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 2,263 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 the closest you can get to experiencing this blitzkrieg of a band. From their earliest performances at lower Manhattan's CBGBs to international 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.

Enjoy, And Turn Up The Volume! For Ramones Fans, Mainly.

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2013

Well, what can I say? How could I possibly give this DVD anything less than five stars? OK, here's a disclaimer: I'm a Ramones fan and have been ever since the "End of the Century" LP in 1978. Surely, this is one of America's greatest rock 'n' roll band and there's relatively little info about them available, particularly in their formative years. They're monumentally influential in the history of popular music. Their mere presence in England in the mid-70s started the whole Punk Rock/New Wave revolution with the Ramones getting little of the credit, at least at the time. Now, here's a wonderful tribute in the form of their concert recordings from 1974-1996. It's a wonderful DVD. Note that 96 out of 105 rankings are five stars. Well, that's probably the effects of Ramones fans.

Here's over 20 years of concerts. They're all pretty much alike. Joey Ramone stands in the middle and leans forward on his mike as he sings with his hair draped over his face. Johnny, the guitarist, is typically on his right and Dee Dee, the bassist, is to his left. Both are hyper-active in their playing. The drummer (variable) is behind the three. Their songs are short, fast, loud and simple. They all have a certain generic similarity. There usually is little break between songs. A concert is like a musical onslaught. It's repeated with only minor variations year after year and venue after venue. The DVD goes on and on and on and repeats and repeats and repeats the limited selection of songs. To a Ramones fan, it's wonderful. To someone who doesn't care for the Ramones, it would probably be deadly. Well, what can I say? Who but a deep-dyed Ramones fan would ever order this DVD, or even know about it?

The selections by the Ramones are the same, no matter what. But the quality of the video and sound recordings is highly variable. I prefer to listen to the Ramones loud, as it was meant to be. The sound quality on the DVD is not particularly good, however, and I seem to end up with a headache after about 30 minutes. On some of the selections, the sound is just awful, on others fairly good. You might keep in mind that the recordings are a compilation from many different sources, not a planned project. As such, I'd have to give the compiler high marks and an excuse for the variable quality. So, anyway, enjoy as best you can. It's the best stuff available for this monumentally influential musical group.

I'd guess you're probably wondering what my favorite songs are. Well, they include (in no particular order) Teenage Lobotomy, Blitzkrieg Bop, Sheena is a Punk Rocker, Pinhead, Rock 'n' Roll High School, Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio?, I Wanna Be Sedated, Beat On The Brat, and Do Yo Wanna Dance? For a special treat, you might watch the Ramones with a string section on "Baby I Love You" (disc 2) or with Sha Na Na on "Rock 'n' Roll High School" (disc 2). Enjoy, and turn up the volume. Don't expect everyone to like it as much as you do.

I included the pictures because if I was getting this as a collectors item and leaving it unopened then I would be pretty hot. Not sure where those scratches or inside small damage came from. But honestly it doesn't matter because I got this because I want to listen to it so loud the police show up!

It's bound to happen. I already have it open, dropped a CD in and quite pleased with the sound for a CD. It's something I haven't listened too in a loooong time. I own about a dozen CDs but close to 400 vinyl (Judas Priest isn't Judas Priest on CD imo) and when I put the first album on it's divine. Breathtakingly beautiful. The sound is spot on, and these shows capture the Ramones intimately.

This may be strange but it brought tears to my eyes. This is a literal time capsule capturing one of the most influential bands in history doing what they did best and dedicated large parts of their lives too. I am thankful and grateful for their music as it is a true gift.

I meant this to be short. If you are on the fence about purchasing this and your a fan you will not be disappointed. I could gush on about the amazing book and story it contains but maybe another day. Get this while you can.

The Brothers Ramone at their absolute peak, a stunning package, vinyl is faultless and the complete gigs on CD are fabby. I loved this band before I'd heard a note. Bought the 1st album in the late lamented Phoenix Records on release day, I got this at an excellent price which makes it all the better. YOU NEED THIS ALBUM.
