Chrissie Hynde and her band, The Pretenders, was the opening act for Stevie Nicks. I try to see Stevie whenever she is around and we are sometimes treated to great opening acts. This was no exception.
We are back at SAP Center in San Jose this time. We stopped at the Louisiana Bistro before the show. Sadly this establishment closed down and we miss it. I’m not really into Cajun spices but this place had a little of everything. We try to get to the venue early since the traffic from our house down to San Jose can get kind of backed up.
And we had reasonable seats too. I did know a lot of her songs and she was a very personable performer, really reacting to and interacting with the crowd.
Here’s some of Brass in Pocket.
I love it when the songs sound just like they do on the radio. Makes it much easier to sing along.

So now I have a real problem. As I was trying to get my next post ready I ran into a snag in that I HAVE NO MORE SPACE FOR PICTURES/VIDEOS on my WP unless I upgrade. So now do I give in and upgrade again or do I take the time to go back to some of my older posts and delete them? GRR. I have to finish this A to Z so I may have to bite the bullet. I was not ready for this.

The band’s name sounds familiar…

I love Chrissie and the Pretenders, and I love Rock’n’Roll, and why is this song not on the list?
Re: WordPress and space limitations, didn’t that happen during a previous A – Z Challenge?

It may have! And I bought more but now I don’t want to spend the money to get a bunch of features I don’t use.

I always think that I don’t like them but then when I hear one of their songs I actually tap my feet to it so deep down I really must like them. WAIT a minute…. you ran out of room? OH MAN! What about ARCHIVING some of the older posts? Is that an option? I do not have a paid site so I hope that does not happen to me. I will be forced to make another one! I wish you luck however you take care of it.

I’ll have to look at what happens if I archive. For right now I’m deleting posts and pictures from 2017 and 2018. Except for my A to Z’s because I refer back to them. It will be a mess when the links don’t work! LOL

I did know that song, but I’m not familiar with any song titles, unless I hear them like this one. Sounded like a fun performance, though!
I hate that WP limits the media storage. I’ve been out for ages, and it’s so hard to delete my photos, and I’m already updated all I want to. So… once in awhile I can sneak a new photo in, but mostly I just have to use old ones. Good luck! 🙂

It’s just having to go through all the old ones to find the one I want!
