Dreamboat Annie Live is a live DVD released by the American rock band Heart in October 2007, which features Heart performing all ten songs from their 1975 debut album, Dreamboat Annie, plus five extra performances. The concert was also broadcast on DirecTV. The concert soundtrack was released as a live album, with the UK edition containing two bonus live tracks.

The DVD is the first in the Shout! Factory's "Legendary Albums Live" series.[3]

Reviews

The album was favourably reviewed. At AllMusic, Andrew Leahey said "For those fans who prefer Heart's early material to the slick, hairsprayed singles of the '80s, Dreamboat Annie Live is a reminder that this band did – and, indeed, does – rock the boat."[1]
