Then Pat Benatar came on and saved the night...

Every band has a bad night...it's the ones that have them consistently that ARE "bad".
(Hmmmm, now that I think about it, I've noticed that most bad reviews of US bands on tour come from either Australia or New Zealand...I'm thinking that it's a Southern Hemisphere thing. Or, US musicians need to get acclimated to drinking Foster's.)
Ok, back to the topic:
I saw both bands at the height of their popularity (read: back in the '80s)....gimme the Bangles ANYDAY! Pro-Tools & Pitch Correction software was probably thought up by a Go-Gos fan for Belinda Carlisle's live performances. (just too bad it wasn't invented 30 years earlier....now we have to put up with Taylor Swift because of it....eewwwww!)
