Rick Nelson: Red Balloon (Live)

[Hipper34]

This clip comes from a film, 'Easy to be Free', made by Rick's brother David in 1969 and based around him touring with the Stone Canyon Band.

There's a CD, 'Rick Nelson In Concert, The Troubadour, 1969' which includes this track, and incidentally, Louisiana Man.

I've only heard this song on vinyl, sounds good without all the crackles. Any chance on finding "Louisiana Man" ?

"I bought myself a red balloon, got a blue surprise." Heroin. This is fabulous, he was very, very underrated. The last verse is simply fantastic. Tim & Rick RIP.

Ricky Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band .. featuring Randy Meisner, Allan Kemp, Tom Brumley and Pat Shanahan. I feel this was when Rick was at his best .. this man was so under-rated and was a big part of music history. But his music lives on.

I worked with Rick during this time period and he poured his heart out into the music.

Thanks for the video's they are so hard to come by.

Hope to see more of them.
