4.0 out of 5 stars This is the real stuff, February 11, 2000

By	Gerald B. Johnson (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm not really a big Pat Benatar fan, but I caught this concert years ago on TV and loved it. I had a taped copy that I've watched many times, and was delighted to find it released on DVD. The first couple of songs are weak admittedly, I think they were obligatory "Push latest release" performances. But then the concert slowly starts to build, getting better and better. This is a 'real' concert, no overdubs, no retakes, no self-indulgent solos. Just drums,guitar,bass, piano and the lady herself. There are a few rough/slow spots, but I can live with that because its also balanced by those magical moments where the band really clicks and the music takes off. Thats what rock and roll is.. magic. If you're more concerned with video/sound quality than with the performance itself then you may want to pass this one by. My main concern is "Does it rock?". If it does then the rest doesn't matter. The video and sound is acceptable (ie it doesn't get in the way), the muscianship is workmanlike, and yes it does rock.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good show, May 8, 2005

By	William N. Kristman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was going to buy the summer vacation video because it got such good reviews but unfortunately it's $45 here so i picked this one up instead.
The show,although short ,is very good with a lot of enthusiasm and energy.
Her voice was excellent and the guitar work was great.
The sound is suspect with it sounding like the mics were placed back in the corners of the auditorum or something.
After awhile i got used to it.
Camerawork was ok .Very few audience shots though.
Pat mentioned at one pt that the show was being taped for hbo so maybe they cheaped out because it was just for tv audience originally .

4.0 out of 5 stars They got the date wrong...Amazon, please correct it....., January 13, 2005

By	JD in CT - See all my reviews

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.
