David Nelson has been away from performing for over a year, dealing with some health issues. Last night he returned gloriously to the stage, with the full David Nelson Band!
It was a California Kind show, which features Barry Sless, Pete Sears and John Molo (all 3 also of of DNB), as well as Rob Barraco and Katie Skene.
The show became a benefit for the fire recovery efforts, and then it was announced that David Nelson would be sitting in, and Mookie Siegel would also be joining, making the DNB line up complete.
In the clip above Wavy Gravy introduces David and you can hear the emotion in the crowd! David is very happy to be playing once again, and they launch into rousing “Rocky Road Blues”

Steve Block was a songwriter and guitar player, a BGP security guy, and a roadie for a number of bands, including Zero, the JGB, and David Nelson Band. He was sweet and loving and truly believed in rock and roll. He died of a heart attack last year, and a number of musicians are gathering at Slim’s (333 11th St., San Francisco) on January 12, 2012, 8 pm show time, to honor him and raise money for Sweet Relief, a nonprofit which helps musicians with medical expenses.
The musicians include:
“Steve Block Allstars”: Melvin Seals, Greg Anton, Stu Allen, Robin Sylvester, and guests.
David Nelson Band – David Nelson, Barry Sless, John Molo, Mookie Siegel, Pete Sears.
Act III: a couple dozen Bay Area musicians who loved Steve, including Patrick Campbell, Mark Karan, Peter Albin, Barry Flast, David Gans, Peter Harris, Inez Garcia, Bill Cutler, Joli Valenti, JC Flyer, Jessica Fierro, Pat Nevins, Steve Farzan, Dore Collier, Willow van den Hoek, Joe New, Steve Shufton, David Perper, Mari Mack, and Bill Laymon.
A splendid time is guaranteed for all. This will be a magical night of music, with some of Deaheadland’s favorite musician’s, and it’s all for a very good cause.
