Esa es una de las agrupaciones del rock que han trascendido en la historia de la música y esa es una de las canción es más hermosa yo siempre la escucho en mi móvil desde República dominicana
Around 1985 here in Providence I received free tickets to the Pretenders, I knew then from MTV, never would think to see them live...they blew me away, they rocked
The last "I saw a picture of you ..." to "wretched life of a lonely heart," looks like she's fighting back emotions, compared to how calm and srene she ws the previous 2:40 .... hmmmm, hurtful. The 80's were going to be Jimmy's decade, too.
So glad I'm an 80's child! What a time to be young and alive. Things were so much better back then. No computers, no cell phones. People experiencing things together and being unified. It was great!
@ Derek Anderson: sadly, change isn't ALWAYS forward. Hopefully, an ajustment will be made..histiorically, that is usually true. But the net is a powerful weapon, for evil, as WELL as good...
I was 13 and watched this with my 21 yo brother and parents who were huge music fans. I declared I wanted to marry Tom Petty and be Chrissy H. My mom said you need to start practicing your piano more and my dad bought me a guitar a few days later. Those were the days!
And the LYRICS to this song… timeless Shakespearean quality. “The phone, TV and the news of the world / Got in the house like a pigeon from hell “. “Like a break in the battle was your part / In the wretched life of a lonely heart”

Agreed! And the bit starting at 2:30 never fails to give a thrill -- one of the most astonishing few seconds of vocal anywhere, to my ears (especially on the studio version with her overdubbing)...
Goddamn! I’m crying. Oh how I love this song. Chrissie KILLED IT!!!!!!!! Where has music gone? I’m not saying there’s nothing good out there today, but there will never be the glory days of music from those 40 years. The 60’s-90’s! There will never be a concert like Live Aid EVER! Coachella has had its moments, but that all ended after 2011.
Music hasnt gone anywhere. Youre just getting old and not looking for it anymore like you did when you were young. There is a shit ton of excellent bands out there. You just dont know about them.
Live Aid put the best music in history all on a stage together. An incredible, fortuitous moment in music history, brought about by a sad but galvanizing cause. Thank you all for having done it. Incredible
A few years ago a old friend and co worker of mine passed away. She loved the Pretenders. Whenever I listen to them I think of her. I sing, smile and get teary. RIP Sylvia 🤘❤️
An all time great song and artist ! For those lamenting the old songs I can say there are many new songs released in last 10 years that have the same power . Keep an open mind to these contemporary talented song writers.
Oh jeez, I remember Live Aid. I watched most of it that day, but i don't remember this performance. I do recall Phil Collins played in both London and Philly. Simon Lebon hit a really bad false note in "A View to a Kill." Queen kicked arse. Good times!
This is a fantastic performance AND a great recording. For all the tech glitches and erased material that plagued Live Aid, it’s wonderful that this exists.
Loved them from when Brass in the pocket came out as a single. I got the chance to see them in concert in the 80's. It was the Get Close album tour. They were fantastic. Still a tight New Wave band. Great show!
This song was part of the fabric of my teen years. Chrissie's voice is just magical. I would absolutely love to see her live. In her most recent videos, she still sounds amazing. I just learned this on guitar and I cant get enough of it.
James Honeyman-Scott is definitely the progenitor of the Pretenders' sound but Robbie McIntosh here is equally fabulous. A testament to Chrissie's genius!
"I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh Those were the happiest days of my life Like a break in the battle was your part, o-o-oh, o-o-oh In the wretched life of a lonely heart" I can never forget these lyrics.
Well done to Chrissie H and her magnificent band. Awesome! Definitely the "happiest days of my life " going back. A real treat for those in Philadeiphia on the day, and for us on youtube years later.. Love your voice. Take care, lovely lady xxx
I wouldn't classify myself as much of a Pretenders fan as there's only a handful of their songs I could honestly say I love, but that moment (around 2:30 in this video) where Chrissie's voice just soars into "part" is one of THE great moments in rock music in my opinion. It knocks me out every time I hear it.
1985 Senior in high school. Memorable We had such a variety of music to listen too..from classic, heavy metal rock, to nu wave, pop, hip hop, rap...can say the best decade in music.😊
Um imenso prazer ter vivido tudo isso com muita intensidade, digo com muito orgulho, tenho 49 anos, hoje olho meus sobrinhos e chego a ter pena dessas crianças e adolescentes, tempos sem alma
For those who are new or only know a pair of songs , I encourage them to listen the first album, absolutely a masterpiece, the real Pretenders....... Don't forget to buy this vinyl!
Such a cool song, and what a groovy voice. The first time I heard this song, I knew it was great. Here it is, all these years later, and it's still a cool song, with her groovy voice. I won't rip on today's artists, but I will say that this song is immortal. Just a lovely song.
1985, mi primer trabajo formal en México, compré este lp en el supermercado, aun lo tengo, solo lo puse una vez en el tornamesa, para grabarlo en cassette. Está como el primer día. Y mi gusto por Pretenders me acompaña a dondequiera que he estado. Cuando muera quiero que me entierren con música de rock de los 50`s hasta los 2000`s. !Viva la vida y el rock!
I agree. Music wise, it seems like people were being creative enough with electronic instruments, but still needed talent for it. Now, everything is electronic, talent isn’t on the forefront. Shame.

