- While getting ready to celebrate New York's Gay Pride Day in 1987, Nelson, along with Michael Musto and Albert Crudo, walked to get some pizza and then relaxed at Nelson's townhouse at 5 Ninth Avenue. Video by Nelson Sullivan

This is the New York I loved. I’m heartbroken over losing that city. There will never be another so vital, free, raw, fresh, wild, gritty, creative, or achingly beautiful. If I could time travel to anywhere, as unimaginative as it sounds, I’d go back there.
If Nelson Sullivan was alive he would be so proud of his videos that are here on RUclips
Melissa Onorati I went down a rabbit hole starting with late 80’s -early 90s club kids. I just stumbled on his videos last night.I didn’t know he died. That is so sad. Time to go deeper down the rabbit hole.
@@mishmazy I wanna go with you. Send me some links please
what happened to him?
@@noahh.8737 Had a heart attack in his sleep, July 4 1989
April P. 😢😭
It’s like a gay time machine
Haha
Take a ride in Nelsons BigGayTimeMachine lol
😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Konga 5000 they were fighting for rights and to represent themselves publicly for once. Edgy because so many drugs were involved in the lifestyle.
Sounds like a great name for a band
Amazing to see how uncrowded the Village was.
"It's so pretty here, I need a record of everything- I may never see it again. There may be snipers out tonight!"
William Byron love it !!!! This is how I feel right now :-) 30 something years later ! Time is precious !
I really wish more people would watch Nelson's videos. I have watched them over and over again for a few years and each time I see something different in each clip. I think more people would accept LGBTQ folks if they could see them just living their regular day-to-day lives like everyone else. It's so hard to believe that Michael Musto is still around today doing the same thing he was doing back in these days. He really hasn't changed much at all. I really do wish Nelson was around today to help raise the standards of social media. He was a magnificent storyteller and I don't know why I have felt so close to him after watching all of his videos. He was an amazing gentleman.
it will happen organically!!!!
Michael Musto doesn’t get enough credit for being such an icon! ❤ Love these videos!!!
It's crazy how quiet everything is compared to now.
That's because back then everybody who could left for the suburbs 30 years before and cities had not yet become "hip" again.
I am obsessed with watching these. I wish I could jump into this timeline and hang out with everyone! 🎉
It was a great time in history. Gay people were mostly accepted but it was still edgy to be different.
There was enough technology to get most anything you needed done but not so much that it ruled our lives and dominated every waking moment.
The 80s kind of hit the sweet spot. People could go out and be themselves, technology made life easier but real people, face to face friendships were still more interesting. AIDS kind of put a damper on things but I would love to go back in your time machine with you.
:) If nothing else, I could walk around for a while without my knees hurting. I would be 22 again right????
Walk in purse first like haaaaaayyyyy
Same
I kinda only would hangout with some of them they seem kinda secretive and distant from nelson
@@joeyrinard2683you’re smart! One of them committed a brutal ‘ending’ of a fellow club kid! It was horrific.
No gentrification, no sterilization! And no Starbucks and no banks at every corner. These we were just neighborhoods that were affordable and a lot of personality.
That has happened in a lot of major cities these days. My dad grew in NYC, I was raised in D.C. The same thing happened in both places. Run down areas in Washington like 14 Street, which used to be strip clubs, X rated movie theaters and abandoned buildings, now require a half million dollars for a condo in the newly minted "respectable and upscale" neighborhoods.
Absolutely. The same goes for any city in the world. I visited NYC for the first time in 1986. At that time it used to be "THE CITY" of the world!! Back in 2016 nothing was left of what I once saw. To me NYC was THE example of crazyness, diversity, ... now it looks like a place only for the rich ... a big Disney open air mall... Still impressive but radical makeover. Gentrification occurs all around the world. Where do normal (or even crazy ;-) people go ? No more "spirit" .... sad thing.
Back then NYC was a place for artists to flourish. Anyone could afford to live there. Now it's just an asepticized playground for the rich. It's lost its soul. What Giuliani did to that city is a real shame.
If I could go back I would be running through the streets yelling “run!! Starbucks is coming run for your lives!!”
@@olika9076 Same in London of course. It's like cities have been lobotomised. Sad times. Now coronavirus is gonna bring more changes...& not for the better...for the average person anyway. Almost like it's been planned...
TF for Nelson's video recordings.
