Pretenders

In September 2009, The Pretenders performed a vibrant live set at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, California. This concert came a few years after the release of their album 'Break Up the Concrete' in 2008, which marked a return to form for the band, emphasizing a more classic rock sound that fans had longed for. Notably, this performance was also part of a phase where lead singer Chrissie Hynde celebrated her enduring place in rock music. The mix of nostalgia and fresh material was palpable, showcasing not just their hits but also their evolution as artists. The Pretenders have always had a knack for marrying heartfelt lyricism with catchy melodies, and this live performance captured that perfectly, reminding us why they've held a special place in music history. Who wouldn't get a little misty-eyed hearing 'Talk of the Town' live?
