Pretenders

In 2016, The Pretenders were riding the wave of their comeback tour following the release of their album 'Alone,' which dropped just a year earlier. The album, produced by the legendary Barbara Gaskin, saw Chrissie Hynde and the band venture into fresh sonic territory while retaining their signature sound. It's fascinating to note that 'Alone' was the first album featuring guitarist James Walbourne, pushing their dynamic forward. During this live recording at the Toyota Center in Houston, attendees were treated to the potent energy and nostalgia of classics like 'Brass in Pocket,' reminding everyone why the band has remained relevant over the decades. The excitement captured in this performance isn't just about the music; it’s about the enduring connection between the band and its loyal audience, some of whom even bring along albums for a personal touch—like that fan getting her dad's album signed!
