This is peak Ride at the top of their game Never forget buying Nowhere when it came out and listening to this for the first time on the bus home from college, pure delight
I was on a family car trip from New England to South Carolina. New cassette. Rewound this song 3 times on my Walkman. My ears were ringing after the first time. I was in awe. I’m 59 now and just took my college age kids - who share my taste - to see Ride play it’s Nowhere album complete and in order in Boston. Amazing.
Im seeing them for the first time in 32 years. I've waited that long.... Australia, of course. don't think they've been here but ONCE recently, and I missed out.
Best band on the planet. Extremely tight, cohesive, energetic, 12 string Rickenbackers being used beautifully, floating vocal harmonies, finger blistering bass and the best drummer ever in Loz Colbert. What more do you want from a rock n roll band?!
@@brunokoch672 If you get rid of morrissey I might entertain the idea: he’s such a turd. Otherwise I’ll take Ride every time over his tiresome pretentious bullshit.
Pure chaos! I loved it! Andy and Mark are great guitarists. But, Loz is absolutely insane on the drums, his speed, precision and how chaotic his style is, I could definitely see the Keith Moon comparison.
My introduction to Ride was the indie chart show that was in every Saturday morning every week around 1989-91 great days to be a kid who couldn't afford to buy records.
@timothy790110 I think initially CW was part of that shoegaze subgenre, at least with their first two albums ("Ferment" and "Chrome"). Their sound may have evolved and went a different direction, but not sure. Didn't follow them much after those first two records.
One of the first songs Ride wrote and still one of their best. And the loudest gig I've been to was Ride at Leeds Poly in July 1991. Shame my bootleg was confiscated during the gig!
My eyes are sore, my body weak My throat is dry, I cannot speak My words are dead, falling like feathers to the floor Falling like feathers to the floor You gave me things I'd never seen You made my life a waking dream But we are dead, falling like ashes to the floor Falling like ashes to the floor Definitions confine thoughts, they are a myth Words are clumsy, language doesn't fit But we know there's no limit to thought We know there's no limits Now it's your turn to see me rise You burned my wings, now watch me fly above your head Looking down I see you far below Looking up you see my spirit glow
Whenever I see or hear Ride. I think of a now departed mate. Who stole their Wah Wah pedal from off the stage in-between their last song and the encore. 😆
These guys kick the Gallaghers up and down the street all day long. As for the Roses, I really enjoy their self titled but Ride have more good albums under their belt than the Roses have albums to their name.
I remember watching this on TV- on BBC2?. I think the other song was ‘Taste’, if memory serves right. The way they played live in 1990-91 was just phenomenal, so much intensity, guitars thrashed to bits (Mark even kills a string on this one), drumming absolutely hammered. Ride changed and I have followed them all the way, but when I hear them now playing ‘Seagull’ or ‘Leave Them All Behind’, it fills me with so much disappointment because they no longer have the same energy- the songs are watered down and completely different to the point of being almost boring. I’ll still watch them live, and have done many times, but they need to rethink how they can recapture that wall of noise they once had- throw on a few more pedals, if need be.
Good memory! I only just found my work notes from the show and the other track they played was indeed 'Taste'. It was made and broadcast for BSB but some shows were shown on C4 as well I think.
Haha..I saw Slowdive in Boston in the 90's. I was deep into their music but had no idea what they looked like. Turns out the whole band was at the table next to me during the opening bands. I had no idea. Boy did I feel stupid.
Una autentica joya. Me sigo preguntando ¿hasta cuando existira en habla hispana algo que se compare a esto?. Pero al mismo tiempo me respondo : ¡ESTO SOLO ES POSIBLE EN LA GRAN INGLATERRA!.
Deberías hacer una investigación profunda sobre estos sonidos metálicos en toda LATAM. Hay demasiadas bandas, sobretodo en Argentina; encabezadas por Soda Stereo y el álbum Dynamo, del cual mamó completamente, en muchas de sus canciones, de los dos primeros discos de Ride.
It was like the late 60s psychedelic era had reemerged. I remember around the late 80s this sort of retrolike reach back. I wish something more like it would happen today. It's so bad that I did away with my radios roughly twenty years ago and haven't looked back. Between crazed rabid right ring, and christian fund-raising AM radio and hip-hop, rap, dance, garbage on FM, there just didn't seem any reason to keep listening. That isn't to mention the ever-increasing lengths of time devoted to the commercials for the pleasure of it.
man. that host was annoying. glad he shut up quickly. forever grateful that I got a "Nowhere" all over print shirt from Ride's merch site before it disappeared
@@eaglebauer944 I love those bands, but this crushes them imho - Ride has piles and piles of songs. Christ, the first two years of their existence was a GOLDMINE
I'm trying to remember. but can't...sorry, it was a long time ago! If I can find my diary/running orders for thee shows it'll be in there and I'll let you know here.
