Don't get me wrong: Did Chrissie play here?
Hey gang, here's a question that's been nagging Karen of Orlando. See if anyone can help her out:
Hello. I'm in the way-back machine and trying to get the date of the concert I saw at the Sun Dome in the late '80s. Might have been 1987 or 88? Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders rocked the place, and three of us motored over from Orlando for the show.
It was one of the best live performances I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of concerts. Trouble is one of my friends who went along now claims she never saw the Pretenders at all and wasn't even with us! Anyway, I was just curious if you or anyone from the blog was there or maybe remember this show.
Chrissie made a comment about how we should all bomb Burger Kings, and I think she had to issue an apology later. I also remember how she said it was tacky but she used the chrome plate on the front of her guitar as a mirror and added more makeup, not that she needed more. Anyway, she's such a great performer, it was a great show. Any clues or recollection of it? Anyone who might know the date?
A thousand thank-yous from Karen in O-town...
