Blondie @ Tramps - New York City, NY July 17, 1998

After re-forming in 1997 and doing a limited number of performances a more formal tour was planned in late 1998. On July 17th they made a surprise appearance at Tramps at "Joey Ramone's Cyber-Bash '98" playing a 6 song set. The complete set can be found on youtube as an average audience capture, I don't think that capture has appeared here or at least does not populate in the bot archives.

The Two Of Us capture is a major upgrade to that capture though it does miss the first two songs and "Rapture" is joined in progress. The almost 20 minutes that are here is great fun.

Thanks to Goody for his continued masterful pitch work on all our historical releases.

Thanks to "Two Of Us" for their dedication to capturing all these legendary performers and shows many heard hear for the first time, the HOURS and HOURS spent waiting in line, traveling, money on tickets as well as trusting me to be the caretaker of their life's work, our little community is indebted to you both. Also, a big thank you to my friend "fmcleanboots" for putting me in touch and laying the groundwork that has resulted in all these great releases...we've barely scratched the surface. The amount of completely uncirculated shows they taped and continue to get into my hands for release is staggering.

Artwork is included.
