Watching her since late 70's and I still think no woman has ever had a rock moxie more than she. She's the whole package. Amazing tunes and when she sings them she takes it to a higher level. I like the celeste speaker (or out of phase) on the guitar. Really worked well.
I can't express it, but she somehow captures better than anyone that lost weekend, lost summer, bittersweet mysterious poetic late-night movie feeling where everything is poignant and beautiful and yet your soul is slowing bleeding out of you...
'When I see you sitting there It sends a shock right through me I never thought an ordinary chair Could have such poetry I don't deserve your time I haven't got the tact I live above my means in fact Oh no I'd never do that' 💜
slickest rock chick ever.! so scorchin hot.🔥 those eyes are killer..! one of my all time favorite bands... saw them for the first time at "CB GB's" in NYC in 1979. awesome show..! " UM FUG "
Her makeup, her fashion, her attitude, her voice .. everything about Chrissie Hynde is original and one of a kind. She was an accidental trailblazer in the music biz. Said she didn't want to be anyone's roll model .. too late now.
Chrissie sure can put the right words together with the right music....my favorite line cause its true comes from her song Show Me......welcome to the human race...with its wars disease and brutality.... but in the end LOVE conquers all!
I have all their albums up to and including "Get Close". Now I see this song is from "Packed" - never heard it before. It's great! So much like something they would have recorded for the "Learning To Crawl" album - back to their roots.
One of My Absolutely Favourite songs&tune by&of Chrissie, just s-o Stunning Beautyfull, Each little word She sings, And, the Way She Really Sings them...mmm...
I can't believe I hadn't seen this video before. I'm a huge pretenders fan. Underrated song -- very beautiful. Chrissie in top form. And she looks like a fashion model in this video. Wow!
"Never Do That" Let me stay One more day It would mean so much to me I won't make a sound I'll just hang around I'll sit where the last one sat But oh no I'd never do that Take my mouth as far as you can see It stretches farther than I care to think Put me out of my misery If I could keep it shut I wouldn't be in this rut With less chance than a laboratory rat Oh no I'd never do that You're a master of illusion You say you do - but you don't You think I will - I know I won'tt When I see you sitting there It sends a shock right through me I never thought an ordinary chair Could have such poetry I don't deserve your time I haven't got the tact I live above my means in fact Oh no I'd never do that I'd never do that I'd never do that I'd never do that
Let me stay One more day It would mean so much to me I won't make a sound I'll just hang around I'll sit where the last one sat But oh no I'd never do that Take my mouth as far as you can see It stretches father than I care to think Put me out of my misery If I could keep it shut I wouldn't be in this rut With less chance than a laboratory rat Oh no I'd never do that You're a master of illusion You say you do - but you don't You think I will - I know I won't When I see you sitting there It sends a shock right through me I never thought an ordinary chair Could have such poetry I don't deserve your time I haven't got the tact I live above my means in fact Oh no I'd never do that I'd never do that I'd never do that I'd never do that
Me encanta este tema. Llevaba años con la canción en la cabeza y no había manera de encontrarla...muchas gracias vertex10a, por reivindicar una canción sencilla y maravillosa, me encanta la voz de Chrissie y la melodía...
@berettadreams You are so right that this song is very reminiscent of "Chain Gang". I especially like the b/w video in Paris and the band in a cavern-like tiny hall. I had lost track of the band after their mega-success in the mid-80s but was relieved that this album showed Chrissie still had a lot to share with us. And she still does!
@@danielesteve8359 Since then (from 12 years ago, when I originally made the comment), I have. My comment was actually more of a compliment on her lyricism than a criticism of my own expression.😎
Her record company didn't promote "Packed", and they certainly didn't spend much money on this video, but I have always thought this one of Chrissie's most poignant songs. She's a "slave to love", but unlike Mr. Ferry, she has a certain degree of pain and self loathing about it. "I'll sit where the last one sat. But, oh no, I'd never do that" Yes, she will. Any wonder she covered "Creep" so well? That song's regret, self disgust, and resignation are all here.
Style, Class and the Voice of an Angel, this Band should have gone so much farther! Love their sound and she is the perfect front Lady, with Classic origin of my favorite songs!🎸🍃🌹🎶🌷🙅💝🎤✌🌻💕
Even though the album that this song is featured on ("Packed!") is officially a Pretenders album, it is really a Chrissie Hynde solo album. Chrissie used a bunch of studio musicians to record the album and called them The Pretenders so that they could tour and promote the album. Similarly, this video, even though it's officially a Pretenders video, is really a Chrissie Hynde video. The video has plenty of closeups of Chrissie as she's singing, but the only other member of the band who appears in the video is the drummer, and he's always in the background. We don't even see the guitar player during the guitar solos; whenever Chrissie isn't singing, the director cuts to scenes showing Chrissie walking around on the street somewhere, some buidlings or a carousel in an amusement park. Luckily, Chrissie Hynde is so attractive and is such a great singer that her presence alone makes the video worth watching.
Never understood why so little love has been given to Packed. It contains "How do I miss you" and "Criminal" which are 2 of her best songs, IMO. If you have not heard them, you must! People who dismiss Chrissie Hynde after her 3rd LP are small minded and unable to change with artists. When Randy Newman tells you that you are one of the best pop rock songwriters he's heard, it must mean you have some talent.
Brilliant song and the album Packed still holds up. Not sure why people thought this was awful. Got great reviews in Europe. Charles Shaar Murray gave it **** in Q!
It was banal compared to the first two original albums - full of session musicians. Fine when compared on its own. One thing can be said, a hell of lot better than GET CLOSE.
Where did you find this video. Chrisse was always my rock and roll babe but she looks unreal in this video. What a time to grow up, live life, and achieve your dreams. Great find!
To my ear, a nice tight vibrato is best, more natural sounding, but her loose vibrato, while on other singers it sounds like crap, with her voice it sounds perfect, smooth and natural, sensational.
no sabia la existencia de este video, ya que el disco Packed! fue un autentico fiasco para la buena de Chrissie. Ahora ya entiendo como oculta en el video a su guitarrista y bajista. Menos mal que rectificar es de sabios (en este caso una autentica genia) y los 4 discos siguientes sin ser una maravilla, al menos fueron dignos de una banda de rock. En cuanto a la cancion Never do that, muy flojita, muy sencilla, muy facil para lo buena compositora que es Chrissie.
Not the most interesting video... yet it's effective Not a complicated composition... yet it's soul stirring... Not very deep lyrically... yet it's arresting... This is what I always saw as that average Pretenders single from 1990 that humbly followed a decade of glory.. the less-interesting twin sister of 'Back On The Chain Gang'... However, 25 years after I recorded this video clip off the television set on some ordinary Saturday night in 1990 and now remains encapsulated on an old fuzzy VHS tape, my appreciation for this has increased. It's lady-like, it's lonely, it's pale and forgotten by most... and that's the way I like it

