  The live recording of Blondie performing "Maria" at The Town Hall in New York City on November 30, 1998, is a significant moment in the band's career as it marked their comeback era in the late 1990s. This performance occurred shortly after they released their album "No Exit" in 1999, which was their first studio album in over a decade since "The Hunter" in 1982. "No Exit" saw the band experimenting with a blend of pop, punk, and new wave sounds, with "Maria" becoming a notable hit that helped re-establish their presence in the music scene. During this period, Blondie was celebrated not only for their music but also for their iconic status in the punk and rock scenes, with Deborah Harry continuing to be a defining figure of the band. The live performance showcases their enduring energy and connection with the audience, reflecting their legacy while embracing a new chapter of creativity.
