Walking through Central Park to the Opera in 1987

[@nostalgicfragments]

I’m not sure why this is so addicting

[@b.griffin317]

cause it's real.

[@jasonjamrs7413]

It's a time capsule before the evil when people were actually free the landscape is amazing

[@kristianioan1089]

Because it’s so free I wish we could back in these days

[@TrumpCardMAGA]

His love for New York is so contagious. People used to love the crap out of New York back then even with the crime and drugs. Today it might be cleaner, but is packed with people to the brim and nobody loves it like back then. It's a beautiful time capsule before Giuliani and 9/11 happened and put a horrible taste in people's mouths. The only people buying those "l Love New York" shirts now are foreign tourists and people ironically...

[@kellykells8120]

That baby is 30 yrs old now

[@Bluespicygreen]

Kelly Kells I was 4 months old at this point, crazy to think about now.

[@guydavid6436]

I was 3 years old on this video

[@burkiadrian5518]

I was 9 years old on this video. 🧒

[@Danishlattee]

Kelly Kells I didn’t even exist until 2001 lol

[@pauloeduardomendes5625]

Yes, 😍

[@goddard976]

Theses videos are addictive. Thanks to Nelson Sullivan ❤🙏

[@kengeorgejones6855]

Thank you. I so wanted to go back in time and take that Little Orphan Annie game so I could see that too. I love how that stuff was just dumped out and they found it and could enjoy themselves with it. The whole atmosphere felt so free - walking around, filming, with even the parents of the kids not minding, going around the park, meeting that man and his daughter (I wonder how many other Nelson videos he was in). Just a lovely mood. I am so grateful to be seeing these - Nelson makes you feel like you're with him and in that point of time, not watching 30 years later. What a gift.

[@harpharp7909]

I wish I was living around the 80’s it looos so fun😭

[@harpharp7909]

Looks*

[@redbeacon4871]

It was awesome!

[@pagethreemodel]

‘What is this? A baby?’. Lol his sense of humour.

[@j3wsdid911]

These boys are fabulous.

[@peteradaniel]

We're gonna make our dreams come true, doing it our way!

[@LovelyLadyLissett]

❤

[@dannycostello1978]

You know something, that's the best vintage footage of Bethesda Fountain on KZbin. Nelson unwittingly documented so much.

[@MrShedinthepeg]

I get so excited when I see a new video from this channel!

[@dixienormous6969]

"what is this?" *points to baby* haha i love Nelson

[@Vinylzilla]

I wonder if “baby emily” knows of this video.

[@JB-zo7ln]

Baby Emily was so adorable there in her little bike seat. She even made a couple cute little sounds as if to say, "hello." 🤗

[@TrumpCardMAGA]

If baby me was in one of Nelson's videos I'd put it in my resume

[@dennybenz5846]

Nelson love babies, and animals. So sweet

[@dennybenz5846]

New York has changed so much. It now inhabits boring characters. Look at all these beautiful happy people without cell phones and taking selfies. Just a video camera filming real people. What happened....

[@blobcity3591]

if your comment was written on the wall like graffiti instead of on youtube, it would have washed away by now.

[@SmithMrCorona]

Dunno what city yer talking about, but NYC is still full of weirdos, nuts, crazies, and interesting people. And I'm one of them.

[@jmb1666]

​@@SmithMrCorona New York is an absolute shithole today. Most of the beautiful buildings have been gentrified and are barely affordable. Not to mention that Cuomo is an abomination who has ruined the city. You can have it, there are no more interesting people left...just the homeless and lunatic socialist Democrat anarchists. Enjoy!

[@sammavacaist]

@@jmb1666 You forgot all the multimillionaires and billionaires.

[@jmb1666]

@@sammavacaist Yeah, and most of them are boring, self-absorbed jackasses. No thank you.

[@loki6253]

I graduated HS 2 days later. This is great because I wanted to go to NY so bad after I grad. Alas life happens I still haven't. But here I can just a little, and NY is so different now.

[@laurenoneil]

Excellent! This is giving me life right now!

