Nancy’s acoustic intro to me is one of the best there is.

[@vyger6336]

Nancy is a fantastic guitar player and together with Ann's talent , they are unequaled. They give me goosbumps LOL

[@kathleensmith950]

Ann of Heart has a beautiful voice! Her tribute to Led Zeppelin was out of this world.

[@kurtcpi5670]

Ann Wilson is the greatest female rock singer ever without a doubt, maybe the unqualified best. Vocal analysts used to say (magazines back in the 70s) that she'd never be able to keep it up. She's now in her 70s and still beltin' out those high notes and knockin' 'em dead at live performances. This TV thing isn't her strongest performance, and even so it just blows me away. No autotune. No pre-recorded tracks. No BS.

[@Neal_Schier]

Fil is always so polite when he says "let's go back to 1977" (or whenever). For those of us who were teens in the late 70's that is a nice way of saying "let's go back into the mists of time to the ancient days '" 🤣😂🤣

[@laurakali6522]

Neal Schier but 1977 was awesome!!

[@Neal_Schier]

"Dog and Butterfly" was the album my sister bought me when I came to visit her (in '77) because she knew I wasn't into hard rock ( Led Zeppelin.... although I love them now!) She died shortly after in a hit and run accident. I'll always remember her for buying "Hearts" album for me.🎼🎼🎼

[@rookmaster7502]

I agree. I attended one of Ann's concerts last year (she was the opening act for Jeff Beck), and her vocal performance was absolutely amazing.

[@BolofromAvlis]

I remember a few years back when they appeared on "The Kennedy Center Honors" and they did "Stairway To heaven" as tribute to Led Zeppelin" and it was simply mind blowing.

[@windwoman3549]

Mark Hanson If you rummage around here on KZbin, you’ll find that video of ‘Stairway’ at the Kennedy Center Honors Led Zeppelin is a real thing. It’s all over the place, tons of reaction videos, etc. I watch it regularly. Probably one of the best done covers EVER. The band, orchestra, full choir - an amazing production! Jimmy Page’s obvious enjoyment is so fun, & Robert Plant - ever the curmudgeon - takes a while to warm up, but he’s 100% sold by the end. Pure euphoria that night in that building. Thank god we average folks have the video!

[@CaptainBakerJason]

She always made certain to record in the keys that matched her voice. As she grew older, despite all the damaging influences of the 70s and 80s, Ann has been able to predominantly not have to lower the key as many rock legends have to do with age. There may not be as much acrobatics as the past, but the tone, pitch and range is still, amazingly top of the class. I’ve been able to see her live in five decades, and Ann always delivers!

My ex husband owned exactly 3 albums and one was Heart. This means they had serious appeal. He had a crush on both of these ladies, especially Ann I think. I think they were so attractive they weren't always appreciated for their musical talent; they were very good. Thanks, Fil!

[@puddysue]

What a powerhouse of a voice... and still is today!

[@damialle]

Heart is definitely one of the great bands of the 70’s, with Ann’s powerful voice, Nancy’s brilliant guitar work, and a long list of hit songs. I saw them in concert a few years ago and they’re still as amazing as ever. Fil’s observations hit the nail on the head, as they always do.

[@RaeZoladawn777]

Nancy is by far one of the best iconic guitarist of this last generation ...amazing Artist Annes vocals were exceptional....wow amazing

I paused the video immediately following the intro. My jaw is still gaping open after watching and hearing it. The quick harmonics thrown in during the flurry of notes. Doing this finger style on an acoustic. Nancy Wilson is amazing. Her mastery of the fret board is unquestionable. Simply amazing, with out a doubt one of the greatest guitar players ever.

[@bigbluelou1562]

Ann's range, clarity, and control have always absolutely amazed me. Every time I hear her hit those high notes, with such controlled vibrato, perfect pitch, and piercing clarity, I just shake my head and smile. No matter how many times I've heard it. Every. Single. Time.

Just heard them last night in concert. They still have it, both of them! They held the audience with tight song after tight song ranging from each decade (and an amazing light show, if you took time to notice). For an encore, they did Stairway to Heaven and Barracuda and blew both out the top! Definitely melt your face, shiver your spine, and full goosebumps all the way.

1985 I went to visit a friend and he had a visitor. My friend had to leave shortly after I arrived but didn't think he'd be long and asked me to wait. I waited about two hours before I left. His friend and I chatted quite a while, but I mainly listened. His told some grandiose stories and I was thinking he needs to wake up in the same world every day. He also mentioned that people were always trying to touch him or grab a souvenir. I assured him he had no worries. Before I left he said he enjoyed conversation and asked if I'd like to go see a Heart concert. He said he tickets, back stage passes and invite to the party after. I gave him an excuse because that was only half true. Later I saw my friend and I mentioned to him that his friend told some wild stories and must think he's a rock star. My friend laughed and told me it Frank Beard the drummer for ZZ TOP. I said, so the Heart concert was real, and he says yeah. I said, well be.

