Live at the BBC

This is by far one of the best live albums I have listened not only for the music itself and the band's performance that is GREAT! (I really had no idea how good Blondie was playing live) but also for the fact that this is a show played 31 years ago!!! There was no technology back then nor computer editing to record a show so crispy and bright as the way this one sounds. It is a shame that the concert on the DVD is just met halfway but still, I understand that this show was meant to be televised for an hour or so. As far as the DVD other features are concerned, the performances at the Old grey's are great! so real and natural but the Top pf the pops appereances are kind of silly but, again I understand that the show was just meant to show the bands postures (whatever band that was invited there) and not the real talent that they had. Let me remind you that when The Smiths appeared for the first time in that show Morrissey refused to go out there with playback so, instead of holding a microphone pretending that he was singing, he took a bunch of flowers and made the complete fool of himself and THAT was an icon moment for them... and judging by the way Blondie used to play live I'm sure that they were not very happy with that either. Awesome concert from a band I already liked for their studio work but, now I wish I had lived the days where I could see them playing live this way. A must have for fans and for music collectors.

came fast good shows cd and dvd both sound great!

Another wonderful addition to my music.

I'm an original Blondie fan.First 4 albums.I saw Blondie summer of 79 in L.A.Great show.The Dvd footage of Blondie is supper cool especially songs from their second and third albums.However the New Years eve 1979 material is not as good as I hoped.Some of songs where re-arranged and the over sound and vocals were sub-par.Therefore I will not use the CD much.It was still worth it for 1/2 of the DVD I loved.

Although I was six years old when this concert took place, it still is one heck of a live set. I own the  PICTURE THIS LIVE:ESSENTIAL BLONDIE  live album as well as the  Blondie Live  album and I must say that like the other two live sets, I was not let down. This set also comes with an additional DVD with live performances from Top Of the Pops as well as the New Years eve concert at the Apollo Theatre in Glascow, Scotland.Both CD and DVD capture Blondie at their best. Here are the songs I frequently listen to:  The Hardest Part , Victor (2001 Digital Remaster) , Seven Rooms Of Gloom (Live) (2001 Digital Remaster) , Slow Motion (2001 Digital Remaster)  , Atomic (2001 Digital Remaster) , Picture This Live , Slow Motion (Live) , I Feel Good ( James Brown cover) and  One Way Or Another (2001 - Remaster) . The DVD further enhances the experience because you can actually see the band performing the songs.This is a great live set

This is a first rate cd/dvd collection!First disc is the full complete classic New years Eve Glasgow show of December 31st 1979 remastered and sounding better than any of the other bootlegs out there. Next THE BEST PART OF THE COLLECTION is the DVD. All of Blondie's BBC appearances are gathered here looking crisp and new fresh from the 70's. The Old grey Whistle test (Fan Mail, Detroit 442, and Presence Dear), The top of the Pops and the full televised special of Blondie's New Years Eve 1979 Glasgow show!The only thing I didn't like was that the original audio track for "Denis" on top of the Pops was not used and the original Single version was sused instead which still looks and sounds nice but Debbie Harry's vocal retake made special just for the show is missing here and the Old grey Whistle Test from 1978 is in monaural or Mono sound in stead of stereo.but all in all this is a fantastic set for any Blondie fanatic!!!!!

Can’t listen to to it enough. I found this concert on YouTube but I had to own it and be able to play it in my car and download it to my phone. I love the whole band but Debbie’s voice and Clem’s drums are just perfect.

This entire DVD is excellent. The live 38 minutes of footage is a standout....perfect lighting, sound, stage direction, and especially minimal audience visual/audio interference. The real Debbie (seventies) with a lot of Clem Burke, deservedly so. Also the videos are perfection.

Reçu en parfaite condition.

Absolutely Brilliant cd...great concert..all her hits...Fabulous clear quality and a concert that keeps going and going with hits galore. I loved it...just let it play as I relaxed and felt like I was there. Super buy

Dit item kwam goed verpakt aan binnen de gestelde tijd. Ik had deze opname al eens gezien op de BBC, en zocht er al een poosje naar. Voor liefhebbers van Debbie en BLONDIE zeker aan te bevelen. Grtn Wilhelm,NL

Una banda legendaria que brilla de manera especial cuando es en vivo, un encanto ver a Debbie Harry en su apogeo con la banda.

D 'excellentes versions des classiques avec un son et un enregistrement que je trouve très très moyen et qui peine à justifier le prix . Dommage …
