I was a teenager during Blondie's heyday and they were huge. On every station every ten minutes and it seemed like every song that came out was better than the next. They had so many hits but were so concentrated that it seemed like such a short time that they were it. They put out like 10 years worth of songs in 3 years. Debbie deserves way more notoriety than she gets. They are still great now especially compared to what is coming out these days. It's all been done before.
@kennethj1956 No. Most of us know where this sound started. Behind every British band is a great American influence. Even the Beatles used to idolize people like Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly and Little Richard.
Debbie Harry was simply unique and unrivaled in what she did in the early 80s. Beautiful, talented & smart. I listen to other music from the 80's and other than Blondie no-one in this genre sounds so fresh and fun today as they did 30 years ago.
"It is not one man nor a million, but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are, one by one, broken, but the ocean conquers nevertheless. It overwhelms the Armada, it wears out the rock. In like manner, whatever the struggle of individuals, the great cause will gather strength"
@kingofallwhites Clem is an even bigger beast on drums in the official video for this song. I agree with you, if this song isn't the greatest drum performance it's definitely one of the greatest ever!
I WISH THERE WERE MORE MUSIC LIKE DEBBIE. NOW ALL WE GET IS A BUNCH OF REJECT RAP WHO LOOK PISS OFF IN EVERY VIDEO. NOTICE I DIDN'T MENTION MUSIC VIDEO. IT NOISE ,NOT MUSIC.
She is almost as gorgeous as Grace Potter. What's with these auto-tuned ladies these. Debbie can sing. Those were the days. No multi-tracks no bullshit, This woman just had a great voice, like Maria McKee and Cyndi, Madonna is a poseur, So is Gaga. Not close.

