Pretenders Still Rock

My wife and I saw The Pretenders for the first time at the Peabody in STL July 18, 2018. They were FABULOUS!!! Chrissy looks, GREAT! Her voice is as strong as ever and so unique. We loved her stage presence as she rocked it with her style, moves, guitar slung low, crowd interaction etc. The band is VERY tight and RED HOT. The lead guitarist and drummer are amazing! That guitarist is unbelievably fast and furious! The opening act, THE RAILS, were awesome too (same guitar player only on acoustic). We loved the set list but wished they would have played longer. Our only complaint is we spent the money to sit in the 4th row and the entire crowd stood during the whole show which is a compliment to to band, but it sure would have been nice to be able to sit down and see from the 4th row. Way to go CHRISSY! Hope you come back to STL soon? ... Read more

10 Stars in St. Louis

Been waiting 30 years to see them, and it was worth the wait. I expected it to be really good, but they far exceeded my expectations. CH's voice and energy is INCREDIBLE, and the amazing JW's lead guitar was on fire. The crowd (mostly gray hairs no less) stood and rocked the entire show - there was no way to stay seated with the Pretender's sizzling energy and perfect sound. I've been a big fan of live music for 50 years (yes I'm 67) and have seen just about everything. They are among the best live bands I've ever seen, and hope they return to St. Louis soon. Don't miss them. ... Read more

Christie tore the place down last night

Martin Chambers is still touring with her, and he absulotely crushed it on his drum set. Do you want to see a lead guitar great? Her guitarist, James Walbourne almost, ALMOST, stole the show. But that’s impossible when Christie sings pitch perfect lead. So many tracks off het first album.....it was like stepping back into my 20s. ... Read more
