Ride - Seagull - Live TV 1990

Ride on 'The Happening' TV series - 12/10/1990.
I worked on this show, so had a few video copies of performances from it. Unfortunately most were lent to other people, lost or taped over so I've only salvaged a couple. Ride's other track from this show is gone from my video so I only have this one. A real shame as I think this may be the bands first live TV performance... and it's great.

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

[@Parrish_Muhoberac]

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.

[@dirkjewitt5037]

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.

[@stephensams9784]

To me, Ride are the best band of my generation..I'm 52 and have loved them since I first heard them in 1989.

[@fatbhoy2002]

Same for me. Loved it too that no one else I knew over here (Dublin) knew of them at the time. A secret.

[@regfries8279]

I feel the same way. Hello from Australia.

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

Unlucky

[@34muggsy34]

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.

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

[@travb705]

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.

[@discosecret6363]

Craig Ferguson introducing Ride makes me so happy.

[@shoegazer93]

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?!

I saw them a few times back in the early 90's..they were superb every time

[@andymooney5091]

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!

[@johnIZaUWL]

Shame indeed

[@bigbadbillb]

Shoegaze was so cool....these guys, and bands like Lush, Catherine Wheel, Curve, Inspiral Carpets, etc. Bring it back again!

[@timothy790110]

Catherine wheel wasshoegaze? I only remeber that one song where he has agoateeand a vest. Wasnt thatrock?

[@bigbadbillb]

@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.

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.

Cos they were a harder (but better) listen. Not radio friendly. They were noisy as fook.

[@michaelgraham9774]

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.

[@whyisblue923taken]

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.

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.
