It wouldn't be so special if that vibe and attitude was with us all the time. Like the 50's 60's that made the best of the 80's possible greatness is always fleeting. But damn you are so right, maybe the best time yet to have come of age.
I grew up in the 80's and I absolutely fell in love with Lita....DAMN! I'm now 58 years old and I work at a high school. Even today, kids of this generation still listen to 80's rock. That says a lot.
God we had so many hotties in my time. Lita Ford, Pat Benetar, Heart, Joan Jett. No autotune. Just pure skill. Vocals & guitar? Try to find that combination today!
I remember watching this video when I was 18. And thought Lita Ford was totally hot. Here it is 43 years later and you know what? Lita Ford is still totally hot!
i had a pic of Lita in her 40's a lad i work with in his 20's said who is that (eyes out on stalks) . I said to old for you that's are lovely Lita Ford. You have listened to her most of this week.
The showmanship, the clothes, the hair, the lights, the production, just about everybody was in great shape. Even the cinematography was better back then.
Reminds me of my high school years,,great times , and awesome music !!!, Lita ,Guns & Roses ,Poison, Ozzy ,Kiss,Bon Jovi,Great White,Whitesnake, Cinderella,,,who else agrees man ?????,,,ohhh btw ,,Motley Crue, Aerosmith,White Lion,ACDC, Winger,,,Skid Row,Scorpions,,,,list goes on and on 🎼🎸🎶
Look at the clothes, the stage, the background and the moves. This is all in the video for Kiss Me Deadly. This is almost the whole stage performance. Very cool just thought I'd share that. Miss the 80s and the wonder of rock n roll during this time in my life. Lita rocked and so did Joan Jett!
She is having so much fun. I saw her just two weeks ago, none of us are that age now but she still put on a good show. Seeing the energy in this video is so sweet.
I was actually at this concert, it was my first gig at 15 years old Lita was supporting Bon Jovi and she was amazing. Had a big poster of her on my bedroom wall. Awesome!
she is like 31 here, and actually looking even better than she did in her teens in the Runaways. but dont forget she can play. my girlfriend back in 89 had a couple of pretty cool little posters of Lita hanging up in her bedroom, i was more of a Nuclear Assault guy myself.
Lita wasn't even 18 when she started playing in the "Runaways " she got sexier into her late 20 's and continued to get even sexier decades later I heard in the Runaways days , Joan Jett got all the girls and Lita Ford got all the boys. LoL
The first time for me to see Lita in concert, was when she opened for Motley Crue 1990!! I loved every bit of it!! Great concert from both Lita and Crue!!
@@marriah ..... Yup!!! The Dr. Feelgood tour was a very long tour. When my boyfriend now hubby, asked me if I wanted to go see Crue. I was like YEAH!!!! ....lol.... I told him. 'Heck yeah!! Lita is opening up for them!!' I had met her back in 1988, she was at 'Sound Warehouse' promoting her album 'Lita' (her mom was with her). Lita was very nice. And then here recently in 2016 she was in my little city. She played at a place called Lava Cantina. She truly put on a great show!
Love you dear lady, I was so stoked that you were coming to Cleveland, Ohio but these crazy times canceled that. Please come to Cleveland as soon as things are normal again. I have always wanted to see you live and your book was fantastic. I think they should make a movie about your career. Love ya Lita.
I worked with her many times on a show I worked on called That Metal Show. I was crew. She was absolutely amazing. One of my fav guests we booked to work with.
I remember being head over boots for her as a teen....fantastic to see her as an adult and know she still rocks as hard and lovely as always.....you go girl!!!!😆
1988 my senior year in high school and my girlfriend Rachael driving through the country with music blaring, windows open, and not worried about the next morning because now was all that mattered. She was a Lita clone but with red hair. I think of her after all these years every time I see this video. She broke my heart, then moved across the country to Florida and we never spoke again. My first real love and there’s no social media connection, no texts, nothing, but those memories will never fade.
Trust me, it's better this way. I revisited my old crush, the one that got away. I don't know which one of us had changed, maybe it was both of us, but the years had not been kind to her and it destroyed all those wonderful old memories. Sometimes it's best to leave the past in the past.
I won't miss it because there's CZcams, Spotify, TV, and whatever else is there to rewind 80s. I'll always listen to the music from this decade even though it's before my time.
@@Tessmage_Tessera Let me think really deeply with all of my brain capacity... Uuuummm, NO! But music tracks and videos from 80s aren't erased from the history, meaning there's still a way to enjoy that decade, whether it's 100% or 60% joy and immersion level.
Haha truth ! But she really have skills playing guitars in real life, in fact she was the lead - rhythm and lead vocals to THE RUNAWAYS ( Joan Jett ) back in 70s
The best song of my college years. Lita is the BEST, man I still love her. Those were really GREAT times and I'm so glad that I met the girl of my dreams then and we've been married for 30 years now. So incredible, it feels like yesterday when I hear this song.
Back in the days of the 80's Lita Ford was and still is the Queen of Hair Bands! She had and still has Looks, Talent and Carismia. Her Voice is and was of that of an Angle as far as Lita's ability to write and compose music, let alone preform it flawlessly made Lita's Band Number 1. I will always remember Her and Respect The Efforts that brought Me many good memories from when Metal Ruled! Thank You Lita Ford!
Lita me for it does not pay, no pay, just I want to show you that we used to listen to, and it was excellent, Lita Ford is a classic. when I was growing up, the litas was everything to me. Now it is litas Classic, please respect my classics. I live in Russia and still for me Lita Ford is a classic and the best singer of the world. very beautiful girl and very talented

