1977 The Midnight Special
Heart is a favorite band and my first concert so this takes me back to that time. Ann Wilson is the greatest female rock singer of all time. Period. No debate. Sister Nancy is the greatest female rock guitarist. Everyone knows Heart’s signature song “Barracuda” is a blistering barn burner. What you see and hear on the Midnight Special is the original Heart lineup when Ann’s booming soaring vocals were a stunning revelation. If the band’s musical awesomeness 50 years ago wasn’t enough, the Wilson sisters were drop dead gorgeous.

My opinion of Heart is I have both versions of 'Magazine' (banned original + remix) plus a picture disc of it and then I have 6 other albums by them.

Bringing back great memories of staying up late on the weekends to watch The Midnight Special and Rock Concert as a kid.

Can you imagine that we had Midnight Special and Rock Concert weekly with live performances of all the greats of the time. MTV ruined that with videos. We got to see live!

All their songs were great. I used to know some people who performed locally they were sisters and did a lot of Heart music. Their group had a pretty obvious name One of the group members a sister was a bit insane...as you know the line between genius and madness is slim.
