A must for Pretenders fans! Great video, great music, great songs! If you are a select song Pretenders fan, then skip to 41, then 107 with a few song skips. The short solo drum play is a strange scene.

"SUPER, SUPER, SUPER GOOD CONCERT DVD!!! I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF CHRISSIE HYNDE AND THE PRETENDERS EVER SINCE THEY CAME OUT BACK AROUND 1979. THEY ARE INDUCTEES INTO THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME IN CLEVELAND, OHIO, WHICH IS NEAR CHRISSIE'S HOME TOWN OF AKRON, OHIO. IF YOU LIKE CHRISSIE & THE PRETENDERS, THIS IS A "MUST HAVE" CONCERT DVD!!! ITS THEIR ONLY CONCERT DVD THAT I'M AWARE OF, AND I THINK THEY MIGHT BECOME DISCONTINUED, SO IF YOU GET THE CHANCE TO BUY ONE, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!! I ENJOY MINE SO MUCH, I EVEN KEEP SPARE DVD OF THIS CONCERT AROUND.

I BELIEVE CHRISSIE AND THIS BAND ARE SIMPLY OUTSTANDING AND ARE FAR UNDERRATED. THIS CONCERT DVD PROOVES THEY ARE EXCELLENT PERFORMERS!!!

YOU GET ONE OF THEIR GREATEST LINEUP'S IN THIS DVD: CHRISSIE ON GUITAR & LEAD VOCALS, ADAM SEYMOUR ON LEAD GUITAR, ANDY HOBSON ON BASS, MARTIN CHAMBERS (A FOUNDING MEMBER ALONG WITH CHRISSIE) ON DRUMS, AND ZEBEN JAMESON ON KEYBOARDS. THIS MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL LINE-UP WITH THE LATE JAMES HONEYMAN-SCOTT, AND THE LATE PETE FARDON, HOWEVER THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST LINE-UP SINCE THEN!!!

YOU GET 26 SONGS WITH AN APPROX. RUN TIME OF 140 MINUTES. YOU GET SOME SONGS FROM THEIR "LOOSE SHREW" ALBUM CD, SUCH AS "YOU KNOW WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE", "THE LOSING", "COMPLEX PERSON", AND "NOTHING BREAKS LIKE A HEART". YOU ALSO GET THEIR CLASSICS: "MESSAGE OF LOVE", "MY BABY", "TALK OF THE TOWN", "MY CITY WAS GONE", "BACK ON THE CHAIN GANG"(THIS ONE REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF COLLEGE SPRING BREAK 1983), "DON'T GET ME WRONG", "KID", "NIGHT IN MY VEINS", "TATOOED LOVE BOYS", "PRECIOUS", "I'LL STAND BY YOU", "MIDDLE OF THE ROAD" (CHRISSIE PLAYS A MEAN HARMONICA ON THIS ONE!!!), "MYSTERY ACHIEVEMENT", AND THEIR FIRST HIT "BRASS IN POCKET"!!!!

THIS IS ONE SUPER, SUPER, SUPER OUTSTANDING CONCERT DVD, BUT YOU BETTER GET ONE BEFORE THEY BECOME DISCONTINUED!!! YES, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE!!! THANKS FOR READING MY REVIEW!!! MAY GOD BLESS!!!!"

"I actually made this purchase for my wife but founnd the dvd to be very entertaining.The band is really in the pocket for the entire show and Chrissie Hynde is quite funny and engageing between songs. I felt that the sound and camera angles were spot on and the long set list was great. I would consider it an exceptional view for the price."
