FOUND FOOTAGE: See 1970’s NYC from CBGB’s to the Christopher Street Piers – Video

Featured, Gay News Domestic & U.S. Politics, , , , , ,

I found this on YouTube today while doing some LGBT history research and I thought I would share it with you.

Not exactly sure what year its from but because of the one shot of a guy wearing an Anvil t-shirt and the dress of others I’d put it at about 1974 -1975.

Highlights:

* CBGB’s
* Early Christopher Street Pride Parafe
* Christopher Street Bookstore
* West Side Highway
* The Christopher Street Piers

Take a walk down memory lane. This video is a true treasure.

  1. Hiya. That first band at CBGB’s is the Cramps. They didn’t form until 1976 but they got their start at CBGB’s – so likely that part of the footage is from around that time.
