BOMB THREAT at PAT BENATAR Concert! (live 1980) PatBenatarLibrary

Just before "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" the concert is interrupted by bomb threat.

FROM PAT'S MEMOIR "BETWEEN A HEART AND A ROCK PLACE" (CHAPTER 3):
A few weeks later we were playing a club in Florida, and again the place was oversold and teeming with people. We'd just begun our set when our tour manager rushed up to the stage yelling something inaudible. Because we were extremely loud, I could barely make out his words beneath all the noise, but he seemed to be saying, "You have to get off!"
I looked at him in disbelief. What the hell was he doing? We were in the middle of performing. Get out of my face. But he was panicked.
Finally I heard him say, "You've got to stop, get off..." which was followed by something unintelligible that sounded a lot like "you're bombing." I shot him a look like he was a mental patient. The audience was going nuts. They were hanging on every note.
"What!? Are you nuts?" I shouted back. "These people are going crazy!"
And that was when he grabbed me by my jacket lapels and screamed, "There's a bomb!" There was no mistaking those words.
It turned out that someone had called in a bomb threat and everyone had to vacate. Needless to say everyone filed out of the theater and stood in the street until the bomb squad gave the all-clear. Then everybody went back inside and we continued our show like nothing had ever happened.

"HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT" LYRICS:
Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
That's O.K., lets see how you do it
Put up your dukes, lets get down to it!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!

You come on with a "come on", you don't fight fair
But that's O.K., see if I care!
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I'll get right back on my feet again!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!

Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case
You better make sure you put me in my place

Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Come On, Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
