Absolutely right: Chrissie Hynde is unique. Great singer and great songwriter.
She still owns a vegetarian restaurant in Akron, Ohio where she's from.
She did a wonderful cover of Waterloo Sunset during the induction of the Kinks into the British Rock Hall of Fame.
@@marvinroos3520 Sorry for the late reply. You're right; it's indeed a wonderful cover. Thanks for sharing that!
Chrissie is so underrated, she is an exceptional guitarist and one of the most well-rounded musicians around.
David S. Average guitarist, GREAT songwriter.
Truly awesome.
She's a girl that men want to hang out with.
@@unitedplankton2866 Remember that asshole journalist who published along with an interview that they banged as well. What a poor excuse for an ethical journalist.
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse I just see a lot of strumming but hey, that's all you need. You only need to write songs to get somewhere...
I took my 74-year-old mom to her first rock concert in 2016 when The Pretenders opened for Stevie Nicks. Mom started crying when Chrissie sang I'll Stand by You. And then that got me sobbing too. But we stopped our sobbing when they played their next song 😉. Chrissie was tremendous. (As was Stevie.)
"I'll Stand by You" is the only song that has me crying in the first 10 seconds.
Still heck of a singer and I still love their songs. Fil you're the best. 👍👍
I've either been a fan or worked 300 live concerts in my life and I would have to say Pretenders with the original band is a top 5 concert for me. They were incredible
I saw the original lineup too. They were FABULOUS!
I loved Chrissie Hynde from the moment I heard her. She's one of those singers whose voice is immediately recognizable. Back on the Chain Gang is my favorite.
Chrissie knew what she wanted, took no crap and went out and got it. She's still getting it! I think she's better than ever.
She's tough!
Thanks Fil!😁❤
I remember a Chrissie interview where they asked her what she thought of her own voice.
Her reply was that it was nothing special, but that if she didn't have it she'd still be working in a shoe-shop....
..... I would DEFINITELY go there to buy my shoes.
Her voice is special, so special 😉
Actually, the Pretenders' version of Stop Your Sobbing must be one of the best covers of any song.
Just saw a live performance, of her singing "Mystery Achievement".
Like Robin Gibb, a most unmistakable voice. .What a rock star looks like. Love you, Fil!
Absolutely love The Pretenders.
Me too!
One of the most recognizable voices! And The Pretenders are such a tight band! One of my all time favorites. Timeless tunes that always have a place on the radio. 🤙🏻🎼😎
Another great analysis Fil. I love The Pretenders. The first album rocked. I own all of their music. Her book Reckless is really an interesting read.
I met Chrissie, very nice person that took time to play for the USO tour, another good show Fil, Jeff in LA USA
Love, love, love this woman and her music! And thank you so much Fil! I always learn so much from every one of your analyses! The fact that you show how much YOU are yourself a fan , only enhances the experience!
Chrissie Hynde possesses one of the great rock voices, and explained it beautifully, saying, “distinctive voices in rock are trained through years of many things: frustration, fear, loneliness, anger, insecurity, arrogance, narcissism, or just sheer perseverance - anything but a teacher." You rock, Dear Fil! 🤘🏽
Love her voice and talent Saw her on several interviews and thought she was a bit arrogant but probably was a survival technique She was courageous- just love and admire her tenacity she’s a phenomenal musician Thanks Fil
I love her voice. It’s from her heart!
I love the Pretenders... awesome!
...I loved Learning to Crawl...I was a pot smoker back then and I literally bought a bag of weed, quit the job I hated and went home and listened to Learning to Crawl over and over...
...I haven't done weed or cocaine or anything but alcohol since 86...
(It's been twelve years since I've been alcohol sober now)...that's a whole other story!
The Pretenders has always struck me as very unique musically. The tempo and cord changes in songs like Tattooed love boys, and Message of love are prime examples, and also my two favorite songs of theirs. Chrissie has that edge in her vocals that gives me goosebumps (in a good way). where she has that range of not only being a commanding presence, but also has the right amount of compassion and feminine in her expression. Where she brings that grungy punk quality, but adds a bit of empathy..hard to express exactly in words, but something that is felt, I guess. Thanks for sharing a great band, that is often overlooked and underrated.
Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders, I so enjoyed them through the 80's. I had a bit of self isolation (hippie commune in Northern CA in the late 70's early 80's, no radio,no TV) and when I came out there was this band "The Pretenders", what a "coming back to the world" gift. My favorite Pretenders song (kinda sugary but I like it) "I remember You". Here is that last verse, Chrissie Hynde wrote the song.
I remember the first time we slept
What a surprise to wake up to
Someone I hardly knew
From a sleep to a dream come true
I remember you
Chrissie did really good. Thanks Fil.
A few years ago I had the privilege of having a Top 10 of my favourite singles played on my local radio station and 'Talk of the Town' was one of my choices. The Pretenders have always been a very under-rated group and they have given us many truly brilliant songs during their career. James Honeyman Scott along with Andy Summers of The Police really defined that specific chorus/flanger dominated sound back in the late 70s/ early 80s but he doesn't get the recognition probably because of his early demise IMO.
I saw The Pretenders on this tour! Tattooed Love Boys!. Great show. Thanks Fil. We were gonna see em the next night & unfortunately didn't. They played Cuban Slide. I'm still bummed I didn't get to see that. Get The Pretenders EP. You'll love it.
The ever talented Chrissie Hynde....what diamond she is! This song brings back such great memories! Just brilliant! Great Fil! Cheers Mario! 😎👌🤘
Chrissie pushing the tempo.
Using her arms, legs, imagination.
Works for me.
Thank you sir, beautiful summarization, you couldn't have done better!
My favorite song from them.. I used to love to hear this.. I love the line where she sings I'm Special..great song. Chrissie really did the song justice, Her cadence is special.
After all of these years, Chrissie still sounds great!
I hardly knew about this group probably because they were after my time. But she has a great voice and a great stage presence and I love the rhythm and the rock and roll of this song.
I could listen to them all day! Her voice is the same! And it’s 40 years, I only know that because my daughter was born in 1979, and she turned 40 in April! Lol! Time flies! Yet, Chrissie as well as my daughter keep getting better! Thanks Fil
My daughter too! She's 40!
She's "Special... Special... give it to me!" Great one, Fil! I shared this with my friend Smudge!
excellent performance by Crissie and the band, excellent homework and analysis. thanks for this one Fil.
"Detroit leanin'" F'n LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing and the analysis.
Heehee! Chrissie's a lot of fun live.😆 Always loved her voice. Great guitar player too. She's got punker attitude.
Fil, great review, Love the little background stories, keep up the good work, ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her voice was like a milk that's sweet and sour yet chunky . the great thing about Chrissie and her songs was you can hear and feel it's like a fashion show of vocal rollercoaster plus melodic sophistication that's uniquely hers. You'll beg for more
You needed to review the original band playing this live. The guitarist was amazing. One of the best.
I saw The Pretenders in 1985 and they were fabulous. One of those bands with so many great songs it's hard to choose a favourite. I love Chrissie Hynde so much I always wanted to look just like her and for about ten years I did 😊 Now she still looks like Chrissie Hynde and I look like her granny 😣
Chrissie is my hero since 80. You are correct on the rushed tempo. When I sing this song in its proper key I am exhausted by the time I get to the middle. Counting in rules.
Wonderful video! I love the small details that you bring to their history. For instance the Rush Limbaugh story. I think I discovered his radio show when it was rather new. I was never quite sure what to make of him, but could never forget the intro to his show which he is still using today. I never dreamed it was The Pretenders.
I just heard a cut from her new album. She sounds amazing! Thank you, Fil, for your intelligent, educational, and thoughtful analysis. You are the best!
All right! Great choice. Didn't notice when you said the year of the performance so I thought it was the original. She still has a great voice and all the sass and attitude I remember. Her statement about how distinctive rock voices are trained is so insightful.
