Not even. Impossible to imagine. She brings so much deep power. She's the rumbling earth, the crashing waves, and Nancy is burning sun, the piercing wind. These sisters are a force.
Ann, Roger, and Steve didn't exactly set the world on fire as a group. Mike Flicker, their producer, didn't think they were anything special until Nancy joined. Fact.
Always thought (still do) Ann was the most beautiful. Both could sing but Ann has the best, most powerful voice ever. Stevie Nicks 2nd but even she isn't near Anns vocals. She's got such range.
Probably the greatest female rock singer, performing their best song. This was a real rock band. Unbelievable performance and vocal range from Ann Wilson. She was truly unmatched. A real legendary band.
I met Nancy the day of their first show in Rochester. I worked for the venue and was talking with a couple roadies I knew from previous bands they had worked. Nancy came in with a guitar she had just gotten from House of Guitars that she wanted her techie to check out. She sat and talked a little while and I thought what a pleasant lady. She asked what bands had played the arena that year, did I get to meet them, what’s Lou Graham like (he’s from Rochester area). I told her I thought the intro to Crazy was incredible and I couldn’t wait to see them do it live. It was just a cool half hour or so. That night I was on the floor at stage right when they started the song. She strutted around as usual ripping out the soul of that guitar. Then the pause. She looked right at me, smiled and high kicked that song into outer space!!!! I doubt she’d even remember but I doubt I can ever forget. I get the nearly same rush when I see that kick today as I did then. Thank you Nancy
Was I the only 16-yr old watching this in '78, pretending I was hitting Ann's powerful notes while at the same time strutting around like Nancy, pounding that guitar while my long wild hair blew out of control?! 🤣 They were tough firebrand rockers and we'd never seen anything like them before. An indelible memory!
I was stationed at Ft. Hood Texas when this concert happened. Me and a couple buddies in my platoon went to Dallas and saw this. I was 19 years old and we paid something like 12 or 15 dollars for a ticket. WHAT !!! There was some heavy hitters: Van Halen Eddie Money Atlanta Rhythm Section Head East Journey Heart Ted Nugent Aerosmith In my opinion, Heart stole the show. They were incredible !!!
My mom always talks about how she went to every single one since they started. I can’t remember who it was, but on one of these videos she saw herself. The back of her. She was on her then boyfriend’s shoulders. She said she always got there super early to get in the front. She told me about how she saw Bowie in Dallas in 1978. Went to some bar called the candy something or other,( I can’t remember)with him. (Ashamed to say she was a groupie) lol. Had bright deep red hair. Stuck out like a sore thumb! I was born too late. 93, wish it was 53 or 63
Ha! I always say that when I think about the prospect of getting old. I wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world. No computers, cellphones - people actually were spontaneous and looked each other in the eyes and had engaging conversations without the constant distractions. And of course, a plethora of great music. Kids who are glued to their screens don't know how we existed before the smart phone!
Soooo agree..just watches the stairway to heaven performance at Kennedy center aga 6:57 in. An incredible performance by duo still at the top of their game
Uh...I was a huge fan of the band back then. Loved Nancy...but ADORED Ann! OMG I was so obsessed with her I even had a girlfriend at the time who looked a lot like Ann! Those were good times but that's all long in the past now...
Amen to that! Undoubtedly the best vocals and greatest solo on acoustic guitar, Nancy is and was the greatest female guitarist to walk the earth and will never be beat, at least that's my opinion!
How good a rock vocalist/goddess was Ann Wilson? I'd put her in my top 5 without having to think about it. And yeah, sister Nancy was pretty good with that guitar too.
When I was 18 in 1979, I would sing this so loud in our living room when nobody was home..Heart..... awwww.... I'm 58 now and this song takes me back.Beautiful group.
Eileen Sianez you weren't alone ......except I really didn't have vocal prowess like Annie. I'm 58 yrs young too girl,I still love Heart. Ann has her own YT channel I don't know about Nancy ....in case your interested.❤️❤️
Love this video, Nancy Wilson incredible guitarist. I’m 14 and heart is one of my favorite bands to kick back and play some darts with my grandpa. And the intro to Crazy on you has to be one of my favorites ever! Long live Rock
I took my oldest son to his first show as an early 14th birthday present. He later told me it was the best present ever. We saw Three Day's Grace with Adam, Breaking Ben and Seether. He's now 30 and we still go see shows together. You're never too young to listen to great music and this is timeless. ❤😊 I will go until they plant me 😂

Im 76, These were the most incredible times... Music that you LOVED and understood...it stirred the Soul
This was a 1977 performance....BUT Ann Wilson can STILL belt those high pitches that she was doing in the 70's...They are ONE of a Kind....Ann and Nancy Wilson....HEART LIVES ON......ROCK ON Ladies.........
