Blondie no exit live


Overview

The album was recorded during Blondie's successful 1998-99 comeback tour in support of their latest album No Exit and features all their best-known songs, including "Atomic", "The Tide Is High", "Call Me" and "Heart of Glass", as well as the 1999 UK #1 "Maria". The last track on the album is a manipulated live version of the song "One Way or Another" with the audience noise removed which was used as a theme song for an American comedy-drama television series Snoops.

The UK edition of the album was renamed as Livid and released on April 25, 2000. It featured the actual live version of "One Way or Another" instead of 'Snoops' Theme version.

The album was also released on DVD twice, the first time in 1999 by Beyond Records and in 2005 by EV Classics. The DVD edition captures the band filmed live on stage on February 23, 1999 at New York's Town Hall for their first hometown gig in 17 years, kicking off their 1999 US tour. The track listing of 2005 release is identical, however the running order is different.
