I'm 100 years old now and saw the Ventures live in the 60s. I still listen to music today and UA-cam videos at my age , maybe that's why I'm living so long . 😊😅😊
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!
Eu aos 31 anos também gosto muito dessa música e fico imaginando como seria aquela época pois hoje vejo que não se fazem músicas como antigamente. Certeza que muito legal. Forte abraço amigo
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.
The lines Nokie plays in between the lines in the verse absolutely make this the best version of the song! Could listen to it 10000x. The whole band is beyond tight with this flawless performance!
The guys make it look easy. There are so few that can perform at this level live. I have been listening to the Ventures since the mid 60s and it never grows old. RIP Nokie, Bob, Don and Mel. I always wanted to see them live but never took the time. Damn!
Yes, the band is tight. But the lead guitar player doesn't even play the right notes. This is the lazy version. I can't explain it to you right now, so compare it with the original.
@@WastrelWay Nokie Edwards never used the tremolo bar for any music he played. His version made this tune hit the top of the charts for a 2nd time in 1964. I liked Bob Bogle's version of "Walk Dont Run" and" Perfidia" a little more
@@wastrelway3226on the original recording of WDR Nokie played bass. It was Bob Bogle who played lead....and played it slightly differently from this version by Nokie, who doesn't string bend or use any vibrato.
RIP DON WILSON This is one of my all time favorite riff tunes. This 7 year old knew then, he'd play this one day. And all because of Don and the Ventures.
@@markkulahti1877 You will learn it as long as you keep trying. I learned that song when I was 16 or 17. Keep practicing, its something you will never regret. Learning guitar was one of the best things I ever did.
@@ovationsensation I have had quitar since I was a young boy. But never had "time " to practice. You know, studies, life ..But now I have some time to spend while I'm old.
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.
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! 🙏
THE VENTURES !! A TIMELESS GROUP THAT TAUGHT THOUSANDS OF GUITAR PLAYERS THIER FIRST SONGS, SOMETIMES "SIMPLE" IS BETTER. A FEW WELL PLACED NOTES BEATS A THOUSAND RANDOM NOTES IN MY BOOK ANY DAY. VIVA LOS VENTURES, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES !!
Back in the 60's every young aspiring guitarist was trying to learn and play The Ventures. There was no internet, you online tutorials, down downloadable tabs. You listened to a 45 or 33-1/3 record and worked it out by ear, lifting the needle and trying it again and again until you got it right. Show your friend how you play Perfidia, and he shows you Walk Don't Run. Then comes Mr. Moto, Diamondhead, Lullabye Of The Leaves, and so many more. Thank you, Ventures, for many hours of listening and learning enjoyment.
It's being enjoyed by any generations. Funny thing....this is currently on rotation at Legoland FL. Think of how many young generations will have this melody forever linked to their memories of great family vacations. That's the amazing thing about music.
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.

