Another "YouTube From Tom"
I was driving around today listening to music when up popped The Pretenders performing "Middle of the Road." It's a great song and they are a terrific band. I have always admired their musicianship and Chrissie Hynde's singing and song-writing. Their discography is pretty epic so it's hard to pick a favorite, but for me "Show Me" is near the top if not the top. Remembering this I hopped on to YouTube for some "Show Me" investigation. In presenting my final results I thought it best to give you a studio recording and a live performance. The audio mix on the live performance is a bit muffled. Anyway, for me the high point of "Show Me" is the insanely great little bridge, which really grooves with unexpected power. In the studio recording it's at 2:05 and again at 3:30. In the live performance it's at 2:10 and again at 3:04 in a little variation of the original riff. Oh, and Robbie McIntosh plays a very nifty guitar solo near the end of the live performance.
