Ahead of the 50th anniversary of HEART formation in 2023, Ann Wilson in 2022 resumed solo activities. A superb video that allows you to witness her latest stage is now available.
This work was filmed at the “August 6, 2022 Wacken Open Air Performance”. It is the multi-camera pro shot. Anne, who announced her solo album “FIERCE BLISS” in 2021, resumed her live activities that had been suspended due to her new corona wreck. She is still touring. In order to know her current situation, let’s first look at the schedule that has been announced so far.

This is Ann Wilson in 2021/2022. With the release of her “FIERCE BLISS”, she started performing live, and has been touring the United States at her own pace, doing a few performances a month. Among them, her only overseas performance was Wacken appearance. Speaking of Wacken, it has grown into a festival that symbolizes Germany, a rock powerhouse. The pattern was shot with a professional shot, and the best images of various bands were delivered. This work is a DVD version of the Ann Wilson edition from the best master. Even now, only “Barracuda” can be seen on a certain video site, but this work is also its complete version.
And the quality is completely official grade. It’s the latest delivery, so I feel like it’s natural, but among them, Wacken has a reputation for high quality. The angle that captures each member becomes a moment-to-moment image, and the camera work that licks the venue three-dimensionally with the cut split that is synchronized with the song is also very dynamic. Currently in Europe, summer festivals are in full swing and a large number of unique professional shots are being produced, but Wacken has become a model for other festivals.
The latest stage with an increasing number of original songs is depicted with such perfect quality. Let’s organize the set here.
●Original (7 songs)
・Heart: Magic Man/Even It Up/Crazy On You/Barracuda
・Solo: Greed/Black Wing/Rain Of Hell
●Cover (4 songs)
・LED ZEPPELIN: Immigrant Song/Black Dog
・Others: Rooster (ALICE IN CHAINS) / Love, Reign O’er Me (THE WHO)
… and it looks like this. The last time I reported on Anne’s show was the pro shot “ILLINOIS 2018 (Uxbridge 1336)”, but only “Crazy On You” overlaps with that masterpiece. It has changed across the corona misfortune. In addition, most of the songs used to be covers, but this time, the number of originals has increased significantly. Not only the representative songs of HEART, but also the “FIERCE BLISS” repertoire and the new song “Rain Of Hell” are being shown.
Ann reportedly had a conflict with Nancy over HEART’s activity policy. I still don’t know what will happen next year’s 50th anniversary, but it’s a piece that you can enjoy the solo stage that accelerates towards it. That is a complete official professional shot that you want to collect side by side with “FIERCE BLISS”. Please enjoy it to the fullest.
★ Multi-camera pro shot of “August 6, 2022 Wacken Open Air Performance”. The quality of the DVD made from the best master of the latest distribution is completely official grade, and the camera work that licks the venue three-dimensionally with the cut split synchronized with the song is also very dynamic. You can enjoy not only HEART’s famous songs, LED ZEPPELIN, and THE WHO covers, but also the latest stage that will be shown to the precious new song “Rain Of Hell”.
