04 Diego Arias Marky was the original drummer. Tommy RIP was the last of the four to pass away. He was actually a talented producer and produced the vast majority of The Ramones’ output. After the first few albums, he dedicated more and more of his time spent in production, leaving the drumming duties for Marky who is still alive.
Joey walked into the shoe shop where I worked when they played in Stockholm. Unfortunately we did not have his size. He wore odd socks. He gave me his autograph which I still have, it’s in a frame in the kitchen.
It's too bad RUclips won't let you post a photo of his autograph. I'd really like to see that. (And thanks for sharing this cool anecdote, @sven svenson! ...odd socks, lol. :-)

Joey just stood in a lurch and these pros played for over a hour. They took a break then went on for at least 2 more hours. Soon Dee dee becomes the worst rapper. He made it up by playing his Ramones songs with his wife. I would of been bummed if he died before he went back to Punk Rock! Dee Dee King? Crack kills creativity. And eventualy it's host.

The list of UK bands is long. The list of American bands is, Blondie, Ramones, Guns and Roses, Nirvana, Red Hot Chillipeppers. They create good solo artists but not bands for some reason.
Long Live? The Four Original Members Are Long Dead. First Is Joey, 2001 (Lymphoma) Dee Dee 2002 (Heroin Overdose) Johnny 2004 (Prostate Cancer) Tommy 2014 (Bile Duct Cancer) Atleast The Four Original Members Of The Sex Pistols Proves That "PUNK IS NOT DEAD!"
The fact that Dee-Dee's count-offs have nothing at all to do with the actual tempo, but somehow they come in totally in sync with each other is confusing and awesome 🤔👍🏻
@@greg3672Played in bands for years, including attempted covers of some of these (they are NOT easy to get to anywhere with). Saw them twice (CJ not Dee Dee). Pretty sure they’re following Dee Dee’s count off (always the same “tempo”) up to the first note but *they all know the tempo of the song* from endless practice/gigs without much tempo variation. Johnny could have pulled that off. Was famously militaristic, and he, Dee Dee and Tommy were gifted (whether people who don’t play understand that or not). That’s my theory and I’m stickin’ to it.
@@jhonnycagexrage7458 Calling punk "leftist" political movement is bullshit. Punk was a response to "corporate rock", just as grunge was the response to "corporate metal".
I do not like punk rock, but i love Ramones. I love them so much. Punk is a lot of shit. Ramones is Rock and Roll. Only Rock and Roll! They are a masterpice for Rock music. About leftists, they are hipocrits. Here in Brazil, things are Very bad because left wings politicians. High rate of murders, rapes, too many poor along all the country starved. Socialism has been destroying my country with its lies, Venezuela lives in a pandemonium much worst. I do not like Any politicians, they are all liers, but all government leftists bringed misery for my people. Bolsonaro is half idiot and stupid, but he is a necessary evil among so many politicians with the same failure idea - Socialism. I living here and i can say what i live every days 60k people murdered per year. Too many women being raped per day. Too many people starving. Crimes with no solution because all corruption broken the country. Socialism has been destroying South America. I love my country, but all politicians destroyed it. But here is still a natural paradise, with beautiful and strong people and nature, best thing of ours. 🇧🇷
Don’t you hear and see that is massively edited and overdubbed ? So it was a very crappy live recording concerts. That’s why they added all this shit over.
@@vintagepipesnightmares and a weird guitar overdub - it sounds cool but it doesn't sound like Johnny - and I've seen them around 1977-1980 a few times, it's pleasant on the ears but not the real deal
Silviu Stefan just because it was overdubbed and edited doesn’t mean it’s shit. Overdubbing and editing is a common practice among the biggest rock bands, even the Beatles did it.
Ake Hilding at this point in their time true. but in the 80's they tried to get a mainstream hit and made changes to attempt to get favor with radio people. Epic fail never fully got back to early way that they came to be known for
Didn't change songs. They made changes in song styles. Just listen to songs from early albums then songs from albums of the 80's. Varied from mainstream style to soft rock, and heavy metal/hard rock. I think som of their 80's heavy metal attempts did influence some other bands.
i'm currently suffering from what no doctor can tell me, i suspect nerve damage and costochondritis, as a result of drug side effects and i can tell you that there has never been a time that the RAMONES haven't been medicine to me
Missed their first show in 76 at the roundhouse, so was desperate to see this one. About 20 of us walked back south of the river buzzing til the middle of March. What a fucking sweaty fantastic night it was.
his enthusiasm is not matched by the band's desire to play in a fast but sensible tempo his intros are the best though. one of the most thrilling things in music is: Joey starts mumbling an intro, DeeDee yells over him one two three, and four is drowned out by the crushing freight train of sound
I'm 60, and I saw them live. Twice. Once at Mississippi Nights and once in Japan. I had a beer with them in the Holiday Inn. The Ramones were the coolest Rock%Roll band ever. Punk rock was fn cool. I love these old recordings.
There is so much impossible stuff going on here - The speed at which Dee Dee’s and Johnny’s hands move, Tommy’s eighths on the hat, Joey’s rock-like stability at the center of the storm, the nearly identical tempos, the craziness and naked sincerity of the lyrics, Dee Dee’s insane jumps, the tiny dismissive gaps between songs, the “banter” (“After eating chicken vindaloo, I wanna be well.”), Dee Dee’s count offs . . . And remember how insanely LOUD this all was. Devastated everything in their path.
I am Russian and was born in 1988 in the USSR, I love punk rock and Ramones is its icon. We will all die, not about descendants, earthlings, will continue to listen to "*It's alive*" , because it's legendary. Havana Affair is my favorite song all the time. I'm glad that I managed to partly touch the legend during Marky Ramone's DJ set and get his autograph in Russia in 2013. Ramones - one and only. Album "rocket to Russia" - my answer - from Russia with love!
I met the Ramones backstage at Antonino’s Pizzaria in November 1977. I remember them saying they were going to be the next Beatles, chatted with Dee Dee about his love for comic books, shared something they called “ Hemotonic “ in a squeeze bottle, and had all of their autographs on a bar napkin which I subsequently lost.
If not, for the existence of Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment, I would be prepared to agree with you, but that might be the most incredible musical artifact in the history of mankind.

