This anthology showcases three incendiary live to air performances by the Ramones, spanning the years 1977 to 1981.
Just weeks after releasing their Phil Spector-produced fourth album, End of the Century, the Ramones touched down in Paris to record a showcase set for France’s flagship music TV show of the time, Chorus TV.

Side Two showcases the band’s appearance on Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert, on 9 August 1977, in its entirety. In addition, the final track is taken from the Ramones’ appearance on the Tomorrow Show, recorded in New York, on 9 January 1981.
Here, the New York punk icons rip through twenty-three of their most iconic songs including Blitzkrieg Bop, I Wanna Be Sedated, Sheena Is a Punk Rocker, Beat on the Brat, Rockaway Beach, The KKK Took My Baby Away, Judy Is a Punk, Do You Remember Rock ’n’ Roll Radio?, Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment and more.
