Punkrock History

27 years ago today, an era came to an end

The Ramones never let up and gave their best every time they took the stage for over 20 years. It all ended on August 6, 1996 at the Palace in Hollywood, after 2,263 shows the Boyz had their last performance.

@historyofpunkrock I wish I had gotten to hear them but they weren't the same band as the one I first heard on LP in 1979.
I only saw a few punk shows live ever: In the earlyish 80s I would go over to San Francisco from where I lived in Oakland and try to hit both more mainstream music at the Stone on Broadway and then more punk oriented music at the Mabuhay Gardens across the street on the same night, if I could. I only remember one band name of all I ever saw. I had to take public transit home, and I would crawl into to bed around 4:00 a.m., exhausted but happy.
