The subtitle that mentions Cheri Currie singing backups with Joan Jett is incorrect. That's Lita Ford singing backups. Currie left the band by then. That's why Joan Jett was singing.
that is correct I was wondering cause i didn't see Cherrie but I don't think she was out of the band. I think she was temporarily unavailable cause she was busy getting her abortion at that time.

@@seanburgmeier yes Kim Foley there manager got her pregnant not a lot of people know a lot about them cause they were never much of a thing in the states but they were huge in Japan.
@@skarath Pretty sure Lita was playing a Hamer Explorer knock-off, not a Gibson. TBH I would take the Hamer over a Gibson any day of the week, they were making fantastic guitars pre-2008. Don't know what their current production is like now that the original owners sold up.
i'm 15 now and i can't imagine going on the road and doing everything they did! wish i was alive in the 70's so i could see how good they were, one of my favourite bands, each one of them is so loveable
So by now your what 23? I was a little kid and wasn't into rock when I was that young. I was only 7-8 years old. The fact you became a fan so far after they became who they are, is awesome! It shows that music is timeless and can span every generation. I did like KISS as a kid, but not for the music. The fire, blood, etc. I became a fan, or learned what music affected me when I was 12-13 years old. 🎶 I got a cassette of 2 bands. Side A was Twisted Sister-Stay Hungry and Side B was Mötley Crüe-Shöut at the Devil. It wasn't until I played Side B that I really got into Metal. Mötley Crüe became my favorite band. Soon after I saw Twisted Sister at the Mecca Auditorium. They opened for Iron Maiden. Who now are my 2nd favorite band. Tied with Megadeath. The show they both did was insane! I became a Metal Head! After that concert I was so LUCKY to have been able to see Ozzy Osborne and Mötley Crüe, Dokken, Iron Maiden again, Mötley Crüe 10+more times, Ozzy again twice, Judas Priest, Metallica, Aerosmith with Guns N Roses, Scorpions, and tons more bands. Cheap Trick and Ratt was also bad ass! My point is this music is, for me anyway awesome. To hear that someone your age is jamming to music that was around before I even got into it is bad ass! Keep JAMMING! PLAY IT LOUD. Remember if it's too loud, your too old! And your hearing this from a old f**k! Well old to you.
I was born is the early 80s when Lita Ford was... fully formed? First BIG crush lol I went back & discovered The Runaways when I was learning guitar; always cool to see someone young getting into the classics.
845callaway Joan jet a total fox and Lita super babe to always love both the same and Vicky is right up there with them in looks if cherries was still there it would probably be the most awesome assembly of beautiful girls tother at once if you had to pick one it would be a hard choice. Annzey Anne. Bye.
+squinkque Fair point but it worked and probably helped bring fans of both types. After a fine album, don't get why Joan was apparently leaning towards glam when they made the much inferior next one.
She actually copied her daddy Richie blackmore on her leg apart jump. She even is wearing the same exact outfit he wore when he did that jump in the beethoven cover song he did.
Just recently saw both Joan Jett on the Stadium Tour with Motley Crue and Def Leppard ; and around 2018 saw Lita Ford with Hailstorm with Lizzy Hale . THEY BOTH are still totally awesome !

+FreedomFighter2002 Actually, after 1973 The Old Grey Whistle Test didn't allow their performers to pre-record their material. Meaning that this performance, in 1977, was entirely live.
Is there a difference between hard rock and heavy metal? (Not an argumentive question. If there is a difference what is it?) No argument about one thing---Joan Jett and Lita Ford are both enormously talented.
She should have played bass. The bassist has horrible time. Makes the performance suffer. Joan should have been Bass/vox and them a 3 piece. Would have been tighter.
@@johnnyflyy5873 She did play bass for a short time after Jackie Fox quit part way through their tour of Japan and they couldn't get a replacement before the end of the tour.
+Kay Dailey wow I feel like a dumbass for not reading these comments before posting my own "Where's Cherie? / That's not Cherie sharing vocals w/ Joan" comments
All three have their amps dimed. That is how they always played, and they are almost drowning out their vocal mics in that small studio. That's how Joan gets that even tougher edge to her voice. Classic Runaways.
