Ann Wilson at Bethel Woods on May 29 is an evening with one of the great voices in rock history. Wilson’s range — from the controlled power of “Barracuda” to the emotional precision of “Alone” — defined Heart as one of the few bands of the ’70s and ’80s fronted by a woman who was never the marketing hook. She was the voice, the instrument, the reason the band mattered. That has not changed.
Bethel Woods in the Hudson Valley, built on the grounds of the 1969 Woodstock festival, provides a setting with the weight and beauty that Wilson’s solo performances deserve. The venue’s spring programming typically features the kind of artist whose career has earned the reverence of the setting, and Wilson qualifies by any measure.
