Loved the enthusiasm and the review (just finished the set myself), but I have to point out there are no complete concert performances on this set. Even the Rainbow Theater show (the set's longest grouping of songs) has only half of the original live album's 28 tracks.

So you can understand then Mat, that if the Ramones were that loud in the back of an outdoor stadium (or even an ampitheatre) -- it was downright painful witnessing that in a room no larger than your standard corner tavern. Painful, but also exhilarating for a twenty year old rocker dude all jacked up on beer and testosterone. Back then, it was loose women, cold beer, and punk rock for me. Ahh memories... -Glen

I never caught the ramones live, but my brother did back in the mid-90s. He saw them at some bit outdoor venue in Texas opening for Pearl Jam. He said he sat way in the back but even at that space it was WAAAAAY too loud! I still kick myself for not going.

Maybe, Skeet. Followed by a spirited "1-2-3-4!!" no doubt... -Glen P.S. By the way I liked Too Tough To Die too...I especially loved Dee Dee's song "Endless Vacation."

Glen - sure, End of the Century is underrated, but of those later records don't forget Too Tough to Die - maybe their last real kick at the cat. After that - autopilot - as Johnny hmself once said, maybe there should be a mandatory retirement age for rock and rollers. Man, I haven't pulled out my Ramones vinyl for a good long while - maybe tonight when I have time.