It dose its just over looked for money making shit like hip hop hip hop hip hop hip hop hip hop Jesus Christ give the damn hip hope a break for a min so some real passionate music can be born
Time feel here is amazing, relaxed and a bit behind the beat but still perfectly consistent. Unusual sound for this early punk music, tempo is on the cusp of the punk music to come but they take their time with it here I love it!
Just a note for those who wouldn't catch it: at 1:00 it says Cherie Currie sharing vocals with Joan... That's Lita Ford. Cherie isn't in this video at all. Just FYI
Right - the captions are wrong... This band are the Runaways after Cherie Currie and Jackie Fox left... The band as shown here are Lita Ford on Guitar, Joan Jett on Guitar, Sandy West on drums and Vicki Blue on Bass... This track was taken from the "Waitin for the night" album... Just sayin...
They repeat a lot of the old footage in compilation shows on the BBC four channel in case you didn't know. Look out for old stuff on hows like Guitar heros at the BBC. They made a few of them. Also some of the old Top of the pops repeats on the same channel. They manage to save a lot of whistle test footage. The BBC wiped a lot of old stuff. They didnt realise at the time vcr's would take off in the 80's.
Loved Lita in the 80s! Had know idea she played with the Runaways...not that I even knew who they were except for Joan Jet. Both great female rockers!🤟🤟
there's plenty if you look, mostly punk but heart, girlschool (metal), l7, lunachicks, devotchkas....list could go on quite a bit if i thought about it more. and while we're on the subject, we need more great rockers of both sexes, too much pop and rap these days. the record companies don't pay much attention to rock anymore, but bands go right onto youtube, look and find.
Joan Jett and the Runaways were awesome in this performance. Thanks. I remember seeing her a few years back attending a Tigers game on TV and getting interviewed by person(s) from the Tigers broadcasting network. She still looked great.
I love The Runaways. I like Cherie's vocals, but honestly, I thought Joan should've been the lead singer the whole time this band was around. Joan rocked this song!
This is way better than I thought this band was. Joan is a force, and Lita is a better player than I thought. Wow. Mad props. The rhy section is tight as well without being sterile. Love it.
Joan Jett is a FUCKING kick ass musician (and a KILLER actress!) Happens she is UTTERLY shy !!! I have a recorded 1/2 hour phone conversation with her talking 'bout the Blackhearts, and she is like a 12 year old, just fucking endearing sweet, polite but jumps on that stage and shes a beast. HUGE credit to Kenny Laguna (Manager) for putting her back on the charts with I love R&R and this is RAW in your face R&R , just like The Ramones . This either makes you want to smash a wall or take an or make you act like your grandma and get a Valium. I LOVE this girl!
Обожаю эту группу! Помню когда в 82 году я был в Москве и у спекулянтов купил винил концертного альбома "Made in Japan" как помню за 25 рублей ( большие деньги по тем временам), счастья моего небыло предела когда я приехал домой и врубил этот винил на полную мощность, соседи обалдели, долбили в дверь, стучали по батареям, а мне было похер, я слушал и балдел😎🤘🤘🤘 The Runaways это музыка на все времена.
go complain to BBC about it and have them reprimand someone that worked there 40 years ago, so many comments stuck on that one point, yeah I noticed it too
Oh my. Saw The Runaways in 1977 or 1978 (can't remember exactly) at a fairly small venue in downtown San Francisco. It was in one of the high rise buildings downtown. Can't remember the name of the place but the other band there was a "punk" band. These gals were fantastic. Went down to Tower Records the next day and bought their current album. Well .. actually the cassette. Queens of Noise followed by Waitin' for the Night best albums in my opinion. Can't believe there are some old videos of the Runaways on YT available. Like going back in time.
This was their opening song when I saw them open for the Ramones in January of '78. Backstage, after the show, Sandy grabbed me by the front of my shirt and gave me a deep kiss. Seeing this, Joan grabbed the girl I met in line outside before the concert and was hanging out with and gave her quite the passionate kiss, also. Over forty years later, I'm still with that girl.
Who the hell remembers the opening song of the warm up band 40 years later? I've seen so many concerts of bands I absolutely idolize. And i couldn't remember not 1 opening song from any of them. Of course we are talking bands from back in the 80,s. Like Priest, Maiden, Metallica, G&R, Scorpions etc. And honestly I don't remember the first songs. And these were the main attractions. I can't even tell you who the warm up was!
1987 I crashed my dirt bike. I woke up from surgery and there was a signed Lita Ford concert promo poster in my room saying, "Heard you missed my concert because of your wreck. Tried to wake you but you were asleep. With love, Lita." My mom spilled the beans that it was my best friend Rick's handywork!! LOL.
I saw this lineup of the Runaways at The Capitol Theater in Passaic on the same "New Wave in New Jersey" bill with The Ramones and the post-Robert Gordon Tuff Darts. No more Cherie Currie on vocals and bassist Vicky Blue had replaced Jackie Fox who left to attend law school! They were all great and Joey Ramone performed like a trooper with a burnt face after a vaporizer he was using exploded and he was taken to a hospital emergency room. That night he was one pink punk!
both jackie fox and cherie curry were gone at this point, they left earlier in 1977, first jackie in june, then cherie and lita had their blow up and cherie left. would have probably happened right before this recording. joan taking over on vocals, that's vicky blue on bass.

I have a recorded 1/2 hour phone conversation with her talking 'bout the Blackhearts, and she is like a 12 year old, just fucking endearing sweet, polite but jumps on that stage and shes a beast. HUGE credit to Kenny Laguna (Manager) for putting her back on the charts with I love R&R and this is RAW in your face R&R , just like The Ramones . This either makes you want to smash a wall or take an or make you act like your grandma and get a Valium. I LOVE this girl!
This is some seriously bad ass rock for 1977. It's too bad they didn't last much longer after this.
It's easy to make a badass rock song when you're just copying a badass rock song from 2 years earlier
77 , what a year!!!
AboutTime shoot shoot? 🛸
@@KingCrofty I just mentioned that in my comment I posted . This is a exact copy of Shoot Shoot from UFO
@@crisrose521 Most of her hits were pro songwriters or covers
Обожаю эту группу! Помню когда в 82 году я был в Москве и у спекулянтов купил винил концертного альбома "Made in Japan" как помню за 25 рублей ( большие деньги по тем временам), счастья моего небыло предела когда я приехал домой и врубил этот винил на полную мощность, соседи обалдели, долбили в дверь, стучали по батареям, а мне было похер, я слушал и балдел😎🤘🤘🤘 The Runaways это музыка на все времена.
How can anyone not like this? What's wrong with them? What happened?
WTF!?!? That's Lita Ford! Cherie had already left The Runaways. Epic fail on the captions.👎
go complain to BBC about it and have them reprimand someone that worked there 40 years ago, so many comments stuck on that one point, yeah I noticed it too
@@jasonmullinder : LMAO. 😁😂🤣 I guess reading the comments before posting my own would've been helpful.
That little riff in the opening is a direct pull from Michael Schenker on Shoot Shoot from Force It.
The internet needs some more footage of Joan and Lita together. Hotter than a firecracker on the fourth of July 🔥
Love how this song has epic guitar solos that are awesome!!!
女性リードギタリストリタフォードの艶髪金髪ロングHairふりみだしギターアクションは最高でしたネ!
Damn they are so good!
Joan did a great job taking over lead vocals. Great band
Joan steering the ship..... They held their own in 77' when PUNK was in his glory!
Alice Lam since when was this group or Joan jett punk?
Yechhh!
PUNK? Wow
@Nigel 61 yea I know, that's what I was saying?
@Nigel 61 Any bad rock band after 1970 is punk.
Oh my. Saw The Runaways in 1977 or 1978 (can't remember exactly) at a fairly small venue in downtown San Francisco. It was in one of the high rise buildings downtown. Can't remember the name of the place but the other band there was a "punk" band. These gals were fantastic. Went down to Tower Records the next day and bought their current album. Well .. actually the cassette. Queens of Noise followed by Waitin' for the Night best albums in my opinion. Can't believe there are some old videos of the Runaways on YT available. Like going back in time.
I just can't imagine a hotter image than seeing these girls rock! Lita Ford is a goddess of rock guitar.
was blown away how good this is.incredible band.
Gracias por compartir. Recordando a Joan Jett en su venida a mi pais. Saludos desde Venezuela.
