The latest incarnation of the Pretenders - Hynde, drummer Martin Chambers, guitarist-vocalist Adam Seymour, bassist Andy Hobson and a touring keyboardist- percussionist - deftly backed up Hynde, fleshing out and complicating songs like "Back on the Chain Gang" and a bluesy take on "My City Was Gone." Her soulful delivery on older favorites such as "Talk of the Town" and the aching "Kid" cut close to the original versions her elastic growl still added sulky punch to "Tattooed Love Boys" and "Precious." "I feel f- great, how about you?" Hynde hollered after a run through the single "Message of Love." The singer sounded great as well.

And despite a series of career stutters throughout the '90s, their catalog has aged remarkably well. Since releasing their landmark 1980 debut album, the Pretenders have gone on to blend multiple music eras and currents - classic '60s pop, R&B, melodic punk, reggae - into a signature sound that has landed them in the pantheon of great American rock bands.
