Pat Benatar Launches 35th Anniversary Tour

Rock superstars Pat Benatar and Neil "Spyder" Giraldo are celebrating their latest musical milestone with the release of the CD/DVD set, "Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo: The 35th Anniversary Tour" on April 28. The 14-track commemorative package features their greatest and groundbreaking hits.

Their lead-off single from the live CD, "Promises in the Dark," will be released to radio this week. It originally rocked airwaves in 1981 as part of the hit album, "Precious Time," and was co-written by the iconic duo. Pre-orders of the double CD include free instant downloads, "We Live for Love" and "Promises in the Dark" on iTunes. Fans can also pre-order the set at
Amazon.

"We are thrilled to be releasing this live version of 'Promises in the Dark' from our 35th Anniversary Concert Tour. 'Promises' has special meaning for us. It was the first song we wrote together, about our own relationship. A little awkward at first, to be sure! It has become one of our signature compositions and a favorite to play live," Benatar and Giraldo explain.

"Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo: The 35th Anniversary Tour" CD/DVD set kicks off with "Shadows of the Night," which was a Top 10 hit for the couple on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart in 1982. Other hit singles include "Love is a Battlefield," "We Belong," "Heartbreaker," and "Hell is for Children." Together, Benatar and Giraldo, have 19 Top 40 singles and multiple Top 10 singles. They have scored two RIAA-certified Multi-Platinum albums, five RIAA-certified Platinum albums, and three RIAA-certified Gold albums.

In addition to the CD/DVD, the acclaimed duo will launch the 35th Anniversary Tour on Friday, April 10 in Jackson, California.
