- Nelson and Dick were returning from visiting their parents in South Carolina when they made this trip to Atlanta in 1984. Experience the luxury of riding in a Chevrolet Malibu in this video by Nelson Sullivan.
Why do I feel nostalgia for a time I wasn't alive in
Sam Froese reincarnation
me too i feel nostalgic and in that year i would be born in 6 years
@Games, Simulatoren and More recycled*
I know right?!
80's was the best decade of my life. I was born in the 50's. 80's music was the best.
You probably were here in the 80's but like most people, your conscious memory was erased in the re-birth process. Google "hypnotic past-life regression".
Even though I was only 5 years old in 1984, I sure do miss this time and remember every bit of it.
Im born in 1979 as well
I hope this channel lives on forever
This shows the difference between when he shot film mostly like a "normal" person at the time, facing outwards, vs facing the camera towards himself which was revolutionary at the time, especially with the way he held it so stable and the way he guided us through his experience.
He was vloging before it existed
Rogelio cervantes it obviously existed, because he's doing it. He created it
jackasses the word vlogging didn’t exist back then but home video did dummies 😂 home cam corders existed since the 80’s 😆 I have hours of home recordings since the mid 80’s does that mean me and my lil bro were also the first video bloggers at age 5 and 8 ??? 😂 Doubt it
If he lived in today he would be in a TV show, his personality.would have got him far in TH-cam etc.
Same with "Weird Paul"
@@greatjuankenobi217 dumbshit, filming something is completely different than filming yourself walking around talking.
Who else here is a car guy and is fascinated by all these old cars.
How much more footage do you have to sift through? This is so fascinating.
Luke Toomey Are these actually recorded from the eighties
I've heard upwards of 1500 hours.
Yes! All of these are home videos filmed by Nelson Sullivan. He started filming in the early 80s and has hundreds of tapes like this.
He's been dubbed the original vlogger. My favourite clips are the mundane interactions with the club kids when they're away from the nightlife.
Reece Campten Myers Thanks Captain Obvious
Your doing God's work love these time capsules
Wow. Total time travel !! Love IT!
Such a cool time capsule to some of my old stomping grounds. The radio mentions getting some concert tickets at Horizon Records- I've bought music and seen live shows there, and it's still in business today! They passed the Greenville Spartanburg Airport where I worked in my late teens. And they mentioned Rockhill where I went to college, and grew up in Greenville. What a small world. I look forward to watching more of these videos.
@jcrva4633 I remember the day after I originally saw this I drove back to that area to see how much it has changed and it’s drastic, gas station is gone to no surprise I’m sure
No way the song that plays. What a beautiful morning
Can I physically visit this year? Please, Lord?
These vlogs are epic fr seeing a time capsule of the days that were
The green and white cabover semi they passed I think that is the company I worked for back in the mid-90s. Our trucks had identical paint jobs.
0:27 Now there's an example of a decent song that has been absolutely, positively forgotten. Centipede.
Oh lord to return to those better days
8:35 love this song :)
What is the song? :)
This Chevy Malibu is a 1978 generation since I’m able to tell by the interior. Crazy to think already that would be equivalent to a 2018 vehicle
Rip Nelson
Back to the time when USSR was a thing...
Nelson was a time traveler
What a whimsical time! No helmets and gasoline under $1!
Those street lights.
I enjoy your videos
I was 7
8:44 my nigga hit chall with some special effects.
Kiss - Heaven’s on fire 1:16
Ha ha that 80s radio DJ sounds familiar is that Rick dees
0:41 Like a Virgin by Madonna
1:34 square body spotted
anyone know the song at 3:32 ?
The Cars. “Hello Again.”
Wait so who is uploading this now?
Dick Richard's which is the guy driving the entire time in the video
Robert Brown that’s what you call a good friend when he’s keeping his legacy alive
A-rod88 dang that was a year ago wtf that felt like last month lmao
Impossible to watch just one Nelson Sullivan video. They're addictive and alluring.
