“Tonight, the Bowery Presents hits us with its best shots: '80s rocker Pat Benatar and '70s American powerband REO Speedwagon team up for their Love on the Run tour. Benatar recently released the decidedly un-rock-like autobiography, Between A Heart And A Rock Place, a tome that chronicles her reign as the early queen of MTV, and, among other things, her battles with Chrysalis about marketing her music. The singer's unmistakable sound marries her early operatic training with more hardcore rock leanings; listen to "Hell Is For Children" from arguably her best effort:1980's Crimes of Passion, for a quick refresher.”

Formed in 1967, signed in 1971 and fronted by iconic vocalist Kevin Cronin since 1972, REO Speedwagon has been a confounding blend of consistency and change for decades. Pat Benatar is a four-time Grammy winner with six platinum and four gold albums to her credit as well as such hit singles as "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," and "Love Is A Battlefield." Long acknowledged as one of the leading female rock vocalists in the industry, Benatar will be embarking on her first live concert dates in more than two years before going into the studio to record her first album since '93's Gravity's Rainbow.