God, I didn't pay attention to the lyrics before. But this song is a real poem. Some of the most beautiful lyrics I heard. Add this to Nancy's opening, Roger fisher's, the guitar riffs, and Ann's powerful and tender vocals, and you have, in my opinion, one of the greatest Rock songs ever.
@@mlhowe67 Yes, for those of us who grew up in, and closely followed (age-wise) that era, the reference was well understood. Sadly, the reference holds true, generation after generation and war after war. However, the desire to put death aside, forget for the moment and make love, with tender ferocity, is a human trait and a lovely way to reclaim life...and possibly create it. Decades ago (I'm old) two women friends confessed that the death of parent/in-law led to "increased activity" with their spouses, resulting in the birth of their first child. "You kept me alive with your sweet flowing love", in my friends' cases would have been "We made new life with our sweet flowing love". Whatever, one of my favorite songs and performances!
Yes, this and Magic Man were the sound track to my coming of age. If you know what I mean 😅 This was the best Iine-up of the band imho. Fisher, Leese, Desrosier, the iconic Wilson sisters. No one did it better. I'm gIad I got to see them in the 80's at the Garden State Arts Center in Jersey. A friend was working backstage and got us tickets. Fantastic show. Cheap Trick opened for them, and I love Cheap Trick but Heart bIew them away. Hands down. These songs take me back to my teenage years and great memories with good friends. ❤
someone with a time machine PLEASE come scoop me up, I will be your indentured servant and willingly sacrifice my life for you when the time is necessary but in exchange you MUST get me out of this time, I am 28 and this era we are suffering through is not for me
I have seen Heart multiple times over the decades. They are not just among the greatest women rockers of all time... They are among the greatest ROCKERS of all time. Thanks for all your great work Ladies! You are a national treasure.
Ann has one of the best voices ever. Her technique, breathing, those amazing pipes. Such great original rock. Harmonies with Nancy,great guitar work. Just awesome.
Absolutely! There are many other terrific female voices, but no one has the range and versatility of Ann! And I know it's subjective, but I really think Ann is underrated. I'll take her hands down over Janice, Stevie, and Pat. The only one who comes close in my mind is Grace.
Anne Wilson's voice in this recording is sublime, and Nancy's guitar playing is as well. The backing players and vocals are also awesome. Just an incredible performance.
This is an insane master piece by Heart with Nancy's guitar solo introduction, Ann's unbelievable high notes, and the two electronic guitarists' final dual.
@happytownesvanzandt AbsoIuteIy, Roger Fisher and Howard Leese, they all made it excellent. This was the best line-up by far. I mean Ann & Nancy always sound good but this was the most creative, hard rocking version of the band and my personal favorite. They were the total package. I love Magic Man too. And their version of Stairway To Heaven at the Kennedy Center tribute to Led Zeppelin was electric. If you haven't listened to it yet you must. The 7 min some longer version. It is a masterpiece 🏆🥇❤
The iron I pumped while listening to Ann & Nancy in the 1970's helped gain me a full football scholarship to an awesome college which gave me a wonderful life. Ann & Nancy helped motivate me to afford 6 kids & 13 grand children (so far).
I love how everything is dark when nancy plays the intro and everyone appears out of nowhere when everything starts showing the spotlight on them. CHILLS
Nancy Wilson being an complete BADASS here. Playing her intro like a BOSS, perfectly navigating the ebb and flow between fanciful beauty and powerful aggression, before launching the band attack like an absolute BEAST ..Kickass. 🤘
I recorded off the FM station a live concert from Boston on that tour, and at the end of that EPIC acoustic intro, Nancy held that final E chord while Ann yelled into the mic "YOU STILL HERE?" The crown went nuts just as Nancy hit that Am to start the song. I still get goosebumps thinking about it.
OMG !!! Everytime I see this I'm blown out of my mind, and that happens during the intro of the piece !!! Nancy Wilson floors me every..single..time !!! Then Ann starts belting it out and together they make us cry !!! All you can do is hold on and enjoy the ride. And when it's over, pick yourself up off the floor and say THANK YOU !! 🥀👍🏻🙋🏻♀️
One of the most iconic intros to a rock song in music history and Nancy kills ie every time. The additional improvisation on this version is excellent. One of my favorite Heart songs! Well done Nancy and Anne!
