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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@RyneMurray23]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@normlee6566]

Yes, Ann Wilson belted that note. Correct term.

[@johnkarsnick9294]

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

[@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...)

[@boosuedon]

I LOVE Nancy! She is super cool!

[@ChuckA-gk3cg]

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

[@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?

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@dvsreed]

When Nancy sings lead she is very good and Ann is a decent guitarist. Being a guitarist myself I always preferred Nancy but both are great.

[@SG-js2qn]

So much that is great in that song. Love the extended intro that they do in that live version, and also the outro, which is probably a little better in the studio version.

[@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.

[@mynameispaul0530]

Saw them live around 1977. Seriously talented rock band.

[@BisscuteReacts]

Lucky you

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

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

[@PatBlackwell-z3i]

Yes I've had the privilege to be a spotlight operator for a Heart show a couple of times in my 35 years as a Union theatrical stage technician local 264 and 285

[@joshuatrejo7732]

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

[@BisscuteReacts]

[@JoyceStrayhorn]

Hi Biss for those who don't like live you would not get the first part with Nancy at the beginning ❤😊.

[@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

there are at least a dozen songs where Nancy sings lead and she is awesome too! These Dreams may be the most well known.

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.

The 70s and 80s were the best decades for music in my opinion Great reaction bisscute

[@jennastorm4785]

But the 70s and 80s wouldn't have had all that great music if it weren't for the revolutionary changes in music that went on in the 60s. So for me, I have to add the 60s too.

​@jennastorm4785 that's a fear point jenna

[@srt8rocketship241]

Nancy's skills were up front since the beginning of this band. Lets just agree that Ann's range is phenomenal.

[@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!

[@glpf5]

Thanks for the video, I love your reactions! I would also suggest "Straight On" by Heart as it's just really funky and the harmonies are incredible!

[@BisscuteReacts]

Thank you, glad you loved the reactions

[@marcelkuijper8240]

This band will always be amazing! Ann is one of only three female singers that can give me goosebumps when she belts out those high notes. The other two are Skin (Skunk Anansie) and Floor Jansen (Nightwish)

Bisscute, yes, that was a "belt"... second, there are a few songs that Nancy is front vocals on... I think "These Dreams" is one, and there are at least a couple others.... if you dig around you will find them.

[@RyneMurray23]

You should listen to Dreamboat Annie if you haven't before. Nancy and Ann both sing snd its beautiful👍🏼

[@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.🌺

[@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? 😁

[@jeditor9687]

The Wilson sisters rocked as hard as anyone. 🫡

[@roberormonde]

Biss the acoustic intros longer on this version I'm glad you chose this live version never herd it, it sound like the original studio version she has an amazing voice great choice biss I really enjoyed it oh ya I'm crazy about you, have a good one❤😊

[@PeterMcCracken-n3g]

Hi Bisscute, In my opinion, Anne is the best female singer ever, for all the reasons you could think of. Cheers you.

[@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

[@karldh]

Nancy Wilson has been on many top 25 Best Female Guitarists lists, along with Ann on Best Female Vocalists. Together they made Heart a powerhouse band.

[@Bill123058]

was lucky enough to have seen them in the mid 70s. they were fantastic.

[@davidgoldstein1526]

I had the great fortune of seeing them live in 1981. Ann is the greatest female rock vocalist ever. Nancy is a great guitarists, as well.

[@robertjewell9727]

I agree with EVERUTHING you said!!

They weren't combining the vocals with the guitar at the end, That was two guitars harmonizing together. Howard Leese and the GREAT Roger Fisher!!!!!

That was interesting how she incorporated a little bit of "Hijinx" in the intro at the beginning.

[@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.

[@justitia257]

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

[@eggstu]

Heart is a legendary band and have massive contributions to music, even with bands like Alice in Chains

[@scottc1200]

Nancy may be guitar, but she can sing! Don't think she can't sing. I have heard her live at a Heart concert. I've seen them live more times than I could count.

[@alicestevens8291]

I only heard this and a few other live versions of Heart over the last year where I had heard pressings before. A great choice band for live takes. In fact I wasn't watching I would assume this was a studio take by how clean it is. I was not surprised to read about how much influence they had and a lot of the big rock acts, grunge included. Just fantastic musicians here.

I prefer to listen to the studio version first so that I understand what the artist intended. But I'll make an exception for Bisscutie! Yes, it's nice to see Nancy take center stage for a change, and deservedly so. Love Heart, great music, great lyrics, great vocals.

[@ursanator]

Ann and Nancy also had another band "The Lovemongers" which covered Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore" which was part of soundtrack of movie "Singles". Ann did a duet with lead singer of Disturbed called "Don't Tell Me" you should check out.

[@socketwrench7]

Good morning ❤

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.

[@Wassup_Guy]

You really need to watch Nancy sing a lead. She is amazing too. "These Dreams" - live in Seattle- they are a bit older doing an acoustic concert and this song is one that Nancy is the lead singer and Anne backs her up.

[@ericblodgett1289]

Johnny and edger winter.."Tobacco road live"..Great reaction to choose btw..Those lady's rock out!

[@goldenruletv7301]

My first 8 track tape was Dreamboat Annie. I have loved the Wilson sisters all my life. I've seen well over 100 concerts but never got to see my favorite ladies.They are both amazing. I got to see Alice Cooper in 1973 when I was 3 years old though, so that makes up for many missed bands right out the gate, lol.

[@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. ✌️

[@musician4life451]

Heart band members are fantastic musicians, but it was Ann that puts the group to the next level.

[@giljensen1132]

Nancy can sing as well as she plays

[@ChristopherCarpenter-i5x]

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.

[@zzrydr]

Biss you got to hear this Heart at The Kennedy Center honoring Led Zeppelin with a cover of Stairway to Heaven and backed by a full orchestra f**king awesome performance and with Led Zepp themselves watching from the balcony and their reaction to it all priceless

[@sumonjamal1653]

In the 70's, Heart's lead singer Anne Wilson was the focal point of the band and her sister Nancy Wilson on guitar was the secondary attraction onstage... However, that changed in the 80's when Anne Wilson gained weight and her large frame was a liability in the image-heavy 80's that relied on MTV for popularity. Although Anne was still the frontwoman when Heart played concerts, it was Nancy Wilson who was predominantly featured in music videos and got most of the attention in the 80's. The Wilson sisters had issues w/ each other... but that wasn't apparent until 2016 when Ann's husband was arrested after an altercation w/ Nancy's son and Heart split up for a while... I read an article where Ann blamed Heart's 1995 breakup on Nancy Wilson opting to take a break from the band to start a family. They tour together as Heart but are still at odds over the band's future.
