Summary: TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING SOMETIMES JUST AINT ENOUGH
Review: though they are a bit older,(dont know of anyone getting younger with each passing day), there like fine wine: better with age!this dvd leaves you raging for more. you are so mad when it does end. they do all the hits and so much more. was personally at this concert and i truly enjoyed the dvd more. they were better then in the late 70s when i saw them in my earlier years. they are just high energy belting out the tunes. if you at all like HEART you got to get this one.

Summary: Heart fans will be pleased
Review: To the previous reviewer who gave this DVD 1 star. Who are you trying to appeal to? People who want to buy this DVD are Heart fans. Not people who feel betrayed by individual "sell-outs" from the grunge scene. Look at the audience, middle age yuppies who are trying to recall the days when they still rocked out. Back in the early 80's The Clash was unmercilously flogged for "selling out" by appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone and having the gall to have two hit singles. Seattle grunge bands were lining up in droves to "sell out". And I blame grunge (along with record labels and fans) for destroying the diversity of "alternative" music that once was. Why trash a mainstream 70's rock group?Anyways, I saw this video on PBS like so many others and was impressed with the Wilson sisters' live performance. Sure, they don't deviate much from their studio recordings (except for a few) but its nice to see professional musicians with good expressive voices and harmony. I'm not a huge Heart fan except for their signature songs like Barracuda, Magic Man, and Crazy on You. But their acoustic reworking of Alone and These Dreams were good. Their covers of Elton John's Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters and Led Zeppelin's Black Dog and Battle of Evermore show they're fans as well by showing the respect those songs deserve. And songs that weren't as familiar to me were made accessible by their performance. So if you didn't buy this DVD just to see the "bass player" (so you can see how much he's betrayed you) Heart fans should be very satisfied. All in all one of the better live concert DVD's out there. Very enjoyable. The widescreen video is nice and needless to say much cleaner than broadcast TV. I'd knock off 1/2 star for sound because the DTS/DD is 5.0 not 5.1 The Digital surround sounds excellent but why not make it 5.1 while they were at it? That discrete punch from the subwoofer would have been nice.

Summary: Rock the house?
Review: Well it ain't no "Rock the house live!". My expectations were very high just before I loaded the disc in my dvd. Maybe a little too high. Not that there's anything wrong with "Alive in Seattle" - the sound is great, the band is great and the Wilson sisters are superb. But (and there is a "but") I expected a little more rock & roll. In other words... where the hell are songs like: "Fallen from Grace", "Shell shock", "Tall, Dark Handsome Stranger" and "Black on Black". Seems like the band totally forgot the impact a cd like "Brigade" had. I can fully understand that they might be tired of performing "All I wanna do is make love to you" and "Will you be there in the morning" - but there's a little too much of a mid-seventies-flower-child-trip going on here. Well maybe I'm too critical... after all this dvd is truly soooo much better than most others on the market. But Ann and Nancy... a little more power next time around please. (By the way, am lookin' forward to the upcoming cd).

Summary: Rock it down!!
Review: Well,lets make it simple.If you were ever a Heart fan, just buy this.
All the things you loved about Heart are still there.The great voices,the acoustic guitar playing,the songs,and the great rock spirit.They flat burn it down.And as far as the Zep covers - not to be believed!
The video production looks good. The DTS audio is mixed real hot.To my taste, the drums and bottom end are mixed in a little heavy,but hey it is a rock concert.The acoustic sets with the Wilson sister's voices are absolutely stunning.
Just get it!!

