Joey Ramone - Amsterdam Shirt

Joey Ramone (real name Jeffrey Hyman) was the drummer in the band's early days as a three-piece group. But it was obvious that he was more suited as a front man. The band released 14 albums before calling it quits in 1996. They played 2,263 shows, making them one of the most prolific touring bands ever.

Their second U.K. tour, in 1977, included a stop in Copenhagen, Denmark. During that show, Joey wore his Amsterdam T-shirt. Most likely, he picked up the shirt during the 1976 tour when they played the Netherlands. He also can be seen wearing his Amsterdam shirt in promotional photos from that first tour. After Joey’s death in 2001, the junction of Bowery and Second Street in New York City, near the historic CBGB’s club, was renamed Joey Ramone Place.
