19 Years Ago: The Ramones Play Their Last Show
The Ramones might have been the hardest-working band in rock and roll history. They formed in 1974, started playing shows, and pretty much never stopped until they called it quits in 1996. Over their two-plus decades of playing power-chord-fueled pop rock, the Ramones performed over 2,000 live shows, and on Aug. 6th, 1996, they played their last show ever, in Los Angeles.
