Back on the Chain Gang - Pretenders - swindon 2018

[@belindaintexas8789]

Her voice is still absolutely amazing ... Incredible. Imagine how many times she has sung this song and she still brings it. You go girl! Chrissie Hynde keep on rocking forever !!

[@squeakeththewheel]

One of the best rock stars ever.

[@jackjoffy5911]

I agree

[@jamaicanwash6667]

I totally agree with all the comments! She also looks absolutely gorgeous like she did back in the 80s in her beginnings!

[@laveritaforza108]

His voice is powerful.

[@Heatfarmer]

Absolutely beautiful voice!!

[@howardmckenna]

One of the most unique sounds in rock/pop. The unmistakable voice of Chrissie Hynde.

[@raymondtovey3722]

Sadly Music Now Awful Rapping and Backing Tracks .This Is Real Music .

[@michaelmeeks8301]

True pioneer of what we know as "baby boomers"Rock And Roll!

[@brianwade879]

It's her ! She drew me to her ! Then rocked my socks off ! 🕊️

[@crobbulan]

Aged beautifully, took care of her voice over the years, and still has incredible stage presence. A simply wonderful artist.

[@jackjoffy5911]

I love people like her who no matter how older they get stay young and fresh. Great song, brilliant performance.

[@debraashley8831]

Yes! And sounding better than ever!

[@richcampbell6808]

Some have illnesses that prohibited them staying young looking. Love everyone equal.

[@ladyladidah]

@@richcampbell6808 Why is it that to look young is a marker of greatness or beauty; what a narrow and self defeating marker... We are screwing up humanity and healthy relationships between men and women to be sure to be sure

I'm to fresh and I'm not to young , but I am getting old, and I love to those who's music, I grew up on, and are rocking still today ! 🤟🎶❤️🕊️

She has the most unique and signature vibrato that she deploys in so many of her songs. The Pretenders first album is in my top ten of all time.

[@JohnWilliams-channel]

Tremolo. Vibrato is variance of pitch, Tremolo is variance of volume.

[@Scott_works]

I can't help but remember this song from back in 2011 when my aging mother was in her last days at a nursing home. I visited her every day and on this one the ladies were having Karaoke and my mom was sitting there with them. They were singing old songs from their era and asked if I wanted to sing one. I scrolled through the songs and the only one I saw that I was familiar with was this one. I selected it and did my best to sing along. I was surprised as I read the words, not realizing when I began that they were so strange. Here I was singing it to a group of women in their eighties. This hauntingly beautiful song was what I sang to my mother a week or two before she passed away, and now I will never forget it. In fact, it brings tears to my eyes now when I hear it.

[@lalolbc]

May your mom Rest In Peace. 😔

[@dinbx917]

wow. So great and touching. The magic of music and love

[@shaykatz5648]

Precious memories are a treasure. Every time you hear this, even into your 80's, this song will bring back that sadly precious time. You were very fortunate to have had it.

[@Scott_works]

@@shaykatz5648 Yes, every time I hear that song. It is a melancholy song and a melancholy moment. My mom passed shortly after that event. We had a troubled relationship most of my life. I was adopted as a baby and never could quite figure it out. She was very type "A" and could become aggressive. Her last six months were beautiful as she let down her guard. She took some painful jabs at me but I just took it, and was able to get past her shield and find the mom I was always looking for. I still miss her. Thanks for the comment.

[@RELopez-mk4ic]

God Bless you brother. I always think of my mother when I hear this beautiful song.

[@rodmclean2066]

She's an absolute LIVING LEGEND. !!!!

[@reemclaughlin4260]

I’m lucky enough to have seen them 6 times and she gave me a guitar pick. ♥️☮️

isle of wight festival amazing

[@davidedwards4640]

I can remember in 1982 watching MTV when it first came out, there were no commercials, just music videos, and brass and pocket was on there. And i was hooked! Been listening to the pretenders for over 40 years now her voice is one of kind

[@lifetimes2983]

You will search long and very...hard to ever find another voice like that one. So fine

[@TheMafrand]

Her voice hasn't changed much through the years.

