Heart Live Performance of Bad Animals at Portland Coliseum 1987
In the vibrant atmosphere of the Portland Coliseum on September 30, 1987, Heart was riding high on the success of their album 'Bad Animals,' which had just been released earlier that year. This live performance captures the band at a pivotal moment, showcasing their hard rock prowess and heartfelt ballads. Notably, 'Bad Animals' marked a significant comeback for Heart, with hits like 'Alone' and 'Who Will You Run To?' gaining massive airplay. This recording highlights the duo of Ann and Nancy Wilson, who not only pushed the boundaries of rock but also broke new ground for women in music. Their synergy on stage is electric, bringing a powerful energy to classics that resonate even today. The Portland show is a testament to Heart's evolution, transitioning from their earlier '70s hits to mainstream popularity in the '80s, reminiscent of a time when rock was vibrant and unabashedly expressive.
