Pat Benatar - I Need A Lover (Live)

[@MusicalMagicProducer]

Pat and Neil are one of the best couples in Rock, and he doesn't get enough credit for his guitar playing. And she is the Queen of Rock, IMO! :)

[@jfk19780]

pat is one hell of a guitarist ...wayy underated !!!!!

[@Tbone3471]

100%

[@kevincaldwell4707]

In 100 years, this music will still be good and the current crap they call music will be forgotten

[@bgorg1]

Love that she’s been married to a guy who didn’t drive her crazy for 45 years now- plus he plays some great licks

[@rdo1231]

Love this woman, her music and her legacy - true, she doesn’t get the credit she deserves (“credit” = Hall of Fame) but she is recognized and idolized by her fans the world over. Her contributions to popular music are immense and immeasurable. We love you, Pat!

[@Susie196921]

She's adorable and she can sing anything! As a trained opera singer, she can really hit those high notes!

[@AV84USA]

I’ve always heard that, but had she ever performed opera before she hit the radio? Looking back, he seemed kinda young to have done all that and bank telling too.

[@irontrain1957]

Heer videos were always in regular rotation during the opening days of MTV. I remember watching them and telling my wife "the guitar player wants more video time" and "If that chick ain't careful he's going to cost her a career". A couple of years later he proved me right. She had the look,, voice and songwriting talent. He was jealous of the attention she got. Could have just enjoyed the ride (pun intended) and realized he is just the guitar player in a RnR band.

[@Tutone66]

This is the first time I heard that Benetar was not in the Hall. It figures, she told the music industry to F***OFF when they told her that females could not be concert headliners. Rock on Pat. We need a R&R Hall of Fame board who won't drive us crazy.

Pat Benatar and her favorite husband Neal Giraldo have since been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@j.brubaker2717]

I had a teenage crush on Pat Benatar..That was 30 years ago and 30 years later I still have that crush.😍😍

[@lauranell2978]

And Neil gives a look, that says, " yes baby girl, our stage' love it!

[@zhannamikhailova5058]

How can you be cooler than that?! Love you, Pat!

[@katbowl9971]

Of course I've heard Pat's version many times, but I don't think I've ever seen this video. It was a treat!

[@beccawilson1368]

I was lucky to see her in concert in the late 80s. she kicked ass. best concert ever !

[@robertpetricko1968]

She Rocks and Always Will. Put Her in the Hall of Fame Now!!

[@yvettetyranitar7900]

Wow.. bring back so much memories of my youth. Had all her albums back in the day and still enjoy her music. I love to watch Myron Grombacher play the drums... He's like in his own world on that stage and giving his all. :)

[@TheJourney81]

I love you both Pat and Neil...I'm a big fan of your records. From a Fan of Brazil, a thousand hugs.

[@kronlof2]

Saw her last week and she still does this one live, very good too.

[@lukepower7546]

She was awesome live. Saw her In March 86 at William and Mary Hall. Just a great concert. She sounded awesome. Great show.

[@susanszabo2207]

Love this! Love Pats hair in this. So beautiful.

[@heatherbays2721]

I still love Pat Benatar,takes me back to the good ol daze!!

[@gizmo2371]

I have to say that Pat benatar is ONE VERY HOT WOMAN. I remember being at one of her concerts and accidently found myself backstage. I used to have a shirt she autographed inscribed DAN- Rock on and remember we are youn. Stay coolsigned Pat Benatar. Just playing these videos reminds me how awesome the 80's really were.

[@drivewaystar6485]

Love it when Pat steps back and rocks out with the band.

[@cosmogoy1895]

ONE OF EARTHs MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN & PRECIOUS SOULS!!!! 🤗

[@xxsidikaoukixx]

I need Pat comes back ! This voice is unbelievible ! Thank you too ! C'est fille est trop cool ! J'adore!!!

[@benzell4]

Ah, the late 70’s! What a Time for Artists like this! Headliners doing covers of songs, from those they know are coming up, behind them... Well!, Ye-e-yea-e-yeah!

[@obrapro]

See her on tour now!!! She's more impressive now than in her heyday. She has made some adjustments to those high notes but it works-in key, no cracking, no way-past-her-time moments like some other singers of the time - male - David Lee Roth (god-awful) or female - Debra Harry (past her prime). Her husband is still on top of his game and adding piano to the mix. Played hits and some newer ones but well worth it. Why these two are not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is shameful. They are one of the best rock songwriting duos in American music history. They have hits, record sales, touring miles, and longevity. What more do they have to do to get in?

