I wasn’t planning to see Heart at Britt Festivals this past Tuesday night, but a friend called me up during the afternoon with a free ticket so I ended up at Britt anyway. As a frequent listener of rock radio in the late 1970s and early 1980s things sounded quite familiar even though I’ve never owned a Heart album.

I only took a couple photos before the volunteer Britt nazi came over and told me I would be kicked out if she saw my camera again. She didn’t seem to care that everyone around me were taking photos with their cell phone. This was the first time I’ve been asked not to take pictures at a show since Loudpark 2009 in Japan and the first time in the USA since I saw King Diamond at The Stone in San Francisco in 1986 or 1987.

Tonight I will have no problem taking photos as I have a photo pass to see Death Angel, Testament, and Anthrax in Sacramento at Ace of Spades.
