Rage Against the Machine - Clear the Lane 1991

[newtsfactor]

Sometimes it takes a while for talent to be recognised....

[caddy1010]

That dude in front can say he is the first true RAGE fan!

[Jewishguywithbignose]

They are so underrated :(

[IcyMcHotPants]

Clear the lane is an awesome song, but if you pause at 1:19 open up and play my hero by the foo fighters and watch the rage video on mute, the switch should take about 1 second if both vids are loaded up, I guarantee you will not stop laughing. The red t-shirt guy is being bad ass, also tom and brad are in-sync with the song half of the time.

[jaypinx]

nothing beats RATM. outstanding performance, shitty crowd, best fan (red shirt guy).

what more we could ask for?

maybe the crowd went to a wrong place.

[B0l0joe]

return of the red shirt guy!!

[Robinhoodarch]

Its fascinating to watch all of the new fans pile up as the show goes on.

[templedown]

holy crap! why couldn't i have been at that show! the dude in the red shirt kicks ass! cripe, even the black dude wasn't interested when zach was flowin ;)

[Dilly5]

What a shit crowd..

[64ratm64]

Red shirt guy shall forever live in infamy for his absolutely filthy footwork

[Jordo1900]

[jackkoslov]

[fricalke]

the dancing man is so cool. he has the courage to dance and that's great...

[eyponyme]

I think he's drunk =o

[hivelocity100]

Yea, seriously....I give anyone credit for having the balls and just doing whatever and not care what people think

[ecxgajs]

its on live an rare this song

[rmnewlife]

was their last show chicago in august 2008?

[GIAMBIBROTHERS2]

last concert was St Paul Minnisota September 2 2008 and they did it Acapella style cause the RNC would not let them go on stage the last time they played together was December 16 2009 on the bbc live

[AHScrewedu]

its cool funk

[TheRaisedFist29]

actually thier first show was in someones living room xD

[GIAMBIBROTHERS2]

true i wonder if their is a recording of it somewhere

[orphinemorph08]

finally a dude actually gettin down to the fucken historical first show!

[MTM9559]

no way. this fuckin'  rocks!!

[cannibalonXthedead]

did tom use arm the homeless for this show? it looks like it sometimes but its hard to tell

[mfgdrummer]

when tim talks it always sounds like "BLAGH" haha

i think i found this concert on dime or zomb or somewhere, is that where you found it, too?

[sleeplessmind]

fucking shit is phat. evryone knows it is but they need validation from the rest of the sheep before they rock out

[magic367]

dude this crowd is dead, id be shitting my pants by now if i got to see them, rage for life

[DJEggoYo]

FSHO

[ChunkyButtjuice]

FUCKING awsome man, the red guy is doing the 90`s dance : D

Great clip!!

[j0n0j0n088]

The song is awesome aswell, red shirt does make the vid more entertaining tho

[fitzyuc]

Red shirted guy FTW!!! As if he is not so inspirational as to make the rest of the crowd dance. They are ze retards. RATM!!!

[ragefan4ever92]

1:22 rages first big fan

[VincentValentineXIII]

guy in the red is my hero

[Mikedub89]

He's trippin on acid...

[JoeFox1014]

who the hell is that retard dancing in the front??

[PFMproductions]

Retard? At least he has confidence to dance when everyone is just standing there. Its so annoying when you're on stage when no one in the audience moves even if they like. There needs to be more people like that guy in red

[kalvin1703]

Well I've uploaded Autologic, Mindsets a Threat & Narrows (3 rarest songs from their demo)

[cnmaster01]

drum beat and chord proggressions sound kinda more like something out of lock out than rage

[VincentValentineXIII]

well Brad did audition for Lock Up and Tom actually was their guitarist

[skatertrev7]

Love IT!!! dundundundundundun dun dun dun! dow... GETDOWN. The way Tim says it made me lol... but im insane so whatever.

[teddy340]

i LOL'd at 1:22 when the guy in the red shirt walks up to the front of the stage and starts dancin'

[skatertrev7]

Lol-enburg!!!

[KennethKaniffFromCT]

wow GREAT video! Is this really their first ever show?

[Piexing]

Their first public show. Their first show ever was in the living room of a friend of Timmy C's.

[alxxtrm1]

Look at Timmy C. his long black hair

[ObeyTheFunktipuss]

anyone else think zack looks like OG Loc in these early vids?

[1FUNDAMENTALIST1]

hell yeah...haha....

[somuch4freedom]

Timmy's bassline always reminded me of Super MArio.

[EndOfTheTunnel1992]

I'm probably the only one who feels thsi way, but does Timmy's bassline remind anyone of a horror movie. It reminds me of a dark alley and susepenseful scene. I fell weird bweird but tahts the truth

[darkdave25]

I know exactly what you mean!

[EndOfTheTunnel1992]

it's creepy, but awesome, that bassline is.

[darkdave25]

Hell yeah. This is the track that got me into Rage, and Timmy's bassline had a lot to do with it.

