You'd be hard pressed to beat that for technical mastery.

And I love the "light show" behind the drummer.

That was recorded in 65 but not released till 66. You can get the whole thing on DVD, I got it yrs ago on Laser Disk.

That drummer sure can do a job on such a small drum set that's fer sure.

There are still real big in Japan and tour every year there.

As long as your scouting YouTube, do a search for Nokie Edwards. There are alot of videos of him close up and you can see how he does some of that stuff. Still has very fast fingers for an old fella...

Here's another oldtimer that is still rocking - 1966: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgCTVtF70K8

Four years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmOxFTJ0EeA
(Apparently, the latest version of "The Arrows" is having trouble keeping up with the old man.)

Back in 1967 I worked at Rainfair. They played albums over the PA all day. Most of the music they played was fairly old.

One day we took a Ventures album in and they played it, the first song on the album was Pipeline. Needless to say they played the whole side through and called us and told us never again....laugh’in, but those old ladies and guys were shake’in their asses while it was playing!
