Pat Benatar - Shadows Of The Night - live - best performance

Pat Benatar in New Haven Coliseum (1982)

[@barryjerald4550]

One of the best female vocalists ever. She didn’t need auto tune to perform.

[@XX_HAWK_XX]

The song is good but The song from the studio is better 😉

[@michellemelisaratos2707]

Right on. Anyone can sing with all of the synthesizers and technology today. A lot of “artists” lip-synch at concerts, because “they dance a lot.” Lame excuse. Pat Benetar’s voice still gives me chills, and I’ve loved her since I was about 6-7.

[@hurtlockerr8661]

Not sure auto tune was around back in 82 win this was taped. I remember this concert it was on ppv. I was 16 in 82 wow I’m old ..

[@TheNatureboy64]

she overcomes all these things missing by being incredibly good looking and wonderful singer

[@deltamx]

she was very pretty you are wrong

[@footballlover1677]

Anyone who sings knows how difficult it is to sing this forcefully, and still sound great. Vocally, this is one of the most powerful pop/rock songs ever recorded. You have to see her live in concert to appreciate how strong her voice really is.

[@michaeldestefano5165]

I saw her and Blondie at Foxwoods casino in 2009. Absolutely AMAZING

[@remember_the_alamo1022]

Couldn't agree more. This song gave me chills as a you man with a crush on Pat Benetar. It still does.

[@udsmall7306]

her range, timbre, modulation and projection are amazing... it's a hard song to sing well. I like how the verses are in her sultry lower register, then she can just jump so effortlessly up an octave on the choruses. Underrated 80's vocalist...and so tiny and cute back then! Had a big crush as a kid ugh! 😍🎤🎼👍

[@thedruidzmademe666]

Can confirm

[@dyer2cycle]

...I have always thought this was one of, if not her best songs, and best vocal performances...

She was trained in opera before she started singing pop and rock music. That’s why she can blow it up like nobody else.

[@chrish1297]

Wow! I did not know that. She sure can let it rip! Thanks for that nugget!

[@The_Dudester]

February 1981. San Diego Sports Arena. My very first ever rock concert. Pat Benatar. She opened with No You Don't and closed with My Clone Sleeps Alone on the third encore. The arena lights came on and the audience refused to leave. From in the back a chant started:"We want Pat!!". In minutes 20,000 people were making this chant. 10 minutes later Pat and her band came back on stage. "Thank you for calling us back to the stage. I don't know any more songs." The only time I saw something like that.

[@udsmall7306]

Wow...a memory that's still like yesterday to you I bet! Mine is- saw Randy Rhoades with Ozzy, two weeks before he died. 🎸💪

[@ebquinn]

Pat trained for awhile to sing opera when young, and I believe her mom sang some opera. Unlike many pop, rock and country stars, Pat can ACTUALLY SING! She sings pushing air up from her diaphragm, has a relaxed throat and resonates like crazy above the neck - sings through her head. That is why she gets such volume, has excellent range and can comfortably sustain notes. She can still do it very well today! Definitely one of the best rock singers, ever. Not in Rock and Roll Hall of Shame!!!

[@keithmauck8009]

I saw this tour in San Diego back in the day when there was -- NO -- Autotune, -- NO -- backtracks, -- NO -- LIPSYNCHING, and -- NO -- twenty some odd distracting "Dancers" hopping all over the place covering up the fact of NON-TALENT. You know --- back in the time where you had to have some form of TALENT. You could either SING, or play some form of INSTRUMENT. OR BOTH.

[@ra1966fsh]

what year was this

[@TheJer1963]

I saw her in San Diego back in 1985, was in the Navy and got a free ticket to go see her. This is my all time favorite song of she has ever done. My parents went nuts the first time I played Hell is for children, they had both just found Jesus at the time.

Early 90s or so I saw Pat and the band. These KZbin videos bring back good memories. Was she as good as I remember? Even better!

[@andyrichards9169]

Saw Pat Benatar at Newcastle city hall in the eighties. She was terrific. Great singer.

[@maryp4579]

She's an exceptional singer. Her husband likewise is a fantastic guitarist and creative partner.

[@446057cam]

SO HOT!!! bring back the 80's; please God; bring them back

[@michaeldestefano5165]

With No Disrespect to Aretha, she is The True QUEEN or Rock!!!

[@WarriorMigs24]

My favorite Pat Benatar song ever timeless

[@steveorules6262]

Never another era of music like the 80's..Best fuck'in time of my life..

