Editorial Reviews

Raw and rip-roaring live album by trio featuring Dee Dee and Marky Ramone covering many familiar punk anthems as well as a few unreleased tracks. No overdubs were added to the recording, making the listening experience as sweaty and energetic as the live experience. 21 tracks, all recorded at the Continental in New York City. 1999 release.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE RAMAINZ CARRY ON THE RAMONES LEGACY, October 1, 1999

By 

Jim Peoples (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live in N.Y.C. (Audio CD)

The Ramainz, (Marky Ramone, Dee Dee Ramone, and Dee Dee's wife Barbara Zampini) are a much-needed fix for those lamenting the Ramones retirement. "Live in N.Y.C." is loud and raw, featuring 19 classic Ramones songs and 2 Ramainz originals. Dee Dee and Barbara share the vocals, and unlike the Ramones, the songs are not played at break-neck speed. It is refreshing to hear these songs at original studio version tempos. This album is definitely a "must-have" for Ramones fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dee Dee Ramone Saves Civilization - Again!, December 31, 1999

By 

Lyle C. Belkin (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Live in N.Y.C. (Audio CD)

It is no exaggeration to state that Dee Dee Ramone is the greatest poet/songwriter since the demise of Buddy Holly, the Fugs, and McCartney/Lennon. How he and the Ramones were denied a wider audience by the gangsters who run the music business and possibly our governments is one of those unsolvable, possibly dangerous mysteries, like who killed JFK. If you have somehow stumbled upon this review in complete innocence, then slowly turn around in your chair, close your door, draw the shades shut, make sure your phone line isn't being tapped, and order this album. When your precious bundle arrives, there will be revealed to you a style of rock music of such sublime beauty and raw power that it apparently had to be suppressed. But Dee Dee labours on like a mythic hero, seemingly strengthened by adversity. Do not forsake him. This album is also essential for long time Ramones fans. Dee Dee plays the songs a little slower than the Ramones on their later live recordings, and this turns out to be a major improvement. The beauty of the melodies is allowed to catch hold, and the songs actually seem even more powerful when they are slowed down slightly. Also, Barbara Ramone (Dee Dee's wife) sings on several tracks, and her voice adds an interesting and unexpected dimension to familiar songs. In short, this is album is a jewel, and my only suggestion is that it be followed by a live album of Dee Dee's solo material.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's nice to be here again to the Continental Divide., June 5, 2006

This review is from: Live in N.Y.C. (Audio CD)

This live album features Dee Dee Ramone, Marky Ramone and Barbara Ramone. Dee Dee plays guitar, Marky plays drums and Barbara plays bass. Vocals are split between Dee Dee and Barbara, with Dee Dee singing about two-thirds of the songs. The material consists of old Ramones songs, with the exception of two songs from Dee Dee's solo album called Hop Around. The material is well played and sounds almost as good as an actual Ramones concert. Ramones fans should enjoy it, especially if Dee Dee was your favorite Ramone.