It’s sometimes hard to believe that there was a time when NEW MUSIC was coming out that sounded like THIS. Almost 50 years ago. This song gets me so amped up haha. It rocks so hard!
Proof that I was born at the right time to witness these women in rock, who are some of the best to ever take a stage…Heart will always be a phenomenal band
I'm only 41 ...but Nancy Wilson Is the sexiest woman on the planet!!! Damn those skills! And she's still georgious!! Mad respect to the wilson sisters 👏!!!!!
Love those harmonics! Impressive how she makes a guitar sound like a damm piano! 😮😮 Back when you actually had to play.. 😅😅 Feel sorry for todays music in general..
Saw Heart in Austin, Texas decades ago, and Ann sang Unchained Melody A cappella. The delivery was stupendously flawless. It was the most beautiful love song I had ever heard. She lives in my heart to this day, and I am 76 yo.
There is No one who has the power and control of Ann Wilson. She is the bar by which all other singers try to attain. NO one can wail like Ann. Ann and Nancy freakin Rock!!! Loved Heart as skinny 14 year old kid at the Bad Animals tour in 1988. A few years on and a little less hair and I still love them. Desire walks on!
Yea he is a great guitarist ! He was in a bad position in the band ! Drummer and he both liked Nancy . No win situation! You get all them emotions going and I guess I can see where he wigged out ! The original band was dynamic though!!! Love Heart !!!
AbsoIuteIy, Fisher & Howard Leese, they all added to the band and this was the best line up by far. Great sound, creativity and they could rock !! With the Wilson sisters up front, they were the total package.
In 1977, these acts also had songs on the Billboard top 100. The Bay City Rollers, Shaun Cassidy, Rose Royce, KC and the Sunshine Band, and David Soul. There were ALWAYS musical acts that had some degree of success through good marketing despite a shortage of talent. Pick any year since the beginning of popular music, and that's true. We just don't remember all the forgettable, plastic manufactured acts.
@@OTCRock4one It goes much deeper than just auto tune. The drum beats can now be moved to be in computer perfect time and then drums sounds replaced with recordings from other drummer. It happens all the time and it is why most drums now sound the same.
Thanks for sharing - great post. Unsure why folks keep qualifying Ann Wilson as the greatest “female” rock singer… I can’t think of a single rock vocalist of ANY sex that even comes close. Vocal range, power, great songs, great song writer, and undying, fierce commitment to ROCK and ROLL for 50+ years. She is still growing as a performer. Most of her peers settled or gave up decades ago. Rock on Queen ❤❤❤
Some time within the last 10 years or so, I got to see Nancy shred the acoustic guitar like that. Crazy to think she was doing that since before I was born! Legend!
This was my generation...good memories. 45 years later, i have a different appreciation to the pure quality of their delivery platform. They went from VS to VSOP.
I was hatched in Dec 77... And my folks were young... Mom was 18, Dad was 21. I had the displeasure with growing up pretty poor.. But i had the pleasure and ADVATAGE and LOVE for this era... My folks taught me well. I rememeber my house smelling like Sandlewood, Jasmine, Marijuana, and the slight essence of acoustic guitars...both played. We may not have had much, but we had music. And this song reminds me of that era.. Then the 80's hit, and Video did, in fact, kill the radio star. The times can change the music, shit all over the industry, leave a trail of non talent along the way. But they can't take my memories! THIS was music... And theres still good music. But going unnoticed.
Saw them December 1976 given free tickets at university for victoria theatre gig. Played all Dreamboat Annie, had a break then played most of album again. Me and my mates had never heard of them before and were just gobsmacked. Truly a stunning night.
So many bands from this era fall into the category "There will never be another like them again". I'm 54 and I give a shout out to all from My time "We had the greatest times to grow up in, didn't We".
@ron smith I can't argue with that. At My age I could hear them on the AM radio but You could see them live in they're hay day's. You truly did have it luckier.
@@roxannerice247 Agreed ! All I had in Minnesota was My walls filled with pictures of cars from Cali torn out of Hot Rod magazine wishing I lived in California (When it was a cool place to live). I'm jealous for sure.
@dieselrotor yes it was an awesome place to grow up. It was so different back then. I'm definitely thankful that I got to grow up in such a cool place. I pretty much saw all of the awesome bands of that time. I loved it.
