Better Off Without You by The Clarks

The Clarks' video was shot by Visceral Films working with John Lamb, senior marketing manager at Sanyo. Armed with six pre-production Sanyo Xacti HD1000 camcorders in early 2007, Viseral Films shot the video entirely in HD to showcase the quality of this sub $1000 video camera. The video was shot in and around Pittsburgh.

I SO LOVE THIS BAND FROM OUR OWN HOMETOWN!

[@rhondahunt6148]

I got hooked the first time I heard SHIMMY LOW!

[@jammiegarland3996]

Same!!

[@DrPepper45561]

Heard this for the first time at a concert 17 years ago, still listening to it.

[@jdsundstrom]

Just saw these fellers open up for Donnie Iris’ 80th Birthday concert. They were absolutely great…and so was Donnie (of course). 🙂

[@dinocamella5940]

I love Pittsburgh, and I love the great music that comes from it ..Love the Clarks

[@brianpapale376]

Best and most beautiful city..period!!

[@CraniumBomb]

I love when bands that start here in Pittsburgh and still include the city in their videos.

[@mmbmrock]

Pittsburgh has a abundance of great bands.We have the best METAL bands in the country.If the producers would ever come here thay would see that Pittsburgh could be the next Bermingham.

[@zeroflat24]

ive seen these guys everytime they come to the big butler fair. and probably 12 times total. the put on a heck of a show. proud to be a yinzer!

[@chrispap4957]

Love this song. Pittsburgh born and raised and this song hits home cause I feel this way bout all my exes...

[@Andrea1542]

I bet they do too

[@ivanlowjones]

Damn, I miss Pittsburgh since I moved to Tennessee in 2011. This video shows many of my old stomping grounds around the Burgh.

[@stephaniepaha1153]

me too!! where ru at in TN??

[@justincopple8222]

The Burgh still looks the same. It's always a beautiful city I always love.

[@bobkebob9980]

I moved in 2005, grew up in Wexford.

[@flapthecrapster]

@@stephaniepaha1153 me too. 814 to 731. West PA to West Tenn for the wife (she's from here) and the money. I MISS home Every day though.

[@flapthecrapster]

I miss the Burgh too bro.... been dahn every street from wilkinsburg to shadyside to the north shore......even after ppg let out lol. West Tenn ain't bad i guess but Middle Tenn is where its at but that comes with a price tag and from what I understand, east Tennessee may as well be like Seven Springs, a resort.

[@arkentertainment7377]

Was looking for this song for a long time. Makes sense tho cause I live in Pittsburgh and this plays on local radio a lot

[@alexglaser_]

scott blasey came to my moms birthday and held a backyard concert at my house. whole neighborhood came to hear him sing and play. amazing memory.

[@namr3h]

definitely proud to share the great state of pennsylvania with these guys.

[@zagnagma]

damn straight, i'm 20 minutes out of pittsburgh, i see these guys live all the time

[@mymojo1364]

I miss the burgh since moving south...brings back some good memories.

[@flapthecrapster]

Me too lisa, you ought to see all the black and gold in Memphis though it makes me smile

[@pensfan36010]

Love being from Pittsburgh and watching this.

[@UnkleJustin]

The Clarks got lotsa love here in Western NY State in Rochester, Buffalo, and Elmira-Corning. This song was played quite regularly on the radio when it was new..Especially on 50,000 watt WKPQ-FM before it flipped formats to what passes for country music nowadays ;-)

[@flapthecrapster]

Much love back to buffalo, you bastards got winter even worse than us (west PA) lol. I Don't miss the snow shovel. No wings ANYWHERE in ALL of Tennessee though.

[@michelegrieco8315]

I'm from Pittsburgh but lived in Horseheads for a summer, visited Rochester too. That whole area of New York and all the stuff in between is awesome!

[@trythistv]

Kpq is country now?! Man I left Steuben county in 2009, didn't realize things had gotten so bad since I left. Of course, where I live now had 2 classic rock stations and 4 "pop/rock/whatever modern stuff is" mix type stations, and all but one classic rock station have converted to country. Like we didn't already have 7 country stations. Not that I don't like country, but I don't like it enough to where I feel like we need 273 stations playing country and 1 playing literally any other genre of music.

