AMAZING VOCALS! Vocal Coach reacts to Heart - Magic Man (1976)

[@mjarmstrong8143]

Ann in her prime was untouchable on vocals. Still to this day one of the best female rock vocalist 🤘🏼

[@stk0308]

Roger Fisher and Howard Leese don't get enough credit for the guitar work they put in

[@Lionize728]

DeRosier and Fossen don't get enough credit for their rhythm section either.

[@alexseraofficial9765]

Howard was always trying to get all the credit, Roger Fisher was and is the man

[@ryanhughes8653]

As a guitar player, the studio into is hands down the most fascinating electric guitar into in history!

[@drcornelius8275]

When Roger left the sound was gone.....

[@avoncalling7886]

“Crazy on You” really showcases Ann’s amazing vocal range and skills 😳😍

[@trixlee5102]

The guitarist you notice playing the lead is the underappreciated Roger Fisher. He was responsible for a lot of their early rock sound. Howard Leese is the other guitarist, who played keys as well as guitar. And Nancy, as she did on many songs early in Heart's career, is playing acoustic guitar here - probably her strongest instrument - and singing harmony vocals.

[@headlibrarian1996]

I always thought it odd Nancy plays rhythm guitar in her own band. Band founders usually play lead.

[@1cdrsubkiller]

No disrespect to Nancy who knows the number of guitar styles but she is 3rd best guitarist on that stage that's why she's playing rhythm and that was true in many of the early songs

[@TB-jt5dp]

@@headlibrarian1996 Technically neither Ann or Nancy are founders. Ann joined a year before Nancy.

[@ravenwind1062]

Yeah, Heart was a band, not a duet. Not to take away from the sisters, they are truly amazing but there other amazing people playing with them.

[@oldmanghost219]

Magic Man... Inspired by Ann's real life phone calls with her mother about her relationship with the draft dodging band manager in Canada. The Wilson Sisters are from Seattle and their father served in the Marine Corp. Complicated to say the least. .

[@InspectorVol]

Since you love her so much, for your own edification listen to this song from the Cal Jam 2 concert. She hits a note in that concert that is still traveling the universe. Unbelievable.

[@user-os6no3qp9j]

As for traveling, Freddy Mercurys’ voice seeks out blackholes and subsequently Freddy shall be our Ambassador of Music to the Delta Quadrant…

[@krash66]

Hi Beth! IMHO Ann Wilson is one of the top 5 rock singers EVER. Her voice is like a chainsaw wrapped in velvet when she really lets go.

[@jeffk1482]

Good analogy!

[@TheDivayenta]

You just don’t hear such highly melodic tunes like these now in the mainstream.

[@CashWhisperer]

It's because songs today aren't being written with a blues influence.

[@micheleosullivan4430]

Heart was one of my favorite bands back in the 80s! I saw them in concert several times and they never disappointed! Thank you for the commentary and reaction!

[@dr.s.]

Ann still sounds so amazing, she just released an album with her new band, that sound fantastic. Her voice is a bit grittier but I really enjoy it, it's more mature, like one would expect half a century later.

[@mikerasmusson8749]

Nancy on piano and guitar Ann on vocals

[@Rickmakes]

The Wilson sisters are a force to be reckoned with.

[@firedoc5]

Another great song reaction to Heart. For a bit of change of pace check out "Dream Boat Annie".

[@srt8rocketship241]

Ann is a force of nature. Could not think of anything else. Sister chisled from some fine rock.

[@boqndimitrov8693]

it's one thing to have a great voice, it's another thing to know how to use it. SHE knows!

[@dunringill1747]

When Ann Wilson sings, she makes it look so effortless. No matter how impressive her vocals come out, you can always tell she has plenty more in the tank.

[@leftcoaster67]

Heart is amazing. Your music is great Beth. Thanks!

[@BethRoars]

Thank you so much!

[@judyhawkins1290]

I still remember when they came back home to the Seattle area, from playing the bars & small venues in Vancouver, Canada. They'd been there because Ann's BF, Michael Fisher (brother of Guitarist Roger) was avoiding the Vietnam Draft. Ann & Nancy's Father, a hero in WW2, intervened with the corrupt local Draft Board to keep him out of Vietnam. Subsequently they were playing small venues around Seattle. We were too young to get into bars, but had heard the buzz around town for quite awhile about "these two Chicks from Bellevue (Seattle suburb) that sound just like Led Zeppelin." We camped out half the night in he parking lot of a nightclub in N. Seattle, trying to get the Bouncer/Doorman to keep it open so we could hear. Not long after that, they finally broke out in the U.S. I've seen them several times in the last 45 years, and they've never disappointed. I'd go so far as riding my bicycle 30 miles round trip to see a concert! Ann's voice is/was the best ever in Rock, hands down. The blood harmony with Sister Nancy is special. Nancy's acoustic guitar ability is amazing, too. Now, even @ 73, Ann still sounds great. Sure, you can tell a difference but age has taken very little. Listen to the song "Mistral Wind," the power ballad to end all power ballads. For a truly fantastic experience showing how NOBODY can cover Led Zep like them, listen to "The Battle of Evermore" from "Live in Seattle" 2002. Absolutely stunning, do I daresay it's BETTER than the original?!!