This band, with this lineup, could kick any other band's ass down the staircase, with a few exceptions, of course. Deserves to be mentioned in the same breath with all the bigs.

There is nothing like Nancy Wilson launching into those familiar chords with her hair blowing in the wind. That’s rock kids.
That's rock? I thought it was gangster rap. Thanks for educating me.
Don’t forget that awesome kick!
What wind? This is indoors.
Yes! And her timing is perfect, especially with launching into Crazy On You.
@@chesspunk489 You need to understand the differences in rap - this is clearly Trap
Sister played the HELL out of that guitar 🎸
She is a female guitargod😊😅
The record label didn’t want Nancy in the beginning and Anne told them she comes with me or I won’t sign. Can you imagine Heart without Nancy Wilson?
Not even. Impossible to imagine. She brings so much deep power. She's the rumbling earth, the crashing waves, and Nancy is burning sun, the piercing wind. These sisters are a force.
Ann, Roger, and Steve didn't exactly set the world on fire as a group. Mike Flicker, their producer, didn't think they were anything special until Nancy joined. Fact.
No way! Ann and Nancy are both so talented! Love Heart so much!!
Just wondering, how did you come upon this knowledge?
@@noneofyourbusiness2750 fuentes: mi cola
No one tops Ann's singing 😳🎵✌️👍
And NO one ever will!!!
@sweynforkbeardtraindude Grace is great but she's not better than Ann.
Ann’s voice slices thru you like ❤
Quite possibly the most badass pair of sisters of all time. Don’t know which one I have a bigger crush on
❤
Always thought (still do) Ann was the most beautiful. Both could sing but Ann has the best, most powerful voice ever. Stevie Nicks 2nd but even she isn't near Anns vocals. She's got such range.
Both❤
This is literally a flawless performance. I mean Holy shit, listen to those vocals!
❤
And no autotune! Just talent!
This is my neighbor's favorite song...whether they like it or not.
Completely underappreciated comment. Well played sir.
Lol
Haha I think there is one of these comments on every good song uploaded to RUclips. good fun. Cheers.
Funnier when the other guy said it on previous Heart video
mine also and i live in a 55+ community ..
I tell you one thing, I've never seen anyone rocking an acoustic guitar like Nancy! So much charisma!!
Absolutely!👍
Best intro. Nancy commands that acoustic
She’s a god
And an Ovation, at that!! ❤
@@ronaldlogan7983 ...that leg kick!
Probably the greatest female rock singer, performing their best song. This was a real rock band. Unbelievable performance and vocal range from Ann Wilson. She was truly unmatched. A real legendary band.
I’m partial to Love Alive but Crazy On You is good too.
She's still around and still killing it
I prefer Stevie's songwriting and unique voice/stage presence, but I think Ann's range/technical skill as a vocalist is unmatched.
She was? She still is bro, she still is.
Ann Wilson is right there with Whitney Houston, Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt as the finest female rock vocalists EVER !!!
I met Nancy the day of their first show in Rochester. I worked for the venue and was talking with a couple roadies I knew from previous bands they had worked. Nancy came in with a guitar she had just gotten from House of Guitars that she wanted her techie to check out. She sat and talked a little while and I thought what a pleasant lady. She asked what bands had played the arena that year, did I get to meet them, what’s Lou Graham like (he’s from Rochester area). I told her I thought the intro to Crazy was incredible and I couldn’t wait to see them do it live. It was just a cool half hour or so. That night I was on the floor at stage right when they started the song. She strutted around as usual ripping out the soul of that guitar. Then the pause. She looked right at me, smiled and high kicked that song into outer space!!!! I doubt she’d even remember but I doubt I can ever forget. I get the nearly same rush when I see that kick today as I did then.
Thank you Nancy
B Laws thanks for sharing . Happy new year
Same to you Rajeev
nice
B Laws, awesome story!
She really is an awesome lady
Was I the only 16-yr old watching this in '78, pretending I was hitting Ann's powerful notes while at the same time strutting around like Nancy, pounding that guitar while my long wild hair blew out of control?! 🤣 They were tough firebrand rockers and we'd never seen anything like them before. An indelible memory!
No
Amazing 🤩
I'm still doing it at 60!!!
When I was 10, I remember my mom blasting this music through our house. Only now, at the age of 35, do I realize what great taste in music she had.