Very cool analysis Fil. Chrissie is one badass lady. Saw her at a small venue back in the day. Rocked the house.
I honestly had forgotten them, I’m glad you posted this, a mark of great music is, it takes you back to a certain time... and maybe even place.
This tune definitely did that to me.
Chrissie sounds great, perhaps a bit more refined now, compared to way back in the day. Some of her moves, are eye popping, she’s a beautiful lady..
And she still is great. Check out some of her latest material. Her talent didn’t end in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s.
HI FIL YOU DO A VERY GOOD JOB. YOU ARE THE BEST. LOVE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEOES. LOVE YOU GUYS. CHRISSY DOES A VERY GOOD JOB. LOVE HER SONG. SHE DID A GOOD JOB ON THIS SONG. THANKS FIL. PEACE AND LOVE
Great show Fill,loved it! Thanks for the great recon& intell again! She is from same area as me! Song my 🌃city was gone struck a deep cord.🎼🎶🎵
On one hand we know we can never go home again but that doesn't stop all of the beautiful memories of our childhood playing out in our mind. Ah, the days of innocence and being carefree. 💖
Great job, Fil. Chrissie Hynde is a unique and talented artist.
Saw The Pretenders during their "Learning to Crawl" tour with a great bonus of having Stevie Ray Vaughan as the opening act!
Damn!
That's just insane. Awesome.
So true Fil.... she has one of the most distinct voices in Rock! I was so fortunate to get to see Chrissie and The Pretenders open for The Stones in 2002!! I was not aware of her history and how persistent she was in her career. When I hear this track I can close my eyes and see the MTV video to this day! Chrissie's a waitress in a restaurant trying to get the attention of a patron at a table of people(who's played by her bandmates, I believe).....✌❤🤘
Oh and who could forget "smelly cat"!!!
🙀🙀😹😹😹😹
Cool!
HI FIL. VERY GOOD VIDEO. CHRISSIE. SOUNDED GOOD. LOVE THAT SONG. SHE IS A GOOD SINGER. THANKS .STAY SAFE OUT THERE.PEACE AND LOVE
This was the first Pretenders song I'd seen/heard. It was again another song/video that got heavy rotation in early MTV. Always loved her voice.
Awesome in-depth analysis, Fil! Chrissie was incredibly persistent in pursuing her dream. I remember when I first heard Brass in Pocket, her unusual vocals made me sit up and listen. She was also in a relationship with Ray Davies of the Kinks though they didn't marry. Thanks also for reminding me that I have a very edgy sexy pair of stiletto heels by Vivienne Westwood (when you mentioned her). Wearing them makes me feel so badass!! :)
Just saw her in Minneapolis with the Foo Fighters at Target Field. Would love to see her again in a smaller venue; she was brilliant!
Guess I should have waited for the end before commenting. 🤣 You are the BEST, Dear Fil! ❤️
This is the band I've seen live most. I have her guitar pick, and she smashed it in my palm because savages were trying to take it. She does a great cover of Hendrix's 'Room Full of Mirrors'. Martin Chambers is an awesome drummer live! I threw Rose's on stage, she picked them up and threw them at him, and he put the bunch in his mouth sideways.
GREAT video Fil.... I luv it. 💜
Cool!
The Pretenders are awesome.
Love Chrissie! Such a unique artist with that great unique voice and great stage presence and confident 'l'm in control' attitude! Musician great singer and songwriter Wore The Pretenders first 3 albums out. Great creative stuff! Thanks Fil!😎🎼🎵🎶🎶
Would love it if you could do a segment highlighting the great guitar and arranging work of your fellow Brit James Honeyman-Scott. That whole 1st album is full of guitar gems, IMO.
Thanks for the detailed analysis of Crissie's career. I learnt a lot.
Learned s lot more about Chrissie on this one FiL! Again thank you for your wonderful videos! 👍🏻👍🏻
love Chrissie, love your channel!
Chrissie is a great artist. The Pretenders were a great rock band and her voice is very unique. I saw them back in 1981 and they rocked!
