Blondie's Ascent

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. October 15, 2008

It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!

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"! August 26, 2007

Blondie! The Early Years

Nigel Harrison is one of the guitar players in the video- not Gary Valentine. The print on the back of the DVD box is wrong. August 13, 2007

Blondie Live is for Real

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. March 8, 2007

Live 1978 - Blondie

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! July 24, 2006
