Blondie / WA, USA 04.24.2004 Soundboard Edition

A rare, high-quality stereo soundboard recording has surfaced from the Seattle show of the “Phasm 8 U.S. Spring 2004 Tour,” which took place roughly six months after the release of *The Curse of Blondie*—the band’s eighth album and their first in four years (following *No Exit*, which had marked their return after a 17-year hiatus). This recording captures the concert held on April 24, 2004, at The Showbox in Seattle, Washington—a venue with a capacity of approximately 1,150. Although it is a “rough mix” soundboard recording taken directly from the mixing console, the audio quality is clear and stable, boasting a wide dynamic range and prominent, crisp vocals. The setlist offers a comprehensive overview of their career, featuring familiar hits such as “Atomic” (the opener, from their fourth album *Eat to the Beat*), “Dreaming” (also from *Eat to the Beat*), “Maria” (which had topped the UK charts for the first time in 19 years), their debut single “X Offender,” the smash hit “Heart of Glass” (from *Parallel Lines*), and the 1980 hit “Call Me,” alongside seven tracks from the then-new album *The Curse of Blondie*. Listeners can fully enjoy a superb performance that showcases the astonishing vocal prowess and expressive depth Debbie had developed over the years!