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...
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.
Wow! They look young here. I can't believe I've been surfing San Diego waters for over 60 years. My avatar at the left is a very old DMV photo and any resemblance to a person living or dead is purely coincidental! These guys still rock my life, although I love Mozart, too.
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!!!
I can still remember listening to dad's albums of them in the early 70s as a kid, as well as listening to dad play all of their tunes. Awesome memories!
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
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??
A long Frend (>60) of mine played this song all along to warm up and as he died a year ago i discovered that his big Guitar Vault included 2 Original and signed Guitars from the Ventures and ii got his Collection by Testament. Would never sell them for Respect but decided to donate them to a special Museum when i´m dead too.
I was a young guitarist when this hit the radio. A little while after its release on Seattle's KJR (the hip teen music station), I got a job at the Shipyard in Bremerton. While walking up to the electronics shop, where my bandmate was working, I saw signs on every available surface; walls and stair risers; that said "Walk Don't Run" and I've always wondered if, like me, the writer was a yardbird with a band and worked thiere Having no title for his instrumental, was inspired by the signs. It could happen...
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.
Not trying to be mean here : "DUDE" These guys re-united and had a blast doing this, case in point, look at 0:28. This wasn't about pleasing the original fans, this isnt mid to late 90s hardcore, where if a band changes styles, they have sold out. No, these are classical musicians playing music for the love of it. Let them have this moment in purity, without the negative critique, after all, they deserve it.
Yeah, just check out this version of Hawai'i 5-0 with Max Weinberg as guest drummer: ua-cam.com/video/MxT5sfhP_Y0/v-deo.html These guys are having a blast!
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)
Good god, man! Take me back to being a five year old putting my only record on my sister record player in Sacramento, 1960! I hear this and I'm there! Don't say no, it's the e-ind of the world!!! It ended when you said... goddbye
I was very fortunate to have experienced those days. Traveling from Ohio to Florida in the 1950's, before freeways. Stopping for gas in Georgia and learning that the 16oz bottles in the machine were only 5 cents! In different years we drove a 50 Ford, a 56 Ford and a 55 Chevy. Good times! The ball fields were full of kids every day possible back then. TV was great, even in black and white! And the music...great stuff! I wanted to play guitar and when I heard The Ventures with "Walk: Don't Run!", that was it! Amazing joy to actually play music with the guys years later! You can catch our group The Pickniks on UA-cam, playing our arrangement of Duane Eddy's "Ramrod" at The 2014 Ventures Fanfest. Plenty of influence from the 50's and 60's Rock-a-Billy and Surf type performers.
this is the best tune on guitar, I rember when I was 4yr we had a squardon anniversay at officers mess, this tune was played by 2 guitarists, i was mesmerized the way their hands moved on the wires. Simply stunning
It’s one of reasons I picked the bass to learn. Always thought the bass sounded incredible on this one. Not that it’s hard to play. But that it drive song.
These guys are icons and if you ever get lucky enough to hear a whole lp of their stuff it will blow your mind and most of you probably couldn't learn to play it if you had 50,000 yrs to practice! That guy playing lead is Nokie Edwards and he can still out play most people and he also plays fingerstyle! This video might be from the late 60s or early 70s because the guys all look like this on the inside of the 68 lp titled Guitar Psychedelics. Great lp. Do some research before you make post on here!
The intro played on rythm guitar was the start of any aspiring groups ( okay , bands now ) first foray into the world of music for the paying public. Great to hear the updated version. Such good innocent days
I'm 100 years old now and saw the Ventures live in the 60s. I still listen to music today and UA-cam videos at my age , maybe that's why I'm living so long . 😊😅😊
Are you really? wow
Yes I'm old.
did you see Booth shoot Lincoln ? God bless you ! @@Arcturian1111
100? Really?
Man,you type like you ain't a day over 95.
One thing that needs to be pointed out is just how TIGHT they’re playing! They are ON POINT without a single hiccup
Well they should be, to be fair. They've been together long enough and this is a simple song. As amazing and haunting as it is.
They are loving what they do best, see the faces !!!

I am an old life guard from LA. from the 60 s and this song take me back to those wonderful days!! I love it. When LA was gorgeous, back in the 70 s !
This is the song my parents played when they woke me up in the morning. (in 1959)
Now i'm 67 🙂
Cool parenting
I’m there with you, brother. Just like when I was growing up in Southern California and learning to surf. SO many memories....
i'm 65, haven't heard since the early 60s!
I'm only 65 years young....

And all because of Don and the Ventures.

Buddy its amzing the bass line..
I got to meet the bass player, Bob Bogle, in 1969, nice guy, great bass player.
@@alecfed He played lead on the Ventures original recording of Walk Don't Run, and Nokie Edwards played bass. both were great musicians.
@@nickyjrfanai Bogle on bass really drives the song!
watch their version of wipe-out live in Japan 1966 and you'll see Bob pick shredding the hell out of that bass

these are the songs we learned to play on our guitars when we were kids in the 60s
Yeah
billville111 wow now these are the songs I'm learning as a kid in 2016
lol same
Some of us learned to play these in the 70s and 80s.
And 70's too!!
1:39 превосходная, культовая группа, отличные мелодии, бесподобная игра, слов нет , чтобы выразить восхищение!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Three gone to heaven but left their music for us. Thanks boys.
Unfortunately they are all gone now.😢
RIP Don Wilson. Thanks for some great music.
The classic lineup ! Sad that they are all gone now. Incredible musicians.
This is not the classic lineup; this is much later than that. The classic lineup was Wilson, Taylor, Edwards, and Bogle.
Love this song, reminds me of my childhood. Mom and Dad loved the Ventures and I grew up on this stuff.
Same here 🙌
AWESOME DONG. I'm in my UPPER 60s still love the song.❤
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.

Arguably the best instrumental group ever...
Check out the The Shadows you may change your mind Ned.
@@jeffreyedwards609 I like the shadows but I love the ventures a lot more just my opinion.
You should check out the surfrajettes I believe is what they're called. An all girl group. They're good but I like the ventures better too

seriously, i know everyone has their own opinions, but how can anyone dislike this song? it's a perfect instrumental piece. i love it
To me, the Ventures are the best instrumental rock group ever! Their music just never goes out of style. So good!
Back in the 60's every young aspiring guitarist was trying to learn and play The Ventures. There was no internet, you online tutorials, down downloadable tabs. You listened to a 45 or 33-1/3 record and worked it out by ear, lifting the needle and trying it again and again until you got it right. Show your friend how you play Perfidia, and he shows you Walk Don't Run. Then comes Mr. Moto, Diamondhead, Lullabye Of The Leaves, and so many more. Thank you, Ventures, for many hours of listening and learning enjoyment.
I was 13 when " WALK DON'T RUN " came out. They were great then and now they are still great. Love all their music !!
It's being enjoyed by any generations. Funny thing....this is currently on rotation at Legoland FL. Think of how many young generations will have this melody forever linked to their memories of great family vacations. That's the amazing thing about music.
Breaks my heart to think they are all gone now. R.I.P., Bob, Mel, Nokie, and Bob - thanks for the timeless music, guys!

