Have been listening to this awesome band from my hometown for years, finally got to see them live at Foxwoods. WOW is all I can say. Your 7 song set was awesome, can't wait to see you guys again soon.
@@rickpinter5888 These guys were completely new to me, but a nice surprise! They played a really fun sometimes bluesy set I'm sure like they did at your show, and winding it up with a Sabbath cover for us semi old folks was a nice treat
My favourite Pat Benatar song. When I heard the start of this I noticed the tempo was slower than I'd heard it sung before and thought perhaps father time was catching up with her voice but then she wound up and pow! Still got it.
80'S WAS TRULY BEST ERA IN MUSIC NOW IT CRAP NOBODY CAN SING THAT WHY THEY RAPE. SINGERS HAVE DFFERENT TONES ONLY CETAIN PEOPLE GOT THAT TALENT PAT IS ONE OF THEM SHE SINGING NOT RAPPING.TAKES IT TO A WHOLE DUFFERENT LEVEL WHO GOT TALENT
TRULY AMAZING SHE KEPT HER VOICE.AWESOME! PAT had pitches her in voice she sang high and low listen to difference techniques she used still sounds great.
I'm a child of the 70s and Pat is one of MANY that I saw live and loved over the years but these days I just don't know whether to be amazed by how good they sound or suspicious that it's just another act using tracks. Technology and the dishonest use of it by many have really sucked a lot of the magic out of "live" shows.
@@ajo3085 I'm from that same wonderful time period as well, and I have that same thought every time I see a band from "back in the day" too. I think use of backing tracks is pretty ubiquitous throughout the industry, Pat didn't SEEM to be relying heavily on it on this night but really who knows?
@@sarsippius67 It's definitely sad it's come to this point where we are in doubt. That last few times I've seen Alice Cooper (for instance), I've been amazed how little his voice has changed but then you look at the ones who have been caught and it gets you wondering. Best case scenario Pat, Alice and others are still singing live but given the amount of cheating that has gone on in the past decade or so, doubt really messes with your enjoyment. Very sad.
@@ajo3085 Seems we have to suspend disbelief, which is hard for a cynic such as myself! That said, I'll see Alice again too because those are truly fun shows
Neil got a new BC Rich Eagle with a Whammy Tremolo! Nice! Wonder if he still has his 76 Supreme with the fixed bridge? he used on the studio recording, I still have my Eagle! Just because of HIM!
Thanks for the post. Saw Pat Benatar on her Get Nervous Tour in late 82. If my memory is correct Men at Work was the warm up band. Back in the day Pat and her band put on one hellva show. All that for less than ten dollars. Lmao
@@curtisphilumalee1447 that's a great memory to have! 82 is when I started going to shows and it was $13.50 all day 5 band show at old JFK stadium. We got a good deal for a buck in the days the before the birth of Live Nation and the rest of the promoter/ticket seller monopolies
I’m girlfriend at the time which is my wife now. We were talking about the concert as she heard your upload playing on my phone. She reminded me we drank a bunch of jungle juice before the concert with our friends out in the parking lot and the girls were able to sneak in two flasks because the cops wouldn’t search the girls. Anyways she told me Pat Benatar opened up with Get Nervous and the stage lights went into strobing mode and you guessed it I got ill. Lmao Things to tend to forget but are reminded about 40 years later. Again thanks for upload. Enjoyed it.
@@curtisphilumalee1447 everything about that story I was nodding my head, done all of that right up to the puking part 😂 the 80s were great, glad you and your wife liked the vid, I do it in the spirit of old school bootlegging, so I'm always glad when they get to real music fans! Take care
@@richieflenniken9974 Pat and the band were great and this is what sucks about shows in casinos, sterile atmosphere and half these folks looked like they were up past their bed times
@@sarsippius67 So what? What I see is a respectful audience listening to a concert. Do you even know the age group of Benatar fans ? Did you miss them cheering at the end ?
@@mizzury54 easy now. I AM the age of most of these fans, older than half the room, I saw Pat in 1980 and here again a week and half ago. I was agreeing with the previous comment about it being a bit dead, which in my experience is what you get in AC casino shows on "classic bands". Alot of folks there because they're staying at the casino so they'll go see a show on the way through like it's Circ de Soleil. As opposed to a club show or an arena show. That's all. Peace.
I saw her live right when they had changed ‘Promises in the dark’ to fit her voice now, and we rocked that place. Love Johnny, but have to admit I really love Social Distortions version. 🙌🏼☮️🎶
In 1996 at Disney World's 25th Anniversary, my wife and I were guests and enjoyed the event . . . One of the evenings was at Pleasure Island with Black Hawk, Usher and on the West Side . . . Pat Benatar . . . I remember seeing this 80's icon and thinking . . . "wow, she's still got it . . " It's 2024 and she and Neil are STILL kicking . . . What an inspiration!!!!
Pat is a fantastic singer. She has the sense to bring the song down a bit due to the natural effects of age. If only others knew that trick. If we had never heard her back in the 70s,she would amaze us now. Never disappoints.
We saw her in Lincoln on the first tour date 2024....Myron drums was a real treat for me...brought back a ton of memories....not sure who this is but its not Myron.
At 16 he played with Rick Derringer. Rick was so intimidated with Neil's guitar playing, he put Neil on Keys... Where he also shined! Prodigy talent for sure.