Lou Reed's reaction to first hearing The Ramones: "It makes everybody else look so bullshit and wimpy, man, Patti Smith and myself included". This coming from one of the most arrogant rock stars to ever live really says something! A world without The Ramones almost doesn't bear thinking about!
@@ronshekelson Nay, I did not, but I've always been partial to a 'The' in there with any band, including bands that don't have one like Pixies. See, didn't that sound wrong as you read it? I say 'The Pixies'. I don't care if I'm wrong.
@@ronshekelson I think people get confused because, as you can see, their poster behind them just says 'Ramones' as do their t-shirts, but when you hear the band members interviewed they refer to their band as 'The Ramones'.
@@PokeySoggybottom that's my point.. it usually says THE Ramones.

I'd put F.E.A.R live on snl , bad brains , Metallica 1983 and Metallicas performance in Russia above this . Damn then there's still Queen performing at Wembley
I think everyone who was at that gig, including me, were privileged to see that band. They were on fire, and never let up for a second. For us young punks it was such a joy to be amongst so many like minded people. Great memories, and they are just actual memories, no iPhones in those days! Long live the Ramones!
i saw The Ramones show 3 times in Argentina: 1994 with Motorhead, 1995, and 1996 with Die Toten Hosen and Iggy Pop... unforgettable! i have no word to describe it. i can die in peace! i miss them so much.
holy shit i wish i could have been there... even if i was only 11 years old.. i can't imagine what it would have done... i mean i saw The Wall movie at 15 and it shaped me... this would have been AWESOME!
Legendary Ramones concert. They were a music machine gun barely pausing between songs they hit you with round after round in rapid succession. The speed of their set list was only possible through sheer will power. Joey’s ripping vocals, Johnny’s warp speed down stroke on lead guitar, Dee Dee’s blistering bass playing along with Tommy rhythmically beating the drum kit like it owed him money. We will never see anything like the Ramones again. I’m glad videos of them exist so the world will remember what real rock looked like.
My friend Jack saw them do this show in Boston he said your hair was blowing back no one had seen anything like the Ramones….This performance rages it makes my day always and every time I hear it.
@@macematthewcolodny8452 wow new York really seemed to influence Boston music I heard a lot of Boston area musicians got into bands after seeing velvet underground and then Boston had a punk scene maybe after Ramones came to town
The Ramones. SUCH a cool unique style/sound. They DID truly create their OWN universe. The look, the sound, everything all their own. The biggest thing I love about them is that while yes, theyre rockin,' they are POSITIVE and its uplifting music. Not evil or dark or demonic nonsense. Its about getting up and getting into action, like it should be. Love these people and their style. Inspired me hugely in my teens, and even to this day. Rare rock band, we need MORE!
No set lists anywhere either. They had the whole damned thing memorized. I'm having to look at my setlist 3 times each song to not forget what song is coming next, lol.
Fortunate and privileged enough to have been at both gigs at the Rainbow mainly to support Generation X . Still have a backstage pass in my memorabilia... Iconic gigs with many punk faces present who were mingling in the crowd. Sid and Nancy, Joe Strummer, John lydon,Degenerate etc.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
@@palfostervold4271 i don't know that iggy would i think iggy would take the credit for inspiring johnny thunders/richard hell and ramones but he knows they officially started punk and also rolling stones inspired them too believe it or not
@@Everythingsleeps They are authentic, they are believeable, other stuff than the Sex Pistols. 40 Years I was on my way in darkness, but found the light...
I saw the Ramones more times than I can count. Every time, before they came onstage, we would all chant "Hey ho, lets go!" I will always love their music!
@@ronshekelson no people couldn't afford flyers with too many extra letters and print. But ever one said yeah the Ramones are playing again next week Etc
The things I like about the Ramones are the great melodies, short fun songs with the distorted guitars and the cool image with the hair and leather jackets. They literally redefined rock music which up until then was usually blues-based. The Ramones did not follow conventions. There is something infectious about them. I can't stop watching their videos. Rest in peace guys. You are forever missed!
Some of it may be blues based but most of it sounds like bubble-gum pop to me with distortion. Whatever it is, it sounds great and makes you want to jump up and down and have fun!
Now you're ready to hear the Ramones anti-thesis...Type O Negative. Start with their cover of Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid'. Then, search 'Christian Woman' and 'Black No.1'. ... and if you're REALLY feeling adventurous and un-PC, listen to 'Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity'. No better band (apologies to the Ramones) ever existed than TON!!!!
@@arthurbishop3173 Yes I just heard all those songs you mentioned. Type O Negative definitely have their own sound. It is dark and menacing and far removed from the Ramones. I like them too but for different reasons. Thanks for the suggestion!
ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK BANDS OF ALL TIME AND ONE OF THE GREATEST LIVE ALBUMS! EVERY NEW YEARS I WATCH THIS MORE THAN ONCE! AND THEN ALL THRU THE YEAR! I bought the first album in 76 and was a fan til the end and even now. The fake punk rockers who just ripped them off are bums! I saw them 100's of times and they were great every time. LONG LIVE THE RAMONES!
