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.

notes by the upoloader
Here's something that's been sitting on my HD for awhile. This comes from a very old cassette. The tape wasn't labeled with a venue or exact date, nor were there any station Id's.
I spent a lot of time researching this tape and having discussion with the tapes owner, Rich. I was able to verify this as being from Boston. I feel very confident about the venue and date now. I also moved the songs around into a more correct sequence. I know there must be several songs missing from this broadcast, I used my educated judgement in making the set list flow in the right order. Rich's tape actually started with the band intros, which i knew was not the start of the show. I feel 99% sure I fixed the sequence. Clearly this isn't the entire concert and sadly 'Brass In Pocket' isn't included. Chris Spedding joins in on 'Stop Your Sobbing' as the final song of the night.

Led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Chrissie Hynde, The Pretenders come to ACL in support of latest album 'Alone', an album that bears all the trademarks of The Pretenders’ legendary canon: raw and rollicking riffs, poignant balladry, taut hooks and indelible melodies – all in service of Hynde’s heartworn, ever-unsentimental songcraft. The set includes the best tracks from 'Alone' along with songs from throughout their stellar history.
