Above is an official LIVE video from the 2024 tour. The song is Love Alive Little Queen. The band sounds tight and heavy :)
Below is the audience recording. When I see a Heart show live in a venue I always leave so impressed by the sound and vocals. And then I watch some footage at home and I’m like… wait that can’t be right?! It sounds so distorted! I’m not saying the video above has not been polished (that would be a surprise), but the difference is noticeable and in my opinion says a lot about the general quality of audience recordings.
I liked BOTH videos. The Official video had great audio quality. But I don’t have high expectations for cell phones, so that didn’t bother me. The cell phone video was a better visual experience. It felt more like BEING at the concert. Ann and Nancy were constantly on screen. There was no bouncing around to show the other musicians, like the Official video. The other musicians are just hired guns. Fans want to see the main attraction.
What stood out most to me was the very shiny frets on Nancy’s Telecaster. She must have had a re-fret done, or at least had a re-dress done to them. I always hold my breath, when major work is done to a guitar.
