Product description

RAMONES IT`S ALIVE

Amazon.com

When the Ramones left the confines of CBGB's in 1976--where they had developed their earmark three-chord speed delivery--and took the show on the road to England, they set the punk-rock juggernaut rolling. It can't be stressed enough how influential these boys from Forest Hills, Queens, were on Britain's emerging punk-rock scene, but a few seconds into It's Alive and it's easy to tell why. It's Alive captures the phenomena of the Ramones at their peak and in their element: live and sweaty.

You've barely blinked before you realize that the first half-dozen songs have already raced past, their backdraft sucking the oxygen out of your lungs. "Rockaway Beach," "Teenage Lobotomy," "Blitzkrieg Bop," and "I Wanna Be Well" practically melt together in a three-chord melange, Tommy never letting up on the frantic beat and Joey pausing barely long enough to breathlessly shout, "Onetwothreefour!" before launching into the next set. The longest song here clocks in well short of three minutes, and many are hardly longer than one. Twenty-eight songs clock in under 48 minutes. Talk about a land-speed record. No subtleties of production or tweaking are needed here to capture the Ramones' live sound. Plug 'em in, turn everything up to 10, and let it rip. The sound of the manic crowd is practically organic. It's Alive is not just the best Ramones album, it is easily the best live punk-rock album of all time, and perhaps one of the best live albums ever set to wax. --Tod Nelson

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 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 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.

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.

El vinyl conserva el propósito de una grabación capturada en su tiempo para escucharse en este formato. La presentación es hermosa y la fidelidad excelente. Extrañaba recuperar este clásico y lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Edition 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition avec 4 concerts CD de la tournée in England (en ripant les CD's en fichiers FLAC 24b/192 Khz j'ai tout remis dans l'ordre chronologique des concert Disc 01 28-12-77, Disc 02 29-12-1977, Disc 03 30-12-1977 et pour finir en apothéose Disc 04 celui du 31-12-1977 en fait seul remasterisé)
Découvert les Ramones en 1976 avec leur premier album j'ai aimé leur période punk de 1976 à 1977 après c'est plus "pop" si on peut dire, ce sont avec Les Stooges en 69-70, les New York Dolls en 73 les précurseurs du punk, car contrairement à la légende le punk est né au USA et non in England en 1976-1977 avec les Sex Pistols même si leur unique album est devenu un cri de rage pour toute une génération anglaise en panne d'espérance "I Don't Know What I Want But I Know How To Get It" hurlaient les Sex Pistol dans "Anarchy In The UK) si ma mémoire est bonne
Le son des 3 concerts inédits excellents et pour finir en beauté super remastérisation du concert du 31-12-1977 par rapport à l'édition européenne que j'avais avec le concert de 28 morceaux complet
Pour moi les Ramones sont les fils illégitimes de BB non pas notre Brigitte Bardot nationale mais des Beach Boys qui auraient mis un jour laissé leurs sales gosses mettre par inadvertance les doigts dans la prise écoutez leur version de "California Sun" pour vous en convaincre et depuis la musique des Ramones défrise comme un choc électrique sans autre but, ni prétention que de vous faire danser et c'est déjà très bien sans message subliminal ni ultra intellectuel caché dans des paroles sataniques ou autres "Glad To See You Go" en est un parfait exemple tout comme Pinhead avec son célèbrissime Gabba Gabba Hey on cherche toujours le message subliminal
Les Ramones avaient du plaisir de ce retrouver là pour cette tournée anglaise de fin 1977 et ils nous le font amplement partager, chaussez vos baskets ça va guincher dans les chaumières, sans temps mort entre les morceaux alors préparez-vous pour 53 minutes de pogo et si la setlist est identique pour les 4 concerts avec en supplément "Judy Is A Punk" pour le dernier concert de la tournée, WHO'S CARE (play maximum volume) comme on disait à l'époque and enjoy
