Wasn't this from the Countdown Concert with Cliff at the NIA. I remember Hank doing this and also Ghost Riders in the Sky, the setting looks very similar. I was there and he certainly did not mime, it was also 1999 - Countdown to the end of the Millennium!
No, you're all right it isn't mimed... I could only tell by the 'big night out' ending... which I hate. The performance is very faithful to the original recording playing and sound wise- the middle section where he plays the A minor chord with a aggressive waggle of the tremelo was missed out of this video and I can usually tell by that bit if it's the original.
I believe the host is right. The melody has to be good of course, but it is the simplicity of the melody and the way it is played - just enough notes, as the host explains many times - that made Apache appeal to so many. And encouraged a generation to pick up guitars. Why, I could play that, I thought.
That is true, too, I believe for the Ventures in the very early days. Their equivalent was Walk Don’t Run.
