The Pretenders - 2000-02-26 - Chicago, IL (FM)

In 1999, the Pretenders released their 7th studio album, entitled ¡Viva El Amor!, which is Spanish for Long Live Love. The album’s cover photo of Chrissie Hynde was taken by Linda Eastman shortly before she passed away in 1998. While not as successful as the band’s prior disc, Last Of The Independents, Viva El Amor generally received good reviews, including a 4 star rating from Melody Maker and an A- grade from Robert Christgau. This soundboard recording captures the band on tour in Chicago in support of the album on February 26, 2000, a quarter century ago today.
