Rock The House Live!
''Rock the House Live!'' is a live album released by the American hard rock band Heart (band), Heart in 1991. It was recorded at The Centrum, Worcester, MA, USA on November 28, 1990. The band performed a set of 22 songs (including "The Way Back Machine" guitar solo by Howard Leese); but only 14 were used on the album, missing most of their recent successful singles "These Dreams", "Never (Heart song), Never", "Alone (Heart song), Alone", "What About Love", "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You", trying to demonstrate that Heart wasn't a band of ballad hits, but instead an arena rock staple. Instead of filling the album either with their early hard rock hits or their later pop ones, it is instead composed of mainly less familiar songs from recent albums (six from ''Brigade (album), Brigade'', one from ''Bad Animals'', two from ''Heart (Heart album), Heart'' and one from ''Passionworks''), and a new cover. The live version of "You're the Voice" was released as a single performing mode ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Heart (Heart Album)
''Heart'' is the eighth studio album by American rock band Heart, released on June 21, 1985, by Capitol Records.
