Yuzo Kayama and The Ventures

[Dennisthe Menace]

Maybe ? modified fender Don wilson was playing, Marshal amps, all fender's for the U. S. and Japan made mosrites for japan.

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....
Wrong guitars for each version, all the way around.......

I did notice the two different versions of WDR but didn't consider it to be kinda weird...do I get half points now?

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 LOL.

Hay just found the thred that has the guy that looks like D. Dickerson, It's Nokie Edwards+ Venturemania Surfrider first vidio about half way through the song surfrider. Evil twin yes?

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.

Sorry to revive this old Thread 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 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.
