My wife and I saw her a few months ago and was absolutely blown away. This woman is almost 70 years young. Vocals were ageless and all I can say is I wish I will have her energy at 70!! Neil on guitar was perfection as well. 80’s rock is my happy place!
My wife and I were similarly privileged to see one of the last shows of last years tour. They were headed in two weeks to Cleveland to go into the R&R Hall of Fame. You’re right she didn’t miss a note tuns of energy and Neil still kills that guitar. Living Rock Rotalty!
@@michaelasay8587 honestly she sounded just like the album. I think the tickets cost around $75 CANADIAN each…great value for a concert considering what most concerts charge now!
I remember seeing her in concert in the early 2000's and wondering if she could still hit that note. She nailed it and it brought tears to my eyes. Her Hall of Fame induction was way overdue.
You are just scratching the surface when it comes to Pat and her vocals, "Hell is For Children" is a powerhouse, "Fire and Ice", and "Promises in The Dark", are all great numbers.
You have to do “ Promises in the Dark” pure rock, the chemistry between Pat and her band is next lvl with a solo by her husband. So happy they got inducted into Rock Roll HOF this year.
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT class of 1988 here you got me 5 yrs but I remember house party’s also….my top 5 all-time … Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird….Honorable mentions…Lebron James, Tim Duncan, Steph Curry, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar….Happy New Year…
Pat Benatar always stated that she would refuse a nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame unless her husband (and co-songwriter)was nominated as well. That happened this year. You should check out her song Hell Is For Children, an emotional song with a message that needs to be told.
@Name And Address Supplied I did check, thank you. They have checked out several of her songs but that song doesn't come up. Nor do I see it under their channel listing. The reactors Brad and Lex(and a few others) have done this song but nowhere does a reaction from Rob Squad show up.
Precious Time is one of my all time favourite albums. Her cover of Helter Skelter almost surpasses the original and Spider's solo on Promises In The Dark is epic!
This woman was my hero in 1979 when my Mom got the album In the Heat of the Night..I'm pushing 50 and she's still my hero! I saw her live 5 years ago and yep i totally cried when she came on stage lol
Somehow I missed this when you released it... 'All Fired Up' is my favorite Pat Benatar song which is saying A LOT considering how many great songs she's released over the years. Thanks for this one!
If you want Pat to rip your heart out with lyrics while rocking so hard your ears bleed, check out "Hell is for Children." The two should never meet in the same song, but she does it and it works.
This is my favorite song of hers; she starts strong but at a slower pace and builds towards that fantastic finish! She and her husband, Neil Giraldo, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.
Record her at a small venue concert a few years ago. It was her and Neil all acoustic setting. She was a little under the weather but never missed a note or beat. Neil was amazing as well. Took my and gf and mother who is a high fan to see her. Definitely my favorite female singer of all time. I'm so glad Pat and Neil got their dues into the HOF.
Pat Benatar is my favorite artist of all time and this is probably my favorite song of hers. The whole album is great. "Don't Walk Away" is another song from the album with a great message that really shows off her vocal range. All her albums were great. Even her pop albums rocked. The storyteller song "The Outlaw Blues" uses synth with almost no guitar and her vocals are just spellbinding. You can't go wrong with Pat Benatar, please do more!
Love me some Pat Benetar and as a man still very much in love with my high school sweetheart after 25+ years of marriage, Pat and Neil have a very rare marriage in rock and roll and in all of entertainment for that matter.
Tiny in body, but powerful and mighty in voice and presence. So nice to have a song from the late 80s that reminded me of earlier Pat Benatar before the synths predominated in the mid-80s.
Both Pat and Neil Giraldo on Lead Guitar are a team all the way. They opened with this song last time I saw them. Great Band, they were just inducted into the Hall of Fame this year btw. Cheers. Check out 'Invincible' or 'Sex as a Weapon'. Cheers.
And yesterday was her husband/guitar-players birthday (from Cleveland, Ohio, btw): "Happy Birthday to this guy! The love of my life and a damn great father, grandfather and guitar player. 67 years young and still superb!"
I would just love a reaction to PB Promises in the Dark. Pat, Neil and the band blow this away. This is a great rock song. Also, the Crossroads on CMT with Pat and Martina McBride is incredible. Those voices from those petite ladies just amazes me.
