All in all a good show. The lead guitarist switches from Gibson Les Paul to Fender Stratocaster to cover Honeyman-Scott tracks.
Back to the Les Paul for the more modern tracks and Hynde's sultry voice to take the lead vocals.
Most of the original line up is gone but these folks still rock, the old favourites are equally well received as the more modern tracks.
A word to the wise, try Find-CD for the Japanese Import, it has 14 tracks and is well worth the layout.
Back to the concert, the sound is well produced and is recorded over several nights to get it right. I watched and listened on an entry level HD TV with 5.1 computer speakers and it was a very enjoyable couple of hours.
There is some strong language, but that's Rock And Roll for you. Veteran Chrissie has the audience in the palm of her hand throughout the show and they love her.
My City Was Gone is a lament for Chrissie's hometown of Akron Ohio and Middle of the Road goes down a treat.
Only Chrissie and the drummer Martin Chambers are of the original line up as Pete Farandon and James Honeyman Scott have passed on.
The Pretenders have adopted a full time keyboardist, for a rock band that does limit the range when it comes to jamming but it pays off on the modern tracks.
A good line up and a great show.10/10
