The Ramones may not have invented punk rock, but they were the first band to create a definitive working model of its sound and style, and their high-speed blast of down-stroked guitars, pounding drums and lyrics about pinheads, sniffing glue, and watching TV influenced literally thousands of bands around the world. The Ramones: It's Alive 1974-1996 is an epic-length celebration of the Ramones on-stage, featuring excerpts from 33 different concerts and television performances by the band, ranging from a 1974 set at CBGB only a few months after they started playing in public to a massive concert in Argentina five months before the veteran punks finally called it quits in August 1996. Songs include "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Rockaway Beach," "Pinhead," "Rock and Roll High School," "I Wanna Be Sedated," "The KKK Took My Baby Away," "Do You Remember Rock and Roll Radio," "Psycho Therapy," "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg," "I Don't Want to Grow Up" and many, many more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
