Guys I just heard that Dick Richards passed away and that is why there has been no posts on this channel. He did such an awesome work in bringing out Nelson’s content and now the great man has joined his friend. Please say a prayer for Dick Richards. May his soul Rest In Peace.
@RYKERS DAD 420 AKA FATDABZ yes he is the one who held onto all of Nelson’s tape but Larry Tee said someone else has been posting them so hopefully we see more of it
Is that what happened bro that's messed up I love Nelson's videos even though I was born in 1980 it takes me so far back even though I'm straight I would love to hang out with him and his friends
Thats so sad
Very sad news! Dick did a terrific job with this channel.
God dammit.
It would’ve been sad if nobody ever watched his videos.
78sound or how many horrors are out there as well
It's still sad because he doesn't get to experience the shared joy we have watching them
Waddling Cucumber you’re not as cool as Nelson
@@Whadduphomie says the one named Hassan
asap grit wut
Imagine having so many friends and being adored. Can't relate.
If I made videos like these then they would just be footages of me sitting in my room for the rest of the day.
Laura Sabra he was sort of famous in the gay scene
Laura Sabra and he was rich
@William Byron I dont know you but I love your comments here. Wish you a great life ♥
Ya i feel you
Rest in peace nelson, if only he knew that his video got really popular in 2018.
who knows that when did Nelson dead
@@lilstone9152 Nelson died at the age of 41 in 1989 due to a heart attack
@@Trevor42721 so sad rip
@@lilstone9152 yeah
RIP Dick Richards also he died 6 months ago, no more videos of Nelson now😔
It's so sad that it's been 8 months since a new Nelson video. We owe Dick Richards a big thank you for all the work he did for us. RIP
What happened to Dick?
Dick was his brother wasnt it? So he was uploading all the videos to UA-cam?
Yup dick passed away hence why videos quit uploading.
Oh noo!! What will happen to all the remaining material now!!!
@@itzfatdabz4297 that's awful. :(
Is it just me or does anyone else love the sound of their shoes clacking 😍
Yep 😂
Oooh yes!!
Everyone wears trainers now! No clacking. Damn trainers!
I do idk why but i do
Thankfully not only one
Odd that he focused so much on the calendar in this video. Almost like he knew it would be a time capsule.
MartyrLoserKing he is a time traveler
It was his birthday. I don't think he ever thought his personal videos would on something called UA-cam. He probably thought it wouldn't be interesting for anybody outside his circle.
@@blacktiktokofficialah3691 I have a feeling and a theory that he is too
Admire Kennie dude I was thinking that but then I was like noooo he couldn't possible that's just my conspiracist side coming out... but now that I think about it.. the way he describes everything is exactly like he is a time traveler.
Alexyz Boganowski if he’s a time traveler do you really think he’s dead? The video before his death has me questioning everything.
Sadly since Dick passed no one took over the treasure trove of Nelson's videos to post...he should have left a caretaker of them to continue Nelson's legacy. Very sad indeed the magic stopped.
Ah I didn't realise Dick had passed, I'm sure Nelson and Dick will be honoured again by whoever chances upon their legacy. Thanks for letting us know what happened :)
At least the footage will never be lost, a copy of the collection was sent to a New York university to be archived
@@MrShedinthepeg NYU's Fales Library & Special Collections, to be precise.
I wonder if there are more videos that he didn’t upload? I wish we had more content 😢
@@kiona1816 I'd love to see more too
RIP Dick Richards. Thank you for these wonderful videos.
What happened to dick ?
@@Dujuan_Thomas he died
@@mysteriousman6945 obviously, I asked what happened to him lol
Dujuan Thomas look hate those type of people who spill the obvious
@@mysteriousman6945 cause?
It would be great if a student at NYU would continue the Late Mr. Richard's work since his passing. NYU has Nelson's entire tape collection, they should make it a class project and whatever revenue the channel could be donated to a cause that Nelson might have supported.
I'm lying in bed bored on a Friday night too exhausted from work to even think about going out, so I get on UA-cam and see where it takes me. Not sure how stumbled across these videos, but I can honestly say I'm hooked now. I had to Google Nelson Sullivan because I've never heard of him before today. This man was a genius. I'm not sure I'll ever make it out to NYC, but as I rest here in my bed in CA, Mr. Sullivan has provided me with a glimpse of what life once was back in one of the greatest cities in the world. 👏🏼 Bravo, to whoever took the time to upload these. 👍
RonBurgundy209 Folks like yourself with what is clearly good taste are in shortly supply and desperately needed here in NYC. We Welcome your Visit!
