Nicks emerged to perform the solo songs from her “dark trunk” in a voice untarnished by age. Imagine The Craft, as furnished by Pottery Barn. Lord knows what would have happened if she’d been toting a camera phone.Ĭlosing with Hynde’s signature final cry from Brass in Pocket, the Pretenders exited, allowing the stage to be reset in the style of a seance, complete with teardrop light globes and rustic chandeliers. Hynde took it in stride, cheerfully handing the woman a coveted guitar pick. Sitting behind them, you start to see where Hynde is coming from.Īs the set wore on, her fans grew more excitable a lone woman rushed the stage and began gyrating against the barricade, while a security guard could only impotently squat beside her and beg her to stop. Meanwhile, from the safety of the stalls, a man and woman struggled with the flash function of their iPhone camera as they tried to capture – in focus – themselves, their beers and the Jumbotron. During just their second song, Hynde began yelling out to the front rows, “Put your camera away,” which may not have been the “exclusive” interaction those guests had hoped for when they shelled out $500 for the Gold VIP package. It was the band’s first gig since Hynde angrily stormed off stage in Dubai last week, calling the audience “cunts” after they declined to put away their phones. Hynde walked out wearing her own merch – for the Pretenders, naturally – and delivered a rousing rockabilly set, with only one tender singalong in Hymn to Her. It was like an impromptu Ren Faire hosted in Mad Max’s Bartertown. A whopping injection of female fused musical power – a love letter to the faithful.Of course, the colliding fandoms of Nicks and Hynde made for interesting cohabitation, with scores of women in black peasant blouses and top hats passing men in tattered Suzi Quatro tees. “As women rock stars go, there aren’t much cooler than Stevie Nicks and Chrissie Hynde. “Let’s face it, there’s something downright magical to Stevie Nicks… The sexiest voice on the planet.” – Phoenix New Times And Nicks in all her witchy allure proved she still reigns supreme.” – Houston Chronicle
Chrissie most recently released the album Stockholm and a 2015 memoir, Reckless: My Life As a Pretender, hailed by the New York Times upon its release as “honest and distinctive… first and foremost, a love letter to rock and roll.” The band has sold in excess of 25 million albums and founder and leader Chrissie Hynde is one of contemporary music’s greatest songwriters. The Pretenders cross the bridge between punk, new wave and Top 40 pop music with unparalleled style, and with hit songs like Brass In Pocket, I’ll Stand By You, Back On The Chain Gang and Don’t Get Me Wrong. “It’s been thrilling to get on stage each night and sing some of my early gems from early in my career along with getting the chance to sing the material from my last two albums, In Your Dreams and 24 Karat Gold – Songs From The Vault”, says Stevie Nicks.
