Original transmission recording 31st December 1979.. My favourite Blondie track. Yes 30 years ago !!! Real music, original songs with class performers !!!
there were pocket pc's in the '70s. I think Hewlett Packard was the 1st.. it was a more advanced calculator by today's standard but considered a computer!
Now that is a brilliant performance, and it is genuinely live here. particularly, the climatic section towards the end, she demonstrates very strong and impressive vocals and similar to the studio version in vocal strength.
@@dutchy777 ok. So you know that you are mis-quoting me to make your point you don't care. I was clearly mistaken. It's not your cognitive and reasoning skills that you need to work on - it's your common courtesy.
Electric atmosphere - one of the best gigs I ever went to , pity it was 35 years ago !! Watching Glastonbury is bringing it all back ( but not the years - PITY)
I fell in love with Debbie when she sang this song to me back in 1979 whilst I was in my bedroom listening with headphones. So she was on my turntable but she was there. I felt her! I heard her! She was singing to me, right? Awe Debbie!
I think the only person she ever sang intimately to was me. I remember it like it was yesterday. She was watching me shower and then told me I gave her , her finest hour. Oh my. I was a fool to let her go . But at the time I was from a different planet and my peoples told me I had to go back to my home galaxy. Damn! Damn peoples!
Wishing I was there that night does it seem they realized how lucky they were watching this live this band was really talented and Debbie Harry is very special and very rare.
How can a band mention get a pocket computer in 1979 when in them days nobody had a computer and the computers that did exist were the size of a detached house....pure genius.
Someone from the future? "you get a pocket computer... and do what you used to do"? I have theorised, a restoration of our future. Other than that, she is a gifted prophetess. I think someone from the future may have visited her.
New Year Eve 2019. It was forty years ago today. What did the Band mean by "20-20 vision"? Is it the vision of year 2020? Also, the mentoned "Pocket Computer". Did they refer to a device that can do computation (e.g. calculator but what the computation device had something to do with Picture?). Or, did they refer this to pocket computer as per what we know today?
farhanu haryanto 2020 vision is an optometry term! Your eyes are rated by number for near/farsightedness and 2020 is the optimal score. She's wanting perfect sight so she can see this person in the most detail.
I think most of the credit for such inventions lies with the Japanese. Many songs appear prophetic with hindsight.. Who knows what that's all about....
Great song. Horrible coverage. 95% of the coverage is a close-up of Deborah Harry. There's 4 more people in the band, and I would have liked to have seen them too.
They were great before she got addicted to heroine, blew up her band mates, and got into the occult. She slowly cracked up and by 1982 it was all over.
"Picture this: a sky full of thunder...picture this: my telephone number..." Classic stuff, sung by the most beautiful chanteuse in rock history.
Call me anytime.
Don't call me Shirley@@NuisanceMan
What a singer. She's flawless and this is not an easy song to sing.
One of the greatestest love song's ever written and never even mentions the word love ...
And how did this beautiful lady know in 1979 that we would get a pocket computer...

She didn't write the song
@user-rc1fi5gz6g written by Chris Stein Debbie Harry and Jimmy Destri .
According to Jimmy Destri the lyrics were written by Debbie Harry
@@mrbojangles977 Then why wallet and wife? Surely it would be purse, it's clearly a song written my a man and sung by a woman, lots of songs are
love Parallel Lines, Frank does a great job here, Clem always
I love how she goes from tender to raw. Powerful!
That's why she's a punk rocker.
"All I want is a photo in my wallet
A small remembrance of something more solid"
Oh God, Debbie...
She didn't write this song, photo of my wife and wallet are clues
Now that is a brilliant performance, and it is genuinely live here. particularly, the climatic section towards the end, she demonstrates very strong and impressive vocals and similar to the studio version in vocal strength.
This live performance show how amazing her voice is and how she doesn’t a computer to enhance her voice.
She does now!
Wow Cleme Burke the drummer is simply amazing.
I'm wearing a t shirt of him right now
I could look at that woman all day long. Simply beautiful.
What a magical time, 1979 college sophomore listening to Blondie and the sounds of that great era.
One of my favourite tracks from Blondie, there are so many to choose from!
One of the best guitar solos in a pop song ever recorded.
I agree!
oh come on! yes a good solo but the best ever??? NOOOO way Jose
@@dutchy777please don’t misquote me. I said one of the best and in a pop song. Work on your cognitive and reasoning skills. They’re severely lacking.
yrs I know, but it still isn;t even close@@grantharrismusic

Debbies voice sounds great here much more life and character than the studio version. I just love her velvet smooth honey tone.
Oh Debbie, you were and are the best, great singing and stage presence.
My favourite Blondie song of all time. Clem quite restrained on the drums for once!
I love that even at their peak they always chose to play more intimate smaller amphitheaters instead of larger venues.
20-20 vision a total portrait ....one of the best songs and Debbie ` s great!!! A extraordinary person! To my state about.
Amazing song...a balance of subtly and directness...only Blondie could capture this.
I wish I was at this concert......New Years Eve1979 ...watch the performance of "Pretty Baby" at this concert.... Blew me away!
Now that is awesome.!! The great Debbie Harry.!!!🥰🤗😋

The first band I ever really got into...once you're in, you can't get out! Bloody brilliant :)
Happy 75th birthday beautiful girl ..01/07/2020 xxx
Great drumming.
THE REAL MAJESTY!!! She's simply the best!
This is awesome. Blondie had some really good songs.
Wishing I was there that night does it seem they realized how lucky they were watching this live this band was really talented and Debbie Harry is very special and very rare.
It was raw & touched the masses
Still does
Debbie got me through many a difficult teenage night in the late 70s.
Pitcher this, 👀 20/20 👀....

She's probably referring to her Hewlett Packard HP-65
@@davidzof loved the RPN calculators- still use it
@Mary kai Thanks Mary.........Makes sense your explanation.
i miss these days of individuality
I remember watching this at the time....great stuff...
Instantly hypnotised. Fuck. I dissolved into nothing.
My girl likes blondie so much I wanted to see her.
Amazing drumming by Clam Burke!

Today is December 20, 2022 and she predicted that there are pocket computers in the 2020 vision. Debbie is a prophetess.

I was 18 and dumb as a public school rock. What happened?
How could singers from this era hear themselves when singing live?

Great song. Horrible coverage. 95% of the coverage is a close-up of Deborah Harry.
There's 4 more people in the band, and I would have liked to have seen them too.
I've seen them, and believe me, they are no competition to Debbie, visually.
They were great before she got addicted to heroine, blew up her band mates, and got into the occult. She slowly cracked up and by 1982 it was all over.
Nice summary of the band's history. Should be Blondie's wikipedia page.
U forget getting into the hof, most great bands have ugly breakups, ps- still touring, so much for her being a drug addict,
This song displays her great vocal range, and she nailed all the notes in this fine version.
Why does no one recognise what a brilliant singer she is totally live no auto tune no gimmicks no back up singers
Very nice the Blondie .
Very good Rock song .
YEAH !!!!!!
@@TheThetingler Tingles! Many of us get it. Debs adored.