My number one favorite Pat Benatar song, I remember working at the factory and when we all went to lunch I was younger so I couldn’t get in the bar ,but they would all come back lit up so I started taking my own six pack and I’d guzzle those cans down and then we go back and drive the forklift ,get everything ready so the Night Shift could load the trailers,We have the radio playing through the PA speakers and this song was all over the radio in 1988, back then my life was moving faster than a Meteorite, I lived and I learned from my mistakes, the deepest cuts were definitely healed by faith ,Sober for 4 1/2 years now and I’m in a much better place in time
You've hit it! Pat Benatar is always Rockin'!! This was her return to her Rock side following some mellower albums during her pregnancy and becoming a mom. She was full throttle here!
One of the top ladies of rock! Pat is one of the reasons I wanted to be a singer. This song is easily in my top 5 by her. Also, her and Neil are a match made in rock heaven.
Love Pat. She's been married to her guitar player for 40 years. They tour now as Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo. And they were inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame together as a duo which was really cool.
I love this song too! We had the opportunity to see her live in 2001 at the LA County Fair and she can really belt it out when she sings! She rocked us out all night long! She's fantastic! I am so glad that Pat Benatar along with her husband Neil Giraldo were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last month! They deserve this recognition and much more! A bonus for us is when watching Pat Benatar perform live we also got to hear and see her husband shred on that guitar of his; OMG it is so awesome to hear him play too! Then next song YOU TWO SHOULD REACT TO NEXT by Pat Benatar is "Promises in the Dark", "Fire and Ice", "You Better Run", "Little Too Late" and "We Live for Love" just to name a few. Enjoyed your reaction! ☮💕
My favorite song by her is Hell Is For Children. The story behind it is amazing. Studio didn't want it on the album, but she said "no song, no album" and gives the royalties from it to help battered children. That's commitment to the cause
@@randybliss6480 Mine too. It's why I identify with it so strongly and deeply admire Ms Benetar and her husband for their support and advocacy for the cause. There really are such things as celebrities with a conscience
This song was actually a cover of an original by an Australian band called Rattling Sabres... this song reached #19 on the charts and was her last top-40 hit. Hadn't heard this in a LONG time....
My all-time favorites are: Outlaw Blues, We Belong, Invincible, Love is a Battlefield, and All Fired Up. She's my favorite Lady of Rock..... none can touch her performances.
Pat Benatar is considered a solo act but her husband, guitarist Neil Giraldo has been with her from the start. They were actually inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame together as a group.
The 1st time I heard this song was on the F1 1988 season review "Honda all fired up" and then bought the LP this song is on. Man how did I miss this in the 80s?
I agree with everyone who suggested "Promises In The Dark" for your next reaction. There is a high note in the middle of the song that she hits that will blow you away. Love that song.
My favorite songs by Pat are Promises in the Dark and Fire and Ice. A hidden gem is Le Bel Age. Fantastic singer and Spider is a great guitarist. Glad they are still rocking it out. It really is a pretty deep catalogue.
Pat and Neil , her husband, did a detour in the early 90s and made an album of blues and jazz with a big band sound . True love is the name of the album and the title track would be a great listen for a change of pace . Pat nailed the entire album .
For more rocking Pat Benetar check out her late 80's song Invinvicible . She also has some other songs that show the versatility of her opera trained voice . Her debut song We Live For Love where she sings high all the way throughout . A year or two after Kate Bush released Wuthering Heights in 1978 Pat did a cover of it . Kate's re- recording of Wuthering Heights (New Vocals 1986 ) for her greatest hits album is something you check out again with the knowledge that Kate is portraying a ghost, Cathy ( from the famous 1800's novel Wuthering Heights )who comes baçk to haunt the love of her life, Heathcliffe and Wuthering Heights was the estate she grew up on .
She pretty much disappeared after this album switched to some blues releases but was essentially gone from the music scene. "Little to late" is an old but good one, Pat is still an amazing performer just one of the greatest female vocalists. Her and her husband were just an incredible team.
Saw her in a small venue/bar in Frederick, MD back in the 90s. I was standing no more than 10 feet away from her while she rocked the place for 2 hours. Great night! Jay and Amber, if you really wanna hear the range of her voice, check out her song "We Live for Love".
In high school Pat wanted to be an opera singer. She chose right and went to rock n roll but she remains a trained opera singer. Amazing voice and just finally made the rock n roll hall of fame.
