Very well delivered Lady. I've been listening to Heart since 1977-78 and still listening to Heart. Crazy on you and Barracuda are my favorites and Alone.

Thanks for that. I LOVE this band and never heard this before.

Thanks for doing these. Very cool and very interesting. I saw Heart in 1978 in a small auditorium in La Crosse Wi. They rocked that place out and Ann's vocals shook the building. Been a fan ever since.

I don’t understand why the union lawyers don’t get together and draw up a standard fair contract; one that is fair to musicians, so no musician is allowed to be ripped off. If they all stuck together and agreed to not sign a lesser contract, they would force the business to give them a decent start and more control over their future.
Rick Beato did a video explaining how the producer makes money from every single step of making a recording. It was just sickening.

So FINALLY we know who let the dogs out!

[@halohat2286]

Wow, Mushroom records sound like real sleezz bags. Glad they went out of business while Heart became legends.
