Hynde slowed things down for a bit with 'Hymn to Her,' a beautifully haunting ballad, from the Pretenders' 1986 album Get Close, that she dedicated to Stevie. It was followed by the forthcoming single 'Gotta Wait' and then by 'Down The Wrong Way,' from her 2014 solo outing, Stockholm. The first album deep cut, 'Private Life,' was something of a surprise, and the crowd loved every second of it. The set opened with the title track, which sounds like an ode to Iggy Pop with a hypnotic Stooges keyboard line. I was particularly excited because the Pretenders just dropped their first new album in eight years, Alone, last week. She even joked that they've been together for 35 years and 'You only get twenty for murder.' It's her show though, and it has been for some time.

While original drummer Martin Chambers put in an impressive performance, he no longer records with with them. Granted, Chrissie Hynde is the only original, consistent Pretender here after many generations of different lineups, the newest being completely different from any previous incarnations. Even the way I had the opportunity to see Stevie Nicks and the Pretenders on Tuesday night at a nearly sold-out Talking Stick Resort Arena was magical - a last-minute assignment to review the show.

When I think of Nicks, three things come to mind: Fleetwood Mac, the sexiest voice on the planet, and magic, probably in that order. Let's face it, there's something downright magical to Stevie Nicks.
