RIP THE RAMONES
Four boys who marked a before and after in the history of punk, the parents of punk .... The Ramones

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.
@@namor357 Tommy was the original drummer, not Marky.
Well said mi amigo. God bless those guys. 1 2 3 4
They all went too soon
@@namor357 saw marky sit in with RAMMSTEIN at the hammerstein ballroom
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.
IN THE KITCHEN 😥😥😥😥
@@kitjeab I think Joey would be proud...
Epic
Big shoes big..Feet, I guess from what Linda Ramone and others said he was a Casanova
It's too bad TH-cam 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. :-)
26 minutes definitely feels like an hour and a half with these guys. Super condensed song experience.
About one third of the entire concert
I was 13 in 1977 and I am convinced that 1977 was the greatest year of the 20th century. First it was the 70s, Punk was huge, Star Wars came out, you had the 77 Trans Am, Vietnam was over.
This concert being filmed in this quality is simply a gift for humanity.
Exactly. The quality is outstanding for 1977.

What.. S
@@micace9554 q@"7+0
Yeah, it us actually BETTER than being there (for listening purposes anyway) because of how loud they were! You couldn't really tell what song was playing until you heard the lyrics lol. I got permanent hearing damage from seeing them too many times. I'd do it again. Lol
Ramones didn't have a style, they were the style
well said...
"We don't follow fashion, who needs it when you got style?" - Del Lords
I love these guys
Style , fun , and where the uniform.
they created the style
The Ramones were like a meteor, It came, We saw it, and then it was gone. RIP Ramones.
Double-Like!!!
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....
I was chilling in my room playing Ramones. My dad came storming in and said "TURN THAT SHIT UP". Good times
Coolest dad ever.
I literally laughed out loud. Good job son
My dad did the same while I was playing an Offspring record
Paolo Loyola haha so fantastic 🙌
hilarious!
1-2-3-4 Ramones only Band that can play a entire 90 mins concert in under 27 mins ...Legends
Yep, Johnny said, “we have tons of 4 minute songs…we just play them in 2 minutes “
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.
Metallica could play a 8 minute song in under 4 minutes in 1986

Was this concert edited ? The Alive album which was from this concert had 28 tracks.
❤So glad I witnessed the original members in of all places in Newport Kentucky at a dump bar but iconic place called the Jockey Club and the fact that they solved the space 🌌 and time theory is a high point of my life.
@@electricwarrior1832yes it is.
Thanks m8ey
I saw The Ramones in about 1990 in London. I was right down the front just before they came on when I noticed my shoelace was undone. I bent down to tie it when I heard Joey scream, "Hi, we're The Ramones...1, 2, 3, 4..." and boom - they tore into the first song at 100 miles an hour (way faster than these early gigs) and the crowd turned into an instant mosh pit. At the end of the first song I bent down to try again when I heard Joey say "It's great to be here...1, 2, 3, 4.." and boom - they tore into the second song. I think you can see where this is going. Needless to say that I never did get my shoelace tied until the end of the gig. The Ramones were amazing. Definitely one of the highest energy gigs I've ever witnessed. R.I.P lads.
Love your story.
Stellar😂
The only band that the older they got, the faster they played.
@@buzzcrushtrendkillOr maybe they always played at that speed live but slowed it down for the records to be more commercially appealing? IDK but but it was WAY faster than the records. Proper crazy moshing tempo.
And every kid in that crowd went home and started a band.....
John H that’s a quote from an audience member at a show they did in London. Most people present at the show went on to be in some of the most influential punk bands of the time.
I heard strummer say he was at this show
@BestCanKeanRob2 Watch Razorfist's Metal Mythos on the Ramones and hear it from the bands themselves th-cam.com/video/7khDGIuzAWE/w-d-xo.html
@BestCanKeanRob2 You sure about that? Ramones First album April 1976 - Sex Pistols first album Oct 1977
Pretty much. Including me, we never got beyond the garage though.
Who is watching this during quarantine? Ramones Argentina loves you for ever
AQUI YO Y MI ESPOSA!.SALUDOS DESDE ECUADOR!
Me!
PUNX NOT DEAD!
Me... shit holds up!

Argentina are the best fans! More love for the Ramones there than Queens. Respect. Stay safe.
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!!
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
"Well... It´s good to be back in England and it´s good to see all you again, TAKE IT DEE DEE!!!! 1-2-3-4!!!" Simply legendary!!

@@lindareynolds659 do you need a volunteer? I can try 😜
Haha I was actually there. Haha
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?
I was there in the upper seating. Looking at this footage it is now clear to me what a genius Joey Ramone was.
Beato te!
@@lauradegortes4922brilliant? yes. genius? not so much.
26 minutes and it feels like a full set. Only the Ramones could do it. God bless them
They truly were very simple musicians. Not a single guitar pedal, a drumkit that consists of 6 pieces.. Proves that you dont need all that to be fuckin amazing!
Wait don’t you need a distortion pedal for the distortion pedal jk 😂 I know there are other ways 😂 yeah it’s awesome their simplicity made them awesome
Not only no pedals... no UPSTROKES
"Upstrokes are for cheaters. Ramones don't cheat." -- Johnny
The "solo" in "Havana Affair" that's just the same notes as the rest of the song, only louder, still makes me scream every time I hear it after all this time
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.
Best of the best
@@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.
This concert is something I would give my life for.
15 songs in 26 minutes.
Classic.
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.
“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.
First time actually watching them play. Absolute chaos!
Thank god this was captured at their very peak. Tommy on drums and they were full of hope and energy.
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!
Hi, can you tell what joey Says before I Wanna be well?
@@gumballgodzilla4334 Awesome!!
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.
@@gustavopesino7047 "Well, after eating that Chicken Vindaloo - I wanna be well"
It's not called The Ramones anymore. It just says Ramones even in the vintage video. Crazy Mandela effect
R.I.P. ......All four of these dudes. :(
way too soon!!
Self inflicted. Shitty lifestyle =early death.
@@FYMASMD Joey, Johnny and Tommy died of cancer.
Oh, and you're a dumb asshole.
@FYM ASMD Johnny didn't drink and did not smoke. He took no drugs at all. But you think it s all about the livestyle.
@@FYMASMD The fuck you're saying?
At 57 years old I still feel a great emotion .. thanks brothers wherever you are.
In 1977 they were probably the best live band on the planet.They played fast here but as time went on they tried to play faster and faster which I think may have been to their detriment. This concert was perfection.
Exactly right. In 1977 they couldn’t be touched. I saw them 4 weeks after this gig and it was incredible. A false floor was installed at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and because people were still doing the Pogo the false floor went up and down. You could stand still and still be Pogoing. Damndest thing I ever did see.
I saw them again in 1979 with Marky and it wasn’t the same. Tommy was better (for the Ramones) and they were playing faster which did not suit the material. Also, Joey had started to do the leave-out-some-syllables style that dominated his later years. It was lazy and I never saw them again after that year.
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.
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.
Omg this is my first time ever in my life listen to the Ramones. I never heard their songs ever in my life not even on the radio??? weird ??? Because they are very famous!!! So im shocked they never came on the radio ever !!!?? How weird??? My parents would play old records vinyl's in my childhood it was only irish music only im from irish speaking part of Ireland so i only heard very old irish music 🎵🎵 all in irish (not in English) and wr didnt have TV untill 1990s!!! And internet untill 2000!!!!!!!! Anyway im falling in love with the ramones now at the age of 35!! ❤❤❤ Better late than never 😂😂
Ramones are a gift to us humans. Better than the album's is the live shows . They played like the world was about to end
45 Years ago now and it's still f*cking brilliant !!!!
Goddamn.., wish I was there. Good Tiimes \m/
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
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.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Put into context, there simply was no one like Ramones in '77. Completely authentic rockers. Seeing them was like a shared historical moment.
But isnt this after the Sex Pistols came out? Please dont ridicule. I was around back then but I cannot remember the events sequence.
@@klausrain111 The Ramones formed in 74. McLaren, inspired by the Ramones and some other early punk bands in the NY scene at CBGB's, returned to England and got the band The Strand to develop in a more Ramones-like style. The Strand added a new singer, John Lydon, and changed their name to the Sex Pistols.
@@klausrain111 The pistols have nothing on the Ramones. Not even close.
Ramones are the reason American hardcore exists, them and Iggy & The Stooges. Both bands impacts cannot be overstated
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
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
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

Did you notice the name has change from THE Ramones to Ramones? Even the vintage video has been altered by the Mandela effect
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.
I genuinely believe THIS is the greatest concert that was ever performed
You actually may be correct !
I steer you to this: th-cam.com/video/1m5xi_lDjcQ/w-d-xo.html the real best concert!

joseph rivera Completely agree. Simple, strong clear fast, rock music as it should be
Just as good now as the first time. It's called timeless. And finally they are classic rock

All dead. Ramones live forever. RIP
I know. Hard to believe they’re all gone now. RIP
I saw them a few month later in Berlin. Standing just in front of Deedee. Best Gig im my Life. Still have to play a Ramones Concert once a week on me Headphones. Keeps me young.
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.
this is rock.mmmm
I have listened the Ramones for the first time in 1977. I buyed the 45 rpm "Glad to see you go" in the far Catania (Sicily)...They changed, forever, my life....Today? I'm a quiet man but, under my skin, my heart beat at 300mph....thank you my Brothers...forever!
We all got old... but, I REFUSE to “act my age”! The Ramones, in my soul, NEVER DIED!! They still play in my car most days....
Saw these guys in Leeds UK, almost 45 years on still the best live band I have ever seen, had to buy a T shirt to go home in, mine was totally soaked through from pogo dancing, was utterly blown away by the energy.
Yep.we called it Pogo,ing,not " mosh pit"- 1977-80s
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.
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

Jesus, what an onslaught. New Years Eve '77, I'd say the The Ramones at The Rainbow was the place to be. Such a blistering set that was!
Blistering indeed! Saw them live when I was about twelve (don't ask me how!!) In New York City. Was never the same...in a good way!!🙃
How could anyone pack that much in-your-face rock and roll into less than 30 minutes but the Ramones?!

