"I'm gonna make you notice me" A very special example of Chrissie's raw talent and ability to capture the audience, totally. By the end of this great song, she had everyone in the palm of her hand. Talent, charisma, sultry beauty voice and the ability to combine them all in a song makes this a very special, unique example of Chrissie's talent. Surprised there's not 20 million views...
And she was 44 years old during this performance. How many 44 year old women have you seen over the years who have that amount of attitude and sassiness? She was totally kick ass in this performance.
"She IS blessed with natural talent and looks. She moved from Ohio to London and becomes a Female Rock Icon. I’m still a fan after all this time!" Fixed! With all due respect to Dyn Jarren.
Man, Woman it shouldn’t matter. She’s is a legend and wrote some of the best iconic songs in rock. Pretenders have always held their own. The band has gone through so many up’s and extremely low’s and came out the other side and spoke to a generation...🎶😎🎶
@@dianainclan2021 The death of the outstanding, sonically unique guitarist James Honeyman-Scott and having to release Bassist Pete Farndon due to drug issues. To lose both, particularly James, to drug overdoses after they released their second album would have caused most people to call it quits. Because of Chrissie's fortitude and determination, The Pretenders still carried on and continued to make quality albums. In fact, to this day Chrissie's still going strong at nearly 70 years old. A truly amazing, talented, and strong Woman.
This is such a great song. I especially love how it uses an unexpected chord and low bass note on the part "Nobody else here". Superb performance ang excellent live vocal. An inspiration for today's musicians.
This lady is the real deal of Rock. She's got everything that makes her one of the leading Ladys of Rock and Roll. Dont ever count her out. Love seeing her kick it with this song.
I love her voice and music. Brass in Pocket has always been my favorite as a child. She is so inspiring and because of her I always had a dream to be on stage like that presenting my music. ❣️
Saw the Pretenders back in ‘85 in Gainesville Fl. They were awesome...the drummer did this thing where he’d send drumsticks sailing out into the audience...Chrissie was just as amazing then as she is here.What a great band.
I remember seeing this when it first aired and being shocked at how good it was. The Pretenders hadn't really been on my radar screen at the time. I can't believe it was 26 years ago! Her look and moves here remind me of the late Christina Amphlett of DiVinyls, But Chrissie is her own woman. Huge talent.
Love Love Love this!!! Was in love with Chrissie as a teenager and she has aged like fine wine. And as others have mentioned she was 44 at this time killed it!! Who would have known the tough kick ass rocker chick had moves that rivaled any pop stars of the time... Missed this when it came out more reason to love her a true all around talent and person... Thanks for posting!!!
The pretenders Chrissie hynde her voice is perfect a very sultry voice unique the rhythm of this particular song the band is there in harmoy I will listen to this song forever Rock on The pretenders 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶😜🐈🎵😜🎵🎶🎵🎶
