I have been saying since 1978 that Clem Burke is one of the best drummers and see.

“Shayla” is an anthem for the disenfranchised and disenchanted. She’s a hero. It’s such an underrated song. A song about empowerment.

[OceanbornAngel]

Clem Burke is the most industry unacknowledged, greatest drummer ever.

[snufpark]

Clement Burke is my favorite drummer, hands down. Instead of a lot of self-indulgent drum solos, he plays relentlessly, but always WITH the band, not against it.

[quietplease]

Possibly the greatest 8 minutes of Blondie live, ever.

[bardotte]

She almost makes me cry singing this, its one of my favourites and she makes me remember what life was like when these originally came out👄Love you Deborah 👄👄🌹

[homelifestyletv]

Brilliant. That drummer though in USB, wow.... he's

Nice upload!
From the "No Exit" tour in '99.
I was as an engineer working for the company that did the rear-screen projection for all the U.S. shows (NEC). The company gave each of us techs and sales people four tickets to each show, with backstage passes. After the Santa Barbara Bowl show, on my birthday, backstage, everyone was asking for Debbie to sign their ticket stubs. When she turned to me, I explained who I was, and that it was my birthday. I said I didn't want an autograph, but a kiss instead. She was happy to oblige!
After the show, as we were looking for a place to get a drink, we walked past the Soho on State Street, and heard live music. Who was playing? The English Beat!
We bought tickets, went in, and watched Dave and the band. The best birthday ever.
So, I've got THAT going for me, which is nice.

[naomiguest]

This has got to be one of the band’s best ever performances - on absolute fire!! 🔥

[nyerineu]

Thank you Blondie for all the great music, giving back to society and never taking yourselves so seriously...Be well all of you!

[truthfarmer]

Debbie still nailing it all these years later. No auto-frickin-tune. Jangly guitars and CLEM killin it. Never get tired of Blondie!

[robertmcdaniel]

Awesome.  Shayla/union city blues.  Don't get much better than that.

[robertmcdaniel]

Clem Burke in my opinion was one of the baddest drummers to pickup a pair of sticks. He played like a man possed.

[jlm]

Anyone still listening 2019?
DH knocking it out..

[michaelvachon]

I don't know who fascinates me more, Deborah Harry or Clem Burke!!! Love how they seamlessly transition between these two numbers.

[kzinful]

Her vocal phrasing on Shayla here is wonderous. And I side with others here on the comments, I teared up listening, its her voice.

Her Voice ❤

[kevanmericle]

I love it when they do these two songs back to back!  They are so hardcore Blondie!!!!

[acerjuglans]

I'm 53.
This is my first time hearing this gem.

[grahamcairns]

Clem Burke - fucking brilliant! Not many bands where you watch the drummer 👍

[Marchant]

Eat to the Beat is among my top 5 all-time favorite albums