Tomorrow I'll blast my house again with "Barracuda" 🔊🏡🐟 ...
I had the same problem at 10yo (1975), with my Mom blasting her "Frampton Comes Alive" album...
"Mom, turn it down please!" 🤣🤣
I grew up rocking to Elvis. I raised my son on hard rock and metal, we go to shows together now. Good music is timeless & ageless. ✊️💯
And u r write u no !!!!!!!
I feel that in my soul ❤
I was stationed at Ft. Hood Texas when this concert happened. Me and a couple buddies in my platoon went to Dallas and saw this. I was 19 years old and we paid something like 12 or 15 dollars for a ticket. WHAT !!! There was some heavy hitters:
Van Halen
Eddie Money
Atlanta Rhythm Section
Head East
Journey
Heart
Ted Nugent
Aerosmith
In my opinion, Heart stole the show. They were incredible !!!
Rad as hell! What I’d give to trade places
My mom always talks about how she went to every single one since they started. I can’t remember who it was, but on one of these videos she saw herself. The back of her. She was on her then boyfriend’s shoulders. She said she always got there super early to get in the front.

Where in Dallas was this at?
@@jrh1704 It was at the cottonbowl
Seriously, who can compete with Ann Wilson's voice? She's on a level all her own, incredible!
Different genre, but Sass Jordan is tough to match too.
The answer to that is Joan fucking Jett. 🤘🏼🤙🏼
@@jeremymac3 LOL...Jett rocks, but her voice sounds like a cat in a blender.
academyofshem if the cat and blender were sent down from Jesus. That’s rock n roll! 🤘🏼
@@jeremymac3 Wasn't aware that Jesus was into bean-flickers.
As a teenager, I couldn’t decide which Wilson singer I had a bigger crush on.
Nancy's opening is one of the all-time greatest rock intro's.
Nicholas Jansen and she knew the guys were right there to hammer that opening! It’s so great!
Was there a bit of 'hijinks' in there?
Yes sir. Born in '85. Seen a lot of talent. Mudvayne. Fear Factory. All of it. And that girl nailed that shit. ROCK ON!!!
@@richardmiller2049 Pure Talent.
Absolutely!
It's worth being old now to have been young then.
Well said. I saw them LIVE at the Tower Theater in UpperDarby, Pa on this very tour. Got to meet and hang on their bus after. Memory is priceless.
Ha! I always say that when I think about the prospect of getting old. I wouldn't trade it for all the money in the world. No computers, cellphones - people actually were spontaneous and looked each other in the eyes and had engaging conversations without the constant distractions.

Flips over and reads label...."Made in Vancouver?????"
Luba Movie oof
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️
I Agree!
yes it was called the 70s
when singers could sing... glad these old videos exist!
So do I!!! 👍🏿
Roses are red, violets are blue. When I listen to Heart, my neighbors do too!
I do not blame u at all!!!!!!!!!
I like that ❤.
Hallelujah
Lmfao!
I've come to find that mine quite like Heart (Motorhead, not so much). They're on the fence with AC/DC.
I don't listen to Heart often, but when I do so does the neighborhood.
Trajan I Know RIGHT!
Quite right too
Trajan Augustus my nieghbors hear it rn
Yes!!! :D

How can anyone not have a crush on Nancy Wilson... at any age or in any decade.
Soooo agree..just watches the stairway to heaven performance at Kennedy center aga 6:57 in. An incredible performance by duo still at the top of their game
Uh...I was a huge fan of the band back then. Loved Nancy...but ADORED Ann! OMG I was so obsessed with her I even had a girlfriend at the time who looked a lot like Ann! Those were good times but that's all long in the past now...
Ann Wilson for me plz 😂
Is this one of the best videos on RUclips?? Bloody hell.
Ann Wilson’s vocals are one of the most out of the world vocals ever.
Lzzy Hale and Janet Gardner
My view is she has the best female rock voice ever
Nobody but NOBODY can rock on an acoustic guitar like Nancy Wilson! 💕
Willie Nelson
Jimmy Page can, and so can Carlos Santana...🤔
The greatest acoustic players I've ever heard are Nick Drake and Richard Thompson.
When Nancy thrusts up her left leg and kicks into the riff at 2:30 - that's one of the greatest rock n roll moments ever recorded,
I saw them back in 1990 ina small venue in Scranton Pa they played this and I lost it
Amen to that! Undoubtedly the best vocals and greatest solo on acoustic guitar, Nancy is and was the greatest female guitarist to walk the earth and will never be beat, at least that's my opinion!
