Blondie - VH-1 Behind the Music

Rating:
Summary: Lots of Great Early Footage!
Review: For my money, when it comes to Blondie, it's all about 1976-1978. These were the years when Debbie & Co. were their most interesting and free in their exploration of their craft. Whoever went digging for vintage footage for Blondie's "Behind the Music" segment did an incredible job. There is lots of 16mm color concert footage from 1977 and 1978 (presumably, much of it from the unreleased John Cassavettes/Sam Shaw documentary shot in Los Angeles in 1977). There's even a brief video segment on Wind in the Willows! The DVD differs from the program as it aired on television in that the music video segments run longer here, and the music video for the band's comeback single "Maria" is added as a bonus. This is mecca for fans of Blondie.