4:40
RIP James Honeyman-Scott [founding member of The Pretenders 1956-82]
She IS special! This song reminds me of 11th grade, hanging around the bandroom, twirling my baton.😂🎷
Allison Young 😂
@@buckjohnson1119 I don't want 2 brag,...but I WAS 3rd clarinet/ 1st chair!! 😎 At my school u had 2 play in the band 2 be a majorette ~the lure of those white knee high boots & sequins was too much! Y'all jealous ?😂🐈⌛The 4 the music, Fil! U make me smile~
Allison Young I was laughing WITH you, not all you if that is how it seemed. I sang solo in choir, was on end of riser voice, had a son in jazz band, and same son, and
daughter in Concert band. So, I could relate to your comment which I enterpreted as the joy, in the moment! 👍🏻👍🏻. Majorette, good athletics!
@@buckjohnson1119 Of course, babe! I appreciated that someone knew the coolness of " behind the bandroom"! ( w/the drummers, lol). I am always tongue in cheek & a little sarcastic at my age☺! I chill w/this cute Brit , Fil & 4get abt reality 4 a bit! I got u, gurl!👍🎸
A fierce and talented woman... Not someone who takes BS. The first time I heard The Pretenders first album, I was blown away... Precious came blasting out of my Dad's Pioneer speakers and I was hooked. I wondered what she would do after the loss off James Honeyman Scott and Pete Farndon. She and Martin Chambers came back with Learning to Crawl. Excellent! Thanks Fil 👍🤘🤘🤘
#Fil Martin Chambers was the drummer for MOTT THE HOOPLE" for their original line up re-union~!
This channel deserves more subscribers !! Come on people, tell family and friends about this channel !! Let's get Wings of Pegasus over 100,000 subscribers !!
Thanks!
@@wingsofpegasus You are most welcome! It was my pleasure !! I love your channel !!
one of my fav female singers, love the tone and just the raw sexiness, love it.
Another incredibly detailed analysis and history of Chrissie Hynde this time from the unmissable Wings of Pegasus show!
just playing this now.. I LOVE this song.. !
Why aren't they in the hall of fame. She was one of the female pioneers of new wave.
They were inducted in 2005, which I'm happy to say was their first year of eligibility.
Was a big fan of the Pretenders when they hit with Chrissie, James Honeyman-Scott, Pete Farndon and the great Martin Chambers.
What a tight band with great songs. So glad Chrissie is still out there performing at such a high level. Brass in Pocket is an anthem.
Seems to me they were popular in the UK before here in the states. She is still a class act for sure!!
Oh man had my attention years ago, loved , loved to hear her sing and not to hard to look at either .
Love Chrissie and the Pretenders!
Wow, I never knew about Chrissie's travails, very interesting. Good for her determination! Thanks, Fil.
Thumbs up Fil. Saw the Pretenders back in 1979, great performance!
So unfortunate to loss Honeyman-Scott and Farndon so early. The first two albums had some of the greatest tunes from front to back. The original 4s live performances were some of the hardest hitting raw rock n roll ever.
Christie credits Honeyman-Scott as the spark that lit the Pretenders and captured our ears in the process. Chambers in a Pretenders special noted Hynde's unusual beats and tempos. See if you can find the video of the induction of The Kinks into the Brit Rock Hall of Fame with The Pretenders covering Waterloo Sunset. Also check out her autobiography, Reckless, My Life as a Pretender.
Thanks Fil! Another great analysis. I learn so much from you about music and the unique way in which each artist expresses it. Love Chrissie and that edgy attitude that she brings to her music and performance as well. Great memories from my college days! Keep 'em comin'!
We've seen them 7 times over the years -- always a great show, super band
I miss her playing rhythm guitar. She was a groundbreaking female guitarist.
She's a torch singer.
This was a hot sound.
