Chambers is a great drummer! And Hynde has one of the greatest voices in Rock male or female. They have not lost a step! They still sound great! I’m so pleased that’s the case. These two new players seem very sharp too! I’m glad the fire 🔥 is still burning! The passion is still alive. Fantastic!

Chrissie Hynde is definitely the star of the show and all Pretenders shows but I'll always love the fact that she prefers to be a band member rather than a solo artist.

ahhh damn great memories of being a kid...on the cusp of adolescence...songs like this letting us know what's up. Chrissie sang this sexy af! 😍 Always dug the guitar counterpoint interplay on this one. 🎸 A bit of punk, bit of lowkey skate thrash...grunge before it was a thing! Wonder what she used to get that gritty dirty good guitar sound...

Chrissie! When I saw and heard the first Pretenders record, I bowed in reverence and humility and gave up my dream of fronting my own rock band, cuz she did it exactly how I would have done it and she was way, wayy better at it than I could ever be. And that was fine, she was awesome then and she still is (and I found another career, one I'm much better suited to, lol!) I will always be grateful I had the good sense to go see them back in 1981, and got to see Honeyman-Scott up close. He was an amazing player and he was so damn cute! He is very much missed, still, That show also holds the record in my life for "loudest concert I ever attended"--this was in Pittsburgh, at the Stanley Theater. The acoustics in that place were spectacular, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. But it was still great, cuz I was with my first ex-husband, and it was so loud I couldn't hear a thing he had to say (no doubt he was whining about it--his idea of "payback" for this night out was to insist I accompany him to see Hank Williams Jr a few months later, in the same venue UGH!)

Maple Leaf Ballroom in Toronto, 1981. Journalism student. Snuck in a Pentax K1000 camera, 50mm lens. Great night, steamy, heaving atmosphere. Got great shots. Published next day in the Toronto Sun with Jonathan Gross' review of the show. First time published. Still gettin' it done with cameras. Still listening to this great band.

I think Jimmy and Pete would approve of this, it's an inspired version with a similar attitude of the original but it lacks that "Something"...RIP Mr. Honeyman-Scott and Mr. Farndon.
@frankabler 3 жыл бұрын
The bass needs to be turned way up here. Pete's bass dominated this song. James and Pete played off of each other on this song. Each was trying to outdo the other. At least turn the bass up.

This song makes me giddy with a longing for a love I've only felt twice in my life. Some would say i should be glad for that... to have been fortunate enough to lie in the arms of mutual adoration, passion and compassion...not once but twice! I guess thats better than it gets. But still, the whirlwind i feel at the bridge ("me and you, every night, every day...") lifts me to younger days with a young, sun freckled heart rising to heights high enough to burst out of my chest. Now all I feel are the drying tears of nostalgia.

not even close to the original pretenders from 1979 to 1981 or 82....i mean the guitarist can't play the final lead so she had to get a good flat pedal steel guitar player....Honeyman would play that on conventional electric guitar . sad he and original bassist Farndon died way too early . only the good die young as the saying goes....

Like Chrissy said at their HOF induction, the Pretenders wouldn't be there without Honeyman and Farndon, but it's possible that, without the Pretenders, Honeyman and Farndon might still be there.