The man who took the time to upload these videos was Dick Richards who recently passed away
@Vise Versa-VV Really?!
@Slava Gorbunov makes sense. There has been no new content since then
@@hatednyc thank you for your welcome visit to RonBurgundy
The sound of Nelsons shoes as he walks is soo relaxing, along with the soothing sounds of the city night life. Nelson was such an artist lol. for real tho
The echos of the end of another night in the city.
The sound of confidence.
Nelson makes todays vloggers lame.
Zyklon B how
Maybe because he is genuine in his vlogs and doesn't need to hype shit up every 2 seconds by doing abnormal stuff. It makes you appreciate the vlog as it is, simple yet interesting
And you don't have endless plugs for Blue Apron or what have you (although I know why vloggers have to do that).
Then leave u bum
Frank Power couldn’t have said it better
When this channel stopped uploading I thought (perhaps naively) that it was taking a break or maybe Dick had just uploaded all the tapes. I'm only just realising that Dick had also passed. I really hope that the rest of Nelson's tapes can be preserved in some form. As a volunteer archivist I believe these videos deserve to be part of the US library of congress for giving all of us a human look into the world of the LGBTQ+ community during the 1980s. I'm so eternally thankful for the work Dick Richards has done.
I absolutely agree. Also, CAN ANYONE confirm if this collection has been turned over to an archive or a museum or film depository of some kind after the passing of Dick Richards? I would hate for the videos to be lost forever or just discarded. Anyone have any info on the whereabouts of the videos today? There must be more that was not uploaded to UA-cam.
@@mjg239 Nelson Sullivan (March 15, 1948 - July 4, 1989 [aged 41]) was an American videographer. He is regarded as one of the first people to pioneer vlogging. Nelson had started recording videos of his life sometime in May 1983, and documenting New York City as it was in the mid-to-late 1980's.
His most famous video is his McDonalds tape, which was recorded in 1989. Nelson continued to recorded videos until his final one, which he had made on the day before his death on July 3, 1989. On July 4, 1989, Nelson died in the early hours of the morning due to a heart attack. Before Nelson died, he planned to have a TV show dedicated for his personal home videos.
In 2008, Dick Richards and many other people had wanted to preserve Nelson's tapes and share to upload them onto UA-cam. On December 4, 2008, Dick and his friends had created a channel dedicated to Nelson's recordings, for all users on UA-cam to see.
Legacy
Regarded as one of the first vloggers by many people, he has been praised by many because of the well-thought documentation of his life in the 1980's, which was extremely uncommon back then among other people. Nelson's style of videos were very reminiscent of how people vlog today in the modern world.
A few copies of his collection exist, namely being Fales Library in NYC.
Im 60 years old. I wonder what I'm out there doing on that evening. I was probably out doing something. I love these videos.
Crazy to imagine deciding to document your birthday for the hell of it, and decades later, after you’ve passed on, a hundred thousand people watched it.
Today is March 15, 2020 and Nelson would have been 72 years old. Happy Birthday Nelson! I discovered Nelson’s videos little over a year ago. I have watched many of them and I got plenty more to watch. I have gotten to know you and your friends especially Dick Richards. I know both of you are together as friends in Heaven. Rest In Peace guys.
He’s birthday is coming up now it’s 2023 now he’s gonna turn 75 but for right now he’s 74
Hearing him get voice messages from friends makes my heart melt especially the happy birthday song
I keep coming back to this channel, hoping that someone may have picked up where Dick left off. So sad to see it end like this. May Dick and Nelson both rest in peace.
He would have been 71 by now.
@Winterhold is he dead ??
@@auapc2441 Yes unfortunately at least that's what everyone is saying
he died in 1989 on July 4th from a heart attack. His last vlog was on July 3rd, where he goes on the pier with his dog.
@@MS-hl4dr bad luck
Now he would have been 72 as of March 2020.
A normal man living a normal life. A life that is only truly important to only a handful of people and a life that meant the world to himself... Respect. Thank you for these videos. They are truly humbling.
Rest in Peace Dick and Nelson, you both brought a light of the 80s and it shined so brightly.
I was born in 1999. Wish I had a time machine to go back in time and experience the 80s and 90s. People seemed much more connected and loving back then.
