Heart’s Wilson Sisters Overcome Obstacles to Kickstart a Tour Fans Thought Might Not Happen: Concert Review
Heart's tour re-kicked off in L.A. with a satisfying blast of prime '70s rock, if some incidental reminders that we're all 'growin' up in a hurry.'
Nancy, who can always be counted on for a very signature kind of vigorous strumming, takes over the lead vocals as always on “These Dreams,” the plaintive 1985 smash that came to them from the hands of Bernie Taupin and Martin Page, in that period when then they were compelled to record covers to stay ahead. One of the best reasons to attend a Heart show now, though, is to hear some of the songs from their first, most classic period that might have seemed B-list at the time, but come off as nothing but A-grade now — starting at the top of the set with “Bebe Le Strange,” which sounds as good as about anything these days but doesn’t give away too much of the store too early. The loss invoked in mentioning the late guitar hero came and went quickly, but lingered a bit more when the sisters dedicated the set’s one true outlier — “Sand,” a song they did as part of their “side hustle” project the Lovemongers — to the treasured gardener who was cut down by AIDS and inspired the track.
