I was there at this speech in 2011.. damn it's been 10 years already.... You could really feel the emotion in his voice. For a long time I regretted not recording it because I never saw it uploaded anywhere. I'm glad someone saved it. It's too important a piece of trek history to lose.
Had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful human being, he changed my outlook on life. The world and the human race lost a very special person when he passed. Live long and prosper. Rest in Peace Leonard.
There is a documentary called "For the Love of Spock. Very recently made and is a very insightful look into his life on and off screen. He struggled with alot of inner demons because of his role of Spock. Was aired on the SyFy channel. A must watch for every Mr.Spock and Star Trek fan. Watch it and Live Long and Prosper. Rest in Peace Mr.Nimoy who I was lucky to meet at a Star Trek convention in the late 70's in Philadelphia.
So glad to be able to watch this. My grandmother was a fan of Spock (she passed away a month before Mr. Nimoy did) and I grew up watching Star Trek reruns. Spock resonated with me in more ways than one (I don't really consider myself a Trekkie, but anything that involves Nimoy's Spock, I'm there) and Leonard Nimoy always struck me as an insightful, humble and grounded person. At the end of the day, he was a human being with flaws but that was one of the things about him that made him so relatable. He understood how it felt to be an outsider and trying to find your identity. Spock's inner conflict of his Vulcan half and his human half is symbolic of what so many of us struggle with. "He's really not dead, as long as we remember him." Truer words were never spoken. RIP Leonard Nimoy
Spock taught me how to control my emotions as a child and teenager, but Kirk taught me as an adult how to embrace my pain and turn it positive and win in what seemed like losing situations.
No one else could play Spock like him. Spock was my idol when I was a kid. Wish he was still here, when he passed away, I felt as bad as when my own father passed away a couple of weeks later. RIP Leonard. Thanks for the memories. You'll live on in our hearts forever. Thank you Jaime, for sharing this video.
I agree, that Leonard owned the role. I though wonder if Martin Landau, who also, had "the look" might have done a good job at it, but he didn't want the job.
This is great to see this!I’m so glad that they saved this,too!Yeah,Leonard Nimoy was a great 👍 actor,and a great 😊 human being!I’m so glad that they saved this from a convention in;2011!And,he live’s on in Star ⭐️ Trek!Or,as my mom said;it’s a good thing that they made Star ⭐️ Trek a long,time,ago!I have to agree….yes!It’s a good thing that they made Star Trek,because,these actor’s are no longer with us,anymore!😊
He was an incredible man, had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with him once, amazing gentleman and unlike some stars, not arrogant and full of himself in the slightest. Even so long after he has passed he is still missed and much loved by his fans and the fans of star trek.
R.I.P. Mr. Nimoy. You will always be loved, into the 24th century and beyond. Logic was truly understood when you and all Vulcans were introduced into humanity. Thank you for making first contact with your fans. You were truly "Peace and long life" 🖖
If there's no actual taping of this, that's fine. Nimoy must of known on some level he was nearing an end to his life. He absolutely knew his notoriety for anything else would never exceed his 'Spock' character. Surely, Leonard is in Heaven- and we'll all get to shake his hand as we wait up to have conversations with Heavenly Father. :.) I'm happy to wait to see him, roughly 50 years, on Earth.
This presentation is a national treasure. What a far more substantial and profound man than so many realized, thinking of him as some nondescript character actor.
Leonard, in case you're listening, the crowd's reaction was more subdued than your HILARIOUS HUMOR earned! Bill would have to agree: this truly is top shelf stuff! You are loved and missed. For this life that you just shared, not just as the science officer.
The words of a great man, much mourned. 43:38 “I am an incurable romantic. I believe in hope, dreams, and decency. I believe in love, tenderness and kindness. I believe in mankind. I believe in goodness, mercy, and charity. I believe in the universal spirit. I believe in casting bread upon the waters. I'm awed by the snow-capped mountains, by the vastness of the oceans. I'm moved by a couple of any age holding hands, as they walk through city streets. A living creature in pain makes me shudder with sorrow. A seagull's cry fills me with a sense of mystery. A river or stream can move me to tears. A lake, nestling in a valley, can bring me peace. I wish, for all mankind, the sweet, simple joy that we have found together. I know that it shall be. And we shall celebrate, we shall taste the wine and the fruit. Celebrate the sunset and the sunrise, the cold and the warm, the sounds and the silences, and the voices of the children. Celebrate the dreams and hopes which have filled the souls of all decent men and women. We shall lift our glasses and toast, with tears of joy." "Thank you. Thank you. This is hard. This is hard. I thought it would be, and it is. I still owe a couple of appearances here and there, so I may pop up from time to time, you may hear my voice on a soundtrack, or maybe see a fleeting image of me on television or in a movie. But this is my final convention appearance. I'm so grateful for the support we've had, and for the love and exchange of love that we've had for so many years, it's meant an awful lot to me and to all of us connected with Star Trek. You've been gracious, you've been warm, you've been generous, you've been in a word wonderful, and we appreciate it, I appreciate it very, very much. May each and every one of you Live Long and Prosper. Good night!”
