The 8th Annual Dillinger Block Party:
Every 2nd Saturday in May we shut down a couple blocks in the heart of Boulder City's picturesque downtown and throw a big block party. Access to the block party is free and all-ages. This year's event is on Saturday, May 11th from 3pm-2am. Featuring live bands, vinyl DJs, food trucks, vendors, and hilarious attractions like the Best Dog on the Block Contest, Dad Noise Competition, and Beer Drink Contest, this will be a party like none other! The block party also serves as a fundraiser for the nonprofit Shane Patton Foundation, which provides scholarships to local high school students. This event is the final destination on a city-wide Historic Preservation Day Celebration. At 3:30 there will be a parade led by the BCHS Marching Band down California Street (BC's original parade route) that will end in front of the stage.

According to Wikipedia, he suffered a stroke in 2017. However, this performance is in 2018. Together with the fact that he had a partial leg amputation in the 60’s, this performance is quite remarkable! Hats off to you Sandy ❤️
This adds a lot of context. Good on him for not letting that slow him down. As a drummer I was thinking he was having some timing issues. Knowing that he survived that and is still playing is actually awe inspiring.
Einer der besten....
The one man who inspired a nation to pick up drumsticks and carry on drumming!!!
Go Sandy Go!!!
Sandy Nelson was A big influence on my playing. He had a great melodic feel to his drumming. Thank you Sandy for sharing your gift to the world. Music is emotions in sound, and Sandy’s music expressed love, peace, joy, happiness, friendship and he had FUN playing and we had FUN watching him play.
I am just a beginner but I can see why he is so highly regarded. He did indeed have a wonderful melodic feel that one rarely finds the days. Not, of course, that modern percussionists don't have the chops, rather that that style of percussive musicality does not seem to be in vogue.
I recently listened to his Drums for Drummers Only arrangement and was left slack-jawed how he worked the high- hat so steadily for 12 straight minutes.
I just seriously admire his smooth melodic style.
Yes, I HAD a big enfulence on RINGO AND NAX WINEBOUGE TO NAME A COUPLE
RIP Sandy Nelson (December 1, 1938 - February 14, 2022)
I never knew he was gone he was my all time hero and was the best rock n roll drummer of all time sad never heard anything on the news can't believe it R I P Mr Nelson love Dan
Sandy, if you’re out there and listening; Back in 1976 you stopped by the Palomino (in Hollywood) during a break in our show. I enjoyed
‘tremendously’, the chance to talk with you. Just the same; I kept apologizing because I picked your brain (almost to the point of being
discourteous) on your drum and recording techniques and you were more than courteous with your time and it was sincerely appreciated!
As often was the case, we would share the stage with Jan & Dean but on that night, the Surfaris shared the stage with us, which afforded me the chance to visit with you.
To my surprise; even Governor Jerry Brown stopped by. It was amazing just how many people who enjoyed listening to Dick Dale, which was also how much I enjoyed your recordings.
Thank you and I wish you well,
Les Roberts
I'll pass on the message. 😎
Living legend right here!
Sandy Nelson, was a super kool inspiration to me as a 13 year old drummer wannabe. He was unique because his albums were drum instrumentals! Huh? How kool is that. The drummer was out front! Self taught by ear he was a dream come true for me.
No TH-cam videos in that era. To see him still rocking it until he passed this year was so great. I am 66 and still killing it with my fellow band of classic rock brethren .Fossil relics that can still rock. Thank you Sandy. RIP!
Happy 83rd birthday to Mr. Nelson!
He still remains the best drummer in the world, then, now and in the future. RIP.
Sandy Nelson is the reason why I am a drummer.
I love you Sandy! Big drumming hero of mine.
Sandy, I greet you from Argentina. I grew up playing your wonderful records. One of the best drummers in the world of instrumental music. God bless you forever.
Er war der erste DRUMMER Überhaupt für mich
Vor 68Jahren
“LET THERE BE DRUMS”………..Sandy your one of my hero’s.Your the reason I took up the drums. Thank You.
I wore out that record
Me too from nz.
God bless you Sandy Nelson you still got it!
With the number of albums Sandy made, he sure belongs in the rock n roll hall of fame!
As a kid and a young drummer (13), I practiced his stuff a lot. Then years later I started to communicate with Preston Ritter, the drummer for the Electric Pruns. Preston knew Sandy and spent time with him. Preston passed away several years ago.
I went on to open for some big named groups such as Canned Heat, Buddy Miles, Elvin Bishop and Fleetwood Mac to name a few. Musicians love to name drop, don't we?
