- During the summer of 1977 The Runaways took Japan by storm becoming the fourth most popular imported mu
sical act behind ABBA, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles. Unfortunately most of the available video footage from their two month tour is of fifth or sixth generation bootleg quality. While not particularly Hi-Definition I think this video is still a bit higher quality than most of the footage that can be found on RUclips at this time.
With Cherie Currie on vocals, the dueling guitars of Joan Jett and Lita Ford, Jackie Fox on base and the legendary Sandy West powering the beat, the caliber of this band was phenomenal. Although they never had a number one hit (except in Japan and Europe), it's good to see that this supergroup has finally received some recognition in the States with the recently released Runaways docudrama -
For posterity I uploaded 28 minutes worth of the slightly higher quality Japanese TV footage to Archive.org, Runaways fans can view or download it here: www.archive.org...

Wow its so odd to hear Cherie's sweet, quiet little speaking voice then to hear her switch the singing neon angles on the road to ruin. Amazing.
Angels*
Absolutely agree- I always enjoy watching them the most during live performances! The Runaways are one of the most visually striking bands I've ever seen, thanks in no Small part to Cherie and Lita's magnetic dynamism on stage ♥
And Joan Jett's eyes.
Had they been around for MTV they undoubtedly would've sold millions of albums. A great band who aside from having good tunes were very easy on the eyes...and only in their teens to boot.
Great Band Yes school Days memory 😆. RIP Sandy West Great drummer 💯 Rock Queen to. Love you 💕💕💕
Too*
I miss Sandy too. She was awesome 😎
Sandy West is my hero!
Me to she was the Best drummer. Rip Sandy West 💕💕💕
Wow. Cherie's range in Neon Angels is amazing. She had a great future. Too bad it she was so young and had to get rid of her addictions. I think she's was definitely one of the best female performers. It would have being great if she would've joined Joan, stood clean and made their own band by themselves, away from so many people's exploitation.
And I guess Cherie hated singing Neon Angels because of the high notes that she had to hit. Her voice sometimes cracked and she went off key on those high parts. So, she no longer wanted to do live performances of Neon Angels for that reason.
carmaj156 I agree
They never compromised their principle for rock n roll .. to have fun and play your ass off.. they did just that, They were a blast to see..

1:41 best part. Look at CHERIE :)
Now that's Rock n Roll!!

Too*
Actually Lita does want to do a reunion tour next year. Her new cd is called Living Like a Runaway and is dedicated the other Runaways members. As for the reunion she has stated it's in Joan's hands. Doubt she would do it without Sandy and really doesn't need to. She's a legend. Lita may be sincere or just wants cash. She has never played Runaways songs live as solo artist. Her fans are not Runaways fans. Joan Jett continues to play Runaways songs live and her fans are Runaways fans.
227 likes, NO DISLIKES FOR THE QUEENS OF NOISE!! YEAH!!
Lita rocks!!!! \m/
Very Nice,..
They deserve more fame, recognition and attention. They're cooler than Suzi Quattro. Best Female Rock Team. Cherie Currie is a strong singer at her 16
THEY WERE BIG IN JAPAN , MAYBE DUE TO, WOMEN HAVE LITTLE FREEDOM IN JAPAN, AND THESE LA CHICKS BLEW THEIR EASTERN MINDS ..AND THE BAND HAD TWO OF THE BEST female GUITAR PLAYERS IN THE WORLD .
"Not just one of your toys." - Great lyrics.
2:49 Hehehe im so obsessed :)
Epic American Goddesses !
Cherie looks exactly like my mother. It's frightening.
Damn Lita Ford is gorgeous how young is she in this video?
about 19 - 21
Lita was born Sept.19, 1958; this is a clip from (month?)1977. So, she must be 18 OR 19 in this clip.!
My computer won't download the slightly higher quality. Can you upload the other Runaways stuff you have if you don't mind. I'd really appreciate it!!!
" Heaven Sent " ...
Just realised how much Haim owe to the Runaways for their look and moves.
I can't believe that Lita refuses to have any involvement with any of the other members of the band. Mainly after Sandy died
Even here Joan Jett was clearly a bigger deal
The girl on the right with the black guitar is going HAM lol
Queens of noise
LITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Beautiful stage set but the lighting technician must have been absent.
結構、上手い、プロだ
To be fair. Lita's playing the lead guitar doing that :P
What could have been.
That's not Micky Steele on bass guitar
axel8591 that’s Jackie Fox...
The height of Western Civilization.
hahahaha I agree
my ears my ears i cannot hear
I like Jacky as a bass player - but when Cherie left the group the band needed a new front singer - Blondie could have help them out.
sounds horribly low volume
Watch out, the grammar police are trolling here.
Runaways weren't much musically. Attitude and looks was all that was important --- all they could do, basically, since they weren't musicians at all. Today, Japanese girl groups like GF are the best in the world. America has faded into nothing. Not a single girl group worth anything that plays their own instruments. Never has been really. The Bangles were pretty inept too. And Heart was not all-girl. Even if you're a great female vocalist, it's almost impossible to put together an all-girl group that is worth anything. Why is that? Who knows. If you're a twelve yr old boy, you come home after school, grab your guitar and practice for hours ... every day. If you're a twelve year old girl, you practice putting on makeup and wearing outfits ... anything but practicing drums or bass ... what girl wants to play drums or bass? In Japan, lots. In America, pffttt.
moron
to bad this was filmed with a taco cam
You mean Sushi-Cam?
ya that would prob film about the same. lol I was kinda referring to 1950s video cameras.
Too*
They were AWFUL!
Schnazzybo Talion really?
this isn't your taste boooohooo go listen to something else.
