Rock history is full of moments that have completely redrawn the map. Sunday, May 15, 1977 is one such date. It was then that the American band Ramones took to the stage of the Jarlateatern in Stockholm, kicked things off with "Loudmouth" - and wrote Swedish rock history.
By the time the concert was over, the chairs had turned into sticks and rowdy visitors went out for the next few weeks and formed one Swedish punk band after another. This is the story of all of Ramone's 19 gigs in Sweden, what they meant and what happened, told by those who were there. Meet eyewitnesses such as Monte A. Melnick, Mickey Leigh, Matthew Lolya, Chips Kiesbye, Thomas Johansson, Mats Olsson, Dregen, Per Gessle, Nisse Hellberg, Nicke Andersson and The Nomads and many others. Here, the Swedish press's sometimes somewhat giddy reactions from all over the country are reflected.
Relive legendary gigs at Jarlateatern, Domino, Dad's, Club Ron, Göta Lejon, Olympen, Isstadion, Hultsfred and Skellefteå festivals and more. Even Oslo and Roskilde are depicted!
The book is 240 pages long and loaded with both set lists and awesome photos, many of which have never been shown before... Hey Ho Let's Go!
