Is there anything sexier (or more rock and roll) than Chrissie Hynde strapping on a guitar and stepping up to the microphone to sing a Pretenders’ song? OK maybe it’s Hynde putting down the guitar to let us use our imagination as she struts across the stage singing Brass in Pocket. Or when she starts playing the harmonica in Middle of the Road. Heck, even her clumsy dance at the start of Mystery Achievement will get your motor running. Get the picture? Unlike today’s pop tarts who think acting like a stripper without a pole is sexy on stage, Hynde embodies everything that’s hot about rock just by being herself. This excellent Blu-ray concert film captures it all, including the excellent sound. The backstage footage on the extras gives fans a chance to listen to the band talk about how (and why) decades after first hitting the scene with their classic debut album, The Pretenders only get better with age.
