That year PLR welcomed KISS to Mohegan Sun Arena. KISS hit the road for their “Alive 35” World Tour to celebrate the band’s 35th anniversary. They were also promoting their nineteenth studio album “Sonic Boom,” which was released that same year and featured the opening single Modern Day Delilah.

99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1989!

Which band played the most shows at Toad’s Place? We’re not exactly sure, but we’re pretty sure The Ramones is right up there! From 1977 to 1996 The Ramones played roughly 23 shows at Toad’s. Some years they played there place more than once. For example, in 1991 they played Toad’s in three times. In the 80’s it was common to see the Ramones twice a year: both in the winter and in the summer.

1989 was one of those years the Ramone’s played twice to Toad’s. The latter show in December turned out to be a historic show for the Ramones. It was the United States concert debut of C.J. Ramone, who replaced original member Dee Dee Ramone in the band. The Ramones came to New Haven in December ’89 to support their eleventh studio album, “Brain Drain,” which they had released that March.

Today we look back at that show….
