Her voice....I can't believe how beautiful it is live
She(Chrissy Hynde) and her voice are both beautiful in this video.
2022
Have listened to the studio but that is the first time I ever seen that live. Kick-Ass!!!
Around 1985 here in Providence I received free tickets to the Pretenders, I knew then from MTV, never would think to see them live...they blew me away, they rocked
That is exactly what I thought about her voice in a live performance! Chrissy rocks
One of the best female singers ever existed. Incredible voice.
I agree
qqqqqqq
Ann Wilson is the best, not one of the best
Esa es una de las agrupaciones del rock que han trascendido en la historia de la música y esa es una de las canción es más hermosa yo siempre la escucho en mi móvil desde República dominicana
Pat benatar?
What a voice! No auto tune, no plugins... only talent and a place for sing... Outstanding!!
Underrated lyricist. This girl could write legendary lines.
The emotion conveyed in Hynde's vocals is stunning. The heartache is palpable.
Wondering if this song was written about James Honeyman Scott or Pete Farndon.
The last "I saw a picture of you ..." to "wretched life of a lonely heart," looks like she's fighting back emotions, compared to how calm and srene she ws the previous 2:40 .... hmmmm, hurtful. The 80's were going to be Jimmy's decade, too.
We just didn't realize how great we had it back then, We had the best music 50's 60's 70's and 80's, best musicians. Great concerts.
and the concert tickets were cheap
I'd throw the 90s in there too. Basically pre-internet and pre-smart phones.
And then one day in the early 21st century shit (aka Autotune) happened.
And 90z too lol
Now 2020 full garbage hip hop type of thing and all computer generated music
Back before social media, auto tune, and reality TV. God Bless the 80's, when you actually had to have talent to be successful.
John Cook Amen to that man!
YES!
And Back when a band was a band...
I pity kids of today. Pop music is shite, you can’t say boo to a goose and your monitored 24-7
I know right
Goddamn! I’m crying. Oh how I love this song. Chrissie KILLED IT!!!!!!!! Where has music gone? I’m not saying there’s nothing good out there today, but there will never be the glory days of music from those 40 years. The 60’s-90’s! There will never be a concert like Live Aid EVER! Coachella has had its moments, but that all ended after 2011.
sure sure
Music hasnt gone anywhere. Youre just getting old and not looking for it anymore like you did when you were young. There is a shit ton of excellent bands out there. You just dont know about them.
This amazes me, this Lady sounds better live than record.
Totally agree 100 percent what a voice …
Yeaaa❤❤❤
Chrissie great voice, those women of rock in the 80's ❤️
plays every morning on my way to work....sort of softens the blow
I saw all of this concert im so lucky she and the preteders were on at 10 am , so great what a day it was perfect 1985 lol so great
So glad I'm an 80's child! What a time to be young and alive. Things were so much better back then. No computers, no cell phones. People experiencing things together and being unified. It was great!
Had a tv staion to play radio for us in videos
@@roychapican8993 I still remember when Thriller video was premiered!
@ Derek Anderson: sadly, change isn't ALWAYS forward. Hopefully, an ajustment will be made..histiorically, that is usually true. But the net is a powerful weapon, for evil, as WELL as good...
when she sings " Those were the happiest days of my life " I get goose bumps
Instantly recognizable voice. One of the best. I’ve never heard any other voice close to hers. So good.
Agreed! And the bit starting at 2:30 never fails to give a thrill -- one of the most astonishing few seconds of vocal anywhere, to my ears (especially on the studio version with her overdubbing)...
Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs is the only vocalist with a similar tone imo
Absolutely
@@teresadvorak6145 she. Has. A. Beautiful voice. Is. She. Still. Perrty
@@teresadvorak6145 hippie. Joisa@
Todays her bday! My biggest girl crush in 50 yrs .Anyone in 2022 listening to her today??
Yup!
I'm 65 years old and becoming reconciled to the fact that I'll probably never marry Chrissie Hynde.
Hang in there -- She'll come around!
Love the optimism
A real woman.
Join the queue, mate.
I sent my proposal..returned Sad Bastard UNKOWN.
Her voice is unique!!
@@ginnywhat5777 Ohio+England
So is mine.
more like it was
@@JohnnyMacaw What do you mean by “was”? Last I heard she still sounded great.
Amazing vocal range
I appreciate her music more and more and more as I grow older.
One of the unique voices in rock, immediately recognizable. My favorite Pretenders song.