I discovered Chrissie and the Pretenders in 1980 after moving back home to San Diego. Their unique sound is obviously very impressive, and along with Chrissie's writing and singing made their popularity explode in the 80's. Chrissie has been lauded as one of the most beautiful women in the world, and I agree that she is simply strikingly attractive, in a unique way. Keep in mind, during this concert, she is well over 50 years old. Not too bad! I guess that in addition to her good genes, there is something to a vegan lifestyle, which Chrissie has followed for most of her life. Love her recent album, Stockholm.
She's a Rocker From Cleveland! Great R&R town!
The great woman in rock rolls on ❤ Thank you Fil... you can't go wrong with the last week or so line-up & Chrissie is another classic rocker,sweet voice and that I'm gonna get cha punk attitude... Yes ! Informative & well done back story & analysis 😇🎙
Request: Gotta push for Beth Hart Immortal Live at Paradiso.... she is unbelievable & this performance will blow everyone's mind !
I just saw her at the end of July at a place called Mass Moca in North Adams Massachusetts, their only North American show for the year, and they were absolutely incredible,.. great review as always, thank you
RIP James Honeyman Scott and that bassist guy too.
his name was Pete Farndon..SMH
I can truly say I'm glad she hung in there and saw her dreams through. She's very talented and deserves the success she's had and no doubt will continue to have. Really fine post Fil. Rock!
Always loved her voice,does a great rendition of Creep too.
I love her version of that song as much as the original.
For a different sound from her I’d like to mention her album with The Valve Bone Woe Ensemble (especially the Nancy Wilson classic “How Glad I Am”). I really like it!
Thanks for another great vid Fil, keep 'em coming mate !
Fil, truly love how you know the history of the bands you analyze and how you appreciate the history of the music you analyze. I was hoping you would analyze the song “The Rain, The Park and Other Things,” by The Cowsills. They were a family band from Rhode Island? Thx.
Check the June 2013 performance of the Cowsills "The Rain..." here on UA-cam. I know it's sweetened up a bit but it's great nonetheless!
You have done great analyses on 4 of my 5 favorite female singers (Chrissie Hynde, Karen Carpenter, Patsy Cline and Linda Ronstadt). I would love for you to do an episode on my fifth favorite female singer-Alison Moyet.
I understand she is much more well known in the UK, but she has a very loyal following in the U.S.. I know she is tired of the comparisons to Adele, but there is no escaping the fact that her range and powerful, yet soulful, voice invites such comparisons.
How did I miss this? The greatest female voice in Rock.
Never heard anything like it. I understand she teamed up with Stevie Nicks, of all people! My heroine.
The quicker tempo is the first thing I noticed as soon as the song started.
I have loved Chrissie/The Pretenders since the first time I heard The Wait on KROQ In the summer of 1978, a harder rocking song you’ll never find. It was a long Wait until the Christmas shopping season 1978 when the album/Brass in Pocket was finally released. She has one of the most distinctive/stylized voices in Rock and has written a great, interesting songs, including some with very different time signatures.
Have seen her live twice, most recently in the mid 2000s as the middle act with ZZ Top and the Stray Cats-great show!!!
Thanks for filling in her history. I have her autobiography, but haven’t finished it yet. A couple of interesting factoids: she was going to Kent State and knew one of the victims that was slain by the National Guard in 1970 (so did DEVO) and she had her first baby by Ray Davie if the Kinks. What great music. What a fascinating life. Thanks for featuring her. Rock!
One of those songs that I fell in love with the very first time I heard it and never gets old.
ahh :) just love it . This band's first two albums will be part of any record collection I own. Love them. Thank you Fil for even just playing them and although, back then, I thought that they could never replace James Honeyman-Scott (brilliant guitarist) or Pete Farndon (who played in Aussie bush band "The Bushwackers" for a while before the Pretenders started... check out a track called the Lachlan Tigers) , the Pretenders never lost a beat and this track, some 30 yrs plus, just shows that this band need never slow down :)
Always loved The Pretenders and this song in particular. Great to see Chrissie on your channel Fil.
I got her on my library. "Chain Gang!" 😄
How about some Patti Smith next? She’s still out there rocking and she’s over 70.....
