Nice video of the Ventures (less Nokie Edwards) when they were still alive. Their lineup here from left to right arre drummer Mel Taylor of Brownsville Brooklyn NY passed away in 1996 at age 62 from a brain tumor (aka cancer), rhythm and bass guitarist and founder Don Wilson passed away in 2022 at age 88 from natural causes during his sleep at home, Gerry McGee passed away in 2019 when performing on stage in Japan playing lead guitar with Don Wilson, when he suddenly collapsed and died on stage from a massive heart attack at age 82, and Bob Bogle died in 2009 from hepatitis A (liver damage). Also not appearing here was lead guitarist Nokie Edwards who also died in 2018 from after surgery complications also at the age of 82. And so it goes. RIP "The Ventures" 1958-2022 - They were simply the BEST !!!
ベンチャーズタモリの番組にでてたんですか。初めて見ました。その中で1962年から日本にきているて、ドンさんがいってました。早くからきてらしたんですね。最高ですね。

Thank you for the information. I love The Ventures . From Japan.
メル・テイラーが生きている！なつかしい映像を載せていただけてとてもうれしい。
５４年前が懐かしいです
最後のプレゼントですがARIAのジェリーが使用したモデルですかね？この色は市販されてないのでかなり貴重だと思います。
最後のプレゼントされたギターはARIA APのドンウィルソンモデルのプロトタイプです。
実際にステージでもドンさんが弾かれてました。
