The Runaways: Live in Japan 1977

Live footage of the Runaways live in Japan in 1977.

Currie is so underappreciated. She owns that stage whenever she is on it.

[@bernardoschmidt]

Absolutely.

[@judereece7918]

I know it's kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released series online?

[@joelzeke2822]

@Jude Reece Try FlixZone. Just google for it :)

[@BuxarooBanzai]

@howard bianchi oh wow, I had always thought that that was the original Currie in Wavelength, always knew she was a twin. Assumed the twin wasn't in the biz. Good to know. Anyways, she was my first crush when I was a kid.

[@movieman1556]

@@BuxarooBanzai What the hell are you talking about? Cherie was in wavelength. Her twin Marie was not an actress.

[@zachrizzo6525]

Rock and Roll was everything in the 70s. In the 2020s, it’s hardly noticeable

[@454ss_chevy]

It’s sad I wish Rock and roll was still what it was once

The coolest band ever. Women pumping out raw rock and roll.

Lita Ford is criminally underrated.

Cherie ROCKS the stage!! Love Love the Runaways!!❤🎶

[@sweetlittlerocknroller1193]

Ikr. Cherie is just killing the air. Joan is making her usual tough girl appearance. Jackie is rolling hard and kicking on her bass (Rolling thunder) Sandy, is oh my god.. Sandy just looked so cute!!! And lita, has her crazy, amazing kicky, dancy guitar moves. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

[@sweetlittlerocknroller1193]

The most inspiring thing about, The Runaways, is that when Cherie messed up, they didnt quit.. I

[@KibblesIV]

They are all so different and individual, you can see their personalities in their performances. love it.

[@ploppy9943]

Jackie and Sandy get no notoriety! They are so underrated! Hell, who am I kidding? The Runaways get little notoriety as it is! Such a great and important band!

[@cricketbat09]

I love the Runaways. Cherie Currie is amazing.

[@agamemnongames886]

The track at 14:50 I think is the best track and live performance of the group. The track showcases the entire band and has many little moments that come together and you can see in the expression of the band members the energy. They can feel it. Thank you.

[@qqrk1372]

Jimi Hendrix BEFORE he died. Now I get it. Thanx, Lita!

[@MrManuNuma]

The last perfomance of Cherry Bomb is SICK

[@nausetlight]

I was lucky enough to see and meet them prior to the Japan tour. A memorable night seeing them live at the Rat in Boston and then having the chance to photograph them the next day for a magazine article.

[@marshakevinoshea2090]

these chicks rock!!!! been listening since the 70's

[@johnellizz]

If there's one actress in Hollywood that likes exactly like Cherie Currie, it's Kristen Stewert...so they signed her to star in the "Runaways" movie...where she played Joan Jett...WTF???

[@DeathlyHallow108]

she looks and sounds more like Joan. In fact I think Joan handpicked Kristen to play her.

[@stewartmurdoch4394]

yes looked like joan.it was eerie how she looked like the young joan.gave me chills

[@DaveSr]

Don't be sexual pervs; these girls made history at a young age. They showed us men that any one can ROCK n ROLL. THE ladies out did 90 percent of the coming out rock in the 70's

[@MrJoeythebabykangaro]

Still sexy

The runaways are all transgendered, how the fuck can you guys not see it?

[@tylerkasuboski3366]

The Runaways' backing vocals/harmonies still blow my mind. So badass.....

[@SA12String]

Everybody was nuts for Joan Jett even back then. A no BS rock-n-roller who is still here, almost 50 years later. She still does free concerts for her home town, she still tours, now with The Blackhearts, she's 100% the real deal and is (and I've personally spoken to many female rock guitarists on the matter), an inspiration to 2 generations of shredding lead guitarists, male and female. God Bless Joan Jett. "We Are Not Worthy".

[@Maverikk68]

Lita always rocked a pair of shorts!

[@geoffp326]

"I'm getting so hot, I'm cooking like an oven!" Fucking rock and roll.

[@brianp6180]

Awesome video! Very underrated band. They were so young but could play. Lita Ford was so good to be so young. There is not a lot of videos out there with Cherie. Most are poor quality. To bad they didn’t last longer

[@faceman9117]

Great band.....thanks to Susi Quatro for kicking the door open!

[@jaime7957]

these ladies persevered like no other!!!...they were so much before their time...they remain the standard for female rock-n-roll,,,thanks very much!!!\m/...

This is the best version of Queens of Noise I've heard. They were in sync this day.

[@antonioberti1180]

the great and beautiful RUNAWAYS... enjoy the real rawk n roll music !!!

[@ajo3085]

It's amazing to listen to Cherie's voice on a song like Neon Angels and then read her book where she says Lita Ford always criticised her for lacking vocal abilities.

[@gtaylor1812]

Lita Ford has no business criticizing anyone of vocal deficiencies....

[@jarrodg70]

so funny around the 18:55 mark, the japanese hostess' talking while the girls are in total kick ass mode, you can see it on their faces. Love these gals!

[@kw1690]

Wow hard to imagine Cherie was only 15 then. Amazing stage presence.

[@jonahwhale9047]

She was 18.

[@jdez10]

Great memories, they really open the door for chick bands. Nice to see Joan playing a les Paul. Lita looked great. Thanks for the upload.

I believe that this first song was filmed right after Fox left; Jett is subbing on bass.

Jackie Fox (real name Fuchs) was a successful contestant on Jeopardy in 2019, I think. Just saw her the other night. She may still be on tomorrows re-runs.

She was really a genius as well as a talented guitarist/bassist. A real renaissance woman.

Id love to see Joan Jett and Lita Ford together now!

[@jayham____fromgeorgia]

Probably the most underrated guitar duo.. They really played so well together, and only teens for most of the time they were going.. Too bad they never did anything together post-runaways..

[@ajwinslow1]

@@jayham____fromgeorgia And they're so different in style and the way they played. They complimented each other so well that they still stood out in an era of great guitar duo's (Keith Richards-Ronny Wood, Eric Clapton-,Duane Allman, Dickey Betts-Duane Allman, Joe Perry-Brad Whitford, Neil Young-Danny Whitten, Dick Wagnor-Steve Young, Brian Robertson-Steve Gorham, etc, etc). Now that Joan Jett's FINALLY in the R&R Hall O Fame, the tables all set for her and Lita to jam. Or for that matter, WHY THE F AREN'T THE RUNAWAYS INDUCTED AS A BAND!!!!

[@MehraAllam1]

i love cheries energy

[@sophiat8250]

Cherie reminds me of Kristen Stewart, ironically

[@budderkupp1282]

Kristen could have played Joan or Cherie. She looked like a young Joan. But..if her hair was dyed blonde..she definitely would have looked like Cherie.
