Notes:
Surprisingly, this one doesn't seem to be in circulation and I'm not sure why. It was an FM broadcast that apparently went out across the nation (DJ makes reference to this). Yet, I've never seen it in the Pretenders bootlegs web pages and it rarely shows up in traders pages as well.

This is from my cassette master but in a sort of roundabout way. Some friends recently did a new transfer from the master tape (in 2015) and there unfortunately were a few dropouts. It looks like this excellent version of the show fell of the tracker so here it is again, enjoy.

This is an updated 2017 transfer of a show I first shared in 2008. The original version was done on subpar equipment and ran fast, shared before I could handle pitch adjusting, etc.

This updated transfer has been pitch adjusted and cleaned of invasive audience noies.

The show debuted the newly formed and short-lived five piece band after the deaths of James Honeyman-Scott and the recently fired Pete Farndon.

Eleven days later the band would play to their largest ever audience at the 1983 US Festival.

The performance is solid and the quality is excellent from start to finish. Highly recommended even for the casual fan. Samples provided and artwork included.

Notes:
The Pretenders were, in some ways the consummate 1980's band. The music was pure, uncomplicated, and great to listen to. This show was recorded later in their careers, at the Pavillion in Chicago. After a string of hits in 1983-5, their sound had matured and become more sophisticated.
