Heart rocked the Puyallup Fair

CONCERT RECAP >>>

The Puyallup Fair Grandstand was packed by the time sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson took the stage with their latest incarnation of Heart. After teasing us with the opening of "In The Light" by Led Zeppelin, the pounding backbeat of "Cook With Fire" (first song on their Dog & Butterfly album) kicked off the 17-song set. From that first song through most of the show the crowd was on its feet, taking their seats during a couple new songs off their Red Velvet Car album. Sandwiched between the new songs was "Even It Up," which returned the crowd to its feet, especially when the band added snippets of "Gimme Shelter" by the Rolling Stones. And those who came to hear the early Heart hits weren't disappointed, especially the rocking set of "Magic Man," "Crazy On You" and "Barracuda" right before the encore.

The Wilson sisters' obsession with Led Zeppelin emerged again last night when they opened the encore with "What Is and What Should Never Be" off Zep's second album.

The night ended with Nancy jumping around as Ann belted a thunderous version of The Who's "Love Reign O'er Me."

Overall, the band was in top form. Ann wilson can still sing the hell out of their songs.
