Heart’s Wilson Sisters Overcome Obstacles to Kickstart a Tour Fans Thought Might Not Happen: Concert Review

variety.com:

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Even if Heart were to be proven incapable of delivering the goods in 2025, and even if the infrequency factor of how little touring they’ve done in recent years weren’t something to keep in mind, this is a group whose live appearances ought to compel a mandatory pilgrimage.

Attention, as they say, must be paid — paid out of a lingering feminist appreciation for the Wilson sisters’ contribution to changing the landscape back in the stone-age 1970s… or out of the undying crush felt by most of the male and part of the female populations of a certain age… or just out of deference to one of the great rock song catalogs from that original era.

Or, to paraphrase Bono: Sarah Palin stole “Barracuda,” and we still should be stealing it back by continuing to acknowledge how radical that material was at the time, and how utterly effective it still is in sending an electric charge through your gut today.

Headlining a show Monday night at L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena, the second city and third date on the group’s national arena tour, Heart had overcome some serious odds and sequential setbacks in even being there for a commemoration or celebration to take place together.
