yep, and honestly, Pat's voice is still so strong! So many of my favorite singers just lose that power and clarity they had when younger. It's perfectly natural to expect but damn! She sounds so close to when she was younger.
Her classical training likely has a lot to do with that. When you sing properly, it’s easier to maintain your chops. And man, does she have the chops! So good.
I was a young teenager when they came out on the scene. I loved Pat's attitude, voice, personae. But, I made sure to learn every single lick Neil came up with. It made me such a better guitarist!
@@nikkivenable73 Being 18 in 1981 heading into college was insanely hedonistic. Everything was right there. New music styles blossomed while we still listened to Boston and Aerosmith.
Ms. Benatar/The true “QUEEN OF ROCK” right there!!! Loved her from back in the day & she’s still killing it all these years later! Rock on Pat!!! And Neil, one of the most underrated guitarists ever….🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸
@@MRTTMT ya I think you're right. I noticed it near the end of the song. Plus her speaking voice sounds so scratchy when she was talking before the song, it isn't hard to believe.
I can't even express to you youngsters how awesome this is! Pat is one of the only vocalists who has been singing for decades that hasn't blown out her vocals. SHE STILL SOUNDS GREAT! And Neil can still positively SHRED on the guitar!! LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!
No she isn’t. She was trained by her mother who was an opera singer and teacher. When you learn how to sing properly, you don’t blow out your vocal cords. She often called herself a pissed off opera singer who became a rocker.
@TheArtofGuitar Because some of his licks remind me of Randy, but he's not on that level. I've thought that he's a really good guitarist since the 80's and also very underrated but he's also not top tier like Randy, EVH, Michael Schenker, Uli Roth, Dimebag, Neal Schon, Gary Moore, etc.
Spyder & Pat aging gracefully together and still slaying it! Unapologetic authentic Seniors still rocking it like they’re in their 20’s. Neither one of them has lost a step artistically or musically. Class act all the way!
Over 40 years for this song, and it is still a gem that has held up thru the decades. Pat is still great, and Neil is so underrated, its laughable. The guy is brilliant and can still play amazingly. That was a great version of this song, my favorite song of Pat and Neil.
Aside from the fact that Neil is an outstanding instrumentalist, he brings a wonderfully happy energy to his playing. He's clearly enjoying himself--and, I've gotta tell ya--that's BRILLIANT!!!
Neil Geraldo played the guitar lead in Rick Springfields' "Jessie's Girl." The producer was not enamored with his guitar skills and called in Neil to clean it up. Really. Everytime Rick heard his song he is haunted by Neil Geraldo.
@@brianoconnor7796Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo are Mister and Missus Rock And Roll. Her singing and his guitar playing make quite a team. His guitar playing and her singing complement like no others.
@@brianoconnor7796Thanks for that; It is nice that they both are getting some major attention after all these years, not that they were not still touring, but it is good that the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame finally woke up and inducted the both of them. That should have been done years ago. In their 70s, their music and bond appears to be stronger than ever.
She was properly trained as an opera singer by her mother who was an opera singer teacher. When you are properly trained you learn how to protect and take care of your voice. Doing warmups is incredibly important. A good diet, lemon tea and honey to coat the chords. I was classically trained as a kid and can still hit some high notes although my voice has dropped a bit with age. I’m 76 and still singing.
Pat sounds excellent, Neil is a great musician. Been a fan since i first heard them on the radio in 79 or 80 whenever heart breaker was released. We getting old, lol
Pat & Neil, I have been with you every step of the way. Now 60, I still get VERY emotional listening and watching you perform. My ❤️ is touched by all the memories.👍💋
I saved up my allowance (which wasn't much) and bought her first album in 1980 when I was 11 and she is still hands down my #1 favorite. Her songs have helped me a lot when I was growing up and throughout my life.
My first album was Van Halen 1, one week later it was in the heat of the night. I remember buying them at pailings music store, Brisbane, Australia in 80. Van Halen were unheard of in Australia,but Pat got good radio airplay. She was my first great love, well her and a girl who was in my class. Unfortunately neither were into me.
❤ it was always a treat on Christmas morning to go to grandmas and grandpas for all of us grandkids to get our Music 🎶 🎵 gift cards for thw local record shops to go buy our favorite albums ❤ Liquorice Pizza Music Plus Rhino Ŕecords Tower Records The Wherehouse so much fun times😊 thanks for the walk down memory lane
Tears.... Such a beautiful song. Pat has such amazing tone, power and control. hearing that voice brings me back to a time of endless possibilities, some of which I have achieved:) This guitar solo may be the best solo in history. Neil is unparalleled. I heard Tim Pierce saying that it was terrifying having to go on stage with Rick Springfield and try to recreate Neil's guitar work:)
I am really glad these 2 met each other back in the day otherwise we would have missed all this great music and singing. No one needs to tell them to rock on. They've got it down.
Just caught this tonight on PBS. Love Boomer bands that still deliver the goods. Benatar's still got the vocal chops and Giraldo absolutely kills on lead. Amazing sound from just the lead, drums, and bass.
@@SmiggyG And? The OP said, "Benatar's still got the vocal chops." I'm just pointing out that that's not entirely true. She sounds better than some of the other 80s singers who are still trying to sing even though their voices are shot, but she has in fact lost a couple steps.
Go check out their induction into the R&R Hall of Fame last year. Although I thought she actually sounded better in this video. Still worth watching. And stay for Judas Priest. It does not disappoint either.
Great to see Pat and Neil looking and sounding so great! What an awesome album Precious Time was! Almost 66 myself and I'm so grateful that many of my favorite acts are still rockin'!!! Thanks so much!❤
She's still has that strong set of vocals after 41yrs. She's been around a long time and still has her incredible music and Neil still has the moves on the guitar 🎸. They make great music together ❤. I'm 66yrs old now and have listened to Pat Benatar since she started. She's still beautiful. I haven't heard a bad song yet!! Her voice hasn't changed a bit. Keep moving forward everyone.
I watched last night and it was awesome! I have always loved their music and they sounded great!! Neil is a hell of a guitarist and Pat’s voice is so powerful! ♥️♥️♥️
I’ve been a fan of these two since I was 10 (back in 1980 - when my brother listened to her), and this is just incredible all these years later. Just as great! 🇨🇦🤘🏼
I was always able to sing many rock songs, love songs etc..but i could never ever get vocally close to Pat Benitar. Her vocals back in the day were phenomenal ❤❤❤
My absolute favorite song from Neil and Pat and they still rock it so well. Besides the deeply moving personal story, it’s one that really focuses on Neil’s great playing and, of course, Pat’s amazing vocals. I’ve got to hear the original version right now! Thank you!
Been a Benatar fan for a long long time. Her voice may not be the same but it's as strong as ever and this was a great show. Thank you both for your music and for your love of each other.
Let me tell you...Neil Geraldo is such an underrated guitarist and musician...one of my guitar Gods....