To me, Ride are the best band of my generation..I'm 52 and have loved them since I first heard them in 1989.
Same for me. Loved it too that no one else I knew over here (Dublin) knew of them at the time. A secret.
I feel the same way. Hello from Australia.
Unlucky
Same for me. There new album is incredible also. They played this song on the new tour and it's still just as good.
@@regfries8279 I think you're getting some tour dates soon. I'm jealous for that and the fact that you're in Australia.
The most underrated drummer
not in my house
Along with Graham Bonnar
I totally rate him.
Well, I’m a drummer, and I rate him….
There's drummers..then there's drummers mate
Such a great version of this song. Bell ravages that guitar and the drum work by Loz is relentless.
This is peak Ride at the top of their game

Seen them 16 times live and don’t plan on stopping there.

I always end up living in the worst spots to see good music. I'd sell my soul for one RIDE concert. I'm not kidding either.
Craig Ferguson introducing Ride makes me so happy.
i love how it starts sooo intense and never lets up ..
This is Ride, this is Shoegaze, This is Ride
Absolutely beautiful savagery of youth
Best band on the planet. Extremely tight, cohesive, energetic, 12 string Rickenbackers being used beautifully, floating vocal harmonies, finger blistering bass and the best drummer ever in Loz Colbert. What more do you want from a rock n roll band?!
The Smiths :-)
@@brunokoch672 If you get rid of morrissey I might entertain the idea: he’s such a turd. Otherwise I’ll take Ride every time over his tiresome pretentious bullshit.
Mick Jagger; any of the Beatles; any of the Byrds.
The list is endless.
@@softlightsymphonyband I understand where you're coming from but come one, he's not Anthony Kiedis.
Elvin Jones and Ginger Baker have just entered the building
Loz is like a machine, amazing drummer
This is fucking brilliant. How on earth do four blokes from Oxford make noise like this? Superb.
Fantastic English noise! Blistering drumming. I miss these days. RIDE forever. (Fan from California)
Going to see them in Primavera next year :) going to be sick!
Once I heard Ride, I've NEVER been the same ❤
Saw them twice live. 1991 and 2020. Still very impressed. I love this band
You are so lucky
Caught them in 2019, absolute burners live - the new material, too.
Just saw them a week ago in Seattle. So good! I had never heard of them until about 2 years ago.
I saw them a few times back in the early 90's..they were superb every time
This song rocks so hard Mark doesn't even need 6 strings and it still sounds amazing
the embodiment of what I learned what cool was in the 90s - and still is to me - from the way they attack their instruments down to the hair
That drummer is in outer space.
Best opening track to an album ever made!
Leave Them All Behind also
Pure chaos! I loved it! Andy and Mark are great guitarists. But, Loz is absolutely insane on the drums, his speed, precision and how chaotic his style is, I could definitely see the Keith Moon comparison.
My introduction to Ride was the indie chart show that was in every Saturday morning every week around 1989-91 great days to be a kid who couldn't afford to buy records.
Thunderous performance.
I believe it was 1991 in Tucson Arizona and have seen them in every state I've been in
Shoegaze was so cool....these guys, and bands like Lush, Catherine Wheel, Curve, Inspiral Carpets, etc. Bring it back again!
Catherine wheel wasshoegaze? I only remeber that one song where he has agoateeand a vest. Wasnt thatrock?
@timothy790110 I think initially CW was part of that shoegaze subgenre, at least with their first two albums ("Ferment" and "Chrome"). Their sound may have evolved and went a different direction, but not sure. Didn't follow them much after those first two records.
@@bigbadbillb yea the song i knew was "way down", a lot m8re straightforqard rock. Didnt know they had shoegaze history,
Inspirat Carpets? Not shoegazze at all.
Damn what a crazy sound.
My jaw just dropped, falling like feathers to the floor.
Saw them at Reading 1990 and 1992 Philadelphia in 2019 and London Roundhouse 2022. Amazing.
One of the first songs Ride wrote and still one of their best. And the loudest gig I've been to was Ride at Leeds Poly in July 1991. Shame my bootleg was confiscated during the gig!
Shame indeed
Been listening to Going Blank Again all week. Just as good today as it ever was. RIDE 2021
WOW!
