A true guitar masterpiece. Few songs can match this level of simplicity yet pure greatness. One of the most legendary iconic and epic riffs of all time
the 60s were great. I was 8 when this episode went on the air. I used to watch it every week. Remember the Lennon Sisters, Bobby and Sissy dancers, the tap guy, the lady that played the piano and the guy who played the accordian.
This is rare, rare indeed because Lawrence rarely had Rock/pop bands on his show. His music was of a Europen flair geared more to the older generation 55 or 60 and above/WW1 generation.
At a very young age I was hooked on this show. My mother (maybe she rest in peace). Would watch the Lawrence Welch show. I was hooked. I'm 60 now and love the shows on UA-cam.
kokolanza - it’s not really a song per se since there’s no lyrics, it’s instrumentals, just beautiful music, luv the beat & the guitars!! But played on Lawrence welk??? Lol
It was well done because they were playing to the original recording...the instrumental equivalent of Lip Syncing. There are no amps, no cords from the guitars, and as a drummer, I can tell you that there was no contact with the cymbal by a drumstick during that entire performance. I'll bet the real musicians in Welk's bad got a kick out of the entire setup.
It may have but it was Dick Dale that started it all back in the late 50's. Some call this surf music, others know it as Dick Dale music. Dale impressed Leo Fender so much Fender built an amp and a Fender Strat for Dale. Go check out in the link below "Let's Go Trippin'" it was the first surf-rock hit. ua-cam.com/video/W1gskj1VQR0/v-deo.html ------> Dick Dale dickdale.com Richard Anthony Monsour, known professionally as Dick Dale, was an American rock guitarist. He was a pioneer of surf music, drawing on Middle Eastern music scales and experimenting with reverberation. Dale was known as "The King of the Surf Guitar", which was also the title of his second studio album.Wikipedia
I was 13 when Pipeline was released. I loved it then and still do today. I play drums... started in 1961. I can very much appreciate the work that went into creating this tune. There's a lot that usually happens as a tune evolves. It always amazes me how a song/tune ends up. Because.... when you think of it... any tune... can turn out being finished in a number of ways and it's beautiful when it all clicks and band members gel and something like this is created. This one and others... Apache, Telstar, Teen Beat and Wipeout to name a few ... influenced me in my early teens and before. Fun stuff.
This was quite a departure from Welk’s usual musical fare. But he was open and generous in giving young musicians of the day airtime for their popular songs.
It looks as if The Chantays had to mime their performance as a lot groups did on TV did back then. The orchestra in the background is made up of top flight musicians (even though they're contracted to play corny arrangements for Mr. Welk's TV show). They would probably encourage the kids in the band to keep on because the music is actually good. Pipeline is a legit piece of music. :)
I LOVE this song when I was eight years OLD (1963) first hearing it on the radio. I remember the the Lawrence Welk Show and it was for much OLDER people, not even for MY parents but for the GRAND parents. I bet the folks at home watching this dropped their prune juice at the opening guitar riff.
@@roberttelarket4934 Yeah! So many changes... for every "improvement" comes many new drawbacks. Technology keeps getting better but people are getting more helpless.
I imagine Lawrence saying, " And nowa we have Myron Floran on the accordian doing Play That Funky Music White Boy, take it away Myron, a one and a two!" LOL
Oh man, I just laughed my A$$ off!*!*! I could actually picture old Larry saying that into the old T.V. at home some 50 years ago!! God what a hoot!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!
@@MrTruckerf that started in the late '40s though. My late father was a JG in the USN, and after his deployment in the Korean War, he was involved with the evacuation of the French forces and civilians from Indochina. We just stirred up an already angry hornet's nest in the '60s.
Actually he had great success recording popular music current to the decades including surf music. Check out his record Breakwater on You Tube, it might surprise you. Also his recording of the surf standard Pipeline. In 1967 he recorded Sonny & Cher's The Beat Goes On who had released it earlier in the year. In 1968 he recorded Green Tambourine. Remember that the LA session players The Wrecking Crew (jazz and big band musicians) provided the instruments on virtual every rock recording out of LA including The Beach Boys. Lawrence Welk had members of The Wrecking Crew in his orchestra!
Setting aside style, there is no doubt Welk hired the highest caliber musicians. I did several big band gigs with guys from Welk's trombone and trumpet sections.
this band came out of Santa Ana, Calif, older brothers went to school with couple of guys, it was a big deal around town when it bacame a hit, keep in mind that Dick Dale was in Newport blowing up amps around the same time period, what a time to be there
