It was hilarious how Arnel kept referring to Rockford as Chicago.
Highlights:
Wheel in the Sky - The boys played a longer version of their already extended version. It was the hardest rock I've ever heard Journey play, comparable to Rush.
Faithfully - An outstanding rendition of 'Faithfully', superb vocals.
Dead Or Alive - Not a song you hear very often, and Arnel nailed it
Only the Young - I've never heard an audience sing along to that song like they did in Rockford.
Alone - Ann Wilson delivered a goose bump raising vocal performace, the roar from the crowd was deafening
Barracuda - Wicked opener from Heart! It got the arena rocking!
Crazy on You - Powerful and arena pumping closer to Heart's set! Gotta love the pig-tailed keyboard player! She rocks!
I'm also in awe of how Nancy looks for her age. I saw a shot of her belly and she still has nice smooth skin without the pooch that most women that age have.
I'm going to see Heart on the 22nd of next month. I will be in one of the first two rows. I only wish Journey was there for this one, but it looks like it's an evening with Heart, which could spell a longer set.