Thanks for sharing Elvin. Shall listen to your music. Are you from New Orleans. Yes Ramones are legend. Raw music at its very best. I’m 66 now and I think the 60 & 70s was a great era. Happy belated nu year from NZ.
I don't believe in religion, I love rock and punk music, but ramones are my religion, when I ear them I feel music In my blood. When I am sad I always listen to the gods RAMONES
As a guitarist I've always marveled at Johnny and Deedee's right hand technique. It's human nature when the bpms get that fast to start alternate picking. They'd have none of that, too jangly and wimpy. Everything is on the downstroke. Their hands become blurred and if you watch the wide shots with both of them, they synchronized their picking patterns perfectly. Even just from the perspective of a physical workout it's remarkable and they often did it for 2 hours and then did it again the next night. I can't imagine how their elbows and wrists survived the abuse. This was one of my most played albums as a kid, and I learned every song in order. I could play every note, but I could never play it like johnny did.
I've heard that playing with the instrument slung super low, to have the arm stretched out, helps a lot with the fast downpicking. To be honest, just stretching my arm and doing the downpick motion, it seems way easier than if I bend my arm
it does help with the fast downpicking, but there becomes a point where it's so low it's pretty much just showmanship and style. it makes it a lot harder to play anything technical. with that being said most punk-type music is just spamming a bunch of power chords anyway @@HipsterNgariman
@@MrJohnnyDistortion technical guitarists definitely do wear their guitars at a more regular position typically. it's more of a stylistic choice/showmanship choice and has kind of become a staple around rock music. look at jimmy page and slash for example, they wear their guitars super low
The band I truly miss and have seen live the most. I won 4 tickets on the radio one night working a grave shift. The DJ wanted the 10th caller. It was 3:00 a.m. and no one ever called in that late. I used to talk to this DJ frequently about music when we were slow at work. He turned me on to some genres I was unaware of and would play tracks so I didn’t have to buy if I didn’t like it. Back then 12’’ records were $5, doubles were $10 and sometimes you got a poster. He did his job requirement and made me call back until I was 10th and then, in a monotone voice, he said “yaaay, you just won 2 tickets to see the Ramones”. We laughed, I said thanks and I picked the tickets up at Tower Records down the street the next day. This was also before everyone had cell phones and gps. I looked up the venue in the yellow pages and got verbal directions from the bartender. It was a small blue collar joint out of the city about 45 minutes away in the middle of bumfu. . uh, nowhere. Maximum occupancy 50. I remember seeing that sign because I thought to myself, “Damn, we’re gonna be packed like sardines in a can”! By the looks of it though, they probably never had 50 people in there on a good night. I took my older roommate and his girlfriend. He said “Who? Oh the ramones, I remember them, they suck”. But he had a car. I convinced him to drive by giving them tickets and said I’d buy their drinks for the night. He was at least open minded hah. Rolling his eyes, he begrudgingly said “yea, but you’re paying for gas and if they suck we’re leaving”. I agreed and resigned myself to hitchhiking back if they left. Unbelievably, nobody else would take the 4th ticket because it was on a Wednesday or Thursday. There couldn’t have been more than 10-15 people in there at a time. Zippy was running around the bar in full dress with a Gabba Gabba Hey sign. The stage barely fit their gear but they played Exactly like this to an almost empty room. Full Bore giving it all they had. It was like we watched some Twilight Zone practice session. The bar had a free steak and potato’s buffet and we had a table about 3’ away from center stage. My roommates brain must have exploded at some point that night. By the time we left he was hoarse from screaming ‘’Hey Ho Let’s Go!!’’ He wouldn’t give my leather jacket back until the next day and bought himself one a week or so later. I think he might have even slept in mine that night. She had to drive us home and was unimpressed I’m sure (Bon Jovi/Nordstrom chick). The next day he admitted he was wrong, took back all the trash talking and my records went on heavy rotation Hahaa!! I saw them again shortly after that show with Blondie at the Moore in Seattle and even though they kicked ass, nothing could compare to the night I sawed up a couple steaks, ate potato’s, had shots, beers and turned my die hard rhythm and blues roommate into a Ramones fan. R.I.P. to the Greatest 3 chord Rock and Roll band that ever existed. ✌️
It’s really understated just how revolutionary it was for the times. It was all disco and arena rock. I can appreciate lots of music, but these are Ramones.
So many cool bands from that area.....New York Dolls, the Stooges, The Clash, The Damned, the Sex Pistols, Wipers, the Pagans, Dead Boys, Pure Hell etc.
I saw them in a club a couple years after that and the loudness stands out as much as anything else in my memory haha. I was right in front of Johnny's Marshalls and next to a wall of PA speakers.
iloved them, i am 77 yrs old now
I am 62 and i saw a Concert of Marky Ramone 2023 in Nürnberg, Germany. It was great, loud and fast.
i am only 69 soixante neuf years
I'm 65, and I've seen them a few times. The first time was in 1977. Cheers.

