If the Pretenders don't get you moving, you don't have a pulse. Chrissie continues to be a wonderful artist and so interesting to hear during interviews. She and Martin Chambers are truly rock-n-roll legends. Her bass player and lead guitarist are excellent too. 👍👍👍👍👍
@@audiophileman7047 Martins sideburns are legendary. Chrissy sounds and looks the same the last 40 years. It's a tragedy how they lost a half of the band after the second album,speedball is a killer
At the time of this concert this beautiful lady was 66 years old she is truly amazing and what a voice. What a career so many fantastic songs and still working hard a new album and tour announced for 2024. Love you Chrissie.

One of the best concerts I went to was Pretender's and B-52’s in Portland Oregon. Christie Hinds open up the show and says to the crowd 10 years ago they would be opening up for me. Both shows were great.
I am also from Akron, Cuyahoga Falls and have followed Crissie from there. We were all trying to eecape NE Ohio because of rubber, steel and all factories closed and moved out devastating Ohio economy. Crissie moving to London had a relationship with Dave or Ray Davies of the Kinks which I'm sure set her carrear confidence wise
She’s from Akron, Ohio as are Devo! She worked as a waitress and was a fan of the British Invasion. So somehow she decides to pursue a career as a singer and songwriter and moves to London! I don’t know where she got the gumption to do it but she had the incredible voice which made it all possible. Plus she wrote good songs that fit her vocals perfectly. The rest is history after she put together the Pretenders and their brilliant debut album riding the Punk New Wave explosion that occurred in the late Seventies. The result was a hit album and headlined tours. Then Two original members died. She carriered on. And wrote more hits and kept going! The rest is history! HOF for sure!
The Pretenders were probably the most exciting band to come along at the tail end of the 70s ( 1979). Great music from the start although the band was beset by tragedy, they continued with drummer Martin Chambers joining Chrissie Hynde as the two original members. The band is in top form at Austin City Limits, the best music show in the history of television.
Wow, good job Chrissie for staying alive, love you and your tunes a lot. You got some good pipes. Very cool you got Martin playing drums. So sorry for your loss of the the band members early on. Your band mates here on bass and guitar, fantastic. Love the classic Pretenders songs. And I apologize for for hollering vulgar language at the Twin Cities show back in the 80's, I was a little high. Take care and rock on!
I've had a 20 year crush on Chrissy since I first saw her. Maybe some day I'll tell her. Her magnificent voice hasn't changed a bit. She used to wear this black hat with glitter on it when she really got in the mood. I think I'd ask her to keep it on.
CHRISSIE HYNDE= U.S.A. ROYALTY FAN SINCE DAY 1# GREAT SONG WRITER!! READ HER BOOK📖 RECKLESS I SAW THE BAND AT THE MAYO IN JERSEY ON 4-2-2018.SHE EVEN SIGNED MY BOOK😃
Then the memory of that Ax. , it was beautiful. As the drummer solo ‘ d He don’t pretend. >. He rocked right in the middle of road Come on baby. LoL Some performers A. R. E Unforgettable!
1980. That first album was so so important to me, my friends, my life. They took a big mis-step by releasing the EP BEFORE the second album. Talk of the Town was one of the gems , but because it was on the EP first , it took some of the lustre off LP number 2. By the time the 3rd LP came out - they lost me.
No se si vayas a traducir esto, fui a tu pagina y que encontre, eres la verdura en caldo (Es groseria alabandote) Buenas bandas,valio la pena encontrarte, gracias,.Saludos
You know, when she says balsam is the best rock drummer, one is inclined to think she was being serious. No one drummer is, but he really is incredibly good. It may be that he is consistently this impressive which makes gigging so much easier for a band. It's just a shame that every band isn't this tight playing live.
For me it was always Chrissie talking about love and showing no positive facial or any emotion at all. Chrissie laughing is out of character. She can perform how she likes of course. She was always about aloofness and distain. But I did like the video.
if the drummer just could at least try to do the original drum pattern to start message of love please , playing the tom pattern straight is not how it went !

Saw them at the Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ in 1982? The ushers kept telling my friends and I to sit back in our seats.We couldn't do it.Sorry.

