Except for a few seconds for a tape flip just after Heart of Glass, this is Blondie's full show at the intimate Leroy Theater. I've never been in there, heard it's a nice place for a concert. This show has the feel of a club show, not alot of crowd noise, and the taper had a good seat for this, pretty clean
sound for a 1979 Blondie audience tape, I'd say, on the tour of the album after 78's Parallel Lines which produced many of their biggest hits. Heart of Glass was a current hit of this time, not my favorite Blondie song but it sounds all right in this set. Debby and the band sound in very good form, tight and having
fun. At the time of this concert I still thought Blondie was some sort of cheesy pop perversion, wondering if Robert Fripp joined them to record "Fade Away and Radiate" (in 78, on Parallel Lines disc) for some musical reason I did not fathom, or simply because Debra Harry was quite hot looking at this time, but a close friend of mine really liked them alot (also Elvis Costello) and that rubbed off some on me. Another friend of mine liked them enough to record them twice, with my recorder- this show and Orpheum Boston from 6/29/79. I always thought Blondie belongs in a dance club somewhere, they're very good for that. This was probably around the height of their popularity too, even though larger venues followed for "atomic", many see that as the atomic bomb of Blondie's career musically. I think this was the last really good Blondie tour. 78 was my favorite but I was still being broken into Blondie's sound then, so I didn't even bother to keep the Paradise 78 broadcast tape. I think I gave the master to a friend, something I rarely do with any master without at least copying it.
Pawtucket, R.I. is probably best known for being home of McCoy Stadium, where the MLB Boston Red Sox top-level (AAA) minor league "Pawsox" team plays their home games. As is needed for a good pro team, the Pawsox are pretty good too, and have reaped very ripe fruits lately for their parent club for which Boston Red Sox fans are very happy to see (like Jacoby Ellsbury, Jonathan Papelbon, Dustin Pedroia, Brandon Moss and now Texas Ranger outfielder David Murphy all fine recent examples of that.)
