    "Order to shoot" seems like that would be "Fire" but the group doesn't seem to be The Pointer Sisters.

    Seems like the song must be something like 'Eat My Brain', but I come up empty on the band so far.

    My research shows a band I haven't heard of but even that may not match the clue.

    Yeah, no clue here either.
    The only bands I associate with Canada are Rush and Guess Who :D

    I am a huge fan of this guy and his band, and he is the finest live act I have ever seen.

    Great song.

    Heart - Dreamboat Annie
  • deckerp
    deckerp Posts: 4,511 Member
    Yup. Any Canadian ties for Heart?
  • BillyC96
    BillyC96 Posts: 7,560 Member
    edited February 2015
    Yes. Apparently one or more members of Heart were Vietnam war draft dodgers, so the band settled and recorded in Vancouver with a small record label called Mushroom Records. Their first LP was released on Mushroom. They had some local success with the album so wanted to have wider distribution than Mushroom could offer on their second release. Lawsuits ensued. I believe some sort of comprimise was reached. Their second album (Dreamboat Annie) was co-released by Capital and Mushroom. Dreamboat Annie was not their first LP. Wikipedia is wrong. I had their first album on Mushroom Records. I suspect my buddy that inherited my collection when I moved to England still has it, unless the vultures that picked apart my collection for profit recognised it as an item of possible future value got it first.
