[Dreamboat] Seattle show

[Loralie Freeman]

One thing I forgot about totally - does anyone know who that young man was 
who waved at us from the stage?

It was funny - I did see him before he waved.  He sort of ran behind the 
drum kit.  But he came part-way to the front of the stage, everyone 
appluaded and he had time to wave before he got hussled off stage.

>>Dearest Dad, I just got back from Heart's homecoming concert at the
>>Paramount. I want to write you a quick letter but first I have to find my
>>mind. Yes, I lost it at the show. When did this happen, you may wonder?
>>
>>MUSIC REVIEW
>>HEART
>>
>>
>>
>>WHERE: Paramount Theatre
>>
>>WHEN: Thursday night
>>
>>Was it when they opened the show with "Magic Man," a song that has been
>>played on at least one American radio station every single day since its
>>release in 1976? Or when they followed it immediately with "Straight On" 
>>and
>>"Love Alive"?
>>
>>No, I managed to keep myself together through these. And you'll never 
>>guess
>>anyway, so I'll just tell you. Near the middle, they reveled in "These
>>Dreams" and "Alone," both culled from their semi-cheesy '80s phase.
>>
>>But who didn't go through this phase? I mention this dark period not to
>>chide anyone, in fact, Heart endured this pop-stinky epoch while 
>>maintaining
>>some grandeur largely because of the operatic power of Ann Wilson's grand
>>voice, which both songs showcased.
>>
>>And let me just add another tangent: Wilson is 56 years old. She can bend.
>>She can kick. And (expletive, expletive) can she sing.
>>
>>So, they got their big hits out of the way. They got their '80s out of the
>>way. What was left? The covers.
>>
>>And who could the first major female-fronted rock band in America (Ann and
>>Nancy Wilson never, never exploited or used their gender as a novelty -- 
>>no,
>>the Wilson sisters straight-up rocked, doing for women what Led Zeppelin 
>>did
>>for men) possibly cover? Here's your first clue: "Quadrophenia." Second
>>clue: side four of the double album, the song that ended the Who's second
>>rock opera. That's right, "Love, Reign O'er Me."
>>
>>Dad, every single expletive I have ever indirectly learned from you could
>>not suffice in describing this experience. This had to have been one of 
>>the
>>hardest-hitting moments in my rock 'n' roll life. When Ann shouted "Love,
>>reign o'er me, rain on me" again and again against the fiery bombast of 
>>the
>>guitar, bass and drum cacophony, I thought the roof was going to cave in 
>>and
>>there indeed would be "the rain that makes you yearn to the sky ... the 
>>rain
>>that falls like tears from on high."
>>
>>They could have finished there but Heart kept going. With what you ask?
>>Well, if you belong among the pantheon of classic rock gods and goddesses,
>>you follow it with one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in history, 
>>the
>>galloping "Duhn-dah-dah-duhn, dah-dah-duhn, dah-dah-duhn, dah-dah-duhn,
>>dah-dah-duhn-uhn ... BEOW-WOW" of "Barracuda" and not one, but two Led
>>Zeppelin covers: "Black Dog" and "Misty Mountain Hop."
>>
>>The show lasted a mere hour and a half, which was disappointing. But Ann 
>>and
>>Nancy both know it's only because I wanted more, more, more. And next 
>>time,
>>you're going with me!