This was written and originally recorded by the Australian band Rattling Sabres. Kerryn Tolhurst, who was the band's guitarist, told us how this song came together: "I was in Melbourne, Australia in 1988 where I had a band called Rattling Sabres. I bought myself a new amp - a vintage Marshall combo - and when I got it home I plugged in my beloved Gretsch Nashville and out came this riff and chord progression. I had some lyrics kicking around with a working title "Working Against The Clock"... they fit perfectly. The band then recorded the song and it came out as a single on the Mighty Boy label. On a trip to LA someone from Mighty Boy was playing the song to an A&R person at Chrysalis Records when Pat Benatar's manager happened to pass by. She needed a single for her new album and after changing some lyrics to suit her female point of view it was recorded and released. (Songfacts.com)
Thanks y'all Great Female Friday Choice I think my favorite part of this one is the Lyrics of the Backing Vocals on the chorus... Just "carries" the song naturally.. Then same lyrics are toward the end when Pat sings all soft, quiet, then building to the Finish🎶👍
I saw her for that tour. It was the Wide Awake in Dreamland Tour.I saw her perform at Franklin Pierce College (now university) in New Hampshire on November 18, 1988 . It was a small venue (FPC Fieldhouse) and it was standing room only. I pushed my way up to the front of the stage. She still preformed like she was headlining an arena. Rhythm Corps was the opening act. Great show!
This was a definitely change, but it is one of my favorite eras of Pat Benatar's music: TRUE LOVE, Pat's full length blues album. You both would definitely loved this time of her music. 1 Bloodshot Eyes 2 Payin' The Cost To Be The Boss (awesome BB King Cover) 3 So Long 4 I've Got Papers On You 5 I Feel Lucky 6 True Love (awesome piece written by Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo, her guitarist husband) 7 The Good Life 8 Evening 9 I Get Evil 10 Don't Happen No More 11 Please Come Home For Christmas
My wife and I saw her a few months ago and was absolutely blown away. This woman is almost 70 years young. Vocals were ageless and all I can say is I wish I will have her energy at 70!! Neil on guitar was perfection as well. 80’s rock is my happy place!
R C...really? She still sounded good huh? I'm think she's 68.
I saw her in 93!!
I saw her and Neil 3 (I think) years ago and she was awesome. Could still hit all the notes she used to.
My wife and I were similarly privileged to see one of the last shows of last years tour. They were headed in two weeks to Cleveland to go into the R&R Hall of Fame. You’re right she didn’t miss a note tuns of energy and Neil still kills that guitar. Living Rock Rotalty!
@@michaelasay8587 honestly she sounded just like the album. I think the tickets cost around $75 CANADIAN each…great value for a concert considering what most concerts charge now!
Jay & Amber, you'll love her "Hit Me with Your Best Shot", "You Better Run" and "Treat Me Right" !!!
...and "Hell Is For Children."
"Hell is for Children" needs to be your next PB song. It's a powerful message that she performs at every concert because of the subject: child abuse.
Hell is for Children is my all time favorite song. It makes me cry every time I hear it.
I agree. She got a lot of flack for it but it’s a very powerful message!
I have been suggesting Hell's For Children for months now
I think "Hell is for Children" is by far her best vocal performance. Rocking and gritty Pat!!
Classic
It is my all time favorite song!
My personal Pat Benatar highlight is Promises In The Dark - an awesome riff, a rollercoaster story, a blistering guitar solo and unexpected drop 👍
I remember seeing her in concert in the early 2000's and wondering if she could still hit that note. She nailed it and it brought tears to my eyes. Her Hall of Fame induction was way overdue.
Original video: I never could figure out who was hotter, Patti or her husband, guitarist Neil Giraldo!
You are just scratching the surface when it comes to Pat and her vocals, "Hell is For Children" is a powerhouse, "Fire and Ice", and "Promises in The Dark", are all great numbers.
100% agree! Those were going to be MY top 3 recommendations! 🤘
All of those plus Hit me with your best shot
Not to mention Shadows of the Night
You have to do “ Promises in the Dark” pure rock, the chemistry between Pat and her band is next lvl with a solo by her husband. So happy they got inducted into Rock Roll HOF this year.
My favorite from her is Fire and Ice. Slow but she really belts it out.
