Heart - Crazy On You | FIRST TIME REACTION | (1977)

[@michaelsxr7442]

I love when Nancy at the end of her opening solo, grabs a guitar pick from the mic stand, pulls back and telegraphs to the audience "hang on to your butts, here it comes"!

[@PaulArk]

Heart emerged from an era when lead guitarists received just as much if not more spotlight as the vocalist. AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, The Runaways, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith. Heart was no exception. Nancy got mad respect.

[@stevenseul361]

Jeff Fisher was the lead guitarist for Heart.

[@Blackdog06019]

If you're referring to Joan Jett in The Runaways, she was the singer/rhythm guitarist.. not the lead guitarist.

[@PaulArk]

I stand corrected, but drives home the point: great guitarists, lead or not, got major respect during that golden era of rock in the 70s & 80s 🤘😜🤘

[@headlibrarian1996]

@@stevenseul361 I always thought it unusual that Nancy played rhythm not lead. Band founders almost always play lead.

[@dazedandconfusedconfused9500]

@@headlibrarian1996 Don't quote me on this but if I remember correctly, the band was pretty much already formed before Nancy came into the picture. I also remember reading something, that she preferred playing rhythm over lead.

[@zamdrist]

I've been in love with Ann and Nancy, Heart and their music for more than forty years. Such great musicianship!

[@WiseJoeGaming]

Great reaction! This is one of my favorite Heart songs. Such passion and energy. I got to see them in concert. It was great! I had a crush on Ann Wilson (I have always preferred the brunettes). When I saw them in concert it was during the time when drummers thought it was cool to throw their drumsticks to the crowd. In this case the drummer did not toss the drumstick, he threw it like he was in an axe throwing contest with immense velocity. It hit this girl in the eye. I saw them leading her out with a bandage over her eye. She had one hand on her eye and in the other hand she tightly clutched the drumstick. At the time I thought it was because she was such a big fan and I thought, "wow, such devotion." After many years I came to think that it was probably because she was holding it for evidence in a lawsuit. Crazy! (No pun intended)

[@troypullen7469]

Nancy is a classical trained guitar player... Besides singing similar to Ann and harmonizes perfectly with Ann. Must be genetics.... They are Really Amazing!

[@sourisvoleur4854]

Sibling harmony is a thing. A beautiful thing.

[@ZyggyZero]

Nancy sang their first and only #1 hit , “These Dreams”. They are very talented and are hometown heroes.

[@aj_aka_alan]

@@sourisvoleur4854 I'm thinking that they did grow up with a best friend who helped them wrote their earlier songs and treated her like a third sister.

[@thseed7]

Ann and Nancy are both phenomenally talented. When you said, "I want to listen to live performances" before this one, I can't imagine anyone was worried. Ann just beat cancer and hopes to be back to performing soon. The inducting Led Zeppelin into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance was brilliant. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant cried it was so beautiful.

[@davidgreer4615]

sure you don't mean the kennedy center honors?

[@gavinshickle1814]

I also think it was good to see Nancy have the spot light for a few minutes to show off her talent. Ann has such a powerful voice it's amazing.

[@KevinLockamy]

Nancy is no slouch in the vocals herself.

[@RyneMurray23]

Nancy absolutely kills it on that beautiful ovation acoustic guitar. Her strumming throughout the song is perfect 🔥🔥

[@normlee6566]

Yes, Ann Wilson belted that note. Correct term.

[@stephenreiner1523]

Two historically talented sisters from Seattle. You have to give a lot of credit to their father a career army man who invoked his girls to regular sing a longs. Hard to believe Ann stuttered as a child. Both of these women are incredibly talented as you can plainly see and hear.

[@johnkarsnick9294]

Nancy never plays the intro the same way twice, This is one of my Favorite intros...

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

Ann is the one for me. That voice is incredible and she's so beautiful. ❤❤

[@markoitmard]

One can just wonder what the full concerts were like. We need to go back

[@jollyjakelovell4787]

Nancy sings quite a few Heart songs, and many other she duets with sister Ann. 'These Dreams' being one of the more popular ones.

[@looslimb]

Nancy's guitar just knows it's going to have smoke coming off of it by the end of the song, but it's here for it! And yes, Ann can "belt" for sure.

[@dallassukerkin6878]

"I'm sensing a ballad ..." just give it a moment, dear lady :) First impressions can deceive sometimes :D Aah, Nancy - one of the greatest rhythm players we have seen in many a long decade.

