Movie Reviews of Blondie: Live 1978
Movie Review: Blondie Live is for Real
Summary: 5 Stars
This terrific live footage of Blondie shows the band playing a collection of songs from their first two albums, Blondie & Plastic Letters - it pre-dates their big success of Parallel Lines. Some punkers would say it shows the band at their peak. The production is raw but clean, and appears to be one long take, like what you would see if you saw them at a club. This is the ticket to see them that you might have missed back in '78! If you dig the NY punk scene, and/or small-stage rock'n roll performances in general, you will appreciate the performances Deborah Harry and the group provide in this video. It is a must-have for fans of Blondie. Not only that, it also gives a good view of a real band in it's early stages - my daughter and her friends who are into the garage band scene both as a musical genre (e.g., White Stripes, etc.), and to play for themselves, learned a lot about how a band can perform well and have presence on a small stage. Deborah Harry shows how it's done right. The performance is something like a Saturday Night Live performance from the old days. It is something completely different, and more real, than they see in videos on MTV and big-time rock productions (e.g., Rolling stones, Aerosmith, and other huge venue deals) - it's a performance that is not just good, but they can see themselves being able to try for themselves. Put this DVD on and set up for a party for any age group.
Summary of Blondie: Live 1978
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. Filmed at the time of their reunion in 1999, this addition to the acclaimed VH1 series Behind The Music tells the story of Blondie from their origins in CBGB's, through their superstar years, their breakup in the mid eighties, Chris Stein's illness, solo careers and on to their current reformation. The story is illustrated by interviews with band members Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, Jimmy Destri and Clem Burke, plus Joey Ramone, John Waters and Terry Ellis of Chrysalis Records. It features clips of many of their hits taken from TV shows, live performances and original promo videos. As a bonus the full video for Maria has also been added to the program.Track Listing: 1.