This is what happens when you sit up all night listening to Michael Schenker. And then pinch the riff from Shoot Shoot by UFO. Dear god.....
lita ford was so hot back in the day. great guitar player, too.
I think she's still fairly hot, especially for a 61 year old.
Yes she was
Anybody that loves the Runaways should check out the Warning, three young talented sisters.
This was their opening song when I saw them open for the Ramones in January of '78.
Backstage, after the show, Sandy grabbed me by the front of my shirt and gave me a deep kiss. Seeing this, Joan grabbed the girl I met in line outside before the concert and was hanging out with and gave her quite the passionate kiss, also.
Over forty years later, I'm still with that girl.
Wow what a story!
r/thathappened
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I love your story!!
Who the hell remembers the opening song of the warm up band 40 years later?
I've seen so many concerts of bands I absolutely idolize. And i couldn't remember not 1 opening song from any of them. Of course we are talking bands from back in the 80,s. Like Priest, Maiden, Metallica, G&R, Scorpions etc. And honestly I don't remember the first songs. And these were the main attractions. I can't even tell you who the warm up was!
@MusicalElitist1 : My point Is that it's hard to take a story like that and believe it. Period.
Ano em que nasci. Muito bom esse som de guitarras ligadas direto nos amps.
1987 I crashed my dirt bike. I woke up from surgery and there was a signed Lita Ford concert promo poster in my room saying, "Heard you missed my concert because of your wreck. Tried to wake you but you were asleep. With love, Lita." My mom spilled the beans that it was my best friend Rick's handywork!! LOL.
I had the hots for Joan Jett when I was a teenager back I the late 70s early 80s.
They had a great sound, talented ladies.
Lita Ford and Joan Jett....dang take me back in time please
Man, that Hamer Standard... One of the most beautiful guitars ever made! Hamer took the already awesome Gibson Explorer and made it better!
Joan Jett is a female rock legend! I've always loved Joan!
I saw this lineup of the Runaways at The Capitol Theater in Passaic on the same "New Wave in New Jersey" bill with The Ramones and the post-Robert Gordon Tuff Darts. No more Cherie Currie on vocals and bassist Vicky Blue had replaced Jackie Fox who left to attend law school! They were all great and Joey Ramone performed like a trooper with a burnt face after a vaporizer he was using exploded and he was taken to a hospital emergency room. That night he was one pink punk!
Awesome, underrated band. Love them forever.
Didn t get any air play back then.
OMG, Lita has always been smokin hot!!!
Saw them at a tiny club in Denver about the time this clip was recorded. Great show from 15 feet away from the stage
both jackie fox and cherie curry were gone at this point, they left earlier in 1977, first jackie in june, then cherie and lita had their blow up and cherie left. would have probably happened right before this recording. joan taking over on vocals, that's vicky blue on bass.
They were still teenagers when they performed here. Incredible
That’s NOT Cherie Currie singing with Joan, it’s Lita Ford. Just wanna make sure anyone watching knows this. Cool video, thanks!
I love this video.. We can see Lita was metal bound from the start ! good job ladies.
Yes, she loved bands like Deep Purple
I love that Hamer Lita's playing
When this came out I was barely 5. Now I'm much older and this is still going is a real enjoyment.
RIP Sandy West
Keith Finsley RIP :(
Attitude and swagger for days! Pure rock n roll!
The middle single notes guitar line is from SHOOT SHOOT , which is a Michael Schenker lick from the Force It album in 1975 from UFO
This is by far their best song. Joan shreds this song so much more than Cherie could have.
It's Lita Ford not Cherie Currie (who'd left the band by this point). HELLO!
Laureen Zed , it s really .😄😄😅😅😘😘😝😜
So are you saying that is not Lita in the video?
CLUE: that is Lita on lead.
The caption shows something about Currie sharing vocals with Joan. I scratched my head at that too.
obviously she had not left the band yet.
Brilliant. Bought it as soon as I saw this. School Days on the other side. Still have it
Joan was the cutest thing back then!
Still is.
You need glasses. Lita is cute as hell... Joan is as appealing as a sourkraut ice-cream cone!
Both are beautiful. But more importantly in this instance they are AMAZING musicians!
I saw Joan like 8 years ago live and she looked like a leather chamois, that smokes meth. Godawful performance as well.
Cherie too
