My name is Pierre-Olivier Gervais, I'm from Montréal, Québec, CANADA. I'm 22, but, I've seen numerous Ramones concerts and I've been a fan for 10-12 years. My brother was in NYC for Joey's 50th, but I couldn't make it...

These two pictures were taken in 1995 in Quebec City during the Lollapalooza tour.

top: At the end of the concert, Joey, exhausted, picks up his mic stand and let's it GO into the crowd...After nearly 60 minutes of fast and loud punk-rock, even the King of Punk needs a little break, specially when it's about 100 degrees!!!

bottom: Classic Joey pose!!! He hardly moved, but no one stood on a stage and made an impression like Joey...When he talked or sang, everyone would listen and watch...No one occupied the stage like he did...He didn't have to run, jump and yell like others do: he captured the crowds attention like he was God.