Shes awsome...what emotion. The Pretenders kicked it!....great tunes for decades to come....Soul Music!
Never get tired of this woman. Aside from being drop dead gorgeous what a great voice and band to go with her! Drums and that guitar and bass....wow.
The sort of song that separates the players from the great players
totally agree.
Great musicians are exactly that… they don’t need a studio to sound good.
Sort of CROWD
And the LYRICS to this song… timeless Shakespearean quality. “The phone, TV and the news of the world / Got in the house like a pigeon from hell “. “Like a break in the battle was your part / In the wretched life of a lonely heart”
I saw The Pretenders in the 80s then again around 2012 and Chrissie’s voice was unchanged - perfect. They are an amazing live band.
How great. My mum loved the pretenders. 🤗
In 80s i was a teenage days
There's a lot of great artist
The Pretenders one of them
I had a great time in the 80s
80s will be forever
I bought The Pretenders’ “Learning to Crawl” album when it came out… One of the best albums to come out in the 80s. Still holds up today
Outstanding.
Well I bought the self titled debut album in 1980 after seeing the poster on Johnny Fevers door on WKRP in Cinncinati
Great album start to finish
@@garyc39 KRP sold a lot of albums.
The fact that she still performs today and still has a good voice, 37yrs later, also quite remarkable.
Still gives me goose bumps after all these years.
Chrissie Hynde has a pure rock voice. Never tired of hearing her
I absolutely love this woman. She is to be compared to no one. That voice, hauntingly beautiful.
A few years ago a old friend and co worker of mine passed away. She loved the Pretenders. Whenever I listen to them I think of her. I sing, smile and get teary. RIP Sylvia 🤘❤️
Her voice, from 1985 to 2022，never changed ❤
58 years old, I live for music! Master!!! Relief for the soul.
Anyone else miss the 80’s? At least one thing during the quarantine, was able to go back and see the videos. Class of ‘88
Me😥
Class of 87🤘🏾
Class of 74.
Class of '86.
‘88
A talented strong woman
Who never had to think about being one
One of the unique players of the greatest rock and roll era in history
Awesome talent
here here 🥳🥳
Her thoughtful music/message making the world a better place
What he said!! On the money.
I agree 100 %
Pure talent, musicians enjoying their music, and sharing it with us, just the way it's supposed to be...
God I love her passion !
Que interpretación !! Una voz y grandes músicos. ❤🇨🇱 Eternos The Pretenders .
Live Aid put the best music in history all on a stage together.
An incredible, fortuitous moment in music history, brought about by a sad but galvanizing cause.
Thank you all for having done it. Incredible
I've just found the best singer I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. What a vibrato.
1985, mi primer trabajo formal en México, compré este lp en el supermercado, aun lo tengo, solo lo puse una vez en el tornamesa, para grabarlo en cassette. Está como el primer día. Y mi gusto por Pretenders me acompaña a dondequiera que he estado. Cuando muera quiero que me entierren con música de rock de los 50`s hasta los 2000`s. !Viva la vida y el rock!
Si la mejor musica para mi fue de los 70s lastima que no habia nacido y no imagine encontrar alguien de mexico aca 👀
I. Agree. Amigo
@@sito19 now. That. S sounds. Great
She truly has an amazing voice
Época boa que estávamos uma boa.musica.
This concert was utterly impossible. All that incrtedible talent, together at one time, all in one place.
Insane. Geldof is Superman.
Discovering these wonderful musics n the days of quarantine .
I saw pretender in rome in 1987 fantastic
This song is great, what a refreshing group.
Quarantine........Brought to you by the liars who rule Communist China........
An all time great song and artist ! For those lamenting the old songs I can say there are many new songs released in last 10 years that have the same power . Keep an open mind to these contemporary talented song writers.
Her voice is just like she singing on her albums. Great voice
Ai como amoooooooooo❤❤❤
Feliz demais por ter feito parte dessa geração de músicas fantásticas !!!!!!!!!!
Tivemos muito sorte 🍀👏🏻
There will never be another era like the 80s!
Ooooh yes my friend! That decade was fantastic unbelievable and unforgettable but not only for music! Culture and fashion was amazing too! You agree?
I agree. Music wise, it seems like people were being creative enough with electronic instruments, but still needed talent for it. Now, everything is electronic, talent isn’t on the forefront. Shame.
My heart aches for these days . kids these days don't know what they are missing...maybe some do...I hope !!!
