Whether you’re a die hard fan or getting into the punk scene of the late 70s through now, The Ramones are one of the godfathers of rock. Here, It’s Alive 1974-1996 follows them from beginning to end with all their rocky moments in between. While a Ramones DVD is not a rare thing, as several have come out on the band and individual band members in the last 10 years that have documented them quite well, this is still one DVD worth adding to your collection.
Featuring rare, unreleased and historic performances of The Ramones compiled with help from Ramones drummer Tommy Ramone, this DVD will likely entice the die-hard fan. Featuring early performances from CBGB’s and Max’s Kansas City to stadium and festival performances from around the world, It’s Alive 1974-1996 takes a look at what made the Ramones great, their music and stage performance. Hearing them rip through a set of two minute songs in 20 minutes is one thing, but seeing them on stage doing it is another. How’d they get their stage presence and a name for themselves? This two disc DVD will show you how, as it’s not only a document of their greatness but shows how they developed their stage presence and antics to the development of their unique sound. While there are interviews and music videos, this DVD is worth watching to get a glimpse of what a real legendary punk band was like. For anyone in a band or contemplating being in one, watch this and learn from the masters! |