[@scastillo0923]

❤️🔥💯

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Magic Man is a good song and their first hit that was huge but they have many great ones other than that song alone Dog and Butterfly Barracuda Mistrial Wind ,chek them out

[@Sp33gan]

This is the Heart I remember so fondly. Though the band is from Seattle, they called my Vancouver, Canada, home for their earliest years. Before the fame, they played at one of my high school dances, they played at local roller skating rinks, they played free concerts in the city parks, anywhere they could. After they blew me away at my high school, I went to as many of their shows as I could. I was there often enough they began to recognise me, though we never spoke. Just nods and smiles of recognition. Beth, you're exactly right on about the Folk sound in Ann's voice. Heart's early sound was a blend of Rock, R&B, Gypsy/Folk, with a heavy does of Led Zeppelin. Ann also played flute in those early years. I've a story about the last time I saw them on a beautiful August night under the stars, but I've said it so often in reactions to the band. As the closing act of a full day of bands and singers, they were the closing act and even managed to top the Little River Band and their gorgeous harmonies. The Wilson sisters had bigger hits during the 1980s but, for me, nothing can match the beauty of the original band and how incredibly good they really were. ♥

[@Unit_104]

You know why they were in Canada, right?

[@Sp33gan]

@@Unit_104 I do, yeah. 🙂

[@gthomas3964]

Thanks Beth as always for your great reaction to HEART..Ann Wilson is my favorite female singer when I first heard her inthe 1970's..As you know she has done amazing covers of Led Zeppelin..One of my other favorite songs of hers is "Dog And Butterfly" I think she can sing about anything..And let's not forget Nancy not only a great guitar player and back up vocals but also a very good singer too..

[@somersetcace1]

When I was a kid 13 or 14, I didn't dislike Heart but ignored them for other stuff. I got the chance to see them live when I was 15 and boy did that change in a big way real fast. That was 40 years ago and it might still be one of the best live shows I've seen and not to brag, that's saying something. They were amazing throughout but their encore covers of Zeppelin were mind bogglingly good. The first one was Rock`n`Roll and I had no idea they even did Zeppelin covers at that time. I seem to recall needing both hands to pick my jaw up off the floor. 😏

[@Lionize728]

What a great performance. The original line up of Heart was fantastic.

[@AllenSJ5]

One of the best bands to ever do it.

[@alexseraofficial9765]

The legend says that Roger Fisher heard about Van Halen (by that time Eddie Van Halen was famous because he turned his back so no one could see what he was doing with his guitar), and Roger took it to another level, he tuned up his guitar with the next setting (E - A - D - G - D - G) so everybody could see him but no one sounded like him because of his tuning. That's why he sound so exotic even though he seems to play pentatonic scales Sorry for the awful english hahaha Greetings from Mexico :)

Ann Wilson is a bona fide Rock 'n Roll goddess!

Hi Beth This song is about her then boyfriend the brother to Roger. Ann just released a album the end of last month. At 73 she still Rocks and still Beautiful

[@NotStanleyTucci]

Human limitations don’t really apply to Ann ❤ She- like all the best vocalists- understand dynamics. Aretha, Celine, etc don’t blow up every verse or phrase just because they can. Great reaction

[@jamesgarlena5612]

Love it. I still have this vision in my head that they go home for Christmas dinner after making it big. Guess what two gals are doing the dishes?

[@YouLikeBosch]

73 and still going strong. I saw her play with Heart in like 2014ish and it was incredible. She is a gift. They all are.

[@gerardomr8231]

BEAUTIFUL BETH ROARS ❤️😍💋

[@omegafirelord7469]

I will give you my personal experience with early Heart! In the seventies before they moved to Vancouver and started releasing their own music, they played bars in the Seattle area as a Led Zeppelin cover band, and you can see that influence in their music!

[@polymath9372]

For 1976, that was really good recording quality - because Heart had the money to get the best!

[@jpdemer5]

In my yoot, Anne Wilson and Linda Ronstadt were the premiere female voices of rock, with power, clarity, and dead-on pitch control. Today, we have very few in their league. Floor Jansen, obviously, and maybe Simone Simmons and Amy Lee. They seem to have gravitated to metal bands.

