Saw the Ramones 5 times back in their heyday. They always played small clubs around where I was (NJ) at the time. Twice I had a table right by the stage. I could've blown smoke in Joey's face -- if I'd wanted too.

The second time I saw them they blew all the power out in the small club I was at and it turned into a riot. Got out of there, but did not get money back for the tickets.