I swear they must have had an exhaust leak in their van or something. What are the odds all of them would be gone so young?
This is perfection. This is America's Rock Band. Australia gave us AC/DC. The UK gave us Led Zeppelin. The United States gave us THE RAMONES.
Correction. UK gave us The Smiths.
@@CatherineNeal 🤣👌🤡
and ANTI NOWHERE LEAGUE ! @@CatherineNeal
The list of UK bands is long. The list of American bands is, Blondie, Ramones, Guns and Roses, Nirvana, Red Hot Chillipeppers. They create good solo artists but not bands for some reason.
What? The UKs rock band is definitely The Beatles. I’d say Americans like zeppelin more than British people do
Take it Dee Dee.. 1, 2, 3, 4!!!!
Love Dee Dee!
soulCracka1 You ever notice how many times he counted them in with the risky wrong tempo? Drummer has to ignore that nearly Everytime

Yeah, man, Tommy rocks!

Long Live? The Four Original Members Are Long Dead.
First Is Joey, 2001 (Lymphoma)
Dee Dee 2002 (Heroin Overdose)
Johnny 2004 (Prostate Cancer)
Tommy 2014 (Bile Duct Cancer)
Atleast The Four Original Members Of The Sex Pistols Proves That "PUNK IS NOT DEAD!"
The fact that Dee-Dee's count-offs have nothing at all to do with the actual tempo, but somehow they come in totally in sync with each other is confusing and awesome 🤔👍🏻
easily the most mysterious aspect of the ramones for me. i've tried seeing if there's a hidden pattern to it, but so far i've got nothing.
@user-jv6nz5jo9z That's how Dee Dee always did it.
The funniest thing about his count ins on the records is that he would overdub them later. 🤣
@@greg3672Played in bands for years, including attempted covers of some of these (they are NOT easy to get to anywhere with). Saw them twice (CJ not Dee Dee). Pretty sure they’re following Dee Dee’s count off (always the same “tempo”) up to the first note but *they all know the tempo of the song* from endless practice/gigs without much tempo variation. Johnny could have pulled that off. Was famously militaristic, and he, Dee Dee and Tommy were gifted (whether people who don’t play understand that or not). That’s my theory and I’m stickin’ to it.
@@greggorsag9787 not a bad hypothesis
When people discuss the best of what America has offered to the world, this deserves a place near the top.
My third fav American band of all time. Topped only by the Beach Boys and the Byrds.

