Brian J?

Actually they ALWAYS do Straight On. They haven't done Little Queen basically since the 70s, but they have done Kick It Out since 03. They did Bebe Le Strange on the American 04 tour, and I believe at some shows last year maybe.

Basically since 2002 Heart has been nothing but the 70s material only, and the new Jupiters Darling album, plus Alone/These Dreams, and Wild Child in 02/03. They also do too many damn covers of Beatles, Elton John, and Zepplin. As much as I love those 3 acts 1, maybe 2 covers are ok, but in some shows they have done up to 4 I believe.

So in other words yes im a HUGE 80s Heart fan, and they have totally ignored that era for the most part for years. Its funny this is the main feel on the Heart board. Since Ann & Nancy dislike so much of their 80s material, lots of the fans over there also think its the cool thing to do and adapt the same attitude ass Ann & Nancy in regards to the 80s material. One of the main reasons they do this too is bc the 2 people(who are very nice people) that run the board work directly with Ann & Nancy on a regular/daily basis. They do lots of VERY NICE things for the fans, meet and greets, lots of free giveaways, etc. But basically theres lots of ass kissing over there. So thats one main reason why people dont bitch about the set list as much as they use to years ago on the old Heart board. Ive been one of the ones nicely asking for years and years and years to hear What About Love again, Who Will You Run Too, Never--gee all top 5 hits. Heart sold more records in the 80s and had more hits. If it wasnt for the corporate game they played in the 80s, Heart today would probably be opening for Kansas at some small bar.

I am also looking forward to reading the setlist come March. If its pretty much the same group of songs they have been doing the past 4 years im not going to any of the shows. Well unless the play close to my house.

Well, it's a special show for vh1 decades rock live with alice in chains, gretchen wilson, and dave navarro so the setlist should be interesting and I requested those songs too but I added some other songs to the request. What's your favorite song and do you think that they will play JD material and what songs...how about this setlist...accurate?
Bebe Le Strange
Kick It Out
Straight On
Oldest Story In The World
Perfect Goodbye
Love Alive
Battle of Evermore
Alone
These Dreams
Dog and Butterfly
Make Me
Magic Man
Crazy On You
Barracuda
Black Dog
Rock and Roll
Dreamboat Annie
*Vainglorious
Do they play more songs?

I, too, am a huge 80s Heart fan, but since I also love the 70s stuff, I wont complain toooooo hard. One thing that ruined the show I saw, was three women who spent the whole show yelling....Ann! Ann! Sing Alone.....Sing ALONE!!!....and then left right after they did! Do not go and see a band when you only know one freakin song! OK, just had to get that off my chest.

I wonder if they'll come back to the UK....gotta hope.

OK. Just checking.

I love Heart. I saw them in New Orleans a few years back and was pissed that they only sang I think 3 songs that I even knew and I own probably all of the Heart albums. Every other song was, "we want to do this new song" and I was like ok, give it a shot, but every time I was like, damn, this sucks. They did do Barracuda, Alone and something else I can't remember what, but I remember thinking I probably wouldn't see them live again. Now, take that as you may, but I think it applies to a lot of people who gripe about Stevie's setlist. I'd say I'm a little more than a casual fan of Heart, but the setlist full of "rare or new" stuff totally turned me off of them live.

but it may be either just Jerry Cantrell on vocals or possibly Pat Lachman (Of Damageplan/Halford fame...Pat was the singer onstage with Damageplan when Dimebag was shot/murdered). I feel Pat could be a great replacement for the late Layne Staley in AIC...Has the voice for the job (ie-Damageplan's "Soul Bleed" is proof enuff for me.)

Also VH1 Classic has started to advertise their (Heart with special guests AIC & Gretchen Upchuck live via satellite) show for the NJ show (Which will be taped and broadcast as had the Bonnie Raitt show from NJ).

LOL. Heart's new stuff has been very hit or miss for years. Like Stevie, their best songwriting years are far behind them, though they crack one or two out of the park with each album. Most Stevie fans would react exactly like you if she did the same with new material. Thus the bathroom and beer exodus during all the new songs on her and Mac's recent tours. The fans are mostly nostalgia fans, and the new songs aren't as great as the old ones. It happens.

Stevie's problem isn't comparable to what you described. Stevie doesn't play a "greatest hits" set or a "rare and new" set. She plays a totally bizarre set filled with a few hits and bunch of non-hits that she recycles tour after tour, along with some boring covers. It's the latter that bothers me. I couldn't care less if she played Dreams, GDW, Rhiannon, etc. if she would stop playing Enchanted, HAEWAFY, Outside the Rain, I Need To Know (okay, she finally stopped playing that one).

Hmmm. Even if I don't know a certain Heart song, I have trouble believing that anything Anne is singing could be that disappointing.

Since she's practically the best singer in the world, and all...

while I don't agree with all of this, I see what you're saying
