FOLLOWING REVIEW IS BY REGISCOLLECTOR.
CJ RAMONE BAND PLAYING AT THE HANGAR 110 IN SAO PAULO, BRAZIL ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2012.

This was the third show of the tour (Reconquista) in Brazil, the show house called Hangar 110 had about 500 people. The audience was small because the show was in the middle of week (Wednesday), if it would been in a weekend audience would be double.

New formation with two guitars is much better. Guitarists Dan Root and Steve Soto were a great addition to the band, Steve gave me a guitar pick during the show and I was very happy. The people sang all the songs, Pinhead and Three Angels were one of the best moments of the show... When I think of the four last times that CJ was in Brazil and what shows I attended (2008, 2009, 2010 and now 2012), this was the best show of them.

Three Angels and You're The Only One are best live songs from CJ Ramone's new album Reconquista. Running time of show was one hour and 15 minutes, during the show CJ didn't forgot to celebrate the 61 years of his idol in the Ramones: "Yesterday was birthday of Dee Dee Ramone, I would play a song in tribute to him with - Endless Vacation"

Before the show I met with CJ. He gave a live interview to the biggest Rock Radio in Sao Paulo (KISS FM) and I was there. CJ signed my records of Guitar Pete's Axe Attack (See album details here).
Also before the show, CJ attended television program called Agora E Tarde. He did an interview and played two songs.
