Rating: Summary: Not her best concert Review: This concert is from the Get Nervous tour, at the height of Pat's popularity and before a series of weak albums that eventually drove her to obscurity. It contains many of her old classics, though contrary to the DVD cover, there are only 13 songs on the hour long DVD. The concert was recorded for an HBO special.Pat was not in very good voice at New Haven that night. Sounded like she should have warmed up before hand. She was weak in the first few songs, having trouble hitting or holding the high notes. She got better as things wore on and was herself in the middle. She again seams to fade towards the end of the concert. As a professionally trained singer, she should have known beter than this. She was not as strong as she was just this past summer at the outdoor concert in Albany NY, nearly 20 years later. An enjoyable performance, but not as good as her studio albums or her other recorded concerts.
Rating: Summary: They got the date wrong...Amazon, please correct it..... Review: This concert was recorded in December 1982....December 1982....December 1982.....
How do I know?
I was there at the New Haven Coliseum when it was filmed.
It first aired as an HBO special in....1983. People looking at the date of this DVD might be mislead into Benatar was touring off her '83 live album. Nope. She was promoting 1982's 'Get Nervous' LP.
So, you wanna know how the show/DVD are?
Excellent. She was in her prime. "Shadows Of The Night" was a big radio hit at the time. She never had an album chart this high again.
If you're a fan of vintage Benatar, check this one out.
Rating: Summary: Sound & Picture are good, remember it's about 20 years old! Review: This is a great show with a good mix of tunes; no extras but that's fine since it was only [price] new in a store. The band is in their prime and every song is good and played tight. People complaining about the picture/sound don't seem to realize this was shot in 1983!
