AMG Review of Summer Vacation Tour Live
Rob Theakston
All Music GuideThis live recording features Neil Giraldo as co-headliner, but it's Pat Benatar who unquestionably steals the show, running through a set list featuring some of her finest moments ("We Belong," "Love Is a Battlefield," "Heartbreaker," and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot"), a few new tunes, and some performed in an acoustic setting. Benatar hasn't lost a step and her voice can still hit those notes and wail those longs passages in her easily identifiable and distinctive voice. Though other hits from her career could have been used in place of the newer material (where's "Shadows of the Night"?), this is still a fun little live album from one of the best arena rock vocalists of the '80s.
