I'm not going to compare this to the other current DVD by HEART, who SHOULD be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Alive in Seattle...its pointless who needs to choose I'd suggest you buy them BOTH!

But back to this show...its a very very good mix of absolute classics , sprinkled with some new material and benefits from a few Zep covers (nobody I mean NOBODY sings Zep like Ann Wilson). The Sound Stage production values are as good as any you will ever get. Bottom line...if you are a fan (and I can't believe you would be reading if you are not) ...get it!

I'm an old guy, and remember when these ..real "sisters" burst onto the scene and nobody could believe a band led by girls could rock this hard...well they still do!!!

fabulous fabulous fabulous...and the 9 minute interview is great.

also...the DVD where they re-create the classic DREAMBOAT ANNIE album live is wonderful as well. I like all their projects but perhaps I'd choose this if I was budgeting for only 1 as it is varied...and is such high quality production.

Koch Vision and Soundstage presents "HEART LIVE" (2008) (110 mins/Color) (Dolby digitally remastered) --- Now, an astonishing three decades later, the gals are back and better than ever. Soundstage: Heart Live, from the show's third season (2005), captures the group giving in to its love of all music. In between its numerous classics are sensational covers of Zeppelin and Elton John tracks, and there is a nice combination of all-out amplified anger and slowed-down acoustic clarity.

Heart is a rock band formed in Bellevue, Washington (a suburb of Seattle) and Vancouver, British Columbia --- Going through several lineup changes, the only constant members of the group are sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson --- The group rose to fame in the 1970s with their music being influenced by hard rock as well as folk music --- After diminishing in popularity by the mid-80's, the band created a major comeback in 1985 experiencing further success with their power ballads throughout the rest of the decade. By the mid-1990s --- Heart left their 80's sound and went back to their hard rock roots which they continue to play today. They have sold over 30 million albums worldwide

Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, the front women of classic rock act Heart, offer passionate performances of hits "Barracuda," "These Dreams," "Crazy on You," and 20 others in this entry in PBS Soundstage concert series --- This intimate concert for die-hard fans is presented here in stunning HD, and includes interviews with each of the Wilson sisters.

This is quite possibly the highest quality concert ever filmed of one of the most important rock bands of the last forty years. Nancy Wilson looks and sounds amazing, and the band is tight and in sync. The only problems with this show are the omission of 'Never' and the fact that this wasn't Ann Wilson's best night vocally. She is scratchy and often shies away from the highest notes. Its unfortunate because I saw her live this summer, and she sounded great. Overall, still a great show, however.

MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN HEART FANS SINCE WE WERE TEENS. I LIKE THIS SHOW BECAUSE IT HAS SONGS THAT WE LIKE THAT ALIVE IN SEATTLE DIDNT HAVE. IF YOU LIKE HEART, YOU'LL LIKE THIS CONCERT.

I have been a Heart fan since 1976. In the long ago past I've seen them in concert, and was not happy with what I heard. As the band has continued to grow, the concerts started sounding more, and more like the album they were promoting. This DVD is what I would consider "Collectable". It gave me great pleasure to hear some of my favorite songs sound so darn good live! If you are interested in getting the best in live renditions; this DVD is the bomb!

While I listened to Heart a great deal in their day, I have to say I was blown away by this concert. These ladies are in their 50s and wow what energy and fire they have! They are as tight as they have ever been and their song selection is wonderful. The covers of The Battle of Evermore, Misty Mountain Hop and Black Dog by Led Zeppelin were outstanding.

Soundstage did a terrific job with the sound and production of this DVD. My daughter watched it with me and is now a Heart/Love Mongers fan.

Grats to Ann and Nancy and the rest of the band. This is top notch!

I have always enjoyed Heart and their above the level entertainment. Ann's vocals are fantastic, and the rocker guitar of Nancy make a person stand up in the living room and sing along as if I were there. Love the talent of this group!!!

Ann and Nancy never sounded better. Still the rockinest two women around. Their early material is crisp, clear and updated. I loved hearing Ann sing Led Zep again. Wouldn't it be fun to see her duo with Robert Plant? If you love Heart, buy this DVD and turn it up loud.

I would definitely recommend this dvd....because it is fantastic! The quality is excellent, with great closeups, making you feel like you are really there. The song selections are great, with new songs, old songs, and several Zeppelin tunes. And Heart has never sounded better. Ann sounds amazing on Black Dog!! Also included is a short interview, which I enjoyed as well. The only bad thing was that I wished it were longer, because I wanted to hear more!!! So, I just watched it all over again. Heart Live is a wonderful musical experience. Enjoy it!

Here is just another great Heart DVD. Out of 3 dvd's I don'think they have a bad one yet.
