Synopsis

Loose In L.A. is the first Pretenders in concert DVD to be released. The performance was shot live in Hi Def at Los Angeles's historical art deco landmark, the Wiltern Theater. Audio for the show was remixed by award winning Engineer, Guy Charbonneau. The sold-out show was part of the Pretender's US tour in Support of their latest album Loose Screw. Led by the charismatic Chrissie Hynde, The Pretenders have forged a career for themselves that now runs to over 25 years in the business. Always an engaging live act, this concert was recorded in Los Angeles in February 2003. Touring to promote the "Loose Screw" album, the band perform a variety of old and new material. Tracks include "Brass in Pocket," "Talk of the Town," "Back on the Chain Gang," "Kid," "Precious," and many more.

Reviews

kemmellie She complains that she got "a shot of cortisone in her f-ing ass" just so she could perform, and apologizes for her voice, but boy does she ever sound great! Vocals maybe, were not as on as in The Isle of View, but she sings "I'll Stand By You," "Brass in Pocket," "Don't Get Me Wrong," "Kid," and other hits beautifully. She rocks out with "Middle of the Road," "Night in My Veins," "My City Was Gone," and others like the rock star that she is! There's a great guitar solo in "Fools Must Die," and a charming screw-up at the beginning of "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart," but it's great, really. It does take her a few songs to warm up and get comfortable with the crowd, and it could do with some more talk (also the director seems to forget that there is a bass player in the band because Andy Hobson doesn't get much camera time), but the music, vocals, and entertainment is very good. Martin Chambers is "entertaining" during a couple numbers, and if you like Chrissie Hynde, you'll love the DVD.