Fire and Ice is one of my favorites
@Wilt Chamberlain is the GOAT class of 1988 here you got me 5 yrs but I remember house party’s also….my top 5 all-time … Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird….Honorable mentions…Lebron James, Tim Duncan, Steph Curry, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar….Happy New Year…
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Pat has the Vocals and Neil on Guitar they are a force that has survived for over 40 years!
Thank God, my absolute favorite.
Pat Benatar always stated that she would refuse a nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame unless her husband (and co-songwriter)was nominated as well.
That happened this year.
You should check out her song Hell Is For Children, an emotional song with a message that needs to be told.
They've already watched it. You should probably check before you comment.
@Name And Address Supplied
I did check, thank you.
They have checked out several of her songs but that song doesn't come up.
Nor do I see it under their channel listing.
The reactors Brad and Lex(and a few others) have done this song but nowhere does a reaction from Rob Squad show up.
Pretty much all listen to is still 80' s pop n rock n my girl pat n Steve Perry I miss them so much
Pat always delivers a message.
Guys, her 1st 3 albums Rock!!
1. In the Heat of the Night.
2. Crimes of Passions
3. Precious Times
Precious Time is one of my all time favourite albums. Her cover of Helter Skelter almost surpasses the original and Spider's solo on Promises In The Dark is epic!
Damn good albums along with Get Nervous
Promises in the dark is totally rock worthy.
Definitely In the Heat of the Night.
as od as it was an d a great departure form her earlier years, Gravity;s Rainbow is a gem in it;s own right
THis period of Pat's work was criminally underappreciated.
My favorite song right along with "Hell is For Children" ✌️
This woman was my hero in 1979 when my Mom got the album In the Heat of the Night..I'm pushing 50 and she's still my hero! I saw her live 5 years ago and yep i totally cried when she came on stage lol
Somehow I missed this when you released it... 'All Fired Up' is my favorite Pat Benatar song which is saying A LOT considering how many great songs she's released over the years. Thanks for this one!
One of my favorite Pat Benatar songs is one of her earliest, We Live For Love.
Pat and Neil are such a rocking combo! You Better Run, Fire and Ice, and Precious Time are really good rockers!
If you want Pat to rip your heart out with lyrics while rocking so hard your ears bleed, check out "Hell is for Children." The two should never meet in the same song, but she does it and it works.
For those who don't know, Pat Benatar covered this song a year after an obscure Australian band made it. Pat's cover is the most widely known version.
This is my favorite song of hers; she starts strong but at a slower pace and builds towards that fantastic finish! She and her husband, Neil Giraldo, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.
Record her at a small venue concert a few years ago. It was her and Neil all acoustic setting. She was a little under the weather but never missed a note or beat. Neil was amazing as well. Took my and gf and mother who is a high fan to see her. Definitely my favorite female singer of all time. I'm so glad Pat and Neil got their dues into the HOF.
Guitar...u don't like Karen Carpenter?
Pat Benatar is my favorite artist of all time and this is probably my favorite song of hers. The whole album is great. "Don't Walk Away" is another song from the album with a great message that really shows off her vocal range. All her albums were great. Even her pop albums rocked. The storyteller song "The Outlaw Blues" uses synth with almost no guitar and her vocals are just spellbinding. You can't go wrong with Pat Benatar, please do more!
My fave song by PB! It’s like my spiritual theme song. Love this song.
Pat Benatar’s voice!!!
Pat Benetar....she is fabulous!
I think this is her best song.
I can save a lot of words by saying that every song she ever released is perfection.
I fully support this comment!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song. One of my all time favorite songs from Pat.
Love me some Pat Benetar and as a man still very much in love with my high school sweetheart after 25+ years of marriage, Pat and Neil have a very rare marriage in rock and roll and in all of entertainment for that matter.
Pat has been a favourite of mine since the 80's. I am off to see her in concert in 4 weeks. She still sings great!!
Tiny in body, but powerful and mighty in voice and presence. So nice to have a song from the late 80s that reminded me of earlier Pat Benatar before the synths predominated in the mid-80s.
She is the female version of Ronnie James Dio 🤘
Both Pat and Neil Giraldo on Lead Guitar are a team all the way. They opened with this song last time I saw them. Great Band, they were just inducted into the Hall of Fame this year btw. Cheers. Check out 'Invincible' or 'Sex as a Weapon'. Cheers.
