Rick Nelson, Randy Meisner At The Troubadour 1969 (Stereo Audio-Video upgrade)

[@charliekucharski2079]

For all that Rick did for rock n roll and the millions of records he sold I still think critics have overlooked him in recent years. Incredible talent but a very humble man.

[@seerstone8982]

I've never seen or heard a negative comment about Rick or Randy Meisner, that's a good legacy.

[@user-sw8fm4lb7x]

Je suis d accord avec vous, c c'est un chanteur magnifique trop méconnu et pas assez reconnu, il a tout pour lui, la voix, la beauté, le charisme, une personne attachante et tellement humble, ❤❤❤❤

Almost TOO good!

Oh man.... I can't tell you haw many times I've listened to this record in my lifetime. So cool to see video footage from these performances. Man... he sounded so great, he assembled a really great band.... and what a ridiculously great and authentic sound they made! Long Live The Stone Canyon Band... and Long Live Rick Nelson!

[@bonnierobbins7079]

So handsome

[@ANGELAMcDaid-nf1ns]

Rick and Randy were more talented and handsome than anyone had the right to be. Add their lovely, humble personalities and you have the whole package.

[@Allan-ts1ux]

Ricky , actually shook his hand at a recording studio in 1971..I was 19 and could not believe it..Ricky nelson , what a star he was ..my first idol

[@drlucio]

Did you attend a recording session?

[@Allan-ts1ux]

@@drlucio No , I met Ricky as he left the door to his recording as we went in ... The person I was with said now don't get all jumpy just be calm and I'll introduce you to him.. then he went in and played the violin part. Ricky was just as I had imagined and said hello it's nice to meet you , we shook hands and that was it. I was blown away by the whole circumstance.. the person I was with played violin for the lassie show in the 50s And 60s. Played the violin for glen Campbell's I am a lineman for the county, Linda ronstands you're no good , Eurythmics here comes the rain again ,.all of Dan folgerbergs songs. And was first seat violin for the LA philharmonic.. I lived with that family when I was a teenager over the cliffs of the ocean in Los Angeles Pacific Palisades in 1971 .. listen to the violin in those songs and you can tell his signature sound in violin.. he was the top studio . musician at the time for bands and movies .. I was always blown away living there .. those were the days..

Too cool!

[@chiplovitt8538]

Wonderful...Many do not know that Rick Nelson was there at the beginning of so called country rock, around the time of Flying Burrito Bros and Gram Parsons, Before the Eagles... I heard an interview with Bernie Leadon and Chris Hillman where Bernie noted how Rick Nelson was picking up the country/folk sounds at the beginning....with Randy Meisner znd Tom Brumley of Buck Owens band on pedal steel to boot!....And I just love "Easy to Be Free!"

Really enjoyed this. Had never seen it, before. Rick's abilities & contributions, as a singer/songwriter, musician & recording artist were underrated, in my opinion.

[@drlucio]

I agree with your comments fully. Shame so much of his creative music will never be as appreciated as the early hits

[@dsoule4902]

You're not alone in that opinion. Rick was awesome. Really nice guy too

[@johndonabie5150]

I've heard his music for a long time; with the Stone Canyon Band; but have never seen the video. Appropriately I've found this just after the death of Randy Meisner; who would go on to be a member of the Eagles. Thank you for posting..

[@drlucio]

You are most welcome. Sad time for all of us with the greats passing away

[@thomastimlin1724]

And Randy took everything he learned from this experience with him to the Eagles, when it was really Rick who first blended country, folk, with rock and roll and created the embryo of the Southern California Rock sound. And this a great sound from all the musicians as opposed to the auto tuned, computerized sound you get now from every genre including country music.

[@jayrob280]

Wasn’t he with poco as well?

[@gittahfiend]

​@@jayrob280yes, he was.

[@irmagarcia7826]

Randy Meisner!!! Rest in peace.❤

[@3rscrafting]

I just turned 68. When I was a little girl I had the biggest crush on him ... along with a million others girls of all ages...he was in a TV show, Ozzie and Harriet and they were his parents. He also had a brother, David. I think. It was a sitcom based on the real life people. But not their real lives. I can still remember sitting in our TV room, black and white, color wasn't on the market yet, and on the shows where he sang were the best. His manner of death for everyone on that plane was horrendous.

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

Randy was too gentle a soul to have to deal with a-hats like Frey and Henley.

[@michaelmcinnis911]

Very cool to see Randy Meisner playing some great bass parts on this! Nice stuff.

[@randalroberts6566]

Rick’s live album from the Troubadour has been one of my all-time favorites since it came out in 1969. Great band and great music! Too bad that Tom Brumley wasn’t featured or even mentioned in the video. His work on the pedal steel was a defining contribution to the sound of the Stone Canyon Band. The Eagles owe a huge debt to Rick Nelson and the SCB!

[@develx6819]

And Linda,she put em all together

[@3fingersjkjk480]

This is a special rare hard to come by video footage of Rick Nelson along with the original Stone Canyon Band, speaking as one of the original Editors of Music videos for the launch of MTV, am surprised when working with Mike Nesmith from The Monkees we didn’t come across this back then.

[@drlucio]

Always wished that MTV would have included artists of the pre-Beatles era in it's rotation over the years. A missed opportunity to increase viewership. This special was produced by Rick's brother David.

[@3fingersjkjk480]

We had limited availability and lots of film footage to squeeze in combined with a limited budget and time frame to prepare for the launch before handing it over to MTV

[@drlucio]

I agree about this period. I was around in the 1970s but too young to attend any of the concerts though I did get to see him live about 6 times in the last 2 years before the plane crash. Shows were excellent but he was doing the old hits rather than new material.@@taeylorbrooks8074

The wonderful Allen Kemp on lead guitar, another talent gone too soon. He later joined the New Riders of the Purple Sage. He was an exquisite player and a true gentleman.

[@broncobrian2344]

Thanks I was wondering who was playing lead. But I always thought David Nelson was lead for NRPS ?

[@BluegrassIsCool]

Allen replaced Skip Battin on bass for NRPS after leaving Rick Nelson in the late '70s. When original lead guitarist David Nelson left NRPS a couple years later, Kemp took over lead guitar and also started singing and writing more for the band; check out the album "Feelin' Alright!" and its concert fave song "The Way She Dances." @@broncobrian2344

Good point. I really could not find a way to compare this music of Rick's to anything else from the time period. It has some country, folk and rock undertones mixed in with pop. Unique music to my ears. I know that like many others he was into Bob Dylan at the time.

So why are the Eagles given all the credit for starting Southern California Rock? The evidence is here with Rick Nelson and the band including future Eagles member Randy Meisner who took this experience with him to the Eagles. The fickle public and smart ass critics would let Rick Nelson out of the "Ricky Cage" that's why. Rick wrote a lot of these songs! The harmonies are all there. Yet Rick Nelson got into the Rook and Roll Hall Fame BEFORE the Eagles did.

[@tonymartin6088]

My thoughts entirely. Hopefully he will recognition he fully deserves.

[@chervinatta5622]

And Poco, which Randy was a founding member of, as well. Poco and Rick Nelson were before the Eagles.

[@broncobrian2344]

I’ve never heard anyone give Eagles credit for starting Southern CA rock, although unfortunately, they were the most successful. Founders would include Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, Poco, Flying Burrito Bros among others.