@@Semprini537 All drug abuse is a waste of time. Drugs rob your money, your health, and your soul. Sadly, The Pretenders learned this the hard way. 😢
Excellent! Chrissie still sounds amazing, and this lineup is fantastic (second only to the original four). Thanks for uploading.
These new band members are definitely doing their homework!👍🏻🎸

Her voice is as clear and bright as when she was 20! Glad to see she's still rockin' it. 💙
WOW, what a great live sound.. Band Performance and Recording, AWESOME JOB to all..
I fell in love with her in 1978 when I was 17. In 2024 I’m still in love.

OMG, as good (or even better) than when I saw them in Hong Kong in 1981!!! Killer Rock'n'Roll band!!!!!

Her autobiography, "Reckless" is a good read. I recommend it.
She's on backup vocals on Chris Speddings Hurt album 1977!

I will always love Chrissy for her kindness to my friend Rush…..
I cant believe I never went to see them.
At 66 she looks and sounds great I love the pretenders

I have a crush on her too, and for longer that you, man

Some performers
A. R. E
Unforgettable!
Great band ever Chrissie is the female rock incarnation i'm fan since the first album i was sixteen 🤩
Don't get me wrong, but Don't Get Me Wrong was performance perfection.

Talk of the Town was one of the gems , but because it was on the EP first , it took some of the lustre off LP number 2. By the time the 3rd LP came out - they lost me.
That’s one band I’d go see!
Saw them in London 1981. This is like the Stones if the Stones were still them.
Then the memory of that
Ax. , it was beautiful. As the drummer solo ‘ d He don’t pretend. >. He rocked right in the middle of road
Come on baby.
LoL
She's the Best!!!
She is one of the greatest bandleaders ever.
Eye watering rock n’ roll bliss…

Ahh yes…Martin Balsam on drums. Incredible!
Maybe Martin Chambers?
@@jublaim Yes...exactly. Martin Balsam was an Academy Award-winning character actor who died over 30 years ago!
😂😂😂 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I agree to disagree for Blonde fuc&%_^/ing blows...
THE END 😂
Butch Trucks -
God Damn I love Chrissie.
that sound... only the Pretenders
Chrissie I still have a crush on you!
Smokin band !!!!!
Wow. Chrissie sounds exactly the same as she did in 1981.
Ma quanto sei bbona! 😍 Sophia Loren versione rock 🤘
My favorite is the second album. They don't play that dark stuff no more
Precious
We ❤ chrs
And a pedal steel guitar 🙂
WOW!
I Love You
I said yes to this

51:04 I was never a fan of this band, but I agree with her here about MTV. After hearing and seeing this video my opinion of this band has changed.
🍀🍀🍀
Pretender,singular
I love this band. I'm not Pretending.
Roughly at 42:10 Chrissie being herself. Audience member, "I love you so much!" Chrissie "This is not a time for Love"
O My Goodness
I never understood why chrissy hind insisted on having her bangs cover those beautiful eyes. Read her book, very eye opening!!!
It adds a bit of mystery.
Best
❤
#ThumbsUp> Pup > Ty4Post mister >
did not know pretenders had this in them cool
Hulk Hogan on drums. I like like.
Tattooed Love Boys, Kid???
Origial drummer makes such a diff.
Great show, except for the dork at the end!
Just curious... the drummer seems to be playing behind a plexiglass screen... is there a reason for that ?
Reduces noise on stage. Mainly for the players on the stage.
@@paulwortman483 Thanks for the reply.
I think on a small stage you want to limit interference between instruments. The audio engineer can control the mix more precisely.
In case somebody throws tomatoes or something....
It's called a sound garden.
Shes shy
Why is the drummer behind glass or plastic?
So he can hear HIS monitor only and also blocks the sound from bass and guitar amps.
"Chrissy Hynde is still HOT!!" "Aloha from Hawai"i!!"
Never got the appeal?
For me it was always Chrissie talking about love and showing no positive facial or any emotion at all. Chrissie laughing is out of character. She can perform how she likes of course. She was always about aloofness and distain. But I did like the video.
if the drummer just could at least try to do the original drum pattern to start message of love please , playing the tom pattern straight is not how it went !
The sound guy should be fired
they're pretending to be the pretenders.
Dude has horrible guitar tone
I beg to differ
Chryssie Hyde is every mans dream
