I think you're one of the best cover bands in the world 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲☮️👍🎸

[@BKD70]

WOW! Jessica nailed it!!! If there was no video, I'd bet most people would think this was a live version with Ann singing!!

Yup.

[@anthonyreddick7161]

That gal's got chops. She nails the vocals. The guys on guitar really rock out, too.

[@vmpgsc]

Everyone's fantastic as usual, but Jessica's vocals completely surprised me and blew me away.

[@McBain-qe2jh]

No doubt there.

[@t-bone2019]

Jessicas' voice takes the band to another level! Rock on girl!!!!

[@michaelgates5323]

Jessica is an unbelievable chameleon! She is so versatile. ❤

[@ElmoIsBold]

Her musicality goes way beyond the notes. Every nuance reveals how she FEELS that original creation. Just stunning...

[@matteblak6158]

I am a guitar junkie, but all I could hear on the song was the vocals. That was incredible.

[@randylatente]

Wow Jessica! Beautiful and faithful rendition. Your voice is amazing.

[@stephenironmonger348]

Amen to that #1

Right!!??

I’m a classical musician with over 40 years experience playing with some of the best bands & musicians. I’m really hard to impress & you guys blow me away every time. Barracuda vocal’s were wowing 🎉Amazing & the other folk’s are incredible and tight as well. Keep it up & Thank you ☺️ 🎉

[@Solomanium]

You guys continue to be on the best cover channels on KZbin, bar none.

[@shield8430]

I’ve often said that other bands cover THEIR songs !!

[@sbmcvp4525]

I refer to LLB as an "enhancement" band. They make hits, better.

[@michaeljtalkington7960]

Truth

[@thomasporterjr.5020]

In all my 60 years I’ve heard all kinds of covers and I’m here to tell you that has to be one of the best I have ever heard. Every thing from drums to the lead singer nailed it. Excellent job.

[@Staticjm35]

Ann Wilson is arguably one of the best singers around and it's very hard to do her justice. This young lady nailed it. Goosebumps

How does this video not have over a million views?! Truly the best cover of this song ever. The lead singer is phenomenal!

[@BLDRUNNER81]

Because the younger generation does not appreciate what real music is and should be. Most female singers today have to be half naked to say that they have talent. Jessica, to those about to rock! I salute you!

[@danschneider7369]

I’m running out of superlatives for you all. Absolutely incredible.

Ditto. I don't even know what to say anymore. Just one homerun after another after another. Thank you LLB.

By far the most awesome vocal cover of this alltime classic, superb voice👌👌🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ronkeyes659]

Without a doubt, a standing ovation!! I'm in awe of Jessica's vocals and the overall performance by this stellar group! Well done all!!

[@krisshepherd740]

This young lady is beyond fire in talent! She can hang with Ann Wilson big time. Wowza 🎉🎉🎉

[@gerardo2800]

No es para tanto...

[@hammer9856]

Holy you know what!!! If I was listening blind and not watching the vid I would have sworn this was Heart with Ann Wilson singing lead. Few female singers have that kind of power, range and vocal inflection.. Kudos to Jessica for an amazing performance! As well as the rest of the band, spot on!!!

[@GarrettWorcester]

Gretchen Wilson did a surprisingly bang-up/spot-on job covering it, too.

[@john.carlson23]

Everything is spot on as usual, but WOW the vocals are so spot-on. Incredible!

[@troyjenkins578]

It was 1986, I was 16 years old and standing stage side to see Ann and Nancy rip through their set list that included the hits from there mega-hit album, the eponymously named "HEART" for my first "out of town', "on my own" concert. I know what they sounded like at the top of their game and you guys just flat-out nailed it. When you can copy Ann Wilson's vocals like that, your on to something. Ann & Nancy would be proud! Thanks for the nostalgia.

