BENATAR, PAT

Personnel: Pat Benatar (vocals); Neil Giraldo (vocals, guitar, piano); Scott Sheets (vocals, guitar, synthesizer); Roger Capps (vocals, bass); Myron Grombacher (drums).
Recorded live at the Old Waldorf, San Francisco, California on August 15, 1980 & at the Bottom Line, New York, New York, on November 13, 1979.
Pat Benatar's 1998 live set, 8-15-80 (named after the date of the recording), captures the singer just as her career was taking off. Recorded in San Francisco shortly after her breakthrough album, CRIMES OF PASSION, was issued, the set is inspired and nothing short of spectacular.
Benatar is in fine voice, while her backing band rocks with the best of them (especially Pat's future husband, guitarist Neil Geraldo). Name an early Benatar favorite, and chances are it's here in all its electrified glory--a cover of John Mellencamp's "I Need A Lover," as well as "Treat Me Right," "You Better Run," "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," and "Heartbreaker." 8-15-80 is a must-hear for Pat Benatar fans old and new.
