Cuban Slide - The Pretenders video free download

3:20 guitar sounds like something from The Who. This 1981 song still sounds good in 2015. 2:05 loved this part then and still now.

The Pretenders were such an awesome band. This isn't even one of their better known songs and it's still a kick ass song.

The Bo Diddley beat. Timeless, excellent but rarely used today. Shame, really.

Saw the original lineup (the one pictured here) at the Orpheum theater in San Francisco, circa 1981. One of the better shows I've ever seen.

My Favorite pretenders Song!

Another song has a similar riff as the one that begins at 2:05. What is it? It's been driving me crazy for weeks.

B side better than A side (talk of the town EP)

THANK YOU for uploading the full and proper version of this. Wahoo!

The remastered reissue of their first album comes with a second CD containing demos, live cuts, and two tracks from the EP "Extended Play": "Porcelain" and this track. I recommend it. I believe "Cuban Slide" is also on the boxed set.

Jim Martinez

The best Pretenders line-up ever!

I saw them that year also, at the Tennessee theater in Nashville. They were touring to promote the second album. Also saw the Kinks perform there there.

@electrickithara It was on an EP. IIRC it also had "Message of Love" and a live version of "Precious".

Always liked this song. I wish it had been included on one of their albums.