Plus I had a massive crush on the girl who lent me the single.....

[EndOfTheTunnel1992]

well, that certainly doesn't hurt to have a chick you like give it to you.

also, i heard ths song soon after i got into rage and i never really liked it. it wasnt until last week or so whne i got serius about this song>.

[cooliovasquez]

Yes it has the tritone in it.

[sirrobin1001]

u c that guy dancin?

[angelo1405]

hahahahahaha

[darkdave25]

That's not a dance - it's a seizure of some kind. Poor guy

[EndOfTheTunnel1992]

haha

[EndOfTheTunnel1992]

no. I was only watching rage to see their first performance when a crazy guy comes along and starts running round the whole set. what guy? lol :P

[sirrobin1001]

good solo

[sirrobin1001]

cool video

[pinolace99]

the best band ever ..

[jakethemusicman]

its funny to think how they're playing this and people are just walking past going "ah this is nothing special". look what they grew into.

[RageAgainstIraq]

Yeah there are. There WERE(17 years ago) picnicn tables and the bathroom over to taht side. behind the satge was the back entrance to the main buildings.

[rabiesman888]

lol the guy in the front dancing was probly like this band is fucking awsome then erveryone else was like no they suck then a year later they were like i gess you were right lol

[Mozillarama]

i love the single guy in the front thats dancin his life away.. i hope he was drunk lol, i love this song though

[morekiller]

lol its about 10-15 people listening to clear the lane, and if zack says to throw your hands in the air, noone will follow then when you compare it to r4tm2's video of clear the lane from march 8th 1992 in San Luis Obispo, CA and you see TONS of people

its just funny to see what a year of listening to ratm has had such an impact on people lol

[RageAgainstIraq]

I'm posting Killing in the name, take the power back (split), bullet in the head, and autologic, hit the deck. Im also getting to Bullet in the head from Zeds. Fuistful of Steel

[morekiller]

TIMMY C, BRING THAT BASS IN

[chambi1981]

hahaha i'd love to be that dude in the front row!

[RageAgainstIraq]

if you pause this video at 2:07 Im the guy right behind him

[carpna1]

i thought u were talking about the guy with the long hair & the hat on & then the dude jump in & starting dancing. loved it when Zach said"get down" & he dropped to the ground & popped back up. LMAO

[usfbulls51]

It's awesome how the crowd from killing in the name/take the power back was only about 3 people, and as the show went on it just grew.

[morekiller]

that guy in front knows a good band when he sees one

[RageAgainstIraq]

rob henneman

[SuspectOfMurder]

If I was one of the guys inftont of that little crowd, I would of kicked that guy in the orange fucking shirt.

[lukesimmons2004]

The guy is orange shirt's pill just kicked in....

[ratmndkorn4life]

the drumming sounds at bit,i dunno,different in this.well i guess it was their first concert,so FULL MARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

rage 4 ever!

[basketballfg]

its funny that guy spazzin out in the front is the first person to ever really rock out to rage lol

[2carlie12394]

i wish i coulda seen early rage stuff live like this.

[hexeagnes]

was this song ever recorded, coz it sounds fuckin great! has a great beat

[justinrulesass]

yeah it was. my cousin recently found a bunch of vintage rage demos. this sounds badass in the demo. just check on limewire

[treasurewm1234]

or buy the 'live and rare' album, its lots of rare live traks, then it has clear the lane and darkness, studios on it:)

[justinrulesass]

but live and rare is like 40 bucks.

[ZapatistaDiF]

On ebay you can get it for like $15 or $20. It's worth it. =D

[treasurewm1234]

i got it of amozon, like £20, its way expensive since all the others like £6 but its worth it

[justinrulesass]

yeah totally

[chocoy73]

here in the philippines you can buy it for only 200 pesos, it is equivalent of 3-4 dollars..

[renegade2551]

god i wish i was there.

was this takin from a fucking security camera

[RageAgainstIraq]

No, a couple buddies of mine, stood on top of a center platform that rose about 4 feet in the air, and there was about 4 people filming it. They needed something to post on the news the next day but they soon saw it's greatness and taped the whole show, thank fully.

[Purpa333]

if only these people knew who they were

[admydragon]

come on crowd! jump around!!

[Pleutinium]

although this is bad sound quality u can hear the groove of Ratm, so i dont understand why the crowd is so silent

[ZildjianDrumBumm]

cuz theyr a local band right there and its their first show and theyrnt too heard of yet

[BlackTexas09]

yah they sure are fuckin local during this time because they formed around the LA area.

[Ozarkaglass]

I have this show on bootleg and it's pretty frustrating to watch. Most of the crowd just wanders around and very few seem into it. The guy dancing actually does that several times, he seems to be trying to encourage others too. It's pretty sad there weren't more out there getting into it. Fantastic to have the early stuff on here. I have about 60 shows of Rage and as far as I have ever found this is the earliest on tape.

[jaap5893]

check out the dude at 1:23 that comes dancing out of nowhere

[timmmyj]

lol is zach wearing a beanie?
