Ever boot from this era that was recorded their is excellent, Television, Elvis Costello, Richard Hell, and a couple others i can't recall right now. Anyone know a the history of the place? Reminds me of the club I worked at in Seattle as a kid, The Showbox it had been around since the 40's changed hands multiple times then in the late 70's a friend of my brothers started doing shows there. Any ways More Ramones is never a problem the more people you turn on to these excellent boots the better, '79-'80 are my personal favorite years as far as live shows go.

A lot of the songs actually sound better than they do on the original albums, and it's definitely one of those "desert island" discs for me -- especially the remastered version that came out awhile back. <br /><br />Annnyway: love the live stuff you're putting up (esp. the Ramones!) and would definitely like to hear more. <br /><br />Also: RapidShare works great for me!!!DefChefnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-45922657270981864922012-06-13T06:15:40.345-05:002012-06-13T06:15:40.345-05:00As said by convertido - first three were most cons...As said by convertido - first three were most consistent but peak has got to be It's Alive.

They could never surpass that trilogy.<br /><br />I only saw them once (Brighton Top Rank 1985)and they were excellent. However, I think they became their own tribute band towards the end and "Loco live" is crap by their standards.<br /><br />It's tragic that they were not more fully appreciated in their lifetimes. If they were alive now they would clean up the festival circuit in Europe.Shaunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4191686244361274747.post-77923822920810670202012-06-12T15:33:35.573-05:002012-06-12T15:33:35.573-05:00Thanks for the download..........i have an hour le...Thanks for the download..........i have an hour left to go to hear it.....rapidshare, indeed. lol.
