A tragically ironic name considering the majority of the original band have since passed.
Anyway, this cd is an hour long bust of energy that does not let you go. Although their songs may lack originality after a while they are each brilliant on their own. For all you Punks that think greenday was the real thing (or even people believing the sex pistols to have started it all) the Ramones were punk before it even existed. Their limitless energy, over the top performance and trashy 3 chord 4/4 rock amount to one of the original punk / rock and roll bands.
For fans there are all the favourites, Blitzkrieg bop, Judy is a punk, Rockaway beach, Sheena is a punk rocker etc played live and furiously. The Ramones are a band that is definitely at its best when playing live.
Originaliy - both Groundbreaking and Completely unoriginal. Valus For money - i manages to pick it up for a fiver.

Called "It's Alive" cos it was released about 25 years ago, when Da Brudders still were all alive....this is one of the most famous live albums ever made.
