It's Alive is the first live album by the American
punk band the
Ramones. It was recorded at the
Rainbow Theatre,
London, on December 31, 1977, and released in April 1979. The title is a reference to the 1974
horror movie of the same name. The album was originally released as a 2-LP set and draws material from the Ramones' first three albums. Four concerts during the UK tour were recorded, but the New Year's Eve performance was chosen because ten rows of seats were thrown at the stage after the concert and it was considered the best of the performances at the venue. The concert was also filmed and later released in a truncated form on the DVD
It's Alive 1974-1996.
