Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson and the rest of Heart are in good form in this solid if unspectacular 100-minute concert video, shot in 2002 in their hometown of Seattle. The sisters, of course, are a good deal older than in Heart's '70s heyday, and their bandmates have changed, but the group's sound, led by Ann's powerful vocals and Nancy's instrumental versatility, hasn't changed much; that's a good thing for those who revel in the likes of "Barracuda," "Magic Man," and other oldies. There are several brand-new songs here as well, and the ongoing influence of Led Zeppelin is readily apparent, not only in the covers of Zep classics like "Black Dog" and "The Battle of Evermore" but also in Heart's commingling of pastoral acoustic sounds and hard rock. And after 19 songs, even the most ardent Heart lovers should be well satisfied. --Sam Graham

 Now I'm crazy for Heart! June 6, 2008

Wow...What a concert! I was a casual fan of Heart knowing only a couple of songs. After watching this blu-ray, I became a crazy fan of theirs. The band is really talented and every song was performed flawlessly. Of course, the two ladies did phenominal job with such passion and musicianship. For about 5 songs (out of 19), they sing only to acoustic guitars and mandolin. "Alone" sounds great in acoustic version. I also really enjoyed the two popular songs "Barracuda" and "These Dreams". Camera work is precise and outstanding. I know this concert will be one of my all time favorites. I think this should be in your collection too. You won't be sorry.
Technically, I would rate 4/5 for both PQ (1080i with AVC coding) and AQ. (DTS-MA 5.0 & PCM 2.0). There's no extras except photo gallery.
Best Concert DVD yet! June 19, 2008

I have to agree, although I didn't receive my copy on Blu-Ray yet, I saw this concert on HD-DVD several times and it is my favorite Concert DVD so far. I hope the sound on Blu-Ray is as good (or better) than it was on HD-DVD. A must have!
 Not much of an upgrade from SDVD August 9, 2008

I bought this as an upgrade to the stardard version on Dvd i owned. I thought it would be a huge upgrade considering all the great reviews. I loved this performance however if you own it on reg dvd its not worth the upgrade. save your money. the audio quality is no better than regular DTS.
the picture quality is only slightly better.
Musical excellence! August 2, 2008
Aj Viljoen (Kuwait)
I was wondering if it was a good idea to buy a DVD of a reunion concert of a band which was famous twenty years ago. So many bands and publishers are are presenting us with total rubbish, as long as they can have something on DVD. My fondness of Heart won me over and I got the DVD. And I am so glad I did!
This DVD is high quality, from beginning to end and is obviously not just a "reunion concert".
The live show must have been spectacular, as the Wilson sisters still have what it takes, in abundance. The show was filmed in the Paramount in Seattle in front of a home crowd, and it shows. The editors really captured the crowd's dedication and enthusiasm very well, and the interaction between audience and band is great.
The band in itself is also great and deliver a flawless performance. The sisters were in top form and obviously having the time of their lives up there. Anne Wilson delivered a dynamite performance which, during numbers like "Mistral Wind" were nothing short of monumental. Nancy Wilson, although much more understated, showed, yet again, why the Wilson sisters have built up such a formidable reputation and following over the years, as they are truly masters of their craft.
The selection is also commendable. They seem to have struck an ideal balance between old staples, new compositions and covers (of Elton John and Led Zeppelin). And, the new stuff is GOOD! All the obvious choices (Barracuda, Magic Man, Dog and Butterfly) are also included.
One thing which fascinates me, is how Nancy Wilson's whole demeanor changes with each instrument she plays - to see how she becomes more romantic playing acoustic instruments, bubbly when she straps on a Telecaster and almost dangerous when she starts slinging her Gibson SG around! Very intersting.
Make no mistake: watching this DVD will bring on the nostalgia, BIG TIME!
This DVD is a must for every Heart fan. If you are not a Heart fan, this is the PERFECT place to start!
 Alive.... and still kicking August 3, 2008
Claudio Montenegro (McLean, Virigina)
Well, despite the passage of the years, the voice is still there. A few of the tracts, Barracuda in particular, raised the hairs on my neck just like when I was in speeding down some Virginia country road many years ago. Worth the price of admission.