I'm that now...I'm doing fine...didn't ruin my body with drugs etc so yeah you dont age if you take care of yourself. But yeah I saw her couple three years ago in upstate NY festival, she looked the same really and sounded awesome. Chrissie never lost her hardcore...
Holy moly. How have I never seen her without the guitar and the tomboyish outfits, getting all sultry here instead, and totally pulling it off! Her attitude made me fall in love with her in the early 80s. But I never saw her like this. Wow. What a powerhouse.
Nothing sexier than a rocking gal with a hell of a voice, great body, good character and morals, sense of humor and love of fun, and an active and smart brain!
I noticed! This is the first time that I had seen this. Just wow. I never saw her this way, I had seen her as a tough woman, cute and talented, great voice and songwriter, but this surprised me.
She wrote it with James Honeyman Scott. I'm just guessing; perhaps she has embraced it as one of her signature songs, out of respect for Scott. I've always loved it too, one of my favourites. Even the official video here on TH-cam.
This girl was one of my first crushes. I was in elementary school when this song came out, and I knew that not only did I like the song, I truly though she was a sultry goddess.
No one like me..... now if everybody would stop thinking how great others are and realize this!!!! An absolutely powerful emotional song and "bring the house down performance!!" Watching her brought tears to my eyes it was so good!!!
Besides being a fantastic song... How great is it when we get to really hear the artists performing, and not lip syncing to a studio recording? And thanks for posting this, without recording over the audio with the studio recording (like so many other people do, and they ruin the videos).
Holy shee-yit did I have such a huuuuuge crush on Chrissie Hynde back when I was in my pre-teens and teens in the '80s -- such a talented singer and songwriter, she!
She has the self confidence of a girl who has always been pretty. Although she kind of tried to cover it up, she is very good-looking and has a great "figure". And a fantastic songwriter. Hard to beat that combination.
She's also had to face disasters that would have terminated most bands, notably the brutal loss in 1982 of half the original group to drug addiction, just at the point when they seemed to be heading for a great third album (Learning to Crawl, two years later, did come out good, but a very different kind of album!). I think the mix of vulnerability and grit in her voice is a big part of her attraction as a singer (it's heard in the way she phrases high notes and tone-bends: "I've been driving /Detroit leaning", "but what can I doooo?") After all, when she set out in the 1970s it was practically unheard of to have a rock band captained by a lady - there were some female singer-songwriters of course (Joni Mitchell, Melanie etc) but they very rarely kept a permanent band built to last over several years. I'm sure she's met lots of people trying to take advantage of her in various ways...
I wish I had been in the front row of the audience at those Awards when at 2.15 she daintily turned her back to the crowd and bent forward quickly, wow those legs, outstanding.
This is what I miss about music these days. I do listen to all kind of the music playing on the radio nowadays but nothing had so far influenced me or IMFHO consider any one of them worthy to be remembered as classics. Sigh!

