The Ramones - It's Alive 1974-1996 DVD

[atomic23]

Can't praise this DVD enough. A 2 disc collection of live footage and television appearances featuring many BBC performances.
includes
Don't Come Close/She's The One/Go Mental (Old Grey Whistle Test 19/9/78) with Annie Nightingale outro
Don't Come Close (Top Of The Pops 28/9/78) with DLT intro and outro
Rock 'n' Roll High School/Do You Remember Rock 'n' Roll Radio (Old Grey Whistle Test 15/1/80) with Annie Nightingale intro and outro
Baby I Love You (Top Of The Pops 31/1/80) with Peter Powell intro and David Jenson outro
Wart Hog/Chasing The Night (Old Grey Whistle Test 26/2/85)
I Don't Wanna Grow Up (Top Of The Pops 29/6/95) with Mark Goodier intro
on top of that...
you also get 4 tracks from USTV's Don Kirshner's Rock Concert in 1977, mega rare 1977 USTV performances of 'Swallow My Pride', 'Pinhead' and 'Sheena Is A Punk Rocker', 14 tracks from the legendary Rainbow Theatre concert on New Years Eve 1977, the (almost) full Musikladen concert from 1978, plus heaps more.
A fantastic collection for any Ramones fan.

Its a decent collection but why is the edited version of Musikladen used when the full version is available in DVD quality and the interview from OGWT is also missing, when they were on TOTP in 95 they did more one track, three tracks if I rememeber rightly.
The DKRC is by no means mega rare, its been mega common in perfect quality for many years and in full, should take any fan a minute ot two too locate a bootleg but perfect full DVD quality version via Google. It would have been a fantastic collection if they had let a collector who knew his stuff get involved.
I love when Record Collector etc review these archive DVD collection and say stuff like "Ultra rare unreleased material" this gives away the fact that the reviewer does not know his stuff
