Bradley Nowell (Sublime) - Acoustic - Ocean Beach, CA - 11-10-1994

This video was shot by Laurie Daniels, mother of Miles Doughty from Slightly Stoopid. Someone posted this publicly on facebook just now, so I figured I'd make my private upload from many months ago public here. Thank you to Aaron Rigney for preserving this digital copy of the tape to get back to the Nowells and Laurie. All the best.

I love how Brad’s dog is always hanging around him in every single video he’s in lol

[@splersh194]

Sure

[@JeffHowell-eh9fb]

Agreed

[@Graemesbullys]

I don’t think people give Brad enough credit for his guitar skills . I play and when I watch videos of anyone playing I usually just watch their hands and when I watch Brad play not just here but live shows I’m pretty impressed

[@SunnyD420]

When I found this video 10 minutes ago, I immediately looked at the technique of his picking hand because I wanna learn his strumming style so bad. There are lots of sudden triplets in his strumming that I love so much, but I never ever hear people use it.

Dude could shred - while singing his heart out. Not to mention one of the best song writers ever.

[@idontknowmuch3441]

Lot of the guitar solos on sublime songs are bradly shredding. So much talent gone to soon

[@feloniuspunk7078]

My favorite thing about Bradley, that I never hear anybody mention, is the fact that; during the height of the grunge movement. When most people were writing depressing, angry, moody music, Bradley barely ever strayed away from the Major scale lol… happy, upbeat, funny, braggadocios (in a good way). He was just, himself. What an original

[@fullmetalfreedom]

You are so right!!!!!

Oh man pool shall gets me everytime

[@trumpdesantis42024]

Sublime kept me alive through all my addictions and depression till Jesus Christ and I started our journey to become who I am today

[@SunnyDiegoProduction]

He was still an unhappy depressed loser who overdosed like most grunge era lead singers, but hey, at least those songs were upbeat! Hahaha

[@ScottChicago]

This Casual home recording is gold for big sublime fans and Bradley Nowell fans! A look behind the curtain ;) I wish I was hanging with him that night! So sad he didn't have the time to do a whole lot more. But I love what he left us with. He is one of my favorite people that I never got to meet.

[@_RYEN_]

This is such an amazing peek into his life

[@rulon6064]

You absolutely right broski, he was under appreciated when he was here but sometimes that how it goes gotta leave to be missed.

[@erikkibler3466]

To my knowledge this recording is at Miles from the band Slightly Stoopids moms house.

[@Kerr31]

Bradley Nowell is an incredibly underrated singer, and overall musician....one of my faves; also playing soft ska/punk on an acoustic guitar....nobody else.... literally 😂

[@PinkMisfitJacey]

Gosh. Jakob can now play in memory of his father. 2024 is going to be majestic. Life's majestic. Thank you for making this available. 🙏🏽

[@kalebjennings560]

Is there any other versions of the unreleased

[@kookadams85]

I seen many disregard that sublime's output was over 50% covers/renditions/recycling riffs- melodies etc. Robbin the Hood was when the quality started to bleed thru, the nearly half of the self-titled that was orig....I eschew all the reggae covers.

[@DCAP-BTLS]

@@kookadams85 why try to label it honestly it’s just sublime that’s it

[@JayK20]

@@kookadams85 i dont even understand how doing a lot of covers is a bad thing as long as you're bringing something new to the table with the cover and not just doing a 1:1 copy of a song, covering songs is dope! and you can do crazy stuff with it that the audience loves, one of my old bands used to do a ska punk cover of I'm Looking Through You by The Beatles, every crowd we played it for loved it everytime (not like i've played any huge crowds but still lmao)

[@snapdragon217]

What happened/eye of Fatima is the version on the acoustic album. So crazy to see the video behind the recording.

Yeah, this hits me hard to see if for the first time after hearing it for the first time nearly a quarter century ago. Awhile back someone posted the vid of Dub Medley 2 (Great Stone) which was live to board.. unfortunately can't find it. One of my fav Brad performances.

[@ekojar3047]

I wonder what it was?

[@tonybuttfart1255]

This gave me the chills. I always loved how he went from “what happened” into “eye of Fatima.” He was so talented, was hoping he’d do a song in Spanish.

[@michaellindsay2684]

What a talented dude Brad was man he can play and that voice wow.. back when there was original musicians in the world ..now days everyone sounds the same ...

[@aunch3]

There only session musicians left no one’s original

[@dmoneygc2086]

Love 'Just Keep Mackin' All the Time'! Wish that would have gotten the full band treatment. Also, this was recorded 4 days before the 'Memories' show in Everett, WA. Key piece of Sublime history right here!

[@killerMike-gs2my]

Can anyone provide the lyrics? Its hard to tell what he's saying during the chorus.

[@bryanmunroe2372]

That is really awesome information…I love The Tressels Tavern show… just curious how you know that? Thanks for sharing!!!

[@dmoneygc2086]

Sorry this reply took me so long, man, I know this because the show at the Tressel Tavern was on the 14th of November 1994, this video was recorded on the 10th of November 1994. So, they would have flown up there right after this. The Memories booklet describes picking them up from the Airport and Brad singing all the way to the venue and not stopping singing the whole night, this video I feel reflects the artistic boom state he was in at that moment in time that went on to make the Tressel show so unique and amazing.

[@PatL77]

Like nerds love Elon Musk, Bradley was a God of hip hop, reggae, blues, rock, funk, with a voice and style that no mortal comes close to. Listening to this new music is sweet, and painful. We lost him way too early. He started a music revolution. I can only imagine what music would be like today, had he lived a full life. Now, you have to dig around to find good music.
