Our Take

Ah, the Ramones. The leather-clad, punk rock legends who brought us hits like "Blitzkrieg Bop" and "I Wanna Be Sedated". Their energy was contagious, their music anthemic. So when a live broadcast from Buffalo, NY in 1979 surfaced, it was like striking punk rock gold.

The album kicks off with a thunderous roar, as the Ramones launch into "Rockaway Beach". The raw power of their performance is palpable, with Joey Ramone's iconic sneer cutting through the airwaves like a musical chainsaw. The band barrels through classics like "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" and "Pinhead", each song a sonic assault on the senses.

But it's not just the music that makes this album special. The banter between songs is priceless, with Joey's deadpan humour shining through. "We're the Ramones, and we're here to save rock 'n' roll", he declares before launching into "Teenage Lobotomy". It's this irreverent charm that sets the Ramones apart from their peers.

The recording quality may not be perfect, but that's part of the charm. It's like you're right there in the crowd, feeling the sweat and energy of a Ramones show. If you're a fan of punk rock, this album is a must-listen. It's a snapshot of a band at the height of their powers, tearing through a set with reckless abandon. So put on your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and let the Ramones transport you back to a time when rock 'n' roll was raw, loud, and oh so much fun.

About the artist

Ramones

The Ramones: The Original Punk Pioneers Formed in 1974 in Queens, New York, The Ramones are often credited as the godfathers of punk rock. With their signature fast, loud, and no-frills approach to music, this band brought a raw energy to the music scene that has inspired countless musicians and fans alike. Comprised of Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, and Tommy Ramone, the band started out playing small clubs in the downtown New York scene, quickly gaining a cult following with their catchy yet simplistic anthems. With songs like "Blitzkrieg Bop" and "I Wanna Be Sedated", The Ramones crafted a sound that was equal parts rebellious and infectious. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1976, is often cited as one of the greatest rock albums of all time, with its relentless pace and anthemic choruses capturing the hearts of listeners worldwide. With a career spanning over two decades, The Ramones released a total of 14 studio albums, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to influence punk and alternative music to this day. Despite their immense influence and critical acclaim, The Ramones never achieved mainstream commercial success during their career. But their impact on the music industry is immeasurable, with their distinct sound and DIY ethos paving the way for countless bands to follow in their footsteps. Even though the original members have all passed away, The Ramones' music lives on, with their timeless songs serving as a reminder of the power of pure, unadulterated rock and roll. So if you're looking to dive into the roots of punk rock, look no further than The Ramones - the band that started it all. Hey ho, let's go!
