Blondie Will play in the Netherlands somewhere in the coming weeks. Is that worth going to? What's his show like?

He will play solo acoustic. No band.
Audio samples of his latest album on [www.blondiechaplin.com]
There will be a few gigs in Germany as well.

I thought this was a thread about Debbie Harry and co.

Ever see the movie "The Birdhouse" ?

anybody has more info on his tour/shows in Europe ? Looked at official website but couldn't find anything. thank you in advance !

Why would anyone want to see a solo concert by this guy?

Because he makes great music and have done in the past as well :-)

"Between Us" is a great album that I play a lot.

I have been told by the producer that it will be an interview on Blondie's entire career and that it will be available as podcast later. Hence it will be available online.

Could you post a message and a link, when it's awailable?
My 19 year old son is a huge Beach Boys fan and I'm sure he would to hear it and so would I :-)

ok, will do!

Berlin is also on the list. The dates will be published on Blondie's website in the next few days.

Blondie said last week that he'd be playing in the Netherlands and Germany and when I asked him about other places he mentioned only the USA. And he did say the details would be appearing on his website.

that is because Blondie does not keep a diary....

September 15th in Memmingen

September 18th in Reutlingen
September 19th in Kirchheim-unter-Teck

So this guy worked with the Beach Boys...and not during a dreative period like Pet Sounds?

The fact that the Stones somehow need a backup singer/backup guitarist with a lightweight past is a disappointment. Everytime I see him playing off to the side I have to wonder how far Keith has slipped that they need a 3rd guitar on a song.

The BEACH BOYS were hardly even on 'Pet Sounds' either. It was pretty close to a Brian solo album.

blondie is a fantastic musician both unplugged and otherwise - i still enjoy his newest album

OLDKR

buffalo7478 - careful what you say, I wrote almost the same thing as you on this post and it was deleted fast.

Blondie is rumoured to jam with supportingband Undercover for some Stonestunes. Blondie joined Undercover onstage earlier this year in Nijmegen, Holland.

His album Between Us is really worth a listen. Don't underestimate his talent as a singer/songwriter.

OK, he may be talented. I can't distinguish his vocals live. I'm just not sure WHY he's in the Stones? When did they start needing an extra guitarist? When did the band get to the point that Ronnie, Keith, Darryl, Chuck, Charlie, a horn section, 2 backing vocalists and occasonally Mick on guitar couldn't provide a full live sound? (By the way I like Mick's live guitar playing...esp on Rain Come Down and Back Of My Hand).

The band sounded great when it was a 6 piece with Mick, Keith, Bill, Charlie, Stew and Taylor (and/or Ronnie). The occasional horn player worked ok too.

I'd love to see them return to the smaller line-up, and not rely on extras to fill the voids in their live sound.
