Ramones - The Final Tour (2017)

THE BRUVVERS IN CONCERT ON THEIR LAST HURRAH IN 1996 The Ramones final ever concert took place on 6th August 1996 at The Palace in Hollywood. Featuring a guest appearance from Pearl Jam s Eddie Vedder, the legendary Long Island group - who had spearheaded US Punk 20 years before - performed a gig as dynamic as any they had ever played. Five months before this event, on 16th March 96, the Ramones played a farewell concert to 45,000 fans in Buenos Aires, home to the group s largest and most fervent fan base in any city worldwide. Performed at the River Plate Stadium, the show was opened by none other than Iggy Pop, perhaps illustrating the huge appeal of the bruvvers in the capital city of the world s largest Spanish-speaking nation. This CD features the full performance of what turned out to be the Ramones final show outside the USA, as recorded for FM Broadcast and transmitted across Argentina, and synched too across many stations in the US. As a delightful bonus, also included is the very final number the band ever played in concert as an encore at their 6th August gig - a version of the Dave Clarke Five s foot stomper Any Way You Want Me - featuring the aforementioned Eddie Vedder on backing vocals.
