The Ramones in Britain
When the Ramones arrived in Britain in 1977, they found an audience ready for revolution. Their performances in London, Liverpool and other cities directly influenced the first generation of British punk musicians, including members of the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks and Generation X.
Ian Dickson's photographs from Liverpool provide some of the most important visual records of this encounter between American and British punk. The images capture the band at the precise moment their influence expanded beyond New York and became an international phenomenon.
Many historians now consider the Ramones' British appearances among the most important events in the history of punk rock.