[@squidman556]

If it wasn't for Pat and Joan Jett the female artists of future generations wouldn't have had as many opportunities.. 🎸 Rock On folks

[@tonycerino1736]

We are the last generation that lived in a free world

[@annachestnut]

She is a miracle. Lovely! Perfection! Talent!

[@punkiemom]

My idol since her first album came out...and I get to see her (and Spyder) again tonight!!! :)

[@steveh5197]

Interesting story behind this song. This was the first song John Melloncamp ever released, and it bombed. Then PB recorded and released it, and I believe it was her first hit. Shortly after that, Melloncamp exploded on the scene with Jack and Diane. So Melloncamp re released I need a lover, and it became a huge hit for him!

[@Nowhereman123]

Johnny Cougar, as he was known at the time released I need a lover in Australia first up it was a big hit we didn't see Pats version here.

[@mexicansoutherngirl]

Im reading her book right now and its phenom! I defintely reccommend

[@karensuedavis9103]

t ladd she wrote a book? Never heard that!

in your face!!!!!!!!!!! what a voice that´s rock powerful version...hats off geraldo!!!

[@michaelgarland1337]

As usual , Pat nailed it !!! ❤❤❤

[@Vortigern99]

Wow, I've never seen or heard her version, this is incredible. I like John's version too, but this one rocks.

[@melanciafan]

This song was written by John Mellencamp. Yes, the man also known as John Cougar Mellencamp.

[@JohnAlbertRigali]

I haven’t heard this for so long, I was beginning to wonder if I daydreamed it. I’m glad that I found it.

[@leokimvideo]

John Mellencamp did an awesome version of this song but this is a killer version.

wow go pat circa 1979 rockin this classic when music was music now john cougers version was great also.lets just say they both are classic timeless hits that will be around when we are all gone 50 years from now well depending on how old you are, but pat belongs in the rock and roll hall of fame thumbs up if you agree

[@vr8903]

Remember..This was done before she ever got famous she had just released her album and was playing small nite clubs that had horrible acoustics!!...tinny sound and her voice is hoarse sounding..but she is by far the greatest of her era...her voice was so powerful and raw and great stage presence

[@charleslambert290]

i once posed the question? is this chick from another planet! WOW,what a voice

[@jshelhorse]

What are you talking about? She wsa a superstar before John Cougar even wrote this song. She was filling stadiums when she did this cover.

[@johnterry64]

@@jshelhorse Nope. This was off her first album, which came out in August of '79. John released his album with "I Need a Lover" a month earlier.

[@tobykenobe]

I initially heard this album in a record store the day she was there promoting it, I ended up buying it and waiting in line for her to sign it. Saw her in concert the next night.

[@MrJx4000]

Yup, this was live, no question about that. She'll always "rock."

[@MsSilo52]

Super.Danke fürs hochladen 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@Jason-wo5rr]

I really get sick of our over complaining "you owe me everything" childish generation we've made. I love Pat because she was who she was without apologies but also had something called grace and humility which is also lacking on our world today. Pat worked and EARNED everything she's ever made without "privilege" and i'm certain she had her fair share of record execs calling her "honey" and "sweetheart" but she never let that define her. It doesn't hurt having a great band behind her but give me Pat Benatar any day over lady gagme

[@lauranell2978]

Pat , is that correct, you come out with this new awareness. Good for you both 👍

@@rg2027x if you're referring to trans people the term transvestite originated in 1910 when the first transgender operations took place. Roman emporer elagabalus preferred to be called "lady" as opposed to "lord" and was considered to be one of the earliest trans figures in history.. and that was around 200 AD... so for 2 THOUSAND years before "your" great america.. based on your logic "women werent women"

@@danschriver75 so you cut/paste plagiarized from Wiki. while modifying their wording to make it appear your thoughts. Great. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_history Why not just post the link to save all the typing Dan? Also, elagabalus should be capitalized as it refers to a person, not an entity.. Based on your logic, the only women who aren't women are transvestites. Historical fact: there were actual women​ (you know, birth-born ladies who _didn't_ have sex change operations) for 2000 years before America was established.

At least you got to experience some of the best years of the rock era! Growing up in the 90s, I was always jealous of the generations that had come before me because of the awesome music that was happening everywhere at the time.

I was just thinking, there was a time back in the day when she basically owned this song, the eventually they started playing John Cougars' (as he was known as back then) version occasionally, then slowly more more, till eventually they hardly ever play Pat Benatar's version on the radio anymore....
