The Ramones played their first gig of the new year at the 21 North Dance Club in Port Chester, NY. Prior to leaving for the show the band listened to the final mastered version of their End of the Century album in the band's van. According to Marky Ramone as detailed in his book Punk Rock Blitzkrig: My Life as a Ramone Johnny didn't give his opinion until they were in the band's dressing room at the venue. He's quoted as saying, "Not good. Not good."