For all of you who want to dissect this classic tune which has been a huge inspiration for people to pick up a guitar (like SRV) go ahead and have your fun. They were the only Rock band to play the Lawrence Welk show and that is quite an accomplishment in itself. The song is legendary and whatever anyone says negative cannot change that fact!
DUDE ! I REALLY DON'T THINK ANYBODY WAS TRYING TO DISSECT THAT SONG ! WELL O.K. A FEW BIOLOGY STUDENTS MIGHT HAVE GIVEN IT A TRY OVER THE YEARS BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT. L.O.L.
This was the first song I learned that wasn't in the Mel Bay books. At the time it was new and a big hit. That was 1963 and I was 11 years old. All these years later and I still remember how to play it. I'm now 68 and I still play guitar and bass. Think about it, that's over half a century.
The idea of having a P Bass, A Bass Vi, and a Guitar do the parts in three octaves really made this stand out. That Bass VI fast picking those low notes is very powerful. Great idea sounds incredible. I want a Bass VI now
MAN AM I FLASHING BACK!!! I was 8 years old at this time and we were riding the old red "plank" skateboards with steel wheels! COWABUNGA!!! I remember watching this very episode of LW just to hear this song. My parents liked all the rest of the show but not this song. Played this song on rewind in my head every time I skated. Cancer took skateboarding away from me at age 35 but I will always have the music and the memories.
VERITS99 Excuse me. Did you mean the glassdildo by "the gaping rift?" (The question mark goes inside quotation marks. I'm sure, with your education, it was a typo, so I'll not knock off any points.)
Jim Walker Thank you very much for pointing out the error. Yes, I understand that punctuations should go inside the quotation marks. But. being English illiterate, I sometimes forget the rule.
Regardless of the dubbed performance here, Brian Carman had one of the cleanest, best glissandos of any California surf artist and was also an excellent rhythm player.
I love looking at the old school Lawrence Welk orchestra looking at them as they play. They look in shock and at the end the audience was slow to clapping! 🤣
So sad to hear about Brian Carmen. As a young teen I remember seeing The Chantays on The Lawrence Welk Show. Their appearance was not anticipated and really caught my Brother Grant and me by surprise! There they were, in full black and white(LOL), playing those beautiful Fenders! As a matter fact, the Dot 45RPM of The Chantays "Pipeline" was the very first record I ever bought with my very own money! I first heard it on the radio on the way to Cleveland Stadium to watch the Indians play on opening day April, 1963.
One of the coolest and greatest instrumental rock songs ever. The guitar intro still amazes me after more than 500 times hearing it. And yes, the Chantays and this song did inspire many bands and guitar pickers.
Memories are golden forever as Pipeline lives for Eternal !! Music The universal language of the world & the beginning of Rock & Roll , until Now & Beyond !!
Probably the nearest that Welk's show ever got to rock n'roll, though Welk's resident gooey Christian Music duet singer Ralna (from Lubbock, Texas) had briefly (for 2 dates) been Buddy Holly's girlfriend.
i was seven about to turn eight i remember this blasting from the AM valve radio 1 speaker and what a sound people came into my mom`s shop and had a milk shake !
Love this tune! Takes me back to the good ol days of cruising my 67 mustang down pacific coast highway through Huntington Beach blasting this song on my tape deck!
That G-B E-B guitar lick was the best. That was the first lick I ever learned. I thought I could really play guitar with then best of them with this lick! The only lick I knew or needed. Brings back great kid memories. Thanks for sharing!
Jon B When I was twelve years old my father bought a Silver Tone guitar and tube amp and the guitar was a hollow body construction ! He taught me the mentioned cords ! Then I learned power cords just like the rolling stones used ! I just put together the association never my love which was from the sixties ! Enjoyed visiting with you !
Love this song - and the video is such a classic timepiece. I love how there are absolutely no cables connected to any of their instruments, not even the electric piano.
I cut my teeth on this and other surf music. As a kid, ~8-9ish, with help from an older cousin who was in a 'surf' band, I learned Pipeline and Walk Don't Run on my old Western Auto 'Truetone' (Kay) archtop acoustic. Now ~55 yrs and many guitars later, with my drummer wife, we're typically a classic rock acoustic duo. But, I still keep home-made backing tracks of Pipeline, Walk Don't Run, Wipeout & Hawaii 5-0 on my loop. GREAT for switching to electric and playing the leads. ('Specially when we had our casino boat gig. The seas would get a little rough and we'd surf our way thru the medley. Baby boomers & millennials alike would come to life! This music is timeless. The boat has since moved south about 200 miles...no more boat gig...dammit! lol
Seventy years later and STILL a classic that never gets old.
Well, sixty years.
definitely the most humble & modest introduction ever recorded, and introducing THAT masterpiece!

