This is my all time favourite music video. I remember MTV, when they still played videos, showing this all the time when it came out. Since I love the video so much I automatically think of it no matter where I hear this song being played.

This was made in the early 80’s the year after The Road Warrior(Mad Max 2) was released. That film spawned everything from cheesy Italian post-apocalyptic gang films to this video. I love everything about this video because it’s a well rounded romp through the post-apocalyptic wasteland.

The one thing that you may recognize in this video is the setting of it, The Vasquez Rocks Natural Park Area in northern Los Angeles County, California. The list of the productions that filmed here are way too many for me to type out, but I will mention the original Star Trek series because it’s nifty. The band arrive at this location in a hovercar, that was originally from the very short lived Logan’s Run TV series, and a motorcycle. They then enter a large black tent and proceed to mess around with guitars, slot machines, and records until deciding to leave the way they came.

Even if you dislike the song you can still watch it and have an entertainingly good time! They don’t make videos such as this any longer.
