Blondie - Maria 1999 "NYC" Live Video HQ

[@africanblue]

Best thing about this: It‘s actually live! No lysync, no pre-recording, no bullshit.

[@Generacionconspiranoica]

is lip-sync dumb fuck

[@ukaszysakowski-jh9iy]

THAT'S TRUE!!!❤❤👍💪

Stunning voice, great performance.

Clem Burke was the engine. Check out dreaming.

He still is.

[@michaelrivera4929]

Clem does more drumming in one song than most drummers do on an entire album. True godfather of punk rock drumming! And still killing it today!

[@1MrErling]

indeed - one of the best

[@koolz4094]

Pay attention little girls !! This is a rock-n-roll punk singer ! This is how it's done ! Period .

[@steffenjonda8283]

Well, the little girls should let out all the alcohol and drug abuse and her other "escapades", if they want to be healthy and clean :D But othewise - i agree. A real star, no build up plastic bi1ch of modern times... Debbie Harry WAS Lady Punk.

[@gcg2366]

You are correct! Blondie a Charismatic genius. And so perfect how she can switch from perfectly calm to lunatic mode. There will never be another Debbie.

[@JulioJustiniano]

Props to the sound guy. Everything is crystal clear and balanced. Not to mention the reverb is absolutely perfect on the chorus.

[@jonarmstrong9595]

totally - its perfect

The difficulty is balancing it for the live show AND the recording.

Reverb?

[@robw7676]

Debbie Harry had more stage presence in her 50s stood stock still with her hand on her hip than most singers will ever have at the absolute peak of their career.

[@rddavies]

Truth.

[@johngerson7335]

Noticed that too. Just walked back and stood there, and still "held the stage". She's amazing.

[@marks2731]

Yes. Saw then live, she was just there singing, no dancing about required, amazing.

By far this is my favorite live "Maria" performace I love her ♥

[@MrStanleyMilton]

I agree. Awesome, spine chilling....ATTITUDE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

[@thomassperduti4500]

Absolutely!

[@feralferret]

@@shyba2011 Sounds great to me! Especially on the "(go insane) and out of your mind" parts.

[@feralferret]

@@shyba2011 I'm a sound engineer, and "sound quality" generally refers to the recording, not her voice. Sounds like a balanced mix to me, and no major compression artefacts. And no, it wasn't a wise crack. Those lines she sings kick in the saturation in the mix via the side-chain, sounds great. Seems you missed the goal by some several football pitches.

[@alanray7983]

Her voice sounds as good as ever. Love her music!

[@danthemanoftheland]

I love this version. The way she steps back for the band to play, then walks to the mike, sings, steps back. That's class and respect for everyone in the band. Then the last run up front to jerk those final beats out! Still leaving it all on stage!

[@rogerkay8603]

Yep, pure class that.

[@doddsy799]

[@GlowingBentley]

Seems to have mellowed just a bit.

[@johnmanning5568]

@@GlowingBentleywell it has been 50 years!

[@2haardcore]

The majority of singers begin singing high notes in a lower octave later in their careers or alternatively as playback, which is understandable as the voice often changes as you get older. Debbie did neither, she sang everything herself without any gimmicks and that’s why this live recording is INSANE😳 Long live Debbie Harry.

[@mc2mc277]

One of the BEST ‘comeback” singles ever.

[@silentdiys6615]

How can you not love blondie?

[@J.Smits1991]

What a voice, what a woman...

[@macarchers]

UHM I SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT MARISKA VERES

[@JonMatt62]

Deb is 54 here and just sounds incredible. Her voice-range, tone, phrasing just kept improving after Blondie’s initial break up in 1982. Give a listen to her work with the Jazz Passengers in the 90’s; just wonderful. And that Clem Burke 😍

[@Realest636]

On a superficial level she looks really good for 54. Not young, but like a grown up good looking, if that makes sense.

[@fredericliance6455]

❤️powerfull Debbie!!!😋

[@Maribel-l8c]

Está fue una de las mujeres más hermosas de los cantantes .

[@Maribel-l8c]

Está canción fue un exitoo

[@pastxmas]

A singer's voice is at its richest and fullest when they hit their 50's. It's why this is my favorite performance of this. Her voice was at its absolute peak and the Jazz Passengers stuff is a perfect example.

[@166293]

That bell sends an already fantastic song into stratosphere 💥💫

[@lolitaa7760]

Her voice is just so insane😳 it’s perfect

[@thinman8621]

She choreographed thousands of performances. Beyond talented. This performance was near perfect.