Pat is fantabulous. Love her music. Straight up kickass rock and roll. ❤🤟🤟
And yesterday was her husband/guitar-players birthday (from Cleveland, Ohio, btw):
"Happy Birthday to this guy! The love of my life and a damn great father, grandfather and guitar player. 67 years young and still superb!"
Pat Benatar doing what she does best with music......kicking ass!!!!1
All right my babies.... I've had the privilege to see Pat benatar live in concert and she in the band were totally explosive ‼️💯🔥💯🔥🎼🎶🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
I would just love a reaction to PB Promises in the Dark. Pat, Neil and the band blow this away. This is a great rock song. Also, the Crossroads on CMT with Pat and Martina McBride is incredible. Those voices from those petite ladies just amazes me.
My favorite Pat Benatar song. First time I saw her was 1979 and several times since.
I love their drummer, such a character!
My number one favorite Pat Benatar song, I remember working at the factory and when we all went to lunch I was younger so I couldn’t get in the bar ,but they would all come back lit up so I started taking my own six pack and I’d guzzle those cans down and then we go back and drive the forklift ,get everything ready so the Night Shift could load the trailers,We have the radio playing through the PA speakers and this song was all over the radio in 1988, back then my life was moving faster than a Meteorite, I lived and I learned from my mistakes, the deepest cuts were definitely healed by faith ,Sober for 4 1/2 years now and I’m in a much better place in time
This is probably my favorite Pat Benatar song. She is simply incredible.
You've hit it! Pat Benatar is always Rockin'!! This was her return to her Rock side following some mellower albums during her pregnancy and becoming a mom. She was full throttle here!
this is Pat rocking at just half power, that's how powerful she is
One of the top ladies of rock! Pat is one of the reasons I wanted to be a singer. This song is easily in my top 5 by her. Also, her and Neil are a match made in rock heaven.
Love Pat. She's been married to her guitar player for 40 years. They tour now as Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo. And they were inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame together as a duo which was really cool.

Nothing like some Pat-Bent-A-Guitar
My favorite song by her is Hell Is For Children. The story behind it is amazing. Studio didn't want it on the album, but she said "no song, no album" and gives the royalties from it to help battered children. That's commitment to the cause
Hell is for Children is my favorite song of all time. It described my childhood perfectly.
@@randybliss6480 Mine too. It's why I identify with it so strongly and deeply admire Ms Benetar and her husband for their support and advocacy for the cause. There really are such things as celebrities with a conscience
Pat Benatar and Martina McBride did a show called Crossroads where they sang each other 's songs! That was amazing!
Great song 🎵. I've never seen her in concert but someone told she opened up with this song. I just love her
Every show I've attended, she has opened with this. But I don't know if she always does, or if it was just a coincidence.
This song was actually a cover of an original by an Australian band called Rattling Sabres... this song reached #19 on the charts and was her last top-40 hit. Hadn't heard this in a LONG time....
She's married to the guitarist. They still tour now....she sounds just as amazing as she did in the 80's..and still looks amazing
My all-time favorites are: Outlaw Blues, We Belong, Invincible, Love is a Battlefield, and All Fired Up.
She's my favorite Lady of Rock..... none can touch her performances.
My all time favorite song of hers
I bought this album my senior year of college. Truly believe it signals her conversion story.
Her husband is her Guitarist Neil. her vocals and his guitar just work so well together. He's been with her from the beginning.
This was the album that was out when my brother showed up and asked if I wanted to go to her concert that evening. I has such a wonderful time.
Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot / Fire And Ice
I so wanted to be Pat Benatar when I was in my teens/twenties. Watched a VH1 show about her that cemented my view of her.
Yes, thank you, love this song!
One of my favourite Pat Benatar songs ever!
One of my favorite Pat Benatar songs!!!
Pat Benatar is considered a solo act but her husband, guitarist Neil Giraldo has been with her from the start. They were actually inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame together as a group.
My favorite of hers, though it's hard to choose..thanks so much for choosing women who don't compromise!
Bee Gees - Lonely Days (1970) [High Quality Stereo Sound, Subtitled] will become your #1 favorite Bee Gees song, and that is saying plenty
I am so happy to say that I've seen her in concert twice! Once in the mid 90's and again about 10 years ago. They are FANTASTIC!!
