  In 1995, the Pretenders performed "Brass in Pocket" at the VH1 Fashion Awards, showcasing their enduring presence in the rock scene. By this time, the band was riding the momentum of their 1994 album, *Last of the Independents*, which marked a successful return after a brief hiatus and showcased a more mature sound. The live performance at Radio City Music Hall highlighted their ability to captivate audiences, even as they adjusted to the evolving musical landscape of the 1990s. Interestingly, the year before, the Pretenders had released the hit single "I'll Stand by You," which became one of their most recognizable tracks. This success, coupled with the live recording at a high-profile event, demonstrated not only the band's resilience and relevance but also their capacity to blend rock with pop sensibilities, thereby reaching a broader audience.
