Debbie Harry makes me so happy, not only do i love her music but my very close friend look a lot like her, sadly my friend died in a car accident a few years ago. I miss her a lot, so when i watch Debbie Harry on stage its kinda like my friend is here again. :-)
yeah and this was in 82... i noticed her voice did get abit deeper as she got older...it happens to everyone... still would listen to her voice all day! LOL
This was in Toronto 1982 , I remember this , Blondie was huge in the late 70s and early 80s , before Madonna and Gaga , there was Blondie in all her New wave regality
A lot of people say this was a low time for her and Blondie, musically and visually... I love this though, the band sounds good, Debbie looks beautiful, and sings devinely as usual... There is nothing wrong for me in the era of The Hunter
The Hunter is one of my favourite albums, it just gets overlooked all the time. When Blondie played War child in 2003 for the first time since 1982 and Orchid club in 2010 for the first time ever, I was so happy
Blondie had a gift of mixing different musical styles and still pulling it off. Whether it be old 50s early Rock n Roll songs like "Denis", rock/disco mixes like "Heart of Glass", edgy Punk type songs like "Rip her to Shreads", calypso in "The Tide is High" to rap (from a white band in 1980) in "Rapture." Blondie wasn't afraid to experiment! Ahead of their time as many of their fans would say! It didn't hurt to have a beautiful blond w an angelic voice to be the band's lead singer either!
I was 16 and seen this show at the Providence Civic Center with all the punks and New Wave kids. Her shows always had a diversity of kids. Seen her three times after that even in person in a punk club in the 1990's She pave the way for most all the women out there today and dont let anyone say other wise. Deborah Harry the light Siouxsie Sioux the dark They were the true trend setters of our Generation and continue well beyond there years. 47 year old fan
Regardless if Debby Harry was a Heroine addict or not, she is very talented, and was from Union City, New Jersey like me, and I love all of her performances, and it was a great band!! Love Them!:) She was one of my role models as a singer. The business isn't easy either, too stressfull. I should know. Love, Nicole:);)
Debbie is so confident and the band are so together that this video is a definitive record of Blondie at their best. Not so sure about the intrusive trumpets !
Yes it was. I saw them in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and DD did open. Not many people had MTV then in Iowa (I was one of the lucky ones) but everyone loved them.
1982 I remember & this short haired chick takes me to the Chelsea Hotel. Wildest night of my life! WOW! We hid from boys with leather lol! I could write a book! She called San Francisco in between! I called the desk, they said we got the bill Jeff! Sex graded 10+ I bought french pastry in the morning. Then she was gone! LOL! LOTTA FUN! Love the long hair tho! I was 26 then tearing Atlantic City Records to shreds to meet Stevie Nicks.But I was told I spent the night with Debbie Harry! Blondie I would have guessed was 40! Whomever, I was offered to make a movie by Hollywood! Without permissions I declined but met Debbie and Stevie after that! I still do drugs! kjinphx2003 thx 4 sharin! God Bless!
Lost inside, adorable illusions and you cannot hide, the bullshit that you're spewing if you even tried, you're just no good, you're tweeking like ya do.
This show is from the summer of 82 she was on tour for the hunter thats why she looks like a hunter and the men in brown jackets I was there! She was playing large arena's and cancelled many of the shows due to low attendance. The Hunter album never sold and Island of lost souls the single went to 37 well below a top ten single in the US.
I agree, BlondieBoy. Good comment. This video does demonstrate pretty well the destruction of Blondie in a way. For one, their lead guitarist is already gone here. That was the beginning of the end. Secondly, the music on their final album was horrible. And then all that stuff you mentioned was happening. One thing I don't understand is, they must have known when recording their final album that the music wasn't good. They had to have sensed it didn't feel right.
so much for the blondie fans, looks like a dead crowd. no one moving,dancing,i would have probably been the only one there going apeshit.i have always been a blondie fan and will always love their music
