Benatar!
 

Saw her this past Saturday. She's still got it. :nod: Very active on stage, still really skinny. She's looking her age, for sure - don't think she uses La Mer. :laugh: Vocally, she was spot on. She does not always go for the high notes, though. She hit them a few times, to show us she still could. :cool: But generally, most songs are a key or two lower.

I can't recall the exact setlist, here's what I do remember. Show was about an hour & 15 minutes.

All Fired Up
Shadows of the Night
Invincible (intro'd as one of her favorite songs, but from one of the worst movies ever made, lol. God, I love Legend of Billie Jean!)
2 newer bluesy tunes
Acoustic version of We Live For Love (here's where the high notes came in - her voice just soared)
We Belong
Hell Is For Children (this one rocked!)
2 newer tunes again
Hit Me With Your Best Shot

ENCORE:
Promises in the Dark
Love is a Battlefield

No video - camera nazis everywhere. Got a few decent pics.

awesome! i love benatard (shut up, haters). glad you had a good time! :wavey:

I love Pat. In fact, I've been on a Benatar kick lately, and listening to a lot of her stuff. Watching the 'Choice Cuts' DVD a lot lately, too.

My faves are "We Live For Love," "Invincible" and "Somebody's Baby."

Did any of the new songs make an impression on you?

Yes, but not enough for me to remember their names, apparently. :D I think 2 were from one of her more recent albums (Innamorata {sp}, maybe?) and 2 were new. One was something like Let's Stay Together (not Al Green's, lol.)

ROCK!!!!!


I think she looks good for her age. God, I'd kill to hear Shadows of the Night. Oh, wait, she's coming here some time.

:blob2:

Glad you had a good time, thanks for the pics. She still kinda has that 80's skanky/pretty coke whore look. Love it. (I know, she wasn't a coke head, she's just skinny. Still, it's a look, one I like).

I totally have a tape of me when I was 8 singing Shadows. *sigh*.

Carrie, Benatard? I thought I was the only one. :P. Mus-turd. ****-inue. It's kind of in the same vein, it's like you have to say Benatard.

Edit: I just noticed my very, very favorite song isn't on the list. Why doesn't she do Heartbreaker? Too many assholes like me singing along? :laugh:

July 2nd, Marin County Fair. :wavey:

Great pics and review, Paula! Glad you had fun. :woohoo:

Oh, that's right. Chico/birthday time. I think I was going to leave right after Cyndi/Debbie et al (the next day) and swim and bar my ass off.

Hmmm. We'll see.

Whatever......:rolleyes: ;)

I LOVE Shadows of the Night!

I also love We Belong.

For grins - go here and look at these pics. She needs SERIOUS fashion help and her crotch has something round hanging out of it in several of these :laugh:

I do, however, love her music!

:laugh: :laugh:

Yeah, but that was back in the day, so of course she's wearing a leotard. I love the leotard days. I think I'll wear one tomorrow.

^^^

Please don't forget the headband!

I'm wearing a headband right now. :cool: Is hers cloth? I didn't notice. Mine is plastic. :D I have bangs now, I have to wear headbands, kinda.

Edit: actually my hair pretty much looks like hers except it's long. :laugh: :laugh:

And my leotards are geniune, from back in the day. They were my moms. I can feel myself being mocked on Carrie and Jaz's show already. :laugh:

You know 1983 is my favorite year evah.

^^^
lol. I'd never mock you. our goal is to help. :D

great pics and review Paulette. I do love Pat too. my fav has always been Promises In the Dark.

one thing though. that stage? looks ridiculously sad. :laugh:

I need to help you guys get a more original/personal sense of fashion, and a little flair. :cool: Ain't nuttin' wrong with a leotard. If it looks good. So what if it's shiny? At least I'm not wearing the same old **** everyone wears. :laugh:

How did you know she just joined the Pink Ladies? I mean, the Hater Hos?
