How fucking awesome was that?????
I was almost seventeen & life couldn’t have been sweeter..oh to be back there again what I wouldn’t give..😎👍
Me too❤
CBGB, Max's, Chelsea Hotel, Mercer, Patti, Lou, Dolls & BLONDIE... oh what a time!!
Amen to that! Blonde was my hero and I dressed exactly like her.
Debbie Harry a rock legend paying tribute to another great Marc Bolan and his mythical T-REX this era of music was one of the greatest of all time...
The year 1979 should just be called Blondie ! Debbie is beyond awesome here !
Época boa.
Damn cool to see something "new" from Blondie that's 40 years old!
exactly . and great band lineup at this point of the band.
@ted ritola Not quite 41. Two months to go. Debbie singing Marc's song, two great performers.
You've got to wonder if she ever thought she would still be gigging 40 years later....
Old, indeed. I would be 10 years old when this was recorded.
@@ronedwards9599 I was 9 years old
No pyrotechnics, no lasers, , no props , didn't need to make a show. They were the show , just raw and in your face . Love it..
Meanwhile I was STILL thinking
And off her face in the best way ever... proper live and as was extended version
Well they did have CLEM
Nothing wrong with using that stuff either
and No smart phones to ruin the night.
Hey Mr. T REX, Are you checking this out? 2023 & still sounds great!!! 🎉
His name was Marc Bolan, check him out.
@@ronniew3229 Yes indeed. "Get it on" Retitled in the United States- "Bang a Gong" 🎼-Mr.Bolan..👍..
You know he's no longer occupying the earthly realm, right? 🙂
@@MariaMexican Mr. Bolan: I don't want to grow up, I want to be a 🪨-⭐-For "ETERNITY"..🎼..💫..
T rex version much better
July 1 Debbie will be 78 years old... She's the Greatest Blonde that ever Rocked
agree and Stevie Nick's
Both, equally, differently stunning and wonderfully the same temperature of hot!
So much for today's Pop singers. Harry had it all.
Whoa Debbie.. your hotness is so welcome these days in the hotless 2020's
This was the raw gritty stuff you had to go to the concerts & clubs to hear. Never heard on the mainstream radio of the day.
TH-cam, TikTok and tv talent(?) shows have done away with all that. They want instant stardom now, not tramping round the pub/club circuit, sadly.
@@flipper2392 I work part time in the periphery of the music industry. & yeah I meet that group. The post modern studio performers. Mostly I meet or work with musicians that prefer and thrive on live shows, the clubs, bars, coffeehouses, college parties, outdoor shows, festivals. The advantage of audience feed back is there and these musicians are open to the benefit of interaction with the live audience
Blondie was post-punk... which, to my mind, is basically just punks who got really good at playing and performing (image is important too) ;)
BTW: Debbie Harry going on the Muppet Show and singing Rainbow Connection... Peak cool
Yes. Growing up, I'd only ever heard Disco Blondie on the radio.
This band ROCKS with cherry on top, inimitable BLONDIE ❤️💎❤️💎❤️💎❤️💎❤️💎
I was at this concert...was my 22 and B-Day...I don't quite remember who was with me really...but I do remember my car broke down 3 times getting there...lol...but once we did..so much fun!!! Much love for Blondie!!! A staple in my late teens and early twenties!!! TY for all the good times in NY & NJ !!!
Love it Belle
Thanks
That’s amazing 🥰👏🏽✨
@@Danny-mx8rb you're very welcome!!! ✌️
@@nmg6248 It was!!! 😊✌️
Belle. I remember driving to a Gig, to see Ritchie Blackmore`s Rainbow and it was so Foggy you couldn`t see more than 20 feet in front of you. We ended up sitting on top of the pile of Boxes that all the Speakers and Amps came out of. Security came to get us down. It was still a great night though. Happy Days 👍🎸✌️
Using the same icons will bring together the generations. THis is geat music.
What a cover of this classic
Outstanding! This and her duet with Kermit singing The Rainbow Connection truly puts her in the upper pantheon of Rock Goddesses.