they were totally on their way down at this exact point in time. frank and nigel where on the charlie every hour of every day, debbie and chris were deeply involved with heroine, jimmy was just doing every drug in the book and chris was getting mysteriously paler and skinnier by the hour. and yet they still fucking rocked the house. how you ask?? it's called a super badass mother fucking mean drumming machine called CLEM BURKE!!
You can still be a fan of Blondie and say things as they are. In this case, the truth hurts. So why be so defensive? Looks like someone took their "thumb down bot" and thumbed all the critical comments.
OMG @ the 32nd (64th?) note doubled triplet drum-fills from Clem Burke! Pure WOW. Not at all like the record version (which I love), but still incredible as a change of pace. I'm also a drummer & those specific (triplet) rolls are *really* hard to do at that speed! : ) Plus---Anyone who could get ANY attention while onstage behind Debbie HAD to be GREAT! That's HARD to do! He & Bun E. Carlos could have had one AMAZING power-pop drum battle! : )
If any of you read the Blondie biography or got the book (which i have) you would realise that there was alot they had to deal with at that time, empty concerts, loan sharks, money disappearin, managers fleecing them of cash, drug use, chris becoming ill. Please read about them before you judge them.
@kewrock debbie harry was born in 1945. when she was singing here in this concert, she was 37 years old. everything goes downhill once you hit the 35 mark. considering botox only became popular in the 2000s, i would say she looked pretty darn good here.
Debbie harry!!!! To this day is one of the coolest women on the face of the earth. Can you image the crazy sh*t she could tell you. What John Belushi was like. What New York was like in 77(It was crazy), studio 54 and all the wild craziness. She has forgotten more cool sh*t then most of us will encounter in our lives. I could wrestle a bear with my two hands, get in a high speed chase with the police, and even smoke in public in New York(Where it's illegal) and not be as badass as Debbie Harry.
@Tim777G In a BBC documentary she talked about going on Methadone treatment after the band had broken up so there was definitely an issue. Videodrome was made in 1981, but the film came out and was promoted in 1983, and she looked more like herself.
@SuperBooyah123 Well not so fast,, I just saw them in concert 2 nights ago here in Costa Mesa California and she sounded great and not ony she was great but the whole band sounded great and that shows that Debbie and the band still has the magic.
every female singer would love to be half as good as debbie harry
There is not one like her... she is unique...
Debbie Harry makes me so happy, not only do i love her music but my very close friend look a lot like her, sadly my friend died in a car accident a few years ago.
I miss her a lot, so when i watch Debbie Harry on stage its kinda like my friend is here again. :-)
it's crazy that she was almost 40 when she did this performance
Why is it crazy?
yeah and this was in 82... i noticed her voice did get abit deeper as she got older...it happens to everyone... still would listen to her voice all day! LOL
She is so beautiful!
wow this drummer stole the whole show..
this guy is amazing he is feeling the beat!
Haha yeah I think that he loves rock
He actually hated the song and only played the song bc he had to :-)
yeah he killed it.
This was in Toronto 1982 , I remember this , Blondie was huge in the late 70s and early 80s , before Madonna and Gaga , there was Blondie in all her New wave regality
No matter how weird she dresses everything looks good on her... Queen of Cool, the one and only...
What a drummer !!!!
A real beat-box !!!
Who wasn't in love with Debbie back then?
i was born in 1982, so lucky that i have a chance to listen " Maria" then i try to listen the others. BLONDIE is so awesome band for me!!
A lot of people say this was a low time for her and Blondie, musically and visually...
I love this though, the band sounds good, Debbie looks beautiful, and sings devinely as usual...
There is nothing wrong for me in the era of The Hunter
Pablo Keyes I think it was a low time she was so hotter in 1978-1979 like I literally don’t know what happened in 1982.
Wasn't this when Chris Stein was sick?
@@colinsmith3291 Yes! I think they got to cancel the tour and Chris was sick through all 1983 too!
The 80’s was a sketchy time for many who were perfect in the 70’s & 60’s in my opinion
The Hunter is one of my favourite albums, it just gets overlooked all the time. When Blondie played War child in 2003 for the first time since 1982 and Orchid club in 2010 for the first time ever, I was so happy

