Phenomenal performance. Let's not forget that HEART are the OG's of Seattle. And the fact that Alice in Chains are a Seattle band too makes this even more beautiful. And watching Nancy walk out on the stage and start jamming with Jerry really steals the show for me. I don't know how Jerry maintained his composure, because I would have been totally geeking out with Nancy standing next to me shredding in all her glory.
Thats great. Thanks Its been a long and tough journey for me from the beginning to this stage of my life despite the hard times and struggles you my fan have been there for me, i appreciate your love and support it has been truly helpful and amazing and thanks for your every little effort. Never set a limit on yourself because you have what it takes to make it happen. Send me your email address so I'll text you, hope you dont mind??
Personally I think she did a great job and her performance is wildly accurate. I even commented my approval of it! Best cover though? I don't believe so because basically it was an exact replica of Heart's version. If we already have Heart's version why do we need this one? She could have spun it somehow to be there best cover ever.
I love Heart. I love Alice In Chains. I love Gretchen Wilson. I never expected this to be so amazing! Really, how rare is it for any woman to sing this song anywhere close to Ann Wilson?!? Gretchen NAILED it!!! I think she missed her calling in country...
i get chills when Gretchen hit those notes, AIC , Nancy Wilson , what more can i say . The planets aligned . Who ever was in charge of setting this up is a flipping genius.
just realized Heart is involved with maybe the two greatest covers on youtube. This one with Gretchen Wilson and Heart/Bonham covering Stairway to Heaven in front of Plant, Page, and Jones at the Kennedy Center Honors. Both are EPIC!
Jerry Cantrell said in an interview after this performance that they didn't rehearse with Gretchen at all beforehand, and he had no idea she could sing like that. He witnessed it just like we did.
No rehearsal? If that's true, then you can wrap all of the compliments listed here into one pulsating package and multiply by ten. The crunch in this video makes my bits resonate. Every aspect of artistic and performance proficiency exhibited in this artwork - songwriting, timing, singing (soul/range), heft- is just another stage on this rocket! My eighth play tonight.
Covering Ann Wilson is like covering Steve Perry: you either hit a homerun or end up looking a fool... Gretchen crossed home plate by the second verse.
ahepperl good for her maybe, but not for all of us rock lovers who have been wishing for another Ann Wilson quality singer to come along for nearly fifty years and when she finally does, she robs us of all that great rock music we could have enjoyed. That country shit may make her more money, but it is far from a challenge for her voice. I seriously doubt she will ever be a country legend, listed with the country greats like Tammy Wynette or Loretta Lynn but she could have easily been a rock legend, just like Ann Wilson is a rock god always mentioned with other legends like Janis Joplin and Grace Slick. So she robbed us rockers of great music and robbed herself a higher place in music history. You can say what you want about her country career, but I had never heard of her until I found this video. It is true I don’t listen to country music, but like anyone else, I can tell you who the really big names are in country or many other genres I don’t listen too, just because those lighting any genre on fire get a lot of mainstream press. Take Ann Wilson for example, everyone knows who she is, whether they are a country, hip hop, jazz, fusion or any other specific genre fan, because Ann is a fucking legend. There are far fewer great female rock singers in history, but far too many great female country singer, probably because country is far less demanding. Gretchen has not, nor will she ever match the same level of fame as Ann Wilson has by singing country, but I think it’s obvious here that she could have and given women a better place in the one genre where women are lacking; Rock. Country has as many women artists as men or seems, but every rock and roller prays for the day we get another Ann Wilson. Someone who can really belt out a tune with the power of any man. I know, she was raised on country and is a country girl at heart ( no pun intended) and will stay a country artist for the remainder of her life and I think that’s great. I just wanted to state that all things are not equal, as you suggest, because she left rock music with one less hero and could have been a legend, changing rock history forever. I understand she is a simple girl and could care less about such things as fame and money, but leaving a legacy that will outlive yourself is usually everybody’s dream. It in our genetics and is the drive behind having children.
+BJBDF ......wow, just found this gem....I am an 70's and 80's HEART girl, but also a major ALICE IN CHAINS 90's chick, know nothing of Gretchen Wilson but she NAILED it and coincidentally awesome that all 3 of these amazingly musically talented WOMEN happen to share the same last name.