Summary: Why Does Inez Persist On Playing With 50 Year-Old PMSers????
Review: Where Mike Inez once, and not THAT long ago, mind you, played bass behind Jerry Cantrell's furiously searing, heat-seeking guitar shredding, and was a witness to Layne Staley's predominant vocal mastery-he now backs up two menopausal sisters (one fat, the other thin) in a boringly obsolete, throwback band to accursed 70's and early 80's hair metal???? WTF???? For those Heart zealots, Mike Inez is their shabby group's-where the backup members aren't even included as part of the band-bass player, but I'm wholly willing to bet my life that fierce Heart fanatics exclusively care only about Nancy and Ann. If this is the tragic case, you should stand to be educated about how Inez, and quite recently, was a 1/4 of the most superlative band that ever existed: Alice In Chains!!!! I'm writing this mainly because I'm both aggrieved and terrified that Mike Inez is SUCH a turning-his-back sell-out, not only against Alice In Chains (the official elite), but also against the masses who used to listen to Alice In Chains at the time immediately before the band's unfortunate hiatus, due to Layne Staley's tirelessly ongoing drug predicament. I suppose Inez's raging, objectionably easy willingness to join a "band"-really two sisters who monopolize so fiendishly, MSFT would look innocent next to them-that's unquestionably lower on the echelon scale than Alice In Chains is due to the curse that follows musicians around their whole lives. That is that musicians are decidedly never sure where their next meal OR paycheck is going to come from, much like some of the middle classes who already malpractice that habit of living paycheck to paycheck, especially ones like Mike Inez, who wasn't the Staley/Cantrell team-up, most significant, primary core of songwriters, or visionaries, in Alice In Chains. The trend of thought follows then that, how badly on food stamp emergency was Mike Inez to even get seduced with an angrily easy buck, even if it meant joining the equivalent of stigma, in the form of Heart???? How desperate was he to eat on a regularly daily basis???? On a further note, all you Heart kamikazes should know that you're also being exploited to part with your so-called hard-earned money in your untamable ferocity for Heart, and also for Image Ent., the bloodsucking company that misappropriates the profits from your ranks. In the Seattle area, likely the greater Washington area, PBS has been abusively showing to death this disdainfully mediocre Heart effort at a concert for the past 2 weeks already. They must have shown this chronically hardened disappointment 5 times already since the start of the month. Now last year already, upon Layne Staley's self-inflicted termination, I was miserably informed that Inez was traitorously touring with these dinosaurs, when they eluded to this in news reports. Nonetheless, I was still floored and rattled with trauma-inducing paralysis when I saw Mike Inez prancing and parading around in a cowboy hat, feather stuck in it, to Heart's unrelentingly, torturously, unskillfully simple one and two chord forays into forging what they think songs should sound like. Also sub-humanly disconcerting is the incrementally culpable expose of Ann Wilson as being a riskily monstrous libertine, one who believes people aren't responsible for their own actions and should just be repetitively let to do what they laxly want, with no heed to consequences. As proof of this, heed Ann Wilson's words from last year, upon Layne Staley's OD. I quote, "Layne wore his soul on the outside. He was luminous...too 'tender' for this world. We're all very sad to lose him, but happy that he's not sick anymore. He's 'free' on his own 'journey'." Be outraged at how purposely and unsympathetically light-headed those mindless comments sound. Free? On his own journey? To where, the nihilistic afterlife where everything immediately ceases existence???? Heinously misfortunately, yet another case of atrociously liberal quasi-celebs who rottenly endorse self-destructing drug use, untamable unbridledness and the condemnable inaction by those who had it on their conscience. Inez ties in with this unvirtuous mentality, in that it comes as no unexpectedness for him to commit high treason against truly legitimate music listeners-because he has the likes of Ann Wilson to morally "guide" him. NOT!!!! Heart have also unforgivably offended when they intentionally, callously struggle to misrepresent the Seattle sound as that coming from two gravely over-the-hill monopolizers, when the preeminence of the Seattle sound can be savagely exposed as that embodying only AIC, PJ, Soundgarden and Nirvana. Even today's Queens Of The Stone Age are superiorly better than Fart, er, I mean Heart. Nancy and Ann Wilson have already embezzled Mike the "where's my next meal coming from" Inez, a grunge participant, to their inferiorly debauched version of music, but where their next trespass even more contagiously stretches to is absolutely intolerable. Their insidious, undeserved naming of this product-"Heart, Alive in Seattle"-is so plagiarizing. Namely because it outrightly, absolutely shamelessly lifts the connotation of the word "alive" from the authentic group that has it forever trademarked, and that catapulted it to status, Pearl Jam. Their song "Alive" is now being preyed upon by two middle-aged baby boomers-for the scorchingly glaring ulterior motive of feeling oppressed to muscle in on Pearl Jam's territory, in the weakly nuanced hopes of their criminal forcing of a connection to Pearl Jam somehow helping their desperately dissipated careers, disrupted since the 80's. In progressive conclusion to my thought-provoking commentary that will have feebly dependent Heart radicals antagonistically distraught, I'd just like to state for the record that Nancy Wilson is a M.I.L.F., while Ann Wilson is definitely NOT a M.I.L.F, in the malignantly dire situation where I'd be pressured to choose!!!! In fact, while I have your loathsome attention, I'll just ruminate a little further on Nancy and Ann's M.I.L.F. status, if you'll entertain me-which you will, since you're traumatized to read this far!!!! Nancy still is attractive enough to justify a jumping of her bones while Ann's nauseatingly overweight, and therefore NOT allowable!!!!

Summary: Heart still rockin ......well!
Review: Wow what a great show.....some of the reviews are quite puzzling though such a mix. This DVD is great for the existing heart fans, but why all the comparisons about two newer band members,Mike Inez, & Jerry Cantrell. After watching crossroads show on 12/28 these band members work as a team & yes after watching jerry Cantrells kick [...] shredding of Led Zeppelins rock n roll there's no doubt of his awesome talent. To say that it's beneath either of them or a sell out to work with these heart sisters is going a bit extreme though. They have been around for a very long time & have proved themselves enough ,there equally as talented , just from a little different era . As for the pmsers what's that ? Just take this DVD for what it's about a Group of very talented musicians giving us a show. Like um or not I like um & I would recommend this DVD as Great.

Summary: Still "Crazy On You" after all these years.
Review: Wow! When I discovered Heart in 1976 I never thought I would be a fan almost 30 years later. The Wilsons still have incredible stage presence and the pipes to back it up. When I was growing up the music of The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Linda Ronstadt and Heart created the back-drop of my life. I'm glad to know these beautiful, talented women are still out there making great music. Its pure "Magic Man"!
