Heart

Saw Heart last night. This is the third time we've seen them in the past few years, and it was just as good as the other times. They can all still do it; Ann Wilson's voice doesn't seemed to have diminished even a bit (though she's 62 this year), and Nancy Wilson's voice and guitar playing are still great. The rest of the band is good, too.

The set was a mix of all their old popular songs, with a half-dozen newer things that few people knew. The new stuff isn't bad, though it doesn't really grab me. And everyone knows that everyone's there to hear "Barracuda" anyway.

Tailgated in the parking lot with beers and fried chicken. It was an outdoor show, and it got a little chilly towards the end of the night. Refreshing. Ah, fall...

Highlight: They closed with "Magic Man". When Ann sang "Try, Try, Try to understand...", three identical little puffs of breath - one for each "Try" - appeared next to her, drifted to the side, then disappeared. I actually saw the words, a little surreal.
