Yep, performing live ...and as a mere four piece band, they had a lot to offer fans! :shock:

Oh yeah! :D
This is my record of choice when I feel like playing along to some Ventures. It's amazing from start to finish.
Such amazing musicianship.

Just listened to it in the car. My personal favorite Ventures. I like the energy level of the live performance, and like JohnnySonic said, great for playing along. Actually, if you want to learn Ventures songs, it's a great collection of material to work on.

Its almost a Greatest Hits in my opinion and a shame that they don't perform some of these songs live anymore. I listened to it for probably 3 months then switched because people in my car were getting really tired of hearing it, we'd go through the whole album about every two days or so. It's an amazing collection of songs!

To me it's the definitive Mosrite sound and The Ventures at their best. It's pretty much in permanent rotation in my car.

This is among the TOP2 live albums of all time. The other one is Ramones - It's Alive.
This concludes my report from outer space. Now, back to studio!

this is a great album, although the one I have has a different photo on the front...blue outfits, and shot from above........the photo on the album you've shown actually is a photo from the Ventures A-Go Go album, isn't it?
