Classical Composer Reaction and Analysis | Heart (Crazy On You) | The Daily Doug (Episode 383)

[@guitarizt68]

There is absolute power and majesty in this performance; and make no mistake - they were at an advanced stage of perfecting their craft, and each member DELIVERS. The energy and cohesiveness is just SO palpable! If this doesn't give you goosebumps, you many want to check yourself for a pulse! They were a force with which to be reckoned and could flat out destroy SO much of their contemporary competition! Despite the misogyny with which the sisters/band had to contend from narrow-minded critics and insecure men, the world ignored that noise and instead recognized the musical talent and gifts they shared and elevated them to the status of legends - deservedly so. I, for one, am grateful.

[@joecrowaz]

Ann and Nancy... We didn't want to date the Beatles. We wanted to BE the Beatles!

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

One of the greatest music openings extant. Beautiful for her slow stoking buildup to a massive crescendo of power. Some excellent live versions of Nancy just driving this song into the sonic stratosphere satisfying our souls. But it's her post solo signature kick for me man.

[@truthisstrangerthanfishin7472]

The choreography of the video is incredible as well! What a performance! When Nancy tossed her pick and then got into the knee bend...damn...for me one of the most inspiring moments in rock and roll...maybe I'm weird but that moment gets me and I watch just feeling an energy that is pure joy.

[@StevesFunhouse]

Yeah, that's the effect it was supposed to have, and why she was obviously NOT doing ANY of the lead (electric) playing you hear, other than the acoustic opening ... the one that Roger Fisher stole from the Moody Blues and taught her how to play.

[@pokerface8242]

@@StevesFunhouse So was she supposed to play acoustic and electric here? That's why they had Fisher and Howard Leese. Who cares where the influences came from? Nancy turned this intro (and strum pattern) into one of the most iconic pieces of music in rock history. But haters gonna hate.

[@StevesFunhouse]

@@pokerface8242 and ignoramuses gonna be ignorant ... I don't hate her, I just don't appreciate prima donnas, especially when they are ignoring their REAL talent to pretend they are someone else or have the talents that those other, REAL musicians are delivering. She should have been happy being in, and representing, the group. I would have cheered her on and respected her far more, if she had only concentrated on representing herself. They have songs where she shows off her beautiful voice, and, contrary to your idiot ranting, I think she killed the opening. I just don't appreciate her taking all the credit for it and pretending that she was the sole lead "guitarist" throughout the entire rest of the song. When you do that, you're being selfish and conceited, and guilty of trying to steal the thunder from the people who actually deserve it for the contributions THEY made, and I have no time or respect for that kind of BS. You go ahead and play her talent agent and promoter, but you're being unrealistic ... and were never offered that job. So, why are you so shallow and so insistent on shielding her ??? Are you trying to protect her honor, her feelings, her deceit or all these things ??? No one liked Milli Vanilli when it was found out that they really didn't sing their songs, and no one likes or respects singers as much, once they find out that their voices are "autotuned". So why are you sticking up for her ??? We aren't "the person" who faked their way through all those music videos, pretending that the rest of the band was insignificant and unimportant. With that in mind, it looks to me like YOU'RE the hater. I just called the balls and strikes ... you just didn't like the call (i.e. the truth). That's not my problem ... it's yours !!!

[@Don-Jack]

@@pokerface8242 It's just another example of misogynistic douches putting her down to this day. Roger adds one simple progression to the song based on the structure laid out by the sisters and suddenly he was "teaching her how to play" lol. By the way, it was Howard who came up with the harmonic solo and taught Roger to play his part, and the solo was based on Ann's vocalization on the demo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYq6oqRnYtaYeNU

[@pokerface8242]

@@Don-Jack Thank you Don. It's never been my intention to diss Roger Fisher's contributions to the band but these guys who continually portray Nancy as his "student" (my word) having to be taught how to play the music she helped write, or as a pretty prop whose guitar wasn't plugged in, have ticked me off for years. And apparently to some, if you're not playing electric lead, you're inconsequential. Which is total bs.

[@Alewifes_Husband]

Silver Wheels was not the original opening section for Crazy On You -- but it showed up on 1980's BeBe LeStrange record as its own song. It's longer than what she plays of it here; she then goes into the more Spanish-flavored "regular" intro; then into a song from Dog & Butterfly called "Hijinx" which is the funky bit; then back into the Spanish stuff. Great intro!

