(photos) FUN seeing HEART in concert @ LA FAIR 9/26/14 + Biblical INspiration

THAT was FUN seeing Heart in concert at the LA FAIR...I actually did not realize how many great songs they have in their long history of making music...almost every song I recognized..and a few I didn't realize were by Heart! They put a LOT of heart & soul in their music last night...showed a lot of love for us, the audience...and the audience showed it back...I've never seen LA Fair concert almost completely filled..didn't know there were so many Heart fans (plus Friday night)....

They began their set with "Barracuda" (wiki)...the two Wilson sisters (Ann in black, Nancy the guitarist in red) taking the stage along with guitarist Craig Bartock, and the rest of the crew (see bottom for all the names) ....the crowd sang along....
"Oooooh Barracuda!" (old video) ...

...then they played "Heartless" (wiki)
another great song
see old concert video

...and then "What about Love?!" (wiki)

see old concert

...and the list goes on...

next I think they played

"Magic Man"(wiki)

see old concert clip

later they played
"Straight on 4 U"(wiki)
see old concert clip

they also played a song called "Heaven" which Ann said is a song they have never put on any album but only play it live in concert...throughout the concert the two sisters periodically switched to different instruments...including a flute and maybe an electric mandolin or something like it, among others ...maybe even a harpsichord?

they also played their great hit,
& one of my favorites,
"These Dreams" (wiki)
see old concert clip

and of course "Alone" (wiki)
(ie "How do I get u alone...."
see old concert clip

...and "Crazy on You" really got the crowd rocking and rolling as the sister in red started with a guitar solo

...then they left the stage...but the crowd kept roaring..the house lights didn't come on so we knew there would be an encore and we waited and kept cheering..and they returned !
