Well...actually Martin wasn't present in the first video and he was playing rhythm in the second. Damn I love this song. So much controlled tension. I dig the drums, the bass line, the rhythm guitar, the lead guitar... Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

yeah I know Martin is part of the band NOW...was just commenting on his stylings in general he has been quite communicative with me, and we have traded a lot of ideas and music; have also played his stuff (solo) and his work with other artists, such as BLUELOUNGE and DAVE WARNER (check out his MySpace page for some of this neat cool music, www.myspace.com/martincilia) one of my MUST trips surely is to get 'Down Under' to see this band LIVE once and for all!!

Very eloquently put. I completely agree! I love this song and this band. I just got a Atlantic's "Dark Eyes" 45' that is great! |

Thanks for posting the '63 vid Brian! I had seen the recent video before. Does anybody know if this video is from the "Flight of the Surf Guitar" sessions? The Atlantics are easily one of my fav. all time instro bands. They got such great strat sounds. —Ryan |

One of my favourites as well, the original clip and sound track gives a different feel to the later versions, somehow more raw and reminiscent of the time when it was released I suppose. |

(With apologies to repeating myself on another post), I was privileged to see The current Atlantics play in Nov 07. I crawled right up to the front stage and must say what I saw was quite impressive! Martin and Jim are superb guitarists...and Bombora does sound like a crashing wave when you are standing in front of it —Tim O |

The first clip I posted was apparently part of some kind of BBC news reel about the popularity of surfing and surf music. I've seen another version where a narrator talks over the music. That clip was mentioned on the Yahoo Group. I've heard some of that Delightful Rain material and much of it is not what we would call surf music. Well, I wouldn't. :| I sure would like to travel back in time and see the Atlantics back in the 60's! —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

The original version definitely slams the new one. Peter Hood still seems to be cool though. — |

Has anyone seen this on the net? I've only seen the DVD : The 1963 video is classic - it captures what I hear was the culture (I wasn't there - born in '66), however, I also like the delightful rain version for different reasons; it's up front and personal. You'll recognise the "Long Way to the Top' version if you see it - The Atlantics are surrounded by Gidget-looking professional dancing girls! —Tim O |

I liked them both, but the original version was definitely faster and had more fire. BTW, Clint Beachwood played "Rumble & Run" for me on his show tonight, but much to my horror it was a remake!!! The original was so cool, I can't believe they tried to top it. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

That first video is missing now, but here is another version. It's so cool to be able to see footage of the Atlantics in the 60's! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmMeqid_fmU —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |
