Watching this glorious vid revealed to me the greatness of the Ramones. They were grounded in a gravitational way. Johnny and DeeDee downpicking, Tommy's steady hi-hat setting the tempo which everyone had to keep up with. Joey just an anchor center stage. He's even rooted with his mic-stand. Even their haircuts have weight! No spikes or mohawks. No jumps. Just heels down, in and out. Come on, 11 perfect pop songs in 21 minutes?!
@@SquareTimes What is it if you do the same thing over and over and it keeps working? It's not the opposite of sanity, that's for sure. Maybe super double sanity with a soundtrack 😁🤯
I'm 56 and remember watching this show every Friday or Saturday night after the local news. This was before M TV! I was a drummer and my parents let me stay up because it was a weekend and they wanted me to learn to be a better performer. I had 2 older cousins who were into punk and we played these songs on VINYL AND 8 TRACKS!!
I’m 60 and same. The late 70s was such a great time for new music and so glad shows like this and Midnight Special were on so those of us who were too young to go out to the clubs could see it!
Saw them just once at pier 84 in NY around ‘81 (I think). Great time. They played extra fast that night (if that’s even possible) and it was super hot weather. Ate a few Chipwich to keep from passing out!
Ramones at perfect pace (thanks to Tommy).. I can remember seeing them in the 80's and 90's, when it took half of a song to make out which one it was? I think it was when Richie joined when they cranked up the pace.....aaaarghhh. great video of a show which we had no chance of seeing in the UK, but thanks to the net, we got the airwaves.
For sure had an undeniable flavor and energy that marked a specific time and place. Tunes like She's A Sensation are some of the tastiest pieces of rock candy ever recorded.
What a fabulous description, i never thought of grounded in that sense, but you're absolutely right, their greatness is enhanced and exemplified in this amazing recording 😊
the order of the songs is also wrong ( they never have their jackets on so late in the set ( only the first 4 songs) so i guess they have played a rather complete set in a slightly adapted song order. Maybe they started with Sheena as it was the single around that time and could have been their hit single. Also the guitar switch of johnny Ramone was not taped. But great to see the blue mosrite in all it's prime.
thanks for pointing this out. that beautiful blue mosrite was great to see after reading so much about it in the all bios etc. I rewound a few times to see if Mickey or Arturo or whoever switched it out for him after sheena.
Baloney! Marky Ramone was outstanding. I was in the thick of the NYC punk scene back then and while we respected the hell out of Tommy, everybody preferred Marky's drumming.
if you uploaded blitzkrieg bop in this quality would it have got you copy righted? there’s another channel that uploaded the songs in different videos in this quality and said they left out blitzkrieg bop for that reason
@@johnny-r I actually got it. The only thing that kills me is the picking pattern from the 90s. I have a chesp ass video on my channel trying to play at the 90s speed
@@sensacionsombria5125 I just watched your video - that's fucking fast. Good job. The key to the palm muting, I think, is you have to go pretty light with the pick. If you pound it, you'll sound like Metallica. Long live the Ramones and those of us who work to play their awesome style. (I realize this comment has a lot of words, but I'm not a cell-phone addict, so my mind is fairly clear to express.)
their early records have more power because they're a bit slower than their way too fast '90's stuff. particularly live. that's what gives electric guitar it's power. not playing it really fast. who cares a bout chord speed. they're in a hurry. they go out to execute a show in the '90's tapes. this is classic RAMONES. re-mastered. I wasn't sure it'd work, as I prefer the ORIGINAL studio 'GIMME GIMME SHOCK TREATMENT' to the re-mastered one. but they're both great!
Deadpan Don Kirchner was such an uncool maroon! He was aways trying to make kids appreciate the bands' lawyers, accountants and publicists like anybody gave a damn who those businesspeople were! I wish I could have been there when The Monkees told him to shove it! 😂
yes they are. 1min in to the show you can se johnnys cord on the floor and going in to the guitar. You could even se that he has a straight tele plug instead of an angled on. You can also see dee dees.
Dee Dee's count-ins alone prove the Ramones were playing the music. And, Tommy played lightly with his right hand, mainly because he was playing fast 8th notes, but he is laying into his snare and playing quarter notes with his right hand as hard as he is playing the snare. He plays the same way in the film made of their live album "It's Alive!". He was never a drummer until he played with the Ramones. So he had an unorthodox style.
I came here from The Ramones getting booed off the stage opening for Black Sabbath in San Bernardino and after that ended it went straight to this video so I figured I would watch some of it to make sure that my opinion of the Ramones.....complete garbage....was justified. Well this didn't change my opinion....let me just say that they have no talent and anybody could get up there and replace any member and it would sound the same.... But I guess that's the appeal of punk: mindless drivel. These are the artists who are skilled musicians: beatles doors, alice cooper, ccr, purple (w/gillan), sabbath, queen, floyd (w/ waters), danzig !!! But of course it's all relative to the individual so who am i to criticize, if you like mindless drivel performed by DOLTS, well, go for it and enjoy yourself cuz at the end of the day all that matters is did it make u smile thinking of fond memories....like me, I smile when thinking about how when I saw Sabbath on dec 1, 1978 at san Bernardino swing auditorium The Ramones open for them and got booed off the stage under a barrage of trash bottles and middle fingeres...then Sabbath came on and kicked ass!! Man, them were the days !!!!
@@Rfk1966...No I'm not deaf I really did hear that talentless hack lead singer saying F**K U San Bernardino while his roadie was escorting or rushing him off the stage I thought that was the best part of their set.