@@gretchenwilson7102 you did one hell of a job super proud I keep watching this video so much you’ve done heart proud and singing with Alice and chains amazing. I’ve seen many covers and there’s another women that sings like an on coming train but you have the hi octaves and Long range vocal chords that I admire fabulous job Gretchen I’m proud and a huge fan
Anybody who is reading this, I've been listening to the music my kids like for so long (shitty Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, etc.), that when I played this, I fucking wept. Today's music is a god damn tragedy. This shit here will restore your motherfucking soul, it will pump the sweet life force right back through your dry and withered veins.
75rtk played my music for my daughter as she was growing up. Her favorite singer is Stevie Nicks and she is the only kid in her class who blasts Led Zeppelin, The Who and Cheap Trick. I feel for you man, so glad my little girl appreciates the good music that changed our lives.
She's done something no one else can do with this song,she nailed it,it's not better than the original,but it s as close as one can be with out Ann singing it her self 🤟
Fucking thank you!!!!!! YES!!!!! Gretchen deserves MUCH respect for that performance! I'm a serious critic and this is the ONLY version for me period!!!!!!!!
The absolute talent of Gretchen always blows me away. And check out Nancy jamming Alice in chains like she's been there for years. You know she was always so bad ass in the 70's and 80's watching her she just never fails to deliver.
I'll second that,,,,,Ann has some pipes and those are some serious shoes to fill and Gretchen does a great job. Nice backing band by the way...................lmao
I wouldnt consider this nailing it personally. I feel this swas a 6.5/10 imitation at best personally. Not trying to be rude to the singer, it just doesnt compare with the original.
It was NAILED! I grew up listening to the Wilson Sisters rock out. Hart was one of my most favorite band in the day and This was a stellar performance of Barracuda.
@@jamespink6361 Yeah...no. it really wasnt. Dont get me wrong, she did as well as she likely could have, but covering somebody elses song with half their octave range missing is not what I'd call nailing it personally.
Nancy is fantastic, Gretchen was fantastic Jerry Cantrell and Alice in Chains were fantastic, I miss Heart, I seen them 14 times they rocked it every time, I saw Jerry Cantrell and Alice in Chains they were fn great, but I only seen Layne in spirit 🐾💗
Gretchen Wilson is absolutely on top of her game here, she's a awesome singer always have loved her ... she actually kinda a outlaw in Country Music ... Go Figure ...😊
This was recorded 11 years ago in 07. Who's still listening to great rock music in 2019? I know I am. This AIC cover with the incomparable Nancy Wilson and Gretchen is fabulous, as always! At 01:16, you see a legend from Heart walk onto the stage.......Mrs. Nancy Wilson. Gretchen doing Ann justice here.
Sorry, but that is an option. There were many unique and some very powerful female voices that came during the Rock eras. The best you'd ever get a majority to agree on, is a top 10 in a random order. Personally, Ann would rate high on my list. But I doubt I could ever decide on a defacto best.
The 'tone' your talking about is just massive distortion with humbucking guitar pickups. In my opinion the original is much better tonally using a single coil Stat because you can actually hear most of the individual notes and harmonics. This sounds pretty muddy in comparison.
Bogner amps make miracles, funny thing is when you ear a monster tone , and then you look for the isolated guitar track is usually almost unbearable and harsh sounding, but wonderful in the mix. Same thing for the Marshall jubilee , which Slash uses , I love his tone but if you try to listen to the guitar alone you wouldn't believe it is the same sound
Wow, I’ve never heard anyone cover this song so well! Her voice is spot on! Ann Wilson has an amazing voice… it’s difficult to emulate. She has Power, control, dynamic range, and is pitch perfect. Great job.
Lots of good things to say about Anne's vocals, but I keep coming back to her pitch. Especially considering she could sing dead on, live, with a full band blasting away behind her. Laser pitch. Not just the razor highs, but all the lows, too. Gretchen did her justice.
@@MarkTubeGGretchen does a great job covering this song but I have to admit there is no replacement for Nancy's sister Ann Wilson she is the best female vocalist in the world ❤❤❤

