J'étais au festival des vieilles charrues à Carhaix il y a une paire d'années, ma gamine de 6 ou 8 ans sur les épaules, quel pied on a pris! J''écoute tes chansons avec toujours autant de plaisir, merci madame, tu fais mon bonheur musical.
@goober4502 You're right. I see what you're saying. You got me thinking she punctuates her performance of the song in much the way Petty does: nothing wasted (unless it's them), kinda' elegant and laid back, like you say: "cool" but they really put a whip-crack to it when they come in with a chord or a move. She snaps her fingers and I'm jumping way out here. And of course.....wailing on that harmonica. Cool that you saw that comparison and posted.
Although the instruments rock like hell, the studio version sounds just a bit meaner, I miss that mean angle a bit in this live performance. Still, nice job, love the harmonica interlude, very efficient ! Hope the drummer is going to calm down a bit, otherwise we'll end up with similar situations as with Dire Straits live at a certain moment. This kind of rock needs a somewhat more simple, straight drumming, not too much tingle tangle bom bom, think rather AC/DC than Rush.
What a voice! So great! She should never wear a black shirt though, it makes her look depressed.. A white buttoned down shirt would look so much better and more comfortable! :)
@lighttakesthetree youre so right its southern california maaaan a plastic land with plactic folks and the only culture they know is from billboards and tv commercials.i saw crissy and pretenders open for neil young out there in 2000 at an out door venue i think the greek theatre?she played her ass off sadly for only 45mins the crowd PATIENLY waited for neil i was appalled.i was the only one yelling and cheering being from philly thats how we do.
I would like to watch Chrissy without all the fancy angles and cut aways., I just want to see her doing her show.. I dont care about the band. Plus.. you dont leave the camera on any one thing long enough to focus...
Love the song and the performance, love Chrissy Hynde, and I'm trying to be positive; but what's up with the audience!? The crowd sucks! What drugs are they on, or not on! What a pathetic anemic contribution! Where's the countdown! What about going nuts during the opening drum solo? That does it. L.A. must suck! Why is she even thanking them? I don't get it? Why show up, why live if you can't get outa' your seat for this performance! (Sorry about all the punctuation marks.)
I really like this song so I watched several videos from different time periods. These guys do the same thing over and over again. Chrissy Hines is not capable of improvising. I thought they were from the early punk days in New York/CB GB in the 70s? I find bands who play stuff same each time to be a joke. Sad but true.
Shes called CHRISSIE HYNDE and the WHOLE thing about punk and pOstpunk was PRECISELY to get rid of all that stupid improvisation shit, with which so many idiots of the seventies tried to hide their lack of talent, you dork

A great singer, a great band leader, and a great guitarist too.
She ROCKS !! The 80's were freaking AMAZING !! Love you Chrissie !!
You Tube is fun, but catching The Pretenders live was a GREAT experience.
She's fantastic and so are the members of her band!
She is not the "unemployed lead singer," she does play the guitar.
One of the best songs of the second millenium.

Try and see them live if you can the sound is amazing, recording can't really do it justice, Chrissie's voice is beautiful, she's special!
I did, in 1990. They were awesome!
Singular voice she's amazing i loved

The effortless transition @ 3:30 from guitar pick toss to cat call then right into the harp, so classically Crissy.

he sold out in the 90's made a ton of money and then went back to his roots. Chrissy Hyde has always been true to her roots. always!
lol, AGREED !!!! The Bee Gees, LMAO !!!!!
Smokin!
❤
Authentics.
Weet punk sweet punk music bam.L.A I was there

Try live aid '85
I had no idea she played the harmonica on this awesome song
she is the fucking bomb ..
roar!!
Chrissy - you might not be the cat you used to be - but you were right. I suppose the question is how do we move forward?
When was this recorded?
What a voice! So great! She should never wear a black shirt though, it makes her look depressed.. A white buttoned down shirt would look so much better and more comfortable! :)
In the middle of the road --- PRETENDERS ---
chrissy pretenders hyde prrt prrrrrt
Chris has got balls...she's more like a guy than a gal...it's true what they say about songwriters: men write about women, but women write about roads
just 'la classe'.....
difference between Tom Petty and Chrisse Hyde..... she NEVER sold out! like TP!
@lighttakesthetree youre so right its southern california maaaan a plastic land with plactic folks and the only culture they know is from billboards and tv commercials.i saw crissy and pretenders open for neil young out there in 2000 at an out door venue i think the greek theatre?she played her ass off sadly for only 45mins the crowd PATIENLY waited for neil i was appalled.i was the only one yelling and cheering being from philly thats how we do.
Jessica Chastain at 3:58 ?
when was this concert?
@ericco79 me too! my homegirl from ohio!
@ericco79 But she better get out of the MIDDLE of the ROAD !...
have you been eating spacecake again ?
I use an "A" harp for this tune ... anyone else have another key perhaps? I think she uses a "D;" both sound ok ...
radiating ?
That's for the US conservatives. What about the British, with their elegant 17th century mansions and nice dark green Jags and Bentley's ?
the woman....keith richards 1977....eheheheheh....but....sweet"!
what kind the voice.....
she's like the female tom petty... so fuckin' cool.
Wiltern Theatre
She's a hell of a lot better looking than Tom Petty......way better voice too.
I would like to watch Chrissy without all the fancy angles and cut aways., I just want to see her doing her show.. I dont care about the band. Plus.. you dont leave the camera on any one thing long enough to focus...

The lyric needs to be changed to "I gotta kid I'm 53"
Tom Petty sold out?????? In what way?

Shes called CHRISSIE HYNDE and the WHOLE thing about punk and pOstpunk was PRECISELY to get rid of all that stupid improvisation shit, with which so many idiots of the seventies tried to hide their lack of talent, you dork
How disgusting the drummer is already for the tomb.
You're an idiot. Martin Chambers rocks!
Stupid tw#at! Martin Chambers is an incredible drummer.
she looks like Tom Petty.
Martin chambers is one helluva drummer!