They were huge in Canada. Won the Juno award( Canada's equivalent to the Grammys) for group of the Year for 1976..having recorded their Dreamboat Annie album at Mushroom in Vancouver Canada, Canada assumed they were a Canadian group. Heart quietly accepted the award with a smile and it wasn't discovered until later that they were actually Seattle based. Lol. They kept the award because at the time they were living in Canada.

Their sound was completely unique. They are a band that comes along once in a lifetime. I'm glad it was my teen years. They are the reason I love a strong powerful female vocal. Not a fan of softer female vocals. Kick ass or don't bother.

My own first look at Ann and Nancy was when they appeared as an acoustic duo at the Concert for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. What was their first song? “Battle of Evermore”. If that wasn’t enough to show you their admiration of Zeppelin, I don’t know what is!

Nancy Wilson is amazing on guitar; I think she's the best female guitarist of our time. She doesn't get enough appreciation. Thanks for doing this, Fil. This is the MUSIC I grew up with and it holds up so damn well.

[@SuziQ.]

If "our time” includes current guitarists, Nita Strauss should be mentioned. She has some mad playing skills. I’m not particularly fond of the music she plays, but I saw her playing live when she opened for Wolf Van Halen. She can really play. Lzzy Hale can both sing and play guitar. She’s probably my second favorite female vocalist, after Ann Wilson. The Wilson sisters set a high bar in musical talent. Addit: I think Nancy gets appreciated by many people in the music world. She was invited to play for the Taylor Hawkins tribute concerts.

[@lynndow3185]

I recognize the Midnight Special program set! With that show you always know there will be no lip-synching and the whole performance will be live, no editing, no 2nd takes.

[@Jason-wo5rr]

I’ve never understood the mentality of a great rhythm guitar player and their sometimes desire to be a lead player. Like Pete Townsend, he’s a tremendous rhythm guitarist but just a lower than average lead player and in the late 70’s and 80’s he had all kinds of teachers trying to make him something he’s not. Nancy is the perfect example of what my guitar teachers taught me and what I’ve taught all of my students and that’s “a great rhythm guitarist can make an average lead player sound amazing but a poor rhythm guitarist couldn’t make Jimi Hendrix sound good” if you’ve been blessed to be a rhythm guitarist then embrace it and be the best guitarist you can be. The Edge is not a great lead guitarist but the man can play in other dimensions when he’s playing rhythm. “Serve the song not the ego” and great video as always my friend!

Thanks for this, Fil! Love your take on Heart and Ann singing dry into the SM57. I've been listening to Heart since they hit the scene out of my hometown of Bellevue, WA USA back in the seventies. I'm not sure one can really rank singers, but I will say I've never heard Ann sing (thousands of times recorded and 5 times live) without a resulting chill down my spine and usually some awestruck watering of the eyes. This entire band was truly great, but Ann's voice and delivery has stood out for its ability to make me instantly feel the full spectrum of human emotion...all while having a rockin' good time. I'm hopelessly biased, but it's hard to top that kind of musical impact. Cheers!

Lang, Annie Lennox, Stevie Knicks, Christine McVie, etc... And having seen them live, they are truly a force to be reckoned with -- absolutely beautiful Artists! The mark of truly great Artists can be measured by the manner in which they make the difficult seem effortless -- that's what you see here and learning how, even something, seemingly, inconsequential, like a microphone 🎙🎶 can make such a difference in quality of sound (something that I can appreciate as a Singer), really helps one recognize all of the details that come together to make great art!

Roger Fisher and Howard Leese are two of the most underrated guitarists in rock. . Thank you for giving them a shoutout on their high low harrmony at 13:10-13:35. Howie wrote that riff. Those two have some of the best harmonies in classic rock. A truly amazing video of early Heart is SING CHILD SING. It is from a 1976 concert they did on Public TV for College students in Washington state. Roger Fisher has a long solo on the guitar using a violin bow and is jaw dropping amazing. This video is on KZbin. Highly reccomend it. Love your channel, been binge watching during pandemic.

Roger is one of the most underrated rock guitarist of all time. Extreme talent

[@lorimancuso8487]

Love Heart they are just as good today as back then! Ann's voice is just amazing, and she can still hit those notes ! What a great job with this Phil i love the way you break a song down !!!!!!