2023 and Blondie still sounds good.
In this concert she makes eighties and glamour get together, something that almost no one could do.
I want Blondie from 1979 BACK!!! :(
she is so beautiful and sings with that awesome voice....
Way cool...wish i was around back then..everything was better back then..
I was a teen when this song first came out....Still loving this song. Fantastic energy.
Wished I was at this concert. Thanks for sharing
Most beatiful singer ever!
She's still so gorgeous 😍
I was 16 and seen this show at the Providence Civic Center with all the punks and New Wave kids. Her shows always had a diversity of kids. Seen her three times after that even in person
in a punk club in the 1990's She pave the way for most all the women out there today and dont let anyone say other wise. Deborah Harry the light Siouxsie Sioux the dark They were the true trend setters of our Generation and continue well beyond there years. 47 year old fan
Immortels Blondie ! Merci :)

Nicole:);)
She was born in Miami, Florida
I was 8 years old when this was recorded 💕
well he was and still is one of the greatest...i saw them live in 2006 and can vouch for him ha ha
This song is in gtavcs probably has one of the best soundtracks.
Está entre las 500 mejores músicas del mundo!!!!!
i love the way she dances!
Just love to watch Debbie shakin it up 😎
wow what a terrific voice.
She's gorgeous!
Debbie is so confident and the band are so together that this video is a definitive record of Blondie at their best. Not so sure about the intrusive trumpets !
She and Chris were on H at this stage.
Great performance despite the band heading for splitting up
Deb always delivers no matter what
Blondie is wunderful...
missing the excess of the 80s....and the music of course.
This was recorded in 1982 on Blondie's "Farewell" Tour in Toronto.
Yes it was. I saw them in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and DD did open. Not many people had MTV then in Iowa (I was one of the lucky ones) but everyone loved them.
i like how the bass played well in this song..
Excellent
Adoreeeeeeei esta pérola ❤️
I love you Blondie
omg what a voice that too live !
1982 I remember & this short haired chick takes me to the Chelsea Hotel. Wildest night of my life! WOW! We hid from boys with leather lol! I could write a book! She called San Francisco in between!

Jeff Johns what?
Cocaine is a hellavuh drug
Lost inside, adorable illusions and you cannot hide, the bullshit that you're spewing if you even tried, you're just no good, you're tweeking like ya do.
God I love this freakin' band + Debbie, I'm going to see them in January next year hopefully as a surprise for my mamma who's a mega fan :D
I love Debbie's voice.
Apart from Debbie's rather worrying appearance, the thing that stands out for me is clem burkes amazing drumming.
If you need to put a label on her "look", my friend used to call it coked out hooker
MULTUMESC ,imi place enorm...!
ooooollllaaaaa! she so so so out of this world! she had sex appeal
I LOVE HER VOICE
very cool!!!
Still listening to this song
Me gusto más esta versión en vivo, que las que hizo más joven, en esta se ve que disfruta cantar su canción
i like this song :)
This show is from the summer of 82 she was on tour
for the hunter thats why she looks like a hunter and the men
in brown jackets I was there! She was playing large arena's
and cancelled many of the shows due to low attendance.
The Hunter album never sold and Island of lost souls the single went to 37 well below a top ten single in the US.
You don't understand much, do you? This is a great performance of a great song!
I love her dance at 4:12!!

no one moving,dancing,i would have probably been the only one there going apeshit.i have always been a blondie fan and will always love their music
thanx for posting !! great song and what a woman !!!
cheers

DEBBIE!!!! LOVE YOU!!!
amen! shes amazin

O baterista dessa banda é very nice!
Lo que hace el paso del tiempo!!!! Como nos degrada y de mala manera en plural!!! Con lo guapa que era!!!

i think her physical beauty was 10,000 times better in the '78 version of this song
Wow. Rock star life must have been wild back then. Between 1978 and 1982, she appears to have aged 15 years. even her voice sounds harder.

Debbie and Blondie are a legend!One of the best bands all fuckin times!
the drummer is pretty good
lindíssima
wow i never knew the girl rocked like this on stage. Eat you're heart out Madonna
OMG - Elaine little Kicks !
Debbie harry!!!! To this day is one of the coolest women on the face of the earth. Can you image the crazy sh*t she could tell you. What John Belushi was like.

wowww shes so attractive

me too! blondie is the band name. simples.
Magic...
omg she looks older than the video from 1979!!she rulez!
Couldn't have said it better!!
COSIGN!
This is when we were all stoned on something.,Not just Debra.
...are you fucking kidding me?!?! Yeah total bad ass drumming on this tune
great music....people should take notes....lady gaga.
@ZLUGGO for sure!! in fact she was still hot in the 90s, already in her 50s (or 60s)! she aged amazingly well!
i think she looks pretty..i love her hair!!!! ^_^
I miss Frank in this.
Toronto I believe!
So cute.
Okay you Gaga haters. Wrong comments on the wrong video. Relax and enjoy the music now. :)
Eddie Martinez playing with them!!!
Why is everyone comparing her to Lady gaga.
Blondie with long hair is the hottest I have ever seen her. I love Blondie and am still hoping to see her.
@SuperBooyah123 Well not so fast,, I just saw them in concert 2 nights ago here in Costa Mesa California and she sounded great and not ony she was great but the whole band sounded great and that shows that Debbie and the band still has the magic.