CLEM BURKE!
Amazing energy, INCREDIBLE beats on this song and often credited with being a driving force to keep the band together early on before they were successful as well as getting the group back together in the late '90s to tour again (and they still kicked ass even in their 40s and 50s including Deborah Harry's beautiful voice still sounding magnificent (she was born July 1, 1945)).
Yes....We rocked out in JR. High on Blondie, The Go-Go's N Heart........it was our time when we actually had Bands play after school N our school dances too. We were in love with them ALL.....Totally, 4 sure.
Might be the most impressive drummer ever. I thought so back in '79 and I think so now. You can have Moon, Bonham, whoever, but Burke knew/know's what he was/is doing.
@LTF6161 I agree - Alex Van Halen & Luis Cardenas for showmanship but Burke for energy and sound.... looking great v sounding great sound wins every time so Burke has to be tops
@LTF6161 You know who is also impressive is the drummer for The Plimsouls. I saw them in Hollywood in the mid 90's, (long after their prime), and although the band could still rock, it was the drummer that made the show for me.
Back the, all these bands were real. They all began in the clubs and bars of Europe and America. They were discovered by record companies and signed to contracts. No "American Idol" nonsense. They went on a lot of local TV shows to promote their records and lip-synced because the shows could not afford to pay for live performances. But as this shows, they were real performers not Studio creations.
Debbie Harry was a force of nature. 5 foot nothing and when she got on stage she owned it.
So true! earned their chops in CBGBs, worked like hell touring Europe and finally broke American radio somewhat.... but GOD I MISS REAL BANDS!!! And Debbie?? no one comes close
Apparently Debby Harry is only the 12th greatest woman in rock and roll according to some poll. But who do you put over her? I mean I'd put a few alongside her - Slick, Joplin, Siouxzie, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey maybe, but OVER her? Who? Nevertheless there are 11 greater apparently. Never saw the poll but if Madonna, Minogue, gaga etc. are the ones then god help us all...
@CultureJudge-That was a VH1 poll from some years back. Polls are generally worthless. Plus in the US Blondie has always been very underrated. The US music market severely limited new music and fans didn't get the exposure that fans in the UK and Europe got. This is a BBC video. And for some reason US critics always gave them credit only begrudgingly. On the brighter side, NME recently ranked her as the 4th best frontperson of all time ahead of all the others you listed. That's progress.
If there was ever any doubt that Clem Burke took Cozy Powell's crown as "Number One Drummer in the World" then this video removes it. Can't think of another drummer who'd get anywhere near this impact .............. and he's still awesome now
@fakeaorta Clem Burke, Rat Scabies and Chuck Biscuits never got the respect they deserved.The dudes from the Buzzcocks and The Jam were really good also.
@kingofallwhites I really can't pick the better drummer, Moon was quite a character though. I'm just glad to discuss good music with smart people. Thank you.
my god! listen to that voice! she is belting out some of the most simple yet profoundly touching lyrics. what happened to pop music? it will come back around hopefully, but until then, i will be dreaming, dreaming is free
my god! listen to that voice! she is belting out some of the most simple yet profoundly touching lyrics. what happened to pop music? it will come back around hopefully, but until then, i will be dreaming, dreaming is free
Pat Benetar, Joan Jett, Chrissie Hynde, and Ann Wilson rocked that decade and still do!... But I'll be damned if any chick today tries to get up and be "Blondie" Can't be repeated. Yeah Yeah Yeahs came close. Now we're stuck with..well you know
@jimmypage444 Nobody could ever look like Debbie except Debbie herself. On her worst day she is still the most talented and sexy woman to have ever graced a mic.
Why so much Gaga hate? It's not like she's trying to sound like Blondie anyhow...Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Ana Matronic of Scissor Sisters are way more in the realm of Blondie-esque music than Lady Gaga.
Almost hard to remember a time when women in music could actually sing and not just show off their ass and tits and do some shitty dancing. Debby totally owns this pathetic generation of women in music today.
@dsfddsgh That's really not fair - there are plenty of women who produce awesome music today - they just don't get the same level of mainstream recognition that Blondie did and therefore are less visible.
This entire concert was just released on an official DVD. The video and audio quality of it is amazing and seeing the full concert gives you a much better perspective, particularly how the performance of each song builds off the previous one. You just don't see how the energy and momentum of the concert develops through isolated videos of each song. I've watch videos of this concert on YT many times, so I was surprised at how much better it is on the DVD.
What impresses me so much about this is that she is completely in tune and in time.... listen to bloody Gaga singing live and she is completely out of tune and time... Debbie - you're still magic.
@blooddonor70 Hey, if people want to start tearing others down in order to build Debbie up (which is more of a negative assessment of her in THEIR minds, if anything) they should at least know something about the people they're slandering. And if they don't, I have a right to call them out on it.
@simonluckin8 What's worse is Gaga is considered a great singer compared to today's crop of pop singers like Ke$ha, Britney and Katy Perry. Sad times isn't it?
Just like to point out that, similar to the divine Marilyn, Ms. Harry is far, and I mean far more than the sum of her parts. Also like to mention that the drummer is off the fkn res on this song.
I just saw Blondie live for the first time last year and they were amazing. Debbie still sounds fantastic. However, i would have loved to have seen them live in their prime.
I miss the energy of this music in today's music. The late 70s, early 80s were a great time for musicians who honed their talent and music by working 3 -4 years in the clubs before making it big.
Everyone, ENJOY.....being 16/17/18 years old now. I was 16 in 1979 and this song was being played LOUD......on the car radio cruising on the main drag at the time. If y'all enjoy yourselves now, you will have GREAT memories later.

@simonluckin8 What's worse is Gaga is considered a great singer compared to today's crop of pop singers like Ke$ha, Britney and Katy Perry. Sad times isn't it?

@dsfddsgh Gaga IS a great singer, she doesn't need to be compared to hacks like Kesha, Britney, or Katy, to be considered talented.

Just like to point out that, similar to the divine Marilyn, Ms. Harry is far, and I mean far more than the sum of her parts. Also like to mention that the drummer is off the fkn res on this song.

I just saw Blondie live for the first time last year and they were amazing. Debbie still sounds fantastic. However, i would have loved to have seen them live in their prime.

I miss the energy of this music in today's music. The late 70s, early 80s were a great time for musicians who honed their talent and music by working 3 -4 years in the clubs before making it big.

this is when music was music and the corporate machine still hadn't totally productized talent.

To heck with Debbie, the camera should have stayed on Clem. Drums FTW!

If you don't love this, there is something wrong with you. If you want to know why the queen of the angels chose chris stein, listen to his leads!

@HarryPotter87 It's the lighting. It looks to be white with reddish or ?
Stage lighting has multiple colored lamps/filters and sometimes they do odd things.

Everyone, ENJOY.....being 16/17/18 years old now. I was 16 in 1979 and this song was being played LOUD......on the car radio cruising on the main drag at the time. If y'all enjoy yourselves now, you will have GREAT memories later.

The queen still has it. I saw Blondie last year and Debbie and the boys still have what it takes to bring a crowd to its feet.

The Original Punk Rock Queen. She even blew away most of the New Wave pretenders that came right after. There will never be another Deborah Harry.