Bye Felicia no phones
Bye Felicia No not really, the Cold War was still going on and afterwards the Gulf War erupted and 1990 to 2001 was hell. Even after that. Not worth going back and never should, just keep going forward.
Me too July 4th 1999
1999 too we barely made it Lol Glad I didn’t have a phone or computer til I was 12
@@richardaguilar2664 and what age would you say would be a 'bad' age to begin using computers and phones then??
Brought a tear to my eye, he was such a sweet soul
RIP Nelson Sullivan, 04/July/1989 30 Anniversary. Today 04/July/2019❤️❤️❤️
Goodbye Dick...thank you for these treasures. I hope you are living in a wonderful new world now that we can't begin to imagine. With Nelson and all your other friends.
The voicemails!! ❤️ like omg so REAL!! Genuine communication... people just send text now days to wish you a good day ... 😂 lmao so amazing to me to watch his videos
People also faxed and paged and emailed, and car phonex
Lynnelle Murrell ig texting was around back then, they would have done it instead.
Just the way it goes.
Happy 74th Birthday, Nelson. Thanks for all your videos and for being a beautiful soul.
March 15, 2022
These videos deserve SO MUCH MORE ATTENTION! It's amazing how these vlogs still hold up. I was born 1990 and these videos still make me nostalgic.
I love Nelson’s videos. They are comforting in a weird way. It’s fun to just watch a random one every now and then and feel like you’re in another place, another time.
This channel brings a weird peace to me. this is time traveling. RIP
For me it’s the opposite it’s depressing idk y 😢
R.I.P. nelson.....i was 7 yrs old in 87 listening to tiffany and go gos
hey nelson, hi from 2024
every now and then I watch your vids to get inspired and just to travel back in time
I send you a big hug wherever you are
I'm so sorry but he is no longer with us unfortunately
@@ThatDistantShore I know in fact I written (wherever you are) RIP
Sometimes I come here to remember how it used to be. Thank you
So many years have passed ..
If only Nelson knew how much, and how many, people love him. He was beautiful inside and out.
I hate UA-camrs & bloggers because they're so shallow and fake. Despite being surrounded by vain, shallow, fake people, Nelson was (or at least seemed to be) so real. So warm and personable. I wonder if he had friends that were real like he was.
I would have loved to have known someone like him, who knew where the party was but did it responsibly and still worked hard. Who was still caring and kind even when surrounded by fakes.
I may get hate for this, but I hope he had real friends who didn't just care about the parties. Beautiful people like himself.
I'm so sad right now, but watching Nelson and hearing his beautiful, soothing, comforting voice gives me a brief escape from my tragedies.
Amen. I much prefer Nelson's videos by himself or back home in Kershaw, South Carolina. He wasn't interacting with all the blowhards he did in the drag queen scene.
This is where I grew up, I was a toddler when he filmed this. I remember how the area used to look, I miss it so much. It's nothing like it was and will never be the same. That quiet little area in the meat packing district, is now for the insanely rich. Tons of clubs and designer shops, more resident buildings are up... Tourist flock to the area like crazy... The charm is gone. I miss when everyone knew one another in the area, this is the NYC I knew so well. Not like today... Nelson's place still has the original door and the vine he planted, it's a beautiful piece of our city's history. People take photos of the outside not even knowing about Nelson or the club kids stories. It's just a beautiful old sight. I fell in love with the man a year back and often come back to watch the things I used to see growing up. I live on 9th Ave now and am only a few blocks away from his old home. My family used to live on 17th between 9th and 10th Ave. We used to see the club and drag kids hanging out all the time. Some were family friends. They are what made me feel good about growing up and expressing myself in a way the not so normal person would. Rest in peace to dick. I hope someone can continue posting these. I feel like I am watching a good friend's home videos, I never want them to end.
I live in Maryland and thought of driving to visit his home. It's apparently only a 3 1/2 hr drive. Woah I lived and grew up there
Happy birthday to you Nelson❤🎉😢
The reason why Nelsons videos aren't being uploaded anymore is because Dick Richards (Nelsons best friend since childhood until Nelson passed) died. He owned the rights to Five Ninth Avenue which converts and uploads Nelsons home videos. He died 9 months ago from Luekemia.
So WHO will upload them now?
@@Rover-gg8jj no one. The videos most likely went to family and friends. RuPaul maybe but idk if he even has them.
