H.E.A.T - Live at Sweden Rock Festival (album)


Words by Adrian Ball
Live albums take on a status of their own and give the opportunity for the band to capture the magic and excitement of a full rock show.  Iconic live albums stand the test of time, such as The Who Live at Leeds and the magnificent Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous building the reputation of bands to a higher place.
H.E.A.T live at the Sweden rock festival is a great album that manages to capture the raw energy and showmanship of a band on home turf, shining bright like the stars they are.
A mood setting intro transports you to centre stage before hitting you straight between the eyes with Bastard of Society, setting the pace high and hard immediately.  Plenty of the hits to rock you throughout the show, ensuring the performance is translated to home listening. Mannequin Show is a track the band can be truly proud of and the live version really is something to behold; heavier and more engaging. 
Singer Erik Gronwell engages with the crowd, building up the tempo to fever pitch level with vocals that never falter.  The band is absolutely on point and obviously having fun guiding a home crowd through the many hits they are proud to have created.
An outstanding album that would easily sit alongside the many great live albums produced over the years.
