Live? On her first four national tours there was excellent song selection for the setlist. After each song, the audience was hungry for the next song, except for "In The Heat of the Night." Because the song was slow and very long, she received a lukewarm response from the audience, which drew a confused look from her.

@stevehamilton8824Ай бұрын
One of my rock women crushes. Pat is a powerhouse vocally and such a talent. Hit after hit by this incredible woman & band! Others have mentioned it, "Promises in the Dark" is a must reaction. What is amazing is that Pat is not an artist that needs a lot of dancing or theatrics to mesmerize an audience like so many artists do for their shows. Very few could just stand up there, walk around a little and sing and but have you entranced in the performance. She is iconic because she is not only vocally talented and the band has written some amazing songs but SHE is a force on her own who you need to watch. There is something about her - her beauty, her attitude, her style and everything else is just entrancing. While others need a show behind them to make them interesting, few like Pat (Stevie, Linda and handful of others) need all of that to draw our attention.

One of the best duo's in rock history (because it really is a duo = Benatar/ Giraldo)!!!! Been a fan since their first album. Seen them in concert about half a dozen times and they were awesome each time. Next hard rock reaction suggestion would definitely be "Promises in the Dark." Reaction for different versions of a song would be her amazing cover of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights." Reaction for a sleeper awesome song that wasn't a hit, but I think you would appreciate as teachers and parents would be "Evil Genius." Best reaction to reflect their diversity would be either "I feel Lucky" or "True Love" from their blues/ big band/ swing influenced album called "True Love."

This song was a late 70s early 1980 song about love and the passage of youth after high school. A really good time piece from the era. She was a new artist at the time. It was a sign of her rising star. A great high school tune.
