DVD Reviews of Blondie Live
DVD Review: Top-notch and first-rate.
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I got this DVD in the mail 2 weeks ago, I have watched it from beginning to end every single evening. That's 14 nights in a row. While I'm at work, I'm singing to myself songs from this performance, especially "Screaming Skin", which snuck up on me and surprised me how good it is. The entire performance is absolutely first-rate, and it's fun to watch this great group back together again. And Deborah Harry does appear to be slightly nervous at the beginning, but then she just flat-out blooms during the concert. She starts out in fine form, but around the time those sunglasses come off, she transforms into a lovely creature you can't take your eyes off, and her vocals are much stronger than I had anticipated. I cannot think of a better word for it: She blooms, right in front of your eyes.
The rest of the band is a pleasure to watch also, but Deborah Harry just steals the show. I never paid much attention to her before, mostly because I've never seen them live, and my exposure has been almost solely to the audio Blondie. Which was great, but I honestly never really realized how beautiful Deborah Harry is. And she's totally got the moves down. Try not to melt when she smiles.
Clem Burke: One of my two favorite drummers ever. Fast and creative, he never misses a beat and is a wonder to watch at work.
Chris Stein: A very laid-back kinda guy, his guitar work may not sound remarkable, but it is very distinctive, and is a basic factor in Blondie's sound.
Jimmy Destri: Also a distinctive sound on the keyboards, and as one of the founding members, had a hand in writing some of the great songs that made Blondie who they are.
Leigh Foxx: Great bass work, and a very nice solo.
Paul Carbonara: Solid guitarist, some great leads.
Video: 4:3 aspect ratio. Being as this was originally a television special, this is to be expected, as is the radio station logo that appears on the wall.
Very good quality. Nicely lit stage, and a relaxed editing job that puts you where you want to be. Some of these new concert videos coming out are edited so quickly, that they cause a headache, and won't let you focus. I'm happy to report that doesn't happen here. Video quality also excellent. Nice, clear picture. Also, special mention to the camera operators, as they knew exactly where to be at exactly the right time. Clearly professional work throughout.
Audio: Very good for a live concert, but not excellent. Nothing bothersome, but there were some very minor things. For instance, I'd have liked to hear Chris' guitar a bit better. And the rest of the instruments were hard to distinguish from each other. Deborah's voice, however, comes through loud and clear, as does Clem's drums.
Overall: A must-have if you're remotely interested in this band. Tonight will be the first night I have not watched it since I got it. On the other hand, maybe I'll wait another day...
Description of Blondie Live
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.Track Listing:
