Tix relatively inexpensive compared to other shows with similar artists.
Parking is high as giraffe stuff, though. $45 @ the Dome and the garage next door.
Hate that I have to pre-game at walk ons, but I ain’t in a Ubering mood. Sue me.
Anyone else going?

Saw Pat and Neil at the NOLA House of Blues in the late '90s. Amazing show. I prefer to keep that memory.

So far, Pat is in great voice and Neil is shredding.

Great 10 song set by Benatar/Giraldo. “Hell is for Children” was a highlight. You can still throw a cat through Pat’s vibrato.
ETA: I like Bryan Adams, he was part of the soundtrack to my youth, and an early MTV influence, but I was here for Pat Benatar. I could leave now and be happy.

Saw the show last night at Simmons arena in N Little Rock. The sound was atrocious for Pat and Neil. And I understand the dynamic and history, but Neil is too center staged for a pop act. His guitar was overplaying her voice. It was very frustrating.
Not sure what the difference was, but Bryan Adams put on a great show and the sound was on point. Very clear and balanced. They played for right at 2 hours. He’s got a really solid approach to get the crowd involved and keep the energy up. Pat was at a solid hour but the sound was so bad, the crowd was really flat in response.
If you’re on the fence about going to a show in your area, just buy the damn tickets and enjoy the show.

Pat was a bucket list since I had never seen her. She was good but something was off slightly.
But Bryan Adams killed it!
He was so good.........saw him once before in 1985 but he was fantastic.
You forget how many songs he has until you see him live.
Awesome show overall!

Yeah. My daughter is a big fan so I've seen Adams three times - at Beale Street, at an amphitheater and solo acoustic - and he was great each time. He hasn't lost one bit of his voice yet. Original keys on everything.
I think his continuing to tour regularly has kept his voice in prime shape. Use it or lose it.

Agree completely with this. Giraldo needs to check his ego and stop threatening the sound man to make him the loudest thing in the mix. The sound was atrocious and he played over the top of everyone. What a clown.
Bryan Adams was phenomenal. Voice was in top form. Band was outstanding.

Wife and I went and we agree, great show for $60 a piece.
Both bands were excellent, Neil tore it up and I thought the sound was excellent for both, not too loud, could hear all the words and nuances.

Okay, glad I'm not crazy about how loud I thought his guitar sounded! It really did stand out though
