Ramones celebrate 50th anniversary of first CBGB show
Rhino announces Ramones-themed ferry rides to Rockaway Beach, limited edition record pressings & more. Fifty years ago today, on August 16th, 1974, the Ramones played their first-ever show at New York City’s CBGB & OMFUG. While the very first Ramones gig was March 30th, 1974 – with Joey on drums, Dee Dee on lead vocals and bass, Johnny on guitar, and Tommy doing management duties – August 16th marked the debut Ramones performance to feature all four members on-stage together. From punk to pop culture, music and style were never the same once they hit the scene. But it was from that hallowed club on the Bowery where the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers’ revolution began. Clad in leather jackets, tattered tight jeans, and an aura of unprecedented cool, four natives of Forest Hills, Queens declared their downtown dominance, counting off their set with the soon-to-be-iconic shout of “one, two, three, four.”
