Britt, you're missing out not seeing this music video. The dance is iconic, and it's a real banger! This is a more chill version, more acoustic. And while they say they've been performing this song for 22 years, think about this. This video is from 22 years ago. So really, this song has been performed for 40+ years now!

Now we need the rest Boston for starters. No they didn't have a lot of albums but they were iconic.

The original version is very much a "rock anthem" that captures the angst and longing of a new and fragile love. This version is a "ballad" that expresses the acceptance and compassion of a long shared love together. For one song to so perfectly show two different extremes so beautifully is incredible!

This song is from the movie 13 going on 30 with Jennifer Gardner

The guitarist is her husband, Neil Giraldo, and they have been together since the beginning. A very successful marriage, which is rare in entertainment. Also, Pat was originally to be an opera singer. Watch the movie FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH. She's not in the movie, but there are a lot of girls in the movie that copied her style with the short hair cuts and leg warmers. Leg warmers in the 80's were inspired by her.

They've been together since early in Pat's long career, but not the very beginning...which was in Richmond, VA in the mid-70s with a ten-person band called Coxon's Army. She was a bank teller by day and a lounge singer after dark! In '75, Pat's first husband (Dennis Benetar) was discharged from the Army and the couple moved to NYC. A few years later, they divorced. Pat & Neil worked together and, eventually, were married in 1982.

Yeah. Small in stature, she is an absolute powerhouse rocker with phenomenal range! You can find some as much of a powerhouse, but you won't find anyone more of one!

I've always felt that Pat and Anne Wilson of Heart are still the BEST female rock voices ever.

Her song Promises in the Dark is a must watch for her rocker persona. She was the ultimate rocker chick in the 80s.

Britt... I am hear to tell you, she and her husband (lead guitarist) are legends! She was training in the opera realm of music and then switched to rock. I've seen her in concert 3 times. I just saw her about 8 years ago and she is STILL phenomenal at 71 years young!

That's her husband Neil Geraldo...a top shelf guitarist. They've been married 40 years or so. So many great songs!

Pat Benatar is a rock icon... Love her... She has been around for a long time, and has some great songs...

She is a ROCK STAR 🌟

She is one of the legend female rockers ever!!! Should definitely react to more of her!

We still look amazing. All that fresh air we got as kids. Pat has earned her place in our hearts.

I'm glad you did this version, I had never seen it. Pat and Neil are still together, seeing them singing together is a treat. Neil is as important in their success, arranging and playing lead guitar, you can see them in other live performances glancing at each with respect which is the foundation of love.

Pat Benatar is a legend and I love her music. "We Belong", "Hell is for Children", "Shadows of the Night" and "Wuthering Heights" ... love her voice ... even 20+ years later she's still got it.

She's a badass, and Spyder, Neil's nickname is an amazing guitarist, they've been a package deal since the beginning

Pat Benatar is in a battle with Ann Wilson (who has the slight edge) for the greatest female rock vocalist of all-time.

Pat started out as an operatic singer. I am so grateful and lucky my generation was blessed with artists who were actually gifted singers and produced and wrote their own stuff.

Pat Benatar was my first Rock & Roll crush... more than 40 years ago... up to and including this very day... The catalog of music that Pat and Neil have recoded and released is nothing short of LEGENDARY. Their inception to the R&RHOF was far overdue and better deserved than 90% of the previous members. This is the epitome of ROCK AND ROLL POWER COUPLE. This is a rabbit hole you MUST deep dive into.

Pat Benatar, she's one of the pioneers pioneer women of Rock and Roll!

Pat was also a Opera singer as well. ❤ One of her best songs in my opinion is "Hell is for Children" you should listen to it, You won't be disappointed.

Hell Is for Children Is another great iconic song from her

Pat is a icon!!! I fell in love with her way back in 1980 when I heard her song Heartbreaker!!!

Pat is a powerful singer on her original song ! I love this version ! I went to her concert about 40 years ago ? And she rocked it ! Wow ! Thanks for bringing up my memory !

This video is totally worth watching... but you do still need to catch the original video to understand how EPIC this song was 40 years ago... AND has remained that way... You also need to understand that singing this song in its original form would have had major wear and tear on her voice from singing it that way for all these years... She is entitled to strip it down like this...

Pat Benetar was practically the queen of the 80s. She had several bangers. "Invincible" and "Heartbreaker" were roughly equally big hits to "Love is a Battlefield."