LoL, I’m on my fifth video. Just discovered this channel.
Next time you're driving around in the 80's record more of that radio music will ya!!
I would love to know what all the songs were.
ConorChaos only if :(
And more advertisements.
This comment gave me a three second mental shutdown. Lol
Please no it was terrible
There is something so calming about these vlogs. I always find myself coming back to them, especially during these uncertain times.
There is so much here. The Malibu, which was probably a 1978. Such a dependable car. You can see another in the shop at the garage later on. The music, the sandwiches, the ambiance, the other cars truly transport you to 1984 in a way few if any home videos do. Nelson really did capture magic.
Devin Broom No. The 81 and 82 has four rectangular headlights. The car in the video has dual sealed beams.
Radical AM 78,79, or 80....i had a 79 coupe with a 327 shift kit and posi
It’s a 79 Malibu.
I couldn't get a look at the grill...unless i missed it....that'd tell you
The 78 and 79 were identical except the grille insert. The 80 an 81 had a more flush grille surround with a different grille insert for each year. 82 and 83 had quad headlamps.
13:05 They’re still working on that road to this day lol
lmao
Deadass sc roads r shit NC is tha state
@@lil_glock_live4239 yeah, because here in SC we had that terrible flooding in 2015.
Sidestep Adventures lolololol
LOL.
Makes me realize how short life is. I’m in my later 30s now, around the same age as they were. To these guys the 80s probably seemed like it was yesterday... I’m sure it’ll feel the same to me.
I was 16 in 1984..soon to be 53. It honestly does seem like yesterday at this point. I love this snapshot of the time gone by
can I go back to the 80s pleeeeeease!
I love america greetings from UK
I remember seeing so many squared cars when I was little 😁 I was born in 82 but I remember them box cars. 😆To me they seem so hug on the inside much more room then the cars today and a lot more comfortable. My uncle had a big blue car we used to call it ole blue😁
I've been obsessed with Nelson ever since I discovered this TH-cam channel. I wanna go back in time and live that lifestyle
Omg, me 2!!!! That would b so amazing!!! Hangin out w him & all the club kids!!! Ughh, its so disappointing!!!😭
We need an 80s community
I love nelsons personality and his southern drawl and his sarcastic little digs he had to be so fun and cute to be around. If there's a heaven Nelson you're an Angel up there rip
I think his character is so adorable. Like a cute little puppy.
He sounds like bruce from family guy
Bruh it was only 1984, why do you think hes dead now?
@@connorjl7 he died on 7/4/89
As a new sub early in her obsession, I just want to say how grateful I am for Dick uploading these vids. Thank you so much! 💕
*edited to add thanks to all involved with the 5 ninth collective 💞
I always love these (esp. the Atlanta ones) but I got to thinking during this one-- these are actually very important historical documents. Is there ANY other body of video out there that shows what regular life was like 35 years ago? This is unique. Thanks for this channel.
Yeah a decent amount on this channel :)
When Vietnam war veterans were just in there 30’s age
I was 9. Everything looks so old. Damn i'm old. lol
I was 22 days old when this was filmed. Pretty neat to see a physical atmosphere in a relic sort of way of my own self.
Me to. Damn I wanna go back (:
My dad was 12, he loved the 80’s
Heh. I was 17...I'm prehistoric. Life moved more slowly in those days.
I was 3 Lol
awesome footage. I wish was living in that era. RIP
Many of us feel the same way. That's the beauty of what Nelson did. Because of him, we can all take a trip back in time to experience just a taste of what it was like.
Me too! :(
I was, I was 4
@@adambussert6298 I was 4 too. Was born May 18th 1980, you?
@@adambussert6298 saaaaame! Ha we're so lucky dude
I love Nelson's traveling videos. Whether it's from Kershaw to Atlanta, or riding the bus up and down 14th Street in NYC. They're calm and meditative, and also packed with information about the landscape of 80s America.
This is so cool to watch. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this page. Thank you Nelson 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
'Like a Virgin' was in the charts!
