The Ventures were invited to participate in the 13th Annual American Music Masters’ concert, this year to honor Les Paul and his legacy. The Ventures performed on a line up that included fellow Hall of Fame inductees James Burton, Duane Eddy and Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), as well as Jennifer Batten, Jeff Skunk Baxter (who joined The Ventures on stage for one song), Eric Carmen, Dennis Coffey, Lenny Kaye, Steve Lukather, Barbara Lynn, Lonnie Mack, Katy Moffatt, Alannah Myles, Richie Sambora and Slash. Of course, Les Paul himself also performed with his trio, and everyone joined him on stage for a jam at the end of the show.