Good memories… Pat Benatar was my very first concert when I was 14 in 1980…. She’s definitely a feisty Rockstar
The 1st time I heard this song was on the F1 1988 season review "Honda all fired up" and then bought the LP this song is on. Man how did I miss this in the 80s?
I agree with everyone who suggested "Promises In The Dark" for your next reaction. There is a high note in the middle of the song that she hits that will blow you away. Love that song.
LOVE PAT BENATAR!!!!!
My favorite songs by Pat are Promises in the Dark and Fire and Ice. A hidden gem is Le Bel Age. Fantastic singer and Spider is a great guitarist. Glad they are still rocking it out. It really is a pretty deep catalogue.
Pat and Neil , her husband, did a detour in the early 90s and made an album of blues and jazz with a big band sound . True love is the name of the album and the title track would be a great listen for a change of pace . Pat nailed the entire album .
For more rocking Pat Benetar check out her late 80's song Invinvicible .
She also has some other songs that show the versatility of her opera trained voice . Her debut song We Live For Love where she sings high all the way throughout . A year or two after Kate Bush released Wuthering Heights in 1978 Pat did a cover of it . Kate's re- recording of Wuthering Heights (New Vocals 1986 ) for her greatest hits album is something you check out again with the knowledge that Kate is portraying a ghost, Cathy ( from the famous 1800's novel Wuthering Heights )who comes baçk to haunt the love of her life, Heathcliffe and Wuthering Heights was the estate she grew up on .
Showing my age....I had this on 45...I played it over and over.
Have just heard Pat Benatar 'over the air', which I Love. But this was GREAT! Thanks for the Reaction Guys!
Takes me back to high school! She is a rock goddess!
I absolutely love Pat Benatar ❤ classically trained opera singer turned rock and roll goddess!
Pat Benatar is the greatest! The guitar player is her husband, Spider. He wrote Jesse's Girl for Rick Springfield
She pretty much disappeared after this album switched to some blues releases but was essentially gone from the music scene. "Little to late" is an old but good one, Pat is still an amazing performer just one of the greatest female vocalists. Her and her husband were just an incredible team.
I saw a 2016 performance of We Live For Love. She STILL hits those high notes. Hard.
Pat Benetar = Rock-n-roll legend. Under-rated.
Pat Benatar and Joan Jett were my favorite female rockers back in the day. Love this one.
Saw her in a small venue/bar in Frederick, MD back in the 90s. I was standing no more than 10 feet away from her while she rocked the place for 2 hours. Great night!
Jay and Amber, if you really wanna hear the range of her voice, check out her song "We Live for Love".
Greatest female Rock voice hands down. 🤘😎🤘
In high school Pat wanted to be an opera singer. She chose right and went to rock n roll but she remains a trained opera singer. Amazing voice and just finally made the rock n roll hall of fame.
This was written and originally recorded by the Australian band Rattling Sabres.

This was my 20's and it was awesome!! Her husband Neal is an excellent guitarist!
Her Best .. ever..love Pat Benatar
Thanks y'all Great Female Friday Choice I think my favorite part of this one is the Lyrics of the Backing Vocals on the chorus... Just "carries" the song naturally.. Then same lyrics are toward the end when Pat sings all soft, quiet, then building to the Finish🎶👍
One of my favorite Pat Benatar song!
Never doubt Pat! She always delivers.
My favorite song in the world!!! Ahh 😄 I made a music video in high school to this song and it’s still here on TH-cam 😂 Pat is everything.
Absolutely love her sound soft or hard. Such a motivating song with a kick of energy. Thanx so much, take care, rock on, Peace
Around the same time Sheena Easton hit the scene with her talent and music "9 to 5 (morning train)" it a good song...
Her husband is one of the greatest guitarists in the business in my book. Awesome
She also made an incredible blues album check out "True Love". Great review - thanks A/J
Do love that message, the deepest cuts are healed by faith.
Mistakes are learning experiences if you learn something to help you be a bit better.
I saw her for that tour. It was the Wide Awake in Dreamland Tour.I saw her perform at Franklin Pierce College (now university) in New Hampshire on November 18, 1988 . It was a small venue (FPC Fieldhouse) and it was standing room only. I pushed my way up to the front of the stage. She still preformed like she was headlining an arena. Rhythm Corps was the opening act. Great show!
This was a definitely change, but it is one of my favorite eras of Pat Benatar's music: TRUE LOVE, Pat's full length blues album. You both would definitely loved this time of her music.
