This review is from: The Pretenders - Live in London [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

I'm not only owner of this Blu-Ray but the CD/normal DVD combo and its a great show , played with passion and filmed in a very artistic and dramatic way.....it has edge and power and Chrissie is still rockin as hard as ever and sounding fabulous!!! What more could a fan want? Chrissie is all attitude and her vocals are as formidable as ever and her new band is crackin.
For any band with as long a track record there will of course be songs left off and a few newer ones obliged to toss in to keep things current but those would be picky complaints. I don't want to get into comparing this to the Loose in LA show which is also a HD filmed event featuring the wonderful Adam Seymour you really should own both!
25 songs plus a funny extra bit of footage...and a sort of retro feel to the film..I just love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretenders Still Rockin', August 20, 2010

I definitely recommend this DVD recorded live in London, 2009. It is one of the best concert videos I have ever watched, and since Chrissie Hynde is only 2 months older than I am, I'd tell anyone, SHE'S STILL GOT IT. Her voice is as good as it was back in the early 80's, and her stage presence is right on the money. She has the original drummer with her, but sadly I believe I heard the other two original members are now deceased. But Chrissie, the drummer, and the three newer members (added a steel guitar player) play some kick--- songs. Middle of the Road sounds as good now as it did back in 1984-85. The DVD is Blue-Ray, and when I played it through my Bose Home Theatre System, the quality made you feel like you were right there in London watching the show!! You will not be disappointed...buy it!!!

This is how I like to see concerts shot. Straight foreword with no annoying gimmicks.