[@HOUND-ini]

What a great, f'ing song!👍💚

[@TheAnxiousAdventurer]

This song just wandered into my head. I haven't heard it in years. I wonder if i heard a piece of it somewhere? Maybe I miss my hometahn. It only took 23 years to see the video. I never even knew they made one.

[@Paxtyn82]

Pittsburgh Rocks and so do The Clarks!! Woot

[@lilscrydvl]

There is so much nostalgia in this video... All the places closed, places renovated, Heinz Field, PPG paints arena.. That old school cell phone... Lol Man, I need to get home soon

[@alsippi17]

i hungout with the clarks last weekend. cool ass friends cant wait for them to come back to indiana. GO PENS!!!

[@timothymccormick5208]

Born in Cali, Raised in Morgantown, WV..... LOVE THESE GUYS!!... Moved down to KY in 2012... don't get to hear much from them anymore.. Miss Home, glad to leave the drama behind.

[@johnnykov]

is it just me or is Rob James guitar work always fantastic?

[@heidimeade237]

He's what I'd call a very "tasteful" guitarist. Hits the right notes with a great ear for melody without having to go all cock-rock Yngwie style flash trash to prove how good he is. David Gilmour is another like that.

[@humdinger77]

Just saw them last night at The Cellar in Struthers Ohio. Been a long time since I've seen them. They still kicked ass.

[@jeremyscott5596]

I don’t even know if you still use this account, but if you do, I miss The Cellar so much! I saw these guys there twice, once in October of ‘05, and the other in March of ‘09. Time flies…

[@humdinger77]

@@jeremyscott5596 sure does!

[@johnnykov]

Still one of my favorite songs ever...I love his singing and I think that the lead guitarist plays just awesome!

[@jdudey9369]

damn gotta love Pittsburgh really old school territory

[@AIGeneratedUser]

Watching this in 2024 is really cool

[@JamesFordJamesRFord]

One of their best songs. Good video showing the city.

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

I love this so much. Summer of 2006 working with Budd traveling the Jersey coast. Partying home on weekends. Life was good.

[@nordicomsystems8841]

You can see my house in this video haha...love these boys!

[@flapjackson6077]

That’s cool as shit!

[@crisaunt]

19 y/o still jammin out to this!! broke up with my girlfriend thank you scott for making me feel better

[@alsippi17]

favirote band in the world, and best live band by far ever.

[@christianniem844]

I live in Az now but in the late 80s and early 90s I would see these guys every chance I got. Sure hope to see them again someday maybe...

[@RobJoswiak]

This is so 2006ish. Clothes. Cars. Styles. I turned 24 that year. Great times.

[@alsippi17]

rob james is awsome. i met him 3 times and everytime he remembered me and even met my family. and i hungout with him and scott in indiana after a concert.

[@senschic]

Ahhh home sweet home! I miss my boys!!!

[@SonnyfromPa]

God I love this song. Had a rough night with the girl and still pissed off all day. Get done with work and turn on the radio...blam this song is on right at the beginning. Drove home with the windows and sunroof open singing the words at the top of my lungs... and felt so much better and even happy. Great song for dealing with being pissed at the girlfriend or wife. Oh yeah go Steelers! Love the Clarks!

[@rogicks55]

saw the clarks at the saints steelers suberbowl ralley in pittsburgh awsome band awsome song and go all pittsburgh teams

[@genietv6356]

[@mlranda]

Clarks rock and should take over the world :)

[@phxhvac]

The Clarks are the best band in the Pittsburgh music scene! This is an awesome video! I wish they would make more music videos and post them!

[@gmandersonjr]

Best bar band ever in the tri state area.

[@jerryswink8812]

Scott was a Cville guy so band played around area some. Long time ago from our home on Swink Hill Rd could hear them playing across hill at home on Englishman Hill Rd. My elderly Dad and cousin's husband heard them playing and announced they were headin over there to check things out. I convinced them not a good idea. I did enjoy sittin on porch and getting a free over the hill concert though.

