I was at the Dreamboat Annie Live concert in April. While I love the DVD and the CD and feel both are must have additions to any Heart fans' collection, there is nothing like having been there at that concert. It was a magical night and the crowd, a few thousand strong was certainly more responsive and louder than the shows I attended in the 80s when Ann and Nancy were playing arena size venues. And Ann and Nancy and crew seemed to feed off of that energy and returned possibly the best Heart show I've ever seen. And I'm well into twenty shows at this point. The DVD does a great job capturing the vibe as much as it can. But being there was an experience I will never forget barring a forced lobotomy. Take Heart, Andrea 653519@blogcritics.org Mon, 12 Nov 2007 19:04:13 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/11/11/153345.php#comment-653440 I saw this performance on a Jet Blue flight on VH1 or something and while waiting in JB/JFK terminal for my connection, I went on JB's free WiFi and bought the CD on Amazon. Now this isn't a commercial for JetBlue, Amazon or the like, however, the DVD sold this CD to me and everything else enabled it. Well, I got the CD in the mail last week and have enjoyed playing it daily ever since. Good CD, but I'd recommend the DVD as well. Nice review and article Corylus! Thanks... 653440@blogcritics.org Mon, 12 Nov 2007 17:24:27 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/11/11/153345.php#comment-653402 Gotta tell you my Heart story (probably did already once). As a teenager, I saw them on a Canadian tour opening for April Wine right after Dreamboat Annie came out. Everyone was saying along the lines, "Never heard of Heart - what a terrible name for a band. So - lightweight." When they finally ht the stage, it was like, "Oh, man - chicks in a band - this is going to be so wimpy!" Then they opened with I believe "Barracuda." After that, I never questioned whether women can rock or not - who sez a fifteen year old can't learn to change his preconceptions? 653402@blogcritics.org Mon, 12 Nov 2007 16:49:14 EST