It is a great classic surf tune but DD and SRV version is just much better in my opinion

It's so squishy at times.
The Fender reverb springs was made by Hammond corporation.

This was quite a departure from Welk’s usual musical fare. But he was open and generous in giving young musicians of the day airtime for their popular songs.
Another big band leader who was always interested in new trends in music was Les Brown.

Truly a classic. It is true that every era is unique in its own way but there has never been, nor will there ever be, another era like the sixties.

@@packingten My friend had a '67 Nova with the 327,4 speed. He had an 8 track tape player in it. I think he was born around '50, I was born in '53.
These guys were barely out of high school when this took place.

Blimey! I can drift my mind back to the time when this was released....and still have the 45. Never saw this in England on tv. Thank you for posting.
I watched many a show with my Grandmother, never saw this. It’s awesome.
Back when we had real music, real talent, and real fun. Gone are those halcyon days but never to be forgotten.
Just a short comment !
This was the first song that I
learned on my guitar and that
tells you how old I am !
That G-B E-B guitar lick was the best. That was the first lick I ever learned. I thought I could really play guitar with then best of them with this lick! The only lick I knew or needed. Brings back great kid memories. Thanks for sharing!

guitar was a hollow body
construction ! He taught me
the mentioned cords ! Then
I learned power cords just like
the rolling stones used ! I just
put together the association
never my love which was from
the sixties ! Enjoyed visiting

Love it..!! Loved this way back when...still do...
Hello
One of my favorite surfer tunes, growing up in Southern Calif. in the 60s.
Love this song - and the video is such a classic timepiece. I love how there are absolutely no cables connected to any of their instruments, not even the electric piano.
It's all mimed because they couldn't easily get that sound on a live performance.
Everybody mimed back then.
¡Hermoso!
¡Wonderful!
👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
The Ventures covered his well ... but the chantay's originated it.
I was a little kid back then around 11yrs.old. when i first heard them play that music was awesome. I can never forget it.
Wow I love it....I've never heard it before and that is amazing. Such a gem
I cut my teeth on this and other surf music. As a kid, ~8-9ish, with help from an older cousin who was in a 'surf' band, I learned Pipeline and Walk Don't Run on my old Western Auto 'Truetone' (Kay) archtop acoustic. Now ~55 yrs and many guitars later, with my drummer wife, we're typically a classic rock acoustic duo. But, I still keep home-made backing tracks of Pipeline, Walk Don't Run, Wipeout & Hawaii 5-0 on my loop. GREAT for switching to electric and playing the leads. ('Specially when we had our casino boat gig. The seas would get a little rough and we'd surf our way thru the medley. Baby boomers & millennials alike would come to life! This music is timeless. The boat has since moved south about 200 miles...no more boat gig...dammit! lol
The drummer is awesome, instrumental masterpiece!! I keep coming back - lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi
This song and video performance transcends time and space////
best for its time !!! and still one of the greatest for 2019
many 1960's groups were introduced to usa. mamas an papas, beatles, surf and hot rod music groups. rest in peace mr. Sullivan
My son did a great version of this. I was amazed, he didn't know it he had to look it up. He can't read music but he did this note for note, by ear.
Those were the days!
First song I ever learned to play on the piano--56 years ago! I was 10 and actually had the strength in my wrists to go the distance...
Hello Karen, How are you doing?
Playing the piano stood like that must have done his back a world of good! LOL
