This was The Long Ryders' first music video, shot somewhere in Los Angeles in March of 1985, just before their first UK and Continent tour. The majority of screen time involves an unfortunate plot that could be described as "a bored 80s yuppie Bobby Kennedy chasing a yuppie Stevie Nicks around dreamland." Ignore the questionable content, just listen to those guitars!

  • "long time no blow dry...what can i say" best ever

  • Remind me of the Byrds.

  • One of the greatest bands that ever lived.

  • I saw these guys when they opened for the Alarm back in 86.They blew everyone away with their set. This song sticks out in my mind because this one had everyone, including the nay sayers, on their feet. They drew out the guitar jam at the end like it was their last moment here on earth and they were going out with a bang. God bless the Long Ryders.

  • Mixing a retro country sound with the alternative rock sound of the eighties. Not bad. I like the extended jam at the end too.

  • I incorrectly guessed the time frame of this band, since this is my first encounter. Thought they were from the 70's. Wish I knew about them in the eighties,

  • It's not the Byrds or Tom Petty, Sid Viscious, Not REM. Eagles may have been influenced by these guys. Oh yea The Long Ryders. Kick ass. Good post. I think the guitar player wound up playing with The Jayhawks.

  • I first about the Long Ryders from reading celebrated crime novelist George Pelecanos' classic "A Firing Offense"...Pelecanos described the Ryders as "The Eagles with balls"...haha, I can definitely second that notion!

  • Awesome guitar sound at 2:38.

  • absolutely fantastic song. Everything works.
