R-A-M-O-N-E-S,
By
This review is from: The Ramones - Greatest Hits Live (Audio CD)
"Greatest Hits Live"? Uh, they didn't actually have any hits. Don't get me wrong, I love these guys, but it's a pretty silly title for the album. Anyway, this album was recorded live during the Ramones farewell tour, on 2/29/96(Leap day!) in New York City. Unfortunately, only about half the show is included here. On the plus side, several of the songs here are from their last studio album, so these are the first live versions of those songs. It's a typical, solid Ramones concert. There are also two bonus studio tracks included. They are covers of Motorhead's "R.A.M.O.N.E.S." and The Dave Clark Five's "Any Way You Want It". I happen to like both of them a lot. This is not an essential Ramones CD by any means, but their hardcore fans will want to get it. For the curious, here is the coplete set list of the 2/29/96 concert:1.Durango 95

What is SO bad about this live album?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ramones - Greatest Hits Live (Audio CD)
Okay, so this album doesn't have the best choice of songs on Earth (which is why I only gave it four stars). But what is wrong with the music? I mean.. turn up "We're a happy family" to 10 and tell me that this album is no good? Oh please! This is a perfectly good album.. you know.. I really enjoy this album more than 99% of the albums in my collection. The fact is.. you can point out the faults about anything.. but.. this album has more good points than bad. It's fast and fun. Isn't that what the Ramones were meant to be about? Buy now and thank yourself later.

a solid album,
By Jizo43 (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ramones - Greatest Hits Live (Audio CD)
Been a Ramones fan for decades saw them numerous times in the 70's, 80's and their last tour. This is simply a great album for what it is. I loved "spiderman", Joey was born to sing it. This cd is worth it's weight in gold just for that song alone. Some Ramones' collections are just too long, unlike the original albums, so it's nice to throw in the cd player this disc, hear some great songs in a digestable fashion. The Ramones weren't about overkill, that just wanted to knock you down right away! This album also really shows how tight these guys were live. Definitely get it.
