This is one of my favorite live performances by Pat. First heard this on her CD collection that I bought about 25 years ago. Powerful and sublime at the same time. Excellence!
I do not recall the exact date I saw this tribute to Mr. Chapin on Pbs -- perhaps the 90s. My next statement is without hyperbole. When Ms. Benetar had finished spinning her web of magic, I knew that I had witnessed one of the great performances in television history. I still feel this way in 2024.

I heard Pat Benatar sing "Shooting Star" at Carnegie Hall for the Harry Chapin Tribute. Goose bumps Pat! You immortalized Harry with that performance. Bravo! Art or die, this war for humanity is on overdrive. Thank you for your contribution to the art of music. Your love is needed on the battle field more than ever!
Like all Chapin songs, I find this one hits the hearts and minds of those who have felt the ins and outs of life's greatest joys and pains. Well done Pat. Harry would have never been known to so many without this awesome tribute.
In a truer dictionary of phrases and statements under the "passionate expression" category you will find this rendition of Harry's tune. It simply cannot be any better than this. Wow!
Pat once again showing those power vocals! Such diversity of all kinds, she always amazes me when she sings out of the Rock/Pop genre. Voice like no other!
Brilliant lyrics. Incredible rendition. These lyrics could save a failing marriage... the understanding that men and women are two completely different beings. Find the unity when possible but let each one be strong in very different ways. Always leave some room for each one to breathe and keep some of their own identity. .
@@jackdillon5554 well thank you. I certainly do not feel brilliant but I do feel a deep passion for all things regarding love and understanding. Every generation…every era, has its distractions. The things that keep us from becoming exactly who we should be and loving exactly the way that we should love. This particular era is the worst that I’ve ever seen in my short life but this song brings me to a place that deals with the heart and the soul more than the likes and the followers. The romance of this song and HCC’s songwriting are quite possibly unparalleled.
Probably the best cover of one of Harry's songs ever recorded, IMHO. Pat just shines! Thanks so much for sharing such a clean copy! My playlist has been through about five different versions so far :-) Hope this one sticks around!
Damn...I watched this when it first aired on PBS & all I can say is ...this is one of the most beautiful songs...EVER. I'm not particularly a Pat Benatar fan ,but christ. Harry's lyrics & her voice ( by the way Harry's version isn't that bad either).
The best cover of this classic song written by singer/songwriter extraordinaire Harry Chapin. Congratulations on making "The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Well deserve Pat Benatar and Giraldo. Awesome!
I saw her in Akron, Ohio in 1999 New Year's Celebration and her voice was just as beautiful as ever. It was an awesome show. She had said that she hadn't sung some of her songs in years, but I tell you what, you couldn't notice. Beautiful voice for sure!
Harry Chapin was a little before my time. In the early 90's, I stumbled onto a PBS fundraising event broadcasting a Memorial Concert (from '87) by mostly other artists to raise money in his name. Fantastic, and first heard this song movingly & stunningly sung by Pat Benatar. I broke down as it was the story of my life told in 3 minutes -- and subsequently consumed Harry's entire ouvre. When I have trouble sleeping, I sing the long ballad "There Only Was One Choice" in hopes of falling asleep ...
I heard this last night on Harry's 80s birthday tribute on Sirius. Big Chapin fan, don't know how I missed this one, but loved ❤️ it so much I had to look it up.
Such a beautiful version of this song - even with the so so recording of it from the tribute to the amazing Harry Chapin. I would love to hear a studio version of this song with Benatar doing it. It works so well with her voice and it has Chapin's amazing soulful touch.
You can go to Amazon and buy it on MP3. It's in a theatre so there's an echo element and she speaks at the beginning which I edited out of this upload.
I had never heard this song until I got Synchronistic Wanderings, and I listened over and over. We Belong is my favourite song ever, but this comes close. I have heard the original but Pat's version brings tears to my eyes. she also sings the only other song that does this to me, Somebody's Baby. Such an incredible lady.
just awesome..... if only pat had done songs like this on her own albums..... i always thought her voice was far better than the material that supported it...
Audio/video sync should be fine; it was when I first uploaded it. This was a PBS Harry Chapin tribute and I think it was around 1989. I went to Pat's "Wide Awake in Dreamland" tour that same year; she is def in her "All Fired Up" video hairstyle.
The performance was part of a tribute and fund-raiser done at Carnegie Hall featuring Harry Chapin's life and songs. It happened seven years after his death (car crash at age 38). You can find the whole program on RUclips. Benatar's performance of Shooting Star is a true standout. She brings life to the song. It is stunning. Toward the end of the concert, there is a fine rendition of "Remember When the Music," sung by a young Bruce Springsteen. It too, is a hidden gem. Well worth searching out to get a listen. Graham Nash does a gentle rendition of "Sandy," a song Harry wrote for his beloved wife. There are also a few well placed recordings of Harry playing a few of his most famous songs.
@@brianeisenstein6144 According to this article (and to Pat when she introduced the song at this performance), the musical was called "The Zinger," Pat played a character named Zephyr, and the show was put on. www.patbenatar.eu/eng/index.php?fl=4&op=mcs&id_cont=162&eng=The%20Harry%20Chapin%20Tribute&idm=200&moi=200
Pat does this song the justice it deserves
Chills.. Harry heard you, Pat. So did we.
That was an amazing and probably truthful statement. ❤
And do I..it's me cry she hard...
I weep everytime I hear this. The ache, the love. Gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
A fitting tribute to a great folk singer. Harry would have been proud.
This is one of my favorite live performances by Pat. First heard this on her CD collection that I bought about 25 years ago. Powerful and sublime at the same time. Excellence!
Wow...that was incredible! Thank you O Lord for the gift of Pat Benatar.
Speechless, what an incredible performance. Noone else could've done this, except pat benatar. Amazing
this performance takes my breath away!!!!!