@@jhonnycagexrage7458 Calling punk "leftist" political movement is bullshit. Punk was a response to "corporate rock", just as grunge was the response to "corporate metal".
I do not like punk rock, but i love Ramones. I love them so much. Punk is a lot of shit. Ramones is Rock and Roll. Only Rock and Roll! They are a masterpice for Rock music.
About leftists, they are hipocrits. Here in Brazil, things are Very bad because left wings politicians. High rate of murders, rapes, too many poor along all the country starved. Socialism has been destroying my country with its lies, Venezuela lives in a pandemonium much worst. I do not like Any politicians, they are all liers, but all government leftists bringed misery for my people. Bolsonaro is half idiot and stupid, but he is a necessary evil among so many politicians with the same failure idea - Socialism.
I living here and i can say what i live every days
60k people murdered per year.
Too many women being raped per day.
Too many people starving.
Crimes with no solution because all corruption broken the country.
Socialism has been destroying South America.
I love my country, but all politicians destroyed it.
But here is still a natural paradise, with beautiful and strong people and nature, best thing of ours.

Jhonny Cage X Rage This fake freedom of ours is pretty fucking dope.
pure energy. THIS is punk rock at its best. seeing them live was an experience youd never forget. rest easy guys...you are missed greatly.
This is absolutely one of the best recorded live concerts ever.
To many overdubs but it's a great watch.
Don’t you hear and see that is massively edited and overdubbed ? So it was a very crappy live recording concerts. That’s why they added all this shit over.
@@vintagepipesnightmares and a weird guitar overdub - it sounds cool but it doesn't sound like Johnny - and I've seen them around 1977-1980 a few times, it's pleasant on the ears but not the real deal
LOVE IT!
Silviu Stefan just because it was overdubbed and edited doesn’t mean it’s shit. Overdubbing and editing is a common practice among the biggest rock bands, even the Beatles did it.
Its incredible how they played with so much intensity for so long. Its not human like. They are true legends.
🎉❤😂 I concur 🥂🩰💯🧹
Philadelphia USA 🇺🇲 AMEN ☦️🙏😇❤️
Work at it enough, and have the right strumming arm posture, and you can go for it too.
They were all in the early twenties. Flipping out on high energy rock in 77 was the norm and not too hard to do.
@@jameswarhol442 I beg to differ, given nobody has come close to their intensity
Tenho pena de já não existirem nem nada assim parecido...Ramones serão ÚNICOS....
This concert is something I would give my life for.
Mind blowing, these guys didn't give a shit and built their own universe, epic.
Ake Hilding at this point in their time true. but in the 80's they tried to get a mainstream hit and made changes to attempt to get favor with radio people. Epic fail never fully got back to early way that they came to be known for
+Michael Frierson what songs they change
Didn't change songs. They made changes in song styles. Just listen to songs from early albums then songs from albums of the 80's. Varied from mainstream style to soft rock, and heavy metal/hard rock. I think som of their 80's heavy metal attempts did influence some other bands.
Fuck Yeah !!
Michael Frierson
I’m sorry, but “She Talks To Rainbows” is one of their best songs.
This is my medicine.
Likewise. It never fails to give me a buzz..... :)
i'm currently suffering from what no doctor can tell me, i suspect nerve damage and costochondritis, as a result of drug side effects and i can tell you that there has never been a time that the RAMONES haven't been medicine to me
thats the perfect statement dude
Missed their first show in 76 at the roundhouse, so was desperate to see this one. About 20 of us walked back south of the river buzzing til the middle of March. What a fucking sweaty fantastic night it was.
I've been listening to this concert for a billion years, it always sounds awesome
14 songs in barely 26 minutes, that's Ramones
*Short and Sweet*
No wonder why they played so hard and fast!!🤘🤘🤘
Short concert with an impressive message.
Like a wave of energy ripping through
Premature E ROCK ulation. But right on time. This is delicious.
I love live Joey and his snarled twisted singing style. A true arteeest
Wow, this sounds better than the studio recordings.
They make me feel young again.
Holy shit what a ripper! the energy off these guys is incredible .
I love how DeeDee's count-ins don't actually set the tempo.
Haha....yes
we love you Dee Dee
Yeah it’s funny 😂
his enthusiasm is not matched by the band's desire to play in a fast but sensible tempo
his intros are the best though. one of the most thrilling things in music is: Joey starts mumbling an intro, DeeDee yells over him one two three, and four is drowned out by the crushing freight train of sound
CJ's counts were even more like that, super fast 1234! and then a small break before they start, sounds great still tho )
I'm 60, and I saw them live. Twice. Once at Mississippi Nights and once in Japan. I had a beer with them in the Holiday Inn. The Ramones were the coolest Rock%Roll band ever. Punk rock was fn cool. I love these old recordings.
There is so much impossible stuff going on here - The speed at which Dee Dee’s and Johnny’s hands move, Tommy’s eighths on the hat, Joey’s rock-like stability at the center of the storm, the nearly identical tempos, the craziness and naked sincerity of the lyrics, Dee Dee’s insane jumps, the tiny dismissive gaps between songs, the “banter” (“After eating chicken vindaloo, I wanna be well.”), Dee Dee’s count offs . . . And remember how insanely LOUD this all was. Devastated everything in their path.
It's just SO good. Johnny is all down strokes as well!
...vero.
Damn, you're tripping me out. Too many doinks.
Girl commenting above me, you're beautiful
Yeah, it was a constant, blaring wall of sound minus those times Joey brought out the sing along signs, GABBA.
Wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna yeah
I am Russian and was born in 1988 in the USSR, I love punk rock and Ramones is its icon.
We will all die, not about descendants, earthlings, will continue to listen to "*It's alive*" , because it's legendary. Havana Affair is my favorite song all the time. I'm glad that I managed to partly touch the legend during Marky Ramone's DJ set and get his autograph in Russia in 2013.
Ramones - one and only. Album "rocket to Russia" - my answer - from Russia with love!
Third rule is don't talk to commies!
Пацаны, бей буржуR 1-2-3-4😊
Saw them play in Detroit in 1982. Best concert I ever heard.
Ever heard " The Decendents-" song- wendy?
And is there a russian that will never say "I am russian"? As if anyone cares if you are russian.
If i had a time machine this would be my first destination for sure
Damn right!
That was back when The Ramones still had there original drummer isn't it?
Right. Tommy rulez.
stephen lang Yes Tommy was on the drums still. Marky didn’t come into the band until seventy eight to take over on the drums
HaHa! Will do brother, im working on it
I designed album "ITS ALIVE" for RAMONES- BEST RAMONES LIVE ALBUM!
This is a treasure. So glad this exists.
I met the Ramones backstage at Antonino’s Pizzaria in November 1977. I remember them saying they were going to be the next Beatles, chatted with Dee Dee about his love for comic books, shared something they called “ Hemotonic “ in a squeeze bottle, and had all of their autographs on a bar napkin which I subsequently lost.
In my opinion this version of commando is one of the greatest pieces of music recorded in human history
Same with Glad to see you go, can't stop hearing!
If not, for the existence of Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment, I would be prepared to agree with you, but that might be the most incredible musical artifact in the history of mankind.
Glad to see you go is the one I would say about that.
Havana affair went off
Agreed and Pinhead is pretty fucking top notch as well. A great show end of.