[@charlycolis9811]

Stevie Knicks, Blondie, Joan Jett, and regretfully, I say Pat Benatar . Despite the fact her daughter's are duck lip " social influences " despite their mothers fight to be heard. Such a shame.

[@bisligrill]

Thats an incredible vocal performance

[@ellavaderknows]

That's a strong voice, right there. You definitely can tell she's learned years of vocal tricks.

She took care of herself, she only got fat once, I remember then she got it together (therapy I think) and lost weight and back jamming. This is a lesson to Americans stop eating that garbage food take care of your body and you'll always be beautiful, Blondie is 77 and still hot! When I was a kid in the 80s I had a crush on her 🎶

[@timoflea8417]

Deborah Harry is a most ravenously beautiful, sensuous being in form and presence, possessing an absolutely marvelous voice and that unique style which defies labels. Yet, when you see her, you know instantly this is Blondie, and there is only one like her in the whole wide world, and there will always be only one, the one and only Deborah Harry.

[@mauricecarrillo1159]

[@manuelfernandez6441]

"María" es una canción de la banda estadounidense Blondie. Escrita por el tecladista Jimmy Destri, esta canción marcó el regreso de la banda a las pistas en 1998 con su disco No Exit, luego de 15 años fuera del ambito musical.Se dice que Destri escribió esta canción inspirandose en la relación amorosa que tuvo el baterista Clem Burke con la actriz Regina Russell, especialmente con la actitud de soberbia y "diva" que manifestaba Regina a los demás. Esta canción fue todo un éxito, llegando a ser el sexto numero 1 que consigue la banda en el Reino Unido, desde que "Heart of Glass" lo lograra en 1979. En Estados Unidos la cosa fue diferente, ya que el single solo llegó al puesto #82 en el Billboard Hot 100 chart.Además gracias a "Maria", la cantante Debbie Harry llegó al libro Guinness de los Records por ser la cantante más madura (tenia 53 años en ese tiempo) de la historia en conseguir un número uno en las listas de éxitos de UK . (97.637 vist.)

Debbie Harry really is one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time. She really knows how to use her voice to stunning effect and this song is a perfect illustration of that; the sly stance and creamy tonality she stakes out in the verses and then her soaring, emphatic command in the verses--it's a masterful display of knowing exactly when and what to do. She positively makes you believe Maria is the most glorious girl you've ever encountered. What a persuasive and dynamic performance. It's a horrid shame Top 40 didn't get on board with this track. It was totally deserving of mainstream success.

[@johnnymossville]

Maria,.. you've gotta see her,.... When she hits those notes they go right through you like a subway train. Incredible. Her voice got even better over time.

[@NiriParra]

[@nachomagallanico]

i'm 38 years old rocker, so for me was during my teenage years during the 90's that I discovered Blondie in MTV with this song. I was a grunge/metal boy back then and I hooked up with this song immediately, there were only a few 50 years old rockers in the front of the scene with fresh music in the air, and Blondie was one of them, a few years later I discovered as I was growing as a rocker that those old guys from blondie were just freaking legends. And what can you say about that huuuuuuuuuge front woman....Debbie is just timeless, there's only a few people that can inspire such a seductive aura in both genders, and in rock&roll we love that kind of aura.....in the male counterpart I can think of both JimMorrison and Michael Hutchence, Debbie is defenetly the queen in that regard....that combination of beauty, danger and attitude that so haunting.

[@Geannleite]

I was shocked to learn that Maria peaked at #82 on Billboard. At least it seems to be a minor classic. People still like Maria after a couple decades, unlike most songs that have been forgotten by now.

[@xelexpunx]

Amigo, como todo lo increible en esta vida. ;)

[@ukyo2010]

To be clear, I think "Maria" is a minor classic. People, including me, still enjoy it 20+ years later. So I was shocked to learn that it peaked at only #82 on Billboard. I would have bet money that it was top 20 if not top 10 on the charts. I guess I am an old f*rt.

[@teijaflink2226]

This is a song that doesn't age and is as good as when it was reliesed. But I think it would have been a bigger hit in the 70s or 80s.

@@ukyo2010 it's a worldwide hit though. US can suck ass. not everything is about their charts. bad romance, thriller weren't #1 in the US billboard but they're WW hits and classic songs. also a popular korean film also used maria as their themesong and had Korean version.

I only learned recently that Maria was released in 1999 (I assume it was recorded not much earlier). I was amazed and impressed to learn that.