Michael I think he might have them. He was very close to Nelson...it’s just up to him if he wants to continue uploading them but he probably doesn’t have time
@@andrew881000 RuPaul probably wouldn't care.
Michael yea that’s my thoughts also which is unfortunate. Money and fame really do make you lose sight of where you came from and who brought you up.
Man somebody please upload the rest of these. I've become attached to Nelson over the past few years watching his videos. May he and Dick rest in peace..:( I'm sad. NYU owns them right? C'mon can we get someone to upload? Whay about his one friend that has a UA-cam channel? I'm saddened. I look forward to these. We should start a petition to get someone to post them. What about Michael Alig or his friend that had the pop group. He has a UA-cam channel. I forget his name right now. I think Larry T??? I really would buy these.
I just started watching his videos. I’m already attached and saddened by his journey.
@@jvo8068 i just started rn, its so interesting to see all of this
glad that they are both together again up in heaven ❤️🙏🏼
Heaven is fake
I am so happy to have found Nelsons videos, I originally was scouting UA-cam for any info about 80's NYC and came across Nelson. Being a native New Yorker my parents told me about how dangerous and scary the 80's were, but Nelson showed me a whole new side to that decade. He seemed like such a down to earth, genuine and warm human being. He gave me the historical glimpse I was looking for and much more. I am so happy I came across him and his real content, this inspires me to create and increases the love I have for my city. Now when I go to his house in the Meatpacking District I feel a little choked up knowing the history that took place at that house.
Thank you for sharing.
Sharing is caring ♡
Blackout was happy to greet Nelson with a birthday greeting.
One of the reasons why I celebrate my birthday all month long. I get to see those that wanna be with me but can't at that moment.
Now Dick is gone...at 71... I hope there is some one else left behind 5/9ave ........................
I actually saw a video recently that a guy from UK, I think UK, put up. He is a huge fan of Nelson's and he took pictures of the outside Nelson's old house. To me it looked very much the same..even the vine is there! The guy from UK got permission to go inside in another video and now the 3 story house is an art gallery. I really liked the Video Nelson's fan uploaded. I put a link for those that have not seen it. I hope it is okay i put it here. ua-cam.com/video/SPW1G1JLy64/v-deo.html
4 years later and unfortunately no one
@@xdaydreaminx I can't believe it with all the power and mad money LGBT don't care about it's own history 😬 , it just clearly shows what they all about.
That does these videos have to do with that? @@alexkastano96
I am enamored with this man. He captures the beauty of everyday life and glimpses of an era that has passed. I was so saddened to hear he passed away so young. I hope he knows that he has so many fans that love his videos.

Watching from Chicago.... Thanks again! Time capsule
For those who don't know yet, the friend that uploaded these videos was Nelsons friend Dick Richards, he sadly passed away recently from leukemia, Dick is in many of these videos, he lived in Atlanta at the time, feeling really sad for his Husband and the rest of his family & friends, he was a great friend to Nelson until the end, it would be wonderful if we could all keep his family & friends in our prayers or send good thoughts, or perhaps leave a comment, maybe they will see it, and bring some comfort knowing we care and appreciated what Dick did for us, without him most of us would of never found Nelson or Dick for that matter, he was a gentle soul ... rip Dick Richards.
thank you for posting this. i was wondering why the uploads stopped. so sad to hear of dick's passing. what a key contributor to not just celebrating nelson's life, but documenting nyc in the 80s. much love to his family during this time. perhaps dick and nelson are off together in heaven now frolicking in the clouds.
How do you know, there is no evidence
The answering machine and the cat eating a page from a magazine! Random lovely snippets of life gone by
I imagine Nelson and blackout are still home , both looking out the window watching life go by
We miss you Nelson and your wonderful videos. Thanks again for making such great vlogs
This man is a freaking legend
Midnight tonight will be July 4th 2021. Marking 32 years that Nelson died to the day. 32 years ago on July 4th 1989, I was a 12 year old kid, and happened to be in NYC the day Nelson died . I want to thank him for these wonderful videos that take me back to a precious time that will never return. See you soon! Nelson the original vloger!!!
RIP Dick Richards ❤️ Thank You! for all the Wonderful Uploads I will miss this channel...
