Hi Kidkipling. Thanks for sharing this magical little piece of history. If this was taped at CBGB’s on May 04 1977, I would have liked to have been there. This sounds raw and awesome. I especially like the drums and guitar.
I have been listening to the BAND called Blondie for over 40 years. I think this is the first time I have heard them play the blues. Not my favorite but it sounds like a live bootleg from very early on. I have heard them play many other genres, including pop, rock, Broadway, disco, rap, western cowboy music, electronic, and more.
Hola soy de chile, amante del blues, excelente interpretación de este clásico de la música Norte americana Sin embargo no puedo comparar a howlin wolf o junior wells con blondy otros tiempos. Sólo puedo decir que blondy hace una maravillosa interpretación de este tema un clásico de la música, gracias a la persona que subió este tema....
Debbie Harry showed up incognito in Camden, Maine. Attended a walk on, open mic, she performed a Debra Harry song and came in second to a Blondie impersonator?
Chris Frantz of the Talking Heads saw Ms Harry perform in a east coast club and offered her a place in his band. She said she'd just got a band & passed. Said he'd wondered where things would have gone with her singing in front.
Interesting - each of the band members trying to outdo the others, so presumably recorded while they were still gelling into the group we know and love.
Having listened to a few other cover's, The Door's, (awful) I've alway's liked the Stone's version, being the first I heard. Debbie's voice doesn't suit the song BUT the roughness of the playing does. Yes, it's pretty crappy BUT anyone who was around in the 1960's would apreciate this. I recon, The Who would of done a good version in their early day's. I was going to say, I expect this was in their PUNK period, and just noticed it was at CBGB's...... I quite like it..... Not everything HAS TO BE PERFECT.
Heart of glass was a reggae song before the producer changed it, so why be surprised that they played real music before manufactured pop, is this real or fake?
@@kamuelalee That was the Rolling Stones version of the song back in 1964. This version by Blondie was from 1977, I believe at the CBGB Club in NYC. The original was by Howlin' Wolf in 1961.
First time I ever heard this... It's fabulous...such a shame that the blues (or even its love-child, rock'n'roll!) seems to need to claim so many young, human sacrifices... a shame on those who control it, anyway, though such people don't even know the meaning of the word, apparently! ☹
This had to be in the band's early years , @ CBGB, where they could experiment any way they wanted. The record companies wouldn't allow something like this.
@@dcongdon2294 Damn, they ARE low. God seems to have a sense of humor, I guess. Poor girl did not age well, but she is still out there rocking. So, there's that...and all the wonderful timeless photos and footage of her slim and young. But, She will always be a 10 in my book for SHARING her diamond cutters with us ♥️.
It's authorship is credited to Willie Dixon, and Howlin' Wolf's early record is the standard. I'd say my favorite version is Big Mama Thornton's. They're all the real thing, the source. I love the Doors but...
@@stevegordon8474 Canned Heat never did Little Red Rooster , but they do mention a little red rooster in their song Woodstock Boogie. My favorite versions are by the Stones, followed by Sam Cooke.
