I was a teenager in San Bernardino during the surfer craze of the '60s... what a wonderful time to grow up! We had dances every Friday night at the YMCA, and it was pure delight. No internet, no cellphones, just lots of friends having a great time. We loved going to Newport or Balboa Beach on weekends. 🏝🏝🏝
When life was so much simpler and more laid back and I used to listen 🎶 to 🎶 this music 🎶 🎵 growing up in the '60's and I'm still listening 🎶 to this tune on the 10th of January 2023 Great music 🎶 🎵 then and still great music 🎶 🎵 for the second decade of the 21st Century
Cannibal: As did MANY of us. I was lucky enough in 7th grade to be in a band that had a drummer that could play this song. It was a fun song to play, and if we didn't play it 4-5 times at house parties, it was a dull party.
I learned to play this song exactly like their drummer at 13/14 years of age. I practiced for many months and started playing it at street dances in the summer. One day my father, who was a drummer, had received a call from a Talent Scout about my drumming. My Dad couldn't figure out how I had learned to play this song. He was shocked when he heard me play it. My Dad had passed away in the early 80's so this is a nice memory for me. You all wrote a great song and not everyone could play it like you all did.
I’m the drummer for our Praise & Worship band at church, and many moons ago, me and the guitar player were goofing around with this song at practice one day and decided to bang it out unannounced on a Sunday morning. I was worried about ruffling certain parishioner’s feathers; however, everyone - from 8 to 80 - loved it! Love you & your channel and thanks for posting this wonderful clip. - Clay -
The Surfaris, Ventures, Fantastic Baggies and of course, the Beach Boys. They defined it. For a few short years, we were all surfers....in places like Kansas, Iowa.... Yet another blast from my youth, Joe!
Not often that I hear a live performance equal or surpass the original recording, but they absolutely nailed it! Thanks Joe for another awesome piece of history!💫
I love how Bob Berryhill nails that guitar bridge at 2:20 into the next drum part before they re-enter the main melody. That bridge/interlude was always my favorite part of the song and Bob does it justice. Nice going, guys.
An all time classic for sure and its great that Bob and his family are still performing. I love your interviews but its cool to see performances too. I bet you have a bunch. Thanks Joe 👍🏻😎
Our 5 pc band used to play this at dances in 68/ 69. The teens loved it . The band was called DEDICADED CHOICE. It was in Chelmsford Ontario Canada . Good memories.
I wasn't sure if the safaris was studio musicians or a actual band, I googled it so I could act like I already knew, the reason why I even brought it up was because you usually discuss the latter, thanks Joe, it reminded me of those old goofy back movies that I seen as a kid in the 70s, which the movies were from the 60s but I caught them growing up and I just went back in time!!
"Back in the Day", to be accepted as a Garage Band Drummer, regardless of the Band's direction- Soft or Hard Rock ... Funky R&B or Psychedelic Rock. Unless you were able to play the Drum Part of 'Swipe Out', You were Not taken seriously. It was every Drummers, "Baptism of Blood" ! lol
I would go to house parties and the only thing set up in the basement was a set of drums. The kid that lived there would play "Wipeout" with no other music. Everybody thought it was way cool. I too belong to the league of "old bastards".
Hi Von.... yes and not just drummers.... it sounds so difficult but it’s actually so much easier to play that many kids played it on their desk and some went on to performing drums for years in local garage bands and even as professional musicians. Thanks again for watching... Joe
Another Winner Joe! I was 10 or 11 when I first played this at a school concert on my first Drumset, a Beverly kit, and that's when the girls took notice but I had no time for girls for a few more years with music and sports, but it all changed by the 7th grade! Thanks and Blessings!
Joe still has it, no other instrumental in history can top this timeless song. I remember as a young teenager surfing and listening to this song in the 80s, I was a beach kid. Thank you Joe for this timeless song that has touched the hearts of decades of listeners and thank you for the memories, they say the mark of a good drummer is if he can play wipeout😂
@2:42 The man is wailing! Drum solo! Yeah!! Iconic tunes always have an interesting secret history behind them. Thanks Joe! By the way none of the guys jamming here are spring roosters but they sure play like young ruffians! Nice!
I learned to play guitar with surf music, or instrumental music of the late 50s and the 60s. My band played this of course. But because we had many rehearsals at my house, I'd wait after practice for my friends to leave. When I saw the car drive off I would get on the drums and the mystic of Wipe Out disappeared. I also taught the rhythm guitarist to play the lead as it was so boring. I just never cared for this song. But Joe, thank you for putting it up.
Shindig was great... the house band was named the Shindogs... that band included L.A Wrecking Crew session musicians like James Burton( Elvis, Ricky Nelson, John Denver) Larry Knechtel( Bread and Duane Eddy bassist plus tons of classic recordings with mamas and papas, Simon and Garfunkel, the doors, the Byrds) Jim Horn( sax/flute... mamas and papas, Beach Boys, canned heat, righteous Brothers, I Ike and Tina turner, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Johnny Rivers, Garth brooks, Duane eddy, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney) Thanks for watching... Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum I did not know that James Burton was in Shindigs house band, but when I look back on Shindig, I realize it was a very professional, polished show focused on the best of the amazing music of the time. I knew even as a young teenager, that something revolutionary was happening in the music of my generation and I've been absorbed in it ever since. By the way Joe, your knowledge of that music is really impressive. It would be interesting if you were interviewed on your own show, based on your knowledge of music. Go Well!
Pam.... I did have request to do a Q&A series of shows so I did back when the Corona deal just started. If you check you’ll find those shows on our channel. Also I did a interview with a show on UA-cam named The Sessions and another interview with NAMM. All the best, Joe
I was stricken by seeing the drummer wearing a tie with an Hawaiian shirt....aaaahhh...then noticed that all the other band members had ties on too. Living in SoCal and having a job that required formal dress I soon learned that ties were very warm. Soon I learned these shirts worked in this environment and developed a collection. I never expected to see ties being worn by surf culture icons. Must have been that this was a performance for induction to the Hall of Fame.
Choice! Since it first came out in Jan. 1963, (4th class primary school for me) I've loved it. Check out "Bombora" by the Atlantics (Australian band) Sept. 1963. Similar surf music instrumental...
in the 60's when I was stationed in Germany we could always tell if the drummer of a band was American or European, at that time only American drummers could to the syncopation properly,
Are the guys from Los Straitjackets going to be inducted into the Musician's Hall of Fame at some point? This video made me think of them. Some of my favorite Surf Guitar music - plus they're snapping dressers. lol. They can carry a crowd with just their playing - no singing needed - and it's all guitar-into-amp stuff without any other effects. Tons of Fun.
I guess I wanted to say that this reminds me of the PCH all the way from Monterey to San Diego or rosarito-ensenada just beautiful I'm glad it's in my lifetime I was born in 1969
EB.... hopefully we’ll be able to do another induction next year ... anyone can attend that buys a ticket... you’ll know.. we will announce it on UA-cam next time. Best... Joe
Hi Joe! Thanks for putting this out. I came up from South Florida for that most memorable evening. By chance, is there a DVD of the entire show that I can purchase?
Hi Steve..... thanks for supporting the museum ....I really appreciate you attending the induction concert. It was a good one ! Actually they have all been one of a kind events. To answer your question.... unfortunately no... the cost of buying the rights to all of those classic songs is just way too much for us to absorb. I’m going to keep working on getting a few more performances from different award show years that we can share here on UA-cam. Okay... thanks again for watching and supporting our channel... best, Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Sounds good Joe, Thank You.One part of the show that evening that comes to mind was when Steve Wariner and Garth Brooks performed “Longneck Bottle”
Interesting that they actually choreograph their moves on stage. I wonder if that goes back to their beginnings in the 60s? A little hokey but I loved the performance.

