Recorded in London at the Rainbow Theatre on
New Year's Eve 1977 and released as a double album in 1979, It's Alive delivered a
blistering barrage of live takes on classic tracks from the Ramones' first three albums. Taking its name from
the 1974 horror film, It's Alive was the last album to feature all four
original band members: Dee Dee Ramone, Joey Ramone, Johnny Ramone and Tommy Ramone. Among the numerous highlights are
electrifying live versions of "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Now I Wanna
Sniff Some Glue" and "I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You"
from Ramones (1976),
"Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment," "California Sun" and
"Pinhead" from Leave Home (1977)
and "Cretin Hop," "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" and
"Rockaway Beach" from Rocket to Russia (1977).