I'm not gay, never been to USA & never heard of Nelson til a few days ago but I'm hooked! Love him!
Best wishes from London!
It's cool that they had they're own inside humor. Rich friendship I bet.
Nelson vids are historical documents. Another great character who didn't get his dues in his lifetime.
knowing how successful Michael Musto is in his career...to see him struggling locking up his bike is awesome vintage video lol
Amazing how fast both time and life can change and move, isn't it?
@@ZnenTitan
YES ⌚🕶️
Lmao Iconic💖🤣✨😎
He's hardly a d-list celeb.
I see him regularly walking around the city to this day
Why am I so addicted to these videos? I have watched a bunch of them and love these people! So free and proud. I was 11 when they made this video and pretty well knew I was gay but it took until almost my 30th birthday to acknowledge it. Where I was from you could never have been so free and fun. Just amazing for me to watch. Thank you for posting these.
🏳️🌈♥️
Same. I was 10 and living in NYC so these video's really hit home for me.
Video is so real versus film. I feel like I spent all that time with them, and now I'm going to go home, take a nap, and meet them again later at Danceteria.
Such a BEAUTIFUL way to put it!!!!!
Nelson Sullivan RIP sweet angel, I was only 10 when this video was made but you are and will forever be a inspiration to us all!! Fly High Beautiful Soul!! Blackout was such a cutie as Well, reminds me of my dog Bandit!!
Easy there Liberace
Wow Nelson knew so many up and coming famous people. No doubt he’d be just as famous today.
"He needs some fries with that shake" 😂😂😭
That Bike, Hat and Shirt? Michael's the original Hipster.
Hipsters exist since the 60s..
Michael Musto was tall and SKINNY!???!?!!
Hipsters are just an evolved form of a beatnik. Nothing new.
11:23 LOL, Michael’s little dance and Albert’s “take this sodurr!” had me cracking up
We used to live. Now we watch people live.
Fuck. 🤯 . Best comment I've seen..
Nelson's videos are precious goldmines
I love how shady he’s being recording the back of his shorts😅
Lol
Thank you so much, for sharing these videos! amazing material!
I'm here for Blackout the pupper.
Michael reading The Village Voice, probably not but he wrote for the newspaper. Everything's so different now, no more Village Voice in newsstands. I miss the less congested city of 1987. Such a fun time to be young then and boy did I have fun there.
So jealous! What I would've given to have been there then
lol over 30 years later and we (gay guys) are still singing the same songs!
Him try to hook his bike up to the bus stop lol. I wanted to help him.
Mara India agreed
We are incredibly lucky to have all this footage.....🌈❤nelson🙏
0:53 'Just don't steal anything' LOL
i love when Albert & Michael team up, they are hilarious. I wonder where Albert is now..
I must agree, every video of Nelson's with Albert and Michael is too funny. soda came out my nose with the "forest green" comment. simplest things, its not what is said, its how they say it.
ass up in some back room deli with a leash tied to his neck and red ball in his mouth
Hopefully getting some help, he's clearly mentally unstable.
@@darthniloc6099 i dont get males acting like god damn women it's a disgrace
@@jhot2477 then why did you watch a video of two gay men?
FRESH HOT CAWFFEEEE Albret is goddamn hilarious
I love Albert haha
Do you like his outfit ? @@DylanRomanov
"That's all that's left after everybody's dead!"
aids. rip everybody who died of this terrible illness.
Nelson died of a hearth attack as stated the others I do not know , ru Paul's and another( that took turns caring for his dog ) are surely still with us
@@kickasses2121 many say cocaine was involved. It is even said that Nelson died with another guy doing drugs off his privates (not sure of the validity). Between drugs and aids, many didn't survive the 80's.
@@anh7807 yes true . Will never know .
@@anh7807 they did ecstasy and were doing coke as well all night and having a great time is what I have heard from a few people close to him at the time.
@@kickasses2121 Michael Musto is still a live as i found him on Facebook i don't know about Albert Crudo i couldn't find him not even on Michael musto Facebook friends list but i think i found his twitter
It's good to know locking a bicycle is the same struggle today as it was 34 years ago.
Back in the day when the village didn't have a dime ! But the greed and the Yuppie ism and the foreign investors was salivating ! And we now have the village of today
I will give anything to get back my apartment in the West Village from the 80s...I don't remember how the FK I got back home a few times. I left a bar a few times on Bleecker st. around 4 AM., took a shower and went to work✌
LOVED THE 80S
Thanks for these videos, they're magical
I believe this was before the real estate market exploded and made all these buildings into multi-million dollar condos and apartments.
