From Kansas, we've had our share of tornadoes. Found this band a few months ago, I know I'm late to the party, but I'm happy to be here

[@seraphielvoneinem2961]

Welcome friend, RAA recently played in my home town and they were rad

Tornado 87 is in reference to a tornado that ripped through Edmonton years back, so with this in mind and with the huge storm that passed through Edmonton today threatening destruction in the form of a tornado, naturally I played this song as loud as I could.

[@PNM_79]

I will always remember that day and the night before. Wildest weather I've ever witnessed.

[@musicforchewfaygs]

song starts at 3:03 for you impatient heads. but the beauty of the video makes it so worth the wait.

[@MetalMagoo]

Had this stuck in my head for the last 48 hours, only knew every third or fourth word haha had a hell of time finding this. well worth it.

[@user-wx3wc4bo7c]

Fleetside drives me crazy knowing that there's a song that I've heard but have no idea what it's called/ if it's actually a real song not just a feverish dream....story of my life ❤️

[@Matt-zx2ms]

Thank you RAA, for immortalizing this unforgettable moment in history.

[@MrJustinVal]

I love this one so much. It's mood is haunting. A true work of art visually and a masterful piece of music by a legendary band!

[@scrunchycrumbundles8013]

if they were "more popular" you would hate them. they are aeroplane over the sea for the prairies and i love them.

[@darienu8409]

Armund Tanzarian so true

[@HlGHjinx]

There was no basements to have shelter in evergreen. None the less, I love this song

[@T0b14z]

Love this song so much, ❤️

[@Chrissylandy]

Favourite song at the moment, by far! Superheroes of Stoke sent me here.

[@fegerman]

love this song and this band

[@rubychanel44]

one of the most talented bands ever. too fucking good.

[@VisitorCz]

Never heard about this band before, I waited and it was worth every second. I gotta say, SaddleCreekRecords produce some great stuff :-)

[@gmpm]

E town represent! I was there baby.

[@carlofhd931]

this is my new favourite band

[@TrevorHuinker]

Definitely one of my favorite RAA songs!!! Come back to Minneapolis already!!!

[@micfed0]

it took out our trailer park. great song!!

[@mspray]

A video piece of art. No doubt. The music goes without saying.

[@veonnisual]

awesome song!

[@felon__degenres__]

Just seen these guys with The Hip last week in Saskatoon, Holy shit was it amazing!

[@akozak1840]

Made my day! What a find. How could I have not known about this for so long...

[@johnlemieux2226]

I miss Amy Cole so much, she brought such a great energy with her. Still love the band though!

[@clomino3]

Lucky for you she's back!

[@natenemetz2716]

Exceptional video

[@energetic0oak329]

it's funny because as i was searching for the biggest tornado to ever happen in my city (São joaquim in 1987) i came across this mastepiece

[@ethanhnatyshyn6505]

just bought tickets to your show in calgary, see you in october!

[@aislesmusic]

Just an all-around wicked band

[@TheOldHaneyPlace.]

25 years today. Wow. That was one horrifying day I'll never forget

[@TheBrodigy1]

me too man, they were very amazing. I decided not to buy one of their shirts though, wish i had now.

[@latent-broadcasting]

Amazing video! I love it and played it many times

[@stuligin]

I was in edmonton this day, my 73 nova ss was trashed. Crazy day

[@HlGHjinx]

We didn't have basements... love this song tho.😊

[@HlGHjinx]

I lived in evergreen. It was a disaster.

[@smileyranger]

Craig Benzine sent me here. (Wheezywaiter)

[@ziggyunsound]

I wonder why he keeps talking about the black sky? I mostly remember it being green that day...

[@bulltrout14]

ziggyunsound Very correct observation. Strangest shade of green I've ever seen

[@stuligin]

No way I was under it for a bit, and it was very dark, and scary. The hail destroyed my nova ss😕

[@mrejmann]

I definitely remember it being red and black. I was 5 though

[@mirkomaccarone9480]

great great band :)

[@isays]

cool video... not really a music video. just a video with some music in it. love the song, wish that there was more of it in the video.

[@mrejmann]

I distinctly remember this event, hiding in my grandma's basement.

[@gwentReznor]

Just recently found the RAA, and i can't listen to anything else. WHY AREN'T THEY MORE POPULAR?!

[@AllThingsGeek1]

Very pretty :)

[@aldpeterow6206]

Every missing PPl deserve to be mentioned. Otherwise we R not to be deserve to be a Humans. RAA One of my Favorite Canadian Band.

[@aldpeterow6206]

After Tragically Hip

[@aldpeterow6206]

Sorry my French. :)

[@RichardPriceElliott]

Dig-it! btw; dramatic asides do not work in music videos.

[@carter1209]

he shaves backwards at ~6:22

[@DanMarazzo]

Absolutely amazing song from a fantastic band. Just do yourself a favor and skip right to 3 minutes in.

[@DigitalVioIence]

God damn, a minute in I was just thinking "I hate videos that take forever to start"...

[@macartneyish]

amy... yum

[@candanceutube]

beautiful song! beautiful video! I don't like how the music fades out depending what room they show though...

[@WahlstedToronto]

Who's the girl holding the candle? Or standing I'm the candlelight in the basement

[@grayxo]

Gonna be honest I thought this was a mainstream song till now

[@sharpethinker]

Well a guy can't learn the song when the music just fades in and out :(

[@45weave]

what is this a green day music video?

[@stolenrims]

I like this video. It's long though. almost 9 minutes? They could have fit 3 RAA songs into this video. ;-)

[@RedBlushGurl]

Song doesn’t start till 2:16. You’re welcome

[@stueyvuitton5495]

Sierra R 2:23 (respectively)

[@RedBlushGurl]

Stuey Vuitton 🙄 lol close enough

[@lucypotato8793]