You were not alone on you’re birthday it just I’m 30 years late
THIS- EVERY minute- should be in the Library of Congress❤❤
Discovered this channel around a year and a half ago and I have to say when I found this it was lockdown, despite their being so much other content on the internet I found that Nelson's video was more entertaining and calming to watch it's so interesting to see America in the 80s, I'm from the uk and I'm a 2000s kid, Nelson may've spent the night of his 39th birthday alone but we're all here now RIP
Nelson was born way before his time. He would have loved SM. To share all he could. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this channel. It’s a glimpse into the 80’s and 90’s.
I wonder who lives in his home now.
This video is kind of the perfect bittersweet end to the series of his life encapsulated in time. I mean it's seriously poetic. The ending of his day listening to the answering machine, a relic of the past, as he bids us adieu before the rising of dawn. Anyone who has ever walked around LAAAATE night in NYC in the village or meat packing district particularly back in those days or even to the late 90s early 00s as I remember it, knows this eerie cold silence that falls upon the city before the buzz of morning begins. It feels lonely and otherworldly in the city that never sleeps. His life was a party. And in the end, there is always silence and the walk home to your own little quiet corner of the world. Brilliant.
Comes July the 4th and I always remember you. You left this world too soon, Nelson. Such an inspirational and creative human being. Wish you had lived to see how ahead of your time you were.
I am so very grateful for these videos. I really adore Nelson and cherish the good fortune of living in a time when we can be a part of his world of wonder, by watching his body of work and the information he so adamantly desired to share with present and future generations. It's truly a gift he has given us, and a gift you have delivered to us. Thank you so very much, Mr. Coddington.
I would also like to ask if you have a business email address where I might be able to ask you a few questions?
@Bill Gates Sadly, I'm aware that Dick Richards passed away this month. Robert Coddington is Nelson's archivist and was a good friend of Dick's. He also runs this channel, and I imagine will continue to do so now that Dick has passed away.
I thank you for responding, regardless. You're sweet to do so. I'm so sad that Dick passed away, but I imagine if there is an afterlife, Nelson is happy to be reunited with his best friend. 💘
My grandpa died in 95 before I was born, so it’s cool seeing a video in time when he was alive.
Nelson’s videos always leave me wonderstruck. I keep coming back to see if any new videos have been uploaded but I suppose this is the end. Thank you Dick for introducing Nelson to the world.
There's still tons of footage left. NYU's Fales Library now has Nelson's video collection. Remains to be seen what they'll do with it.
I recently stumbled on to this channel researching the nightlife of NYC in the 80s and 90s. One thing led to another and I saw some vids on Michael Alig. This is how I found Nelson. I just found out earlier he died at just 41. Even though I’m straight, which really has nothing to do with anything really, I’m fascinated with Nelson’s videos. He was such a kind gentle soul and I wish I met him even though I was just 14 when most of these were made. He was WAY before his time and the first pre UA-cam blogger. Thanks for all of your work Nelson and I’m sure your vlogging in Heaven annoying all the angels!!!
👍 *_but why was his cat eating newspaper?_*
Because there was nothing good on the television?
As soon as I saw that, I scrolled to the comments and yours was the first one I saw. Do cats eat papers?
Sure if they're hungry then they all eat anything even their babies
Hunger is a disease and it's only medicine is food
Daniel Marcil your cat bit me
With cable you got 40 channels and nothing to watch
I was born in June 1987....I dont know how I came across this channel but I love these videos...a glimpse into the past....its bitter sweet to watch...there is something gut wrenching about this video...life takes crazy turns
I just heard Dick Richards who was posting Nelsons Videos passed away last week. RIP Mr Richards💔💔💔 Thankyou for all your work you have done for this channel ❤ I wonder what will hapeen to this channel now???
RIP dude. Thanks for showing us around the 80s.
Nelson & the 80s may be gone, but they are not forgotten.
It’s been awhile, but I’m back, re-watching all of his videos. What a legend. I know his soul is at eternal peace in paradise. 🥰🕊️
Love the rewinding of the tape to listen to his voicemails!
That cat eating paper at the end cracked me up 😀
The poor cat is starving ...and it's craking you up? Well I hope you don't have animals
@@edmundpower1250 I have a few dead animals, I do love taxidermy. Also I take it you have never had a cat before.....They do that when they are bored. Don't get offended over nothing and maybe grow up a bit before going back on the Internet or become better informed, you have a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips.....don't be stupid now ☺
My dog loves to rip up paper. She will find some and start throwing it up in the air in front of us, ripping it and eating some if we don't get it fast enough. It's just her way of getting us to play, that's probably what the cat is doing. Nelson was out all night, so the cat was probably doing it for attention.