[@belindaintexas8789]

Yes, her voice is still incredible and amazing and awesome ...

[@regularnimnule9715]

Still singing it in the original key. Awesome!

[@itsallspent]

I had a paper route in Boulder County Colorado . As I was driving I listened to a Prenders cassette.

[@robertmarks5438]

I saw the Pretenders mid 80’s. I’m glad she made it through the 80’s when 2 of the band died from drugs in 1983! She still sounds good!

[@badmusicchannel5519]

One of the best song writers of all time. Never get tired of her music.

[@kevlar65]

Not bad for a lady creeping in on 70 years young. She has been blessed with that voice of hers as well.

[@agnostic47]

I've been listening to The Pretenders ever since the first album came out when I was in halls at uni. Still listening over 40 years later.

[@theoneleggedchef]

Omg... the Pretenders have been part of my life more than 40 years now! Thank You!

[@stevebrennan1309]

Awesome!!! Better than ever!!!

[@davejohnson8986]

[@dallaslouie]

Good memories of me and my wife's teenager days.

[@hsatin20]

Oh my god, her voice is still so fresh. Impressive as hell.

[@josephblazek6480]

Thank you so much for your music! I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. The Pretenders were a part of my daily drive. I moved to Florida where I met my wife to be, before I knew I was going to marry her. The date was set for 10/25/1997. We picked our song's for the wedding and we both agreed on "I'LL Stand by you"- as our first dance song. Thank You for such a beautiful song to mark our beginning in life long love. We are going to celebrate our 25 TH wedding anniversary on 10/25/2022. Chrissie you still rock all these moments forever. Talent has no years - just forever memories.

[@garynixon9035]

This was a staple in C TOWN !!!!! I live in Birmingham now hard to find anyone who heard of the Pretenders

[@thomasopdahl1873]

Years ago, when this song first came out, I heard her in an interview where she said people had always tried to "fix" her phrasing. She eventually realized that she had a different internal rhythm that just wouldn't change and she embraced it and here you go. She makes the words fit in exactly the way it takes to make it work exactly the way it should. Dance to the beat of your own drummer.

[@allset9284]

I am 68 years old - this song makes me feel so young no matter how many times I've listened to it over the years and I am sure it will do the same when I am 98 years old - don't know what it is but I thank you for the music that keeps my heart beating!

[@AleMadison]

Same feelings over here, I',m 65 and am currently rehearsig a cover of this beautiful song for a show put together by the singing school I recently decided to attend. Will be about 20 performers, each with a different song of their choosing, supported by a band. So exciting!

[@buddhistpriest1357]

Wow, she looks and sounds great!

[@shjobsearch2195]

[@1LT7]

[@charlie-obrien]

I heard them for the first time on the radio in 1979 (Brass in Pocket) and fell in love with the sound, the style and the voice. I'm still in love with the Pretenders. To me they are one of the finest Rock and Roll bands to ever record.

[@lauracreighton3734]

Awesome voice, awesome musician, awesome band.

[@dynjarren7523]

She’s still great and has one of those special voices. I’ve always enjoyed her singing and songs! 😎🎸👏🏻

[@charlie-obrien]

The Pretenders have been punk, new wave and Rock n Roll. Created their own sound, thanks in part to Chrissie's brilliant and expressive voice. They could never really be labeled. Iconic and lasting. I've been a fan since 1979

[@davidmurray2539]

My God she's brilliant. Her music and vocals hit a sweet spot that's pure bliss and beauty.

[@simonthompson789]

She has been through so many hard times, but age does not change her. This is and always will be one of the great pop songs. What a voice.

[@kenklein9228]

I saw the Pretenders three times back in the 80's, including once when they still had the original lineup. Never did they disappoint.

[@craigforsberg9844]

Saw these guys live for the first time in early fall 2018. One of the best concerts I have seen musically wise and was totally amazed by how here voice sounded. I think she was 65 or 67 when I saw here and thought her voice sounded just like it did in her early days!

[@mavenofmacau6391]

I remember loving this song when I was 6 years old. I read Chrissie used to tear up when performing it, I'm glad she doesn't anymore. 35 years is long enough to get over something. Beautiful song!
