I received complimentary concert tickets for the Joan Jett and the Blackhearts concert.
However, as always, the thoughts and views expressed in this article are my own.
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Rocked The Fred in Peachtree City
I've had the pleasure of seeing Joan Jett and the Blackhearts in concert twice – – once at Chastain Park in Atlanta in 2010 and just recently at “The Fred” in Peachtree City. I have idolized the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame Inductee since I first heard her amazing voice belt out “Cherry Bomb” in the 70's when she was with The Runaways.
As I have detailed in the “My Story” section of Simply Amazing Living, my childhood was not an ideal one. Being physically abused while with my birth mother and then being adopted into a family where I was sexually abused, I looked to music as an outlet for enduring my childhood terrors.
Joan Jett and her rebellious songs empowered me and gave me strength from the minute I first heard her voice and saw in her music videos how badass she is. Her entire persona exudes feminine power and strength. I hope she knows how many girls and women she has empowered and given strength through her music.
Joan Jett became a female pioneer in the male-dominated rock industry in the 80's when she started her independent record label – Blackheart Records – after being turned down by 23 record companies. She was the first female artist to own and have complete control over an independent record company.
Joan Jett secured her rock goddess status through eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles including “Bad Reputation,” “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll,” and “Crimson and Clover.”
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Sell Out “The Fred”
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts are still rocking and selling out concert venues around the world. Their recent stop at Peachtree City's “The Fred” did not disappoint. Joan Jett hasn't slowed down at all and still has her rock moves and commanding vocals that keep audiences on their feet and singing along to all of her hits.
I was slightly disappointed that she didn't sing one of my favorite songs – “ACDC.” But, she sang all of my other favorites so I can't complain. I was able to bask in her presence from the second row and I loved every minute of it.
The Fred is the perfect outdoor venue for music lovers! It is the premier amphitheater in Peachtree City, GA, and hosts world-famous acts and local talent with state-of-the-art production. There really isn't a bad seat in the intimate setting of the outdoor amphitheater.

I love Joan Jett so much! I’ve been a huge fan of hers since the 80’s. She is such an awesome rocker.
Me too! She is a rock goddess!
Joan Jett has always seemed to me to be that take-no-crap from anyone type of woman. You want to talk about girl power? This woman DEFINED it!
She did and STILL does! She is simply amazing. Thank you for reading!
???? Joan -She’s definitely a great ENTERTAINER!!
I love her too! She is amazing! Thank you for stopping by!
I really liked her when she came out with I Love Rock-n-Roll, then, Crimson and Clover. She has so many great songs. Then, I heard about the band The Runaways, and I liked them too. Joan Jett is THE female rocker.
My dad loves listening to rock music! And I basically grew up with I love Rock n Roll. It must have been wonderful seeing her live!
Wow….I have never heard about Joan! I am so happy, on the other hand, that she managed to break herself free of the manipulative patriarchal system and setting her own path and trend.
I haven’t seen JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS play yet! I would love to see them in concert and “The Fred” sounds like an amazing venue.
joan jett is definitely one of the best entertainer, and so full of talent!
The pictures on the stages look very good. She is a pretty good rock musician.
My favorite song of her is “I hate myself for loving you.” Her vocals are incredible and she really deserves to be called a Rock Goddess! At 60 years old and she’s still rocking like that. Amazing.
That sounds like it was an amazing concert. I would love to see that!
That would have been so cool to see! I love going to big concerts.
My Mom is a huge fan of Joan Jett too! Haha! I remember Mama trying to copy her. hehe. Rock Goddess indeed!
Joan Jett is an amazing artist and a great lady. She looks and sounds fabulous after all these hard rock years.
