On January 10 in the US came out a bootleg DVD about the “Ramones” called “Pleasant Dreams”. It is the inside story of the music of the first five years of the “Ramones” on record, on film and live on stage. After the ill fated experiment with Phil Spector this was the album which put the band back on track and proved that the “Ramones” still had what it takes. Featuring ultra rare footage of the “Ramones” performing material from “Pleasant Dreams” live which is previously unreleased on DVD plus rare archive interviews with Joey, Dee Dee, Johnny, Tommy and Marky alongside the views of a leading team of working musicians musicologists and rock journalists, this is the definitive review of how the album was made and how the music has stood the test of time.