Sounds to me like you made it, good for you that's awesome!!!!
This man is the best insperation and proof for living a long life...you can't "beat" that...love ya' Sir Sandy.
What I am about to say is not meant to offend anyone. The great ones are born not created. With the availability of the internet these days there is no reason why anyone cannot pick up an instrument and learn something. Remember people Sandy was one of the battle horses. With Grace and honor Mr Sandy Nelson I salute you my friend. Blessings and miracles always 🙏
I remember his drumming back when Let There Be Drums was on the radio. He sounds the same!
In the 60s, I bought a new Slingerland set. Sandy's LPs were how I self-taught myself to play.
That, and Ringo's stuff.
"Self taught myself" is horribly redundant.
I had a bunch of Sandy's albums, too. He and the Ventures were my drum influences. I had a set of 1964 Slingerlands, gold sparkle. I still have them.
@@traines51 Sure wish I still had mine!!! The guy I sold them to in 1968 still has them and won't sell!
@@kmerena You like your own "imagined self importance" don't you.
Sandy was One of Stewart Copelands hero’s. My sister had the album Let their Be Drums. Can remember listening to it and picking it apart. Very challenging.
Mr Sandy Nelson.Ringo made me want to play but my practicing was to the records of Trini Lopez, and YOU! At 70 I'm still gigging. I understand you are no longer with us. Thank you for sharing your talent with me, and many thousands more. RIP my mentor.
I remember when I listened to him.that was 55 year's ago.now I'm still enjoying the beat of his drums.
I played let their be drums in a talent show when I was about 15 years old. One of the few female drummers in 1965. Sandy was such a big influence on me along with Gene Kruppa. So sad to hear about his life now. He was a legend
Sandy was the reason I took up drumming back in the 60s ! Godspeed Sandy Nelson.
One of my idols. Sandy was one of my earliest influences (early 60's) in drumming style. My dad (also a musician) bought me a Sand Nelson album when I was about 12yrs old and I was hooked. WIll always enjoy listening to "Let There Be Drums."
*Bravo!!!!!*
watched a video of sandy some time ago, here's a man far up in years now, living in a dark run down,low rent apartment in calif, alone and having to use a kids set that was gave to him, its a shame,for here is a man who made dozens of LP records, 45 rpm,records, hundreds of live gigs and shows to his credit,, and hes almost a unknown now days,ive' seen the videos where the younger set yawn and look bored as hell as he drums away,only us from the by gone days still know and love what he does, some day he will be gone like gene Krupa,buddy rich, Cozy cole' and there style of drumming will vanish, except if ones lucky to find recording of there work, while there are fine drummers out there today,the old style i grew up to and learned,replaced by head bangers and gear busters who play loud and aggressive but with no passion.
emmitt jackson just because it's loud doesn't mean there's no passion
Sandy Nelson lives in Boulder City, Nevada
MY HERO
Fantastic drummer have his early records when I was young
God bless you, Sandy. A valued contribution
Sandy Nelson was an early influence in my drummer life.
I have Let There Be Drums on 45. Thank you for being such an awesome influence Sandy!!!!
Was an aspiring drummer back in the 60's...this guy was the go to guy...
Magari il il Cielo mi concedesse un ritaglio di vita come questo !!! (Ma ho poche speranze, questo signore ha ancora tutti i capelli) 😍
Thanks Sandy I came to drumming. Listening to his records and painstaikingly writing out every beat I slowly developed my skills. His sound was as unique as simin phillips is to day. All the rest sounds the same to me. RIP my friend in music.
Awesome to see Sandy still goin' at it in his early 80s. His swing/surf style of instrumental drumming (and also "Wipeout" by The Surfaris) were the two reasons that I took up the drums at age twelve. If memory serves, Sandy was a big influence on the Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson back in the day, as Wilson paid homage to Nelson with "Denny's Drums" on the BB's "Shut Down, Vol. II" album. 😄👍✌🇺🇸
He died in 2022.
R.I.P Sandy Nelson pure legend now drumming at the Pearly Gates
We love you sandy keep rocking and rolling your style of drumming is really the best of the best.
69 now listened to him as a child, later I got drums and I am still playing his beat.
Why isn't he in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? If Hal Blaine can make it. so can Sandy Nelson!
R&R hall of lame is a joke.
100%
He doesn't need to be, he's top legend already. 👏 🙌 👌 😎
100%Agree with you👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Neither is Link Wray father of the power chord .The Hall is a sham.
I probably play "Teen Beat" at least once every week, it's good for my soul xxxx
Love you Sandy after 50 years You are best/
Thank You so much for your drumming!!!!!!!!!!!
