The Pretenders with Chrissie Hynde, live at the PinkPop Festival in Landgraaf, NL on 6/11/1984. This set was recorded and broadcast by VPRO in the Netherlands.

The Pinkpop Festival takes place over three days in Landgraaf, The Netherlands. In the beginning, the Pinkpop Festival was on Pentecost Monday, but since then, it has grown to a three-day event. The name comes from the Dutch word for Pentecost (Pinksteren) and Pop music, and the logo is based on the Dutch word Pop, for doll. It’s now held on Pentecost or dates close to it. The Guinness Book of Records lists it as the oldest, continuous running pop festival in the Netherlands.

"People, here I am again, now. I'm drinkin' with my friends. I drink wine like water, I might not live tomorrow." ~Devils Daughter 

 

 Lester is in fine form and feelin' good from first to last. A scorching version of "Devil's Daughter" opens with LB blowing his face off, as they say. And if you don't get the chills listening to "Black Hearted Woman" then there's no blood in your veins.

"Walked through the fire,
Back from the dead.
Black hearted woman,
went and stole him back again.
Man, you know that ain't right."

A very prophetic song as Lester Butler died of a drug overdose on May 9, 1998