The poor cat was starving ...probably died of hunger and guys like you defend such cruelty with your twisted explanations ...I hope you don't ever own a cat
Did you ever try feeding her? The tearing up of paper would soon stop!
This is such valuable content and great inspiration for people to genuinely record their lives. 30 plus years later it could be the most interesting thing to watch.
I wish someone would continue uploading these videos
Im sad the last upload was 4 years ago! Wanted them to keep going. Thanks for this!
Even before I knew of Nelson, I wanted to go to 1984-1994 NYC, and now I want to go even more, someday when I time travel, I will go and meet Nelson, I really think he and I would have made the best of friends. Sometimes you just know you are soul connectors
maybe, i was there and you may have also been robbed, mugged or raped on those very dangerous streets
@@magamaga1827 i live in San Francisco, im not worried I walk through the TL all the time, my old friends say it’s what all of new York use to be like
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this window into our culture and history. You and your videos are precious beyond measure.
This guy is a time traveler! Doing Vlogs like this in the late 80s ! It's crazy to see how much of a change we have had in so little time!! Imagine how the future will look like
Good ok Nelson the ORIGINAL VLG’R! Rest In Peace we are all in love with you’re videos and thank you!
This guy was way ahead of his time because he was vlogging when nobody else did. HIs videos are precious gemstone of the past history. Can you just imagine if he were alive today to see youtube because i know somewhere up in heaven he must be proud knowing his videos are being shown.
Okay a lot of people did this shit in the 80s!!! God you fucking retards lot of people had cam,corders then
Yeah, there is a difference between *home movies* and *vlogging.* There was plenty of the former with families who could afford camcorders. People recorded for posterity weddings, graduations, birthdays, get-togethers, etc. However, almost no one was vlogging (i.e., daily video diary), as is very common today thanks to UA-cam et al. If you saw someone with a camcorder out and about, they were usually tourists filming their surroundings. You never saw someone walking around with the camcorder pointed at themselves and talking to it, as Nelson does in his videos. That's why people are relishing them.
Such a great man.
its so cool seeing how different things were back then especially the cars on the streets idk its so mesmerizing to me
Quality vaporware material. Also rip Nelson
another great for us * thousands * that watch nelsons videos from the 1980's and 1990's in a very happening place how cool is that
should add too, he passed before a lot of our times but it's such an interesting place being before us.. much respect.
Nelson had masses of friends..he was NEVER short of calling someone to hang with IF he felt like it...he's here at home on his own because he chose that , not because no one wants to hang with him.
These moments are beyond beautiful.
HAPPY BDAY NELSON!!!❤❤❤❤❤🎉
the inventor of modern vlogs. chapeau!
Just looked at his wiki... Most of his friends died one year later and the only one still alive is in prison for manslaughter
Titan then how did these get uploaded?
@@nuknuknuk111 Someone found the recordings and unloaded them online...
@@TitanHyperion Yeah his friend, Dick, uploaded them. He's not in prison. And he's still alive
Nay Giggers Dick just died :-( so sad
@@Seekyourtruth777 Yeah I found out he died in September
Thank you
Nelson seems very sad here.
Kendall C Rae probably just tired, looks like he had a really tiring birthday.
Precious videos for people's curiosity or memories.
I REALLY enjoys this type of video as a teenager who obsessed with 1980s.
I wish Nelson was alive today to see how popular his work has become. I’ve been watching his work for a couple years now and he was such a genuinely endearing, charismatic human being who showed his world and his friends in such a beautiful way.
My 39th bday is this year. Cool to watch this old school footage. I was just a kid back then.
I just got into Nelson’s videos and I’m f*** addicted. Is someone still uploading his material? I read somewhere that he recorded 1000+ hours
His friend Dick Richards was in charge of this channel and was uploading the videos. He sadly passed away 2 years ago so it looks like this could be the last video from this channel. The footage is out there though so hopefully someone else takes up the mantle and carries on releasing unseen footage.
Sweet Nelson, Rest In Sweet peace. Watching in 2021.
Happy belated birthday, Nelson ✌🏻 I hope you know how cool you are
These videos have got to be the greatest example of being ahead of your time !
