January 10th, 1977

The Ramones released their second album Leave Home. Like I previously did for the band's debut I've compiled live recordings of the songs from the album performed by the band between 1975 and 1996. I did run into a bit of a problem when I discovered the band appears to have never performed "What's Your Game" live. Thankfully CJ has been on the road keeping the band's music alive over the past few years and I was able to use a live recording from 2010 that also features Daniel Rey to fill this gap.