Lou Reed's reaction to first hearing The Ramones: "It makes everybody else look so bullshit and wimpy, man, Patti Smith and myself included". This coming from one of the most arrogant rock stars to ever live really says something! A world without The Ramones almost doesn't bear thinking about!

@@ronshekelson Nay, I did not, but I've always been partial to a 'The' in there with any band, including bands that don't have one like Pixies. See, didn't that sound wrong as you read it? I say 'The Pixies'. I don't care if I'm wrong.
@@ronshekelson I think people get confused because, as you can see, their poster behind them just says 'Ramones' as do their t-shirts, but when you hear the band members interviewed they refer to their band as 'The Ramones'.

“I think our peak, our greatest moment, is that New Year’s Eve show of 1977 into 1978. I think that’s our greatest moment as a band.” - Johnny Ramone
One of my favorite live albums of all time!
its the sword tip of new yorks character
The energy is is UNBELIEVABLE!
The best live what Iever heard.....Born May 1978 after this best gig ever of f world!!!God bless Ramones 4ever
They played like gods at this show.
Probably the best live performance ever. Having this legendary concert in a video, is like we are part of the history.
I miss Ramones so much. My mis spent youth gyrating to the live shows when I should have been doing my homework I have never regretted. 🤎
I'd put F.E.A.R live on snl , bad brains , Metallica 1983 and Metallicas performance in Russia above this . Damn then there's still Queen performing at Wembley
We deffs apart of the history though and it's a beautiful thing fr
I agree bro. Ramones is great. A puro, a beer , waiting my lunch and watching this. Cheers from Brazil.
Upload!!
I think everyone who was at that gig, including me, were privileged to see that band. They were on fire, and never let up for a second. For us young punks it was such a joy to be amongst so many like minded people. Great memories, and they are just actual memories, no iPhones in those days!
Long live the Ramones!

Legendary Ramones concert. They were a music machine gun barely pausing between songs they hit you with round after round in rapid succession. The speed of their set list was only possible through sheer will power. Joey’s ripping vocals, Johnny’s warp speed down stroke on lead guitar, Dee Dee’s blistering bass playing along with Tommy rhythmically beating the drum kit like it owed him money. We will never see anything like the Ramones again. I’m glad videos of them exist so the world will remember what real rock looked like.
Perfection
My friend Jack saw them do this show in Boston he said your hair was blowing back no one had seen anything like the Ramones….This performance rages it makes my day always and every time I hear it.
It was an awesomely frenetic time that the Ramones captured perfectly. These guys changed the music world.
@@macematthewcolodny8452 wow new York really seemed to influence Boston music I heard a lot of Boston area musicians got into bands after seeing velvet underground and then Boston had a punk scene maybe after Ramones came to town