[@EchoesDaBear]

Saw them back on 2013 (wife surprised me with tickets for our 10th anniversary!!), they were AMAZING! Nancy actually had to re-start the beginning of this song, she messed up (just bumbled a few notes), but it really didn't matter. All she said was "I'm not as young as I used to be, I sometimes trip over my fingers" (or something like that) Anyone who knows music, and especially finger pick style guitar, knows, this intro is difficult as hell, so it showed a 'human' aspect to Nancy, but endearing. She picked it up again, and nailed it - spot on (and she prolonged the groove a bit like she did here) - then did her stratospheric kick when the main 'ROCKIN' melody started. Ann, as usual, was etheric with your vocals! She truly is a powerhouse - no matter at what age or stage in their career! As an added bonus that night, the opening band was The Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience!!! (I didn't know this prior, so I was confused as to why half the crowd was wearing Zeppelin shirts!) - well talk about a treat! An opening of Zep tracks, then Heart, whom ended their setlist with 6 (count them 6) Zeppelin covers (with Bonham on drums) - playing Battle Of Evermore (Nancy on mandolin, Ann on acoustic), Song Remains the Same, Rain Song, Immigrant Song (HOLY SH!T on the vocals!), Kashmir (!!) & Stairway. Ann was hitting notes that Robert Plant couldn't dream to hit anymore. What a night! Great reaction vid Fil!

I was only 4 or 5 years old during that concert run, another thing regrettably out of my control. this line-up of Heart is very powerful and polished to my amateur senses. gotta say these sisters performances always mesmerize me with the results from their thousands of hours spent honing the craft; probably using some types of magics.

[@DJBoise]

I got to see them in 1982 and they were great. One of my all time favorites.

[@mkivy]

What a band...they could do it all and what a voice Ann has! None can compare to power...and of course Nancy...excellent and underrated...

[@bekind6763]

They are on my bucket list to see in concert some day. Awesome song, band and analyses!^m^

[@stargazer1460]

You better check that one off soon! 👍😎

[@bekind6763]

@@stargazer1460 Hopefully next year? Not gonna happen!

[@johndrx165]

Saw them early on. They had great sound overall. Very clear and clean. Great Zep covers as well.

[@lesknight4541]

A great name for that band because they diffidently played with a lot of heart ❤️

[@stargazer1460]

Definitely

[@beachgirl4583]

Autocorrect strikes with a doozy.

[@TheOrdinaryBiker]

Great song, great performances, great analysis. I love that Fil does this clip wearing a Stevie Ray Vaughn shirt....so awesome!

[@boosuedon]

I have never seen a girl "manhandle" a guitar like Nancy Wilson! So fun to watch!

[@TessT101]

Hands of steel!

[@texasmade6547]

That’s why she is called whiz Fingers

[@PlayGtr]

I agree, that was true back in the day, but there are a lot of us females who also "manhandle" our guitars just the same and with heavy gauge strings. Albeit, we're not as good as Nancy but we were certainly inspired by her starting from the mid late seventies.🎸🤘🏻❤️

[@luannjohnson2944]

I couldn't click on the notification fast enough. I ♥️ Heart! Great video Fil. Wonderful analysis and history🤘

[@willieboy8798]

this is a band that you needed to see in concert to fully appreciate how good they really are!!! good job sir! rockin in a dress just the classiest period!

[@lauriemalek9685]

Without a doubt this is my favorite Heart song and I am obsessed with watching live videos of Ann sing it because her voice is unbelievable. I can sing the verse part of this song but forget the chorus, no way can I go that high. I am in total awe of what she used to be able to do with her voice and she made it look like she barely breathed‼️😱

[@conniemueller7905]

Thanx for this one Fil!! Always loved Heart! Amazing effortless vocal!! Great analysis💝💝💝

[@stan_doucet]

Until I watched this I would have thought at least 3 of their cuts would top out at No.1. As always Fil, very informative and great analysis.

[@classic-kool]

The whole band was in the "zone" for that performance .... impressive.

[@damnyankeefl]

second concert I ever saw was Heart. in 1977. that original lineup was amazing. you're so right about that intro. I always loved it, and i'm a drummer. if her time was off, I wouldn't like it at all. it's brilliant.

[@chaggyquebec]

Crazy on you my favourite song of them, Nancy Wilson has such a voice to entertain people she is a true showgirl !!! Incredibly talented she has everything to make me feel so happy.Every single little things you mentioned about her voice are so true you are an amazing observer !!! love you Fil ROCK!!!

[@sandiparker8567]

One of my all time faves - the soundtrack of my college years. These ladies ROCK! \m/

[@jporter504]

Excellent choice of bands and songs! I just saw Heart live at a medium sized venue and they still have it. Outstanding show.

[@EGSimon-ds1vf]

Saw Heart in concert many times- great voices- nothing fake or enhanced- still have wonderful memories of those shows!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

The guitar intro is spectacular. Ann and Nancy rock. Great song. Thanks Fil 😍

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Great analysis too. Thank you for the technical mic discussion especially.
