The RAMONES - Live 1978 (The Old Grey Whistle Test) - Don't Come Close, She's The One, Go Mental

[@userseleven5047]

Don't come close makes me crave for something I can't explain

[@Livedthe70s]

Dee Dee plays an incredible bass on Don’t Come Close. Still to this day the coolest band in the world.

[@RiccoHavocco]

Ya he’s in the pocket like a mofo!

[@xStabizorz]

The little fills are great

[@andchat6241]

Certainly the last great (punk)Rock n Roll group .....but with a lanky short sighted singer , a replacement drummer -Marky ,who always looked in pain & a selection of bad haircuts they certainly were not 'Cool' ... But ultimately it's down to the songs - & Ramones had plenty of good ones .

[@xStabizorz]

@@andchat6241 arguably the worst collection of haircuts ever

[@garynorred4643]

Good stuff right here. 1978 was the first of many times seeing the Ramones live. Man, the memories ...

[@philmalley7888]

I saw Ramones live in 1987, how great well its- hard to say but very special.

[@rcgsimons]

My first concert at 15 years old. The show was free, the sun was out, girls in polka dot skirts were hopping up and down, and the Ramones played their incendiary rock n roll punk. I was God smacked!

[@LordOfTheThreeWorlds]

It's just insane how tight these guys were.

[@nicolasm.orellana4177]

Road to Ruin its my favorite album, and Mondo Bizarro y Ramones 1976

[@musicfan1086]

Look at Go Mental at Johnnys downstroking, so furious and fast I can feel the pain In my wrist watching it

[@hansjavis5854]

Goddamn. Johnny and Dee Dee play so simply, but there has been nothing like them and their playing has its own sound, it’s impossible to recreate.

[@Zopf-international]

Go Mental is a super polished musical machine operating at perfect speed.

[@pcramon]

Missed this on the first showing of OGWT 1978 as I was returning from the actual show at Newcastle City Hall, then missed the Saturday repeat. So frustrating when folk were asking me if I caught the Ramones on UK TV back then. Wasn’t until about 15 years later I had it on a horrendous quality VHS bootleg tape. Praise the Lord for KZbin.

[@atsunorismith66]

Johnny’s guitar on She’s the One is fanatical!

[@davidnino4623]

Ahí los ramones se zarpaban pero Johnny Ramone le da el sonido del Rock and Roll para todas las generaciones.

[@gmantramp404]

This version of Don't Come Close beats the non punky disappointing album filler version hands down 🤘🤘

[@deaddogproductions7363]

Thank you. They took this off KZbin years ago. 🖤

[@HardlyRamone]

Yeah, that's why I put it back up... a real shame to lose this one

Ha ha, Johnny made a mistake at 3:21. He's supposed to stay at G. I always make the same mistake in that song!

Yup, lol. You don't often see Johnny grab the wrong chord, but it's really easy to do that in this song

[@LarryBishop69]

This show was predominately prog rock and beardies 🤮🤮every now and then they had to put punks on it . Bob Harris the presenter always resented bands he didn’t like on there (funny) I watched this back in the day when we lived in Surbiton south London. First time I’d seen The Ramones.

[@DavidStaniforth]

I put my tape recorder by the telly and taped this when it came on back then in 1978 . I had the cassette for years. Saw the Ramones that year at the free trade Hall in Manchester and was probably best gig I ever saw .