Austin city limits has had a lot of top artists on like no other venue and this is one of them! Timeless rockers and no commercials! Rock on acl😁
At 71 she still kills it. Congrats to both on such an amazing career and sharing a life long journey together.
Unheard of...
Amen ❤rock it👍👍🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸
Fierce!
After all the years Neil and Pat still got it. She adapted her voice-which has changed and yet its still unmistakable. BRAVO!
Neil is one of the finest guitarists to ever live. He’s that good.
Yea, but Rick Springfield is pretty good on guitar too. I mean, have you listened to "Jessie's Girl"? so good.
@@cowcat7436 there’s tons of great guitarists. I just think Neil is one of the extra special ones.
Neil played on that@@cowcat7436
@@rblauson I was being a troll. Neil actually played for Rick on that song.
@@cowcat7436 I didn’t even know. I thought Springfield played lead on that song !
Proud to be gray haired right along with them! 70's and 80's baby simply the best songs and songwriters.
It's worth it to be older now, to have been younger then.

Rock on Pat!!! And Neil, one of the most underrated guitarists ever….🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸
She'd have to share that throne with Ann Wilson, but yeah.
Wow! She and Neil have aged like a fine wine! Their music just gets better!
Listen to their song Strawberry wine
So great to listen to a real non-auto tuned singer.
WATCH AGAIN, Lip Syncing does NOT need Auto Tune

They're both STILL amazing.
Pat still has the looks.
And that voice!
I was at this show. So great. Was a privilege to be there.
Some commenters on another clip say it's obvious she was lip syncing. Did you see that?
it makes no sense that she would lip sync.@@carlwilliams6977
One of the best vocalist ever
I was so glad when they were finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Killer solo, as always with Neil!
He's like a B grade version of Randy Rhoads 😎
Why even compare? He's an A grade Neil. :)@@hinjurock70
Totally. Neil rocks!

Neil's tone is so recognizable, his licks are right up there with EVH...and im not kidding
You must be drunk! Evh is beyond Neil! Neil a good player has a nice tone especially when he used carvin amps but EVH is the GOAT

We are all Blessed by the decades of music of Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo and this live performance!
Holy SHIT they still smoke !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And now I want a Gold Top Les Paul
They still sound fabulous-how awesome. She has some of the best pipes in the business...and Neil looks and plays great as usual.
Pat and Neil looked as they are having a blast….everyone on staged looked relaxed and having fun!….great to see the smiles and the fun interactions…
Always go back and forth over Pat Benatar or Ann Wilson as favorite female rock vocalist...love them both!
I can solve the back and forth, neither, Kate Bush is the best.
Another great guitarist from Cleveland. Love you Pat and Neil
Neil Geraldo, one of the best guitar players ever. Incredible command of the guitar.
Rock Icons !!!!!!
The music speaks for itself : their love and marriage speaks to us all!
Who else misses Myron Grombacher on DRUMS???
Scott Sheets and Roger Capps,too.
Denny Carmassi!!
Just thinking that!!
Myron kicked ass!
Drummers seem to be the most interchangeable
They still got it after all those years together. 💞
Isn’t classic rock so cool?!!
She is a classically trained vocalist I heard and she does have quite a range. Very talented lady!
Neil's tone is always superb.❤

Wow-they still got it-amazing!
I love how they rock together in life and music! Forever young! I practiced/warm-ups singing to her music when I sang in bands.
Neil is without a doubt one of the most under rated guitar players of his time.

I saw these two in 1979 at a 1000 seat club..they rocked! Both are so talented and I'm glad they are still out there making people happy.
Totally AMAZING! Pat still sounds and looks incredible.
She adapted those high notes very well. Awesome seeing Neil playing a Les Paul for a change too.
Used to play this song with my band in Atlanta and the crowd went nuts. Pat singing as good as ever. What a star.
I love husband and wife teams. Always nice when folks like each other... 41 years, dang got us beat by 3...