One of the best tunes by one of the best bands ever.
One of my top 10 favorite songs of all time. God bless you all.

at leaset 20 views are mine lol.
They were mesmerized, silent. Amazing!
Not to mention that four foot wide stride.
Pure poetry, man, . . . pure poetry. " I want to haaave your affection . . . GIVE IT TO MEEEE!"
I saw them is concert in Florida years ago and they sang this for there first song and there last song. They were great. God bless you all.
So absolutely timeless!!! When it came out I was about 14 y.o., now almost 54, I am playing this song. Until my dying day... Rock on!
Same here
Indeed...
Yup 😎
Are you still alive!?
Yes Sir!@@louio
She was blessed with natural talent and looks. She moved from Ohio to London and becomes a Female Rock Icon. I’m still a fan after all this time!
Her mannerisms are very British too.
She could of been a model heat legs 🦵
Me too...

Chrissie never let all the tragedy and other setbacks keep her from moving on. She's still rockin' to this day. One of the all time greats!
What tragedy? What happened to her

One of the most remarkable voices in music.
This is such a great song. I especially love how it uses an unexpected chord and low bass note on the part "Nobody else here". Superb performance ang excellent live vocal. An inspiration for today's musicians.
Yes it’s a difficult song to learn I’m just learning the guitar

I love her voice and music. Brass in Pocket has always been my favorite as a child. She is so inspiring and because of her I always had a dream to be on stage like that presenting my music. ❣️
I was 14 years old, in boarding school in Canada and so in love with Chrissie Hynde 😍
I'm almost 56 and the love never died
Her voice is the truth of Rock that she graciously shares with us. I never get tired of it... :)
A Queen
One of the best front-women I have ever seen...Chrissie killed it.....
Fretless99 the best chrissie
She's one of the greatest
She is special.
@@briansemple1334 She so special!
Can only agree! She has been a great artist and role model too. Love her!
THE absolute best Chrissie Hynde video in existence. I'm also speechless. Wow!
I concur ☮🥰
She was insanely sexy in this performance. Age 44, I believe, and she crushed it.
Wow. Special is a gross understatement of her greatness. 🔥🔥🔥
Have always loved this band and Chrissie, awww, forgettaboutit!
Saw the Pretenders back in ‘85 in Gainesville Fl.
They were awesome...the drummer did this thing where he’d send drumsticks sailing out into the audience...Chrissie was just as amazing then as she is here.What a great band.
She sure could wear those high-heeled boots! What a talent she still is today. Her voice is one of my favorites from female vocalists.
I remember seeing this when it first aired and being shocked at how good it was. The Pretenders hadn't really been on my radar screen at the time. I can't believe it was 26 years ago! Her look and moves here remind me of the late Christina Amphlett of DiVinyls, But Chrissie is her own woman. Huge talent.
Thats the total package. She is amazing.
Fantastic. Love her voice and songwriting. First time I've seen her without her guitar. Singing & dancing ! :)
This woman = greatness. She is wearing a loofa on her head and she's still rocking.
a loofa! OMG! I am LMAO!!! Laura Tanner: yous crazy!
L O L
what is loofa?
It does look like a loofa, and she totally pulls it off, Laura Tanner.
Loofah
She is so Badass and what a Voice and style like no other

Chrissie Hynde rocks! Love love love her and all she encompasses. Rock on, RockStar, rock on!
Fantastic! In a skirt? Whoa! Love it Chrissie....She is special, so special. Love her.... such a great in your face song!
If Melania Trump dyed her hair black, they could pass as twins.
@@gr.vo.3058 If Melanie died, she could pass as wife.
Gr. Vo. Huh? Ah hell no bruh! I think you need a new pair of glasses or something dude.
Without a doubt,the best rock performance of all time
Well done Chrissie😳💣🧨💥🤩😍
Totally smashed it!!
What a voice and oh, what a pair of pins!!!
This girl is like wine...
Just gets better and better.
Everyone loves Chrissy, right?
John, your comment was the best one yet!
Chrissie Hynde was 44 here - WOW!
Looks like she was hitting the gym back then.
Elle est toujours aussi belle .
I want to sin when I see her!
Just what do mean "44?"
I'm that now...I'm doing fine...didn't ruin my body with drugs etc so yeah you dont age if you take care of yourself. But yeah I saw her couple three years ago in upstate NY festival, she looked the same really and sounded awesome.
Chrissie never lost her hardcore...
When people sing from their heart. This is her own feeling put into the words that come out sultry sexxxxaaay!!!!!!

