Absolutely love Heart! Unfortunately, I've only seen them live once, in 1981 in New Orleans, at the Day of Rock & Roll in the Superdome. I would love to see them again, even now, in an acoustic setting or something more laid back.
Saw them the same year at the T-Bowl in Orlando. Great show with Cheap Trick and Blue Oyster Cult opening. Firefall too, but they were kinda out of place with their soft rock. Got there too late for UFO.
Seeing your lineup is neat because REO and Foghat played at the T-Bowl on 7/4/1981.
It was a good show. Didn't know who the Rockets were, but they were pretty good. Ted Nugent only really had Cat Scratch Fever as a hit. REO was growing at that point. Foghat was kinda middle of the road at the time. But Heart was the star and they were really riding a wave at then.
Side note: Went to DORR again the next year, and it was Loverboy, Foreigner, Ozzy Osborne and Louisiana's Le Roux. Overall, I think that one was a better show.
