The Ramones first “performance” was in the space in which they practiced in Manhattan in March of 1974.
They played as a trio with Dee Dee on bass and vocals, Joey on drums and Johnny on guitar.
Tommy was in the audience as manager.
The first show as a 4 piece was about 4 and a half months later on August 16th, 1974 at CBGB.
This video was recorded there a month later:
After that they rounded out the rest of the year with 70 more shows at CBGB.
All to the benefit of the club, the band and the universe in general.
22 years later they played their 2,263rd and last show.
Also on this date in 1985 the Red Hot Chili Peppers released Freaky Styley.
