These are great. Thanks. And it seems everyone is sharing Pipeline with Peter Frampton. I can never get enough of Don Wilson's palm-muted glissandos.

Thanks for posting Chuck. The dual drums of Mel Taylor and Max Weinberg on Wipeout are great, and Jeff Baxter's steel guitar on Sleepwalk is priceless.

No time to watch these yesterday when I first saw this come up and admittedly, I'd probably have not made it a point to go searching for them but TuneFan's comments caught my eye and I'm glad they did.
Those 2 (Wipeout & Sleepwalk) were really great! Thanks TuneFan!
I may just watch the rest now too

I can't figure out where to put this photo so I thought here for now. I saw The Ventures March 18, 1998 in Cambridge, Massachusetts at The Middle East club. I haven't got all of the shots handy. I was using a shitty Polaroid Captiva camera. I got a nice circular cardboard poster that I was able to get autographed. Leon signed his Dad's name and I asked him to also sign his. I know Bob Bogle intentionally smeared either Don's name or Gerry's, I forget which and I made the mistake of selling it on that auction site. I still have a pack of picks and the the photos and also got their Surfing CD.

Here's another one of Apache by The Ventures with Peter Frampton.

Loving these. I never knew them so much, having joined the party after Pulp Fiction. I’ve been missing out. Beautiful playing.

Those are great- thanks for sharing. I just got a DVD that includes shows from the 30th and 40th Anniversary tours and enjoyed it very much. Nockie was such a gifted player and Don is great on rhythm. I even enjoyed his vocals on Runaway.
I was lucky enough to see them a couple times about 12 years ago. Nockie was a little frail, but still could play.
