Wow, this must be pretty rare. And the quality isn't too bad :) And about people mentioning that it's not the same without Cherie: Yeah, the band was better with Cherie in it, but they didn't become sucky when she quit. Although I would like to say that I'd rather see Jackie playing with The Runaways, rather than Vicki. I don't care if they all insisted that Jackie wasn't an impressive bassist. I think that they were underrating her.
@IconVanity No, that was not the reason Cherie left the band. She just had enough of the bickering and fighting the girls constantly had and about money and how difficult Kim was to them. She explains it all in her book, Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway. I highly reccomend that book. It's amazing.
She was the David Lee Roth of The Runaways; she overestimated herself. She was a drama queen who was more trouble than she was worth. I love the work she did in the early years of the band but she thought it was all about her.
Cherie quit because she felt the music was getting to hard rock and also didn't like the drugs and heavy partying the group was getting into. Cherie left the group and did an album with her twin sister and also did some acting. She was in the movie Foxes, with Jody Foster, and she also did a small part in the movie The Twilight Zone.
Lita sang very little when she was with The Runaways; she was pretty much strictly Lead Guitar. After The Runaways broke up, she got some vocal training starting singing on her solo albums.
im missing cherrie in this video. I love cherrie voice but not Joan:S Cherri got a strong voice, and joan a little so. Without one, the runaways arent's runaways and without jackie too that's weird. I miss them!
Interesting seeing the band live without Cherie Currie. There is definitely 'something' missing. Cherie had a great voice - that is missing and the earlier charisma and energy isn't there. Maybe Cherie took that too? I wish she had stayed with them because I think they would have become a bigger band. Something about Joan and Cherie TOGETHER - something magic happened. Thanks for posting video. I LOVE THE RUNAWAYS.
hey dont dis joan jett. & i dont think the runaways 'died' wen cherie left...just became alot different, not in a bad way, not in a good way, just different. i guess they kinda went alot more punk mostly cuz joan was hangin round wit ppl like..sex pistols, ramones, & a number of utha bands and random LA/new york punks...lil miss popular there...
either way i think the runaways were amazing wit cherie on lead vocals & amazing wit joan on lead vocals. damn it the band was just flat-out AMAZING!
I'm lovin' Joan & Sandy singing the duet!!! The Runaways Rule!!!

So does anybody know where/when this was filmed? If it's in the States, it's the only US concert footage I've ever seen of them.

@lyddesk8gr8 yea she quit a bit after they came back from their tour in Japan in 1977, If you read Neon Angel by Cherie Currie It'll explain stuff

This also misses Jackie Fox big time. She was the strongest at harmonies and probably the most polished musician other than Lita Ford

This song was written for Cherie Currie and she sings it 1000 times better than Joan..
Joan stole her lead position..................
When Cherie left, The Runaways died........
