Not Only Does Benatar Sound Amazingly Intense And Vibrant, But The Choice Of Songs For The Album Couldn't Have Been Better. Starting Off With The Explosive Chorus Of "Fire And Ice" And Leading Fluidly Into The Seductive "Looking For A Stranger," Pat Benatar Ignites Quickly And Effectively Before Going Into A Well-Constructed Medley Of "I Want Out," "We Live For Love," And The Darkened "Hell Is For Children." Benatar's Musicians Are Sharp As Well, Especially On The Faster-Than-Usual Tempo Of "Hit Me With Your Best Shot," While "Heartbreaker" Finishes Off Her Live Material With The Allure Of Her Voice Enticing The Chorus.
