Product Description
Punk forefathers Joey Johnny Dee Dee Tommy Marky Richie and C-Jay Ramone outlasted almost every one of their legions of followers. For over twenty years they delivered their signature garage-flavored ear-shattering chainsaw level and pop-skewed sound through a string of now-classic loud-and-fast punk rock LPs and 2263 concerts together. This new two DVD set captures the essence of the legendary racket they made with over four hours of rare and previously unreleased live footage that s theclosest you can get to experiencing this blitzkrieg of a band. From their earliest performances at lower Manhattan s CBGBs tointernational festivals in front of hundreds of thousands of fans IT S ALIVE 1974 1996 is your VIP ticket to the Ramones. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002 the band may be gone but their sound and influence are indestructible.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS UPC: 603497048328

 This is the real deal! October 18, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a man you is in his early 50's living in NJ with about a 45min ride to CBGBS I lived my early life going to the punk clubs weekly seeing them all from the Ramones to Blondie and my fav's Johnny Thunder's Heartbreakers. This is by far the best live collections of any of the bands of that era, It brought such a smile to my face and had my feet tapping throughout. This is real punk from when punk was a word people made up as that is what they thought of the music and the simplicity of it, as they just did not get it yet. We were far from punks, just kids who were sick of the boring music of the time and wanted music that came from the begining of rock- 3 minutes of high energy music that made you dance(anyone remember the pogo?) no more no less. This DVD is the real deal, not the phony placebo garbage that started when the so called new wave era started when the record executives saw that they could make some cash and tried to have bands sound punk and look punk(punk was an additude not a look). So if some of you kids want to see and hear this additude pick this up and you'll know what the true so called punks of that era were doing- just having fun and to put it mildly that was the keyword of that era FUN. Pick it up and you'll be bopping and smiling throughout, as you'll in an instant that this music is the truely real punk that bands today still are trying to imitate but sadly a Ramones song says it all "You Don't Come Close". As you cannot fake a true additude, this dvd is the documented truth of that, and damn is it fun.
Essential. Period. September 25, 2008

Why are you reading this?
If you are a Ramones fan -- or a rock n roll fan -- you should already have this in your shopping cart and be checking out by now. Stop reading the reviews and buy it, already.
Over four hours of the Ramones live = musical nirvana.
Yeah, the sound quality of the early tracks is poor, but not as bad as you might think. Plus, let's face it, they weren't that great in September 1974, so who cares?
My only problem is with the guy who edited the December 31, 1977 London show. What's up with that? It's not only out of sequence but it looks like someone just got a video editing machine and was playing around with it for the first time. Neverthless, the show totally rocks as does the rest of the DVD.
If you like the Ramones you either already have this DVD or will have it soon. No reason to wait. The price is right ($15.49? are you kiddin' me? That's a steal) and being able to watch the Ramones live whenever you want is too good to pass up.
Gabba gabba, baby.

the Ramones ripping through the years June 9, 2008

If you never got to see the Ramones this is a video for you, if you got to see the Ramones this is a video for you.
This brilliant video takes from the very beginging to the end, and all the stops inbetween. It is a must for a Ramones fan.
Having seen the Ramones many times throughout the years, this video has stuff I never saw before.
I had to have this in my collection and wasn't disappointed.
 LOTS OF CRAPPY FOOTAGE AND SOUND April 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
THE TITLE HERE SAYS IT ALL. I HAD TO SIT THROUGH LOTS OF GRAINY, FUZZY FOOTAGE AND WORSE - SONGS WHERE I COULDN'T EVEN HEAR JOEY'S VOCALS. YES THERE IS SOME DECENT FOOTAGE BUT OVERALL A LOT OF THE SAME STUFF/POOR QUALITY.
