Amazon.com Single-mindedness is not frequently considered an asset in rock & roll, but it's all the Ramones have going for them, and they've certainly made it work over the years. Pile-driving rhythms, ear-shattering volume, a stack of great songs, and those hilarious "one-two-three-four" count-offs--that's pretty much the m.o. of every Ramones show. Greatest Hits Live offers no real surprises, then, but something you wouldn't really expect from a punk band--nostalgia. The group runs through 16 songs recorded live in about twice as many minutes, including "I Wanna Be Sedated," "Beat on the Brat," the "Spider Man" theme, and "Pet Sematary" (which, at three and a half minutes could be considered a jam-type tune for the Ramones). Two studio tracks, the self-congratulatory "R.A.M.O.N.E.S." and "Any Way You Want It" (alas, not the Journey song), don't add much to the discussion. --Daniel Durchholz Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsR-A-M-O-N-E-S Johnny Heering | Bethel, CT United States | 05/19/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) ""Greatest Hits Live"? Uh, they didn't actually have any hits. Don't get me wrong, I love these guys, but it's a pretty silly title for the album. Anyway, this album was recorded live during the Ramones farewell tour, on 2/29/96(Leap day!) in New York City. Unfortunately, only about half the show is included here. On the plus side, several of the songs here are from their last studio album, so these are the first live versions of those songs. It's a typical, solid Ramones concert. There are also two bonus studio tracks included. They are covers of Motorhead's "R.A.M.O.N.E.S." and The Dave Clark Five's "Any Way You Want It". I happen to like both of them a lot. This is not an essential Ramones CD by any means, but their hardcore fans will want to get it. For the curious, here is the coplete set list of the 2/29/96 concert:1.Durango 95 2.Teenage Lobotomy 3.Psycho Therapy 4.Blizkrieg Bop 5.Do You Remember Rock'N'Roll Radio 6.I Believe in Miracles 7.Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment 8.Rock'N'Roll High School 9.I Wanna Be Sedated 10.Spider-Man 11.The KKK Took My Baby Away 12.I Don't Want To Grow Up 13.Commando 14.Sheena Is A Punk Rocker 15.Rockaway Beach 16.Pet Sematary 17.Strength to Endure 18.Cretin Family 19.Do you Wanna Dance? 20.Somebody Put Something In my Drink 21.California Sun 22.Wart Hog 23.Cretin Hop 24.R.A.M.O.N.E.S 25.Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World 26.Pinhead 27.The Crusher 28.I Just Want To Have Something To Do 29.We're a Happy Family 30.Anyway You Want It 31.53rd And 3rd 32.Beat On The Brat 33.Love Kills 34.Chinese Rocks 35.Havana Affair" Ya wanna know why I'm the first one to write about thisdisc? Johnny Heering | 05/11/1999 (2 out of 5 stars) "It's because it's a totally redundant contract-filler. The songs aren't the problem; it's the lack of excitement. Joey even sounds kinda bored... well, make that more bored than usual. What a drag. Makes the competent LOCO LIVE album look like a masterpiece in comparison (tho' IT'S ALIVE still stands as the true classic, and one of the best live rock albums of all time). Leave this alone... for completists only. (Guilty!)" I was there The Pirate | Regina, Saskatchewan Canada | 05/02/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This show was great, I was there and it was the best Ramones show I ever saw. Its just to bad so many tunes did not make it on."