Chrissie Hynde, my favorite female singer ever. Her voice is mesmerizing.
One of the best female singers ever existed. Incredible voice.
I agree

Ann Wilson is the best, not one of the best

Her voice....I can't believe how beautiful it is live
She(Chrissy Hynde) and her voice are both beautiful in this video.
2022
Have listened to the studio but that is the first time I ever seen that live. Kick-Ass!!!
Around 1985 here in Providence I received free tickets to the Pretenders, I knew then from MTV, never would think to see them live...they blew me away, they rocked
That is exactly what I thought about her voice in a live performance! Chrissy rocks
The emotion conveyed in Hynde's vocals is stunning. The heartache is palpable.
Wondering if this song was written about James Honeyman Scott or Pete Farndon.
The last "I saw a picture of you ..." to "wretched life of a lonely heart," looks like she's fighting back emotions, compared to how calm and srene she ws the previous 2:40 .... hmmmm, hurtful. The 80's were going to be Jimmy's decade, too.

Underrated lyricist. This girl could write legendary lines.
We just didn't realize how great we had it back then, We had the best music 50's 60's 70's and 80's, best musicians. Great concerts.
and the concert tickets were cheap
I'd throw the 90s in there too. Basically pre-internet and pre-smart phones.
And then one day in the early 21st century shit (aka Autotune) happened.
And 90z too lol
Now 2020 full garbage hip hop type of thing and all computer generated music
And the LYRICS to this song… timeless Shakespearean quality. “The phone, TV and the news of the world / Got in the house like a pigeon from hell “. “Like a break in the battle was your part / In the wretched life of a lonely heart”
She sounds exactly like on the record ! 😍
when she sings " Those were the happiest days of my life " I get goose bumps
There will never be music like this again. I was lucky to be the generation that was there for this WONDERFUL music.

Instantly recognizable voice. One of the best. I’ve never heard any other voice close to hers. So good.
Agreed! And the bit starting at 2:30 never fails to give a thrill -- one of the most astonishing few seconds of vocal anywhere, to my ears (especially on the studio version with her overdubbing)...
Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs is the only vocalist with a similar tone imo
Absolutely

I saw The Pretenders in the 80s then again around 2012 and Chrissie’s voice was unchanged - perfect. They are an amazing live band.
How great. My mum loved the pretenders. 🤗
Shes awsome...what emotion. The Pretenders kicked it!....great tunes for decades to come....Soul Music!
I've just found the best singer I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. What a vibrato.
This amazes me, this Lady sounds better live than record.
Totally agree 100 percent what a voice …
Yeaaa❤❤❤
Very few do, Alanis Morrisette is another
In 80s i was a teenage days
There's a lot of great artist
The Pretenders one of them
I had a great time in the 80s
80s will be forever
I absolutely love this woman. She is to be compared to no one. That voice, hauntingly beautiful.
One of the unique voices in rock, immediately recognizable. My favorite Pretenders song.
A really powerful woman!..lovely Chrissie..
Happy Live Aid day 1985 ( 39 years ago today )
I saw all of this concert im so lucky she and the preteders were on at 10 am , so great what a day it was perfect 1985 lol so great
She looks and sounds great!