[@GS-xt8fu]

Anna and Nancy are both very extremely talented ladies. There’s no doubt about that. There’s one thing I do like very much about you young lady… You don’t come right out and say it all the time but you appreciate real talent and not somebody who just sounds good in the studio. You want to hear them sing live? Me too!!!!L. I want to hear you live and I want to hear you naturally. I will than decide what I feel about your music

[@DrTomMD]

6:14 “And you don’t need to wonder. You’re doin’ fine. My love, the pleasure is mine”…fire that gives me chills, every time🔥

[@DavidTateVA]

Nancy Wilson with the wind in her hair and her acoustic guitar virtuosity stole my heart in 1980, and hasn't given it back yet. (And she does vocals -- backing vocals on most tracks, lead on some, she's a very good singer compared to anyone except Ann...)

[@dunringill1747]

You mentioned old school raw talent versus modern commercialized fireworks, glitz, glamour, and autotuned voices. I'm with you. Modern commercialized work is like eating plastic tasting processed cheese - Synthetic taste with no depth. Ann is one of Rock's finest vocalists. She has so much power, nuance, sustainability, and control in her singing voice. Nancy is also incredible .. and she can sing too. In fact, Nancy sings lead vocal on about 18 Heart songs.

[@Stogie2112]

I saw Heart during their "Bébé le Strange" tour (1980). It was their first album after Roger Fisher left the band. The show was really good, and the sound was fantastic. Their sound crew did an awesome job. It was virtually free of distortion. Joe Perry (from Aerosmith) was supposed to be the opening act, but he was a no-show. I think he called in drunk....

[@matthewcostello3530]

for that tour John Cougar opened and I had to work but Ann and Nancy came into my restaurant to ask for directions back to the arena

[@RealDiehl99]

I love the way Ann belts out "...sweet flowing LOOOOOVE"! Lots of passion in that. The song, "These Dreams", features Nancy's vocals. It was a very popular song in their 1980's (MTV) era. Just something to keep in mind for a future reaction or to satisfy your own curiosity.

[@pasteye1671]

Love Heart. Ann has the best rock-female voice ever, yet my favourite Heart track is These Dreams, ironically sung by Nancy with Ann on backing!

[@GregCombs100]

This was Heart's best song to perform live, throughout their career, it's just lots of energy. This performance is early, and with Nancy just rocking out on the acoustic guitar it makes the performance. It's not easy to play acoustic guitar that aggressively for several minutes, it takes a lot of strength and skill. Live performances are the best, especially at my age where I've been listening to these songs since high school, seeing a live performance gives you something different from what's been played on the radio a million times.

[@pablitoParrilla-i8n]

“Nancitaaaa” haha 😂 love the new video, this is such an iconic song by Heart

[@BisscuteReacts]

[@Keithjmcc]

Nancy plays the intro different every show. Saw them play in the 90s in post fall idaho. The best show I’ve ever seen. Just sow mellow and fun

[@JDale56]

Nancy is also a phenomenal singer. Check out “These Dreams” to hear her. Unfortunately, the studio version is unique because she had a cold when it was recorded giving her rendition a sultry edge to it.

[@BisscuteReacts]

Maybe in the future

[@johncorbin8519]

​@@BisscuteReactsCheck out the live in Seattle version, especially since you like watching bands live.

[@ZyggyZero]

It was their only #1 hit, oddly….

[@pokerface8242]

​@ZyggyZero Actually, These Dreams hit #1 in 1986 and Alone was their second #1 in 1987.

[@ZyggyZero]

@ Thank you. These Dreams was more properly stated as being 1st/only #1 on Adult Contemporary chart. Nice catch!

[@ThistleAndSea]

Heart is the real deal for sure. One of the best things to ever come out of Seattle! These were my high school years, and Ann & Nancy were all over the radio back then. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing tis one, Biss.

[@ChuckA-gk3cg]

Nancy is a guitar Goddess! Male or female, one of the best of the last 50 years!

[@3COLORSMUSIC-ul2cn]

I know this band thanks to your precise description, I noticed that the volume of the singer's microphone was low, the sound of the instruments stood out much more.🌺

[@herrzimm]

There are 3 elements that make a song "pure Heart sound". 1) Amazing vocals from Ann in general. 2) Stunning harmonies with Nancy/Ann that are breathtaking when isolated. 3) "Music drops" during a song that come out of nowhere and completely change not just the "vibe" of a song, but the energy of both the performers AND listeners at the same time. And "Crazy On You" and "Magic Man" are prime examples of these elements taking what would be a "decent/average song" to a completely different level of perfection.

[@Roh_Echt]

I went to, and saw Heart at, Cal Jam 2 (Mar. 1978). I was just 15yrs9mos and it was my first concert. Got dropped off the night before (about 9 or 10pm)...my older brother got lost getting us drinks before Santana (fourth in the lineup) performed...and then hitchhiked home to San Berdoo after Aerosmith was done (about 12 to 1am = approx. 27 hours later). Luckily someone responded to my "shout" at the tunnel exiting under the track; "anyone going to San Berdoo?" They ended up living just a few blocks from me and got me home. My brother ended up being sent to a hospital for his asthma.