[@goopah]

Heart came out of the gate STRONG on this first album. Not a weak track on it. I actually bought it because of the album jacket with two stunning ladies on it, and hoped the music would be good. I was 15 then. And I became an instant fan, because the music was just as beautiful as those ladies. Fantastic musicians and songwriters. The entire band was superb.

[@FisherBrosandtheHumanTribe]

Enjoyed your insight into Crazy On You, Doug. Thanks for diving deep. It's been amazing to see Heart's longevity, but it is deserved, as we all truly tried to bring something valuable and energized to the world. Very relevant to this day. "I was a willow last night in my dream, I bent down over a clear running stream, I sang you the song that I heard up above and you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love." That is one of my favorite lines in all of rock, absolute brilliance! When you're the guitarist in a band with Ann and Nance, you bring it, 100% every performance.

Fantastic arraignment at the Kennedy center in regard to Stairway to Heaven. Wonderful to watch.

[@kendallneason3645]

Favorite male rock singer Freddie Mercury. Favorite female rock singer Anne Wilson. Both gorgeous singers with amazing guitarists and bands backing them!

[@inspectorvol951]

We saw them a few years ago in small venue before the sisters had their falling out. They played this song and it was during this opening solo I figured out why they keep performing…….they love it! Nancy was teasing the crowd by playing right up to main riff that leads into the song and then veer off into another area building anticipation. She did this 3-4 times and I noticed Ann just kind of leaned back on the elevated drum stage watching and smiling. Just pure joy after all those years and decades of performing!

[@ausman05]

Finally got to see Heart live in concert few years ago when they opened for Def Leppard, went to see them and stayed to watch Def Leppard, Ann Wilsons voice is just heavenly to listen to.

[@anthonyross9471]

Saw the show on that same tour. Atlanta- 4 hours late start due to weather. While waiting for the show to start, we struck up a conversation with some fans. Turns out they represented three generations. The grandmother was approximately my age-early fan. Then the mother and the daughter. How great is your music when you affect generations?

[@wallnut6666]

Yes, Kat Hendrikse is playing drums on the studio recording of the song. But Heart's permanent full time drummer after the release of their first album, (which this song is from) was Michael Derosier. He is playing drums in this live performance.

[@michaelbaucom4019]

Michael DeRosier was on drums...this version is the best version of " Crazy On You "...Nancy always does some variation of this intro live...that kicking her foot to start...just sexy power, and rock and roll epitomized. Ann...still stuns and amazes Try " Mistral Wind " , Heart doing a bit of prog rock, with a great mix of acoustic, then electric, guitars

[@thembill8246]

Dreamboat Annie is so overlooked as one of those absolute masterpiece albums of the '70s... Hell, of any time

[@dubblwide]

Yep, DeRosier.

[@bluesaloon]

Waiting for the kick is one of the best parts when seeing this live.

[@Jessica_Roth]

Yes, Hendrikse played on the album track (DeRosier was the last to join the band), but he never toured with them, IIRC.

[@rkb2092]

Mistral Wind is my favorite. I saw them do that one in '79. First show of the Dog and Butterfly tour.

[@JimFinley11]

In that extended beginning solo, in the passage right before she finally committed to Crazy On You, Nancy Wilson slipped in some melodic material that landed in their later album Dog and Butterfly. My first wife and I had that album's title song played at our wedding. As for the world right now (4/28/2022), it's a melancholy thing. People who don't have compassion and empathy should never have the power to start wars. I'm learning that having loved ones who are young, starting out, and - what worries me - of military age, is a whole lot scarier than being in uniform myself ever was. My grandson is 21 and a brand new father, and when I see the news footage of young families and young soldiers in Ukraine I can envision him in the middle of that kind of nightmare. I feel for those young families and for their parents and grandparents - they were just trying to live their lives and got this dropped on them. It makes me reflect on what it must have been like for my parents - my brothers and I all served as Marines, and I was in for twenty years. I wonder now how much worry my brothers and I caused for them. My grandson has talked about enlisting - I hope he doesn't.

