Cool! Footage of Joey Ramone BEFORE he was in The Ramones

Before the Ramones, Jeff Hyman of Queens, New York–later known as Joey Ramone–was in a band called Sniper. Reader Adam wants to direct our attention to this bit of 1973 film of Sniper performing live. It’s not great quality, but hey, it’s better than nothing.
