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!
