Big ups to Brian Turner over at WFMU who found this gem on YouTube.
The Tube was a great 80's pop show in the UK hosted by several folks including Jools Holland and Leslie Ash (as seen here). It ran from 1982-1987.
This episode finds them exploring the nightlife of New York in the 80's...from the looks of it, I'd guess it's 1983 or so. There's incredible footage as they hit Danceteria, the Roxy, and and all of the hot spots of the day. They speak to the clubgoers, the DJ's, producers...this is really a fantastic artifact! If you weren't there, but wish you were, this will give you a decent taste of it.

This is an amazing find. Cheers for posting it!
Nomi died in August of '83, so this must be from late autumn of the same year. Awesome video grab, for sure. Thank you!
