Product description

"It's Alive," the third live album by the legendary punk band Ramones, captures the raw energy and rebellious spirit of their iconic 1979 performance at the Rainbow Theatre in London. Released on April 29, 1979, under Rhino/Warner Records, this album is a high-octane journey through the band's most celebrated tracks, showcasing their signature blend of punk and proto-punk styles. With a runtime of just over 53 minutes, "It's Alive" is a testament to the Ramones' enduring influence on the punk rock genre.

The album features a dynamic setlist, including fan favorites like "Rockaway Beach," "Teenage Lobotomy," and "Blitzkrieg Bop," as well as deep cuts that highlight the band's versatility and songwriting prowess. Tracks like "Glad to See You Go" and "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" showcase the Ramones' knack for crafting catchy, anthemic tunes that resonate with audiences. Meanwhile, songs like "Chainsaw" and "Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World" delve into darker, more aggressive territory, demonstrating the band's range and depth.

Throughout the album, the Ramones' live performance is electric, with tight, punchy instrumentation and the band's signature harmonies driving each track. Johnny Ramone's driving guitar riffs, Joey Ramone's powerful vocals, Dee Dee Ramone's basslines, and Marky Ramone's drumming come together to create a sound that is both timeless and revolutionary.

"It's Alive" is not just a live album; it's a snapshot of a pivotal moment in punk history, capturing the Ramones at the height of their powers. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to the band's music, this album offers a thrilling introduction to the world of the Ramones and their enduring legacy.

This 2025 Reissue 2LP set is housed in a gatefold.

  • Silent and Worth It

    4 out of 5 stars
    Bet_N__lJanuary 9, 2026United States🇺🇸

    I've got a super well-pressed version that's completely silent. I'd definitely say go for it, this is a steal at this price!

  • Guitars Shine, Bass Lacks

    5 out of 5 stars
    golkshhK49September 5, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This pressing is absolutely amazing, with guitars that are crisp and punchy and Joey's vocals really standing out. It's a tad weak in the bass department, but that's just a problem with the original recording. It's a real bummer because Dee Dee's bass work is fantastic and it really should be given its due.

  • Ramones Live Re-release Rocks

    5 out of 5 stars
    HYeToJuly 26, 2025United Kingdom🇬🇧

    This re-release packs a powerful punch, and I must say, I was genuinely surprised to find that both 12-inch records are colored. The main focus here is clearly on capturing the live music experience, and they've nailed it with a fantastic balance. The only minor issue is that the audience noise in the background sometimes sounds a bit digitally compressed. But don't worry, it's only noticeable a few times, for just a couple of seconds each. Apart from that, it's full-throttle Ramones all the way, no time to catch your breath!

  • Ramones Live Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    Vegi-yutqooJuly 9, 2025United States🇺🇸

    INCREDIBLE REISSUE!!! If you're planning to purchase just one Ramones record, make it this one. This might just be the greatest live album by any band, ever. A full concert spread across 2 LP's with the guys delivering their signature sound - loud, speedy rock 'n' roll like only they can. Starting with Rockaway Beach and ending with We're A Happy Family, they only ease up a bit for Here Today, Gone Tomorrow. Even after all these years, the raw energy and adrenaline of a Ramones show still blows your mind.

  • Ramones Live Bass Issue

    4 out of 5 stars
    LavaHekaJuly 7, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Live performances are the only way I truly appreciate the Ramones, but this recording lacks bass. It's almost as if the bass amp was switched off. Apart from that, it's an amazing album.

About Ramones

The Ramones, hailing from Forest Hills, Queens, New York, are legendary figures in the punk rock scene, often hailed as the first true punk rock band.

Their raw, energetic sound and rebellious attitude left an indelible mark on the music industry, influencing countless bands and shaping the punk genre. Despite never achieving massive commercial success, the Ramones' impact is immeasurable, making them a cornerstone of punk culture. Their debut album, simply titled "Ramones," serves as a musical manifesto, a raging reaction against the soft rock and disco of their time. The Ramones' legacy endures, celebrated for their loud, hard, and relentless approach to music, making them a timeless influence in the world of rock.
