  • Filmed in London the Summer of 1985 to accompany The Long Ryders' first UK hit single. The Long Ryders play before an assembled crowd at the Mean Fiddler, get the law called on them in Harlesden (not shown), and have tons o' fun in the process. Stiff's Dave "Robbo" Robinson intersperses all of this with archival footage of uniquely American historical imagery. Meant to be played loud!
    Their signature song originally appeared on 1985's State Of Our Union, and it's track #1 on Disc 2 on Final Wild Songs.
    Final Wild Songs - THE definitive Long Ryders’ collection - is a career-spanning four-CD box set released January 22nd, 2016 on Cherry Red Records.
    Over two years in the making Final Wild Songs features the original albums as well as demos, singles, and rare live recordings from The Long Ryders. Re-mastered by Andy Pearce, the 76 track box set contains song-by-song comments by five Long Ryders, many rare photos and memorabilia, a fold-out poster, and an introduction by longtime friend and supporter David Fricke of Rolling Stone. Full track listing, 2016 tour dates, and more information may be found here www.thelongryders.com/Final-Wi...

    Absolutely fantastic song & a personal soundtrack of my college years. Syd Griffin is a treasure to the Americana music scene. This song is like CCR & The Clash being mixed together.

    It's been 35 years since I last listened to this song which I had recorded on a VHS tape. I came here after watching an interview with Joe Strummer and Sid Griffin. Great song from my teenage years!

    Saw them back in the eighties. This was their encore and I'm fairly sure that is the loudest I have ever heard a crowd cheer and scream. These guys were awesome live.

    Seeing Sid & Peter Case in London in June. Cant wait. Stephen's solo at the end sounds different fro the album version. Feel like seeing the band again in June now at Chelsea

    The Long Ryders I can say without exaggeration are one of the 5 best bands of all time. I put them in there with the Beatles, U2, Steely Dan, and Radiohead. Their songwriting and their sound were tops.
