Marky Ramone, 1979.

Here‘s Marky working hard under the warm California Sun, June 8, 1979.

The Ramones had spent the past seven months filming „Rock‘n‘Roll Highschool“, touring and recording with Phil Spector - one of Marky‘s heroes, who - with time and after many shared glasses of Manischewitz w**e - turned into a good friend.

In his book „Blitzkrieg“, Marky remembers:

„I would drink after the shoot (of Rock’n’Roll Highschool“) to wind down. My two main drinking buddies were Dee Dee and Phil Spector. But I could drink with only one at a time. Phil didn’t like Dee Dee. He was all over the place and made Phil nervous. Phil was already nervous enough as it was.

Phil liked to talk to me and Joey about music and anything related to it. I had just met Phil myself, but we hit it off. We had a sort of Bronx– Brooklyn crosstown mutual respect. We both hated bu****it – giving and receiving. And I loved the girl groups, the Beatles stuff, and just about everything Phil Spector had anything to do with.

The Ramones were getting scale for the movie, but there were big perks: free rooms, all we could eat and drink, and royalties on the soundtrack. For me, the biggest perk of all was working and hanging out with a legend.“

Johnny Ramone, 1979.

Another good one from the Ramones‘ open air show at San Francisco‘s Civic Center, June 8, 1979.

This was the first live performance of the Ramones after a nerve wrecking five weeks in Los Angeles, recording „End Of The Century“ with Phil Spector.

In his autobiography „Commando“ Johnny remembers:
„After a couple of days, I reached the breaking point. (Spector) had me play the opening chord to „Rock’n‘ Roll High School“ over and over. This went on for three or four hours. He’d listen back to it, then ask me to play the same chord again (…) I couldn’t take it anymore.

So I just said, I’m leaving,“ and Phil said, „You’re not going anywhere.“ I said, „What are you gonna do, Phil, shoot me?“ If he had, I wouldn’t even have given a s**t at that point. I just wanted to get out of there (…) After he shot that girl, I thought, „I’m surprised that he didn’t shoot someone every year.“

Dee Dee Ramone, 1978.

Here‘s Dee Dee talking to the press after a Ramones show at the Old Waldorf in San Francisco, January 30, 1978.

Dee Dee is wearing a shirt from „Chatterbox“, a fanzine from Seattle, founded by Lee Lumsden. „Chatterbox“ included original poetry, artwork and a wide variety of music: Lou Reed, Bowie, Slade and bands from the local Punk scene.

The first issue was published in early 1976. Editorial staff included Tomata Du Plenty of The Tupperwares, future singer of The Screamers.

In 1977, Lumsden put on the first Ramones live appearance in Seattle at the Olympic Hotel. His band The Meyce opened the show.

Johnny Ramone & John Lydon, 1981.

Here‘s Johnny Ramone and PIL frontman John Lydon, also known as Johnny Rotten, former singer of the S*x Pistols.

The two had met various times before. First when the Ramones played in London in July 1976, and then again at the Roundhouse in June 1977 - aka the infamous „Piss“ incident, when the Ramones handed Rotten a cup of b**r with a shot of urine.

Seeing the two here in 1981 is a surprise, as Johnny Ramone hardly left the house when he was off tour, let alone to watch the performance of a former S*x Pistol.

Then again, he got to witness PIL‘s legendary „Riot At The Ritz“ show: PIL fans had waited hours in the rain, grew angry at the lack of a traditional live experience, as the band performed behind a giant video screen, and started throwing bottles after Lydon had taunted them: „Sil-ly f**k-ing aud-ience, sil-ly f**k-ing aud-ience“.

The show was ended by staff members of The Ritz. The second night of the residency was cancelled.

The Ramones had returned to Europe to promote their latest album „Pleasant Dreams“. The band‘s art director Arturo Vega brought a special gift for the English fans: An exclusive tour shirt, with the logo on the front and the title of the album‘s first single, „We Want The Airwaves“, on the back.
