On November 24th, 2025 Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo opened the night with All Fired Up (Rattling Sabres cover). Benatar brought everyone to their feet instantly with her iconic stage presence and sparkly pants. Pat then introduced Neil and talked about how they got started in 1979 & introduced the first love song they wrote about themselves rather than the fans: promises in the dark, the chemistry the two have is so special to witness especially after so many years together. Pat of course is still rocking those high notes in every song despite the altitude.
The duo then played a slowed down shadows of the night with just Neil and herself which of course brought everyone to their feels and brought out the phone flashlights. Witnessing this song slowed down and acoustic was one of a kind. Next up was their newest song Come On People with Neil now on the piano. We Belong brought everyone together and raised flashlights immediately upon the first few notes.
To close out her set she played hell is for children, you better run, love is a battlefield, and a mash up of heartbreaker and ring of fire which was accompanied by Neil’s extraordinary guitar solo closer and the duo's bow to finish out their set.
