With all the original members dead and all the albums canonized in box sets, deluxe editions, etc., etc., it's hard to imagine what their impact must have been when they were new. But imagine living in Kansas City in 1978 and that band comes through town. It would have been life-altering.

Oh, this is actual Kansas City! I just looked at the youtube title and assumed it was Max's Kansas City.

just in case people didn't know, there's a great 26 minute Live At The Rainbow 1977 video on YouTube too, from the It's Alive concert

the start of that is too camera flip heavy + some shots are reused but it gets better

Man, I got to get that Ramones DVD set now. Just looking at the tracklist makes me drool.

Saw a little something interesting on a certain substack yesterday, assuming TSF saw it as well.

Ramones and Dr Feelgood would have been fun. I didn't see Ramones till 79

So great. Thanks.

You see that and you wonder why the Ramones weren’t big stars right away in the US. I think it was down to the radio formatting at the time.

Force of nature. That's why It's Alive! is my favorite Ramones album, it's like a freight train.

that "all downstrokes" rule was punishing.

Did you subject yourself to that rule at any point, TSF?

only long enough to prove to myself those guys were crazy.

There are other situations where people do it, but maybe not ever single bar(re) of every single song.
