BLONDIE At Vega the 1 of November 2003
:
My ticket gave me access to see BLONDIE for
the third time and Debbie for the fourth time in my life! I
must be blessed to have witnessed all this (hehe) !
Although Jimmy wasn't there (only Debbie,
Clem and Chris were) this was TRULY THE best BLONDIE I have EVER seen (heard).
The band was SO happy that I could feel the joy in the music they performed !
When "Heart of glass" kicked in, the crowd went WILD !! it was
SO good to see.
Debbie had dropped some weight and looked
STUNNING, truly a BEAUTIFUL woman !
All the usual songs were there and off course a couple of the songs from the new
album as well ("Good boys", "Shake down", "Golden
rod" & "The Tingler" just to name a few)
If Blondie is showing the way to the future,
mankind is truly destined to be GREAT !

BLONDIE At Roskilde 4 of July 1999
:
At 3 P.M. Sunday afternoon BLONDIE (Picture 1, 2, 3) went
on stage at The Roskilde Festival here in Denmark.
Debbie was wearing a bright
blue skirt (She DOES "look good in
blue" !!!) and a flowery summer shirt.
The band
performed the usual songs like, "Heart of Glass",
"Call me", "Atomic", "Sunday girl"
and as you can see, my namesake (Jimmy) had a very field day !!
"No exit"
and "Maria"
was of course among the songs played and the audience just loved
every minute
of them !!
Due to the way that the festival
is organised, each band get's a time allotted and THAT'S it, Blondie
only had a little more than an hour to play in, so there wasn't
all that much of "artistic freedom" for them to play
in, all bands
had to end on time.
So when the time was up, Debbie
waved goodbye.
If Blondie's popularity is to be measured by the size of the
crowd, then Blondie has made a truly successful comeback. !!!

BLONDIE CONCERT 28 of October 1998
at VEGA in Copenhagen:
First of all I would like to apologise for the VERY POOR quality
of my pictures, something went terribly wrong with the camera.
When that's said and done let me tell you it was an experience of
a LIFETIME. My ticket
opened the door to a TRULY magnificent and magic world of music.
I think there was supposed to have been a warm-up band before
Blondie went onstage, but alas there weren't so Blondie
just stepped in and tore the roof down, in a cascade of oldies
but goodies. Heart
of glass REALLY made the audience freak out
(and me too heh heh).
Atomic, Rip her to shreds, The tide is high, In the flesh, Sunday girl,
Dreaming, Rapture, Union city blue, Call me and Hanging on the telephone
was ALL there AND IS WAS GREEEAATTTT. I NEVER thought I'd live to
see Blondie perform live, but I did and I was
simply.....OVERWHELMED by the impact of the band. Truly a UNIQUE
experience.
The forthcoming album "No exit" was represented too, by
"No exit", "Maria", "Night wind sent" and
"Dig up the conjo", not bad songs, not bad songs, the
future is looking good for the band, even though I must admit
that Debbie
has lost some of the magic in her voice, SHE'S STILL a very
magnetic personality, she looks like she could wrap you around
your fingers anytime and anyplace she wanted
to.
For those of you who haven't seen her yet, BUY the freaking
ticket AND GET GOING !!!!
