Andy Warhol Superstar Eric Emerson Sings! Jackie Curtis Vain Victory 1971

Can never walk down West St. without thinking about this boy. R.I.P. Mr. Lonesome Cowboy.

oh that is such a great video!!! I remember first meeting Eric and his band performing at the Mercer Arts Center. He will always be in my heart. Thank you for sharing this with us! Austria

Bloody fantastic...

Wow, although this was made a few years BEFORE I got into the Max's scene...I loved Eric, we had so many good times...Larry, Kevin and Sesu too! But, is that Ruby Lynn Reiner in the Police type hat?

Thanks so much for posting this and keeping alive a wonderful bit of musical history.

Isn't it wonderful that you captured these magical moments on film? They should never be forgotten. Thanks for reminding us that they were real avant-gardistes.

Eric had so much glitter on that I'm surprised he didn't go into toxic shock. It looks like he was also wearing some sort of body paint.

I loved his energy too. He was SO wild. He was one of my favorite people from that scene.

I was too young to have been there and known him but from all I've read and heard, he was an awesome, one-of-a-kind guy.

I also wanted to say I'm a big fan of your "Superstar In A House Dress" book/dvd that was recomended to me by Eric's Magic Tramps bandmate and good friend Sesu - really great reading/watching. I will be picking up a few more of your DVD's as soon as my wallet allows! Thanks for bringing that time alive for someone who could not be there.