Chrissie great voice, those women of rock in the 80's ❤️
I appreciate her music more and more and more as I grow older.
Live Aid put the best music in history all on a stage together.
An incredible, fortuitous moment in music history, brought about by a sad but galvanizing cause.
Thank you all for having done it. Incredible
A few years ago a old friend and co worker of mine passed away. She loved the Pretenders. Whenever I listen to them I think of her. I sing, smile and get teary. RIP Sylvia 🤘❤️
Never get tired of this woman. Aside from being drop dead gorgeous what a great voice and band to go with her! Drums and that guitar and bass....wow.
I saw this 10 am that day i was 14 zeppelin reunited sabbath with ozzy ?? This was still one of my favorites ?? They were great lol !!!!!
A beautiful lady with a sultry voice...
Great voice thank you Chrissie Jagjeet Kaur
I bought The Pretenders’ “Learning to Crawl” album when it came out… One of the best albums to come out in the 80s. Still holds up today
Outstanding.
Well I bought the self titled debut album in 1980 after seeing the poster on Johnny Fevers door on WKRP in Cinncinati
Great album start to finish
@@garyc39 KRP sold a lot of albums.
Pure talent, musicians enjoying their music, and sharing it with us, just the way it's supposed to be...
This concert was utterly impossible. All that incrtedible talent, together at one time, all in one place.
Insane. Geldof is Superman.
The fact that she still performs today and still has a good voice, 37yrs later, also quite remarkable.
Back before social media, auto tune, and reality TV. God Bless the 80's, when you actually had to have talent to be successful.
John Cook Amen to that man!
YES!
And Back when a band was a band...
I pity kids of today. Pop music is shite, you can’t say boo to a goose and your monitored 24-7
I know right
An all time great song and artist ! For those lamenting the old songs I can say there are many new songs released in last 10 years that have the same power . Keep an open mind to these contemporary talented song writers.
Chrissie Hynde has a pure rock voice. Never tired of hearing her
The one and only Robbie McIntosh on lead guitar, still playing live concerts to this day.
At the end when she sang “those were the happiest days of my life” emotional gold
Oh jeez, I remember Live Aid. I watched most of it that day, but i don't remember this performance. I do recall Phil Collins played in both London and Philly. Simon Lebon hit a really bad false note in "A View to a Kill." Queen kicked arse. Good times!
Her voice, from 1985 to 2022，never changed ❤
A talented strong woman
Who never had to think about being one
One of the unique players of the greatest rock and roll era in history
Awesome talent
here here 🥳🥳
Her thoughtful music/message making the world a better place
What he said!! On the money.
I agree 100 %
Still gives me goose bumps after all these years.
a perfect well written song,great lyrics that describe the loss of innocence and youth...still means as much to me now as it did in 84,85....
Beautiful singer, awesome voice!
Chrissie Hynde & yes, she’s great!
This is a fantastic performance AND a great recording. For all the tech glitches and erased material that plagued Live Aid, it’s wonderful that this exists.
58 years old, I live for music! Master!!! Relief for the soul.
Great singer and a lovely looker as well ❤

I saw the pretenders live around 1985 at Elland Road, Leeds, England, they were the main support for U2 on the Joshua tree tour, fantastic day
Loved them from when Brass in the pocket came out as a single. I got the chance to see them in concert in the 80's. It was the Get Close album tour. They were fantastic. Still a tight New Wave band. Great show!

Loved this song when it came out and still do all these years later. Great job band.
The Pretenders, their style, their front woman, their guitar sound, their beat, and their drive thank you for a of it.
Beautiful voice and amazing version of this tune. Back in the days when England was still a free country....and had pride in itself.
Chrissie Hynde = A [Music] Legend & Icon.
What an awesome performance! Great song
Not knowing the context, the first time I heard this tune it reached out from the speaker and grabbed me by the throat. Her grief is palpable.
My heart aches for these days . kids these days don't know what they are missing...maybe some do...I hope !!!
James Honeyman-Scott is definitely the progenitor of the Pretenders' sound but Robbie McIntosh here is equally fabulous. A testament to Chrissie's genius!
Chrissie's. Music. A. Very. Beautiful. Lady. With. A. Very. Beautiful. Voice. I. Love. The. Pretenders !!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Excellent. Chrissie's voice just hits me right in the heart ❤
Paul. You. Are definitely. 👍. Right
Shortly after this they came to Brazil. With Johnny Marr as their guitarist!
Unsung masterpiece of Live Aid!
In the top group!
I love her guitar style excellent. only sum one knowledgeable could pull it off the right way
"I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart"
I can never forget these lyrics.

Class of 87🤘🏾
Class of 74.
Class of '86.

The sort of song that separates the players from the great players
totally agree.
Great musicians are exactly that… they don’t need a studio to sound good.
Sort of CROWD
Arguably one of the best singers ANNDDD can play Geeeeetarrrrr while doin so!!! Now thats talent
That is alot of humanity in the audience,what an experience of a lifetime to have been there in person,the "Pretenders" rock.
