In 1978, Heart was riding high on the success of their album "Little Queen," which had been released just a few months earlier. This album featured the hit single "Barracuda," a track that showcased the band's powerful sound and Ann Wilson's stunning vocals. The live recording from October 16, 1978, at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh captures the band in their prime, brimming with energy and charisma.
