Pretenders

In March 1987, the Pretenders performed 'Light Of The Moon' live at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, during a pivotal time in their career. This performance came just after the release of their album 'Get Close,' which hit the shelves a few months earlier in 1986. 'Get Close' showcased the band's evolution, leaning into a more polished sound while still carrying that gritty rock essence essential to their identity. Interestingly, this album marked a notable shift, as it was their first without founding member and bassist Pete Farndon, who had tragically passed away years prior. This concert not only captures the band's resilience but also demonstrates their ability to connect with fans through heartfelt performances amidst personal losses. It's a powerful testament to their tenacity in the music scene.