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
Monkey see monkey do...
Philadelphia USA 🇺🇲❤️💋☦️🙏🧹🦇
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.
From NYC to London. This concert is EPIC!
They were so tight, one of their best recorded concerts, one that has aged well and become legendary, the energy, the crowd , it's just perfect...
Better than their studio recordings: Faster tempo and louder
It's perfect and they all seem to be having so much fun. The Ramones were a strange accident that exploded on the world.
I don't think those ever felt more alive and pure as they did this night.
Saw The Ramones live in the summer of '77. I was 15 years old and it changed my life...
Wow
I could imagine being a teenager and hearing The Ramones for the first time. They would have been my favourite band. What an iconic show. No wonder the brittish bands were so inspired by these guys.
I heard before one of these shows in England, the kids who talked to them one of which were Johnny Rotten said they would start a band but they don't know how to play their instruments yet. The Ramones asked, "Have you heard us yet? Watch the show tonight and you'll see we don't really know either" lol
I saw almost all of their concerts and they still are the best band ever lived !!!!!
they played 180-200 shows per year, for 20 years, not possible to see almost all their concerts unless you travelled the world with endless amounts of cash for planes and hotels
Whenever I've checked my iPod over the past 8/9 years, Ramones Alive has consistently remained the most played album on my iPod. Nothing has ever surpassed it.
Who has an iPod in 2019? Is this a bot or something?
@@rogerc23 I have a (vinyl) record player
I use it everyday
Saw them at an old bowling alley in Toronto''s west end 1980. About 100 of us spent the last 10 songs of their performance in a tight circle around the band singing their songs in unison and they played full-on. I was maybe 8 ft from them and I took a mental photograph of those moments. That is a cherished rock n' roll memory. After they were done, it was autograph time. The Ramones admitted in an interview that NYC, Boston & T.O. were their favorite concert stops due to the love shown them.
I was there too!
Wow! Outside of my music friends, I've never talked to anyone about that show. But it comes up in conversation every now and then. Club Kingsway was the venue and it was an all-ages event. What are your memories of that day? Does 1967 signify your birth year?
So, anyway, outside lining up there was this kid behind me.....maybe 12-13 and my friends and I were goofing around with him, asking him "How do you know about the Ramones? (his brother), stuff like that....and he starts making jokes about my height (he was funny) and I said to him, "Maybe you want to be taller?" Well, sure, I would," he said. "Ok, let's see..." and I get a hold of him by the top of shoulders of his jean jacket and lift him up slow about a foot off the ground. What d'ya think? You like like it up here? Get a good look" We were all laughing about that. "Ok, I've seen enough." It was a good time all around.
I was born in 1954...but in 1978 I bought a 1967 Pontiac, GTO convertible....my memories of that day are that I thought it was a very strange venue....I first saw the Ramones at the New Yorker theatre in Sep 76, and every show after that...the El Mocambo and again at the New Yorker theatre mainly up to that ...I think the Masonic Temple and Danforth Music Hall shows were later, and RPM was much later...I'd been going to concerts in Toronto since 1969, and had never seen a show at Club Kingsway before, and I've never heard of a show there since then....I have a vague memory that the show wasn't at night....is that right?
Your memory is correct. It was in the late afternoon on a summer's day. I'd never before heard of that club - or since. It was a shard of time. The Ramones shows before that you saw must have been really intense.
Had the extreme pleasure of seeing The Ramones 6 times (all before 1980). They were the godfathers of punk rock. RIP Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee and Tommy.
My God, these guys 1977 playing England when punk was real, bringing the source back there.. Rock History.
Saw them back in 1996, I was only 16 years old. Their last tour in South America. I will never forget when I saw Joey in front of me, I was very close to the stage. Adios Amigos tour 1996 @ Olympia, São Paulo.
Lucky man!
They make me feel young again.
What a time to be a teenager. We'd have 25 people crammed into a single dorm room all tripping listening to this new genre of music. I miss those days.
Ok RAMONES.
My brother, a huge fan, used to bounce for the Ramones whenever they played City Gardens. I wish I saw them, especially at CG.
I still can't believe they did this in the 70's... my perspective of the past is upside down now..
FPKBlast They started in the early 70s too.
Legends never die. They live forever. Long live the Ramones!
They are legends !!
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!"
I was 3 months old, The Ramones were on fire.
If you ever met Joey. I dont think he knew that he was an icon for generations to come.
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!
"Considered one of the best..." Are you kidding, it's THE BEST punk rock performance EVER!
True Oracle Me too!
I was 5 years old at this time.

They were so tight! Just one song after another with no breaks in between.
I don’t understand how dee dee can play that fast and tight. Johnny too obviously but dee dee is crushing it, adding so much to this performance. I never get tired of watching these guys
it's been dubbed.
@@nowhirr8135 that has nothing to do with how much energy and speed they have. I guess I don’t understand your response
@@nowhirr8135 with audio from where lol
@@donjuanmckenzie4897 from the studio
I just love watching Dee Dee playing and jumping.
R.I.P. Dee Dee.
The first live album I ever bought with my own money and still the best live album I ever listened to. Ramones forever!
Thank you dear Ramones, the energy of your music kept me from becoming a criminal, I can never thank you equally!!!!!
This is just joy. Wasn't at this gig but saw them 4 times. Fkn legends.
Ah to be 19 again and to have the infinite energy to be in the pit at a Ramones show for the entire set and not get tired.
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!
Did you notice the name change from THE Ramones to Ramones? Even in the Vintage video the poster says Ramones?? The Mandela effect got it
@@ronshekelson yea yea RAMONES
@@ronshekelson th-cam.com/video/smnHPXSKE4w/w-d-xo.htmlm08s
Well i hear they in 2016
They funckig great, really
One of the best punk band
@@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
There's perhaps no better encapsulation of the raw power of rock than this concert. Simple, honest, passionate. Beautiful.
Legend, first album I bought on holiday as a kid in 79, I remember there was no record player where I was staying so I just looked at the cover, got home put the record on changed my life, long live rock and roll.
Who in the hell would give this a thumbs down?
13 idiots as of today!
idiots!!!!..this is the best band ever...i saw them 20 times live...nothings better live!

yeah !! greatest rock band live ever !!,,,