Yes, she's a real rock legend. Her and her husband. ❤

This was her "Unplugged" version of the song. Very laid back.

There will be passion is all their music because they are the writers! A must: We Belong

This was an great awesome song I grew up in the late 60s and 70,s and 80s music just awesome still being playing today and the the Motown era also brings back alot memories great awesome reaction by you again thank you so much for sharing your video with us Britt love it.👍

I personally love that you prioritize finding live versions of songs. It exposes me to performances I've never seen before.

I’m 59 and this song came out when I was in ninth grade her voice is still wow

I was 10 when this song came out 40 years ago! 1983 is when this song came out. I have the cassette tape of this album and of course the vinyl as well.

Pat Benatar is a GREAT singer - explore and enjoy! ❤

Ohhhhh Yeah she can rock out big time!

Also check out Invincible. It was an Anthem for the movie The Legend of Billie Jean (also from the 80's) The original was more of an anthem. They've slowed it way down. Love this song. Just love it better when they're rocking it out. It made you feel like you could save the whole world. And the dance in the original music video was what all us girls were trying to do on dance floors and in our living rooms all around the country.

I saw Pat,Neil and band live just a few years ago. She said they have 14 songs they have to do each show or they catch hell on Facebook the next day, this being one of the songs on their “Facebook 14” list.

If you want to see two absolute powerhouses on stage, check out the Pat Benatar/Martina McBride Crossroads. Any of the clips taken from that are worth it!!

Pat's "Heartbreaker" &"Treat Me Right" are amazing

Saw her in concert in the 80's and she sounded just as powerful live. Big Pat Benatar fan. Try Hell is For Children track

Early 80's :) I really appreciate how genuine you are in your reactions. Thanks for sharing and I'd never heard this version, I like it better. That haircut of hers was as popular in the 80's as the Racheal cut was in the 90's. Fast Times At Ridgemont High pokes a funny jab at the fad her haircut created.

An incredible performer with a beautiful, yet powerful, voice. I had the great fortune of seeing her just before the fame. One of those serendipitous moments that happen in life, hearing her soundcheck from outside the legendary Commodore Ballroom. That voice made me have to go after just hearing the warmup. I wasn't disappointed and seeing her in a venue that only seats 1000 meant we were all close to the stage. One of my favourite shows, and I've seen hundreds. When her first album came out, I recognised her name and immediately got my copy. It's still in my vinyl collection today. Pat Benatar is operatically trained so she knows how to project her voice, but she can sing in any style, from Rock to Jazz to soulful ballads. A true talent and an inspiration to so many women in the industry.

I grew up in the 80s i loved her , then as well

Lots of great music down this rabbit hole.

Awesome in concert

Pat Benatar studied Opera Singing when she was younger and found Rock Music. The gentleman playing guitar is her husband Neil Giraldo. Great song writer for so many artists.

Pat Benatar used to be an Opera Singer and that is Why Her Voice is the Most Beautiful in all of Rock Music .

All fired up and promises in the dark great songs too

Yes, she can really rock out!😊

Pat is a trained opera singer turned rock star. This song is in an iconic scene in the movie “13 Going On 30”

The song was originally used in the movie "Ode to Billie Jean." It's a movie about two kids that fell in love and against the wishes of everyone stayed together. Except during the middle where they naturally had a fight and broke up for a while.

This was an iconic song in the 1980's That era had a high bar to compete for a female singer, Pat Benatar, Bony Tyler, Laura Branigan, Kim Karnes, Stevie Nix, those are the ones I remember from the top of my head but there were many more.

Pat turn 70 on January 10,2023. She was 48 years old here. The song was recorded and released on September 12, 1983, when she was 30 years old. Patty was born "Patricia Mae Andrzejewski on January 10,1953".

Pat is a legendary trail blazer for women's rock

When she was younger she could really rock!!!

You watched the one that you need. :) The guitaris is Pat's husband of a 30+ years, and he was the guitarist in her band.This was a tour where it was just the two of them, and it was an amazing show. (Saw this tour in Idaho Falls, ID)

She still sounds great! I have seen her 7 times and she doesn’t disappoint!

WOW I'VE NEVER HEARD THIS VERSION BUT I ❤ LOVE IT!! BUT YES BRITT, THE ORIGINAL MTV MUSIC VIDEO FOR THIS SONG IS EPIC!!! YOU'LL ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE VIBE!!!