Um imenso prazer ter vivido tudo isso com muita intensidade, digo com muito orgulho, tenho 49 anos, hoje olho meus sobrinhos e chego a ter pena dessas crianças e adolescentes, tempos sem alma
Favourite Pretenders song. This and _Message of love._
At the end when she sang “those were the happiest days of my life” emotional gold
The awesome days an all with no stinking internet ! Just good people !
true!
This is a fantastic performance AND a great recording. For all the tech glitches and erased material that plagued Live Aid, it’s wonderful that this exists.
Loved this song when it came out and still do all these years later. Great job band.
Loved them from when Brass in the pocket came out as a single. I got the chance to see them in concert in the 80's. It was the Get Close album tour. They were fantastic. Still a tight New Wave band. Great show!
Excellent. Chrissie's voice just hits me right in the heart ❤
Paul. You. Are definitely. 👍. Right
Anos 70 e80 foram recheado de canções maravilhosas.
What an awesome performance! Great song
Unsung masterpiece of Live Aid!
In the top group!
James Honeyman-Scott is definitely the progenitor of the Pretenders' sound but Robbie McIntosh here is equally fabulous. A testament to Chrissie's genius!
Chrissie's. Music. A. Very. Beautiful. Lady. With. A. Very. Beautiful. Voice. I. Love. The. Pretenders !!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Apresentação , simplesmente maravilhosa . Delícia de se ouvir . Dez 2019.
Beautifully done. What a unique voice. Cheers!
She paid her dues and deserves all the respect of the world.
The girl had it going on.....Great Live Band.....The Pretenders were all that and much more.....
2019. I finally saw her last yr and she's still kicking major ass
maravilhosa para o resto da vida.
I wouldn't classify myself as much of a Pretenders fan as there's only a handful of their songs I could honestly say I love, but that moment (around 2:30 in this video) where Chrissie's voice just soars into "part" is one of THE great moments in rock music in my opinion. It knocks me out every time I hear it.
Yeah, it is beautiful.
OMG YES!!!
For those who are new or only know a pair of songs , I encourage them to listen the first album, absolutely a masterpiece, the real Pretenders....... Don't forget to buy this vinyl!
Such a better era for music than today
I love the passion she sings with at the lyric" those were the happiest days of my life"
She wrote the song for James Honeyman-Scott who was the original lead guitar who died of an accidental drug overdose. She was devastated by his death and you picked up on her passion as she sings it for James.
@@888strummer I never knew that! Thank you. That makes it even more to me!
@@888strummer how you know that?... proof?
@@chrischampagne9217 She has said over the years she always liked James Honeyman-Scott the most and she was absolutely crushed when he died. The songs opening lyrics about "picture of you" referred to Ray Davies of the Kinks who she had her daughter with; but when JHS died, she has always said it changed everything and the song was a tribute for him. This website touches on it briefly as do many interviews over the years. When she talks about JHS you can see it in her

The Pretenders, their style, their front woman, their guitar sound, their beat, and their drive thank you for a of it.
Wish i went to live aid, however, got to see The Pretenders at Wembley in 2019, still sounding great!

Possibly the greatest song ever written

Well done to Chrissie H and her magnificent band. Awesome! Definitely the "happiest days of my life " going back. A real treat for those in Philadeiphia on the day, and for us on youtube years later.. Love your voice. Take care, lovely lady xxx

I saw this 10 am that day i was 14 zeppelin reunited sabbath with ozzy ?? This was still one of my favorites ?? They were great lol !!!!!
I love 💕 her music 🎵 top of the line !!! 🤗🤗🤗
How about we do this again in 2025? It was a great success in 1985 and did a lot of good for people in Ethiopia. Africa hasn't stopped needing our help, so let's do it again with the biggest artists in the world.
Saw them many years ago .
Forgotten how bloody good her voice is
What a great day that was. Twenty three years old, in the middle of one of the best summers I’ve ever had, an all day, all night party.
I saw the pretenders live around 1985 at Elland Road, Leeds, England, they were the main support for U2 on the Joshua tree tour, fantastic day
"I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart"
I can never forget these lyrics.
She looks and sounds great!
It was a brutal day that day. (38 years ago today) But well worth it. Including seeing The Pretenders. I only have my memories and a ticket stub to remind me.
She is so inspiring. This changed my life
Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders - one of the most importend New wave Bands of the 80`s...
WOW! Chrissie Hynde really sounds fantastic here. What a great performance!
Chrissie Hynde ❤️❤️❤️ The Pretenders🎶🎶🎶showww
