Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo – Hit Us With Your Best Shot

Posted on by Musicofourheart

Pat Benatar & Neil GiraldoFor our second concert of 2013 we are ticketed to see Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo at the Capitol Theatre in Portchester, New York next Saturday night, January 26th. We’ve never seen them live before. We’re getting excited about this concert as the date draws closer.

I have reached back tonight to the time when Pat Benatar was in heavy rotation on MTV. Her video, “You Better Run” was the second video played at the dawn of MTV.

Pat and husband Neil Giraldo reminisce about that phase of their history in this video clip ;)

I have begun my “due diligence” listening to the breadth and depth of the Pat Benatar catalog. Pat Benatar is a four-time grammy winner who during the 1980s, had two RIAA-certified Multi-Platinum albums, five RIAA-certified Platinum albums, three RIAA-certified Gold albums and 14 Top 40 singles, including the Top 10 hits, “Hit Me with Your Best Shot“, “Love Is a Battlefield“, “We Belong” and “Invincible“.[1]

So one more Pat Benatar 80′s MTV video for you before signing off this evening, “Love Is A Battlefield”, 1983.

I am psyched to share with you the première Web video about The Capitol Theatre in Portchester, NY. The rock venue that Howard Stein promoted in the 1970s will be making a triumphant return to the concert scene in September, 2012.

We have wonderful memories of this concert venue from 42 years ago. We so want to attend opening night and experience The Capitol Theatre again!

I wrote a two-part blog post about The Capitol Theatre last year after I read the article in the NY Times about The Cap ;)