This is a thing of beauty - tears… I love this so much
The Ramones. SUCH a cool unique style/sound. They DID truly create their OWN universe. The look, the sound, everything all their own. The biggest thing I love about them is that while yes, theyre rockin,' they are POSITIVE and its uplifting music. Not evil or dark or demonic nonsense. Its about getting up and getting into action, like it should be. Love these people and their style. Inspired me hugely in my teens, and even to this day. Rare rock band, we need MORE!
this is a fucking great comment...
The dark part is not true. Plenty of their songs are Dark AF. They are a punk band after all
Legends!!! I am listening them since I was 15, and still at 57 , everyday!!!
That’s so cool to hear! I’m 30 and listen to them every day since I was 15 years old! Ramones never die!
Me too...I listen to this for more than 40 years. What an energy.
I'm 57 too. Wanna take over the world?
I am 65 and after years of listening to Zep Hendrix AC/DC and kick ass R&R I have gotten into the Ramones and I can say these guys are fucking great
I'm 60 now, same, listen every morning to load up for the day.
10:33 Commando ends, Joey says “Thank you”, tiny pause then Havana Affair roars into life. Love that transition.

Saw them over a 120 times and i wish it was more . Greatest rush in music history.
Every song is a classic! With no space in between. They just blast off the whole time. It’s incredible.
No set lists anywhere either. They had the whole damned thing memorized. I'm having to look at my setlist 3 times each song to not forget what song is coming next, lol.

easy now....lets not forget The Dead Boys ......member Stiv?.....and oh yeah,,,,,, The Dolls/ lots before The Ramones
I'd say the Stooges take that honor; HOWEVER, the Ramones brought it to a wider audience and defined it through their look and style for a generation.
The Stooges & MC5
So glad I got to see them perform numerous times. It's funny to see kids wearing Ramones shirts today. It's like do they even know one song?
The Ramones' songs come out like bullets out a machine gun. One right behind the other.
I think it were not bullets but more atomic bombs . They were so impressive.

Crazy how iggy pop out lived all his sons . Long Live Ramones !!
This is like listenning to an half an hour punk rock song, gotta love it
The things I like about the Ramones are the great melodies, short fun songs with the distorted guitars and the cool image with the hair and leather jackets. They literally redefined rock music which up until then was usually blues-based. The Ramones did not follow conventions. There is something infectious about them. I can't stop watching their videos. Rest in peace guys. You are forever missed!
This is not blues-based??? It's classic RnB, played at x3 and distorted - and great!
Some of it may be blues based but most of it sounds like bubble-gum pop to me with distortion. Whatever it is, it sounds great and makes you want to jump up and down and have fun!
Thats the key. Melodic and catchy. No soloing. Cut to the chase music. One singer,one guitar, bass,. drums. The mighty møtörhead shared the same dna.
Now you're ready to hear the Ramones anti-thesis...Type O Negative. Start with their cover of Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid'. Then, search 'Christian Woman' and 'Black No.1'. ... and if you're REALLY feeling adventurous and un-PC, listen to 'Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity'.
No better band (apologies to the Ramones) ever existed than TON!!!!
@@arthurbishop3173 Yes I just heard all those songs you mentioned. Type O Negative definitely have their own sound. It is dark and menacing and far removed from the Ramones. I like them too but for different reasons. Thanks for the suggestion!
ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK BANDS OF ALL TIME AND ONE OF THE GREATEST LIVE ALBUMS! EVERY NEW YEARS I WATCH THIS MORE THAN ONCE! AND THEN ALL THRU THE YEAR!
I bought the first album in 76 and was a fan til the end and even now. The fake punk rockers who just ripped them off are bums! I saw them 100's of times and they were great every time.
LONG LIVE THE RAMONES!

