Dynamic February 1, 2003
Reunion concert recordings of Blondie after a solo period of their singer Deborah Harry. The band is at their best. They play the old hits as well as newer material. My favourite songs are „Dreaming", „Hanging On The Telephone", „Screaming Skin", „Atomic", „Forgive And Forget", and so on, thus actually all of them together. These concert recordings are also available on video. However, I even more like the video „Blondie Live" of the former last concert before their split.

I recently went to a Blondie concert and i liked it so much i thought i would buy this CD. The first thing that you notice which is better than perhaps the studio recorded versions is that there is just so much atmosphere and feeling on each song which makes it so much more enjoyable to listen to.
You also notice however that the songs quite often don't always sound totally like the ones you recognise as they are live versions this may put some people off but i think if you are a real fan of Blondie you will love them. If your a first time buyer of Blondie perhaps this is not the CD to buy and i would suggest getting the Greatest hits CD instead.
The majority of the hits are on here. I think the songs "Dreaming" and "Hanging On The Telephone" sound particularly good live.
You will here lots of cheering and short intorductions of songs by Deborah Harry during this CD and you will really think your at a concert of hers when you are listening to it.
Most of the songs are recorded in late 1998 to about mid 1999 and are recorded at various venues such as the Lyceum London, House Of Blues Las Vegas, Town Hall New York City, 1999 Glastonbury Festival and the Riviera Theater Chicago. So if you went to see her at any of these places during late 1998 to mid 1999 you should get this CD for good memories.
The versions of "Atomic" and "The Tide Is High" sound a lot different than on the other albums and it is worth getting just to see how different the songs can sound.
It is a shame there is no songs from the Plastic Letters and The Hunter album on here as there were some good songs on those albums such as "Denis", "Fan Mail", "For Your Eyes Only" and "Island OF Lost Souls" that are not included on this. There is also no "Union City Blue" which is such a great song and without question should have been on here.
But if you want a bit of classic pop with a bit of life to it then buy his album because you won't be dissapointed.