Thanks John................Joe
Jan and den
Hmm..The Beach Boys (and Jan and Dean) were more pop than true surf rock like the Dick Dale influenced instrumental bands.
I'm 72 and this was the first Album I ever bought
Very cool, you can tell the guy on the drums loves playing this even after a million times, I would love to go for a beer with him
Still sounds just as cool as it did the day it was written!
They look like they’re having so much fun!!!
Have had this in repeat a lot of lately, can't help but say this song gives me so many good vibes an energy. Definitely my pump up song when down.
Not often that I hear a live performance equal or surpass the original recording, but they absolutely nailed it! Thanks Joe for another awesome piece of history!💫
Thanks Larry... joe
Yes. The passage of time has not diminished their skills. That much they make quite clear.

check out Metallica's Creeping Death in Moscow 1991. might not be your cup of tea but it's still worth a watch

Simply Magnificent Rendition!!..I Grew Up With This "National-Anthem" For Teens..This & "Louie-Louie"...They Sound Absolutely Tremendous!!
I always start my new year off with wipeout by the surfaris.
Nice. Surf music will never die.

Glad you’re enjoying it Tom... me too... joe
And I liked Surfer Joe on the flip side--"He's got a green surfboard and a Woody to match and when he's riding the freeway, man is he hard to catch."
Funny thing - Wipeout was a last minute come up with in the studio tune to be a flipside to Surfer Joe, not the other way around.
@@Nitromessiah It is funny how that happens, didn't know that. But I don't suppose Surfer Joe was too amused. 😊
Get down boys yeah ❤❤❤❤

Since it first came out in
Jan. 1963,
(4th class primary school for me) I've loved it.
Check out "Bombora" by the Atlantics (Australian band)
Sept. 1963.
Similar surf music instrumental...
Listening cozy in bed with a thunderstorm outside.
Grrrrrreat!!!!
If you're not a subscriber be sure to check out Joe's interview with Bob. There is tons of inside info about the song.
Awesome job, what a fun song
Cool :)
The Venters came up with Wipeout. I don’t care who plays cause it’s still a badass song.
Does anyone knows the exact colours name of the green strat? Is that surf green? Looks more darker
Victor… Surf green sounds right. I’m not positive but that’s my thought… best, Joe
Looks like Seafoam green. It is usually darker than Surf green.

Great works. But lets bring on Dick Dale king of the surf guitar. RIP
To me, every song is wipeout....and has been since 1962.
Surf Music nothing like it..
👍
One word in the hole song,but I never seen who does it....
A little bit out of tune? Who cares. Cool as f**k. Thank you for the music ❤
