Post Description

Recorded live as a direct-to-DVD release, Loose in L.A. finds Chrissie Hynde and company buoyed by the excitement of an intelligent and largely female audience--which is good, since Hynde is fending off something (allergies?) that led, she says, to a shot of cortisone before the show. There are no signs of ill effect as the band digs into a deep, funky groove -- alternating with flights of pop delirium -- on "Message of Love," followed by the jagged-edged "The Homecoming," rabid prophesying of "Fools Must Die," and sexy rockabilly of "Rebel Rock Me." Hynde's brash brilliance captivates on everything, from her still-startling vocal for "Tattooed Love Boys" to her swaying, witty testifying on the reggae-flavored "Complex Person." Martin Chambers (drums), Adam Seymour (lead guitar), the lugubrious Andy Hobson (bass), and Zeben Jameson (keyboards, percussion) keep arty, acrobatic pop-rock hooks aloft while drawing out bluesy undercurrents. Indispensable stuff for Pretenders fans. 

This is one of the greatest concert videos I have ever seen. It's a rock solid 2-hour concert from February 2003 that shows the Pretenders at the peak of their powers. They deliver some riveting versions of some of their best early hits like Brass in Pocket, Back on the Chain Gang, My City Was Gone, and Don't Get Me Wrong, along with recent classics like I'll Stand by You, The Night in My Veins, Biker, and You Know Who Your Friends Are. The band is at the top of their game. Chrissie is an absolute riot - irreverent, exhilirating, sexy as ever and funny as hell! This is a genuine tour-de-force performance by a band that embodies the essence of rock: rebellion, passion, and fun. I have been a fan of this group since day one, and I really think this is the best thing they have ever done. If you are a fan of the Pretenders, or if you just enjoy great rock and roll, get this DVD and have fun! 

Recorded live at the Wiltern Theatre on February 2003.
