#rockforhopeproject - I Believe in Miracles


We are members from different popular rock groups who have come together to make music to help raise funds for specific global needs.


For this specific fundraiser we collaborated from our homes during the Covid-19 lockdown. Through sending our recordings and videos to each other we have compiled a recording and video of a Ramones' song called "I Believe in Miracles"

This is a very special punk-rock song and we hope that it brings positivity to people's live at this difficult time.

We are also raising funds for the Partners In Health Covid-19 charity.

Our motto is simple: "Watch our video. If you enjoy it, please donate. If you're not in the position to give, share it with someone that is"

Rock & Rolling Thunder - Ramones Live at Six Flags Great Adventure 1980


Ramones played 2 shows at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson New Jersey on June 6th, 1980. Thankfully the first show was recorded by an attendee and found it's way to the internet. Johnny considered this one of his favorite shows.

The show is incomplete but is worthy of inclusion in any collection for its historical significance. I've taken the audio from the show and applied some audio fixes to provide what I hope is an enjoyable audio experience.

You can listen to the original upload HERE and find my edit HERE.

In addition to creating an individual track for each  song I've also included some fun artwork.

Enjoy!
