Here is a soundboard recording from the Ramones' US tour supporting their debut album, captured at "The Club" in Cambridge—a venue that also hosted acts like Tuff Darts and Talking Heads. It offers a superb listening experience where you can feel the electrifying intensity and raw spirit unique to a small venue, capturing the "passionate fury" of the original Ramones lineup. You can also enjoy tracks that would appear on their second album, *Leave Home*. This is a truly valuable early recording from their breakout tour, documenting the band as they ramped up activity after establishing CBGB as their home base. By this time, Tommy Ramone’s drumming had become even tighter, developing a swing feel that really drove the groove—a performance that will satisfy fans of both the Marky and Tommy eras. Personal highlights include the sequence from "Havana Affair" into "California Sun," and the run from "Oh Oh I Love Her So" into "Commando." It closes with the familiar Chris Montez cover, making it the kind of album you’ll want to play on repeat.
