I realize that this isn't really a guitar instro, but it's necessary for the Apache-osity, and it's a killer breakbeat, too.

Is this Kris's opening theme for Long Way Home?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:09pm
Funky16Corners:

I almost played the Grandmaster Flash version....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:09pm
Funky16Corners:

@WR - Which version?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:10pm
Gaylord Fields:

I remember when the IBB version of Apache was huge on early '70s NYC soul radio (WWRL & WLIB).
  🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:10pm
WR:

The one playing now, Bongo Band, rang my ears as the familiar one but now not sure.
  🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:11pm
WR:

The horns and organ.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:11pm

It's a cornerstone of early hip hop culture and as Gaylord said, NY R&B radio at the time

Our high school pep band also plays "Apache." I kept waiting for their drum break.

Can't believe I did not know Dick Dale's music until heard it on a computer game I got for my son in about 1998.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:22pm
Funky16Corners:

Before Pulp Fiction, unless you were listening to a good oldies station, or were around when it came out, you probably wouldn't have known his stuff
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:27pm
Funky16Corners:

Or, were a fan of Beach Party movies, of which he was in more than a few, golden earring and all.
  🥁 Swag For Life Member 3:30pm
WR:

I knew the song from the Beach Boys album but didn't follow the trail to Dale.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:31pm
Funky16Corners:

Well it's an old Middle Eastern song. It goes back WAY before Dick Dale. I have a version on an R&B 45 from the mid-50s and there are much older versions than that
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:32pm