[@SanDiegoUteFan]

Jessica! Wow! Just wow! Absolutely spot on. If someone played this for me I’d swear it was Ann and Nancy performing live. Fantastic!!! ❤️

[@KB3AOL]

Jessica’s vocals give me chills!!!🤘🏼

[@danschneider7369]

You could have a 1000 bands cover this song and I’m pretty certain nobody would even come close to pulling off what you all just did. Absolutely mind blowing. And Jessica....omg....that’s purely a god given voice.....amazing.

[@claysmell]

man this is so perfect. those who know, know that the bass player is absolutely killing it, the song would not be as strong without him

[@rickseeger1562]

You got that right.

[@mikehogan8998]

Absolutely, everything was killer! Bass player is so solid!

[@keithp5669]

Totally agree. He's awesome. I have to admit I can't help but seeing Mr. Bean. Lol... Love you guys!

[@Newdagate]

Wow everyone just nailed it. I hope Ann Wison and ♥ will see this soon.

[@Hammer8308]

WOW, Jessica just kicked that into another gear. GREAT performance all around.

[@TarHeelsKenny]

That is as good of a cover as you will find anywhere

[@gabrielledormuth4634]

Jessica, you are amazing, and Ann Wilson would be proud of the way you captured her singing style so elegantly

[@oldblue5891]

Awesome Job on the song! This is a top notch cover band! Like I’ve said before this band needs to be on AGT to show the world their Diamond Performing Talent!!!!!

[@chrisgraham9203]

The band is tight, as usual. What is amazing is how Jessica covers Ann note for note. I have never heard anyone do that, before now.

[@Hemifan4266]

Jessica............absolutely stunningly amazing. Truly a treat to listen to that kind of talent. She nailed every single note with earth-shattering perfection. It is hard not to comment on that kind of sound. Wow.....

[@kensteckelberg7013]

Wow! She is a total badass. I’ve never heard a cover this good. She has Ann nailed. Hard to tell them apart. And that’s saying a ton!! Band is incredible too. Nice work. ❤

[@paullelys161]

Oooohhh talk about shivers down my back bone. Those guitars, the voice, the everything put together. First thing I always do when listening to LLB is hit the thumbs up before I do anything else, then the volume knob goes up.

[@dirkremmington]

to 11, right?

[@timsfun6653]

I'm so glad you decided to do this song. I just knew that Jessica would knock it out of the park!!! Her vocals on the Zepplin medleys remain some of my favorite LLB moments. Great job everybody you keep proving that LLB is the best there is!

[@DrLumpyDMus]

Jeez. Thank you Jessica and the rest of the hard practicing, accurate transcribing band. Lots of hard work there.

[@debbrarose9969]

When I saw it was Heart I knew it would be Jessica. She never disappoints.

[@joshmoore6165]

Thats the tightest cover I've EVER heard!

[@bdub440]

This one is up there in the top 5 of LLB’s cover library. Jessica is incredible! A perfect match for this song. Guitar tone is so spot on. Superb! Outstanding!

[@gmcjetpilot]

I just discovered this band. Watched Kansas Carry on Wayward Son... Amazing... Then this. OH MY GOSH... The singer sounds like Ann Wilson, circa 1970, power, clarity, tone. Love Heart. The whole LL band, everyone is amazing. I am a drummer. This drummer plays relaxed and grooves, makes the difficult look effortless, perfect, with great bass, rhythm section is locked down. Guitars, well, love it all. Keyboard from Kansas video, backing singers, all fantastic. Thank you.

[@joemusicman64]

Whoa the lead vocals are scary good. Ann Wilson is not easy to cover. So much power. And of course the pro-level session musicians are awesome as always.

[@garyjohnston927]

I just can’t imagine how you could replicate this song any better. I can understand why musicians and vocalists are proud to be part of LLB. Also a huge shoutout to the videographers for providing us the unique opportunity to be inside the group and see the individuals making their magic. When you attend a live concert you tend to only get the totality of the groups effort. You can appreciate each performer’s contribution in this format. Just amazing!