[@mynameispaul0530]

Saw them live around 1977. Seriously talented rock band.

[@BisscuteReacts]

Lucky you

[@Stogie2112]

That was a dual lead guitar solo by lead guitarist Roger Fisher (on the right, by Nancy) and Howard Leese (on the far left). Howard Leese (keyboards, guitar) didn't get enough praise for what he did for the band. After Roger Fisher left, Leese took over the lead guitar position. He was very talented.

[@williamreiser3118]

Hello my favorite biscuit you're beautiful as always when this song came out I've actually been into Heart since they're very first album had a mad crush on Ann and Nancy Wilson also they have a lot of great songs

Every member of the band was exceptional. I had the privilege of seeing them live. They didn't need any show tricks or visual effects. They were just raw talent.

[@daviddodd7581]

I like them a lot. Grazie, beautiful Biss. Nice reaction

[@BlueDragon53]

I love the harmony guitar solos, there are a lot of this in the 70s many bands had multiple guitars drums bass sometimes two keyboardists created lots of layering in the music great fills. Sadly missing in more recent stuff. Always enjoy your reactions Biss

[@Stogie2112]

Biss, your next Heart assignment is "Magic Man" - their best song ever, in my opinion! The song is 5 minutes, 30 seconds long, but many videos cut the song in half. I hope you can find the full version of the song. "Crazy On You", "Magic Man" and "Barracuda" are Heart's best works, IMO. I have never grown tired of them after all these years.

[@BisscuteReacts]

Maybe in the future

[@JustDave59]

I had never heard of Heart when I first saw them in concert in the summer of 1976, opening for Bachman Turner Overdrive at the Indiana State Fair. Other than Bruce Springsteen, I can't remember another live performance making such a strong and lasting impression. Keep up the great work, Biss!

[@boosuedon]

I LOVE Nancy! She is super cool!

[@robinfoster7597]

Another great reaction, thanks Biss. :)

[@dansavoie5087]

Heart is a exciting band with fantastic energy and talent. Vocals and guitar in their music is outstanding. Big fan of their music. Ms. Bisscute reacting to a song from the 50's, 60's, 70's or even some of the 80's live as your first reaction would be a second reaction to those who grew up in these decades. Our first reaction to a song during those decades would come from the radio or a friend who had an album, 8 -track or cassette and introduced us to the song the first time. "Live" would be our second reaction to a song, band or soloist. If your interested in reacting to a song released by record labels to radio and stores as the same first reaction experience we had during these times then live would be a second listen. Concert tours with multiple venues and large audiences came after a song, band or soloist became popular. ✌️

[@twoheart7813]

My fave lyrics from the song: I was a willow last night in a dream I bent down over a clear running stream Sang you the song that I heard up above And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love

[@thomashiggins9320]

When Nancy kicks that leg up and starts to rock, it makes me happy. 😎 That was definitely a "belt." I've always thought about the difference between this song and "Barracuda." Which man would someone rather be? The absolute *fool* who inspired that song, or the righteous dude who treated a woman *so good* he inspired this one? 😁

This is some earlier music from Heart. Magic Man, Barracuda, etc are from around the same time. One earlier song that I always loved was "Dog and the Butterfly." It's a softer song. I was fortunate to see Ann & the band in concert once minus Nancy due to her pregnancy & it was still an awesome show. That was around 1990, I think. Always loved them.

[@thecreepypastapoet3673]

There already is a third Wilson sister, Lynn. She is the oldest and was only in their first band when they were kids (ages 10, 14, 18). However, she did do some background vocals on some of the Heart albums. On the "Private Auditions" album song "Perfect Stranger" you can briefly hear all three sisters in harmony; and on song "The Situation" the lone vocal on the chorus is Lynn's. "Cry To Me" on their album "Little Queen" has a lot of 3-sister vocals.

This is what use to be called a power balled. You can hear Nancy sing on the song "these dreams" and she is no slouch either.

[@Stogie2112]

A power ballad? I disagree. It's too up-tempo. Power ballads are slower-tempo, romantic rock songs to which people often "slow dance". "These Dreams" is definitely a power ballad.

And if we're going Lovemongers too she sings lead on: Love of the Common Man Miracle Girl No School Today Elysian Hurry Up, Healer Christmas Songs: Christmas Waits Balulalow She also sings lead on a handful of rare live tracks such as "For Your Love", "She Still Believes", "Friend Meets Friend", "Girl with Notebook", "Life Line", "You Wreck Me", "Letting Go", and others.
