God aren't they great! Never get tired of listening to this band.

I am 78y and still remember this when it was realesed

Im 50 here looking to see what guitars they were using love there music found them on the original endless summer movie wich was awesome by the way want to play some of these tunes 😊

Nokie Edwards & I first met at the Kyoto BelAmi Club in Japan in April of 1980. He was just a guest customer at this club, & he asked me to go out & paint the down red after my performance wc we did. A wonderful person Nokie was ! Very famous in Japan . I’ll never forget him & the great time we had that night.

Nokie is so pristine in his performance. His music is like a constant sprinkle of multicolor fresh notes overwhelming your hearing. And their rithm beat takes you to your own heartbeat roots!

They are absolutely fabulous!!! the BEST of the BEST!!!! I had the opportunity to se them live when they went to Mexico City in 1965 and they still sound the same if not better. Uncomparable!!! LOVE them!!!

They were in my time I am 60 yrs now I Love them Gid bless them I am Lourenco Goa India now in India at that time I was in Kuwait we used ti play these numbers

My son who is a drummer this was the first drum solo he learned-and always and still does uses this sometimes as warm up-great memories for mom-still plays this for me when im at his place-WIPE OUT

Watched the entire thing and this guitar has steadily improved over the decades.  It used to be that if you played out just about any where you were required to play many Venture versions of a wide variety of songs.  If you didn't comply, you were simply not eligible to get the 2nd week of work.  Sounding like the Venture was a requirement across the USA for  opening or closing many sets.   That about sums it up.

Mel, Bob and now Nokia, all gone, but left their music. RIP

Super band - have been a fan for decades.

벤쳐스음악은 언제 들어도 신나고 좋아요~~~~

The best surfing music ever made talent no sound effects here!  How we miss this music today loving it!

べンチャ～ズ今でもいい曲有難う忘れられない中学生の頃です、新聞配達、牛乳配達しながらお金貯めて一番安いグヤト～ンのギタ～かった思い出があります、初めは何かいも聴いて覚えたのが、パイプラインですあの頃楽しかったな懐かしい

They were my guitar heroes back in the day. Still are. Never had the opportunity to see them live which I deeply regret. Nokie is amazing.

Top Guitar. .So many . .Good. Vibes. .

We lost Bob Bogle a year or so later!  Nokie Edwards is 81!  Don Wilson is 84... they put instrumental guitars with  a fantastic sound and creative licks and some excellent bass riffs on the map. Every guitarist started because they wanted to play like these guys!  Notice they are playing "up to temple" and  not missing a beat!

I love their music very much I think they Are the best at their guitar playing I also like nokie at his best I will always like their music.

This is the music that I love and that you could hear in games like LA Noire, Fallout 4 or Mafia 2 or at least it's very similar.

LOVE THE VENTURES - but only after the Shadows ,who had so much more feel and personalty.
The drummer , Leon Taylor,   is superb and holds everything together!!!
