Blondie was live in concert at the Apple (formerly iTunes) Music Festival, Roundhouse, London, England on September 16, 2014, during the Blondie 4(0) Ever World Tour.

Rebel Music review: Score: 8/10. You might think someone who has been on stage for almost 40 years might feel worn out and tired; I have to admit I went to see Blondie‘s full concert at the iTunes Festival with a bias in mind that it might turn out a colorless show from a band who had nothing left to say after years of glorious music. My preconception couldn’t have been any wronger.

The American band blew me away as soon as founders Debbie Harry and Chris Stein walked on stage along with the rest of the band. The energy inside the Roundhouse was almost unsustainable as they opened with what is virtually their most popular hit, One Way Or Another, soon followed by some tracks taken from their recent double album Blondie 4(0)-Ever: Greatest Hits Deluxe Redux – Ghosts of Download.

Honestly, Blondie’s music sounds way much better live than on CD, mainly thanks to the band’s mastery and the huge contribution of heavy-banging drummer Clem Barker and latest addition Tommy Kessler, whose skills as a guitar player exceed any possible expectations.

Call Me and Maria obviously constituted some of the key moments of the show, allowing the crowd to chant and sing and dance and go wild. Yesterday’s show was further proof that Blondie has a huge fan base here in the UK, and if you had to judge a show by how much the public loved it, this would be a clean 10.

It is admirable to see a 69-year-old Debbie Harry still trying to keep it up. Still, it goes without saying that there were moments of evident vocal strife from the blond singer, who, on the other hand, compensated with great personality and stage presence. Highly recommended for a night of pure live-rock-based entertainment!
