Movie Reviews of Blondie: Live 1978
Movie Review: YouTube Did It
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw a lot of concerts in my younger days - front row at Springsteen's 1st tour, Dire Straits' 1st U.S. tour, etc. - and many others - and now I wish I had seen this band.
YouTube did it for me; when I saw the energy and excellence of the great Deborah Harry I realized that my negative view of Blondie in 1978-1982 was my own stupid mistake.
Oh well, I am now a Blondie junkie and this DVD, which is a complete "set" of 11 of their early songs with all the transitions - IOW, they play straight thru - is the real deal. Yeah, I guess you could say that they went on to bigger and better things but if you like to study the craft of rock 'n roll you will not beat this IMO.
And fellas, I gotta tell you, your wife or girlfriend probably won't like this... It's the shirt I think ;^)
Rock on Bad Girl, Rock on!
Movie Review: Blondie's Ascent
Summary: 5 Stars
A Molten, exhilarating look at Blondie's top-of-the mark shot at early stardom. Who would think that a German Beat club, in front of a hundred mesmerized fans, would capture a smoldering performance by future Hall of Famers, Blondie? This runs a little over 28 minutes featuring raw, thrusting, cranking punk-rock gems from the first 2 albums alone, anticipating the golden nuggets to soon follow. Tough, tight and together, future success assured. This is the "Shea Stadium"-like glance of Blondie greatness, before they got bogged down by commercialism. Success is surely in the small, smokin' details. Hot.Movie Review: Blondie Live 1978
Summary: 5 Stars
Blondie was (and still is) a great band. They took the punk sensibilities of the Ramones and put classic "girl group" sounds of the 60's on top of it, thus creating a signature sound which culminated in the worldwide hit "Heart of Glass" in 1979. Nevertheless, this DVD is interesting to me because they were not superstars yet and still had that punk edge. This is amust see for Blondie fans.Movie Review: It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is absolutely the best video of any group I have ever seen, period! I have lent this DVD to young bands just to inspire them! This is the one video which shows Blondie at it's absolute best, and will be immortilized forever! The Video and Audio quality is also unbelieveble for it's time. "It doesn't get any better than this"!Movie Review: Live 1978 - Blondie
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD of Blondie's original music videos brings back memories of the new wave scene in NYC. Fresh and original, they were and are still one of my favorite bands. Deborah Harry's clothing and hair styles were cool and fun to emulate and their music was heaven to dance to. Check it out!
