Been watching all Nelson’s videos AGAIN this year. And this is how REAL REALITY TV SHOW BE! No drama , but real INTERESTING PEOPLE together having a good time! I havnt seen none yet w drama involved.... yet it’s still the best tv show reality wise online!!’ Unlike now a days. I wish I lived in this time instead of being born in it!!
Even though I am sexually straight, I find him to be honest with people and not immediately accusing them of being any word that ends in its, racist, sexist, elitist, etc. This was real reality TV of yesteryear, not the Hollywood Establishment make believe drama and comedy of today. I am a New Yorker who grew up in NYC during the Mad Men era. Most NYC subway stations still had the vintage 1920s,1930s light bulbs on the stairways and on the ceilings above the platforms. But that was another era, and today you can bring a DVD video camera without worrying about the lights. All stations now have florescent lights.
Although I don't have an entourage of friends like Nelson did, I usually go out like this solo and still have a good time. Both he and Anthony Bourdain taught me to get out there
People tend to look at the past through rose colored, nostalgic glasses and forget it wasn't all sunshine and fun. It definitely was a simpler time in that you weren't considered to be ghosting someone if you didn't immediately answer a call or text message, considering texting wasn't a thing and cell phones were... Well just lookup a picture of one lol. If I had my choice of living now or then, I would choose then. Today it's a struggle just to keep your head above water and everything is so much more difficult in alot of ways. Its so crazy seeing Nelson walking around spots Ive also been about 30 years after the fact.
Nobody noticed that telepathic moment between Nelson and Tish where they noticed the cute guy in the background, and she stepped back so Nelson could zoom in? Lol.
Yes that was my favorite part! This was the first video I had ever seen with Tish in it, and that was the exact moment when I thought “ok yeah this person is fabulous”! Love!
@@ruben3860 Do you even know who Tish Gervais (Brian Belovitch) actually is???? The first MTF transsexual to actually transition BACK...the darling of the religious right who now owns a pray the gay away center in Wyoming......a TRUE blight on humanity, nothing "fabulous" about IT!
good old days and interesting days of new york. .. love the gritty new york then the boring new york now. reading tish's book now and have not read anything mentioned of nelson. hope he does mention him in the book
I remember going to see it..there were some steps near the water and we sat down..then so did 50+ people..we all sat there for at least 5 hours people watching and talking to people from all over the USA..thank god for a young bladder..there was a very cute girl from St. Louis there who I hit on the whole time..but in the end she had to leave with her family..later we went to the Holiday Bar on St Marks and had like. 10 jack with Coke’s..so fun but a typical day in NYC...that’s why love I NYC..
@@stevengallant6363 I definitely do , I love his work and that time period in new York's history before it changed, I'd rather visit new York in the 80s any day
YES...finally somebody who KNOWS something! Clueless posters on all these videos are driving me crazy......And Brian Belovitch is now the darling of the "pray the gay away" crowd since he claims he was never gay and made a horrible mistake transitioning
That is not true. I am a friend of Brian’s. He married with a husband and in no where of his story does he say he prays the gay away. He got sober and decided he transitioned for the wrong reasons so has only Evolved and retransitioned. Learn to read before throwing untruths out
We should have put back the world trade center exactly the same and not allow anyone to change it. And say yeah, that's right they are back up bigger and stronger and better than ever. Someone must have bought around there and then they couldn't, just a theory. PUT THEM BACK!!!!!!! THANKS James.
I'm one of the old girls and I absolutely hated here ! I long for these days I can even smell the old new york in this video ! I would go back in a heart beat we where such a novelty unlike now ! This generation fucked the whole look up!
At 7:16 , when "can you send me a copy of that video" meant actually dub a copy onto another vhs tape and mail it to me
I loved this one, didn't want it to end.
i know the feeling
I find his videos inspiring. Makes me want to live my life!
Good! I hope you've been having a good time living it :)

After reading Transfigured there's a whole new level to these tish clips. Understanding her journey and struggles

he musta loved trish, he coulda done this with lots of people
where she git her energy????
Awesome video! I am a big fan/ lover of the Statue of Liberty but too young to remember 1986 (I was 2!) so I like to see videos from that day
I was 7!! my grandparents went. I didn't get to go until 20years later!
The first video of Nelson's I ever watched featured Tish Gervais! I just love her!!
She has great energy ❤️
SHE is no more...he trans'd BACK and is now the darling of the "pray the gay away" crowd. He is Brian Belovitch
@@nilbogllort2602 SHE is now a HE....like he once was a HE.....the darling of the Christian right his name is now Brian Belovitch
@@mrmikeyd2 I had no idea.
@@mrmikeyd2 Good for him. I hope he's happy.
tish was gorgeous
I marvel at the energy required to exist in NYC. All the up and down stairs to get on subway trains and the walking made New Yorkers true athletes.
It’s definitely not for the weak
i know, they live to be 89 those nyers
"i'm turning into a yuppie, I wanna buy VCR" fabulous
i got one want one????
And a iPhone and a GPS and a Vape and a Laptop and a 4K tv 😂
Best line ever!

@@mrmikeyd2 Of course I didn’t know, I literally just said this was the first video I had ever seen of this person. That’s a shame.
i saw that, he was nelsons type
@@mrmikeyd2 wow! That sucks.
good old days and interesting days of new york. .. love the gritty new york then the boring new york now. reading tish's book now and have not read anything mentioned of nelson. hope he does mention him in the book
I watch these videos longing to be back in simpler times. Even though a horror was unfolding with AIDS people in general were happier and more social.

Tish sounds just like the mother out of Bobs Burgers lol
I was born 4th July 86 😁
Do You realize Nelson died 4th of July 1989 ?
@@stevengallant6363 interesting 🤔
@@Roo408Do You know who Nelson is? This is his channel. Nelson Sullivan..
@@stevengallant6363 I definitely do , I love his work and that time period in new York's history before it changed, I'd rather visit new York in the 80s any day
I bet no one messed with Tish on the street she'd knock them out.
no one messed with anyone.
@@blobcity3591 bullshit
She seemed like she was a truly nice person..
Nice
❤️
I wish i am nelsons love
And now she can buy whatever she wants!
NO you idiot......SHE is now a HE....this is Tish Gervais who trans'd BACK and is now Brian Belovitch the darling of the "pray the gay away" crowd
Never knew about the K line!
Eerie to see the twin towers again
"World Trade Center" well this really WAS the 80s
LoL the absurdity the people thought back then of sending someone a video and not it just takes less then 5 seconds
Wow in 1986, i was 2 years of age smh smh smh
You old as fuck
35 ain't old
I was 6years old
J Q
You’ll be old as fuck one day also. (-:
Is this the same Tish that transitioned BACK into a man in the 90's? real name Brian Belovitch?

@mrmikeyd2 : Troll alert. This guy is a fabulist.

Someone must have bought around there and then they couldn't, just a theory.
PUT THEM BACK!!!!!!!
THANKS
James.
I agree
Agree
they were considered architecurally to be very ugly
The guy who owned the Towers made millions from insurance and made even more with the new construction. He profited big time from the whole thing.
Tish was addicted to crack cocaine at this time I believe. he now lives as a man again.
Oh wow!
I'm one of the old girls and I absolutely hated here ! I long for these days I can even smell the old new york in this video ! I would go back in a heart beat we where such a novelty unlike now ! This generation fucked the whole look up!