This was December 7th, 1987. It was a memorial for Harry's birthday.

Oh, right on, right on!
Thank you Harry, thank you Pat, brings tears every time I hear this song.
Me, too... every time.
Excellent version of a Harry Chapin ballad.
One of my favourites from PAT BENATAR SHES AMAZING

I’ve been told that opera training teaches one how to sing emotively, since that is expected of them.
oh pat i love you for your interpretation of this song!!
I'm shaking...oh my what a perfect thing to wake up to,p to
Love her doing this. Still makes me tear up even now.
Beautiful a cover from a classy singer.
This is how it's done!

She looks like she's telling everyone a story. I love it.
Pat You Made Harry Proud With That Performance

I had no idea she covered this song. It's one of my favorites by Harry! So beautiful!
Breathtakingly Beautiful.
Congrats Pat on the RRHoF!
this song is waay to good...damn Benatar!
Me too. This song goes to the CORE.
I've watched this many many times, and I get chill bumps and tears every single time. That is a sign of a true work of art.
Thank you Harry, thank you Pat. Stirs the soul, breaks the heart.
Beautiful

I love this song

One of my favorite love stories as a kid. Still a favorite :)
Her voice is incredible and this song is fantastic.
Would love to hear sing other soulful songs. Powerful.
Wow
Brilliant
Wow, what a song and what a voice!
Amazing

My favorite performance of my favorite Chapin song!!!
This is so AWESOME!
Desde Chile disfrutando esta emocionante interpretación.

Excellent!

Excellent
A famous rock star singing a Harry Chapin classic song while pregaming that Harry was a famous person. Pat was right. He was famous.
just awesome..... if only pat had done songs like this on her own albums..... i always thought her voice was far better than the material that supported it...
thats interesting, considering she wrote/co-wrote much of it.
Love Pat B. Love the Chapin song. The female singer that I would love to hear sing this song is Jackie Evancho.
Thank you! Me too...
Hermosa Interpretación , I love you Patricia Benatar !!!!!!!*********
She is not lip synching here.
Harry inspired me to care. My wife and I inspired our children to care. Lead by example. Be safe.
I feel sorry for those who have never heard this.
Amen, Amen.
Just amazing!!!
wow...Pat
Magnifique
Her voice shines here. So much better than her albums
Yes
Also, you can then "MIX" the final recording as you like. It's a super easy program to use to edit recordings with. I hope this helps you... :)
Audio/video sync should be fine; it was when I first uploaded it. This was a PBS Harry Chapin tribute and I think it was around 1989. I went to Pat's "Wide Awake in Dreamland" tour that same year; she is def in her "All Fired Up" video hairstyle.
The sound is just off a little bit.
Too bad Pat got stereotyped as just a "rocker chick". Her voice could sing anything! Songs like this and "One Love" are among her best.
Come on man, you dont cut out her talking about Harry Chapin.
I miss that part...
Does anyone know what this show was actually about? I've only ever heard the names of the characters, but nothing about the plot.

@@artbrosx I was talking about the actual musical the song came from. I saw this show on PBS when it was aired.
@@artbrosx I hope I didn't sound rude or dismissive.
@@MaskedMan66 from an album Verities & Balderdash. Not from a musical.
