Wow! So great to see Mrs. Josie Wilson, though brief, in her home, What a collection of interesting "Ventures" awards and memorabilia as she is walking from one room to another. Would love to see more of that. She was truly an amazing lady and was a very important part in The Ventures careers. I met Don three times and such a wonderful gentleman to chat with. Would love to see more video with this. Same for Nokie as I met him three times. A soft spoken and true friendly gentleman. At one of the "meet & greet" venues The Ventures hosted when preforming in Busch Gardens, Tampa, (where my Winter home is) Nokie played a personal concert for me on my Ovation guitar. Such an unexpected thrill to see his guitar genius talent directly in front of me. I met Mel once when The Ventures were playing during 1984 at the then Lulu's Roadhouse in my home town of Kitchener, Ontario. So sad I never got to meet Bob and unfortunately as well talented Gerry McGee.. RIP Mel, Bob & Mrs. Josie Wilson.
I've got a cassette of a live broadcast from their days as a duo... I think it's from 1962. It's a broadcast from a Dodge dealer, and between each song, the announcer is pitching cars and telling people to "come on down!" They play WDR, of course, but a lot of other covers, too. There are even some vocals. Let's just say the decision to go instrumental was the right one. :) Even as a duo, they sounded great. You can really hear the way each guy filled the sound with a combination of lead and rhythm.
Hi Matt B, I still have that documentary on video tape. But I'm still searching for the song: Walk don `t run 2000 because I am a big fan of The Ventures. Could you perhaps tell me on what CD is that song.
Why nobody says that Skip Moore was their first drummer and they recorded Walk Don't Run with him? and then he left the band to help his family?. Shame.
The Wailers and the Sonics played down in that basement? How about the Kingsmen, Paul Revere and the Raiders? or the Viceroys.....or even the Beachcombers from Aberdeen (yes the same Aberdeen of Kurt Cobain)? Wow.....this is PNW Rock History!!! "KJR Seattle Channel 95"
Los Venturoso sonaban realmente diferente ya que en los 60's creo que estaba el rock and roll., Y ellos logran en sus guitarras una magia especial. Gracias por ese 5-0
wonderful little film, thank you! Rock In Peace Don, thanks for all the great times! # guitar legends
I grew up listening (and playing my drums) to the Ventures and still have all my Ventures albums!! Thanks guys for the memories!!
My most favorite THE VENTURES right through my youth days
Salt Lake City coming up soon! I saw them a couple years ago in Berkeley. Fabulous!
ボブとドンのベンチャーズの創生期ですね。若い画面で貴重な映像です。
Excellent ! How could such a great documentary be only shown in Netherlands ! Thanks for sharing! I must watch this over and over again.

Love them when I was a kid. They are great
Los Ventures. Que trayectoria más extraordinaria (Excelente documental) una pena no haberlos conocido
Thank you! It is a wonderful movie.
The Ventures were never given the recognition they deserve in America.
They are the greatest surf band

Actually Don had a pretty good voice. But I agree, I'm glad they went mostly instrumental..!
Hey is there any chance that it's on an album online?
I just found the CD I burned from the tape. Where do you think I should post it?
Gracias amigos vntures son muy especiales 😊
Excellent documentary!
WOW! Great!!
Ventures is my hero!

Nokie does a lovely version of Don McLean's "Vincent" with harmonics.
Why nobody says that Skip Moore was their first drummer and they recorded Walk Don't Run with him? and then he left the band to help his family?. Shame.
George Babbit sure helped
Strange WDR is a German channel..the subtitles are i Dutch though.
BoB Bogle Is My First Cousin
