Ramones Road to Ruin Tour 1979 The Palms Milwaukee Punk Flyer


This is an authentic flyer printed before the show.

It's very hard to find authentic Ramones memorabilia from their golden age of 1975-1980.

I acquired a few of these flyers from an ex-employee of the club. Part of his job was to pass out flyers for the shows and staple them up on telephone poles and at the local colleges, record stores, etc. These were left over, socked away for decades, and discovered still in the original box from the printer.


100% Original
8.5" x 11"
Printed on light yellow paper

Excellent condition for it's age: Mint

A few words about authenticity...

In 1998 I started becoming obsessed with flyers. Primarily punk flyers but my interest expanded as I got more and more into it.
I fell in love with the history, the artwork, the DIY ethic - and obviously the memories of and connection to the music.

I quickly realized that making "repros" was quite easy and very soon started to thoroughly vet and research every flyer I would buy to make sure that what I was buying was 100% authentic and original.
I never bought a flyer without first connecting with the seller and being 100% sure that what I was buying was the real deal.

It was through this research that I soon discovered (and built relationships with) ex-roadies, ex-bandmates, record label and club owners, memorabilia dealers and auction houses.
I bought a lot of flyers from these folks! I also bought collections from the coolest ex-punks who lived it. The stories/history these folks shared about the shows and scene were as cool and inspiring as the flyers!

In the early days I focused on the late 70's to mid 80's California punk scene, SST acts and the early days of NYC punk - CBGB, Max's Kansas City, etc.
I then discovered the book, "F***ed Up + Photocopied: Instant Art of the Punk Rock Movement", and became even more obsessed and expanded my scope of interest.

Then in the mid-2000's I stopped. Just like Forrest Gump.
I had enough, the really good stuff had been scooped up and was gone and more and more repros were flooding the market.

By then I had also amassed a pretty large collection of posters, records, concert tickets and stubs, programs, vintage ads, zines and mags, stickers, badges, autographs, set-lists, etc and was selling along with buying. I had become a punk rock memorabilia dealer!

That's my story, it's 100% true.
Every flyer I sell has been vetted by me and is 100% original (printed at the time of the show).
If you ever buy a flyer from me and have any doubts about it's authenticity just send it back for a 100% refund - no worries, because I'm confident in it's authenticity and that you will love it.

Thanks for checking out my auctions. Please contact me with any questions you may have ... and if you happen to have been at one of the shows tell me all about it!
