This might interest some of you - especially in the LA area:

 There's a group - called "The Long Players" here. Each month, they  play a 
classic album live - in its entirety. The albums  are usually NOT something 
everyone might see otherwise - they've done a Hawkwind  show, Budgie, Fairport 
Convention, Leonard Cohen, Black Sabbath. Roxy Music's  second album is on the 
burner as is this...
 
This month, is Heart's great "Dreamboat Annie" on the 25th  (next week) at 
The Scene in Glendale! _http://www.thescenebar.com/_

The band is different each time, finding those suited to the material. It's  
not a "tribute", as no one pretends to be any particular person (we have  
three girls in the band!). We'll probably wear some cool '70's clothes  to get 
everyone in the mood though. I joined just for this show - as I know and  love 
all the Heart records. 
 
"Dreamboat Annie" is a really HARD record to do live; I don't think  they 
understood that when it was chosen. ANY Heart album after that is easier,  but 
what's life without a challenge, eh? I don't think it will be  exceptional - we 
had a little over a month to learn everything and lost  a drummer halfway 
through. (But it will be the BEST "Dreamboat Annie" you're  likely to see this 
year!) We'll do the best we can to pull it off like the  record. Hopefully with 
an audience of fans singing along... positive  vibes do wonders on and off 
stage!
 
For you all - it will be interesting to see songs you've probably never  
expected to hear performed - like "Soul of the Sea", "Love Me Like  Music", and 
all the various "Dreamboat Annie" versions! Of course, Heart still  play two of 
them regularly (MMan, Crazy), and used to do "Sing Child" and "White  
Lightning and Wine" - but it's been a LONG time - almost 30 years!!
 
PLEASE pass this on to any lists, Mongers, or fans who might care to go.  
Each one happens only once (that's a LOT of work for one show!) so please come  
out if you can...
 
Cheers and thanks!
Brian