I"m being nostalgic today after reading I Am Spock and Leonard. I remember seeing him when I was at TExas TEch University in 1983 when we was touring colleges to talk about the next movie.
If you want to know more about Nimoy AND Spock, look for a movie called _For the Love of Spock_ made by his son Adam just before and after his passing. I believe it is available on NetFlix right now. [Just checked: It is]
Wow this is how you convention. Not that I don't like the chaos of other panels but this is a whole different level. Such preparation and story telling.. amazing..
Thanks for sharing this! I went to the 2016 San Fran. convention and got to see this and really regretted not recording it. I also went to the 2017 Vegas convention, but this was shown on Wednesday, and we did not get in until that evening. Great speech. Too bad there was technical difficulties in one of the critical parts of the speech.
How I wish Star Trek Discovery grokked this! (Tikkun Olam, baby!) 42:41 “What is it about Star Trek? What has attracted so many people for so long a time? We told great stories, and, of course, we the cast are charming and attractive. But, what is it, what is it? Why does it touch us so deeply and cause such a deep dedication? We know that we're told that it's about the mission -- to seek out, to explore, to boldly go, and so forth. But is it that, or is it something even deeper? I think it's something even biblical. I think it has to do with healing the world, trying to make things better, solving problems so that people can live more peaceably, more comfortably, and more fulfilling lives. And I think it's that deep, I think that's why we care about it.”
Wonderful, wonderful video. You find that there is so much more to Lenard than just Spock. He is missed, R.I.P. Lenard Nemoy; you were a great person, a great human being.
Excellent actor. It is amazing to also see some of his acting abilities on Twilight Zone and I believe I saw him on Perry Mason. By the way love the ad on the Japanese Garden.
MR. LEONARD NIMOY , YOUR CAR RECTOR AS SPOCK , WELL LIVE ON FILM FOR CENTURIES !!. NO ONE HAS EVER COME CLOSE OR WELL EVER PERFECT THAT PERSON THAN U !!. THANK U MY DEAR FREND , I KNOW U WELL LIVE LONG AND PROSPER IN HEAVEN .!!. SEE U ONE DAY , GOD BLESS !!!. 🖖🏻😳😢🌺🌹💔😢😎🇺🇸😎..
Thanks Leonard For The Memories may God bless you into the kingdom of heaven may your spirit in God's presence again thanks for all the memories God bless
Thanks for sharing this Jaime! I was at that con and was lucky enough to see it live....they showed this again at the Chicago convention this past weekend. This one means a lot to me. I'm glad I found it. :)
thanks for sharing this video. because of him I knew and apply logic in my decisions. when he said "live long and prosper" so that's what those letters in his shirt meant. logic kicked me, it took you that long ?
Many years ago, perhaps 30, I was having breakfast in Manhattan, Barney Greengrass and sitting at the next table was Spock. He looked up at me, I looked at him and gave him the V sign. He didnt so much as crack a smile. Now I realize he sees it 10000 times a day. Still, made my day:)
I was particularly intrigued when Leonard spoke about Zeus and the sword and also the Discovery of the Vulcan sign when he was eight years old. I then wrote this. How is the Tree of Life supposed to grow strong and survive if all humanity does is strike down through the center of the tree to divide its own self up? Should we let the sword of Zeus continue to divide the human race....to kill the Tree of Life and let it decay at the bottom of the bog? What happens when you replay evolution? You come to understand that the Singularity is no different than the tree seed. Both start out small and take in nutrients to then become thousands of times bigger than its original form. For the Singularity unseen only to God. The tree seedling seen by both God and Human. Both taking in nutrients. The Singularity taking in nutrients from the Universe itself and expanding into a million branches of energy that continues to grow as its roots delve deeper into the unknown searching for more nutrients. The tree seed taking in nutrients from the soil that came from the Singularity that expanded from the Singularity into being to provide both God and Human the ability to see the intrinsicies woven together between the Tree twisting upwards and out reaching for more light while the Singularity twists outwards looking for more nutrients too feed the tree with. Both a perfect representation of the other. The unseen of God and the seen by both God and Human that's lets us know the truth of evolution that is.... The tree greater than me because it lets me see that which only God can see. Without the tree I would never see what God has created. I would never have found my other self cloven and lost across time. Without the tree I would never have seen her, but only me. Behind the tree, the Daughter of God in her full light that my eyes can fully see and not be shielded from. The Seedling smaller than me but greater than God in the Singularity The Tree but the same as me. The Seedling... Greater than me.
Geoffrey Linehan Why? Because they didn't have Phasers? It was in the script. Before he was Spock you follow the script. Plus he was in the Army once. Yes it wasn't in the script, just an off hand remark I'm sure he didn't mean. Lighten up.

