Let it Go has been played one time out of 4 dates so far.

I understand Lep keeping the set the same since they're touring in support of the live album from last tour. But i'm guessing they'll switch something up at some point once they realize that Mirrorball isn't gonna go platinum.

Also, Undefeated as the opener still doesn't work for me. The song doesn't have that "pop" you need for a opening song. Maybe live it's different but the studio version is very thin sounding.

The only regular missing from Hearts set is 'Straight On'. Other than that it looks like they're making the best of the short time they have on stage.

What time did the bands all go on? Curious, cuz I'll be seeing the show Saturday, and won't be able to go inside til 8:30ish, and I'm hoping to catch the end of Heart's set.

HEART!!!! the true talent on this tour IMO. Wilson sisters never stop rocking.

I liked it as the opener. I would much rather hear Rock Rock though. I also liked the long version of Rocket, it was pretty awesome.

I agree Heart rocks and Nancy Wilson is no doubt the most talented musician on this tour. But once you get past the big hit singles Def Leppard is a very good band as well. They've got good song depth on most of their albums.

My ticket says 730. Is their someone on before Heart? As far as i'm conserned both Heart and Lep should get 90 mins each.

It's not a bad tune. Maybe live it sounds thicker and louder but the production on the studio version is not very good. I would prefer Rock Rock, LIT or Stagefrieght as the opener. I still think they'll change it though. I remember on the Slang tour they started the shows with Gift Of Flesh but about a month later they changed the opener to Rock Rock. The reason was the band said GOF wasn't getting a reaction from the crowd as the starting song. I see Undefeated going the same route. It'll just get moved to like fourth or something and LGR will open the show.

They have an opening guy before Heart. Evan Watson, he will only play like 20 min.

[Magson13]

Sweet, I'll be able to see the last few Heart songs then
