Heart to Heart

Happy hour has begun and that means it's time for your weekly video date. I caught this performance pretty soon after it was taped and was quite blown away. Heart is definitely one of the bands that we all grew up with. When The Knots recorded last year at Mushroom Studios, it felt kind of weird being in the same control room where Dreamboat Annie was captured so long ago. Both Ann and Nancy Wilson are still touring, and although the backing band has changed, the true essence of Heart still remains. They can be mellow, dreamy and ethereal - and then kill it with "Barracuda" or a cover of a Zeppelin song, all in one concert. Here, they play one of my favourite songs by Elton John - and their version may just rival the original. Enjoy "Mona Lisas & Mad Hatters". Have a safe weekend.