[@normandaubry]

Roger Fischer, Ann’s boyfriend at the time is the lear guitar on this. He is a bit forgotten now, but at the time he was very, very highly regarded as a lead guitar. He left after this tour and the band was never as good again. The drummer, Michael Desrosiers, was Nancy’s boyfriend. He and Steve Fossen left also at that time. Nancy’s intro was slightly different than the original because she inserted in there a part of the intro to the song Hijinx, from the Dog & Butterfly album their best and most mature album in my mind. This live video is from the Dog & Butterfly tour.

[@brittanybrown5058]

Ann’s boyfriend was mike Fischer the manager at the time . His brother Roger is the guitar player .

[@dhfenske]

I thought I recognized 3 or 4 little motifs from other songs of theirs in her intro. Does anyone know what they all are?

[@thomascarter2922]

Awesome performance. You don't see new groups like this anymore.

[@JasonSmith-lp6wg]

I gotta tell you: that opening solo is amazing; the way she worked in those harmonics is so cool. Thanks for the review.

[@joeldf6859]

Always love the way Nancy switches from a thumbpick during the main part of her solo to the regular pick to strum the "Crazy On You" opening riff. Here she tosses the thumbpick to the ground and grabs a regular pick off the mic stand. For their performance at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHPUkId-ibyBg5Y&start_radio=1 - she grabs the pick from behind her ear. There's another video around here where she's reaching into her shirt near her shoulder and taking it out of her bra-strap.

[@DRRwine]

Nancy is including riffs from Hijinx in that intro - nice touch!

[@MDIman42]

Great find, Megan! Of course I have heard this song many (many, many) times. But seeing that crazy acoustic guitar work just made me smile. Thank you, Doug!

[@DanielSmith-pq4yc]

Heart is a perfect mixture of Ann's incredible vocals and Nancy's incredible instrumental talent. They were a great example of showing women can do this too both are legends of music

[@walidfilan2998]

Heart is one of the oldest women bands was formed in the mid of 70's and they became famous of this song and HEART is a band which really touch your heart

[@alfwalker5698]

Wilson sisters - such vocal talent.... crazy.

[@jfernsten]

Wilson was an acoustic demon on this, her triceps had to be made of steel. If you can, give side 2 of the Little Queen album a vinyl, uninterrupted listen. Especially "Go On Cry" and "Cry to Me"; I've always considered those tracks 'sister songs' that should gave been back to back on the album.

[@richardfox7073]

You mentioned Michael Fisher as Ann's lover, he was the inspiration for Magic Man. Nancy started dating Roger Fisher (lead guitarist) but both relationship fell apart and they booted Roger out of the band and went from a 6-piece to a 5-piece with Howard Leese taking over the lead guitar duties. Roger Fisher is really an underrated guitarist by the way.

[@joelhammond4162]

Yes, in my opinion, the band was never quite same without Roger. He had phenomenal tone and sustain, great vibrato and utilized some interesting tunings, and came up with very creative and interesting licks. Howard Leese was solid, but definitely not the lead player that Roger was. I get why the girls kicked him out and dumped Michael as the manager, the whole band had some of that Fleetwood Mac type turmoil going on. I wish they could have avoided that, at least with Roger, so that the original band might have stayed together longer. They just had a great chemistry musically. It would have been interesting to see what material they would have continued to write and come up with together. Most likely it would not have changed the outward label pressures that occurred in the 80s and the push to use outside song writers. Of course, many of those songs were catchy, commercial and easy to listen to, and some became huge hits that have had some longevity to them. Many were memorable, great to sing along to and great for the arena rock of the day. That said, IMO they were just not as creative and interesting or diverse as their original band material from the 70s, but that can also be said about lot 80s music compared to the 70s. Still, great band, great career, and not taking anything away from what they’ve accomplished in totality. Without a doubt, Ann Wilson is one of the greatest rock voices of all time and it’s not apparent that has lost much if anything with age. Sadly, I was too young to see Heart in the 70s, but I’ve seen them multiple times from the late 80s-2000s and they still rock and put on a good show. Always enjoy there choice of covers as well. Nice to hear Ann voice on those.

[@daveqr]

@@joelhammond4162 Roger was really responsible for their sound. Listen to his solo stuff, it sounds just like Heart without Ann on vocals.

