Ten years after Morrissey's Meltdown festival I was back for Chrissie Hynde at the Royal Festival Hall tonight. Chrissie played most of or maybe all of her new album 'Stockholm' then played some songs by Jarvis Cocker, Neil Young and finally in the middle segment 'Everyday is Like Sunday' which she introduced simply as being by one of her very favourite songwriters (or words to that effect), but didn't mention his name. I thought her version sounded pretty good. There was no singing along from the audience but it did get a pretty bid round of applause. After EDILS she broke out Pretenders tunes and finished the encore with 'Dark Sunglasses' the catchiest tune off the new album. Being back at the RFH brought back happy memories of seeing Morrissey there twice with the big red 'ELVIS' letters, Alain's mysterious absence, speaking to Angela from this site when queuing for tickets. Oh those were happy days for me. This evening was pretty happy for me too. Chrissie's voice sounded great and the band were tight. Hello to the guy wearing the 'Years of Refusal' Tee shirt on the 5th floor if you're reading this!
