The Pretenders - VH-1 Storytellers, VH-1 Storytellers Studio, New York City, 6-26-1999

Here's another album from the "Storytellers" TV show. This time, it's the Pretenders.

In 1999, the Pretenders released a new studio album called "Viva El Amor." As part of their tour to support the album, they did a turn on this TV show. However, only two of the songs performed actually come from the album: "Popstar" and "Biker." The rest are classics from earlier albums.

Chrissie Hynde, the band's lead singer and main songwriter, usually has little to no banter between songs in her concerts. But she was quite talkative here, sharing interesting stories. Martin Chambers, the band's founding drummer, also talked some.

All the music on this album is unreleased, except for "Back on the Chain Gang," which made it onto a Storytellers various artists collection.

This album is 45 minutes long.

I couldn't find a good photo from this exact concert. So instead I went with a photo of lead singer Chrissie Hynde at a memorial concert for Paul McCartney's wife, Linda McCartney, in the same year.