Totally agree my friend, she is the best.
And all these years later she still has it. Same attitude. Same swag. Just a bit older.
I can't express it, but she somehow captures better than anyone that lost weekend, lost summer, bittersweet mysterious poetic late-night movie feeling where everything is poignant and beautiful and yet your soul is slowing bleeding out of you...
Packed! was the first Pretenders album I bought when I was 19. I'm 52 now and this song still hits me.
I discover this album in a Montréal's bazar, around 1996. A master piece this single.
Es la Reina del Rock🎸🤩
Classic Pretenders, and classic Chrissie! Not sure why this song isn't more well known, its awesome!
This is an oft overlooked gem by these guys. Well played and sung. Great band...
'When I see you sitting there

Underrated single
There's something wonderful about this song! Sung by one of the most interesting vocalists in the world of recording. Like this song. Well done.
@@bobrisse9823 "Annie Lennox and she" Chrissie expects proper pronoun use.
Once again I don't know any other way to describe it, when I hear her voice I feel happy to be alive!
What an absolutely wonderful comment.
Maybe the best female voice of rock.
No maybes. She is the Big C.
Janice
¿what is at, what maybe the best...?......her the Best....
My favorite artist
@@shyba2011 Janice? Do you mean Janis? Your judgment is as poor as your spelling.
What a wonderful song by a legendary band. Very, very well done!!!
slickest rock chick ever.!
so scorchin hot.🔥
those eyes are killer..!
one of my all time favorite bands...
saw them for the first time at "CB GB's" in NYC in 1979.
awesome show..!
" UM FUG "
That is truly Epic...
"You think I will...I know I won't"...still great after 20+ years.....
Her makeup, her fashion, her attitude, her voice .. everything about Chrissie Hynde is original and one of a kind. She was an accidental trailblazer in the music biz. Said she didn't want to be anyone's roll model .. too late now.
I recently awoke to the great sounds of The Pretenders. Very talented and wonderful Chrissie Hynde.
When I see you sitting there
It sends a shock right through me
I never thought an ordinary chair
Could have such poetry
Best verse ever.
totally agree with that 👍
Chrissies vocals are just sublime,
Loved em from the off, what a truly great tune,.
Chrissie sure can put the right words together with the right music....my favorite line cause its true comes from her song Show Me......welcome to the human race...with its wars disease and brutality.... but in the end LOVE conquers all!

