RAMONES MUSEUM BERLIN

Dee Dee & Johnny Ramone, 1984.

Here‘s Dee Dee and Johnny leaving their backstage room, ready to take the stage at Traxx in Detroit, December 15, 1984.

The Ramones had just released „Too Tough To Die“, their 10th anniversary album, labeled as „the return of the Ramones“ - after the three previous albums released in the 80s had received mixed reviews by critics and fans of the early releases.

„Too Tough To Die“ was the first Ramones album with Richie Ramone on drums. It was produced by their first drummer and founding member Tommy Ramone.

Dee Dee, Johnny, Edmund Kaz & Joey Ramone, 1982.

Here‘s three of the four Ramones with Ed Kaz, a long-time crew member of The Uncle Floyd Show, a cult-classic New Jersey comedy/variety television program that aired on Channel 68.

Kaz worked on the show in the 1980s and has since become a dedicated archivist of its legacy. On his platforms, he frequently shares vintage behind-the-scenes photographs, bloopers, and memorabilia featuring Uncle Floyd and the various famous musicians and artists who visited the set.

On this 1982 visit to the Uncle Floyd Show the Ramones performed a playback version of „I Wanna Be Sedated“.