At the time! A very popular song by Madonna
Centipede by Rebbie Jackson playing at the beginning was a dope song with a cool video game to match at that time. Lol
I absolutely love these never stop uploading i hope to see many more, its like time travelling back to the 80's.
Nelson and Dick are pioneers. I was 13 years old when this was filmed and growing up in Greenville SC. I wasn’t quite ready yet, but watching this and knowing that I was only 7 miles north of that Amoco station where they gassed up at, I can’t help but dream that they would have scooped me up and taken me to Atlanta or NY. I made it to Atlanta in 1989 when the time was right and eventually to NY in 1999. Always a step behind these trail blazers who carved the way for me and in a sense formed a piece on my identity. Godspeed.
@3:20, do you happen to know where that was?? Like what exit, if it's Greenville?
I’m currently growing up in Greenville! :D
@ryanguerry5994 it’s the Augusta exit off 85, I can’t remember the number but if they take a right out of the gas station then they’d be heading downtown
@mattjones8733 where did you grow up? Eastside ? Greer?
@@ThrowinTDs933 yes the eastside. Kingsgate neighborhood between 1976-1986. Eastside High and FAC. Some moving around between 86-89, Haywood Rd and Toy St by Cleveland Park.
The lady mentioned at 8:17 was born in 1895. Wow.
Rest In Peace
So was i
just imagine all the changes she has seen in her life
His house is still there in Atlanta. 1714 Adolphus St -- I live in Dallas now but am from Atlanta and am pretty familiar with the Little Five Points area so it only took a few min to find. I was happy to see it's still there because so many have been torn down over the years.
if only Nelson could see the metropolis Atlanta has become today.
My first car, Dick and Nelson look so handsome in their clothes. We love you Dick and Robert! Thank you :) I love Nelson, grew up in Atlanta, hurts I never crossed paths with Nelson or Dick. So thankful for this though, so excited when I saw a new video pop up!!
This man should be in Guinness World Records
As the first vlogger
You knew instantly when they hit Atlanta by the construction on the freeway and I bet it isn't finished today
Nelson (yes I know he's gone from THIS world, but)😔... Darlin I LOVE YA!!! I was 10. Grew up in Dallas Texas. And this is my childhood right here. Your other video in 1989 was the year of my first boyfriend/first kiss etc, when I fell in love with thrash metal. So many memories just seeing visions of the Southern highways. The cars, the music on the radio, the signs....Even the crinkling of a paper bagged lunch,wow. You dont realize how much we've lost. You done good.
I'm supposed to be revising for my networking exam tomorrow but I'm watching this.
I have things to do too but Nelson has me enraptured with his carefree lifestyle.
Good choice
These are fascinating videos. I was 8 years old in 84. Great to see all the old cars from my childhood. 93 cents for gas! Heck Ya
An people were probably complaining about how high gas has gotten before long it's gonna be over a buck a gallon haha
1988 or 89 my friend had a 1978 Malibu with a 305. Great car, great times drinking and fun! Thanks
When ww2 veterans were in their late 50’s age
I'm totally obsessed with Nelson's videos. I also think (from binge watching the videos on this channel) Dick's voice is soothing AF!
When ww1 veterans were still alive on there 80’s age
It's amazing to look back and see how much things really haven't changed much in 40 years. We are still driving gas powered vehicles, still listening to the radio, still eating at McDonald's lol. All that changed is our communication technology.
I miss physical media stores the most. Blockbuster videos or places like tower records. Also miss all the arcades we used to have.
Oh wow pulling down the license plate to put in gas omg 😲 haven't seen that in year's
I missed Nelson. Love his videos. 💖💖💋 Love the 80s music.
I see you on nearly every video, you must of watched them all? 🤣
Have you ever found out if anyone will be releasing more footage?
these videos are the most wonderful thing to ever happen to youtube. something so sweet yet so sad that he could never have known they would be shared in this way. love you Nelson! and much love to whoever is uploading them. i shared a few of these videos at a film club i go to because Nelson and these days he filmed are so special.
