Heatwave Festival, Mosport Park, Bowmanville, Canada, 8-23-1980, Part 3: The Pretenders

Next up for the 1980 Heatwave Festival is a set by the Pretenders.

At the time of this concert, the Pretenders had released their first album in 1979, simply titled "Pretenders," but were still a year away from releasing their second album, "Pretenders II." So most of the songs were from their first album, but two of the songs, "The Adultress" and "Louie Louie," were from the coming second album. Additionally, "Porcelain" only came out as a B-side and on an EP.

There has never been an officially released live album from the early years of the Pretenders, although a full 1981 concert has been released as bonus tracks for the deluxe edition of "Pretenders II."

The sound quality is excellent, since the festival was professionally recorded, even though it's all officially unreleased. There were no problems.

This album is 56 minutes long.
