Decades Rock Live Featuring: Heart
 

I don't know if anyone here has seen Decade's Rock Live on VH1 Classic, but it's one of, if not the, best concert series I've ever seen. They do tribute shows to famous musicians where the musican(s) get to invite their own guests, choose what songs will be done, and then VH1 puts the show together on a 2 million doller budget with full a 12 camera HD setup and 5,1 audio with 5000 people in attendance at the Taj-Ma Hall. They filmed a tribute to Heart (preceeded by Bonnie Raitt and Cyndi Lauper both of which were amazing), which will air on May 5th in 90 minute form (they usually cut it down to an hour). Do me a favor and watch it as I'll be somewhere in the middle of Nevada at the time. I've seen about 5 minutes worth of clips from a press release I managed to get my hands on, and it fu*king rules.

They're going to do duets with Alice in Chains. Watch this concert, and the other two while you're at it. They repeat them weekly. If you don't get it, they're making uncut DVD's this Christmas so no problem.

I'm not a big fan of Heart (I kinda liked "Ring them Bells" for extremely obvious, Layne Staley related reasons :D ). Since AiC played at the show I'm going to check it out though, I've already listened to the recordings of "Them Bones" and "Would?" with Phil Anselmo.

For all who care, the performance of AiC's "Would?" with Phil Anselmo has been posted on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Niia9PaFsxA
There has been some debating about wether or not Phil's vocals were overdubbed since he sounds much much better on the video than in the bootleg mp3 of the show.

I wonder what they're saying on the Decade's Rock forums....

I didn't see the show because I'm in LA, but they play them enough. I'll see it when I get home. Was it good?

I wouldn't know, the video I've posted is all I've seen so far (and it was pretty good).