She's the closest most accurate spot on cover of this song I've ever heard. Just amazing.
Gretchen does a virtually perfect vocal cover of this song.
No boubt. That was so Bad Ass.

She killed it
Alisha does ok. This is a proper tribute
I have watched this performance a 100 times (or more). Seriously, one of the best covers of a song ever. Ever.
Watch heart pay tribute to Led Zeppelin with Stairway to Heaven
I would say if you had to send a rocket to outer space with a quintessential hard driving rock and roll song it would be Barracuda and Black Dog.
Gretchen Wilson is totally awesome in this, I love her so much

When MTV actually had good bands that played music. Gretchen just rocked and damn she looked hot.

This is sick.. Alice in Chains playing Heart...Showing respect to those who paved the way for later rockers.
Just listen to the beginning of Rooster. Sounds like Heart to me.
But it's actually layne singing a falsetto;
That is true. I never knew that until now. I
really thought it was Ann & Nancy. I don't know why I thought that.
I thought the same as you too!

I come back every couple of months to listen to this .
I don't come back to it that often...but often!
I just don't leave ....ever
Me too.✌
I wish it was in higher resolution though!
fuck ya!!!
Gretchen is F'kn kicking ass on this song!! Just pure precision!!!
I can't get over how much Gretchen sounds like Ann.. it's amazing

I watch this video at least 12x a year. Best cover I’ve ever heard. Gretchen slays it!!!
Yeah man it’s an amazing cover, but I suggest you check out Moriah Formica - singer of the band Plush, she’s also very good!
It's definitely awesome. Have you checked out the version of Barracuda by Nuno Bettencourt and Liv Warfield?