She winds up like she's about to throw the winning pitch in the world series... then does it!
How good a rock vocalist/goddess was Ann Wilson? I'd put her in my top 5 without having to think about it. And yeah, sister Nancy was pretty good with that guitar too.
No doubt about it
Heart is one of the best sounding bands when they perform live.
Still loving every note. Let me think, it’s 10-16-23 and I am 76. I will take this video to my grave. Rock on HEART!!!
When I was 18 in 1979, I would sing this so loud in our living room when nobody was home..Heart..... awwww.... I'm 58 now and this song takes me back.Beautiful group.
Are you still belting it out? Love you for being the beautiful woman you are!
Same here, even the same age! You must be my sister from another Mother!

Rock on Linda, from a dude.
Her voice is better now :)
Linda Mason the..
I agree they broke up as a band for a while because they wanted and did both fuck the same man. lead guitar!
it's called musical talent it runs in families sometimes
Great song, I just heard of Ann Wilson's cancer diagnosis and the cancellation of her 2024 music tour, may she have a speedy recovery. God bless.
I READ ABOUT HER CANCER DIAGNOSIS. SAD.
God, I didn't pay attention to the lyrics before. But this song is a real poem. Some of the most beautiful lyrics I heard. Add this to Nancy's opening, Roger fisher's, the guitar riffs, and Ann's powerful and tender vocals, and you have, in my opinion, one of the greatest Rock songs ever.
Heard on a radio program a few years ago this song was a response to the Vietnam War. Lyrics do make sense now.
Yes, it is a beautiful love poem....
No opinion necessary, that’s a straight fact.

Um, anyone remember Linda Ronstadt?
Nancy is iconic here. Her flow is incredible. Just a timeless performance
Ann Wilson is the best female rock singer of all time and I’ll fight each and every one of you who don’t agree
Two words: Linda Ronstadt.
You don't think they had equal power?
Linda's truly amazing but she was never an all out rock singer.
Correct
🤘
Badass guitar intro and then one of most killer sets of pipes the biz has ever seen, bar none. Epic.
Grant, you nailed it. Epic as f**k.
These ladies are still under rated. One of the best rock bands. Ann and Nancy are so damn talented.
j johansen I agree ☝️ amazing...
Underrated publicly maybe, but the RRHoF recognized them at least. They went in with my favorite band..
i don't think that word means what you think it means...
Highly rated .

Growing up with these songs - we had so much energy, laughs and well, fun...😊 today's music is a bummer
Ann has one of the best voices ever. Her technique, breathing, those amazing pipes. Such great original rock. Harmonies with Nancy,great guitar work. Just awesome.
I concur 100% :D Amazing, talented siblings/artists.
best female rock vocalist of all time.
Don't forget Pat!
@@UrbanTiger74 IMHO not even close but its subjective so i respect your opinion
Absolutely! There are many other terrific female voices, but no one has the range and versatility of Ann! And I know it's subjective, but I really think Ann is underrated. I'll take her hands down over Janice, Stevie, and Pat. The only one who comes close in my mind is Grace.
@@LzCoda I guess you've never heard of Annie Haslam...
Pat Benetar anyone? This is still good tho.
Anne Wilson's voice in this recording is sublime, and Nancy's guitar playing is as well. The backing players and vocals are also awesome. Just an incredible performance.
This is an insane master piece by Heart with Nancy's guitar solo introduction, Ann's unbelievable high notes, and the two electronic guitarists' final dual.
Roger Fisher's work on this song is just excellent.
The Hijinx interlude is awesome too!
@happytownesvanzandt AbsoIuteIy, Roger Fisher and Howard Leese, they all made it excellent. This was the best line-up by far. I mean Ann & Nancy always sound good but this was the most creative, hard rocking version of the band and my personal favorite. They were the total package. I love Magic Man too. And their version of Stairway To Heaven at the Kennedy Center tribute to Led Zeppelin was electric. If you haven't listened to it yet you must. The 7 min some longer version. It is a masterpiece 🏆🥇❤
The iron I pumped while listening to Ann & Nancy in the 1970's helped gain me a full football scholarship to an awesome college which gave me a wonderful life. Ann & Nancy helped motivate me to afford 6 kids & 13 grand children (so far).
