Pretenders

In September 2009, The Pretenders delivered an electrifying performance at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, marking the end of their U.S. tour. By this point, they had just released their album "Break Up the Concrete" in 2008, which showcased their evolving sound while still retaining the raw edge that early fans adored. The album, their first in nearly a decade, symbolized a sort of renaissance for the band, with Chrissie Hynde's distinctive voice and songwriting shining through. Fun fact: during this live recording, fans were treated to not just their hit "Middle of the Road" but also a glimpse into the band’s enduring legacy. Hynde's passion and energy were palpable, reminding everyone why they’ve stood the test of time in the music scene.