As a guitarist I've always marveled at Johnny and Deedee's right hand technique. It's human nature when the bpms get that fast to start alternate picking. They'd have none of that, too jangly and wimpy. Everything is on the downstroke. Their hands become blurred and if you watch the wide shots with both of them, they synchronized their picking patterns perfectly. Even just from the perspective of a physical workout it's remarkable and they often did it for 2 hours and then did it again the next night. I can't imagine how their elbows and wrists survived the abuse. This was one of my most played albums as a kid, and I learned every song in order. I could play every note, but I could never play it like johnny did.
They probably took vitamins.
I've heard that playing with the instrument slung super low, to have the arm stretched out, helps a lot with the fast downpicking.
To be honest, just stretching my arm and doing the downpick motion, it seems way easier than if I bend my arm
@HipsterNgariman
Almost all highly skilled guitarist wear their guitar at waist level or above I have noticed.
it does help with the fast downpicking, but there becomes a point where it's so low it's pretty much just showmanship and style. it makes it a lot harder to play anything technical. with that being said most punk-type music is just spamming a bunch of power chords anyway @@HipsterNgariman
@@MrJohnnyDistortion technical guitarists definitely do wear their guitars at a more regular position typically. it's more of a stylistic choice/showmanship choice and has kind of become a staple around rock music. look at jimmy page and slash for example, they wear their guitars super low
Damn!! Watching this put a HUGE SMILE on my face. This upload is SUCH A BLESSING! ❤️❤️❤️
Nothing but music, (1234) no bull shit in between, Thank you, Ramones for being part of my teen years. RIP.
The band I truly miss and have seen live the most. I won 4 tickets on the radio one night working a grave shift. The DJ wanted the 10th caller. It was 3:00 a.m. and no one ever called in that late. I used to talk to this DJ frequently about music when we were slow at work. He turned me on to some genres I was unaware of and would play tracks so I didn’t have to buy if I didn’t like it. Back then 12’’ records were $5, doubles were $10 and sometimes you got a poster. He did his job requirement and made me call back until I was 10th and then, in a monotone voice, he said “yaaay, you just won 2 tickets to see the Ramones”. We laughed, I said thanks and I picked the tickets up at Tower Records down the street the next day.
This was also before everyone had cell phones and gps. I looked up the venue in the yellow pages and got verbal directions from the bartender. It was a small blue collar joint out of the city about 45 minutes away in the middle of bumfu. . uh, nowhere. Maximum occupancy 50. I remember seeing that sign because I thought to myself, “Damn, we’re gonna be packed like sardines in a can”! By the looks of it though, they probably never had 50 people in there on a good night.
I took my older roommate and his girlfriend. He said “Who? Oh the ramones, I remember them, they suck”. But he had a car. I convinced him to drive by giving them tickets and said I’d buy their drinks for the night. He was at least open minded hah. Rolling his eyes, he begrudgingly said “yea, but you’re paying for gas and if they suck we’re leaving”. I agreed and resigned myself to hitchhiking back if they left. Unbelievably, nobody else would take the 4th ticket because it was on a Wednesday or Thursday.
There couldn’t have been more than 10-15 people in there at a time. Zippy was running around the bar in full dress with a Gabba Gabba Hey sign. The stage barely fit their gear but they played Exactly like this to an almost empty room. Full Bore giving it all they had. It was like we watched some Twilight Zone practice session.
The bar had a free steak and potato’s buffet and we had a table about 3’ away from center stage. My roommates brain must have exploded at some point that night. By the time we left he was hoarse from screaming ‘’Hey Ho Let’s Go!!’’ He wouldn’t give my leather jacket back until the next day and bought himself one a week or so later. I think he might have even slept in mine that night. She had to drive us home and was unimpressed I’m sure (Bon Jovi/Nordstrom chick).
The next day he admitted he was wrong, took back all the trash talking and my records went on heavy rotation Hahaa!! I saw them again shortly after that show with Blondie at the Moore in Seattle and even though they kicked ass, nothing could compare to the night I sawed up a couple steaks, ate potato’s, had shots, beers and turned my die hard rhythm and blues roommate into a Ramones fan.
R.I.P. to the Greatest 3 chord Rock and Roll band that ever existed. ✌️
That was one of those nights you will never forget and it seems you haven’t. Thanks for sharing

Amen, bro...
The coolest band to come out of the 70’s
It’s really understated just how revolutionary it was for the times. It was all disco and arena rock. I can appreciate lots of music, but these are Ramones.
So many cool bands from that area.....New York Dolls, the Stooges, The Clash, The Damned, the Sex Pistols, Wipers, the Pagans, Dead Boys, Pure Hell etc.
Dee Dee is unbelievable here. What a gig!
And Johnny
Lol yeah Dee Dee looks like he's about to explode from all that energy
Dee Dee was always unbelievable..!!
He was unstoppable!
When they played where I live in the mid 80's, Dee Dee asked a guy I know where to score some blow lol
15 songs in 26 minutes.
Classic.
I saw them in a small venue in 1980.
My ears were ringing for 2 weeks! One of the best shows I ever saw. SLAM!
I saw them in a club a couple years after that and the loudness stands out as much as anything else in my memory haha. I was right in front of Johnny's Marshalls and next to a wall of PA speakers.
I feel fortunate to have seen these guys perform while they were still on this earth.
Wow I wish I could have seen them!!!
So much energy! One of the greatest bands ever! Long live The Ramones!
yeah ! the ramones are great :-) i love them :-)
I totally agree, what an energy in their music. Music of today is completely boring compare with this musical atomic bomb of the Ramones.
40 years ago tonight. 31 Dec 1977. 31 Dec 2017. The Ramones will live on no matter what year it is.
