Well, I should have done some checking prior to uploading it again! After looking this morning online, I saw that as of November 2010, over a year after my first upload of the show, this was being put on an official release slated to be sold. Dang!!! Due to this, I have removed the links here so as to not be breaking the copyright laws and causing myself any problems. One good thing for those interested in the show is that it can be officially bought and it is the complete show too.
I'm sorry for any problems this may have caused anyone but I cannot afford to be sued or have any legal problems over something this simple (or stupid on my part)!
Here's a Blondie show from New Year's Eve 1979 a few have requested lately. I'd shared it 5 years ago but a lot has changed (mainly the links and services) since then.
I first really "heard" Blondie in 1980. I'd likely heard her on the radio prior to that, but I found an 8-track tape of her in 1980 and fell in love with her voice. I wasn't allowed to listen to rock 'n' roll as a kid so I missed out (back then) on a lot of great artists and had to sneak around to finally start listening to the music I loved. My dad actually found my first Blondie cassette tape and smashed it against a brick wall. When he came across the Blondie 8-track tape, he used a Roberts R7 (I think that's the model...been to long ago) reel-to-reel recorder with and 8-track port to record over it. Today, I own that Roberts reel-to-reel recorder and things area lot different. I think this is half the reason I love music, and especially the late 1960's - early 1980's music, so much. The other half is that it was just excellent music!
Enough about me. Here's the details!

The last song. "Sunday Girl", is only 3 minutes, 6 seconds long and the credits start rolling right before the song fades out and the program ends. I could've used the standard DVD burner's menu, but instead I decided to just make this a put in and play DVD with no menu. If I ever build another DVD project out of this I'll add a menu.
There was some confusion the first time I uploaded this DVD as to whether or no it was from the officially released 1979 Apollo Theatre DVD. It isn't. That show was from March of 1979, and while I don't have it, the TV program noted that this show was on December 31st, 1979 before it began airing.
I think Blondie and her whole band were at their prime in this time period. Her voice is flawless and the music, while still having some disco types of sound (I never liked disco and never will) in some songs, was much more rock 'n' roll sounding with guitar, keyboards, drums, and the likes.
I hope you enjoy the superb Blondie performance from almost 35 years ago ...
