The RAMONES - Live 1978 (The Old Grey Whistle Test) - Don't Come Close, She's The One, Go Mental

The Ramones perform "Don't Come Close", "She's The One" and "Go Mental" to promote the Road To Ruin LP on UK Television (The Old Grey Whistle Test). I couldn't find this higher quality version of the whole clip on RUclips, so I'm uploading it for archival purposes. I don't own the footage and all that...
00:00 Don’t Come Close
02:08 She’s The One
04:06 Go Mental

[@Livedthe70s]

Dee Dee plays an incredible bass on Don’t Come Close. Still to this day the coolest band in the world.

[@RiccoHavocco]

Ya he’s in the pocket like a mofo!

[@xStabizorz]

The little fills are great

[@andchat6241]

Certainly the last great (punk)Rock n Roll group .....but with a lanky short sighted singer , a replacement drummer -Marky ,who always looked in pain & a selection of bad haircuts they certainly were not 'Cool' ...
But ultimately it's down to the songs - & Ramones had plenty of good ones .

[@xStabizorz]

@@andchat6241 arguably the worst collection of haircuts ever

[@justso4509]

Love how clearly you can hear the bass lines on this recording.

[@gmantramp404]

This version of Don't Come Close beats the non punky disappointing album filler version hands down 🤘🤘

[@rcgsimons]

My first concert at 15 years old. The show was free, the sun was out, girls in polka dot skirts were hopping up and down, and the Ramones played their incendiary rock n roll punk. I was God smacked!

Ramones at their best

YAY ANOTHER VERSION OF DONT COME CLOSE!!! One of my favorite ramones songs

[@andregarcia2936]

I prefer Ramones with Tommy Ramone

[@Zopf-international]

Go Mental is a super polished musical machine operating at perfect speed.

Road to Ruin its my favorite album, and Mondo Bizarro y Ramones 1976

[@cigdamagelungs]

Best band USA has produced

[@matthewfbridges]

i agree. i have them 3rd on my list of favourite artists. only Bowie and The Smiths i would place above them.

Can't describe how Ramones makes me feel every time I watch a "new" video ❤
She's the one version sounds so powerful 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks 4 upload this jewel

[@sandrabosso4604]

Ramones...adrenaline

[@atsunorismith66]

Johnny’s guitar on She’s the One is fanatical!

[@hansjavis5854]

Goddamn. Johnny and Dee Dee play so simply, but there has been nothing like them and their playing has its own sound, it’s impossible to recreate.

[@terraCACHJ]

Tracklist:
0:04 Don't Come Close
2:09 She's The One
4:05 Go Mental

[@musicfan1086]

Look at Go Mental at Johnnys downstroking, so furious and fast I can feel the pain In my wrist watching it

[@thomasamos4055]

So much better than the recordings.

[@DeeckyRizzo]

Ha ha, Johnny made a mistake at 3:21. He's supposed to stay at G. I always make the same mistake in that song!

[@HardlyRamone]

Yup, lol. You don't often see Johnny grab the wrong chord, but it's really easy to do that in this song

[@lamiabanca]

@@HardlyRamone really

[@michaelengen7392]

I wonder if Dee Dee slapped him up for it the way Johnny would have done to him. Love this band.

[@Nachodebt]

El error le da su toque también, quedó más punk.

She's the one on the studio album was just fast onough for my skills. This version was insane

[@iqbalajaj1950]

it will always be good to play all the time

[@savedstrings]

Superb footage
Thanks

[@pcramon]

Missed this on the first showing of OGWT 1978 as I was returning from the actual show at Newcastle City Hall, then missed the Saturday repeat. So frustrating when folk were asking me if I caught the Ramones on UK TV back then.
Wasn’t until about 15 years later I had it on a horrendous quality VHS bootleg tape. Praise the Lord for RUclips.

[@musicfan1086]

Love this performance, if 3 of these songs were on it’s alive this is the speed they likely would be at. This is also I feel
The perfect live speed for go mental

[@LordOfTheThreeWorlds]

It's just insane how tight these guys were.

[@philmalley7888]

I saw Ramones live in 1987, how great well its- hard to say but very special.

[@andrewlemke2669]

Watching this again and again... I've gone mental

[@LarryBishop69]

This show was predominately prog rock and beardies 🤮🤮every now and then they had to put punks on it . Bob Harris the presenter always resented bands he didn’t like on there (funny) I watched this back in the day when we lived in Surbiton south London. First time I’d seen The Ramones.

[@DavidStaniforth]

I put my tape recorder by the telly and taped this when it came on back then in 1978 . I had the cassette for years. Saw the Ramones that year at the free trade Hall in Manchester and was probably best gig I ever saw .

[@davidnino4623]

Ahí los ramones se zarpaban pero Johnny Ramone le da el sonido del Rock and Roll para todas las generaciones.

[@Rexerman89]

"3 songs in just 6 minutes? WOW! That Brit lady was like waahh? LOL!"

[@MK69303]

That recording actually sounds exactly as many described their sound.
Listen carefully.