I love how everything is dark when nancy plays the intro and everyone appears out of nowhere when everything starts showing the spotlight on them. CHILLS
Nancy Wilson being an complete BADASS here. Playing her intro like a BOSS, perfectly navigating the ebb and flow between fanciful beauty and powerful aggression, before launching the band attack like an absolute BEAST ..Kickass. 🤘
Man this performance is on fire. It doesn't get better than this and the intro gives me chills, still.
Saw them on this 78 tour in Regina, Saskatchewan. So amazing to relive that here! Heart ❤ sums it up.
Besides the genius of the performers, this is absolutely the sexiest song in music history. The unabashed expression of a woman in thrall to love.
Insanely high quality vocals, how were people so good at music back then?
I recorded off the FM station a live concert from Boston on that tour, and at the end of that EPIC acoustic intro, Nancy held that final E chord while Ann yelled into the mic "YOU STILL HERE?" The crown went nuts just as Nancy hit that Am to start the song. I still get goosebumps thinking about it.
OMG !!! Everytime I see this I'm blown out of my mind, and that happens during the intro of the piece !!! Nancy Wilson floors me every..single..time !!! Then Ann starts belting it out and together they make us cry !!! All you can do is hold on and enjoy the ride. And when it's over, pick yourself up off the floor and say THANK YOU !! 🥀👍🏻🙋🏻♀️
Dang that intro was amazing
One of the most iconic intros to a rock song in music history and Nancy kills ie every time. The additional improvisation on this version is excellent. One of my favorite Heart songs! Well done Nancy and Anne!
Ann Wilson one of the best female singers then and NOW !!!
It’s sometimes hard to believe that there was a time when NEW MUSIC was coming out that sounded like THIS. Almost 50 years ago. This song gets me so amped up haha. It rocks so hard!
Ann and Nancy Wilson.
The undisputed Queens of rock and roll!
That kick was some of the hardest shit I’ve ever seen
I've always loved the way she does that!
It's still crazy that one is a legendary acoustic player and the other is a legendary vocalist
Proof that I was born at the right time to witness these women in rock, who are some of the best to ever take a stage…Heart will always be a phenomenal band
What a legendary intro
I'm only 41 ...but Nancy Wilson Is the sexiest woman on the planet!!! Damn those skills! And she's still georgious!! Mad respect to the wilson sisters 👏!!!!!
Love those harmonics! Impressive how she makes a guitar sound like a damm piano! 😮😮 Back when you actually had to play.. 😅😅 Feel sorry for todays music in general..
The songwriting, musicianship, and presentation are superb. This truly is a masterpiece.
I've been listening to this masterpiece for over 40 years, and it still brings tears to my eyes. The lyrics will hold truth through the ages.
Saw Heart in Austin, Texas decades ago, and Ann sang Unchained Melody A cappella. The delivery was stupendously flawless. It was the most beautiful love song I had ever heard. She lives in my heart to this day, and I am 76 yo.
Nancy's guitar playing and Ann's voice are absolutely exquisite.
This song is iconic. Real masterclass.. And that Vocal is one of the best female rock vocal ever..
I never tire of hearing Nancy Wilson belting out these classics ❤
There is No one who has the power and control of Ann Wilson. She is the bar by which all other singers try to attain. NO one can wail like Ann. Ann and Nancy freakin Rock!!! Loved Heart as skinny 14 year old kid at the Bad Animals tour in 1988. A few years on and a little less hair and I still love them. Desire walks on!
I can't believe this only has 2.2 million views. Remarkable performance! Thank you Nancy and Ann.
Roger Fisher's tone is so fantastic! Very underrated player.
Yea he is a great guitarist ! He was in a bad position in the band ! Drummer and he both liked Nancy . No win situation! You get all them emotions going and I guess I can see where he wigged out ! The original band was dynamic though!!! Love Heart !!!
AbsoIuteIy, Fisher & Howard Leese, they all added to the band and this was the best line up by far. Great sound, creativity and they could rock !! With the Wilson sisters up front, they were the total package.
Absolutely Excellent !!
Thank you for the opportunity of watching this Jewel !!
This song requires so amazing level of skill, that it's just unbelievable. And she does it so easily.
The greatest ✌️
I love you
They are the greatest along w you
Yes they are, also, you're awesome 👏
YOU LOVE THIS? SAME
Portugal. The country
Everyone talks about Nancy but Ann had one helll of a voice
Ann still has one hell of a voice--check out Heart in the Lincoln Center tribute to the Zep. She sings 'Stairway' better than Plant.