"Never Do That"
Let me stay
One more day
It would mean so much to me
I won't make a sound
I'll just hang around
I'll sit where the last one sat
But oh no
I'd never do that
Take my mouth as far as you can see
It stretches farther than I care to think
Put me out of my misery
If I could keep it shut
I wouldn't be in this rut
With less chance than a laboratory rat
Oh no
I'd never do that
You're a master of illusion
You say you do - but you don't
You think I will - I know I won'tt
When I see you sitting there
It sends a shock right through me
I never thought an ordinary chair
Could have such poetry
I don't deserve your time
I haven't got the tact
I live above my means in fact
Oh no
I'd never do that
I'd never do that
I'd never do that
I'd never do that

Hottest Babe Ever To Grace a Mic... I've always loved her.. I owned the Pretenders Debut cd before I even owned a cd- player.. still have it.
Let me stay

What a great tune by a great artist!
this tune makes me so happy!
***Great voice!! She looks like a model***
She looks like Melanie, like it or not. Hot !!
this song .......is classic..thanks....the Pretenders
great song !
I really like the LP "Packed". It was very under-rated at the time, as was this classic single.
I agree.. I love Packed. So many road trips with that album going.
Chrissy was da bomb. Exotic and commanding, can’t take my eyes off her. She’s purred through my life!
I love Paris and i love Chrissie!
Chrissie is great
Ludzie .To jest najlepsza rockowA wokalistka.Moim zdaniem.Cztery płyty a głos ten sam i Ona taka sama

Great album! I think it’s very underrated and sadly ignored ☹️
I saw ex Pretender Robbie McIntosh the other night, he is still making great music in his own great way.
I don't know how, but Chrissie Hynde, can always seem to articulate my feelings better than I can
Right!!!
Then practice

Her record company didn't promote "Packed", and they certainly didn't spend much money on this video, but I have always thought this one of Chrissie's most poignant songs. She's a "slave to love", but unlike Mr. Ferry, she has a certain degree of pain and self loathing about it.
"I'll sit where the last one sat. But, oh no, I'd never do that"
Yes, she will. Any wonder she covered "Creep" so well? That song's regret, self disgust, and resignation are all here.
Theman, the label probably assumed that the album stunk.
Love me some Pretenders..I remember rocking to out their first album, when I was but a chile!!
I too love this song 🎶👏😊
Style, Class and the Voice of an Angel, this Band should have gone so much farther! Love their sound and she is the perfect front Lady, with Classic origin of my favorite songs!🎸🍃🌹🎶🌷🙅💝🎤✌🌻💕
It's too bad they lost Pete Farndon and Honeyman Scott... they went pretty far though
I love this music
I Like this Song!!!
Thanks for post.

+Girardifan Was Johnny Marr one of the studio musicians? I heard he was a guitarist for them at one time.
They didn't tour for this album. Chrissie took an 8 year break from touring from 1986 to 1994 to raise her young daughters.
Chrissie explains this record's production in her book, 'Reckless: My Life As A Pretender'.
i live above my means in fact, oh now il never do that!!!
Lovely Chrissie!
THE BEST OF ROCK N ROL SONGS for the history
Brilliant footage ,I don't remember this song
She’s so excellent
Amazing
Sensacional .adoro Chrissie hyndes
My first CD I ever owned was Pretenders Debut, I didn't however own a CD player- yet !!! Still have the CD- 2020.... She's still my #1. Babe-ala.
Essa banca me trás tudo de bom dos anos 80 e 90.
Que saudade!!
What makes Chrissie think the guy would never do that ha ha!!

Better When will I see you or Millionaires
Love you C
Till its gone you don't miss it, Boy do I miss it now.
I'm in love
amazing person
Peak sexiness right here
Que buena canción, excelente cantante 👌
I'm still in love with her
Back on the chain gang.
my favorite by them
my fav female rock singer of the 80's. Penelope Houston singing lead with The Avengers is my fav female punk singer.
I really like this song. I guess maybe it did not get much play on the station I select for music. (classic rock).
Brilliant
The best!
christgau gave it an A-. great record. underrated for sure.

Maravilhosa
There seem to be quite a few Pretenders songs that sound like Back On The Chain Gang, only with different lyrics.
Where did you find this video. Chrisse was always my rock and roll babe but she looks unreal in this video. What a time to grow up, live life, and achieve your dreams. Great find!
This is One beautiful girl and back, Band 👍
To my ear, a nice tight vibrato is best, more natural sounding, but her loose vibrato, while on other singers it sounds like crap, with her voice it sounds perfect, smooth and natural, sensational.
I 2nd that!
Absolutely spot on! I hear that too! Thanks for saying it sooo well!
happy birthday
Wonderful girl
Excelente grupo y la vocalista es de excepción