Listening to that duet makes me cry.
Also look for the video of her demonstrating how to do the Pogo.
Two (2) interlacing guitars, a bass, drums, and a smoking-hot singer. That will never, ever stop working. -C
please never change. you are a force of nature that has yet to have been comprehendable.
Blondie were a pretty tight band, and Debbie was the icing on the cake !
I saw Blondie back around this time and although I wasn't expecting much they played a great set and brought the house down. And while Debi was and is a great performer the thing I remember most was Clem Burke's incredibly energetic drumming . Those were the days
Having just seen them at Glastonbury(about 4th time I've seen em?). Debbie still performs incredibly ( maybe she doesn't have the range but gets round it by 'playing' with the songs, like here tbh!) . But yeah, that Clem Burke drumming, wow!
Clem Burke was the reason I started playing drum set.
I was there and saw them live about ten times over the decades in NYC and NJ. They ALWAYS put on a fantastic show and had a great time doing it!
Youse guys all look wasted, lol! Ludes coke and grass; good times!
Lucky you !
Now THAT was fun. I miss it.
"Is it my imagination or have I finally found something worth living for"
Mannn.. All these years gone, I'm 60 yrs old I still falling in love with Deb Harry. Clem Burke is one the best drummers I had ever seen.
Well, we're still alive!
@@FestusBro breathing, but dead, brain dead.
Remember this 24 year old looking cutie was actually 34 years old in 1979! Mesmerising!
Atomic. Best in class. She is at the top of the shortest list covering this iconic song.
I had a big Blondie thing going for quite a while but that was when I had access to acid .
Debbie was certainly the hottest and sexiest female rock singer through the 70s and 80s
Bullshit. Quatro over all!
@BoneyMB quattro was hot allright but not to the standards Debbie was
@@petejones879 Sure, she was well above Debbie. She was real rock girl. With her, Quatro's, distinctive voice, Debbie are not even close to.
Longtime Blondie fan ever since I heard "Attack of the Giant Ants" and I had NO idea this existed.
Thank you, a thousand times, thank you.
I forgot about that one...good fun
I was there and the sound was Great !🎵🎵
Where was this?
@@Alexander_2525 Asbury Park N.J.
I'm glad I saw this before I died .
Are you still with us ?
Loved Bolan, love Blondie, love this version! Get it On with me anytime Debbie!
th-cam.com/play/PLSz-KxGjCLJqQxkV5M7AiWQwLhvIoTgkW.html&si=UV935BZpI2uTP_3u
What an exit!! When you're Blondie, you can do most anything you want. They were just having fun here.
Brilliant love her
The greatest most beautiful artist ever!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤
I can just look at this over and over again
Saw her last year at almost age 75. Still awesome. She was my college (1978-1982) crush!
Debbie singin' here like an alley cat...and that's a good thing.
ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCCES EVER OMG THIS IS AMAZIIIING
Damn this sounds great. Debra...oh my❤
Her name is Deborah.
One of the best places to see a concert. I was 15 at this show, Jesus it was almost too much to watch her.
Did you Ever recover? Boundary stretching stuff here!
15!!! Should be fkn illegal!
Those Punks can play some Boogie Woogie!
Would have loved to have been at that show. Remember buying a Blonde album and thinking Debbie Harry was so beautiful. Long live New Wave. That was such fun, creative time when commercialism wasn't the most important thing.
New Wave was grreeaatt...it bridged the gap between disco/pop and rock...everyone could party and dance and have a great time
Plastic Letters, Blondie's 2nd Album was my first purchase, then I bought the first release and continued on to the entire collection!
They weren't new wave...punk ,pop
I’m reading her memoir now. Absolutely riveting for this Jersey chick. Can’t believe this was down the shore in AP ! Wish I went to this show SO badly....
Best Blondie live performance I have ever seen.
? Looks and acts wasted and high. Of key and beat.
you must be an auto tune lover @@jesse75 🤣
@@MrMikeC53 no. Just a musician before Cher started using that thing.
@@MrMikeC53 Blonde is a doll. Saw her in the 70's. She flashed her hairless clam in concert.