Insanely hot performance……those legs!…..wow.!😎
Love that growl in her voice. She has my attention.
th-cam.com/video/uyU39LbzCFY/w-d-xo.html
Just like in this version! Growwwwl!
I noticed! This is the first time that I had seen this. Just wow. I never saw her this way, I had seen her as a tough woman, cute and talented, great voice and songwriter, but this surprised me.
GREAT performance!
Sounded JUST like the studio version!!!
I grew up listening to this group. And, Chrissie is a natural beautiful woman.
sencillamente GENIAL. Cada movimiento y gesto encaja con la letra de la canción. Es una DIOSA.
I had a crush on Chrissie and Joan Jett back in the 80s..but I gotta give Chrissie the edge.. she can definitely sing.
Cool. Both kinda manly but hey!
Used to have a crush on Blondie back in the day.
Joan's a rug muncher - you won't be able to get that
@@Amhlair 😂
didnt we all
Chrissie says in her autobiography that she never really liked this song; I've always loved it.
She wrote it with James Honeyman Scott. I'm just guessing; perhaps she has embraced it as one of her signature songs, out of respect for Scott.
I've always loved it too, one of my favourites. Even the official video here on TH-cam.
She's a lyrical super genius. Her poetic style is complimented by the band's musicality. "When can I tell?"
She's still AMAZING 😘🥰
This girl was one of my first crushes. I was in elementary school when this song came out, and I knew that not only did I like the song, I truly though she was a sultry goddess.
My fav Pretenders song!!
I saw them perform at William and Mary College, while I was stationed in Virginia in the mid 80s.
Omg, me too, I was there all 16 yrs of me.
She is something else. Have had a huge crush on her for years plus she’s one of my musical heroes. Brilliant.
To you current female artists this is how its done watch and learn.
This goes right over their heads.
For sure! That’s how a real rocker chick should do it!
If they can!! Lol
now a days its about looks and auto tune .
@@1Imrichard and in some cases...the ‘looks’ is a bit suspect too 🤦♂️🤦♂️
No one like me..... now if everybody would stop thinking how great others are and realize this!!!! An absolutely powerful emotional song and "bring the house down performance!!" Watching her brought tears to my eyes it was so good!!!
One of the best singers ever !!..;)
Besides being a fantastic song...
How great is it when we get to really hear the artists performing, and not lip syncing to a studio recording?
And thanks for posting this, without recording over the audio with the studio recording (like so many other people do, and they ruin the videos).
Love this girls sultry vocals and would have loved being up front !
Unique, beautiful and the one and only Chrissie Hynde. She smashed that one!!
Those pins!!!
I Love You Chrissy💖
魂を揺さぶられる名曲、色褪せない❗
Yup, this is a great version of the song live - sometimes they 'race' it (stage speed) but this is a little more laid back. Really good
Her performance is the definition of stage presence.
She's the best, she sure as hell killed it
...this little-publicized performance was probably the best Chrissie Hynde video ever recorded IMHO. She never looked or sounded better.
2019 ... playing ♡
You are undoubtedly “So Special ”. Love it. Love you.
Chrissie is a talent that is so underrated!☮🥰🎸
Great song 🥰🥰🥰
I just fell in love with Chrissy all over again!
Chrissie rockin her mesh bath sponge headgear at the fashion awards. One of a kind Hynde🖤💖🖤
Taken aback by the skirt. Love u Chris
That's a fantastic performance from Chrissie. Special one of a kind voice. Just love her.
Rare to hear an authentic live performance these days
Nice. Always one of my favorite bands love you Chrissy and the band
Wow. This is one The Pretenders vid, I have never seen. And now I have and it was great
SHE'S JUST DELIGHTFUL. ONE OF MY TEENAGE CRUSHES. ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Qué buena canción... rockerasa .. me encanta!!!!
She’s got a great attitude! I love her attitude! She’s real.
Chrissy Hinds is like Benjamin Orr they both had great great unique voices that you could identify after 2 notes. They just used their style.
Agreed. Ben Orr had a wonderful timeless voice, and loads of presence too. The band never stopped missing him.
She is a QUEEN @🎙🎸😘🎶🎼🎵
She's always had my attention, even now..2019. No Babe like her, always will...................................
I love this song and she’s got the moves love the outfit and boots you go girl 5 22 19 👍
SHE IS A TALENTED GIFTED BLESSED NATURAL BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ✌️👍🍀👋🏿😎
This move at 1:55 makes me think of Pippi Longstocking in that old movie.
Martin Chambers is one of those drummers that makes it happen!

sensuous , defiant , soulful , deep , smoky + beautiful + She still got The Look

very unique voice
And her voice today at the age of 62 it's just as strong and unique as it always has been one of the greatest voices and female rock
Todd Lavigne c'est clair j'ai toujours adoré son timbre de voix
Fantastic
Still.in.2021👌👌👍
I’d rather be watching this than Miley Cyrus.
Damn. Soooooo great. Chrissie you are the best.
So much charisma
2024 and I discovered this … now I play this video over, over and over and over nonstop …
Her legs are incredible!!!
I agree!!!
Yes, but she is flat chested!
@@JJJennings007 So, she's got rhythm and can't miss a beat
Melissa ...incredibly skinny
Great singing though.
Classic, unique and beautiful
I got brass in pocket after watching Chrissie Hynde dance on that stage.
🤣
I was looking for this exact comment xD
She worked it!
She's a good singer but I wouldn't go that far lol
Very good looking lady, my beautiful girlfriend is more.
first time seeing them perform this live fantastic!!!