Truly true words, love your reaction Britt ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Oh Britt, you have to view the oringal, Pat has always been outstanding.

Yes the studio version she’s definitely rocking out and it’s much more powerful.

Released in 1983 and it was meant to be a mid tempo song but they sped it up in the original recording. This is the the Echo Beach Anniversary version; another song that was slowed down in later years.

pat is incredible and neil can play the hell out of the guitar. sexy married couple for many years.

Physically and vocally, Pat is a tiny little POWERHOUSE!

This song works as an acoustic version, the rock version is fun too. You would enjoy both. It was in the 80’s! You remember in Pitch Perfect when they did “Ladies of the 80’s” in the Riff Off and the girls sang “ Hit Me With Your Best Shot? That’s Pat , too.

Britt, I was one of the lucky ones to attend one of her concerts in the 70's. Pat Benatar is a pure ball of fire and energy throughout her show. And just in case you didn't know, Pat Benatar started her career as an opera singer. She has the talent to belt out songs with powerful lyrics and an amazingly talented voice! You can tell in some parts of her songs that the opera background really influenced her style of singing. It's so amazing and unique. Loved your reaction to Pat Benatar!

She started out/aspired/trained to be an opera singer (5 octave voice) before switching to rock. And it shows

Pat Benatar is a legend. Invincible is an anthem and Love is a Battlefield an mtv classic.

You were correct, Pat is one of the original rocker ladies. (and she is bada$$) She can sing of course, and you would probably enjoy some of her other songs. That is from my time so there is a chance I own all of her albums. So much good music from back in the day (think it was a Tuesday) that it's hard to keep track of it everything. 😄

I love pat and glad you did this video i had never see it before so I'm not screaming at you 👍

"I feel like she could really rock out if she wanted to". If only you knew.

B - Pat was a trailblazer among female rockers. She took arrows, insults, and abuse in the male-dominated music industry -- future generations of female rockers owe her a debt of gratitude. As a female in today's entertainment industry, you can fully appreciate her autobiography, "Between a Heart and a Rock Place." It was published in 2011 and details her struggle to succeed in a system where the odds were stacked against women.

I got to see them for their 40th anniversary tour in 2019. Awesome, and her voice is still strong!!!

Pat is classically trained singer at juliard. Her parents are also musicians.

This is the first time I'm hearing this version and it's really good

Yes Britt she is a powerhouse singer. One of the Great voices of the 80s. Check out more Pat.

She is actually a classically trained vocalist.

This song was actually released in 1983... 40 years ago. Grew up in the 80s and love Pat Benatar. She has so many great songs! Love the reactions Britt!! 😜

Pat was a ROCK STAR in a time of real rockstars,and the original version of this song is an absolut clasic.

Glad that you have discovered Pat Benatar a 70's 80's petite powerhouse vocalist like Ann Wilson. So many songs to react to watch.

Yes, you need to watch the original video/song, much different but she has such an amazing voice especially after all these years. This was a song from the 80's.

You are correct, she can and does rockout in the original version. The song and the video made you feel like you could go out and conquer the world.

I am partial to the more rockin’ Pat Benatar on songs like Hell Is For Children, Fire and Ice, Heartbreaker. But you should watch the video for Shadows of the Night and see if you recognize the famous actors in it that just happened to be shooting in the next studio and wanted to be in the video.

Love this version. Stripped down and essential.

Although this is a nice and clean version. The original version really makes you feel the lyrics. Because her voice is so awesome.

This is a GREAT SONG

The guitarist Neil Giraldo her husband since 1982

the OG music video is iconic

They were put together in the late 70’s for Spydee, her then guitar player, and her to create music together. Over the years they fell in love, got married and in 2023 after over 40 plus years are still going strong as husband and wife and performers. They have even adapted their music to a Broadway musical currently in production

I went too see Elvis Presley in 1975 at the Pontiac Silver in Michigan he look very ill and tired and so exhausted up there but he still pour his heart performing for his fans it was an awesome concert never will forget it in my life either got too see Tom Jones perform at the State Fair too growing are parents taking us all their that day in Detroit awesome singing by Tom Jones it was so great that day too hear him sing my parents are go now with Jesus' in heaven now my they rest in peace now miss them dearly now.🙏
