I saw and heard the Pretenders last night July, 19, 2024 at the new MGM Music Hall at Fenway. The band and Chrissie are tight and accomplished, no need to work it too hard, they don't have to making even the fastest demanding stuff look workmanlike. Chrissie's guitar, voice, and stage presence are top of her game. Maybe less passionate than setting out to prove something but 100% able to prove anything. She lets her young excitable boy guitarist take the speed lane but notice the stage as she often is standing dead center with a lot of distance. This is a wom in control and on top of her game. As she has said in the past "we're kind of a Pretenders tribute band." And she and the band did not fail to deliver. Two encores.... felt a little like the audience had to work too hard but... they came back and poured it on. The venue is simply outstanding. I do not think there's a bad seat in the house. I was on main floor and it was either stand with the crowd or cease to view. Great show!

A great rock band. An awesome venue for music. Chrissy Hine’s voice has not changed beautiful!!!

The Pretenders concert in Boston last night was incredible. I knew it would be great, but it exceeded all expectation. Chrissy’s voice is still as rich and strong as ever. The lead guitarist really was fabulous! Orpheum is a great venue to see a show like this. Great acoustics and just the right size.

Wine isn't the only thing hat gets better with age. There is no substitute for musicianship and heart. Chrissie Hynde has that times 100!. They looked cool confident and genuine up there. I will say more when I come down the cloud I'm still on. Thank you Pretenders, kick ass.

Incredible performance. Christie Hynde never sounded better, hard as nails persona with a velvet voice, only drawback were the immature adults that insisted on using their cellphones despite being told repeatedly not to.

If you get a chance to see the Pretenders; just do it! Her voice is amazing! The show is non stop entertainment! I go to a lot of concerts and this is one you do not want to miss! Love the Uptown and Hamburger Mary’s!
