Arguably, this was the first commercially successful rap song, in the history of rap.

[@leslienagy5916]

yes it was!!!

[@diversk]

Sugarhill gang Rappers Delight was the first I remember in 1979, but agree this was the 1st widely known commercial one in 1981 x

[@tiyaht2158]

@@diversk Uhh yeah, it was Rappers Delight. Rapture isn't a rap song. It's rock with rap in it. Either way, it's still such a cool song!!! And Debbie Harry sounds so great here!!!!!!!

[@ronlemons5316]

You are absolutely right.

[@juniorjohnson9509]

First song with rap that hit #1.

[@turnerjuanitar.9265]

at her age still sound better than most younger singers still great music and an amazing lady

[@scottward6974]

Hard to believe she was 55 and still one of the sexiest women on the planet!

[@beestoe993]

One of the few Rap song's Ive ever liked in my life. The Girl really had it going on in the 80's, what a stunning beauty!

[@brainscott8198]

Clem Burke's drumming... sparkling high-hat play as usual.

[@williammacleod1569]

You are right, Clem is fantastic!

[@KittyCatFurbabiesMaria1972]

My joint fave song along with “Atomic “ ...she’s beautiful AND can sing ! Total Goddess x

[@glennbiss5588]

Outstanding performance!

[@Marboroliteman]

Great song, great performance

[@cigarmerchant2238]

Such a lasting talent, I feel like She and maybe I, have gotten better with age. Deborah owns Rap AND Punk, and She Rocks Too!!!

[@mickgatz214]

Awesome 'Raw' video. Pity about the audio quality but i'm sure someone will fix it up. Still, this raw video can never be replaced. Thank you for sharing this. ;)

[@BlondieAndBeyond]

Yes, the sound mix for tv was awful. You can barely here Paul Carbonara on guitar.

[@denisdemey9624]

Wow she was 54 here looks hot! Great song probably their best.

[@chicotheblue]

The Rap section is amazing!

When I was young, when she started rapping I hit the floor.

El primer RAP grabado en estudio lo hizo Blondie, He aquí la prueba.

[@maxfraga2883]

FOREVER Blondie!!!

[@j.c.ferrell1154]

I'd really enjoy hearing the isolated Bass track from this song, he's killing it

[@krisius1]

Rapture has one of the deadliest baselines out there

[@putinscat1208]

This is alot better than a video I saw from 1983. I'm glad she can actually hit the notes.

[@williammacleod1569]

Blonde, a great BAND!

[@anthonytindle13]

Blondie forever the blond bombshell.

[@jameswalls9468]

I wish the sound quality was better, she may have exceeded the original version !

[@TheMelanieWright]

James Walls watch the one live in NY that same year, sounds very similar with better audio

[@jameswalls9468]

@@TheMelanieWright Thank you !

[@putinscat1208]

I gotta believe the album version is enhanced. I mean who can sing like that?

[@anthonytindle13]

This. Was rap before people had heard or named lyrics rap.

[@pntbtr]

Why is this song so hot? Only Blondie could pull off that talking part of the song! 😂

[@joecampos5624]

I've never seen her dance so much

[@tonyrobles2696]

Love Blpndie And DEBORA HARRY❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rosamariasedanocaceres768]

Mi sueño cantar esta canción, el rap no es fácil.

[@hobbit5242]

She still has cute teeth.

[@SeaBassVamp]

Deborah Harry- Cool!

[@yepheth]

After decades Chris Stein has not learnt to play guitar yet. But in spite of that the band is terrific, great new arrangements almost bring that superclassic into hard rock territory. Debbie's Voice has grown up sooo deep.

[@paticalamaro]

yepheth can you elaborate a little more?

[@awesomeprunes]

Patricia García terrible solo by Chris. That's what he meant.

[@sundarmann6167]

She stirs me into a rapture

[@gbipit1]

First rapper!

[@holdemxpert]

Not only top notch but much better than the studio version

[@hayzeephantayzee]

@bagobuilder check any live videos on tv or the net. the instruments are always mixed out of balance and so if the vocals are too loud, they always sound that human touch of an eight of a note off and that's enough to make it "a mess". but you would not have noticed when being there in front of the stage. be it blondie now, 25 years ago or anyone else in any time. with this in mind, you'd realize this performance here IS top notch. (and let's not even start on auto pitch vocal effects...)

[@angelrivera323]

Beautiful woman!!!..

Very!

She's in her 70s now, and.... I'll keep my mouth shut, but damb. I'm still in love.

[@jackellsworthsavage5384]

oh my fucking god

[@roylikesitlikethat]

This song embodies rock, and rap. Yes, rap. One early white female who did rap in the 80's. I seriously think this song, would be hard for some rap singers, who can't carry a tune- but only could do the rap part of the song.

[@rojaktar3509]

Exactly

[@melloshreader]

What make of guitar is Chris Stein playing there? Anyone know?

[@tallcoolone09]

Blondie always sound great live!

[@nickwade443]

debby is the coolest!

[@TheRiceowlex]

@bagobuilder I thought she did a fabulous job !! I'm sure the 200,000 + at this concert would mostly agree.

Get on eating cars and bars you the men from mars

Still a shame they didn’t include Nigel Harrison when they reunited.

Not to mention he really went off the scale on his solo at the end. He even made that "I screwed that up" face.

Oh my God, she looks terrible....

[@aerialkate]

She was nearly sixty years old for God's sake. And for that age I don't think she looks too shabby at all. Don't forget it was probably late in the set; she would have been perspiring and the weather at outdoor festivals (especially Glastonbury) can be brutal and fuck with women's hair etc mercilessly. Be kinder to us ladies!

[@ankihansen2489]

Correction: she looks TERRIFIC!
