BARRACUDA Live HEART 1977

[@kaleoy7584]

In my honest opinion, this song is THE ultimate rock song.

[@WayPastCrazy2525]

I agree. It has everything - stellar vocals, awesome lyrics, kick-ass intro, smoking drums, and just a heart-pumping, jammy-jam vibe. This song NEVER gets old!

[@jeffreylorien6687]

@@WayPastCrazy2525 and the lyrics, which i didn't really understand for a long time, are killer. i recommend to fans to read the book, "kickin and dreaming". it charts their entire story from when they were kids to the current time. it sheds light on a LOT of their inner story. it is great. and very inspirational.

[@alancarver2511]

Funny. I always thought the same thing. Best groove, guitar riff, drum beat, sound and best female rock singer ever.

[@Wendell309]

I will say it is definitely a damn good rock song. It is among the cream of the crop for sure.

[@LittleQween65]

Badass frontwoman! Knows how to getthe audience going! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

OMG! Ann was so Hot back then and she rocked too. So was her sister Nancy! Incredible! 🎸👏🏻😎

[@donnaanderson7954]

I believe that this is the best live version I've ever heard! ❤

[@tenlittleindians]

Anyone else wonder what happened? Concerts would roll into the local venues almost monthly and ticket prices were so low we went to see them all. Heart one week, Dan Fogelberg another. A huge variety of music, musicians, light shows and stage props. We enjoyed them all. You went through your drawer for a tee shirt to wear and picked from the stacks of bands you have seen in the past.

Greed happened

[@kekwayblaze3176]

@@RobertDickens2002 Plus cost of everything from travel, insurance, employee salaries, fees to venues, fees to concert promoters, just a few things that factors in concert ticket prices.

[@Classic_Rock_Station]

Napster. Or, more specifically, file sharing. Some take it back as far as mix tapes. Eventually, any of these practices resulted in loss of physical record sales, which (back then) provided the lion's share of an artist's income. Today, hardly anyone buys physical music so bands make up for it by jacking up the price of concerts and merchandise (the only aspects where they control who gets what). In fact, most rock fans feel they should get their music for free (or a Spotify subscription - and don't get me started on those jerks). This phenomenon is less prevalent in other music genres. Surveys and polls bear this out. Gone are record stores, FM station promos, label scouts... remember when it seemed any band with a following would get a record deal? I'm rambling but if you want more detail, check out a guy named Tom Grey who is leading the charge to try and get money from streaming back into the wallets of the artists (you know, the people actually making the content). mixmag.net/feature/brokenrecord-music-industry-streaming-labels-artists-exploitation-equitable-renumeration

[@maryhadalamb321]

This has got to be the most energizing not just song, but also the performance. Ann definitely leading Wilson/Fisher directly into guitar duo magic. This Barracuda has it's own life 🌠

Nancy Wilson as an Angel, Ann is a Godess....

[@ScottGarland-r4v]

This was exceptional. A rare moment when Heart , on all cylinders , keeps it fresh in a powerful , spine - tingling way. All guitarists are on fire here. Ann is at her best. Nancy is just sweet Nancy. What a delight. Thank you Heart ❤️ , for over FIVE , ( 5 ) , DECADES , of brilliance. We stand in awe , as we've always have. ❤❤❤

[@aisle_of_view]

That Ann has some pipes, one of the pantheon of greats. Roger is awesome for releasing this footage.

[@jprph1]

Great lead playing in this version start to finish !

[@jprph1]

Saw you guys May 14, 1977 in Erie PA. I was in 8th grade. Life changing show. Nice of you (Roger) and Nancy to sign my Dreamboat Annie cover before the show bye the bus. This materially you’ve been posting is gold and brings back many fond memories... THANK YOU !

[@sabasufyana]

This is such a goldmine. Thank you so much Roger for finally letting all of us see this. Please upload the entire concert if you can!

[@facedownchuck]

YES YES YES!!

[@reddragon3733]

I was at their concert in Oregon. One of the Greatest Live Rock Bands Ever. I can still feel the ringing in my ears and the burns on my thumb from holding the lighter up for an Encore. What memories! What a Fantastic Experience see Heart Live!

[@treebs9516]

So upset I haven't been able to see heart play live...A reunion tour would be a dream come true

[@RobAnthonyDire]

The performance of crazy on you when they got inducted into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame was amazing. Even after not playing together for decades they were tight as ever

[@LewisVinyl]

Next year is the 50th anniversary, expect something next year

[@jacksnapp]

In retrospect, Roger Fisher may have been the best rock guitarist I’ve seen live. I saw this show in ‘77 and 13/14 year old me had no idea what I was witnessing. I saw Randy Rhoads next to last show @ the Boutwell in B’ham, I’ve seen Eddie and Ronnie Montrose, and this guy had the same factor the tone , the chops, the presence. This whole band was good live. I just realized where this upload originated, and thank you for sharing this with us. More please -

[@forcaehonra9741]

Amazing voice of magic woman!!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@stilllearning5159]

I love some of Heart"s later stuff but in my opinion heart was at their best during the Dream Boat Annie / Little Queen era . Saw the at the first Texas Jam and Lake Charles La but i cant remember when .