The people that Nelson films are trying so hard to get attention.
He is by far the most interesting and fascinating one of all!
Oh imagine walking down the street and the gay disco float coming out of the horizon like Moses out of the wilderness! What a great town NYC used to be! A bygone era! Rip!
And here comes the BEST PART 💕BLACKOUT 😘
Nelson was so original...
That blackout in New York was not fun, though.
wow gay pride in NYC is nothing like that anymore, its pure chaos nowadaze. beautiful times. and Michael looks like Howard Stern, kinda
+MatimoreAgain That wasn't the parade.
I was just thinking that I marched last year...its a massive parade now...they are the trailblazers
Omfg at 11:35 "that's all that's left after everybody is dead" it was funny asf but not at the same time
That's gay culture
"TAKE THIS SO-DERR!"
The amount of Ford Econoline creeper vans in these videos is astonishing lol.
they were quite common in the 1980s. :-D I remember that as a kid in those days.
One of the best videos ever taken amirite??
Love that painting of nelson love his apt
I love seeing Blackout, he's the only normal one!
😅
The streets were so empty back then
It's interesting how much the Village has stayed the same. I recognize the part of 8th Avenue they are walking up. 😊 The power of landmarking.
I love these videos. Hugs from Seville!
Looks like 99 Bank Street where I lived ‘73-‘74, backdrop to bicycle chaining scene. Memories!
It's too bad Nelson passed away. It'd be cool to have him talk about his older videos like this one
With his southern accent
What did he pass away from and when?
@@joliev1 heart attack in 1989. Some say it was a drug induced heart attack. Cocaine i think
lol @ "that was the whole gay pride parade"
Jon Posadny LMFAO was a Nice Float thoe!
Love that... 'I don't knooow... *laughs 'just don't steel anything!' ☺
Ahhh summer 1987 in New York City :) Miss that
Nice to watch a vlogger and not hear them begging you to like and subscribe..
3:14 White Horse Tavern. Probably my favorite drinking spot in NYC. Still looks exactly the same too.
Right!! I also recognized it immediately. I’m 23 so it came as a shock to me hahaha
@@MarsOnStars are you boricua?
What a great film it feels like I’m back this is the downtown I grew up in. It may be gritty compared to today with all the yups and transplant money that came in. Was in my 20s back than a typical Saturday night was going to Great Gilder sleeves and than walking down the block to CBGGs Max’s Kansas City was also one of our spots Miss those days.
thank you Nelson
I don't know why I love these vids but I do!
What a great apartment.
mrblf652 isn't it though?
That apartment the rent 2019 must be a arm and leg today
Cool people can't afford to live in cool places nowadays. That's such a tragedy.
@@johnforde2344 it's a damn bar/ restaurant now
shawnda mccormick it’s a museum devoted to Nelson Sullivan! And the vine is still there.🙂
Maaaan ppl were kinda more relaxed and easy going, now they got all up tight n self righteous
Like in the 40s
now a days sucks
8:22 That sausage pizza looks disgusting.🍕
Jesus Christ, it looks terrible!
As much as it's praised, I think NYC pizza in all is TERRIBLE! No shade but SHADE
11.35 "thats all thats left after everybodys dead" pretty grim insight
It's crazy how the streets aren't clogged up with people who are going to see the gay pride parade because it's the trendy thing to do!
about as New York as you can get. Two Italians eating pizza in New York in the 1980s. :-D Love it. Cool little video.
I have only seen a handful of these tapes so far but it seems that he only started to turn the camera around on himself later like in 89. Either way, genius 👨🏻🎓
Actually, he started before then, like the video of his 39th birthday (1987). But, yeah, he initially followed others until he realized it was more convenient to film himself. He explained it all in this video.
ruclips.net/video/5Q5srHHUZVY/видео.html
The man making the pizza just handles that dirty money, and then puts his hands right back in the pizza dough without washing his hands! 🤢
Well, that's okay. There was money laundering back then.
@@moccalou Underrated comment
*moccalou* LOL
I just typed the same dann thing without seeing your comment lol....now I'm gonna delete mine. 😄 Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed the dirty dough boi. 🤮
Just a little more flavorful
I love these videos so much. They are a vital time capsule of queer history that people try to erase. Also, if I had Albert's legs, I'd always wear those shorts.
