Man if only they all agreed to reunite just for all the old fans, new fans and the younger generation as well =D we need music like this to dominate!

[AlicesFanpire]

Aw! Look at Sandy! 3:34, she was really loving this, as always! :-)

[SGidlow1]

A lot of that footage - I shot. it was spliced together to get the two camera angle shots with stuff shot by Rocket City Records. It was shot May, 29, 1998 at the Golden Apple on Melrose in Hollywood.

If only there would have been a reunion.

[gravitygurl27]

it's so awesome to see them do the same old moves from back in the day.... they look so happy! i wish they could've reunited before we lost sandy. she was so mad that they never got back together :(

[natipowerpuff]

Man, what's the date of these videos? early 90's?

[kpdave]

@natipowerpuff To be honest, I really don't know. I got them off of a VHS recording. Now I can't find the tape to see when it was recorded.

@SGidlow1 Thank you very much for the information you provided. I've had a number of people asking me about it. I always mention that I didn't shoot the video and that I got it off of a video tape. I hope you don't mind that I posted some of the songs.

@SGidlow1 So this is your material! Must've been great to be there! Thanks for sharing the date!

[DelaRosaCorral]

I love all of the runaways song but this kind of just became my ultimate favorite and I don't know why haha. It's just feels so good and refreshing to sing this song =D

RIP Sandy West

[VictoriaC0sta]

Sandy West, greatest female drummer of all times!!! Such a great girl, so beautiful, so cool. Can't believe she's dead.

[VictoriaC0sta]

Sandy was incredible. I can't believe she's dead. Greatest female drummer of all times!!!!!!! RIP

[dazzitboy]

Sandy's got the southern California hair! it's like randy rhoads!!

[kpdave]

What I love about this video is when Cherie turns around and looks at Sandy, those two can't keep their eyes off of each other. Shows true friendship. And Sandy never misses a beat either.

[waynealarsen]

I feel like I'm in High school again! and Rodney too. RIP Sandy West

[IconVanity]

So sad that Sandy West died. She was one my favorite Runaways member. RIP Sandy West. RIP to Kelly Johnson of Girlschool too.

[eiensm252]

fuck this was so amazing!! when was this ? thank u so much for the vid

[fallspeed]

@eiensm252 I'm guessing this is from around 2000-2001 because of the mention of the Runaways reunion. That almost happened around that time, but Lita backed out at the last minute and it fell apart.

[thankGodforDavidG]

3:31 awesome to see that big smile from Sandy, you'll always be remembered !

[fallspeed]

Cherie is definitely not the skinny little girl she once was. She looks tough enough to kick my ass lol.

[164man]

geat to see sandy playing so well

[fallspeed]

That was great. Good to see Sandy enjoying herself. Are there any clip of the reunion show they did with Jackie Fox in '94?

[267sam44]

Rock OOOn

[Cherimoyaom]

I have loved The Runaways since I was 14. I hope they reunite for some shows. That would be awesome cept for Sandy :(

[nikkiskg]

San was in her element, none will ever compare, tks for posting she looks awesome smiling that gorgous smile, man she so loved to play and she was fantastic! Curious to know which one killed the reunion by backing out, anyone know for sure, I heard it was JJ but not sure. Again much thanks, love you Sandy, you are so very missed!

[mka800]

From everything I read, the reunion was stalled mainly by Joan and her attorneys. As to this and other similar shows - supposedly Sandy had really fucked up her life and Cherrie was helping her out by putting some gigs together so Sandy could make some money and live decently. Cherrie is a really good-hearted person. And you are right: Sandy is missed and never could be replaced.

[nikkiskg]

Thanks for the reply, I had kinda figured as much, and it comes as no surprise, although I am not too sure about the part of Sandy being messed up as she was so thrilled and looking forward to this so very much, but I can't say for sure as I don't know I didn't have contact with her at that time, sure wish I had of though. Again thanks, really nice of you to take the time to reply.

[mka800]

Hi, Nikki - I replied to your message. Did you get it? I never trust youtube to send messages without screwing it up. I wrote a bunch of stuff in there.

[nad1yahoo]

The reunion never happened. But at least we have this clip as proof of how heavy it would have been. Cherie and Sandy had more prescence and power than 10 bands.

and those people standing around onstage were unnecessary.

[JulietsMama]

AWESOME!!!! I love these vids! RIP Sandy, we miss you!

[deemosswood]

Thanks for posting this. Wonderful to see them performing together. Great to see Sandy smiling so big. RIP, Sandy.