[@normiesaredegeneratesthatn3331]

You're lucky as fuck.

[@eyeamserious7900]

Saw Pat right before covid. 2nd row.She can still bring it.

[@TheMkarr]

Every once in a lifetime, people are witness to true God given talent. Having been born in the late 50's, I am glad to have lived through, from,Motown to Van Halen. This couple are still in love & playing live. Pat only gets hotter every year. This can only come from, God. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@tomchaapel6838]

One of my favorite songs done by the best female singer. Wow she is something. That voice is awesome. Live long and prosper Pat.

[@scottstevens2752]

Her voice gives me the chills! SO DAMN GOOD!

[@strictlynorton]

Hugely under appreciated rock and roll Queen... an unbelievably gifted performer.

[@PipeChoir]

simply put...perfect song writing...vocal performance...a hallmark song from a bygone era...period...

[@michaelquick8185]

I REALLY MISS THE 80'S ITS TOUGH

[@keith0677]

It is amazing to me how effortlessly those notes come out of her. I have seen some powerful singers but it often looks like they have to struggle when they need the power. Pat looks so relaxed like her personal volume knob is only on 5 out of ten and she doesn't even need any more than that. its just all raw refined beautiful power.

[@iheartherbs]

All time BEST FEMALE ROCK N ROLL ARTIST OF ALL TIME, HANDS DOWN SHES A QUEEN 👸

[@michaelfennell7787]

Without a doubt, my favorite Pat Benatar song. She had it all, killer good looks, and a voice that quite simply could kick A#s. I know I wasn't the only guy who would go to sleep dreaming of Pat Benatar at night!

[@HectorRodriguez-fv5hw]

Michael Fennell I had a crush on Her for a long time , Even my wife got a little jealous , me were just married and I told Her about the crush, even now after 37 Years together she jokes about it, Pat will forever my crush

[@michaelfennell7787]

Hector Rodriguez There is no way that anyone could put out music like this today. It simply couldn't be done. But, in a way, that's a good thing. It just makes these songs even more legendary, timeless, and everlasting!

[@trickalt2]

God damn she can sing. If it didn’t have live acoustics, you’d think she was in studio.

[@eyeamserious7900]

Blown away by this

[@Brad-mx6re]

What a powerful voice coming from such a tiny lady (5'0") - amazing. I've been a fan since the early 80's - saw her in Worcester, MA in 1981 while I was at WPI.

[@Dan.50]

The music biz just doesn't have talent like this anymore.

[@langstondah7350]

What a voice.... Her, Ann Wilson and Patty Smthy of Scandal are the three best rock voices I've ever heard. Debbie Harry has a really good voice as well, it's underrated. FBA/B1

[@garycarr3857]

1982

[@NavyChief79]

Don’t leave out Stevie Nicks ❤

[@Tessmage_Tessera]

I'll add Martha Davis to that list.

[@JP5466]

Little lady... HUGE powerful voice!

[@svenfigueroa312]

I’m 48 now and this was one of the first songs i played live. Our singer was female. This song is not easy to sing.

[@nopenotgonna175]

And I’ll bet your singer rocked it!

[@ChatGPT--officialb0t]

We need another Pat Benatar in our music business man. I swear

[@joebobhenrybob2000]

Check out the video of Gretchen Wilson doing Barracuda with Alice and Chains. (and then I checked her own catalog... what, you don't want to do that kind of thing all the time?!?!)

[@Blaze_1221]

The way she puts grit in her voice just amazes me, greatest female singer ever… only if my female singer would actually appreciate older music

[@dominickmccoy4634]

I was born in 90s and I have recently discovered how great the 80s were for music, especially female lead singers like Pat & many more, Im kinda sad/mad I wasnt alive to witness it, but I wonder why I don’t see a lot of people praising the voice of Marie fredrickson from Roxette though, I feel she was underrated and should have way more recognition, her voice is amazing to me, am I missing something ?

[@udsmall7306]

nope, your ear is good! I think ppl discount Marie bcoz of the popiness of Roxette. But good Lordy her vocal on "It Must Have Been Love" is agonizingly gorgeous...and such range!! 🎤💪👍 I listened to it every lonely night at my lonely job 15 years ago when a relation just...fell apart. Really hard time. 💔 Still don't listen to that song anymore. 😞

[@TheArtofGuitar]

Probably the best song ever written and performed.