She is amazing, with the best band.
Wow...didn't think anything could top the original version!
you were right.
@@notanother7396 I agree.
With all respect to Blondie who are a great band, this is not their finest hour. A rough jam version and nowhere near to standing up to the T Rex version
@@paulspence9944
You obviously never saw Marc Bolin live , he kinda sucked !
@@paulspence9944 It's perfect. They're just goofing off.
What a seriously incredible band they were. So much talent across the board.
Absolutely!
Well this made me happy.
Never seen this before, love it! Combination of DH’s cool delivery and Clem on drums. How could it not fail!
I think you mean "how could it not succeed" - I too had not seen this before. Ragged and gritty true live performance!
I'm still in love with Blondie, I started to listen to her back in the mid 70's when I was in the Navy and all of my friends who were R&R only started to appreciate her music. I went to a Disco in France and everyone was dancing to her music!!!
Blondie's not her. It's a Band!
@@wayneelliott7011 good to let him know her name is "Debbie" Deborah Harry, I can't recall her middle name but it's conventional and cute, imo.
If you want to see Debbie Harry with the muppets, just type Debbie Harry muppets in the dialogue box,
Kermit AND Debbie Harry! Most Excellent! Karl
@@wayneelliott7011 thank you
So since the 70's you've she was Blondie?
Hardcore fan.
that's about as good as it can get ever again .. rock on folks !!
Like it, everyone has fun, Blondie jumping like happy kid 🤹🏼♀️
Loved every moment of this classic clip, this is around when great music was around.
Convention Hall right on the water great venue at the time.
Miss Debbie is lit here, and that's what was so great about the 70's: unpolished, dirty, get--down music.
Dirty but still not trash, like sold out females of pop music now, she looks insolent and confident, like a man can be, but with incontested sex appeal of a woman ad she is classy though, that was real pure feminism and it came from punk..
lyes lamrani I remember seeing her walk down the street when I started working for d.s. in NYC back in nineteen ninety we were the only two people on that twenty's numbers Chelsey street on a cloudy spring morning at first I was going to climb out of the street sweeper I was driving and at least say hello but I changed my mind decided to respect. Her privacy so I just tried to take a couple of good looks and keep going she was one of the most attractive woman I have ever seen in my life that was fifteen years before this tape. The way she looks here could this be her hard core days at least she cleaned herself up well
Best tribute to being a Marc Bolan fan from New Jersey -- in New Jersey -- ever!
th-cam.com/play/PLSz-KxGjCLJqQxkV5M7AiWQwLhvIoTgkW.html&si=UV935BZpI2uTP_3u
Never heard this version before _ Love it Raw
She always looked like she was having fun with the act, even when she was doing the smouldering type of performance. Stunning.
she had it all, including notes of mental illness
Crafty, chasing all the red and gold and green.
Absolutely, smoldering and fun!
@@fredflintstone1547 ruuý⁶⁶6
Thats my Sister in the 70's, love her❤❤❤
I was 19 when this was shown, jeez didn’t she look great. Still does❤️❤️👏👏
She's just so good at any song she performs. One of the greatest musical talents of all time. A master vocalist and entertainer among the finest.
And very sweet and humble in person as well! She will always be an inspiration and a one-of-a-generation talent.
@@OhClaire714 Absolutely. I'm not surprised she's sweet and humble. I get that vibe Kelley that just comes through; unlike today's talentless whatever they are. I got to see Blondie in concert in 1997 at the Universal Amphitheater (now long gone) and Debbie and the guys were amazing. Still are today. This (later section of the '70s) rendition is a fresh take on the T Rex classic while still being faithful to it. Thanks Kelley.
Agree 100% Paul, and really can't add anything except to say I love her too. She rocks, pun intended!
Blows Joan Jett away totally and much better looking
nothing like a cute blondie !!!!
I was at this show. So glad that thus got posted
Pure raw Blondie. And Debbie is just sweating pure awesome, here.
@3:35 such an incredible stage presence Go Debbie.
