Pretenders

In 2008, The Pretenders were riding the wave of their 'Break Up the Concrete' album, which had dropped a year earlier. This marked a bit of a resurgence for the band, full of energy and growth after a few quieter years. The live performance at Marymoor Park in Seattle, featuring their classic hit "Brass in Pocket," showcased their enduring appeal and ability to captivate audiences even after decades in the business. An interesting tidbit is that the band was celebrating their eclectic mix of new material while still holding tight to the nostalgic charm of their earlier hits. It's a testament to their versatility, demonstrating how they managed to weave the old and new into a seamless live experience that kept fans coming back for more. The live recording captures not just the sound, but the spirit of a band that never quite fades away.