Just ran across this. Great video! I'm surprised the band played live. Most of these TV appearances are lipsynced.
A wall of sound !!!...My favourite Ride song.
I've never seen this before - bloody great!
This is such gold brings a smile to my face that wah freak out
This is incredible. Thanks for posting. Can't believe we're 30+ years on this already
Thanks for uploading this, found this thru algorithm and rn its one of my 3 songs to repeat
My eyes are sore, my body weak
My throat is dry, I cannot speak
My words are dead, falling like feathers to the floor
Falling like feathers to the floor
You gave me things I'd never seen
You made my life a waking dream
But we are dead, falling like ashes to the floor
Falling like ashes to the floor
Definitions confine thoughts, they are a myth
Words are clumsy, language doesn't fit
But we know there's no limit to thought
We know there's no limits
Now it's your turn to see me rise
You burned my wings, now watch me fly above your head
Looking down I see you far below
Looking up you see my spirit glow
Whenever I see or hear Ride. I think of a now departed mate. Who stole their Wah Wah pedal from off the stage in-between their last song and the encore. 😆
Dick move but I probably would have done the same
Loved them at that stage. Saw them four or five times that year, never done that with a band before or since.
Ride's 4 best desert island songs: Seagull. Vapour Trail. Sennen. Leave Them All Behind.
Polar Bear and Grasshopper
Ill take Seagull, Kaleidoscope, Vapor Trail and Taste
absolutely agree with OP, especially on Sennen, lost classic b-side and possibly the best shoegaze song ever
I love uuuu
I can’t go past Drive Blind. It’s epic hard rock meets shoegaze!
saw them in Brighton that month. Was blown away.
Love this band so much.. got all their stuff. How good is Loz!
Absolutely brilliant song.
I miss 90s
Saw them a few years ago at Festival no 6. Ha a bit older like us all but still awesome 👋👍❤️👌
Love the drone.
wow.i saw them play royal albert hall 30 years ago.it was great
I saw them perform this in Boston MA last night. Still amazing.
やっぱりかっこエエね
@petecoyne, you've done us a great service by uploading this early video of the greatest shoegaze band. Cheers and thanks so much.
Pleasure, thank you
Spiritual OxRock.
How these guys aren't as big as the Stone roses and Oasis I'll never know
I honestly think they blow them both away. My favourite band. New tunes are great to.
Cos they were a harder (but better) listen. Not radio friendly. They were noisy as fook.
These guys kick the Gallaghers up and down the street all day long. As for the Roses, I really enjoy their self titled but Ride have more good albums under their belt than the Roses have albums to their name.
Because Andy Bell focused more on Oasis since it had the Britpop success he wanted. Ride was always the better band, but he couldn't see it.
spot on!
3:48 mark breaking a string!
Incredible. Thank you for posting this. Cheers
they were so young holy shit. like they were actual teenagers
Brilliant.

SKC Belgrade Nov 21 1990 ❤
The Who + the Byrds atop breakers of feedback
I saw them that year at Rock City in Nottingham I think. Slowdive supporting them.

You burned my wings, now watch me fly above your head
At the time my father described this music as "a lot of noise".
So early 90’s....
Geezus 😱😭😳😎👌🔥🔥🔥
superb
Awesome
one of mark's guitar strings broke
I'd never even heard of this band in the 90's...
great
Why didn’t Craigy ever have Ride on his late nite show, singing with Geoff the Robot?!? Balls.
A MISSED OPPORTUNITY indeed 😢🤬😢
Wow!
didnt expect to see mr. ferguson here
Vaguely remember watching this when it went out - who on earth was that bellend presenter, though?
Has Good has it fucking gets!
Cool.
THEYRE ACTUALLY BETTER LIVE
THIS SHOULD BE THEIR MASTER
We`re a string down after first assault. Mark Gardener.
what a fucking intro
Una autentica joya. Me sigo preguntando ¿hasta cuando existira en habla hispana algo que se compare a esto?. Pero al mismo tiempo me respondo : ¡ESTO SOLO ES POSIBLE EN LA GRAN INGLATERRA!.
Argentina, Perú ,Chile hubieron bandas shoegaze de la época.
Deberías hacer una investigación profunda sobre estos sonidos metálicos en toda LATAM. Hay demasiadas bandas, sobretodo en Argentina; encabezadas por Soda Stereo y el álbum Dynamo, del cual mamó completamente, en muchas de sus canciones, de los dos primeros discos de Ride.
No dislikes?
I don’t believe it.
still going strong
There are no dislikes in RUclips
