Exactly. In this day and age, they'd be forced to go on Idol or something and they'd be voted off for not showing enough belly and glitter. There's pretty much no music scene anymore. It's just a stockholder's product, like everything else.

Awesome... too bad we can't get a new band like that these days....

After Animal (The Muppets), Martin Chambers has to be my favourite drummer! 8-)

the guitar work starting at 1:30 is what makes me listen to this song

I've always loved this song but just how stoned was the guy doing the sound on this? Chrissie's vocals don't really come out until half way through, the solo was way back in the mix... drums sounded good... still cool to see though!



Happy Birthday Chrissie

I enjoyed all three videos of the Pretenders on Fridays. The video quality is excellent and sharp. How did you manage to make copies so clear from a show that aired in 1980-1981?
Thanks,

@poopologist96 the clips came from an original 3/4" Umatic tape of the show from the vaults.

@basetapes
Now I wonder. Who would have Umatic copies of a network TV show to post to YT?
We had a 3/4" Umatic in the booth at the video club I worked in the 80s and used to copy/edit VHS-BETA. We were actually all BETA (it was better, of course) and the club closed almost to the day that BETA died.

@Knepperify1 I worked on some projects related and thought that these performances were too good to collect dust in the vault.
