This is a bit odd with the Dreamboat Annie songs followed by some unexpected live cover versions rather than revisiting some of Heart’s own better known later songs.

I prefer the approach taken by Primal Scream with Psychedlica. They played the album live and then brought together a short set of their other songs.

The covers are interesting initially but I fear that interest wanes over time. If you want to hear Zeppelin, Floyd or The Who, you will turn elsewhere in your album collection.

Performance

These classic albums played live are always a bit of a risk and opinions tend to vary based on the opinion of the original album and live albums in general. Some people are horrified that something can be changed or updated.

This isn’t an exact duplication of the studio album and I don’t want it to be. Ann Wilson’s voice has matured over the years and it’s huskier.

What People Say About Dreamboat Annie Live

Heart have never been a critics favourite so it’s no surprise that I haven’t seen this listed on the great live albums lists.

It is appreciated at Amazon although there are some dissenting voices.
