King Kahuna of surf guitar Dick Dale unleashes his electrifying guitar sound on this live recording from the Laguna Seca Daze Festival in Monterey, California, on 28 May 1995. Revered by generations of musicians, Dale helped pioneer surf rock with his ferocious picking, thunderous rhythms and unmistakable tone.
