One of the only instrumentals that I never got tired of hearing, to this day. 71 now, and still play this and others in my car on CD's that I have made up over the years. Another good one, is Miserlou by Dick Dale & the Deltones...

@@paulyakaitis3352 Thanks Paul to both you and Louis Smooth for giving me the longest lasting earworm I've ever had! I couldn't stop hearing Misirlou from the moment I awoke until I thankfully fell asleep. I even made mental changes to the chord progressions in my head so the song was different at times. One day, it finally ended after weeks, maybe a month. Try this on for size - watch the video of the 78 foot wave being ridden by Garrett McNamara off the coast of Nazare, Portugal..

WOW! He said, "We would like to play this for you now." I guess he meant one of them would put the needle on the 78. Either say you are going to "perform" to the recording or have the guts to play live... even if you goof up in spots. I know. It was done all the time, except some people like Roy Orbison sang live, at least in every video I have seen.
A true guitar masterpiece. Few songs can match this level of simplicity yet pure greatness. One of the most legendary iconic and epic riffs of all time
kokolanza - it’s not really a song per se since there’s no lyrics, it’s instrumentals, just beautiful music, luv the beat & the guitars!! But played on Lawrence welk??? Lol
It was well done because they were playing to the original recording...the instrumental equivalent of Lip Syncing. There are no amps, no cords from the guitars, and as a drummer, I can tell you that there was no contact with the cymbal by a drumstick during that entire performance. I'll bet the real musicians in Welk's bad got a kick out of the entire setup.
It may have but it was Dick Dale that started it all back in the late 50's. Some call this surf music, others know it as Dick Dale music. Dale impressed Leo Fender so much Fender built an amp and a Fender Strat for Dale. Go check out in the link below "Let's Go Trippin'" it was the first surf-rock hit. czcams.com/video/W1gskj1VQR0/video.html ------> Dick Dale dickdale.com Richard Anthony Monsour, known professionally as Dick Dale, was an American rock guitarist. He was a pioneer of surf music, drawing on Middle Eastern music scales and experimenting with reverberation. Dale was known as "The King of the Surf Guitar", which was also the title of his second studio album.Wikipedia
the 60s were great. I was 8 when this episode went on the air. I used to watch it every week. Remember the Lennon Sisters, Bobby and Sissy dancers, the tap guy, the lady that played the piano and the guy who played the accordian.
This is rare, rare indeed because Lawrence rarely had Rock/pop bands on his show. His music was of a Europen flair geared more to the older generation 55 or 60 and above/WW1 generation.
This was quite a departure from Welk’s usual musical fare. But he was open and generous in giving young musicians of the day airtime for their popular songs.
I was 13 when Pipeline was released. I loved it then and still do today. I play drums... started in 1961. I can very much appreciate the work that went into creating this tune. There's a lot that usually happens as a tune evolves. It always amazes me how a song/tune ends up. Because.... when you think of it... any tune... can turn out being finished in a number of ways and it's beautiful when it all clicks and band members gel and something like this is created. This one and others... Apache, Telstar, Teen Beat and Wipeout to name a few ... influenced me in my early teens and before. Fun stuff.
It looks as if The Chantays had to mime their performance as a lot groups did on TV did back then. The orchestra in the background is made up of top flight musicians (even though they're contracted to play corny arrangements for Mr. Welk's TV show). They would probably encourage the kids in the band to keep on because the music is actually good. Pipeline is a legit piece of music. :)
The idea of having a P Bass, A Bass Vi, and a Guitar do the parts in three octaves really made this stand out. That Bass VI fast picking those low notes is very powerful. Great idea sounds incredible. I want a Bass VI now
I LOVE this song when I was eight years OLD (1963) first hearing it on the radio. I remember the the Lawrence Welk Show and it was for much OLDER people, not even for MY parents but for the GRAND parents. I bet the folks at home watching this dropped their prune juice at the opening guitar riff.
@@roberttelarket4934 Yeah! So many changes... for every "improvement" comes many new drawbacks. Technology keeps getting better but people are getting more helpless.
MAN AM I FLASHING BACK!!! I was 8 years old at this time and we were riding the old red "plank" skateboards with steel wheels! COWABUNGA!!! I remember watching this very episode of LW just to hear this song. My parents liked all the rest of the show but not this song. Played this song on rewind in my head every time I skated. Cancer took skateboarding away from me at age 35 but I will always have the music and the memories.
At a very young age I was hooked on this show. My mother (maybe she rest in peace). Would watch the Lawrence Welch show. I was hooked. I'm 60 now and love the shows on CZcams.
I love looking at the old school Lawrence Welk orchestra looking at them as they play. They look in shock and at the end the audience was slow to clapping! 🤣
I imagine Lawrence saying, " And nowa we have Myron Floran on the accordian doing Play That Funky Music White Boy, take it away Myron, a one and a two!" LOL
Oh man, I just laughed my A$$ off!*!*! I could actually picture old Larry saying that into the old T.V. at home some 50 years ago!! God what a hoot!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!
This was the first song I learned that wasn't in the Mel Bay books. At the time it was new and a big hit. That was 1963 and I was 11 years old. All these years later and I still remember how to play it. I'm now 68 and I still play guitar and bass. Think about it, that's over half a century.