[@TrumpCardMAGA]

That Laverne & Shirley board game is worth about $75 bucks today if it's got all the pieces and everything is in excellent condition. I got intrigued by it and decided to look it up.

[@lillyrocks2011]

Who's the dad of that baby? Maybe she would like to know that she's in a Nelson's video, and with his dad. He looks so young and now he is like 60 y.o approx. and she 30/31. Time flies...

[@guydavid6436]

The little baby girl is to damn cute! Super cute

[@planetX15]

She would be at least 30 today.

[@heyborttheeditor1608]

"Oh this would make a good surreal scene" 😂

[@Danishlattee]

My mom was only 7 year olds and I wasn’t even born yet until 2001 lol

[@jesamani75]

I was 12 in 1987 and my daughter was born in 2001 also.

[@bilebily294]

Who cares

[@Danishlattee]

@@bilebily294 you cared enough to comment

[@dena81]

We're gonna do it our way!!! Now I wanna hear that theme song.

[@evawister-zaccari6594]

It's the yellow bandana for me 😅💛

[@heartstruth6875]

I like Hapi Phace in Nelsons videos 😊

[@Charlesbjtown]

Those golden retrievers are long dead now 😢.

[@jodimariedomingue1452]

Oh what a delightful surprise ! Hello !

[@bemo98]

Even the places that are “crowded” are nothing compared to today’s crowds lol

[@SmithMrCorona]

So dude liked watersports?

[@jacobbaranowski]

“Is that a joint?...Nelson do you have any pot?...yes...let’s smoke some...6:13

[@WilliamByronIs]

Eric Conrad and the hanky code.... yellow means, uhm... yeah.

[@AudioZer0]

I noticed that too 😂

[@bemo98]

Nelson was the weed plug for everybody 😂

[@jrd3523]

Yellow bandana in the right pocket; into receiving a golden shower...lol

[@TheIndependentLens]

It's cool how the game has that intro they do at the beginning of the show I always wondered what they were saying.

[@dennybenz5846]

Free opera omg

[@tessa7778]

2:18 😂💜💜 Also when he’s petting the rock 😂

[@MachineGun-]

💙

[@TrainmasterCurt]

I don’t know why, but Eric is a lot like Andy Bell of Erasure fame 💖

[@irenejanith2371]

YES CONTENT ❤️❤️❤️

[@b.griffin317]

Did they end up at the Delacorte?

[@SoggyAnimalCracker]

Sometimes, Nelson’s friends seem rather annoyed by the camera. :(

[@ariannapac6535]

I just noticed that too

[@Charlesbjtown]

This was futuristic at the time.

[@ExploringtheKawithRa]

I mean think about it, many of them were very high at the time , that shit gets both annoying and at times I'm sure some people had paranoia set in.

[@ExploringtheKawithRa]

Still classic tho, I for some reason that I can't explain enjoy these. Lol.

[@MyGreenPathway]

My favorite annoyed friend is Silvia 😄

[@Ladyglittersparkless94]

The baby and I are the same age! 😊❤️❤️❤️

[@johnnytheirishman3387]

Where are these 2 guys now? Does anyone know?

[@tessa7778]

“What’s this, a baby?” While pointing at the baby ahaha!

[@TheHolyMongolEmpire]

Whoa new content

[@he2227]

Eric kind of looks like Squiggy

[@cozmorio]

Ha! You know for years I thought the lyric was "Hassenpheffer Incorporated" as well. I think it was actually "Shotz Beverages Incorporated" though.

[@cozmorio]

Just checked...it WAS Hassenpheffer Incorporated...but doesn't Shotz beverage Incorporated make more sense? That was the brewery where they worked.

[@TheAcadianGuy]

That baby girl is the same age as me...so weird.

[@darthdennis6681]

0:23- DAAAAAMM!! They should've grabbed that Lil Orphan Annie board game as well....so retro!

[@sammavacaist]

So...this obnoxious Eric guy likes to get pissed on? And ther'yre walking through the Ramble...

[@jcolterh]

I think he might be the pisser.

[@sammavacaist]

@@jcolterh Left pocket would be the pisser, right pocket is asking for it. I think.
