Pat is by far the best female rock performer. The stuff that passes for rock music today is missing the elusive quality that Pat so effortlessly and naturally projected on stage.
Even though I am a year older than her, I have just recently discovered the unique quality in Pat's music and performance style. There was a lot of other things going on in my life during the 80's that put my focus elsewhere..but now, I have come to appreciate Pat for who she is..Simply put....the Queen of Rock!!
Pat Benetar's voice has a lot of depth. Very expressive. I wasn't much of a fan until I saw her peform at Rockford. She has a lot of talent. I would like to see her team up with Bob Dylan. Those two would be quite a duo.
I proposed to my wife during this song at the 2:20 mark in the song. She was completely taken by surprise, caught off guard. The ring sparkled in the lights, and Pat Benetar'svoice lifted us off this earth and took us to uncharted planets of unknown origin.
Also it was funny, alot of people held up lighters (like at most concerts) but at this one some had Cell Phones, Glow Sticks.....And one person had a Teddy Bear! lol :P And they got on the screen and made their Teddy wave lol, cute :P
I WAS THERE WOOO!!! That was a awesome concert, my first too :D She's awesome :) And...um...what the heck is with tilting the camera sideways? lmao *shakes head* oh well :P
I like to feel sexy....knowing someone is watching me ..wanting me...turns me on!BADLY! I like to flirt and pose..and sometimes i like to get WILD! how? ..he he..come in video and youll see:-)) maybe u can teach me something..or maybe i will ! come visit me at - MeetYourFling _dot_ COM - my user-id there is margarette-bftx chat soon on cam :-) bbtuty
Well Hello Pat...how good is her voice still?? I had a lot of schoolboy fantasies about this woman as a lad. Loved her and her tunes. Great to see this. Good to see she is still with Neil
We were at this concert, It was in Rockford, Ill... and sat 2nd row... Never have a been more amazed! She was unbelievable from the 1st song, to the last! And she looked awesome!!!
This was in Illinois, Rockford, I think...we saw her in Bloomington the night before. I remember this date because my husband surprised me with this ticket. It was the first concert we went to together.
k....But did you need to tell me basically the same thing three times? lol... And ok, but she was there with him? I'm only asking because I know she was at a Fair here with him and those Palm Tree's, even if it wasn't the same night, I'm not imagining things lol...And seeing her was my first concert.
you Americans (and probably Canadians) are so lucky..Last time Mellencamp was overhere in Europe is about 15 yrs ago,now as for Pat Benatar..I have been waiting for ages for her to cross the ocean :(
To those that commented about her singing, i was at this concert, it was in Oroville California at Feather Falls Casino, i worked at the casino for a couple years, and this is still the greatest concert i have EVER been to, and trust me, Pat Benetar dont hold nothing back in her concerts, to this day she is still the queen of rock, that will never change

jtheroux, "Negative comment, a desperate attemp to appear relevant when one has nothing else to offer."
and no, their acoustic stuff is not a "desperate attempt to cash in." a lot of their fans, myself included, enjoy their acoustic arrangements. In case you haven't noticed, they don't sell millions of records anymore. they tour and record because they love to do so, not for the millions of dollars they're not making.
Saw her a few years ago..she did an acoustic version of "love is a battlefield",saying "after 20+ years of doing same music,ya gotta change it up alittle!"..it's cool to hear different arrangements,keeps it fresh!...and she's a fellow "lawn guylandah"!
I remember when this song first came out in '80. I was in junior high and just fell in love with this song back then. Man, it brings back memories of that summer. First time I've heard the acoustic version- LOVE IT! Made me start looking for tickets for their upcoming shows.
she got plenty of respect when she was at the height of her career, or rather, when she was selling millions of records. Four grammys ain't too shabby...She is still highly respected. Nobody has ever said she can't sing. As far as the show they still put on, yeah I don't think enough people are aware how good they are live these days. i think they do better live shows now than when they were filling arenas!
Don't get me wrong...i am a HUGE fan, I've lost count how many times I've seen her in concert. I just wish the "Industry"... MTV,American Idol,The Grammys(she's had recordings that were eligible and ignored throughout the 1990's!)The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, etc... would recognize her influence through the years.Just a fan wishing more for their Favorite, not a criticism at all!
i didn't thik you were criticizing (and so what if you were, free country, right?). And yeah, I am definitely disappointed about the r n r hall of fame thing. That's a no-brainer to me.
That's very interesting - she can obviously still get the note in the chorus, and seems to do it pretty easy, but she chooses to sing it down low & more "singalong" for the rest of the song. I wonder why?
the high notes are there! this song is so powerful live. i shed a tear when she hit the high note! saw this live with some friends that had not seen her live. they were all BLOWN away! go see her this summer, you won't be sorry! AMAZING! we live for love!
This is the acoustic version if any doubters havent noticed! i wish someone would upload her singing the rock version from the 2001 summer tour of this song. cant hit the notes! get serious!!!
If anyone knows how to preserve their voice, it is Ms. Benatar, originally trained classically as an opera singer. Bet she warms up AND cools down after each performance. Anyone know what type of mic she prefers?
she still hits it as high as the studio recording in the first chorus of this version. I've seen her four times and she has never strained to hit a note. I think she likes to change it up since she's been playing this song for almost thirty years.
Perhaps. She is pushing 55 though, and people's voices do change as they age. Regardless, she still has one of the most amazing voices today, young or old.
Little "g" understandable; big "G" incomprehensible. Wow--you need to get out more. Oh and when you do, take a look at the stars. Ms. Benatar, as great as she is, can't make even one of those.
I saw Pat and Neil in Vegas on 9/15 and left in awe at how great the show was. This was the second time I've seen her perform, the first being as an opening act for STYX back in the mid-90's (before the band screwed up and tossed out Dennis DeYoung). She was awesome then and can still outperform most of today's musical acts. Thanks for posting this great video!
WOW! Those amazingly crystal clear high notes at the very beginning! Played today on radio, it be a hit-agian! I was fortunate to be able to meet Pat backstage on June 29, 2006 & asked her directly if she would consider re-recording this song this way. She said they were. Peace to all!
I flew from Europe to see her in Chicago. When they anounced that they were going to do an unplugged version of "We live for love" I was dissapointed, since I love the hard edge of that one. They proved me wrong, and I LOVED IT. She should put that on a cd RIGHT AWAY
Thank you, thank you, for posting this video!! I didn't get to see Pat & Neil this summer. I will NEVER let that happen again!! Pat is beyond describing. . . truly one of kind!
voice NEVER falters. NO AUTO TUNE HERE. AMAZING.
