Brett reporting from NYC, September 1st 2010:
It was amazing…The ladies first came out and did like a ten minute interview with some radio host (I want to say his name was Jim Kerr or something) but they talked about the new album and the same old questions each interviewer asks Ann and Nancy like about being women in a male dominated industry, their fixation on the beatles, and so on. The interviewer made sure to speak of how amazingly red velvet car is doing in the market. He spoke of its immediate rise to number one on amazon and said that when he was going through radio stats early in the morning (he works on 104.3 radio) that “Hey You” is being predicted to be Heart’s 21st top twenty single.
(Amazing and well deserved news, might I add.) On a side note, Ann was wearing these red kick ass cowboy boots. The interview concluded and the girls were taken off stage for about five minutes and returned with a six song set starting with barracuda. I have been dying to finally see Ann and Nancy with straight acoustics and they did not disappoint. Nancy and Craig were spot on, transforming some of the hardest heart rockers into numbers that suited acoustic guitars well. The rest of the set was as follows: Barracuda, Dog and Butterfly, Hey You, WTF (acoustic and out of this world), Crazy on You, and Dreamboat Annie. A fun little
thing that they did was at the end of Dreamboat Annie where there is normally a flute playing, Nancy sang it in a joking way and a majority of the crowd sang it right along with her. This is my tenth heart show and even though it was only six songs, this ranks among my favorite experiences. I am so thankful I was chosen to attend this event. On the way out the door, everyone who attended was handed a poster to remember this magical night.
Also in other great news, the interviewer had a VINYL COPY of Red Velvet Car!!!!! Ann and Nancy hadn’t even seen it yet…I can not wait to get my hands on that. This show was also filmed with 6 cameras and will be broadcasted on clear channel tv, along with about one hundred radio stations.

Red Velvet on vinyl!!! Woo Hoo!!
Anybody seen this vinyl on the internet?
I’m gonna try to find it this weekend. I’ll sure post about it! It might be an indiestore thing like the WTF 10″
I’ve got the vinyl single of WTF so it would be cool if I could buy the whole album on vinyl too. (I haven’t bought the cd yet because I’am waiting for the LP)
