Pretenders

In the live recording from October 29, 2016, at the Toyota Center in Houston, the Pretenders were riding high on the success of their latest album, "Alone," which had been released just the year before, in 2016. This album, featuring the single 'Holy Commotion,' marked a significant return to the studio for the band. It had been almost a decade since their last studio effort, making this performance a thrilling mix of nostalgia and fresh material. Interestingly, the live show captured the band's energy and evolution, showcasing classic hits like 'Tattooed Love Boys' and 'Stop Your Sobbing,' the latter being a Kinks cover that resonates deeply with fans. The choice to revisit such pivotal songs reflects not just their storied career but also the band's ability to connect with both long-time listeners and new fans alike.
