That would have been awesome.

How long were the Ramones' sets? I heard they used to come out and play about 15-20 minutes and call it a night. Granted, they played 10 songs at breakneck speed in those 20 minutes. Or did they play much longer when you saw them?

I recall them as full shows. I didn't time them but my guess would be an hour at least if not more. I would have remembered a relatively short 20 minute show. The guys seemed to love playing the Toronto punk scene. The close quarters, sonic overdrive and the crowd made these shows utterly amazing. You never had a chance to catch your breath. I don't think anyone was more than 30 feet from the stage with most much closer. I looked at the ticket stubs I still have and the prices were $5.50 and $7.50