[@genboomxer]

Ann Wilson is untouchable.

[@Pix2GoStudios]

As a teen in the early 80's, my friends had the Farrah Fawcett and Loni Anderson (etc) posters. I had Ann and Nancy. I'd still have one if my wife would let me. I still remember my dad bringing home their first album in 1976. It was the beginning of my dad and I not only being father and son, but becoming friends. I'll always thank him for sharing his love of music with me.

[@jimmyggs91]

Oh yes, Ann Wilson, what a singer... And a legendary band as well. You know who's a big fan of Ann and Heart, she even did some covers on her channel? Floor Jansen

[@anjizetland-von-kiesel3346]

Can't compare Floor to Ann. Ann is a real rock chick with a powerful voice and it is so natural to her. She is just an awesome singer.

[@IllumeEltanin]

Enjoyed this immensely, Dr. Doug. Thanks for the suggestion, Meg!

[@jasonmeadors3524]

Lovely. Ann Wilson is nonpareil in her vocals. Doug, I know that you likely will never see this in the mass of responses. But The Daily Doug and The Charismatic Voice are the two reaction video channels that I watch more regularly because you both dive into the music itself and leave me knowing more at the end of the video than I knew going in. You should go to that channel and hear Elizabeth's dissection of this song. You both have very different approaches, both revelatory, but she has commentary on the vocals in this song that I believe you'd find fascinating. I did. Good work, sir. Keep it up.

I'm glad Doug didn't say "I've never heard this song before" because there's no way I would've believed him. 🙂

[@robertsimmons3336]

I have seen Heart live 5 times. They are fantastic live. When I was 10 I was just starting to play drums and guitar. Growing up listening to a male dominated rock genre at the time. I remember my older sister saying that women could rock too. Being a little naive jerk I said, "No. Women can't rock like the guys can." She got a mad look on her face but without saying a word she brought an album out of her room and said, "Listen to this!" It was Heart Little Queen. I put on the headphones and was met by Barracuda! This song rocked my world and I began feasting on crow as each song played. I absolutely apologized and we had a discussion about stereotypes and misogyny. My little 10 year old mind learned some valuable life lessons that day! And so definitely yes Women CAN absolutely rock and from that day on Heart became one of my favorite bands. I own all their albums and see them live whenever I get a chance! I love the women who rock series you are doing and I hope it will open the minds of many young musicians who will see it and inspire young ladies to rock!!

[@reghunt2487]

04:05 that is a guitar part from the song "Hijinx". Check out the "Dog and Butterfly" album sometime. I saw them live in 1978, it was amazing.

[@cannonball666]

Ann's voice projection is mind-blowing. And damn was she cute in the 70s.

[@laserfloyd]

I'd never heard that live version. They killed it! Especially that opening with bonus riffs and improv.

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

Enjoyed your reaction. Their 2012 authorized autobiography was so informative. Heart was formed in 1963 by Roger Fisher & Steve Fossen. They hired Ann Wilson in 1970 and Nancy Wilson in 1974. The Wilson sisters didn't take control of Heart until October of 1979, when Roger Fisher was voted out of the band. Such a cool book to read.

[@Christy_Abner]

This is my favorite live!! The interactions between the band is so dynamic!!

[@petervanginkel326]

Heart's Dreamboat Annie was the first album I bought and owned. Later followed by A Farewell to King of Rush. These are still in the list of my favorite albums and not just for sentimental reasons. My youth was great, partly because of this music. Good to hear these albums so close together on the Daily Doug. They're always meant to be listened sequentially. Over and over again.

Pretty sure that's Mike DeRosier on drums. 1978 was the Dog & Butterfly tour and even by the Little Queen album, Mike D had pretty much replaced Kat Hendricks on the drums. Kat played on the studio version, though!

[@somersetcace1]

I was never really a fan of heart, aside from some of their key hits, until 1985. I bought tickets to see them when they were touring for the album `Heart,` for a girl who was a big fan. Half way through the show I practically forgot she was there. Then they did three zeppelin covers in their encore, marvelously, and I've been an avid fan ever since! As for the girl, well, it was a fun night anyway.

[@emjem99]

Ann Wilson was my generation's Floor Jansen. And she's still fantastic. Nancy - a great guitarist, period!

