i must admit this album had me like no others.
I just turned 30 this year, it all started with a Guitarist magazine, surf issue, with a beautiful Fender Jaguar on it, I had to have it. Once I did a couple of months later, I had to play some nice vintage stuff on it, somehow at work I heard the Ventures (for the first time) and loved how I knew these songs but it was all instruments, no attention hungry singers telling us something we don't care about...So from then on it was the Ventures playlist on youtube all day until I got to the Live in Japan 65 album.
At this point I wasn't very familiar with the songs, but that all changed. That album has been on my ipod since November 2011, and has been played close to every day. Some days, I can't listen to anything else, and just resort to listening to Live in Japan 65 for the third time that day.
It's the tone, so sharp and biting, it's that theyr'e so tight (nokie doesn't make one mistake the whole time), it's the drumming (so fast, ahead of the beat)...simply amazing and I have never met anyone in person who knows the ventures or likes them.....but everyone I played Besame Mucho or House of the Rising Sun or some song they would know say they sound 'cool'
Well. i'm a fan of all kinds of music, I loved Metallica, like the Birthday Party, but love the Ventures.
And yes, my most favorite album, but It's Alive is also top 3.
I just love Live in Japan 65!!!!! It's the only music that can make me dance!
