I had the true pleasure of attending a Pat Benatar concert ( most ably opened up by Loverboy!) in the late 90's here in Tallahassee FL, but I don't remember the specific date.
I was so impressed by Ms. Bennett's voice at that show that I am now 1. Driving 5 hours each way and 2. Taking serious virus precautions so I can see her live one last time.

I cannot remember the specific date, but I attended a Pat Benatar concert (one most ably opened up by Loverboy!) here in Tallahassee,FL in the late 1990's. Enjoyed it so much that I am now going to 1. Drive 5 hours and stay over and 2. Run the virus gambit to hear Ms. Benatar sing live just one more time .
