New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The ferocious duo Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo just wrapped up a busy week promoting their 35th Anniversary Tour DVD and CD with stops in New York city where not only did they knock out live appearances on CBS This Morning, FOX News and CNBC but also taped an hour long interview for AXS "The Big Interview With Dan Rather," which is scheduled to air on July 21st. In addition the pair sat down with Fox 411 and ABC News. The tour continued through New Jersey, Texas, Louisiana and Tennessee where they played the Ryman Auditorium, and were interviewed by RollingStone.com. The story features a debut video clip from the DVD's live show encore featuring the breakthrough hit "
Heartbreaker" and the
Johnny Cash classic "Ring of Fire."
The hour-long interview special with Rather explores the couple's musical and personal partnership which began in 1979 and continues today. In addition to 35 year professional partnership the couple has been married since 1981.
"It was great to share with Dan our story," said Neil about the Rather interview. "He really took the time to explore our partnership and understand how we have worked together to create music, but we were also able to talk about all the other aspects of our partnership personal and professional. It's not all about the music there is so much more to who we are."
The night after New York the couple played to a packed house at the "Mother Church of Country Music," The Ryman Auditorium. The dynamic duo rocked the house with a set that included several of their biggest hits but also included the encore of their breakthrough "
Heartbreaker" and the
Johnny Cash classic "Ring of Fire."
"We often close our shows with "
Heartbreaker" and "Ring of Fire," said Pat. "It was amazing to play have a chance to do that on the same stage where
Johnny Cash once played. Our interview with RollingStone.com took place earlier in the day backstage, so I'm happy to have them debuting our live video clip from our live 35th Anniversary Concert DVD/CD with the article."
