The Ventures – Bull Dog (1960)

A few pictures & the ventures rendition of “BULL DOG” ,with Bob Bogle on lead, Nokie Edwards on Bass, Don Wilson on Rhythm & Howe Johnson on Drums.
BULL DOG was first preformed by The Fire-Balls in 1959 and some (including my self) believe it was also the first surf instrumental to hit the airwaves .

    EXCELLENT VIDEO!! SUPERB SELECTION! I’ve never heard the Fireballs’ version of Bulldog yet. I’ll see if I can find it on youtube. I’ve learned how to play it on the guitar and would love to play it in a band some day. Of course I’ll never be able to match Bob or Nokie!!! Thank you for your awesome Ventures uploads!!

    I am partial to this version from 1961, the absolute original was done by the fireballs in 1958 & was probably the best version .
    sorry about the sudden cut-off at the end, I was using a different method of upload( I won’t do that again).
    I’m glad you enjoyed this & if you have a suggestion, i will load it asap.
