One Way or Another - Blondie - The Midnight Special

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

00:53 Who was the dummy director who told the control room to switch to the Disco dancers as Debbie was singing to camera?!?!?! DAMN YOU 😂

[@JDoe001]

I think it’s funny. They were trying so hard to combine punk dance and disco. I give them props for making it disturbing. 👍🏻 (Awkward 80s thumb up.)

I don't think I ever saw debbie harry look better than she did on this particular tv performance...unbelievably 🔥🔥. Women generally looked hotter in the 1970s than in any decade before or since.

[@averyfilmsstuff]

debbie is such an icon. i love her so much

[@StephanieJeanne]

Yay!! A live one!! This was great!! They were rockin here! A real treat!🤩😍

[@richalderson6069]

Debbie works that camera beautifully!

[@EricDodsonLectures]

The weird thing is the amount of camera-time they're giving to the couple in the Saranwrap outfits... when they have one of the most gorgeous and magnetic performers in the world right in front of them.

[@imranqqq7307]

Burke never fails to amaze.

[@oneanddone7992]

He was brilliant on their records.

[@doucettp]

he's still pretty good...saw them a couple years ago, and his individual performance was the best out of all of them.

[@jackal59]

He's said that he developed his over-the-top drumming style in order to fill in the sound because their playing was so anemic early on.

There’s never been a better female rock frontwoman than Debbie Harry. If she’d been on the show, they’d have called it Debbie’s Angels.

[@doucettp]

Loved this show growing up, cuz they always played live! Even at 9-10 years old, I always liked the live performances better, and there actually weren;t too many opportunities for bands to get on live TV. That's why you see clips of Bowie on the freaking Dinah Shore show, and John Lennon or Frank Zappa on Mike Douglas! And then came MTV!

[@nicklongo2939]

Life was better before autotune.

[@Kaospattern]

because people had to actually know how to sing...

[@punklyrics1]

This may be a live performance, but there is still heavy audio engineering involved, as you the listener are listening to a compressed and cleaned up version. In a studio a lot of the tracks, one of the band members may be off key or off time with an instrument, and the engineer blends it so everything is on key and on time. Also a lot of famous artists from the 70s and 80s used autotune, its just added to blend the sound of the voice better to the track than to distort. Modern music intentionally has a robotic sound to it, but autotune can be insanely subtle and to an average listener unnoticeable

[@nicklongo2939]

@@punklyrics1 Well no autotune is a digital technology that wasn't developed in until the 1990's. There was no digital signal procesing in the 1970's until the mid 1980's. What you are referring to are tape techniques done using manual adjustments. There was no automation until the late 1970s when major label recording studios installed automated mixing boards with motors that could move the sliders and multiple synchronized tape decks with variable speed controls. I'm pretty sure a weekly TV show taped live did not have the post-production budget for such efforts, although I wasn't on that set. You're thinking of studio produced LPs by bands like The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac.

I turned 5 years old in 1979🎉Sha Na Na's variety show and Midnight Special was a needed relief from all the disco shite back then. Especially from The Village People though they made an appearance on their too I think. Burt finally learned quick people wanted stripped down rock-n-roll and hard rock.
