Pretenders

In August 2009, during a dynamic live performance at the Warner Theatre in Washington D.C., the Pretenders showcased their vibrant energy and timeless sound. This concert came shortly after the release of their album 'Break Up the Concrete' (2008), which marked a return to form for the band, featuring a raw rock simplicity that fans had longed for. With Chrissie Hynde leading the charge, the live show not only highlighted their classic hits but also incorporated fresh material from this album. Interestingly, this period also saw a refreshed lineup, breathing new life into a band that had seen its fair share of changes over the years. The combination of Hynde's unmistakable vocals and a strong supporting band resonates throughout the recording, reaffirming the Pretenders' enduring legacy in rock music. It’s a testament to their ability to evolve while staying true to their roots.
