Pretenders Concert History

Pretenders are a rock band who came to prominence during the punk and new wave movement of the late 1970s due to their innovative songwriting and charismatic performances. The original band consisted of group founder, songwriter, vocalist, and rhythm guitarist Chrissie Hynde, lead and rhythm guitarist James Honeyman-Scott, bassist Pete Farndon, and drummer Martin Chambers. Save for Hynde, a native of Akron, Ohio, the original band members were all from the U.

Sounds like a good show! I believe the original guitarist and bassist were still with them then. I know there was quite a few shows at UMASS around that time, as well.

I saw the Pretenders at Southeastern Ma university No Dartmouth Ma in February 1981. Opening Act Alan Walker band (I think). Not listed on your site.