[@sullivan-pughvideoproducti5531]

Ann Wilson has always had some of the best pipes in the business. She didn’t lose any range over time.

[@EddieReischl]

Always loved Nancy's intro piece, and how she attacks the beginning of the main song rhythmically, it's a little out of my normal comfort zone playing-wise, but that made it interesting to listen to and practice getting better at it. The two sisters look absolutely gorgeous here as well, natural beauties with the wind blowing their hair all around, the late 70s were kind of awesome.

[@MiguelLopez-is9te]

💜 Loved your reaction! Such a great song. In their 2012 autobiography, Ann said she wrote the lyrics to Crazy On You and gave them to Roger & Nancy. Roger & Nancy had no problem putting music to it.

[@MrCherryJuice]

As noted further below, Michael Desrosier is drumming. Kat Hendrikse did the recording session prior to Desrosier joining the band (he was the last to do so). Also, the mix of acoustic and electric can be heard back in the early Beatles, where either George or John supplemented the electric sound of the other with their Gibson acoustics. Led Zeppelin, a massive influence on Ann and Nancy - even more notably on Desrosier - were big on the acoustic-electric mix. It is somewhat ironic that even Beatles tribute bands often overlook the importance of the acoustic guitar to the band's early sound. Also, though so much focus is justifiably on the Wilson sisters, this was a killer band, with Roger Fisher (Mike's brother) such a creative force in the studio and driving force onstage. The band was never the same after his ejection.

[@misterghee1]

That's how my girl got me all the way out of my head singing this great Rocker 2 me, ah were still friends 😍crazy on y'all

[@scottstevens7639]

I believe this was the ‘Dog and Butterfly’ tour. The reason I believe this is both because I saw them on this tour and because Nancy inserted the riff from one of the tracks from ‘Dog and Butterfly’ into the middle of the acoustic intro.

[@pjones8404]

This original band was one of the most brilliant in the history of Rock. Fisher, DeRoiser, Fossen and Leese are GROSSLY underappreciated for what they did for Heart. Heart was never the same after they were ousted. They were the soul of Heart. Yes Ann and Nancy are spectacular but it was the combination of them and THIS band that made Heart who they were. Want instant proof? They did two performances at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One with a reunited band and once with their current band. In one moment, a band that hadn't played together in decades sounded like it was 1977 all over again while their current band was sluggish and lacked any feel whatsoever. Michael DeRoiser is one of the greatest rock drummers ever. While there is only John Bonham, Michael was the closet to Bonzo I have ever heard!! Stunning player and the reason why all these vintage Heart songs sound so amazing!!

[@jonathonedwardmiller]

The acoustic intro to this song is up there for me as one of the best intros to any song

[@AlexandreAmenoPiano]

This song reminds me Iron Maiden songs, the number one band that i hear in my life. Where eagles dare have a mention of barracuda in his solos! And bruce dickinson said in a interview that Ann Wilson is one of he favourites singers of all time!! Thank you to reminds me this band. I think i have to listen more of then!

[@Jessica_Roth]

"Silver Wheels" eventually appears on its own, on "Bebe LeStrange", the group's fourth album. (Or fifth, if you count "Magazine", but that's a whoooooole other story…) I love how after the spotlight's been on Nancy for most of the song, at the end Roger Fisher just goes tearing across the stage, as if to remind people that he's there, too. (What makes it even more fun is that the two of them were dating at the time.) Also, I suspect Anne of telling a few fibs about her great love for Mike Fisher, but I do think she's being honest about how Ford-era stress was the genesis of the song. (A rather different sound from Billy Joel's "Miami 2017", which was born out a similar issue.)

[@Liz.Green789]

Always a great concert. This song is always a highlight of their concerts.

She did an absolutely magnificent job singing Stairway to Heaven at that tribute to Led Zeppelin, and every time the cameras went to Robert Plant, he was enraptured - he had reportedly said that he didn't like other people's covers of that song, but he loved hers. As did everyone else in the place.

This is an amazing song for sure. I love the electric guitar parts. It reminds me so much of Mike Nesmith. He has a song called Michagin Blackhawk. Similar guitar styles. But this is such a great dynamic song and so good Eminem used some of it on his song with same title. Rock on love the commentary too.