@@davidpearson3304 Rite, youve got Joan Jett, Pat Benetar, Stevie Nix, Linda Ronstadt, the wilson sisters (Heart) just to name a few. But Lita is definitely good.
I would LUV to see a reunion of the surviving Runaways members: Lita, Joan Jett, Cherrie Currie! (Lita & Cherrie are on friendly terms now! Lita even made a guest apearence on Cherrie's latest solo LP.)
I saw her twice on this tour, once opening for Yngwie with Black N' Blue also on the bill at Irvine Meadows then for Ozzy at Long Beach Arena, also a triple bill with Anthrax as the middle act. Great live performer.
I didn't know that she wrote a book!! I can't wait to read it!! She's absolutely amazing, and I would love to read her story!! Thank you for posting this!!!
Just FYI, this was filmed when she opened for Bon Jovi on their New Jersey Brotherhood Tour. That’s their stage. Same time that Jovi filmed the crowd segment of the I’ll be there for you video. How do I know??? I was at both...
Yes. When Bon Jovi played the states it was Skid Row who opened in 1989, at least for a good chunk of the tour. Lita also toured that summer. I saw here with (I think) Yngwie Malmsteen (or Dio. I can't remember which). That Bon Jovi tour was massive. So many dates spanning a few years. Them and Iron Maiden were the tour kings over those late 80's, early 90's years. You don't see that anymore. Kiss was in the middle of a 3 or more year "final" tour but I think the Corona virus might have sunk that for good.
80s the absolute best of times. I miss it so bad.
Ph, of we could go back for one year, how cool would that be!!😊
It wouldn't be so special if that vibe and attitude was with us all the time. Like the 50's 60's that made the best of the 80's possible greatness is always fleeting.
But damn you are so right, maybe the best time yet to have come of age.
Lita is the greatest ever. No qualifications, just the best. Man, people in the 80s didn't know how good they had it.
Sure we did, just can't figure out how to get back there.
yeah we did.......
I grew up in the 80's and I absolutely fell in love with Lita....DAMN! I'm now 58 years old and I work at a high school. Even today, kids of this generation still listen to 80's rock. That says a lot.

Lee Aaron!!
Don't forget Susanna Hoffs!
For me it was Janet Gardner and Share Pederson
Vixen and Phantom Blue as well
@@alanwoodwind5265 Keep your hands off my Susanna!!!
I seen Lita about 2 years ago . She still sounds great and even at 60 something still looks good too.
No tattoos for me

in 1989 she was on top of the world. this night she had the main stage and absolutely nailed it. Career defining performance
. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tiffany!
rock n roll wasn't the only thing she could keep hard
@@papawoffour2562 She always guaranteed to provide an unforgettable experience
Supporting Bon Jovi, I went to see them at SECC and Lita Ford did that show too. Front row for me, Will never forget, Great night!
Actually we did know ...80's rock was the best ever!
The showmanship, the clothes, the hair, the lights, the production, just about everybody was in great shape. Even the cinematography was better back then.
Lita Ford had me back then and she still has me now SO BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤❤
Samantha Fox & Pamela Anderson
I want the 80s back!!!! 😭
Is that Kelly Bundy

Yep hair bands were the best.
I hated all of it. Then Alice in Chains happened.
ja k Iron Maiden too
@@angiegordin1018 IRON MAIDEN ,,OZZY
ja k right on!
I took my hubby to see her last summer ('23) cause I knew he loved her "back when"...She is still amazing, beautiful, just, well, yeah
Hahaha. Your husband is lucky to have you!
I was only 2 yrs old in '89. Had i been older, I definitely wouldve had a poster of her on my wall.
You don’t have the guts
That chemistry that she had with the keyboardist was too cute. RIP David Ezrin.
The hair on the guy with the synthesizer is...MAGNIFICENT!
Every band members is magnificent..but Lita excpecially...energy and passion in music...metal from 80s is uniqe...forever good music..
Lita was hot, smart, & had the stamina. STILL KIX AZZ 2024
Miss the 80’s....Guitars, girls, synthesizers...man she rocked!
Guitar Tube . Don’t much miss eighties hair bands. Too formula for me. Pass.
Don't forget...
She was part of The Runaways with Joan Jett...
MrReed314 sure was 😎
Absolutely! I’m in love with LitaFordVEVO!

