Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Rock's great perfectionist: The Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde's tender/sinister croon gave needed power to new ballads like Hymn to her and Chill Factor; and revived the hidden anger of standards like Precious and Bad Boys Get Spanked at Maple Leaf Gardens last night.
