If the Pretenders don't get you moving, you don't have a pulse. Chrissie continues to be a wonderful artist and so interesting to hear during interviews. She and Martin Chambers are truly rock-n-roll legends. Her bass player and lead guitarist are excellent too. 👍👍👍👍👍
@@audiophileman7047 Martins sideburns are legendary. Chrissy sounds and looks the same the last 40 years. It's a tragedy how they lost a half of the band after the second album,speedball is a killer
At the time of this concert this beautiful lady was 66 years old she is truly amazing and what a voice. What a career so many fantastic songs and still working hard a new album and tour announced for 2024. Love you Chrissie.

She’s from Akron, Ohio as are Devo! She worked as a waitress and was a fan of the British Invasion. So somehow she decides to pursue a career as a singer and songwriter and moves to London! I don’t know where she got the gumption to do it but she had the incredible voice which made it all possible. Plus she wrote good songs that fit her vocals perfectly. The rest is history after she put together the Pretenders and their brilliant debut album riding the Punk New Wave explosion that occurred in the late Seventies. The result was a hit album and headlined tours. Then Two original members died. She carriered on. And wrote more hits and kept going! The rest is history! HOF for sure!
I am also from Akron, Cuyahoga Falls and have followed Crissie from there. We were all trying to eecape NE Ohio because of rubber, steel and all factories closed and moved out devastating Ohio economy. Crissie moving to London had a relationship with Dave or Ray Davies of the Kinks which I'm sure set her carrear confidence wise
One of the best concerts I went to was Pretender's and B-52’s in Portland Oregon. Christie Hinds open up the show and says to the crowd 10 years ago they would be opening up for me. Both shows were great.
The Pretenders were probably the most exciting band to come along at the tail end of the 70s ( 1979). Great music from the start although the band was beset by tragedy, they continued with drummer Martin Chambers joining Chrissie Hynde as the two original members. The band is in top form at Austin City Limits, the best music show in the history of television.
I've had a 20 year crush on Chrissy since I first saw her. Maybe some day I'll tell her. Her magnificent voice hasn't changed a bit. She used to wear this black hat with glitter on it when she really got in the mood. I think I'd ask her to keep it on.
Wow, good job Chrissie for staying alive, love you and your tunes a lot. You got some good pipes. Very cool you got Martin playing drums. So sorry for your loss of the the band members early on. Your band mates here on bass and guitar, fantastic. Love the classic Pretenders songs. And I apologize for for hollering vulgar language at the Twin Cities show back in the 80's, I was a little high. Take care and rock on!
1980. That first album was so so important to me, my friends, my life. They took a big mis-step by releasing the EP BEFORE the second album. Talk of the Town was one of the gems , but because it was on the EP first , it took some of the lustre off LP number 2. By the time the 3rd LP came out - they lost me.
CHRISSIE HYNDE= U.S.A. ROYALTY FAN SINCE DAY 1# GREAT SONG WRITER!! READ HER BOOK📖 RECKLESS I SAW THE BAND AT THE MAYO IN JERSEY ON 4-2-2018.SHE EVEN SIGNED MY BOOK😃
You know, when she says balsam is the best rock drummer, one is inclined to think she was being serious. No one drummer is, but he really is incredibly good. It may be that he is consistently this impressive which makes gigging so much easier for a band. It's just a shame that every band isn't this tight playing live.
Then the memory of that Ax. , it was beautiful. As the drummer solo ‘ d He don’t pretend. >. He rocked right in the middle of road Come on baby. LoL Some performers A. R. E Unforgettable!
No se si vayas a traducir esto, fui a tu pagina y que encontre, eres la verdura en caldo (Es groseria alabandote) Buenas bandas,valio la pena encontrarte, gracias,.Saludos
For me it was always Chrissie talking about love and showing no positive facial or any emotion at all. Chrissie laughing is out of character. She can perform how she likes of course. She was always about aloofness and distain. But I did like the video.
if the drummer just could at least try to do the original drum pattern to start message of love please , playing the tom pattern straight is not how it went !
Seriously? Fired for what? Is there something in particular that sounds wrong or was he spotted in a maga hat? I’m listening on headphones and it sounds great!

Saw them at the Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ in 1982? The ushers kept telling my friends and I to sit back in our seats.We couldn't do it.Sorry.

@@Semprini537 All drug abuse is a waste of time. Drugs rob your money, your health, and your soul. Sadly, The Pretenders learned this the hard way. 😢
These new band members are definitely doing their homework!👍🏻🎸
I fell in love with her in 1978 when I was 17. In 2024 I’m still in love.
Excellent! Chrissie still sounds amazing, and this lineup is fantastic (second only to the original four). Thanks for uploading.