I’ve loved 🥰 Lita since she was one of the Runaways 😎❤️
She was incredible and look at that energetic crowd actually enjoying themselves
Exactly. You don't see crowds like that anymore.
She and her band deserve to be in the music heaven.
She commands the stage like a pro. Very watchable. A lot of vocalists could learn from this.
When i close my eyes forever. I will still see the 80s.
Wow man what a quote!!!!!! I can’t wait
Weird to read that right after Tawny Kitean died.
Forever 🤟
Saw her recently, she’s still Smokin’ Hawt!
she is like 31 here, and actually looking even better than she did in her teens in the Runaways. but dont forget she can play. my girlfriend back in 89 had a couple of pretty cool little posters of Lita hanging up in her bedroom, i was more of a Nuclear Assault guy myself.
She lost her baby fat and changed her style.
@George Lynch Dixon and million times yes. Most of ppl in 30s look like they're still in 20s.
Lita wasn't even 18 when she started playing in the "Runaways " she got sexier into her late 20 's and continued to get even sexier decades later I heard in the Runaways days , Joan Jett got all the girls and Lita Ford got all the boys. LoL
@@johnlsullivan6938 well I'm a straight woman and i have an admiration for Lita Ford. Ofc i love Joan too but i like Lita a bit more. She's sexy.
most beautiful women do get prettier with age ,strange isn't it ?
Huge fan here! One of the baddest women rockers ever! Epic!!!

Lita ROCKS!!! Never fails to put a smile on my face😁👍🎸🇺🇸😘❤️
She can really sing especially on live.
I agree. I actually think this one is better than the video and album versions.
One of the best live performance I've ever watched ! 🤘🤘
she is just an incredible entertainer singer and guitarist
I worked with her many times on a show I worked on called That Metal Show. I was crew. She was absolutely amazing. One of my fav guests we booked to work with.
This so reminds me when I fell in love back 1989 only 17 , Together 21 years.. sadly now not together.. but good memories.....
I was 17 also,,,saw my first rock concert that year.... Cinderella,Winger,Bullet Boys,,, awesome !!!!
I remember being head over boots for her as a teen....fantastic to see her as an adult and know she still rocks as hard and lovely as always.....you go girl!!!!😆
This was 30 years, ago. She's 60, or so, now. The years....

When lists come out about the best guitar players, she is never ranked highly enough. Very underrated!
She's really singing without auto tune.
My graduation year!! 1988!! Guys?! This type of hair Metal was the thing back then, still diggin’ it!! Would like to relive all again!! Lol 😝!!!!
GOD BLESS LITA.SHES ONE OF MY FAVOURITE GUITARISTS EVER.🤘🤘🤘🤘
Give me your thoughts on Poison Ivy as a player,
I remember seeing her in Oklahoma years ago, she's got so much energy on stage she's such a joy to watch
Linda Lita Ford
If you missed the 80’s you missed it all, I could watch her dance for hours!
Best decade for metal... and the absolutely hottest looking women in history came from the 80's.
Magic girls born 1958? Lita and Joan
I won't miss it because there's CZcams, Spotify, TV, and whatever else is there to rewind 80s. I'll always listen to the music from this decade even though it's before my time.

What skills! That guitar came from out of nowhere!
Likely not her only skill!

She help me go through puberty lol
Uhh yeah we knew how to do it in the 80s.
Pure eye candy the way she dances here
She can some moves in my bedroom anytime 😁
I must have watched this a least 317x..
Lita could rock
Wonderful! The eighties were a blast!
love this song! this was my older sister's time but i went through all her records as kid
Just FYI, this was filmed when she opened for Bon Jovi on their New Jersey Brotherhood Tour. That’s their stage. Same time that Jovi filmed the crowd segment of the I’ll be there for you video. How do I know??? I was at both...
Niall Richardson and my band were in the same rehearsal studio in Dublin the night before that tour and we got to meet them! Life was cool then

I never paid much attention to her looks back in the 80's. Too busy listening to the music I guess. But she's so pretty.
Man she was hot! And boy, she can shred like no other rock chick I've ever seen!