I just purchased a Ventures Greatest Hits CD. I LOVE IT.
These guys were cool as hell. The fact that they’re not trying to be makes them even cooler.
My favorite group of all time. I learned to play guitar by listening to their records (my older brother had all of them) back in the mid 60s.
My Mom bought me one of the Play Guitar with the Ventures albums. I learned this and Pipeline when I was about 12.
this song still kicks ass today. It's so cool to see how happy these guys are playing this terrific song.
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.
They just got better and better with age!!!! They always played amazing music and never broke out in a sweat!!!!
Old is indeed gold. Feel like listening to this masterpiece again and again. tfs.
one of the best insturmentals of all time without a doubt
I can't get over how much I love how the song switches to swing and then back.
This band is absolutely awesome .Great stuff. Thanks for showing.
Salve, : Una Band a dir poco, fantastica.- Anche se più volte rimaneggiata, rimarrà indelebile nella Storia del Rock.-
Such a catchy tune and the Guitars and the 🥁 drummer 🎶

loucura o século xx
Trop, trop bon!!!!!

One of the greatest instrumental groups of all time. Thanks for uploading it.

Noviembre de 2020, los escucho y recuerdo mí época del colegio en los 60', allá en Coronel y Lota.
Me pasa lo mismo, recuerdo esos inolvidables años del colegio.
I was very fortunate to have experienced those days. Traveling from Ohio to
Florida in the 1950's, before freeways. Stopping for gas in Georgia and learning
that the 16oz bottles in the machine were only 5 cents! In different years we
drove a 50 Ford, a 56 Ford and a 55 Chevy. Good times! The ball fields were
full of kids every day possible back then. TV was great, even in black and white!
And the music...great stuff! I wanted to play guitar and when I heard The Ventures
with "Walk: Don't Run!", that was it! Amazing joy to actually play music with
the guys years later! You can catch our group The Pickniks on UA-cam,
playing our arrangement of Duane Eddy's "Ramrod" at The 2014 Ventures Fanfest.
Plenty of influence from the 50's and 60's Rock-a-Billy and Surf type performers.
They worked together ❤ so well...You to love'm. You have nothing to compare them with...GREAT PERFORMANCES ALWAYS...
this is the best tune on guitar, I rember when I was 4yr we had a squardon anniversay at officers mess, this tune was played by 2 guitarists, i was mesmerized the way their hands moved on the wires. Simply stunning
It’s one of reasons I picked the bass to learn. Always thought the bass sounded incredible on this one.
Not that it’s hard to play. But that it drive song.
That's a classic surf song if ever there was one! Well-played.
this tune never gets old
These guys are icons and if you ever get lucky enough to hear a whole lp of their stuff it will blow your mind and most of you probably couldn't learn to play it if you had 50,000 yrs to practice! That guy playing lead is Nokie Edwards and he can still out play most people and he also plays fingerstyle! This video might be from the late 60s or early 70s because the guys all look like this on the inside of the 68 lp titled Guitar Psychedelics. Great lp. Do some research before you make post on here!
This was the opening music theme for Saturday morning wrestling when I was a kid.
Fantastic!
This excellent song cheers me up every time I hear it!!
Thanks & Cheers!
So brilliant musicians like them, you'll never see again!
It doesn't get any better than this! I watching and cry of joy 🙂
I'm 16, and the Ventures are probably one of my favorite bands... What does that tell you about modern crap on the radio now?
Well, now you're 25, getting any better?
@@tenchanheng9187 Better go back to the books Ten, you aint got this English thing whooped yet.
It says you have good taste.
@C. Blake LOL sorry about that. Hope it wasn't good beer.
Super
Every day listen this song

So many types of rock since this was released; hard, punk, new wave, grunge, shred, etc. But the Ventures still rock in 2024.
Belíssima instrumental...evocando ótimas recordações...
Dziekuje ze ten utwor umiesciles na YT. To sa lata mojej mlodosci.
La buena herencia que me dejo mi abuelo aun no muere pero con esto lo voy a recordar por siempre :')
The intro played on rythm guitar was the start of any aspiring groups ( okay , bands now ) first foray into the world of music for the paying public. Great to hear the updated version. Such good innocent days
Nice song I like this musical instruments used by the ventures god bless you congratulation
They're great mentors or missionaries of Japanese popular music.