Regardless of the dubbed performance here, Brian Carman had one of the cleanest, best glissandos of any California surf artist and was also an excellent rhythm player.
this band came out of Santa Ana, Calif, older brothers went to school with couple of guys, it was a big deal around town when it bacame a hit, keep in mind that Dick Dale was in Newport blowing up amps around the same time period, what a time to be there
For all of you who want to dissect this classic tune which has been a huge inspiration for people to pick up a guitar (like SRV) go ahead and have your fun. They were the only Rock band to play the Lawrence Welk show and that is quite an accomplishment in itself. The song is legendary and whatever anyone says negative cannot change that fact!
DUDE ! I REALLY DON'T THINK ANYBODY WAS TRYING TO DISSECT THAT SONG ! WELL O.K. A FEW BIOLOGY STUDENTS MIGHT HAVE GIVEN IT A TRY OVER THE YEARS BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT. L.O.L.
So sad to hear about Brian Carmen. As a young teen I remember seeing The Chantays on The Lawrence Welk Show. Their appearance was not anticipated and really caught my Brother Grant and me by surprise! There they were, in full black and white(LOL), playing those beautiful Fenders! As a matter fact, the Dot 45RPM of The Chantays "Pipeline" was the very first record I ever bought with my very own money! I first heard it on the radio on the way to Cleveland Stadium to watch the Indians play on opening day April, 1963.
That G-B E-B guitar lick was the best. That was the first lick I ever learned. I thought I could really play guitar with then best of them with this lick! The only lick I knew or needed. Brings back great kid memories. Thanks for sharing!

Actually he had great success recording popular music current to the decades including surf music. Check out his record Breakwater on You Tube, it might surprise you. Also his recording of the surf standard Pipeline. In 1967 he recorded Sonny & Cher's The Beat Goes On who had released it earlier in the year. In 1968 he recorded Green Tambourine. Remember that the LA session players The Wrecking Crew (jazz and big band musicians) provided the instruments on virtual every rock recording out of LA including The Beach Boys. Lawrence Welk had members of The Wrecking Crew in his orchestra!
Setting aside style, there is no doubt Welk hired the highest caliber musicians. I did several big band gigs with guys from Welk's trombone and trumpet sections.
I'm sorry to say I probably saw this on TV way back then! I still love the song. I imagine the Lawrence Welk musicians sitting there listening and thinking "these kids with their music...it just sounds like noise..."
I agree, this is amazing music made by teens in their time but a lot of people then thought the same thing you are saying about modern music. Modern pop or rock may not be my thing either but we look like old foggies telling kids to get off the lawn with that attitude. 😂
Love this tune! Takes me back to the good ol days of cruising my 67 mustang down pacific coast highway through Huntington Beach blasting this song on my tape deck!
I had the privilege of having warren waters as my sixth grade teacher at University Elementary school in Irvine ca He was a great teacher and a hell of a guitarist may live a long and healthy life God bless him !! SFJ
I kept thinking about all those classically trained musicians behind them thinking how inconceivable that people were making a fuss over something so simple.
They were thinking “Why didn’t I think of that” I’m sure those boys are making 100 times the money I am And THE GIRLS Oh all those beautiful girls 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Love this song - and the video is such a classic timepiece. I love how there are absolutely no cables connected to any of their instruments, not even the electric piano.
Probably the nearest that Welk's show ever got to rock n'roll, though Welk's resident gooey Christian Music duet singer Ralna (from Lubbock, Texas) had briefly (for 2 dates) been Buddy Holly's girlfriend.
the best "Surf" instrumental ever. I can remember driving my dad's 57 Dodge D500 at well over 120 mph with this blasting on the radio and my girlfriend yelling for me to slow down.
I cut my teeth on this and other surf music. As a kid, ~8-9ish, with help from an older cousin who was in a 'surf' band, I learned Pipeline and Walk Don't Run on my old Western Auto 'Truetone' (Kay) archtop acoustic. Now ~55 yrs and many guitars later, with my drummer wife, we're typically a classic rock acoustic duo. But, I still keep home-made backing tracks of Pipeline, Walk Don't Run, Wipeout & Hawaii 5-0 on my loop. GREAT for switching to electric and playing the leads. ('Specially when we had our casino boat gig. The seas would get a little rough and we'd surf our way thru the medley. Baby boomers & millennials alike would come to life! This music is timeless. The boat has since moved south about 200 miles...no more boat gig...dammit! lol