Her voice is as clear and bright as when she was 20! Glad to see she's still rockin' it. 💙

Her autobiography, "Reckless" is a good read. I recommend it.
She's on backup vocals on Chris Speddings Hurt album 1977!

One of kind voice & the band. > 👍🏻
I really enjoyed this video…. Unapologetically preformed 👤.
Love her.....middle of the road
merci Alexandre pour cette vidéo.
1983 favorite band. Drew the name on my notebooks when I was in school.

I have a crush on her too, and for longer that you, man
Does that mean I win?? LOL
World=class front woman and guitarist, holy smokes
The Pretender's are definately Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees..
James is an amazing guitar player..!!!
James Walbourne is amazing! what a sound and play the perfect parts!!
I will always love Chrissy for her kindness to my friend Rush…..
At 66 she looks and sounds great I love the pretenders

Hottest, bad ass , rocking chick in R&R…Great songwriting, great vocals, great players, and she’s The It Girl !
Excellent !!! Très bon live!!!! Que de souvenirs !!!
I saw them at the Pinkpop Festival in June of ‘84. Had just turned 18. Great show, great memories!
NO CONOZCO A NINGÚN ARTISTA QUE HAYA EVOLUCIONADO TAN POSITIVAMENTE Y EN TODOS LOS ASPECTOS COMO LA GRAN CHRISSIE HYNDE .
She is one of the greatest bandleaders ever.
Simply, the Best!
FANTÁSTICO !! 💥🍀🍀🍀🍀💥
Don't get me wrong, but Don't Get Me Wrong was performance perfection.
Dang me. I thought I seen everything even going back to Raul's and ClubFoot. How did I miss this???? Ain't going to lie, The Skunks still rule!!!
Luv ya Chrissie!❤

Ahh yes…Martin Balsam on drums. Incredible!
Maybe Martin Chambers?
@@jublaim Yes...exactly. Martin Balsam was an Academy Award-winning character actor who died over 30 years ago!
😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I agree to disagree for Blonde fuc&%_^/ing blows...
THE END 😂
Butch Trucks -
Then the memory of that
Ax. , it was beautiful. As the drummer solo ‘ d He don’t pretend. >. He rocked right in the middle of road
Come on baby.
LoL
Some performers
A. R. E
Unforgettable!
Awesome Band, Chrissie is a queen, Martin such a great Drummer and james and the bass player are amazing!
51:04 I was never a fan of this band, but I agree with her here about MTV. After hearing and seeing this video my opinion of this band has changed.
Great band ever Chrissie is the female rock incarnation i'm fan since the first album i was sixteen 🤩
She's the Best!!!
Amazing
Wow. Chrissie sounds exactly the same as she did in 1981.
Saw them in London 1981. This is like the Stones if the Stones were still them.
Great band and performance ❤
The Pretenders are fantastic!
Chrisy Hynde is amazing?
I love this band. I'm not Pretending.

Such a voice.

🍀🍀🍀
And a pedal steel guitar 🙂
Roughly at 42:10 Chrissie being herself. Audience member, "I love you so much!" Chrissie "This is not a time for Love"
WOW!
Ma quanto sei bbona! 😍 Sophia Loren versione rock 🤘
❤
O My Goodness
did not know pretenders had this in them cool
Pretender,singular
Best
Just curious... the drummer seems to be playing behind a plexiglass screen... is there a reason for that ?
Reduces noise on stage. Mainly for the players on the stage.
@@paulwortman483 Thanks for the reply.
I think on a small stage you want to limit interference between instruments. The audio engineer can control the mix more precisely.
In case somebody throws tomatoes or something....
It's called a sound garden.
Great show, except for the dork at the end!
Origial drummer makes such a diff.
Tattooed Love Boys, Kid???
Why is the drummer behind glass or plastic?
So he can hear HIS monitor only and also blocks the sound from bass and guitar amps.
Shes shy
Never got the appeal?
For me it was always Chrissie talking about love and showing no positive facial or any emotion at all. Chrissie laughing is out of character. She can perform how she likes of course. She was always about aloofness and distain. But I did like the video.
if the drummer just could at least try to do the original drum pattern to start message of love please , playing the tom pattern straight is not how it went !
"Chrissy Hynde is still HOT!!" "Aloha from Hawai"i!!"
The sound guy should be fired
Seriously? Fired for what? Is there something in particular that sounds wrong or was he spotted in a maga hat? I’m listening on headphones and it sounds great!
@@barrym2112 thnx for the tip. let me try better headphones and see...your maga hat comment had me rolling 😂
they're pretending to be the pretenders.
Dude has horrible guitar tone
I beg to differ
Chryssie Hyde is every mans dream
♥️
