Blu-ray Reviews of Heart: Alive in Seattle [Blu-ray]

Blu-ray Review: Heart: Alive in Seattle is a fun, high energy show
Summary: 5 Stars

Heart combines elements of classic rock, alternative, and perhaps a touch of hard-hitting metal, from a feminine perspective. With surprisingly fine covers of the classic Led Zepplin hits "Battle of Evermore" and "Black Dog", this long-time Led Zeppelin fan was more than pleased not only with the genuine effort Heart puts into these songs, but also the respect and esteem with which they seem to hold these songs. Although I am not a fan of Elton John per se, I have always enjoyed "Mona Lisas and Madhatters" and the ladies cover it admirably as well, although none of these would find their way into my iTunes rotation over the originals. Despite several covers, the only material with which I was familiar on this disc, I cannot help but be somewhat impressed by Heart. No, they'll never be my favorite band, but their uptempo beat and high energy level, not to mention the crisp, lovely vocals of lead singer Ann and the impressive guitar playing of sister Nancy makes Heart: Alive in Seattle a fantastic disc for established fans and, at the price, worth buying for newcomers to the band.

Blu-ray in a 1080i high definition presentation and framed at a 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The show looks just fine for a presentation of this nature. From the glossy, glittery drum set as seen in the background to the finer nuances of the stitching in Ann's shirt, fine detail, both up front and in the rear of the stage, stands out as moderately strong. The sound quality is excellent, and is yet another concert from Image Entertainment that puts the viewer right in the midst of the show. Ann Wilson's vocals are sharp, crisp, and natural; her highs never falter, and from the first song of the show, Crazy On You, she shows off her impressive range and ability to perform even the most difficult-to-hit notes. Likewise, musical accompaniment, from the lightest strums of an acoustic guitar to the high powered notes flowing from a fast-paced electric guitar riff, emanate from the sound system with a palpable magic that often leaves you breathless and with the feeling that the performance is live in you media room, not pre-recorded on a disc.
At the price Amazon is asking for the disc, the program is too good to pass up if you have any interest in the band.
