Ramones - Eaten Alive Utica, NY 1977 LP

NEW. SEALED.

Radio Silence Records

RARE BROADCAST FROM THE RAMONES DEFINING ERA They formed in 1974, made their first album in 1976 and in 1996, after a tour with the Lollapalooza music festival, the band played a farewell concert and disbanded. By 2014, all of the band's original four members - lead singer Joey Ramone (1951 2001), guitarist Johnny Ramone (1948 2004), bassist Dee Dee Ramone (1952 2002) and drummer Tommy Ramone (1949 2014) - had passed away. They performed 2,263 concerts across 22 years, made 14 studio and 4 live albums and were about as perfect a rock band as any could be. Recognition of the band's importance has built exponentially over the years, and they are now mentioned in every serious assessment of all-time great rock music, such as the Rolling Stone list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" and VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". In 2002 the Ramones were ranked the second-greatest band of all time by Spin magazine, trailing only the Beatles. On March 18, 2002, the original four members and Tommy's replacement on drums, Marky Ramone, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2011, the group was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. But 1976 and 1977, the years of punk in the US and UK, was the group s finest era. And it was towards the end of this era that the show represented on this CD was performed. A live broadcast on FM radio, this recording features perfect sound quality and includes live versions of cuts from the groups first four records, all released between 1976 & 1978 - along with a couple of choice covers, with which all fine Ramones gigs were graced. A wonderful reminder of what a groundbreaking and pivotal 1970s group The Ramones were, this album acts too as a celebration of the 40 year anniversary of the group coming together in Queens, New York, when Dee Dee convinced the other original members that his chosen group name - inspired by the pseudonym Paul McCartney had used when booking into hotels in The Beatles early days - was a perfect moniker. How right he turned out to be!
