Pretenders

In 1994, when the Pretenders delivered their electrifying live performance of "I'll Stand by You" at the Glastonbury Festival, they were riding high on the success of their album "Last of the Independents," which came out the previous year. This album showcased the band's signature blend of rock and pop, and it included hits that revitalized their career. Interestingly, this live recording captures a moment when lead singer Chrissie Hynde was at the forefront of advocating for women's rights and social issues, adding a deeper layer of emotion to their performances. The band's ability to combine powerful lyrics with electric live energy truly shines through in this recording, reflecting their legacy in the rock scene as one of the most enduring bands of their time.
