Produced by FogoLabs, the concert was filmed by Grammy and Emmy Award winning producers and directors Pierre & Francois Lamoureux. The video was shot without the use of cranes, dollies or steadicams to create movement. Instead it is about the band, giving it all and not holding back any, as it does any night when they hit the stage. The filmmakers’ objective was to stay out of the way and capture it within the frame. The band played brilliantly that night and what can be heard and seen on this release is an honest reproduction of that moment in time. There are no overdubs made to the music and no fake crowd noises added. The editing is made to savour moments and the music was mixed and mastered for it to breathe.
“On this triumphant CD/ DVD combo, Chrissie Hynde cranks it up and lets the eye shadow run defiantly down her face while the latter-day Pretenders dish out classics and lesser-known faves that rip the stuffing out of the London O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. If there was any justice, they’d do next year’s Super Bowl.”
