Underrated set from perhaps the greatest Garage band who ever took the stage. The vocals here sound a little sloppy- but that's because NO ONE can sing as fast as the Ramones played in their later years- not even Joey Ramone! He still sounds pretty good on this recording, much better than on their last live album, 'We're Outta Here', by which time the speed of the band was absolutely insane, and it was IMPOSSIBLE to sing the lyrics (on that one Joey had to resort to throwing in the odd word or phrase so as to at least sketch the bare bones of each song's melody for the listener). The whole album is crazy (because of the speed of the music) but nevertheless very musical and of course exhilarating. The band simply sounds great. They play like veritable musical buzzsaws, but somehow never lose their place or sense of time. I called them a Garage band (and some may not see them that way) because of their basic, even primitive approach to their music, but within the framework of that simplicity The Ramones were the ultimate professionals. Their attention to details and the care they took to present themselves and their work in what they felt was just the right way... their devotion to their fans and music, their work ethic... traveling tens of thousands of miles in a cramped van year after year... all of these things are most impressive to me. Not many years after they finally disbanded in 1996 nearly all of the original members were dead... Joey Ramone died at 49, Dee Dee Ramone at 50, and Johnny Ramone at 55. It seems that The Ramones literally wore themselves out through constant recording, touring, and personal promotional appearances. I believe they sacrificed their lives for their fans and for Rock'n'roll. There's only one thing left to say: 1,2,3,4...Read full review
It's a verry good album. It sounds abit lite Loco Live but has a bit better sound and a few trax that Loco doesnt have. A must have for all Ramones fans!
Très bon produit!!
