Heart Greatest Hits: Live
Released in 1980, just as Heart’s first wave of popularity was fading, Heart Greatest Hits: Live contains a side of the group’s most popular songs — such as “Barracuda,” “Crazy on You,” and “Dreamboat Annie” — balanced by a side’s worth of live tracks, including versions of “Magic Man,” “Dog Butterfly,” and “Bebe Le Strange,” plus a medley of the Beatles’ “I’m Down/Long Tall Sally” and Zeppelin’s “Rock Roll.” Though a straight greatest hits album would have been preferable, this is still a good overview, showcasing Heart’s hooks and live power. Most casual fans should turn to one of their latter-day CD hits collections, but this does have most of their ’70s hits, in one form or another, and it’s worthwhile for that.

Songs such as “Crazy on You” and “Dreamboat Annie” are the staples to this album. Other songs that are good ear candy include “Magic Man” and “Barracuda”. Other than these songs there really isn’t much here. I think Heart may have released this “Greatest Hits” album a little soon. An incidation of this is the fact that the final three songs on the album are not even original Heart songs… they are covers of songs that most likely wouldn’t make that bands Greatest Hits album…
