Chrissie Hynde - The Pretenders - 1980 New York City

In the words of the photographer, Brian Diamond,

"The Pretenders also graced the Palladium stage. Chrissie Hynde fronted an edgy male trio that complemented her “in your face” lyrics and musical prowess. Not many women at this time were successful at fearlessly embracing the rock medium; Patti Smith was probably Chrissie’s only equal at that moment. Yet here she was, helming a group that, sadly, would be short two founding members all too soon: James Honeyman-Scott (guitar) and Pete Farndon (bass) would succumb to heroin overdoses in ’82 and ’83 respectively."

Hand-matted and individually signed and numbered by the photographer. A limited edition of only 50 of each size.
