I believe he adored that place. I’m so happy that was where he spent his final moments.
Jerry Walker my name is Leon I see you in Detroit you did a show in Detroit I found a 400 people you gave us spectacular show I would never forget it
Club Kids=self absorbed backstabbers Not Nelson
What year is this please?
Nelson never did drugs I think.
Everything was about Michael Alig😮
I wish I could’ve met him ❤
Anyone know the name of the song at the beginning?
Michael is so dapper ! Good that he is doing well and can tell some tales about those times.
Aunt Nancy hydrated lol
RIP Dainty Adore (Real name: Mitchell Allan Marco) 1945-2006 🙏🏽
Wee need a Movie, documentary about Nelson. We are so lucky he caught thus and much more on video. Legend. RIP Nelson 🙏 I wish I could have hanged out with you 🌟
That was wonderful, I had tears in my eyes. I love you Nelson ❤
This is Strange men dressed up like women, I don't know please some one give me an explanation?🤔
You can hear the music on the radio. Five Minutes of Funk - Whodinin. Centipede - Rebbie Jackson. Solid - Ashford & Simpson. Out of touch - Hall & Oates Takes me back in time.
did anyone see rupaul?
What year anyone?
It’s been awhile, but I’m back, re-watching all of his videos. What a legend. I know his soul is at eternal peace in paradise. 🥰🕊️
I’m convinced this guy is a time traveler
These flash back videos are fabulous to watch; thanks To Nelson who would ever think to make them Nelson.
Trade totally becomes the focus of Nelson's camera. He is so handsome and with that model body
Wild to see Alig so young
Four dollars a day to use the phone ..damn even in today's society that is expensive 😂💯
Brings me right back to being a young artist in NYC but in the mid ‘90’s
I am obsessed with Deelite and Lady Kier!
As a person in my 40s I can see these kids look at him as being “aged out” of their group. Kinda heartbreaking. He’s like that cool dad who hangs around and is great for a chat, but not a person they want to be truly friends with.
That mole he supposedly had removed is still there. It’s hard not to believe what he really had was an HIV lesion there. Such a horrible disease, whether he had it or not. RIP.
What year please??
Wow, from 86 to 89 he aged so quickly.
Nelson your videos were fantastic Rip Bro ahead of your time!
Find those kids today
This looks like so much fun. Any pride event I go to now just entails people trying to sell me stuff
Was this at the crown and anchor?
Such a cute video
Before the internet ppl didn't get angry about being filmed
Very shallow and performative interactions
Thank you Nelson! You are such an icon yourself !
The shorts the boy has on was so common even in Hawaii
If Nelson was around now I just know his tik tok and instagram would have been amazing
seems like yesterday
impressive
The Airport Episodes were among Nelson's finest ❤
that vine is still there too! my 1st job in nyc was inside their apt - at that time it was a restaurant
A time and a place I wish I could've experienced.
lol mmmm that 80s cocke cola way way better then the stuff they make now they call coke is just nasty syrup and fructos corn crup and acid that eats rusty metal. they defiantly changed the ingredients. mcdonalds. dominos everything tasted better in the 80s and early 90s. by late 90s that's when they started filling potato chip bags half full of air lol, the 80s seem hapier everyone was always dancing and the music had better vibes then all the angery gansta thug hate rap people play and make now.
It’s crazy how almost 40 years later we aren’t that different
Pretty awful
I wish I could've experienced this NYC. What a magical time.
I wonder what the song playing in the background @ 7:20 is. Thinking of you Nelson ❤
Poor kitty wanted some pats and didn't get any
