CENTRAL CITY - It has been an “Auld Lang Syne” (Long Time Since) the band Heart’s debut album Dreamboat Annie was released in September of 1975. Featuring sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, the song “Crazy on You” from that record opens with a captivating acoustic guitar solo by Nancy that segues into hard rock driven by Ann’s powerful vocals. It would become their signature song.

Heart numbers were just some of the musical offerings by Denver-based tribute band Dreamboat Annie on New Year’s Eve at Grand Z Casino’s Mile High Room. Billed as the Journey to the Heart of Zeppelin and Lady Legends Show, their playlist is long and varied as the title might suggest.

Aretha Franklin hit the top of the charts with “Respect” in 1967. Almost 60 years later the band Dreamboat Annie covered it again at Grand Z with enough “sock it to me” to satisfy everyone.

They took us “rollin’ on a river” with Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Proud Mary.” Gitchie, gitchie, ya-ya, da da was the refrain from Patti LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade.”

“Hey-hey, mama, said the way you move / Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove….” Lead guitarist Robb Warnke smoked on Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” and “Rock and Roll” from Zeppelin IV.

With her long jet-black hair, booming vocals, and confident stage presence, Sonya Leigh made for a convincing Ann Wilson. “Crazy on You,” “Magic Man,” and “Barracuda” were among the evening’s many highlights.

Progressing through time, they performed Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music (White Boy),” “You Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC, and Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell.” A full two decades of rock ‘n’ roll culminated with Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine.”

When the clock struck midnight, following tradition, lovers kissed and champagne flowed, signaling the start of a new year.
