Little Queen - Heart | The Midnight Special

[@Jukebox45s]

This album has been in my bloodstream for 47 years. Surreal to see the footage of the photo shoot for the iconic cover.

[@cindysue5474]

The first album and this are their best ones.

[@KonaSitkaRose]

@@cindysue5474 This is my fav album and cover, too. All of their ocean and woodsy music left deep impressions inside of me. I've never had music before or after move me like their first albums. I know it isn't popular to say but they lost me after Dog & Butterfly. But their first albums became a part of me, very hard to express how.

[@WolfDaddy420]

Little Queen by Heart and the soundtrack to The Song Remains The Same by Led Zeppelin along with Master Of Reality by Black Sabbath and Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane were the albums that I requested and received from my parents for my 13th birthday on 08/22/1977. Here I am having just turned 60 in 2024 and I still listen to and absolutely love all of the same music, not to mention that good ol' green skunky bud that I've been smoking since 1976✌🏼

[@rebeccawagner4167]

This is a true example of why I love the Midnight Special. They really put on some amazing groups on their show. Heart is one of the groups.The Midnight Special was part of my teenage years ♥️ ❤️. 😊

[@charlotteknutsen7262]

I loved the Midnight Special so much as well. We'd stay up every Friday late to watch it. 🎉

[@ellisacklin514]

Dear Heart, please have the entire show remastered and released. We need this! ♥

[@JoeGraveDancer]

This is amazing. I was so fortunate to see bands like Heart, Rush, Aerosmith, Van Halen and Dio up close in clubs and very small venues. Tickets were less than $25 That was rock n roll!!

[@scottlarson1548]

If I remember correctly (unlikely) I think I paid $7 to see Heart in 1977. With inflation that's $36 now.

[@mercedesnuss8760]

Ann Wilson one of the best female voices. This is real music...no digital stuff.

The year I graduated HS, I’ve still got my “Dog and Butterfly” 🦋 album ~ I bought as a freshman in college. What a fantastic band!!! This is fantastic and I LOVE their clothes style! SO Bohemian! I’ve seen them perform 3 times, 1st in 1978 & last in 2013 when all of their encore songs were Led Zep! 💖

I saw Heart twice in the 70s. Opening for Rainbow on the Rising tour, and opening for Rush in 1977. (:

[@troubadour723]

Those are two incredible lineups.

[@alspencer3826]

Oh my god!! They opened for Rainbow on the rising tour in 1976! WOW, to have been there for that, you are a lucky person. Nowadays, there isn't one band I would pay to see, nevermind two!

Ann needs to do audiobooks or ASMR videos. Her speaking voice is so soft and soothing.

[@kevincooper4912]

She doesn't sound like that anymore She can still sing, but the dulcet tones are gone 😢

[@mikeobryan1]

It’s like the Zapruder film seeing exactly when that cover shot was taken! My first real concert, my friend and I finished building his car, got license plates and went to Syracuse to see Dave Mason/Heart and Sanford Townsend band!. Ann strutting around the stage with her flute Roger with a double neck guitar and the bass about to make my chest explode !

[@andyharman3022]

I never knew there was a video that was produced along with the cover photo shoot. Very cool. Little Queen is one of the best albums of the 1970's. Every song is great. I wish this band lineup could have stayed together.

[@beatlesfabfan]

The cover is one of the best EVER!

[@HassanNikfarjam]

Heart as a band was excellent. Great drummer

[@knuteboy3778]

In Elysian Park- right by Dodger Stadium.

[@willswalkingwest7267]

Saw them first in the summer of 77. It was this album that made me buy my first mandolin. Loved this group, the Roger Fisher years were the best.

[@dougngwenlawson3886]

I saw them in 1977 at the Michigan Jam. It was the first of many times I saw them and they are still one of my favorites. The ladies rock.

