Bradley Nowell (Sublime) Acoustic - Tape 2

This video of Bradley Nowell from Sublime playing acoustic songs was recorded in Ocean Beach in November of 1994. I had the tapes for 12+ years in a box. I extracted them into digital form and returned the physical tapes to the original owner in 2015. enjoy!
note on the copyright muting of the Foolish Fool song. this is the video that the actual song on the Bradley Nowell & Friends was taken from. so I understand them muting it. here is the link to that song for your convenience

Wow... to stumble upon this here in 2024... what a gift! Thank you for this. You made my day.

Lou Dog died from old age on September 17, 2001. Lou Dog's ashes were scattered over the same spot as Brad's, in Surfside, California. They both left behind a major legacy.

[@tylerdurdan8558]

Awe Lou dawg is so well behaved. Just chilling on the floor next to Brads feet taking in those beautiful tunes. This makes me happy and sad all at the same time. Thank you so much for posting this .

[@drewwood6790]

They sure as fuck did brother!

[@bidensniffedmetoo1005]

Crazy that Lou dog died 6 days after the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01

[@fuckMAGA]

thanks for sharing this man. i freaking loved that dog

[@shawn2789]

Lou dog knew who was responsible. Thats why they deleted him. RIP spotted doggy. ​@bidensniffedmetoo1005

Right. Fuck I’ve listen to them seriously everyday since I was a boy. 🫶🏻

[@sagecross82]

So awesome looking in the comments and people watching this in 2024, his music decorates time so well

[@aarontheautopainter6252]

Might be one of the cleanest raw vocals I’ve ever heard from Bradley

[@parkerwilliams6948]

Wow. Just think of all the campfires and car rides where his voice carried our souls. We love you, bradley

Good luck ❤ I’ve got a few I’m hoping to come across. I did find a flyer for one of my favs though 😂

I never knew Sublime played in Everett....I bet that was awesome!

[@Bigdaddyshaker]

Imagine having this in a old shoe box for decades and just now uploading it better late then never I guess

[@AmericanNope]

Haven’t listened to sublime in over a decade and man Bradley s voice (especially his soft wailing) gives me chills. RIP and hope you’re enjoying your next adventure.

[@RecoveredRidleyTruther]

So awesome. Sounds just like Brad nowell and friends cd from my teens. The one artist i wish we could hear ankther cd from... him and Jimi, sooooo ahead of their times

[@sethwilliams720]

Sometimes I wonder how many classic tunes we missed out on after losing Bradley, Lynn Strait, Layne Staley, Kurt, etc. Tragic to think about.

[@MelissaHemenway-n9t]

Bradley Kurt Layne Shannon Chris Chester Wieland rip😢and Andrew wood too

[@00TheD]

We missed nothing, they were perfect in life and in death. It is the weakness of man to be handed glorious moments and demand more.

I did as well . Bradley raymond

[@ooblesmcboobles]

I did too! About a month before he was born I was driving to work one day, and we still had no clue what we were gonna name him. I had my old iPod mini on shuffle and STP came on, I was instantly like “problem solved!”

Named mine Bradley Nolan.

[@RatzonOrchestra]

He was such an immense talent. Wow. Love his vocal tones and of course his guitar playing, too. You don't hear the same prowess as when he's soloing on electric, but still always pleasant.

So awesome to see this. The recording to Foolish Fool is him in a friends living room. Love it man.

[@angienerolyrics728]

I got to see him in warped tour, I think 93-94. Instantly fell in love with the mix of so much music. Got as merch as I could and left the tape in my boom box until I spun. I've probably bought all the albums multiple times. Got to a chance to play a venue with Rome and duddy... and it was better. But I think Jacob is taking over 🙏

I have never seen this. It was wonderful. I would have bitch slapped anyone playing 2 chop chords behind me. I’m kidding. He laughed and played along with it. I wish I could have met this guy. Seems like such a great soul from the outside. This video is gold. R.I.p. legend

[@carnage77]

That moment when you realise that loads of reggae and punk songs only have a theme of 2/3 chords and play on vocals/brass spanning across sympathetic scales

He was very patient and let it roll.

Lou dog is in the house! Another legendary appearance!

[@fuckMAGA]

I’m in shock to see this video online. I was in the same room at the time Brad made the entire acoustic album. I was a HS freshman every time and my mom and Brad’s Mom were both doing some post graduate college work when she went to, her friend from school has a sign who’s in a band and they’re really popular so I wanted to come see. I guess they became pretty popular didn’t they?? I was playing with the Dalmatian shown in the video while I watched.

[@icebergslimm853]

hahaha.i bet you were.

[@thatssoironic]

Hard to believe. How old are you?

[@fuckMAGA]

42@@thatssoironic

[@ListedMia-sm4xm]

I’m 42 so that means you were say 11 yeah sure bro we all wish by the way that’s not Brad’s mom

[@fuckMAGA]

Why the hell would I lie about that?? This was in 94, so I would have been 13 or so. Hence saying I was a freshman. Maybe I was off by a year or so, but still not far off in my estimate tho. It was Brad’s parents house man. Maybe step mom or dad? Hard to remember ALL the details perfectly at this point but trust me I will never forget meeting Brad. No worries if y’all don’t believe me tho. Just wanted to share some details I had when I saw this video on YT.

[@mdw175]

Generational talent.

[@tstar2196]

Wowww....

[@sachathomasvideophoto1199]

I was surprised to hear Bradley was singing a Ramones cover @7:34

[@TheDogggrecords]

Beautiful!! There's learned talent and there's talent that God puts in one's soul. Both take very hard work to harness and refine but there's just something different about the God given one that can't be duplicated. EDIT: And the patience to put up with that annoying woman on the piano was strong!