[@dawnscott9779]

Favorite band then and now!! Nothing like The Clarks , so glad they stayed local !!

[@hollyschwab6322]

Love my Clark's!

[@jesseworthington1603]

Playing 10 minutes from my house at Paletine Park tonight :D Dying for it!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lildino72]

[@kyleweber6912]

Scott Blasey is from my town I see him riding his Harley all the time he owns the train shop it's a super cool hobby shop!!

[@dukecraig2402]

I used to be a resident bouncer at the Highland House in Uniontown back in the day of The Zippers and when these guys would come there before they hit it big, god I miss those days.

[@thiscityisdeadrocks]

Cant wait to see these guys at the Big Butler Fair! :)

[@LKx979]

This brings up fond memories of watching the Anna Nicole Smith Show when I was in junior high. By complete coincidence, I've recently become fixated on George Romero, too.

[@miguelavalos4229]

Best song ever

[@danielfrye8083]

Iup boy.... I grew up n elderton 15 minutes from u n clarksburgh 😂 I've seen u guys 10xs

[@RC62Scorch]

Holy shit the nostalgia!!!

[@FrankGennari]

I grew up in the Pittsburgh area and I knew right away where this video was shot.

[@mike21puma]

i love the burgh

[@wvucheerjr]

Im in Morgantown and vaguely familiar with the band due to 'Take Care of You'. Had no idea was the same band until just now, just a random good song i'd hear on CLG occasionally. These guys are good.

[@kenfresno2125]

13 years later and I still can't understand how this wasn't a hit. It's got the groove, the riff and the hook. I genuinely can't figure out why this didn't work. It makes no sense to me that Let It Go wasn't a platinum album. It's catchy song after catchy song. Oh, right, the guys aren't Masons, don't worship the devil and don't push communist ideology. That's it.

[@islmis]

Only 50 years ago, THIS was "devil-worshipping commie music". You're no better than those same fearful idiots back then. Nothing to do and nothing important to say.

[@kenfresno2125]

@@islmis It's a song about a relationship. It's not performed by someone whose name is pronounced Lucifer. There's no Masonic imagery. No one is covering one of their eyes. There are no bunny ears. No one is wearing a red star hat for a Che Guevara shirt. No one is quoting the communist manifesto. This is as far from devil worship music as you can get without it being religious music. You're trying to make an argument that isn't there to prove a point that doesn't exist. John Lennon quite literally quoted the communist manifesto. There is a rapper whose name is literally pronounced Lucifer. There are TENS OF THOUSANDS of music videos where the singer covers his/her eye, handles a snack, stands on Masonic tiles, etc.

[@90sKidsSchoolLibrary]

Usually not my kind of music but i really loved this song. I remember it was used in Anna Nicole's shows.

[@stevemandl5140]

never thought id hear this song again

[@066motocross]

Saw you guys at Jennerstown speedway last night! This is my favorite song! You sounded awesome and completely cool to me a 58 year old school guy!

[@waylonlegend4603]

I heard this in a dream last night. Strange.

[@dmauro3959]

me and my fieon really do like them i wish that they would come back to pittsburgh pa

[@Tegamal]

D Mauro seems like they play around this area all the time. My friend's band opened for them at Ace's in Johnstown a few years ago, they played a benefit for local community centers (YMCA, The Open Door, The Alice Paul House, etc) in Indiana 2 years ago (I volunteered there that day), they just played the waterfront in Kittanning last summer, and somewhere else nearby just within the last couple months. Not the Burgh, but not too far away.

[@ligonierlad]

hey yinz, grew up in uniontown and that, listening to these guys at the highland house! after we red'up we wode listen to the tapes of these guys from connellsville and go up to iup to party with them; or meet them at pirmanni"s to do a slawburger... LET'S GO PENS!

[@spyguy888]

They play at my uncle’s restaurant in wheeling wv!!!! GENERATIONS!
