Frontiers Records is pleased to announce the release of Heart's concert
"FANATIC LIVE FROM CAESARS COLOSSEUM" on CD+DVD Deluxe Edition, DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on Monday 24th February 2014.
The history behind this recording began in 2012, which was a year of
major achievements for Heart. In addition to Ann and Nancy’s star on
the Hollywood Walk of Fame and news that they had been inducted into
the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the year was filed with musical
accomplishments.
Heart - Nancy Wilson (guitar) and Ann Wilson (lead vocals)
Wilson combed their archives for a definitive four CD box set
release in the early part of the year, and in the fall of 2012,
released their "Fanatic" album to strong critical and fan acclaim. To
support the release of "Fanatic," the band embarked upon a major North
American headline tour, which ended with a magnificent performance at
Caesars Colosseum in Windsor, Ontario, which was filmed by AXS-TV.
Heart will be performing shows in North America in February, March and
April, 2014 as a continuation of the "Fanatic" tour.
"Heart is one of my personal favorites," said Frontiers Records
President Serafino Perugino, "and it is more than a pleasure to have
them joining the Frontiers family. We look forward to a great
partnership together!"
Heart has long been associated with Canada having broken out in
Vancouver in 1976 with the release of "Dreamboat Annie" and their
return to Canada for the "Fanatic" tour was greeted with the kind of
enthusiasm the Canadians save for their own. Ben Mink, who produced
the "Fanatic" CD and is another great musical Canadian musician, joined
Ann and Nancy on stage at Windsor, playing fiddle and leading a string
ensemble.
In addition to songs from the "Fanatic" albu
m
which were performed for the first time for the television viewing
audience, "Fanatic Live From Caesars Colosseum" also showcases many of
Heart's classic hits including "Barracuda," "Crazy on You," "These
Dreams," "Alone," "What About Love," and many more.
