    In November 1996, when Blondie performed "The Tide Is High" live at the Night of the Proms in Rotterdam, the band was in a unique phase of their career, having reformed in the mid-1990s after an extended hiatus. This performance came shortly after the release of their 1999 album "No Exit," which marked their return to the music scene with new material. The single "Maria" from this album revitalized their popularity, reaching high chart positions in several countries. Interestingly, "The Tide Is High," originally released in 1980, showcases the band's ability to blend pop and reggae influences, making it a standout track in their catalog. This live performance highlighted Debbie Harry's enduring charisma and vocal strength, reinforcing Blondie's legacy as pioneers of new wave music and impactful cultural icons of their time.
