North American syndicated rock radio show and website, InTheStudio With Redbeard: The Stories Behind History’s Greatest Rock Bands, invites you to a command performance of Live At The Royal Albert Hall with a special look at Heart’s legacy as a live touring band.

Curiously, Heart’s hall of fame Cinderella story from their 1976 debut onward was a North American phenomenon until the latter 80s decade: 1987‘s Bad Animals was their first Top Ten seller in the UK, and the follow-up Brigade in 1990 was their best showing at #3. So it is not hard to imagine that headlining the regal setting of London’s Royal Albert Hall, with its long rich history of hosting the world’s greatest entertainers, would be high on Heart’s bucket list, crossing that off in spectacular fashion this past summer backed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Heart’s Ann and Nancy Wilson share memories of their career on tour with In The Studio host Redbeard and the lengthy body of work that has made them one of America’s finest musical exports.

“We worked super, super hard in the early years... We rented a car and went to every radio station in the country (US) and Canada. And we did the never-ending 275 show tour the first year that Dreamboat Annie came out... We were all kind of shellshocked by the end of the first big blitz, but we had a career going.” - Nancy Wilson

“People were hungry for what we gave them. We were almost the first of a kind... They loved our particular way with words... They liked the fact that they could go rock out at a Heart show and the guys got what they wanted, and then we came down and did beautiful sentimental songs so the women got to feel their hearts swell. And everybody got everything.” - Ann Wilson