I like to believe deep down he knew and that's why he filmed so much.
aww rip Nelson
Wow. That footage from ATL was awesome. It looks so different now. That interstate construction they showed at around 11:20 is what is now “spaghetti junction” at 85 and 285 on the north side.
You also can see how they were just starting to widen out the connector and 85 North too.
And least we forget, the time where cars didn’t all sound like a toddler blowing a raspberry.. 😂
This video deserves more views. I was born in 89, even back then in the 90's you went outside and play. no phones, no tablettes. Was a great time to be alive.
Phones and tablets weren't big until around 2010 buddy
I love this is an all around pleasant piece of history of a great and likeable guy who was way ahead of his Time.America is so beautiful all around.
Ya no its not
Radio commercials really haven't changed much.....
I love this channel so much, rip nelson.
LOL. I know that they're good but don't forget that you're driving. And the classic song on the radio says it's a beautiful morning
Dissent Truth- yeah. It's at the part where Nelson is sharing his homemade sandwiches with dick. I thought that was hilarious because I've been told that before
I wish I would have thought of doing this sort of thing back then. I was kind of geeky in that sort of way. Miss those tunes on the radio.
Everything will never be like that again. I'm hooked on the 80's. That's when I was a kid
I like the fact no one is tailgating and driving normal. Now it's the complete opposite!!!
This was around the time of the Atlanta child murders.
R.I.P. Laura Branigan.
Mode85 Actually they were during 1979-1981. This was well after that.
No it wasn't.
Jossette Monroe Correct. This was a few years after that.
Was that old man vaping at the gas station please let me no???
@@josieunderpantz8319 nah, he was definitely holding his keys or something like that
It's really crazy because I pass that same mansion and sign that says Greenville-spartanburg airport everyday.
Woah that’s really amazing! I love these videos.
Let's see....I was 5....it was 2 days after Xmas...so I was prolly playing with my brand new Ewok Village as this was being taped.
Being a Trucker 🚛 pretty cool 😎 knowing I was a baby this was being recorded 😀 The TH-cam algorithm recommended me this...Awesome
This is when I could buy cigarettes for my mom at 6 yrs old. Lol. Black cat FIREWORKS
no way
So nostalgic to me. That 'Old Keg Party Shop' was right near where i lived and the gas station too where they stopped. The music brings back memories, as well. These years in the video were some of the best times of my life. I remember that ride from Greenville to Atlanta so well on 1-85 back then. Thanks for these videos..remarkable.
If only time travel was possible.. I’d love to go back to the 80’s.
Oh god I am from India
But after watching these videos it feels like I was there all the fuckking time !!!
Really beautiful
Wouldn't Nelson love youtube !!!!!
I looked up the old keg party shop and the building is still there lol. Looks exactly the same.
10:43 Laura Branigan on the radio.
Fun video. I've taken that drive from SC so many times. Great to see spaghetti junction.
I could watch nelson in these videos all day. He is the most fascinating person. His videos are very interesting just himself in it.
The guy at the gas station finishes fueling then passed the nozzle off to the guy next to him like back then you could pull in an turn on the pump pump what you needed them go pay that amount on the honor system I'm 34 an I can remember this an also remember it changing with the times wish we could go back to a simpler time really do
Somewhere around *3:35*
Did that old guy just rip the juul 35 years before it was invented? 😳
Everything has changed... but it’s all the same.
I love them american cars. Now cars look the same worldwide.
The guy at 3:33 hitting the vape and hiding it because he’s from the future and doesn’t want you to know.
That is odd.
So funny. The first thing is the cross in Cowpens thats still there today. Passing through Gaffney. Back then in the spring from Blacksburg to Spartanburg it was a sea of pink on both sides of 85 with all the peach orchirds in bloom. I wish he wouldve gotten the big Peachoid water tower. lol
The 80's were the best.
I see your Simpsons avatar reminds me how great the 90's were, plus I happen to be listening to Black Crows-Angels playing on the radio.
