Thumbs up Blondie/Garbage concert review

I have always been a casual fan of Blondie but never saw them live. I did see one of their concerts on HBO around 1982 during the time HBO filmed all those concerts including Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. Garbage opened the show and sounded really good. Although they were extremely skimpy in playing their hits and only played a few at the end of their set.
Blondie was sensational. Debbie Harry looks and sounds great for 72. She can almost hit every high note that she used to be able to do. They opened up with One way or another and just exploded on stage. Blondie was always part punk sound and live they are off the chain. Their guitarists really buzz. Debbie came out with 2 fuzzy bees on her head along with a cape that read on the back "Stop F*cking with the planet." Their latest album is called Pollinator and Debbie is an environmentalist and cares about the bees. The set list was the perfect match between all their giant hits and new songs. Their live sound is so explosive and Debbie sounded almost like it was 1978. She even could still rap at age 72. They closed the set with Heart of Glass, The Tide is High and Dreaming. My highlights were Call Me and Rapture. I used to own both those 45's (you millennials don't know what those are).
Always remember Dreaming is still free!
If you have a chance to check out this tour, definitely do it!
I saw the show at the Hollywood, FL Hard Rock Casino. Nice venue and it was mostly full. Great perk was free parking at the casino. Very cool!
