Description of Ramones - Raw:
An appropriately rough-and-tumble visual scrapbook of the Ramones' 20-year run, Ramones: Raw is sure to please fans of the legendary punk band with over five hours of live performances and rare behind-the-scenes footage. The core of the disc is a rock & roll Frankenstein of ferocious live performances of their most well-loved numbers, including "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Rockaway Beach," and many others, interspersed with footage of the band on television and at venues around the world. But for veteran Ramones followers, the disc's real value comes in the supplemental features, which are crowned by an hourlong, never-before-seen performance filmed for Italian television. The extras also include rowdy appearances on everything from Howard Stern's early '90s TV series to the NYC cable access program Uncle Floyd; clips from drummer Marky Ramone's extensive Super-8 footage of the band offer an off-stage glimpse at the group's humor, especially in the face of frantic international audiences. All this, capped by wry commentary by Marky and Johnny, means that if you've flown the Gabba-Gabba-Hey flag at any point in your life, you'll want Ramones: Raw. --Paul Gaita
Ramones - Raw Reviews:
hey ho lets watch the home movies 
2009-07-09 - very good look at the ramones last few years ////plus lots of classic ...live performances...a must have for all punk fans ....loved it
Ramones "Raw" DVD 
2009-02-16 - This contains over 5 hours of Ramones material. It is very comprehensive, it shows the Ramones in informal settings, on radio shows, TV shows, and just crusing around. I really enjoyed the Full Length Bonus Program, that included a Ramones concert in Italy. This is a must-have for any Ramones Fan. Buy it, you'll like it. Thanks, and may God Bless,
Highly recommended for Ramones fans
2008-12-13 - After viewing the End of the Century - The Story of the Ramones documentary, which is awesome, it leaves you with an impression that the band really wasn't all that happy with each other and what they accomplished together. So it's refreshing to see the band clowning around and enjoying themselves "on the road" throughout this videography of their years on tour with Marky Ramone.
While it's not a definitive live document, watch Ramones: It's Alive 1974-1996 if you are looking for that, there are lots of great performances scattered throughout and you get to see how huge the band was internationally. Be sure to check out the audio commentary with Marky and Johnny, lots of funny anecdotes and insight.
If you haven't subscribed to the awesomeness of The Ramones yet, this may not be for you, but this is a real treat for manic fans of the band. I really enjoyed it.
Just curious? 
2008-11-14 - A dvd for all Ramones Fans and anyone who's just curious. Home video on tour. 1980 Concert in Italy outside the Vatican. and a load of other rare 8mm live video + early tv Video. Every bit of video is extremely watchable. Optional Commentary by Johnny Ramone, Marky Ramone and the film maker........
For real Ramones fans only.
2007-09-03 - I love the Ramones. I live in northern NJ where the Ramones were somewhat of a local bar band in the late 70's. They often played in clubs throughout North Jersey (the Show Place in Dover NJ, The Searchlight in Byram NJ, and others) and I was fortunate to see them about a dozen times in those early years. That being said I found this to be a lot of fun at times and tedious at others. There is no context to what you are watching and it is often left to the viewer to try to figure out where a segment is taking place and when it is happening. It is a bit of a jumbled mess. Some of the live segments are very good quality while others are poorly recorded hand held video cameras with poor sound quality. This video also gives you an idea that the Ramones had become fairly bored with each other (though they did come alive on stage). As mentioned by other reviewers this is a collection Marky's video and he does seem to annoy the other Ramones with his constant filming.
If you are a big Ramones fan you will love it. If you are a casual Ramones fan you will have trouble staying with it. If this is your first experience with the legenday Ramones, don't start with this video. You will get the wrong impression about this truly awesome band.
