong những Ban nhạc có thể nói là.. Huyền thoại...thời bấy giờ... Của nền âm nhạc Âu Mỹ. Giữa thập niên 60__70 ...Đã làm thay đổi, hay là một cuộc cách mạng lần nữa về sự cảm thụ âm nhạc của một phần thế giới trẻ trên diễn đàn nghệ thuật âm nhạc... Mình cảm ơn admin khi được chia sẻ về điều này... Chúc các bạn tận hưởng theo cảm xúc của mình...!

i am an eighty-year-young South African boy who, in 1962, went from my home in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa to the Teachers' Training College in Graaff-Reinet, a lovely town in the middle of our Great Karoo. Once ensconced in our hostel accomodation I hauled out an accoustic guitar given to me by my favourite Aunt, and began to strum. Soon, another hostel chap joined me with his guitar, and before the next year (1963) began I had three chaps in my newly-founded band! I played a Framus bass guitar, Bertie Hansen played rhythm, Johan Griessel played lead, and Trevor (never knew his surname) who worked at the Graaff-Reinet Advertiser, played drums. We had an amazing time playing at the various College functions, the High School functions and of course, the private functions held by the ever-so-friendly Great Karoo farmers! We called ourselves "The Plectrums" and we played for a full two years and had fantastic fun! Not one of us could read a single note of musice, but we mimicked all the rock stars of the day: The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard, and many others, including The Ventures, and our favourite was their Walk Don't Run. What an amazing memory which this video has provided! Thank you a million times! It would be fantastic if anyone remembers us from those magic days, and I invite you to email me on johnbeck.bsr@gmail.com Rock on!!!

You know that awesome feeling when you just happen to stumble across a song that you loved but never knew the name of? That just happened to me.

👍 The Ventures are fantastic ! 😎 Rock n Roll will never die.

I just purchased a Ventures Greatest Hits CD. I LOVE IT.

Such a catchy tune and the Guitars and the 🥁 drummer 🎶

Oh ya. 1967 I think it was. Received a Harmony Patrician from Lloyd Center Music..... got to take lessons near our house. The guy asks me what do you want to play? I answered this song Walk Don't Run. He said no you don't and started teaching me scale notes. I only went there a few times and never went back. Thanks for posting this.

How can you stay away from this master players of the wonder years...,the 70's.

Drummer Mel Taylor passed away on this day in 1996 {August 11th} at the age of 62 from lung cancer... Leon Taylor, his son, replaced him as the Ventures' drummer after his death... R.I.P. Mr. Taylor...

A huge part of The Venture's magic was not just the great tunes and catchy riffs, it was also that their stripped-down, minimally produced sound allowed the great natural textures of the instruments and amps to tell the story. So much music is over-produced into a sickening glaze that the natural sonic nuances and individual textures of the instruments are virtually lost. LESS is MORE, when it comes to recording and producing good music!

It is helpful to put this music in the context of being one of the first instrumental guitar bands of early rock. For better or worse this music influenced everyone that was playing rock guitar at the time. And of course the tune was written by a master Jazz guitarist Johnny Smith (RIP)
