Rating: 5 out of 5Marky Ramone at House of Blues San Diego
by ElSid2025 on 2/28/24House of Blues San Diego - San DiegoMarky Ramone put on an authentic Ramones show. Ramones 2.0 was quite an excellent rendition of the original. Nothing replaces Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee, but it is as close as you come to the vibe back in the day. Musically it was "spot on". Marky arranged an impressive group of musicians that are true to the original show. I saw the Ramomes front row center 45 years ago at Montezuma Hall at SDSU, and I can say that Marky is better than ever at the drums. He has not lost a beat and put on an impressive 35 song set that required a lot of stamina, especially since he is the heart of the band. I was equally astonished that they played the entire catalog of all the Ramones songs and many of the covers that Joey Ramone loved. Hats off to Marky Ramone for this pinnacle performance that leaves true fans bringing us back to the late '70's one last time.