So cool to see the Maestro. I was a little kid in the 60's and picked up 3-4 albums at a garage sale and listened to them all the time.
My parents would never have got me lessons, but I made noise on the drums.
God bless you...
I miss Sandy. He was a very kind soul. A regular at our BBQs and get togethers.
Sandy played before very big crowds in the early sixties and was a huge influence on drummers..
Unfortunately, his accident and loss of his right foot, plus Beatlemania, started the gradual decline of his career and he is sadly doing things tough now.
So true! I'm one who was caught up in Beatlemania, but Sandy's drumming remained part of me.
Don't take it for granted.
My hero, why I started drumming in 60's
Distinctly remember this solo…classic!
I am in awe! I am myself a drummer, but the feel and groove that this guy has I can only aspire to!!
God bless you sir
He was the first drummer I heard and from that time I loved the drums.
Such an inspiration when I started drumming in the 60's... I have his albums, and learned a lot from trying to play along with them... THANK YOU SANDY AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU...
still love your drumming!!
Rhythm ran through his vains 💙
Very tasty drum solo!!
Sandy is an Icon….!
Thanks for posting this! Great to see a part of music history
The legend.
Perfect. Thanks 👍
El mejor baterista del mundo, desde chavito empece a escuchar sus discos y quede asombrado por su forma de tocar. Que Dios le de mucha salud y bendiciones .
Magnificent talent.
Good job Sandy and keep drumming!
My bandmates from years ago want to get together again and work on a list of songs, I’m not so sure about that, but what I am sure of is that you give me inspiration to keep going, that it doesn’t matter how old you are you can still keep rocking and rolling!
Thank you sir!!
YES SIR!!!😊
God bless this guy! You can here the swing in his heart.
God bless the master!
Let there be Drums. I almost became a drummer because of Sandy, but my parents nudged me to the guitar. Ventures won me over.
Playing drums to the music of Sandy Nelson or playing guitar to the music of The Ventures, it doesn't matter. Those were the days when they had REAL music, unlike today.
Legend 🔥
My respect and admiration 👏👏❤
Absolute legend in his hey day.
Man that snare sounds awesome!
That's awesome, what a legend! My buddy VK met you and loved you!
En Argentina salió un disco llamado "Revienta los parches" me fascinó su forma de tocar para finales de los 60 principios de los 70!!! Un genio!!!
lo tengo!
When I was a young buck I owned every Sandy Nelson & Hal Blaine record made. 😎
Rest in Peace Sandy! (1938-2022) At 1:30 you hear the Sandy magic!
I remember him putting a cricket in the corner of the room and playing his drums to the cricket
He's playing the kick drum with the left foot because he lost the right leg/foot at some point. He has incredible bravery and discipline to keep going and I'm glad he did. Bless you good man.
Motorcycle accident in the mid 60’s
Fue mi primer referente como baterista. De chico escuchaba sus temas e improvisaba una batería con las sillas y como baquetas dos ramitas. No entiendo còmo a Chester Thompson no le guste. Fue lo que me dijo cuando le preguntè. Genio.
When your good, your good! hope I can still drum when I get to his age, God bless you Mr.Nelson.
nice drum kit
God bless!
Ay ay ay
Didn't show much of a crowd there. Very sad. He's right up there with Gene Krupa.
Lindo ...quem toca bateria ,toca sempre ...sempre
Good on you mate.
Sandy is rad 😎
BEAT THAT DRUM!!!,Sandy Nelson
Danke schön!!!!!!!!! Love it! 🥰👏👏👏👏👏👍🙏💐🍀
Huge influence for how many drummers. Too many to count.
Good sound
Cool 😎
Great drummer, always was -- he was 80 years old in this video. Still quite good, no arthritis here. The late Sandy (d. 2018) had the rare ability to be a good rock drummer & modern jazz drummer. He was indeed a session drummer like Hal Blaine & had a long career playing on many early rock hits. Was one of the few drummers who issued solo albums & his "Let There Be Drums," was a hit.
Early rock n roll drummers were coming from Be bop
There but for the Grace of God go I. That will be me one day still trying to make it happen. We should all be so lucky.
Good Legendary
i was young and had the 45 of let there be drums given by my brother....an interesting thing here , he hit the bass drum with the left foot like P.Collins or I.Paice.....
A fucking mazing!! To this day I have been able to match that very Sandy Nelson role in.
DRUM ON DRUMMER
I could be wrong but I'm sure I read somewhere that he passed away recently.