[@KonaSitkaRose]

@@dougngwenlawson3886 Wasn't it incredible? Out first time seeing Heart was in '77 in Denver at Mile High Stadium. We saw Lynyrd Skynyrd there, too. As they sang Free Bird, a jet flew right over us to land at Stapleton. The band and everyone in the audience went nuts ❤️‍🔥 Amazing memories.

[@festushagan3921]

The 70's brought us SO many sexy and talented women in rock. Debbie Harry, Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar, The Runaways, Chrissie Hynde, etc., but Ann and Nancy were always special to me. Ann has one of the most iconic voices in rock. I bet I saw them 6 or 7 times in the 70's and 80's and loved every single show.

The album cover shoot was cool. Never saw that before - and I've been following this band since 1975!

As a teenager, I purchased that album cassette tape when it was first released. I completely wore the cassette out, playing it in my brand-new Trans Am, one of the first cars available with a cassette player, as opposed to an eight-track.

That is so 70's. I got my first traffic ticket drag racing a guy in a Trans Am.

[@dumont_69]

I was born in 69. I was a punk new wave kid (still am!) but I was raised on 60-70s rock. For as much as I crushed on Joan Jett, Debbie Harry and Siouxsie......Ann is the coolest. If I were born in 59 I'd have been chasing her. What a voice (Nancy is no slouch of course). My only other music crushes were Sinead and Sade.

[@greatunz67]

The real Heart, with Roger Fisher, he was the true genius in the band in the early days, and the one who came up with their most famous riffs on Barracuda, Magic Man, Crazy On You, etc.. these days everyone seems to forget that and think it was Nancy and i've seen interviews where she seems to be into revisionist history and claims coming up wtih things that Roger did, but back then she just strummed the acoustic guitar. Roger was their band leader, and lead guitarist who did all the intro's and the leads.

[@timkriescher1237]

Well said!

[@Katerina9256]

Well I agree up to a point because I'm all Roger Fisher as well....but Nancy was an incredible player back then as she still is. She came up with and played the intro to Crazy On You and Mistral Wind among plenty of other things. She and Roger created some beautiful songs together as well...Sylvan Song and Love Alive (mostly Roger) and Soul of the Sea come to mind. But if you want to see just how good Nancy's playing has always been, pull up a gem of a show here on youtube called Heart- The Second Ending. Recorded live in front of a relatively small audience in 1975 or 6, it's really an amazing show. Heart at its best with all the perfect 6 members ❤

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

The dudes in the original hard rocking band all left, and Heart became a very different pop band that didnt ROCK. Nancy JAMS, and it aint no joke. When she was with that Fisher dude they rocked out like the best of the best. There were MAJOR hints at protometal that were some serious musical changes in the late 70s. Actually there were multiple elements of musical genres in their music, but splitting up completely stopped some seriously hard rock.

Is it me, or are they just not cutting to the sisters in the stage shots?

[@ROLtheWolf]

They deliberately hid Nancy's guitar playing.

[@melissab8535]

And why did they focus so much on the male musicians?? They skimmed past Nancy and showed Ann only toward the end when the vocals were almost finished. So disappointing

[@ROLtheWolf]

@@melissab8535 It was marketing entirely. My guess is that the label feared that people would freak out to see a woman playing guitar. They were wrong, because for every dumb hater there were two people who were drawn by her and her skills. The industry made bad assumptions.

[@kevincooper4912]

​@@ROLtheWolf I love her, but back then, she could barely play rhythm guitar

[@SweetSourMiss]

@@kevincooper4912I dunno about that. She wrote the intro to Crazy on you and that was before this album. And if you listen to the first four albums with headphones …her acoustic is always in the background playing some really beautiful melodies. I get lost in it at the end of the song, Magazine. Very beautiful playing.

[@KonaSitkaRose]

Nancy had already created the lilting, full picking intro Silver Wheels before Crazy on You, as well as the incredibly forceful, unrelenting picks/strums on the mandolin melody in tandem with Roger. In Love Alive &all other songs she could jam & keep up with Roger. He didn't have to slow down for her. She holds her own.
