#knowyourroots The Ramones made their first appearance at CBGB on this day in 1974 Judy Is A Punk - The Ramones CBGB 1974 #punkrockhistory

@CUTTERZINE I still can’t believe this was caught on film. I mean 1974! Do you remember what mainstream music was like back then?! Utter hell!

Great video! Pre all black leather. They look so young! And this is when the bathrooms were behind the stage to the right before they moved them downstairs and they attained their legendary status!

tremendous footage thanks

1974!! Can see the New York Dolls influence ✊

1974. Even more incredible when you consider this song, “The Night Chicago Died”, by Paper Lace was the number 1 song in the country.

I hope this video is in their hall of fame exhibit. Revolutionary.

1974... hey go! let go!

😍

For their first show and so many claimed they sounded terrible, to me they sounded just fine.