Absolutely Ann does!! Incredible!!!
Had? .. Still !!
Well back in the day it was the other way around so fair is fair.
Denny Wheeler I don’t know about better the. plant, but I doubt there will ever be a better cover the one she did that night!
Remember when musicians had to be talented in order to be successful? Those were the days...
Archie and Edith knew, those were the days!
Shinwaable No Kidding
In 1977, these acts also had songs on the Billboard top 100. The Bay City Rollers, Shaun Cassidy, Rose Royce, KC and the Sunshine Band, and David Soul. There were ALWAYS musical acts that had some degree of success through good marketing despite a shortage of talent. Pick any year since the beginning of popular music, and that's true. We just don't remember all the forgettable, plastic manufactured acts.
Right no autotune crap
@@OTCRock4one It goes much deeper than just auto tune. The drum beats can now be moved to be in computer perfect time and then drums sounds replaced with recordings from other drummer. It happens all the time and it is why most drums now sound the same.
Im so glad i got back into this song a few months before guardians 3 came out. Made that moment even more exciting.
I love how the rest of the band just appears out of the dark
It will never be a generation like this again when a band actually rocked and remember kids this is Live and it sounds that good
Yup!
I love when she goes for the gautar pic you know it's gonna get good lol
I'm sure there will be sooner or later. Remember, our parents said the same thing about us. It comes in cycles. Everything does.
i grew up in the heyday of this. i still listen and enjoy.
most of these songs are now 50+ years old. they just
keep sounding better
We used to say they "cooked".
Thanks for sharing - great post. Unsure why folks keep qualifying Ann Wilson as the greatest “female” rock singer… I can’t think of a single rock vocalist of ANY sex that even comes close. Vocal range, power, great songs, great song writer, and undying, fierce commitment to ROCK and ROLL for 50+ years. She is still growing as a performer. Most of her peers settled or gave up decades ago. Rock on Queen ❤❤❤
Some time within the last 10 years or so, I got to see Nancy shred the acoustic guitar like that. Crazy to think she was doing that since before I was born! Legend!
That feeling when 1977 live acoustic solo sounds better than any 2019 studio work stuffed with computer processing.
sorry to tell you... its digital and computer processed, mp3 youtube
It was 77 or 78 when I saw them at Georgia Jam. They stole the show. The energy is electrifying and I love to watch Nancy play!

This was my generation...good memories. 45 years later, i have a different appreciation to the pure quality of their delivery platform. They went from VS to VSOP.
Both sisters IMMENSLY talented. Incomparable.
I was hatched in Dec 77... And my folks were young... Mom was 18, Dad was 21. I had the displeasure with growing up pretty poor.. But i had the pleasure and ADVATAGE and LOVE for this era... My folks taught me well. I rememeber my house smelling like Sandlewood, Jasmine, Marijuana, and the slight essence of acoustic guitars...both played. We may not have had much, but we had music. And this song reminds me of that era.. Then the 80's hit, and Video did, in fact, kill the radio star.
The times can change the music, shit all over the industry, leave a trail of non talent along the way. But they can't take my memories! THIS was music... And theres still good music. But going unnoticed.
Saw them December 1976 given free tickets at university for victoria theatre gig. Played all Dreamboat Annie, had a break then played most of album again. Me and my mates had never heard of them before and were just gobsmacked. Truly a stunning night.
So many bands from this era fall into the category "There will never be another like them again". I'm 54 and I give a shout out to all from My time "We had the greatest times to grow up in, didn't We".
you probably did
Yes we did. I grew up in the 70s and I lived in southern California. We had the best bands, music and cars!
@ron smith I can't argue with that. At My age I could hear them on the AM radio but You could see them live in they're hay day's. You truly did have it luckier.
@@roxannerice247 Agreed ! All I had in Minnesota was My walls filled with pictures of cars from Cali torn out of Hot Rod magazine wishing I lived in California (When it was a cool place to live). I'm jealous for sure.
@dieselrotor yes it was an awesome place to grow up. It was so different back then. I'm definitely thankful that I got to grow up in such a cool place. I pretty much saw all of the awesome bands of that time. I loved it.
What an AMAZING live version of this incredible song.
And it still can get me in the groove. I'm 80 and love it. Outstanding
This band, with this lineup, could kick any other band's ass down the staircase, with a few exceptions, of course. Deserves to be mentioned in the same breath with all the bigs.
I was born in 78' and was surrounded by good music like this everyday!!!
