Heart: 1977-07-17 Los Angeles, CA (FLAC_SB/Pre-FM_1 CD)

This is an excellent sounding Heart show from 1977 that was aired over a year later for the BBC Rock Hour radio program.  This is not an off-air recording of the show.  It is a copy of the master reel (pre-FM) the show was recorded to.  It even has two Toyota 1978 car commercials in it.  The audio mix is excellent (unaltered) and the bass and high end instruments, as well as the vocals, are superb!

I've always liked Heart.  Even seeing them nowadays, they rock and sound great.  The Wilson sisters vocally sound and sing just like they did when they started in the 1970's.  And they have always been hige Led Zeppelin fans too.  I don't think I have a single concert of them where they don't do at least one Led Zeppelin cover tune (and many times two or three of them).

This is such a superb stereo recording and could/should be officially released.  I'm sure the show's broadcast was cut short as they usually are and doesn't include every song they played that day in 1977.  But they BBC Rock Hour recording definitely picked great songs to include in their broadcast.

I hope you enjoy the show...
