Well, this clip is from a few weeks ago before she met up with Blondie and the Donnas, but you get the point; Pat Benatar can still hit the high notes, which might be why she's headline the "bizarro-world Lilith Fair" this summer over these respectively older and younger acts.

Based on the review over at Spin of Tuesday night's kickoff show, it sounds like what you'd expect. Blondie phoning it in but still being good, The Donnas being good and no one watching, and Benatar playing the hits with gusto. I know two girls who are best friends with matching tattoos that say "Love Is a Battlefield," and I hope that gets them into the show for free like it does at Rocket From the Crypt shows.
