This is a retracked version of the bootleg called "Birthday Bash". The source of these flac files is a rip of "Birthday Bash", which was posted by newyorkdoll on DIME on November 24, 2006.
Thanks to newyorkdoll for sharing the boot.
The bootleg is poorly tracked, with several tracks containing two songs. I decoded the flacs to wav, joined the wavs with shntool, then used CD Wave to split the joined wav into tracks.
I edited out three seconds from the original flac files, as the end of original track 15 is repeated at the beginning of original track 16.
Here is the way it's tracked on the "Birthday Bash" boot:
01 Loudmouth / Beat On The Brat
02 Blitzkrieg Bop / I Remember You
03 Glad To See You Go / Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment
04 You're Gonna Kill That Girl
05 I Don't Care
06 Sheena Is A Punk Rocker / Rockaway Beach
07 Commando
08 Here Today, Gone Tomorrow
09 Surfin' Bird
10 Cretin Hop / Listen To My Heart
11 California Sun
12 I Don't Wanna Walk Around With You / Pinhead
13 break before encore
14 Suzy Is A Headbanger
15 Chain Saw / Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World
16 break before second encore
17 Now I Want To Be A Good Boy / Let's Dance
Here are newyorkdoll's comments from the November 2006 torrent:
SBD recording from CD!!
This is a top-notch, soundboard "must have" show for Ramoniacs like myself. I
believe that it was originally pressed on vinyl in a limited quantity of 100
copies but this version is from a copied CD from bootleg label, Exile Records
out of Germany. Unfortunately this show is incomplete and is missing the final
six songs but the sound quality - although a bit rough - is still superior to
the vinyl version that an L.A. collector friend of mine has on vinyl and used to
play for me throughout the 90's. This was a seminal show in Los Angeles and
bands like Black Flag & the Adolescents started in the wake of this gig!
My notes:
I believe this might be an FM recording, rather than a SBD. In any event, it's not the greatest SBD/FM recording you'll ever hear, but it's a smoking performance and the sound quality is good, but not great.--craig62
Notes from Javier Diaz' defunct (?) Ramones site:
10/21/77 Whisky A Go-Go - Hollywood, CA
Notes: More was played after 'Let's Dance'.
This show is often mislabeled as 11/24/77 or 08/10/77
Version 2 of the soundboard audio is missing everything before 'Commando'
and everything after 'Today Your Love, Tomorrow The World'
