Blondie have been touring mostly festivals and outside venues this summer, and this was the first time I’d seen them outside. After a good evening racing the entire, very full, crowd stayed to watch a fantastic performance by Blondie. At 66, Debbie I’m sure is getting better and better and Debbie and Chris in particular looked to be much more animated than usual, having a great time. Clem as usual was mad but brilliant on the drums. One of the best performances I’ve seen from them!
I tried to take a little clip of video from each song on my phone but the microphone was too sensitive and it’s all distorted. I’m going to have a go at cleaning it up, but I took my proper camera and below are pictures taken throughout the evening, and a short video I took with the camera, the sound is OK on this.

- – Union City Blue (Eat to the Beat, 1979)
