I watched this when it originally aired. Such a great band.

DUDE!! I remember Fridays!! Love that show. Thank you for this. It's two for one. Fridays and Chrissy Hyde

[@DavidInSugarLand]

I believe this was their last televised performance with the original members.

[@judissima]

Ahhh, my Queen!

[@Twotontessie]

Farndon rocked.

[@jimvincent1831]

and damn, his work on Mystery Achievement...just awesome.

[@jamesweldon9726]

I love his bass tone on this song!

[@andrewweber2010]

The best.

[@blown22]

His bass line n so many songs was killer. My personal favorite is "The Wait"

[@chucku.farley6463]

@@blown22 The end of Message of Love.

Pete , Jimmy and Martin all three were tops shelf musicians. Chrissie - a perfect centerpiece for the band. The Pretenders: punk or new wave?

[@timford3599]

Beautifully put. And the question remains all these years later for myself as well as your query Pretenders: punk or new wave??? Nice job Fred!!!

[@jimbertrand7247]

New wave with a punk attitude.

[@andyhempe2878]

New wave = punk light

[@deano09able]

rock'n'roll

[@jamesweldon9726]

Damn Covid. The Pretenders were supposed to be on tour right now...

[@batphink2655]

Nothing like a man made virus and cocktail of various chemicals few of you questioned before rolling up sleeves without question lol! Simple as this it wasn't tested long enough ,hope you're still well?

[@GJCServices]

F'n Great

[@duffbaker9554]

So tight and intense...

[@nsmith1586]

I will share this.

[@lpartilla]

Underrated.

[@joyofsox]

2 people have an "insipid record collection"

[@fredbarnesjr.1044]

Kudos to all the band for this brilliant performance but I have to admit Jimmy's solos stole the show....perfect blend of blues and punk...

[@jamesmusisca7547]

i would have loved to be there crissy's the jewel in the crown

[@seansherrod8725]

For the life of me I STILL can't figure out what the backup vocals are during the bridge

[@chucku.farley6463]

Pete tuned his bass!

[@JohnMoss-l3m]

This is the worst song on Pretenders II! Give us Jealous Dogs at least!! Man..or the English Roses..that woulda been epic.