How in the fuck can someone dislike this? That just blows me away. Don't watch surf music videos if you don't like them. This is original stuff and it's awesome.
Agreed...I was 4 when this came out. My older bros were surfers..grew up in S.CA. Times were innocent. Why would anyone even smack this down. Lots of TV shows didn't play live music then. This is still one of my favorite songs of the 60's. Great instrumental.
Probably because it's mimed. A lot of people, myself included HATE instrument-mimed (and/or lip-synched) "performances". Great song, but they might as well have worn white face paint.
I'm disappointed they didn't play it live, especially since they toured the world playing it live. But it was cool that they were on Lawrence Welk, the only rock band ever on that show.
Seventy years later and STILL a classic that never gets old.
Well, sixty years.
An absolute, perfect, supreme, unsurpassed masterpiece of euphony!!!!!
definitely the most humble & modest introduction ever recorded, and introducing THAT masterpiece!

Allen Murray It was plain natural in thoes days. many pop fans were rock fans too. And many pop singers were on a rock'n roll stage show too.
+Allen Murray ... I've never seen anything like this either on the LWS
Actually he had great success recording popular music current to the decades including surf music. Check out his record Breakwater on You Tube, it might surprise you. Also his recording of the surf standard Pipeline. In 1967 he recorded Sonny & Cher's The Beat Goes On who had released it earlier in the year. In 1968 he recorded Green Tambourine. Remember that the LA session players The Wrecking Crew (jazz and big band musicians) provided the instruments on virtual every rock recording out of LA including The Beach Boys. Lawrence Welk had members of The Wrecking Crew in his orchestra!
Come to think of it, the recorded track probably has musicians sitting in Welk's orchestra!
Setting aside style, there is no doubt Welk hired the highest caliber musicians. I did several big band gigs with guys from Welk's trombone and trumpet sections.
I watched many a show with my Grandmother, never saw this. It’s awesome.
One of my favorite surfer tunes, growing up in Southern Calif. in the 60s.
My son did a great version of this. I was amazed, he didn't know it he had to look it up. He can't read music but he did this note for note, by ear.
The drummer is awesome, instrumental masterpiece!! I keep coming back - lol ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi
I'm sorry to say I probably saw this on TV way back then! I still love the song. I imagine the Lawrence Welk musicians sitting there listening and thinking "these kids with their music...it just sounds like noise..."
Hello Kathryn, How are you doing?
Great original music made by cool teens. Unlike today’s soulless music with people that simply are not up to the task!
I agree, this is amazing music made by teens in their time but a lot of people then thought the same thing you are saying about modern music. Modern pop or rock may not be my thing either but we look like old foggies telling kids to get off the lawn with that attitude. 😂
After all these years of listening to this song . I've never seen them perform this and on Lawrence Welk yet. Thanks for finding this.
Summer place
Love this tune! Takes me back to the good ol days of cruising my 67 mustang down pacific coast highway through Huntington Beach blasting this song on my tape deck!
MrCudaguy71 first ...tape??...67 car??...you werent born in 50s..
@@packingten My friend had a '67 Nova with the 327,4 speed. He had an 8 track tape player in it. I think he was born around '50, I was born in '53.
This song is still Awesome even in 2021
It is timeless.
I never grow tired of hearing this tune....Fantastic 👌🏽
¡Hermoso!