[@hobysmith9825]

Oh…my…gosh. That was … wow. Ya know, I liked the version of this one that you guys did previously, I thought it was pretty good. But this one… wow. She so NAILED those vocals. The vocal range on that song is crazy and she absolutely slammed it. She has obviously been working hard on doing that one, very nice. Everyone else did really great too, of course. And I have to call out the engineering. The effects on the mix were perfect, especially the vocals! Very nice. There’s a requisite choral/reverb balance for the vocals on that song you just have to get right, if you want to do that song right. Easy to over do, get bleed, saturation, clipping, over compress, etc. I have to say, you guys have seriously mastered the art of doing covers. These iconic songs have so many nuances that you have to work HARD to reproduce. Any really good band CAN do them, but getting all the little details just right… wow, that is hard. And it’s so different from one band to another, each singer, each original musician had these little tricks and talents, special things they would do, certain vocal qualities. You guys have so mastered how to do “all that”. This one was really impressive. What’s more impressive… some cover groups get really good at targeting one particular group’s stuff, maybe they get good at original stuff from one or two groups. But you guys have covered such a broad spectrum of genres and unique sounds. And have done them really well. That’s amazing, really.

[@fredpayton3790]

Holy moly! That was unreal!!! It is no easy feat to cover Ann Wilson! Absolutely incredible! Blown away! LLB, you’re all next level amazing! 😎💕

[@oneperson7013]

Goosebumps! This deserves a mic drop. LLB. The mark of excellence.

[@jber9569]

Ann Wilson can't sing that song half as well today. Jessica simply knocks this out of the park. Probably the closest LLB song to the original I've heard. And they are all fantastic.

[@TheEnergizer1965]

Yea, well Ann Wilson is 74 freaking years old now too. Let's see how this young lady sounds when she's that age. No one will ever convince me that a cover can sing better than Ann.

[@multioptioned]

​@TheEnergizer1965 Ann Wilson one the greatest female rock voices of all time. May be equalled but never bettered.

[@pops8369]

This deserves 4 billion views. I can't explain how incredibly awesome this is. Goosebumps forever

[@SquireJethro]

Headphones are essential for this one! LLB outdoes themselves again! HSCC comes close, but LLB has no peer for duplicating the original.

[@gladdadscott]

4 of us are coming from Sturgis Michigan to LLB 2023, and I cannot wait! You guys help me relive some of my younger years through you "original flavor" covers. You guys put the emotion back in Rock! I will be 67 at the time, and this will be 50 years back on energy! Cannot wait. :)

[@scottmcdonaldAAL211]

The "NEXT LEVEL" for LLB | Full-blown professional (Sweetwater Studios) recording facilities and broadcast-quality video editing! Combine all of that with unprecedented musicianship and stellar showmanship, throw in Jessica's 'better than original' vocals, and you've really GOT SOMETHING AMAZING! I have said repeatedly that LLB defies superlatives, they are truly a gift to anyone who loves music from the artists' hits they represent on KZbin... all I can do is struggle to express my ever-increasing awe and admiration for all things LLB!

[@TheWealthOfNationz]

WOW. JUST WOW. Barracuda gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it in 1977. I have heard the song hundreds of times since then but no goosebumps until I just heard LLB cover it! I love this line-up. Jessica crushes the vocals and Ryan keeps time like a boss on a beat that is easy to let slip. Vandy takes one for the team playing acoustic on Barracuda. That is like showing up to a gun fight with a knife!

[@LexingtonLabBand]

Gotta have those 4 acoustic chords to make it like the album;)

[@patricke541]

Wow! Jessica and Katie rocking that one out! Everyone on point, great jam!

That’s a significant improvement over the original LLB recording which was mind blowing. Jessica vocals much more powerful in every spot with zero let up (last time you could see the power but some soft spots). Reflects a much matured vocalist who is an expert at the craft. And the guitars were on fire. The arpeggios at end with the dueling guitar stance was awesome.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Hats off to the vocalist. Very few female singers can pull this off and you nailed it.
