Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders!! And that was the opening act! Top notch, also.
She apparently doesn't like to play "Brass in Pocket" for some reason, but other than that they played all their good songs. I particularly like that they played one of her songs that I've always liked, "My City Was Gone".
It goes:
I went back to Ohio
But my city was gone
There was no train station
There was no downtown
Southtown it had disappeared
All my favorite places
My city had been pulled down
Reduced to parking spaces
Ay! Oh! Where did you go, Ohio?
I went back to Ohio
But my family was gone
I stood on the back porch
There was nobody home
I was stunned and amazed
My childhood memories
Saw this world past
Like the wind thorugh the trees
Ay! Oh! Where did you go, Ohio?
I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio
had been replaced by shopping malls
And Muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
Said Ay! Oh! Where did you go, Ohio
Needless to say....they were a great opening act......and then, and wouldn't you know it I was getting a soda at the time, the headliner hit the stage....cue the guitar chord:
Wow, what an awesome concert....one of the 2 or 3 best shows I've ever seen!!!
Who are you?.....Indeed.
Later,
Jeff