[@LewisVinyl]

Yeah I’d say they folded in the 80’s, best with the original lineup

[@ScottGarland-r4v]

Ann here , it scary perfect. Followed Heart ❤️❤️ since they started. Ann's voice right here sends shivers down my spine and up into my brain ‼️‼️‼️ Other worldly. I love you Ann ❤️❤️‼️‼️‼️

[@ChildOfThe1970s]

Best rock into ever. This band was simply incredible, my favorite from the 70s.

[@suefields4254]

Everyone looks so genuinely happy. I was lucky enough see this tour as a teenager and remember just being in awe.

[@willswalkingwest7267]

Ann Wilson is my spirit animal.

[@NMRawker]

Notice Nancy is stage left in this but after she was stage right.

[@joyk555]

NMRawker I think it wasn't until Heart's return in 2002, after the hiatus she took since '95, and with the absence of Howard Leese, in that position, that she took over (Ann's) right side, leaving the left side to the guys (bass and electric guitar).

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

I can fee Ann's rage when the band plays. The energy is visceral.

[@reddragon3733]

I was at their concert in Oregon. One of the Greatest Live Rock Bands Ever. I can still feel the ringing in my ears and the burns on my thumb from holding the lighter up for an Encore. Yes, you could bring lighters and other things to light up, into stadiums back in 77! What memories! What a Fantastic Experience to see Heart Live!

[@l_Live_In_Oregon]

I remember hearing this at the Seattle Memorial Stadium (outdoor) for the Little Queen tour. That band lineup was off the hook. Heart, Foreigner, Tower of Power, Stephen Bishop and Prism. Concert ticket was $8. Saw them 2 years later New Years Eve 1979 at the Seattle Coliseum with Head East. Head East broke up after this tour. Heart changed direction in the 80s. Glad I saw those shows in the 70s!

[@davecorr4421]

So epic.. this time in history. I'm 59 now.. Just reeling back the years! All those bands... Incredible!

[@doctordetroit4339]

Wow.....Talented beyond words....I love Zep, it's in my DNA....Heart took it to an "11"!!!

[@anthonymeneses2827]

If the time is ripe, as many Heart fans wish, a reunion concert of the original members of Heart should be held even for one night only. A lot of Heart fans have been craving for years for this to happen.

[@RobAnthonyDire]

That would be epic. However, one night only? Maybe if it’s live streamed or something. But a whole tour would be amazing

[@darter59tx]

Has always been my favorite Heart song since the first time I heard it on the radio in 1977,did not see Heart Live till 1978 at the 1st Texxas Jam @ the Cotton Bowl and I was not let down when y'all played Barracuda.

[@tb0yp]

Awesome 😎

[@georgebarry8640]

Its just beyond me that Anne and Nancy don't see the difference between what they had..and what they have now. As time goes on..the legacy will be remembered as "All I want to do.." and not "Mistral Wind". "Tell it like it is" not "Barracuda". There is a marked difference. It's the difference of ART versus commerce. It is Magic versus the Market. While there is still time...They should reconvene. In a rehearsal room. No cameras. No press. Just throw some ideas around. See if there is one last masterpiece left in them. THEN RETIRE. Let the World know: HEART stands up there with the innovative greats. They may have started imitating Tull, Zep and others...but one more masterpiece would prove THEY EXCEEDED THEM ALL.

[@sabasufyana]

They know the difference. But I have a feeling both Ann and Nancy want to move away from what they created in the past, in their twenties, to do something that's more in sync with who they are now. I think they kinda burnt their fingers doing things they were expected to back in the 80s and just want full creative control at all costs. It sucks for fans but I don't blame them for it one bit

[@TheDmonet]

@@sabasufyana They are probably tired of hearing how much everything they did sucked after this version of the band died. They have egos and pride in line with anyone else who has had major success. They don't need to reunite...they themselves aren't even on the best terms these days after the tour bus choking drama from 2016. They have fans who will come out to see them play individually whether Roger Fisher is there or not. We all know this version of Heart is the version that put them in the R&R HOF, but they have no personal need to acknowledge or honor that. It's unfortunate for the fans but you have to face reality.

The gift of modern life is the internet and the ability to see any band, any concert, any year. I usually watch the live performances of songs the year they came out. That's when the performers are at their best in presenting a new song to the public live. Like Van Halen live in 1978 or Heart 1976....amazing. I hope we never lose the internet and it becomes holographic 3D.

[@kimchandler]

Feeling the joy!! Heart that got my attention, all members I consider original although Howie came after the originals. Great guitar work on this Roger--the lead is all yours!! Bought all except 80s MTV crap. Skipped to 90s more back to a Ann&Nancy feel with Black on Black through their last release as Heart. Def check out Jupiters Darling- a favorite A&N release without originals but Craig Bartock did good work on it. It's a great album that takes you on a trip like their first albums!

[@moutazmattar2307]

Wow this is more heavy and longer version love it

[@tripprogers4814]

We pretty much know how Roger feels about it..and Ann for that matter..but I’m gonna say it to all of the past members, including Derosier, Fossen and Leese and especially Nancy: If Pink Floyd can get back together for a night or two, then you guys should be able to make it work just one more time before it’s TOO LATE! P L E A S E ! !

I thought that was a really decent album...