Hello
I had the privilege of having warren waters as my sixth grade teacher at University Elementary school in Irvine ca
He was a great teacher and a hell of a guitarist may live a long and healthy life God bless him !! SFJ
Wunnafull wunnafull and you thought I was a square !
the youth has left but song like this one has never left my wounded humble heart ...
thank u for a like...
This song is the best they have done and R.I.P Brain Carmen
This song and video performance transcends time and space////
I kept thinking about all those classically trained musicians behind them thinking how inconceivable that people were making a fuss over something so simple.
I don't how 'classically trained' they were. Lawrence Welk lead a polka band after all.
They were thinking
“Why didn’t I think of that”
I’m sure those boys are making 100 times the money I am
And THE GIRLS
Oh all those beautiful girls
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Love this song - and the video is such a classic timepiece. I love how there are absolutely no cables connected to any of their instruments, not even the electric piano.
It's all mimed because they couldn't easily get that sound on a live performance.
Everybody mimed back then.
I was 11 years old and The Beatles were right around the corner.
Fabulous...love the moves, I remember hearing this on my elder sister's Dansette Challenge reel to reel tape recorder in Summer '63
I was 8 in 1963. I remember this song and still love it
Hello
Probably the “rockiest” music I’ve ever seen on LW.....
Probably the nearest that Welk's show ever got to rock n'roll, though Welk's resident gooey Christian Music duet singer Ralna (from Lubbock, Texas) had briefly (for 2 dates) been Buddy Holly's girlfriend.
I think the One Toke Over The Line episode might beat it.
@@goteamdefense HA
the best "Surf" instrumental ever. I can remember driving my dad's 57 Dodge D500 at well over 120 mph with this blasting on the radio and my girlfriend yelling for me to slow down.
When was the last time you saw a band humble theirselves like these guys did at the beginning of the song.....REFRESHING!
Exactly
Completely counter to what the Lawrence Welk show was but it had large weekly viewership...the show had to benefit also
Go back to the nursing home, boomer.
The Moody Blues were pretty good for that.
Don't get ahead of yourself. These guys totally smashed some Welkies later that night and stole their panties.
I remember having to watch this show with my grandparents, must of missed this night!
Me too...lol! My grandparents are the first thing that comes to mind whenever LW is mentioned - oh how I miss them.
best for its time !!! and still one of the greatest for 2019
I cut my teeth on this and other surf music. As a kid, ~8-9ish, with help from an older cousin who was in a 'surf' band, I learned Pipeline and Walk Don't Run on my old Western Auto 'Truetone' (Kay) archtop acoustic. Now ~55 yrs and many guitars later, with my drummer wife, we're typically a classic rock acoustic duo. But, I still keep home-made backing tracks of Pipeline, Walk Don't Run, Wipeout & Hawaii 5-0 on my loop. GREAT for switching to electric and playing the leads. ('Specially when we had our casino boat gig. The seas would get a little rough and we'd surf our way thru the medley. Baby boomers & millennials alike would come to life! This music is timeless. The boat has since moved south about 200 miles...no more boat gig...dammit! lol
Wow I love it....I've never heard it before and that is amazing. Such a gem
MAGISTRAL INTERPRETACIÓN DE LOS JÓVENES, THE CHANTAYS, PIPE LINE, EL SONIDO DE LAS GUITARRAS, MUY BUENAS. PRODUCCIÓN MUSICAL ESPECTACULAR, SIGO DISFRUTANDO DE LA BUENA MÚSICA.
How in the fuck can someone dislike this? That just blows me away. Don't watch surf music videos if you don't like them. This is original stuff and it's awesome.
Agreed...I was 4 when this came out. My older bros were surfers..grew up in S.CA. Times were innocent. Why would anyone even smack this down. Lots of TV shows didn't play live music then. This is still one of my favorite songs of the 60's. Great instrumental.
Probably because it's mimed. A lot of people, myself included HATE instrument-mimed (and/or lip-synched) "performances". Great song, but they might as well have worn white face paint.
I'm disappointed they didn't play it live, especially since they toured the world playing it live. But it was cool that they were on Lawrence Welk, the only rock band ever on that show.
Wow I still like the song. I watched the show when it aired (showing my age)
