Going to Susanne Bartsch's early New Year's Eve Party at Palladium in 1988 

I am so grateful that Nelson's work is available free for everyone. It is a cultural & historical artifact worthy of preservation. It brings back a lot of memories!

This was 30 years ago and is a better vlog than anything you can find on youtube nowadays. So many weird characters, odd situations, and it captured something real. Now, in 2018 most people just flex (use material means to make people watch their vlogs) but they aren't a part of anything, they don't have any friends and their lives are ultimately boring. The best thing about this was that nelson was part of a scene of all of these great people who made life fun without materiality.

Wow, I clicked on this today, just happens to be exactly 35 years later. Man, how time flies. I was the stage manager at a different club (The one with the steeple) Susanne used to call me at home, I can still remember her distinct voice.

People without phone at party..what a view!

The late 80s/90s were a great time. Enjoyed them.

My first trip to the Big Apple 1975 .I was overwhelmed. Times Square the billboards, lights,jjumbotron screens clubs, 42 street ,adult entertainment spots the nightlife and SO MUCH MORE, I`m from Washington DC and Amtrak up a lot.I never heard of Nelson and discovered him 2017 online and I look back and saw SO much more i did not know of and ALL because of him.New York then was a party world , NOW it`s LAME. SO much is GONE . I`m always at my computer with the fun times of the 70`s & 80`s . Nelson we MISS U !!!!!!!!!!!

This is absolute gold!!!!! I was born in the 80's but I'm obsessed with that time and wish I had got to experience it properly as an adult, this is like I get to travel back in time and see what it was like. Thank you so much!!!! RIP Nelson, thank you for these priceless time capsules when society was genuine and didn't care about subs and views.

80's baby..everything is real and natural.

The best youtube channel. Seemingly endless videos, but not from the present - perfect.

I was 16 when this was filmed..and even then wishing I could be in NYC. Love all of Nelson's work.

Fantastic. What an amazing time capsule.

If they only knew how many people would see this after all these years. Makes you wonder who would see our videos years later.

As an old Limelight kid who used to party up there with Michael, these are such a treat to watch. Thank you for uploading these! God bless Nelson.

Nelson may not be with us anymore but he will live forever with his time capsule videos.

Susanne Bartsch is so beautiful. I didn't see her in person until, if I'm remembering correctly, like 2003 (It may have been a few years earlier...or a few years later) at a party she was throwing. That's over a decade ago e after this, and she was stunning. Couldn't take my eyes off of her. And so sweet!

Love seeing the dancing around to the classics ("Somebody Else's Guy"!!!). And that sweet moment with Nelson and Blackout. This is so interesting to watch. You can feel the changes in the air, both in the club scene, and in the anti-Ed Koch material that seemed to rattle Nelson a bit.

If only he lived to know people do this type of filming for a living

Right before ❤️house and♥️techno, this is when they still played freestyle and “tunes” at the clubs. My heart still skips a beat when I hear Good Life play

i mean he basically invented vloging!! . thanks for all these video !!

The pre internet era... something that is so strange today...how did we get by back then?

Brings back so many memories was at this club in 91’ visiting from California at the tender age of 18 with a fake ID . I got so drunk I lost my friends and a guy who worked there dropped me off in a van where I was staying off of st marks st . I was 18 and so lucky the bouncer was a good ethical guy , it could of turned out far worse for me .

These are so awesome... Thanks for continuing to post them!

Lady miss keir!

Amazing videos, really enjoy watching these little pieces of history, thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Just got back from the club, and I find this gem waiting for me.

They were pretty forward bc many of the looks and musical sounds were what became popular in the early 90s

new york gay scene always light years ahead of everyone!!! :D

Awesome classic 💃🕺🍻

Happy new year, Nelson! x

It’s almost like you went back in time to record vlogs of yourself back in the 80’s

NYC will never be that good again

6:51 this is so heartbreaking to watch knowing they both died in 1989 with only a month difference from one another

First vlogger❗🤩

Would have loved to be a one of Nelsons friends !!!

omg i saw lady miss kier dancing on the table!!!

Susan's party looks so much better than Michael's was. SMH. She was probably a more genuine friend too

Who is responsible for uploading all these? There must be literally thousands of hours of videotape being uploaded here.

Larry Tee is so fucking adorable! what a vibrant personality

This is the same club that MTV used for the show Club MTV.

WE'VE GOTTA GO TO MICHAEL'S PARTY BECAUSE HE'S GOT

How can you see future

Would love to know what Keoki and Alig were arguing over towards the end. Also very interesting to hear Nelson's view on aligs sign

Is that Lady Miss Kier at 8:40 ?

I wish the club scene was as colorful, edgy and eccentric as this. nowadays people just look all the same lol

Did anyone catch what Nelson said was on Michael Alig’s sign? I couldn’t understand. Love when Nelson called out “come on Albert you cheap slut!” 😂❤️ they sure had so much fun running around to parties.

Woah Michael allig reference

Where'd you pick up that accent? It's quite a mix.

These clubs tend to seem much emptier in these videos than I would have guessed them to be.

4:22 name of the song please? Starts at: 8:54 till 9:20 also name of the song?

Sharon needles 9:32

Lahoma looks like Opie from Mayberry RFD when he's not in drag.. 😆

Track ID ? 7:00

What was the cause of his death.

This Susanne party looked so lame- I remember her parties being “the place” to be in the 90s, but this looks dead