[@crossefire01]

It may be an extreme stance but, for my money, Ann is the best female vocalist (perhaps just the best vocalist) that I've ever heard.

[@bdheine2300]

She'll still blow you away.

[@Eloso3135]

Heart remains a powerhouse, saw them in concert several years ago and they still perform at an incredibly high level.

[@jeffreycollier3309]

First saw Heart in Spring of 1976 at UCSB Campus Stadium. Great show under the California along with Lynyrd Skynyrd and Jefferson Starship. Best show ever!

[@felpawgaming8767]

[@dalewier9735]

First heard Heart at the Cotten Bowl, July 4th, 1975, i think, Willy Nelson played after them, but i left after heart played because it was had to be 140° on the field. I was 14, drove there from 3 hours away. Times were very different. And yes Heart blew my mind they were so good. All of them. Also, at 8:52, you are hearing both Nancy and her sister in the harmony, not sure who sings what.

[@TheSlandis]

That guitar playing is insane.

[@pigpen5145]

I was 16 in 1976, and Heart was one of the super groups of that time. Totally loved them and still do.

[@vernhoke7730]

Saw them around this time, mid to late seventies.

[@rogue1290]

I saw them in concert many years ago. She is someone you have to see in person. Your speakers no matter how good cannot pick up the range that she can do in the life performance

[@bellies1000]

Music from the HEART always produces MAGIC!!!:):):)

[@carolmartin4413]

You couldn't have picked a better example of a female powerhouse from the 70's-80's. Heart exploded in 1976 with Dreamboat Annie...becoming the first hard rock band fronted by women. (my view). We saw her this summer in Wisconsin. She remains a solid sopranic voice tho her breath holding power has diminished... ..she's 73 and often sits down because of weakness. But when she sang Heart classics...all you heard was astounding applause. Aside: she appeared near Milwaukee the same weekend of Harley Davidson's 120th Anniversary...whose main performers were Green Day and Foo Fighters. She held her own.. giving a great performance 20 miles away. In the arena of classic rock...she is still a masterful jewel. Thanks for covering this most talented woman. 👏 😊

[@bearballin]

Fantastic analysis and breakdown, Beth. Heart live was the greatest rock concert experience (imo) in the 70s. I think two of Ann's over top live vocals performances were on: "Unchained Melody" and "I've Got the Music in Me".

[@jbs256]

Loved this Beth! Heart really was it back then. Struggling with a heart (the inside the chest one) condition can be a struggle. I unfortunately know first hand, still here. I hope one day again you’ll touch on Karen and her ability to sing like and angel and play the drums. That combination is so rare and name other females who did it, even rarer. The Carpenters appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1970 at Walter Reed Hospital in a live performance is maybe an exceptional example. I think it would make for an excellent analysis. I hope you agree. Trying to keep her spirit with us and you can provide the venue. Be well and Roar!

[@smallmj2886]

This is an unusual rendition of the song, with a lot more of the Joni Mitchell type folksy sound. Some other recordings have her broadening out to her full sound on every chorus.

[@lindsayheywood7195]

I noticed that too. I kept expecting her to bring the power, but she didn't.

[@jonnuanez7183]

Interesting that you mentioned Joni Mitchell because now I can't unhear that here. Joni had entered her jazz-pop era around this time with Court and Spark, but acoustic Joni wasn't too far back in time here.

[@stevevacek5155]

I really can't believe you haven't gone down the Moriah Formica rabbit hole yet. She is this generation's Ann Wilson and has one of the best voices in rock music today. Her band PLUSH is going to be opening for Disturbed and Falling in Reverse this Winter, and she is also a featured singer in Trans Siberian Orchestra. She literally sounds like a young Ann Wilson when singing any Heart song. Her versions of Barracuda and Crazy on You are sewn into KZbin history as being the best. She was also a 4 chair turn on The Voice at 16 singing Crazy on You. You really need to check her out - you won't be disappointed!!!!

[@auralfixxation6702]

I still think Ann Wilson is one of the greatest female rock vocalists. Try the song "Straight On" where her and Nancy have amazing harmonies.

Hope you've heard the studio version by now. This live one is fun - but the original album version is a tour de force. Not just Ann Wilson, but the whole band is on fire. Early/mid 70s Heart rules.

I did not know that Anne Wilson was multilingual. I'm a high school graduate, Army Veteran who without any formal education (I have in the past employed tudors)speaks Spanish, German, French, and Japanese, as well as a passing English. I'd rate myself as a good distance from fluent in Japanese. I'll make a fair number of grammatical errors if I don't speak very slowly. Of the other languages German is by far my strongest. I've had a couple Germans who were surprised to learn that I wasn't German

Also three of the members of First to Eleven are in a band called Concrete Castles which does original music.
