Pretenders

In February 2017, The Pretenders delivered an electrifying performance at the Moda Center in Portland, featuring the tracks 'Talk of the Town' and 'Mystery Achievement.' At this time, the band was riding the wave of renewed energy from their 2016 album, 'Alone,' which marked their first new material in over a decade. The album showcased a mix of classic Pretenders sounds blended with modern influences, and it was produced by the legendary David Sitek. The live recording captures frontwoman Chrissie Hynde’s powerful presence and the band's seamless execution, reminding fans of their enduring legacy. Interestingly, 'Talk of the Town,' originally released in 1979, still resonates today, highlighting the band’s knack for writing timeless songs. This performance allowed audiences to connect with both new material and beloved classics, a testament to their evolving yet steadfast spirit in rock music.
