Pretenders - "Brass in Pocket". VH1 Fashion Awards 1995

[@anemoi9]

AND, . . . you've got to LOVE that T-shirt! LIBERTY

[@LarzGustafsson]

One of the best tunes by one of the best bands ever.

[@AC-ff1cn]

A Queen

[@reggierico]

"I'm gonna make you notice me" A very special example of Chrissie's raw talent and ability to capture the audience, totally. By the end of this great song, she had everyone in the palm of her hand. Talent, charisma, sultry beauty voice and the ability to combine them all in a song makes this a very special, unique example of Chrissie's talent. Surprised there's not 20 million views...

[@ivanjulian2532]

And she was 44 years old during this performance. How many 44 year old women have you seen over the years who have that amount of attitude and sassiness? She was totally kick ass in this performance.

[@smarleyjoe3569]

at leaset 20 views are mine lol.

[@RTmadnesstoo]

They were mesmerized, silent. Amazing!

[@norbiudeako518]

Not to mention that four foot wide stride.

[@anemoi9]

Pure poetry, man, . . . pure poetry. " I want to haaave your affection . . . GIVE IT TO MEEEE!"

[@johnwilde6120]

Man, Woman it shouldn’t matter. She’s is a legend and wrote some of the best iconic songs in rock. Pretenders have always held their own. The band has gone through so many up’s and extremely low’s and came out the other side and spoke to a generation...🎶😎🎶

[@kemposoefi]

So absolutely timeless!!! When it came out I was about 14 y.o., now almost 54, I am playing this song. Until my dying day... Rock on!

[@blacktailedscorpion5997]

I saw them is concert in Florida years ago and they sang this for there first song and there last song. They were great. God bless you all.

[@michaelbenenson]

One of the most remarkable voices in music.

[@dynjarren7523]

She was blessed with natural talent and looks. She moved from Ohio to London and becomes a Female Rock Icon. I’m still a fan after all this time!

Wow. Special is a gross understatement of her greatness. 🔥🔥🔥

[@RobClarke-rm6vv]

Insanely hot performance……those legs!…..wow.!😎

[@IamMagPie]

This is such a great song. I especially love how it uses an unexpected chord and low bass note on the part "Nobody else here". Superb performance ang excellent live vocal. An inspiration for today's musicians.

[@charliechan578]

Yes it’s a difficult song to learn I’m just learning the guitar

[@qthush303]

Dang great legs even in 1995

[@michaelulbricht9438]

Chrissie never let all the tragedy and other setbacks keep her from moving on. She's still rockin' to this day. One of the all time greats!

[@dianainclan2021]

What tragedy? What happened to her

[@michaelulbricht9438]

@@dianainclan2021 The death of the outstanding, sonically unique guitarist James Honeyman-Scott and having to release Bassist Pete Farndon due to drug issues. To lose both, particularly James, to drug overdoses after they released their second album would have caused most people to call it quits. Because of Chrissie's fortitude and determination, The Pretenders still carried on and continued to make quality albums. In fact, to this day Chrissie's still going strong at nearly 70 years old. A truly amazing, talented, and strong Woman.

Her voice is the truth of Rock that she graciously shares with us. I never get tired of it... :)

I love her voice and music. Brass in Pocket has always been my favorite as a child. She is so inspiring and because of her I always had a dream to be on stage like that presenting my music. ❣️

THE absolute best Chrissie Hynde video in existence. I'm also speechless. Wow!

I concur ☮🥰

[@davidleigh443]

She was insanely sexy in this performance. Age 44, I believe, and she crushed it.

[@shellytigress6487]

This lady is the real deal of Rock. She's got everything that makes her one of the leading Ladys of Rock and Roll. Dont ever count her out. Love seeing her kick it with this song.

Just what do mean "44?"

[@brandonbentley5453]

I'm that now...I'm doing fine...didn't ruin my body with drugs etc so yeah you dont age if you take care of yourself. But yeah I saw her couple three years ago in upstate NY festival, she looked the same really and sounded awesome. Chrissie never lost her hardcore...

[@dannordenbrock483]

Nothing sexier than a rocking gal with a hell of a voice, great body, good character and morals, sense of humor and love of fun, and an active and smart brain!

I was 14 years old, in boarding school in Canada and so in love with Chrissie Hynde 😍 I'm almost 56 and the love never died

[@mootpoint7053]

She sure could wear those high-heeled boots! What a talent she still is today. Her voice is one of my favorites from female vocalists.

[@robf6105]

I remember seeing this when it first aired and being shocked at how good it was. The Pretenders hadn't really been on my radar screen at the time. I can't believe it was 26 years ago! Her look and moves here remind me of the late Christina Amphlett of DiVinyls, But Chrissie is her own woman. Huge talent.

[@rothgartheviking858]

Thats the total package. She is amazing.

[@takehide8525]

Without a doubt,the best rock performance of all time Well done Chrissie😳💣🧨💥🤩😍

[@BrennerBay]

Saw the Pretenders back in ‘85 in Gainesville Fl. They were awesome...the drummer did this thing where he’d send drumsticks sailing out into the audience...Chrissie was just as amazing then as she is here.What a great band.

[@M.O.G.]

Thanks to whoever posted this or shared it I really appreciate it. I've never seen her do this live,this is a great first time experience.

[@peteolson6093]

Chrissie says in her autobiography that she never really liked this song; I've always loved it.

[@GaryWoodman]

She wrote it with James Honeyman Scott. I'm just guessing; perhaps she has embraced it as one of her signature songs, out of respect for Scott. I've always loved it too, one of my favourites. Even the official video here on KZbin.

[@BlueMax114]

She is so Badass and what a Voice and style like no other

Holy moly. How have I never seen her without the guitar and the tomboyish outfits, getting all sultry here instead, and totally pulling it off! Her attitude made me fall in love with her in the early 80s. But I never saw her like this. Wow. What a powerhouse.
