Concert Review: Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo - Palace Theatre
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo brought their tour to Albany's Palace Theatre on Wednesday night. Although it has been forty-six years since the release of her debut album "In The Heat of the Night," the 72-year old Benatar hasn't lost a step musically. The four time Grammy winner sounds just as strong today as she did during the height of her career. Giraldo's muscular guitar playing has always been the backbone to Benatar's songs, giving them the hard rock edge that set her apart from her 80's contemporaries. Benatar and Giraldo have been married for decades and this familiarity really shows on stage. They clearly enjoy playing these songs together and their interaction is effortless. In a time of disposable relationships and temporary everything, it is refreshing to see two people still taking the world on, together.
