That’s why I stopped it, because I felt like it was beginning to disintegrate into commercialism. It was chasing the buck. Maybe that’s idealistic, but that’s what I had to do.”

Based on the past quote above, it looks like Ann Wilson is eating her words. First, Heart reunited in December and the setlist was ALL hits - they even delved into most of the cheese heavy 80's catalog.

Next, Heart is on a summer tour opening for Def Leppard on a triple bill with Journey (featuring vocals by Arnel Pineda).

This is certainly "chasing the buck".

What would you do? I haven't looked into their net worth(s), but would you rather play the hits for 20k people, or album cuts for 2k people? Egos are a real thing, even when you're 75.

I'm so relieved to hear that Arnel is still there. Journey has been very cryptic for the past couple of years. I think Neil(Neal) Schon has become a dick? I love Arnel. His story is truly a Cinderella story. He seems very genuine and appreciative.

So much for the "stale" setlists.

If you want to sell all the seats, you've got to play the songs that casual listeners know.
