Oddly, when I clicked your Ventures video, it showed up as "Video Unavailable", yet, when I entered the title of the video in another tab, it opened up normally... :hmmm:

Good clip; seeing how bands used to just come out an play without all the visual distractions and high tech assists is educational; note that The Ventures didn't even have stage monitor speakers, so all they had to go on to keep together was what came out of the amps or drum kit...

The bass player seems to have missed a bit of rehearsal for the stage choreography...





<O>

Geez, it must be Friday or somethin'..

:D

Remember, Primus sucks. :yep:

The Ventures were a great great band. I'm not sure if they influenced Dick Dale or the other way around. Luckily, their music can be found on CD's.


Try this one on for size.

The rather tall bass player prominently featured at the beginning of the video is Chas Chandler; he is known for his stint with The Animals, but when he quit the band over money and management disputes, he found even more fame as an artist manager and record producer; while on tour in the US, he discovered an unknown, struggling guitarist who called himself Jimmy James; Chandler immediately signed James to a management contract and brought him over to England; Chas had James change his last name back to his real last name, Hendrix, and shortened his first name to Jimi; Chas also provided the financial backing for Hendrix's recording sessions and introduced Jimi to a friend of Chas', a guy named Clapton...

This would have been enough of a gold star on the CV, but Chas also found some success as the manager and mentor for the UK band Slade, one of the most successful bands out of the UK...

He obviously had an eye for talent :yep:
