Pretenders

In the live performance of '2000 Miles' recorded on November 30, 1994, The Pretenders were riding high on the wave of their album 'Last of the Independents,' which had been released just a few months earlier in 1994. This album marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing a robust blend of rock and pop that appealed to both new fans and long-time listeners. Interestingly, 'Last of the Independents' included the hit 'I'll Stand by You,' which became one of their signature tracks. During this period, the band was also noted for its strong live performances, and this 1995 concert in London highlighted not only their musical prowess but also the enduring charisma of lead singer Chrissie Hynde. It's fascinating to think about how their ability to connect emotionally with the audience was just as powerful then as it is today.