Holy crap. There was some serious talent on that stage. Killer performance. BRAVO
Gretchen Wilson is absolutely on top of her game here, she's a awesome singer always have loved her ... she actually kinda a outlaw in Country Music ... Go Figure ...😊
May 2023 and still loving this
this woman rocks the shit out of this song, wow wow fucking wow
This was recorded 11 years ago in 07. Who's still listening to great rock music in 2019? I know I am. This AIC cover with the incomparable Nancy Wilson and Gretchen is fabulous, as always!
At 01:16, you see a legend from Heart walk onto the stage.......Mrs. Nancy Wilson. Gretchen doing Ann justice here.
NM156 it is good, strike that, great. In many ways better than the original! Gretchen's rock and pop covers are awesome.
She fucking kicks ass on this
Can someone post the video of Rooster from this show?
Jerry's tone makes my arm hair stand
Here she is doing it in 2019 - ruclips.net/video/RnQwO7kwn4A-/видео.html it's not fabulous.
Still listening : januari 2024,anyone else here?
Just love it
This version never gets old!!
I wonder how many are totally shocked that a country singer could absolutely nail this awesome rock song!!!! LOVE IT!!
She did an awesome job ......great voice work
Mad Painter I'm absolutely shocked.
That was bad asssss!!
Mad Painter ME..........totally blown away
desertsun100 i got to see Gretchen do it! bitch nailed it and can fucking sing!
My gosh, if I closed my eyes I'd swear its Ann Wilson singing. That is truly a feat. Ann has, argualby, the best female voice in R&R.
I’d say she does, she looks and sounds beautiful
No argument to be made. Ann fucking RULES!!!
Yea she does sound a lot like Ann
Sorry, but that is an option. There were many unique and some very powerful female voices that came during the Rock eras. The best you'd ever get a majority to agree on, is a top 10 in a random order.
Personally, Ann would rate high on my list. But I doubt I could ever decide on a defacto best.
@@lennychorn147 Lzzy Hale? Joanne Shaw Taylor (Voice AND Guitar)?
Love Jerry
Gretchen Absolutely Rocks!!
Wow!! She really nailed it !!!
Wow, girl's got righteous pipes!
Anne would be proud
jerry's tone is on fricken point
Isnt it always?
+Angel SkaiXo Thought EXACTLY the same thing My Brotha!!!!
The 'tone' your talking about is just massive distortion with humbucking guitar pickups. In my opinion the original is much better tonally using a single coil Stat because you can actually hear most of the individual notes and harmonics. This sounds pretty muddy in comparison.
So you're judging the guitar tone based on a low resolution, highly compressed version of the song? Were you there at this show?
Bogner amps make miracles, funny thing is when you ear a monster tone , and then you look for the isolated guitar track is usually almost unbearable and harsh sounding, but wonderful in the mix. Same thing for the Marshall jubilee , which Slash uses , I love his tone but if you try to listen to the guitar alone you wouldn't believe it is the same sound
As a big AIC and Heart fan, I'm embarrassed that I'm just finding this. I can't stop listening to it.
Wow, I’ve never heard anyone cover this song so well! Her voice is spot on!
Ann Wilson has an amazing voice… it’s difficult to emulate. She has Power, control, dynamic range, and is pitch perfect.
Great job.
Lots of good things to say about Anne's vocals, but I keep coming back to her pitch. Especially considering she could sing dead on, live, with a full band blasting away behind her. Laser pitch. Not just the razor highs, but all the lows, too. Gretchen did her justice.
@@MarkTubeGGretchen does a great job covering this song but I have to admit there is no replacement for Nancy's sister Ann Wilson she is the best female vocalist in the world ❤❤❤
Gretchen absolutely nailed it! Impressive to say the least, plus she's smokin' hot.
This is one of the greatest performances I've ever seen
Thats great. Thanks
Its been a long and tough journey for me from the beginning to this stage of my life despite the hard times and struggles you my fan have been there for me, i appreciate your love and support it has been truly helpful and amazing and thanks for your every little effort. Never set a limit on yourself because you have what it takes to make it happen. Send me your email address so I'll text you, hope you dont mind??
@@gretchenwilson7102 Yeah right, fuck off spammer
@@footlicker6585 at first I was like, fuck yeah Gretchen replied to me! 😃
Then I was like noooooo 🥺
@@gretchenwilson7102 omg you nailed this you did an amazing job any chance you going to rock such amazing voice🤟🏻🤟🏻
Damn she nailed that song.
Best cover of this song ever
I was a kid when this came out in 77, and this woman nails it.
pretty sure that's one of the best cover songs I've ever heard.
Untill you hear Heart cover Led Zep!! :) but I hear ya what u r saying...
It was good until she forgot the lines you mean (Heart covering Led Zep)
should sound good heart are her aunts
You know that never occurred to me until I read your comment. Interesting
You want a Zeppelin cover...feast your ears! ruclips.net/video/xH-_9cwdLug/видео.html
Best cover of any song I've ever heard. Amazing vocal performance.
Man she kills it! Never knew she could sing like that. Arguably one of the best covers ever!
Absolute brilliance. Hands down one of the greatest covers of all time.
The greatest cover, bar none.
Brian Buchanan watch Heart cover Stairway to Heaven and then think bar none!
@@GreybeardBiker1 yeah I’m gunna have to disagree. You should watch Ann and Nancy cover Stairway by Zeppelin. It is the most beautiful cover ever made
@@stephaniebuechter5029 And I'm going to have to disagree with all of you. Johnny Cash-Hurt. The original artist admits ( Trent Reznor ) admits his version was better
WOW! They did BARRACUDA total rock justice!!!
That's how you cover a fucking killer jam WOW.🤘❤️🤪🇺🇸👍👊💪