💖Debra saw her in78 some one gave me a real picture of her she's really gorgeous and always will be...she rocks this song!!!
In their prime! She was a beautiful girl. Band was superb. Great video. And Clem...Peace. Jeff T. PGH PA
One of the most physically attractive women to have lived IMO. Not a tattoo or piercing to be seen. She didn't demand respect, she EARNED it. Modern "women" should take a fuckin' lesson.
Modern women with masses of tatoos not a feminine look
I went across the river to NYC to see her plenty of times, Nice to have her come here. I'm still in love with her.
Love Debbie. Thank you for what you do.
Love you Deb
Back in the day this was their encore (as this is)...so awesome.
Fvcken LOVE me some T Rec!! This was my 3rd bday thanks Blondie YOU RRROCK!!! ❤️
Over thirty years ago I remember my version . Get it on pack a bong get it on . I never seen this version .
I think Marc was banging a gong, but your version has much truth to it.
She was my hero since 1979.
It's a treat to love her.
Thanks Debbie
How cool!! I would have loved to see this exact show and this cover being performed! What awesome energy!!
Outstanding!
My favourite song performed by my favourite girl ❤️❤️❤️!
1979, what a year, Blondie was our desire❤
What, the 5 men and one woman?😀
@ 😂
1979 I was 17 years old this band was the best
Eu também tinha17.
Wow, I couldn't stop watching this !
One of the few bands qualified to cover this tune
So this is a cover?
@@mbsthecomeup5396 yes! the original song is by T.rex written and composed by the amazing Marc Bolan!
@@mbsthecomeup5396 it was their encore when they did clubs dates
Power Station is best
@@Osnosisthat IS a good one. Heard it on Sirius XM about a year ago. Good memories.
Dam freakin awesome !! 😎
exceptionel, unbelievable
Marc Bolan never died
💯 Didn't know this existed 👍👍👍👍
Great song, makes me wonder what other great songs we missed out on due to Marc's untimely departure.
Sadly he was long washed up by the time he departed although he was trying to put his demons to rest
Michael McLoughlin
This is a revelation , this is the first time I've heard Blondie do
this song,shes got the whole place jumping. I bet Marc Bolan would love this performance.
I don't think he would .
Always in love with her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never heard this before!! Love it!!
Blondie was just a very Slick, Hip Chick!!!! Long live the original BLONDE AMBITION!!! And let's NOT forget that the boys in the band had the Musical chops to really ROCK too!!!
Blonde is the Band. Debbie Harry is the singer.
A great rendition. I love remakes.
Convention Hall Asbury Park in the 70's
We saw so many great shows there
Best and sexiest performance by Debbie ever! I finally got to see her in concert this year and at 69 she was still hot!
H-O-T -Hot!
She always has been a goddess
Uh huhuh you said 69!
Yes! But as one gets older,It gets harder to keep fresh.
@@drlock978 speak for yourself, dude.
Me soul for a time machine 💓💥
What a perfect song for them to do.
Bang a Gong by TRex was my jam...

I was at this show, years later met Debbie and Chris at their accountants office while it was still under construction, Bert Podell was his name. Hi guys it's Eddie the electrician.
Edward: Like a bug-on-the-wall!!!
@@Hezzey Sorry I don't understand your comment. But Blondie is still one of my favorite bands.
@@edwardcarloni6356 "Bug on the wall" is a figure of speech, It is idiomatic. It means "You Got To See It", and"You Were There!"
*_That is, a good memory, you were there!_*
Peace to you!
Yes, Blondie is a memory for me, Was a great band. I am getting old now. .....
.....
@@Hezzey same here going on 62 myself. I still have the autographs from Chris and Debbie in my scrapbook. The punk scene in NYC was a great time to be alive
I love when Debbie does the marching in place thing.
T Rex, y'all. One of Ringo's fave songs!
th-cam.com/play/PLSz-KxGjCLJqQxkV5M7AiWQwLhvIoTgkW.html&si=UV935BZpI2uTP_3u
What a class act these guys were !
She is the coolest chick ever 😎😎
Loving the black and white video!
