I agree with Dave, the crowd treated The Ramones like dirt. Typical actually for the time, saw many Toronto crowds treat opening bands badly. Sometimes they were better than the headliner! (Yes, I am talking about you Aerosmith!
Great concert with a varied lineup of acts.
I went to this show to see the Ramones and Johnny Winter. I was only 18 at the time but I had already seen the Ramones in 1976 and I was a huge fan. I was also a big Johnny Winters fan. The rest I couldn't care much about, especially Nugent. So when the Ramones came on I was up and cheering. Meanwhile every other rocker at the festival just aimed hatred at the Ramones and the crowd booed them and pelted them with garbage. The Ramones finally flipped them all the bird and walked off in disgust. It was a mass example of how I was treated at parties during this time when I would try to get my punk rock records played. So, the playlist here is really not correct. I figured the Ramones got through 5 songs tops, maybe 6 before they were booed off the stage.
