The Long Ryders - Lights of Downtown

[@Mystapitt]

What a great way to spend 30 minutes...watching Long Ryder clips and reliving great memories of 20 years ago. I loved this band!

[@palominokid3002]

one of the most underrated bands ever - Stephen McCarthy was a freak'n great singer

[@DeanMk1]

Still is!

I was fortunate enough to see the Long Ryders at the Earl on Saturday, the 10th. What an awesome show. I'll never forget how much fun my wife and I had, and I will always be grateful to finally have the opportunity to see my favorite band play in person. Thank you Sid, Stephen, Tom and Greg.

[@chuckschillingvideos]

Still my favorite band of all time. Not for nothing, they are also gentlemen in the truest sense of the word and you'll not find an egocentric startripper amongst them. That they did not receive the acclaim many of us feel they deserve is really neither here nor there - fate does not always reward the deserving. I'm just grateful to have been able to enjoy their music and have it affect my life in such a positive way. Thank you Sid, Stephen, Greg and Tom!

GREAT video of a GREAT band! If anyone is in or near Atlanta on January 9 and 10 2009, GO, damn you, and see these guys LIVE in the States for the first time in 21 years! At The Earl in Atlanta. Go now and get your tickets!

[@splash733]

Funny, I used to live in Atlanta and that was where I saw them live for the one and only time. It was during the Two Tisted Tales tour at a place called the Excelsior Mill, which I'm sure got torn down several decades ago 🙂

[@bigbisb]

Roger McGuinn can take a good look at this and say, "You're welcome.....And uh, good job, fellas"!

[@ProbertFire]

This is a GREAT tune. Would have liked to see these guys do more...they were a good, obscure act along the lines of the Rainmakers and the Radiators.

[@sjames304]

Goes to show that the West Germans had excellent taste in putting them on the tv show - what was the name? Love Sid's Micky Mouse ears ;)

[@met66]

My god. What an amazing band. Thanks to whoever posted this. It brings back amazing memories.

[@splash733]

Twas none other than the late great Tom Stevens, Long Ryders bassist. RIP

[@llamasarus1]

[@elcottero]

I notice the Scottish Saltire and Lion Rampant sticker on lead guitarist guitar, cool.

[@DeanMk1]

That's Sid Griffin.

[@geoffcahir2081]

Why Stephen mccarthy never made a solo album beyond me!

[@maddog20400]

Looks like Stephen McCarthy and Tom Stevens attacked each other with the same pudding bowl and scissors. Nice do's, guys!

[@youamwho]

Ain't THAT the truth, man ...hah.

[@DeanMk1]
