Editorial Reviews

Emerging from the mid-seventies New York punk rock movement, Blondie's mix of punk ethos, glorious melodies and the iconic figure of Debbie Harry took them to global superstardom. On February 10, 1999 the band took to the stage of New York's Town Hall for their first hometown gig in 17 years. Featuring original members Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, Jimmy Destri and Clem Burke, the band stormed through a set that went back to their earliest days with In The Flesh and Rip Her To Shreds, through tracks from their smash hit comeback album No Exit, including their No.1 hit Maria, and of course all the hits in between such as Dreaming, Atomic, Union City Blue, Sunday Girl, Heart Of Glass and many more. Filmed by VH1 for broadcast, this DVD includes the whole TV version plus around forty minutes of extra footage only available here.

5.0 out of 5 stars capable of infinite viewings!, July 20, 2005

This review is from: Blondie Live (DVD)

One of the best truely LIVE concerts on dvd. I've watched this multiple times and still feel the exuberance of the audience each time. I like music with a clean sound and a hard edge sometimes,and this show delivers. "Shayla" and "Union City Blue" really stand out. Not a perfect show, but damn close. Debbie Harrys voice was awesome and at times seemed to sing as if she was giving it all she possibly could. At times it was filmed as if you were standing next to her on stage. Great crowd. The interaction of the audience and Debbie is genuinely symbiotic. I think this was billed as Blondies comeback concert in 1999, and they really did good. I have a feeling this was a very emotional concert for many people and you can feel it. The sound quality is nice, but you have to bring the treble down a little. Plenty of enjoyment here.

This review is from: Blondie Live (DVD)

EXCELLENT!!! This was filmed/recorded some time during the late 1990's. This is a mature Blondie performing exceptionally well!!! Debbie Harry, the Band, the Town Hall Auditorium, the atmosphere, and the crowd are all really into it, making this one GREAT concert DVD!!!

Blondie was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during 2006!!!
This concert dvd was filmed after their late 90's release of an album full of new material (I can't remember the name, but it's the one that contained the hit "Maria")! With the release of "Maria", Blondie had a #1 hit in the U.K. during the 70's, the 80's, and with "Maria" in the 90's!!!

They are certainly a great band and Debbie Harry is an outstanding performer!!! This concert DVD proves it!!! The song set consists of 16 songs, all are great. Some highlights, I especially liked include:

"Dreaming"
"Hanging on the Telephone"
"Call Me"
"X Offender"
"Screaming Skin"
"Boom Boom in the Zoom Zoom Room"
"Atomic"
"Forgive and Forget"
"One Way or Another"
"Shayla/Union City Blue"
"In the Flesh"
"Heart of Glass"
"Sunday Girl"
"Rapture"

Plus, it contains a bonus video of "Nothing is real but the Girl".

This is a great one in my opinion, if you're a Blondie fan this is a "must have" concert dvd. If you're not a Blondie fan, buy one and watch it, and I think you'll like it. Debbie is full of enthusiasm and this is a "feel-good" concert to watch. Thanks, and may God Bless.

This review is from: Blondie Live (DVD)

This was considered a reunion concert of sorts being it was Blondie's first U.S. show in about 17 years since disbanding in the early 80's. Upon the release of their reunion album, No Exit, in early 1999, Blondie deliver a top quality performace. What stands out most of all is witnessing how improved they sound as a live act compared to their heyday. Clem Burke plays heavy with this show, as he always has, but the whole band show a great chemistry playing together, while Debbie's voice has grown better with age-rich and smoky, but still carries the clear, pop vocals that marry sexuality and innocence. The exceptional performaces in this show are "Shayla," which then leads into an explosive version of "Union City Blue," also one of the best performances I've ever seen of "Rapture," followed by Harry emerged in her punk delivery of "Rip Her to Shreds." The audience is more than receptive and Blondie give thanks with an amazing encore consisting of "One Way Or Another," and "Heart of Glass." The set list is also packed with hits, but the track that seems totally out of place is in the middle by way of "Boom Boom in the Zoom Zoom Room," a dreary jazz number included on the No Exit album. The group really should have omitted this from the set list instead of sacrificing a more popular song.