He didn't just play a man from the future, he was a man from the future.
CLASS. The man had class. He also had style and a hell of a sense of humor. I miss him.
Spock taught me how to control my emotions as a child and teenager, but Kirk taught me as an adult how to embrace my pain and turn it positive and win in what seemed like losing situations.
No one else could play Spock like him. Spock was my idol when I was a kid. Wish he was still here, when he passed away, I felt as bad as when my own father passed away a couple of weeks later.

Lisa winn How great that must have been, I met Mr. Shatner once.
Lucky Woman Lisa.
I fully agree... he was someone special ...
Such a wonderful, eternally humble man
This man is a class act
R.I.P. Mr. Nimoy. You will always be loved, into the 24th century and beyond. Logic was truly understood when you and all Vulcans were introduced into humanity. Thank you for making first contact with your fans.
You were truly "Peace and long life" 🖖
Leonard Nimoy a honest man. A good story teller and one of the best Actors. My he live long and prosper in heaven.
A remarkable man; a remarkable mind. A remarkable testimony. Shalom.
If there's no actual taping of this, that's fine. Nimoy must of known on some level he was nearing an end to his life.

From all the souls I have encountered.His soul was most human.who knows
This presentation is a national treasure. What a far more substantial and profound man than so many realized, thinking of him as some nondescript character actor.
How can we ever forget such a wonderful man. I miss him dearly.
Leonard, in case you're listening, the crowd's reaction was more subdued than your HILARIOUS HUMOR earned! Bill would have to agree: this truly is top shelf stuff!
You are loved and missed. For this life that you just shared, not just as the science officer.

Thank you for transcribing. It makes me teary eyed. He is the only celebrity I wish I had met. So many have told me, he was a wonderful gentleman.

I remember when n b c cancelled star trek l knew star trek would be back. Because it gave hope for our future
Thank you for posting this. I had never seen it before (I can't afford tickets to the Creation Conventions). It was wonderful.
Wow this is how you convention. Not that I don't like the chaos of other panels but this is a whole different level. Such preparation and story telling.. amazing..

Memories of this man will "live long and prosper". Corny yes but true.
Excellent actor. It is amazing to also see some of his acting abilities on Twilight Zone and I believe I saw him on Perry Mason. By the way love the ad on the Japanese Garden.
Thank you so much sharing this video, Jaime! Leonard Nimoy was truly one of a kind, and is sorely missed. May he continue to RIP.

He was one of the best…
Thank you for this 💫✨🖖
thanks for sharing this video. because of him I knew and apply logic in my decisions. when he said "live long and prosper" so that's what those letters in his shirt meant. logic kicked me, it took you that long ?
Spock showed me how to survive. Thank you Leonard.
Thank You for this.. He was the Star Trek.. He is surely missed..
Thanks for showing this. I enjoyed it!
Saw him in person at the 2011convention
Thank you for sharing this panel video.
Looking forward to the ENT, VOY, DS9 and TNG panels.
Have a great time at the con. 🖖
When I was little I always wanted my hair to look like that of Spock.
What a sweet man. Funny too.. ❤️😌
Good by Leonard🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻
God Speed, & thank you, for the brilliant work.
SO AWESOME.......LIVE LONG AND PROSPER............much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO

Awesome Interview
Pity you can't bring him back in real life.He was the one and only MR.SPOCK.LIVE LONG AND PROSPER and GOD WE MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU BEYOND WORDS
I was particularly intrigued when Leonard spoke about Zeus and the sword and also the Discovery of the Vulcan sign when he was eight years old.
I then wrote this.
How is the Tree of Life supposed to grow strong and survive if all humanity does is strike down through the center of the tree to divide its own self up?
Should we let the sword of Zeus continue to divide the human race....to kill the Tree of Life and let it decay at the bottom of the bog?

The Seedling...
Greater than me.
Rest in peace mr spock 🌟
Brilliant.
Creation loved the money he brought in for them.
Orson Wells and Leonard Nimoy both made their final performance in a transformers movie and both hated it. Don't do a transformers movie.
I was!
16:11 He should've said he has prior experience invading planets with Colt 45s.

Chicago, Spock, Farwell: AWESOME.
