For any comments referring to is it live or Memorex it's this simple. If you don't hear the Ronette's in the background singing "STOP" then it's live. Such a well crafted masterpiece that never received respect.
This is a superb performance. Blondie never forgot their punk roots but managed to craft brilliant hit songs aswell. It's very difficult to take your eyes of Debbie Harry because she's so charismatic.
I can truely say this is Blondie singing and playing LIVE. Debbie had a great voice live. Theres tons of stuff on here of Blondie playing live. How can a group be so iconic and not be able to play live...I mean come on guys Debbies been singing from 1965 in groups.
No way is this lip-synched. its faster then the studio version, and Debbie's phrasing is different during the "still...she knows" interlude. It's obvious the music is being played live too. the studio version had a lot of FX on it. Blondie was actually a pretty tight live band.
WoW what a lady, she really looks good while she sings and what a wild voice... I love to play this song cranked up really loud on my 1958 Mororola record player, that unit can really pump out the sound. I love ya Debbie! You Rock!
Absolutely agree -- Jimmy wrote amazing songs. I know he's split with the band, and there are issues... but DH and Jimmy were an incredible combo; she really got his songs... nobody else coulda done his stuff justice.
hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "still gives me wood" - that was funny...also, "shes definitely not wearing knickers, whooo!" i always thought that outfit made her look like a turnip.
Obviously not lip synced. Back then most studio perfomances like Shindig were lip synced for many years well into the 80's,but not a concert performance like this.