I would love to listen to Michael Musto's stories about those days!
… he would spit on all the people he used to know as he did for Nelson, Christina, RuPaul….
8:27 That is the shittiest piece of pizza. Hahaha
That sneer from Albert said it all lol
I remember those icy fruit pops...much better then the ones they sell these days.
They sold the best frozen raspberry fruit pops on the streets of NYC in 1987!!!
I was 19 and a bike messenger.
I delivered a letter to the Projectionists Union telling them all the porn theaters,
in Times Sq were going to tape and that film projectionists were going to be out of a job.
Theater owners thought it was funny to have a girl messenger deliver THAT letter.
I was upset and sad for the projectionists.
The union vowed to fight!
Long hot summer of 1987!
Bike messengers worked harder that an Olympic athlete in training!
Oh those frozen raspberry pops!! SO GOOD!
Are any of these guys still around? I was 4 in 87. Lol been binging these videos. What a fascinating time. That guy with the bike is dressed so awesome
Michael Musto is very much still around
Nelson died July 4, 1989.
Michael is still around and still a prick but much fatter.
Albert I don't know.
RuPaul is definitely still around and more popular than ever. To see the early videos of her early life is amazing. She has gone through so much.
That's a really nice looking float!
Yess!! I love the silver stars behind it
where'd y'all find idubbbz in 1987
Gwyn hahaha!!!!
💀
Kek
Ive never seen anyone take their bike for a walk before.
lmao!!! "Look at that wiggle! he needs a fry to go with that shake"! hahahaha!
And in a way it's magical to watch that for me, it must have been amazing living in New York in the eighties.
8:27 strangest looking slice of pizza I've ever seen
Looks like a gyro slice. Looked nasty. Not even pizza.
"Girlene stop that slurppin"😁
Love you Nelson 🌹❤️💋💋💋
8:21 guy making pizzas gives back money change then continues to carry on making pizzas :0 loving the level of hygiene there!
gotta love the 1980s :)
Another candy ass. You wouldn't have lasted long in NYC. Maybe now you'd fit in.
I just came here to say that I’m drinking some FREEESSSSHH HOTTTTT COFFFFEEE
I can see that the soda cans were a little more bigger back then 1987 I was 6 years old.Where are these guys anyway today?
The guy filming passed away a year or two after filming
Blackout was so precious
love to see a young michael musto
These people weren’t just gay, they were super gay.
Especially Albert 🤣
What's the coffee quote from?
Love it!
Can someone do a update video on all the regulars that were on Nelson's videos
10:20 I knew that song was familiar! It's used several times in Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, starring a young Sarah Jessica Parker! Love that movie, and I LOVE these Nelson time capsule videos! I'd be so pissed if I was a New Yorker and had to actually see Gullianni's wash down scrub of the city... Scrubbed the soul right out of the place!
I decided in 1990 when I was 13, to move to NYC as soon as I graduated high school. But by the time I could (just barley) afford to go, it was getting ruined. Old theatre friends who lived there told me not to bother. Oh the life I could have had!
Ha- a Kryptonite bike lock 5:43. I had one of those (but had much less trouble using it)!
What’s the name of that song playing around 7:50 when they’re getting pizza
@@Dino-lu4mq I found the song name! It’s Eye in the Sky by Alan Parson Project. It plays in the background around that time I chose
@@Dino-lu4mq yeah it took a while but I finally found it. Became one of my favorite songs ever since
Now I want to go on "DANCE TV!""
First thing I thought too!!!!
Does anyone know why he filmed in fisheye view a lot?
He said it makes him able to catch more people on screen
Wide angle lens
17:14 "There may be snipers tonight" LMAO
that guy watching his friends store or whatever was on another world
Vaxtin lmao 😂
6:00 what a wonderfull Mercedes!!!
What's your best guess as to how much the apartment went for at the time of the recording and how much would it go for today, in the exact same condition?
I'm from Louisiana so I gave NO frame of reference for that sort of thing.
$1400 according to Michal Alig. I saw an interview with him when he said these gu
ys plus Rupaul all lived there and split the rent. Not sure if that's true or not but that was his claim.
When New York was fun!❤
Nelson was TV Cameraman Good!!!
I wonder is Nelson’s dumpy home is still there and that it looks like today. Back then it was a slum, now it’s shabby chic and a steel at 2.9 million dollars.
