WoW, that's a good observation right there! What hit me kinda weird was Yuzo and band playing
WDR 1960 version with Mosrites....and the Ventures playing WDR '64 version....with Fenders.... :shock:

Hay guy's

I've watched so many of the se vids of the different bands playing, that I thought that I might have seen Deek Dickerson playing back up guitar in one of them. Correct me if I'm wrong but it sure looked like him, or maybe evil twin :twisted: :twisted: LOL.

Hay Dennis, there was another change to the music also, the Ventures added a few drum strokes with electronic drums I'm sure you caught that. :lol: :lol:

Sorry to revive this old Thread :D but I saw this Yuzo Kayama video of him playing Black Sand Beach. I notice they are all playing Teisco guitars with Takeshi Teriuchi playing a monkey grip Teisco. Even the Drummer is playing a Teisco drum kit :shock: Teisco must have produced the movie to sell their guitars. I think Both Yuzo Kayama and Takeshi Teriuchi normally played Mosrites during this period.

All I can say is Wow and Wow! The two versions of Caravan are smokin! Interesting to hear Yuzo playing the Nokie licks while Jerry does his own thing - those pedal steel fills are gorgeous. All the drummers were great but I especially liked the last guy in the 2nd video with the suit and mustache - he looked cool and really grooved.
The Black Sand Beach video was fun too. I wouldn't mind having a monkey-grip Teisco. thanks for posting.
