A statue of Nancy with her hair flowing in the wind, giving that signature leg kick, and playing an ovation guitar needs to be placed at the entrance of the rock and roll hall of fame.
The intro to Crazy on You is the best intro ever. When I first heard this on the radio back when life was real and we were free, I was blown away. God I miss those days.
Another year, be 80 years old if I last another month. This is the best there is, best video, best of Heart, best of her band, best of the sisters, best of rock and roll!
Loved em as a young teenager, still love em now(turning 60), give me these over Beyonce or Tay Tay any day of the week, Thank you for all these years of great music & great times !
Sometimes Nancy tends to get lost in Ann’s shadow and then you hear this guitar intro and you realize how equally talented they are with their own instruments.
I remember hearing this song in the 70s as a little kid. My mom would play their music all the time. The 70s , what an iconic error. A lot of great music came out of it.
Always the way it was supposed to be! Done done and done! I've been doing this my entire life and I tell my students if you can't get up there with an acoustic guitar and sing the song through then go home and play until you get it right and sing until you get it right because this is why serious Juju right here! Gives me chills now and I had the album and still do original pressing! And yep it does sound better!
That is by far the best solo guitar intro ever! She beat it up the whole song. Ann and nancy are immortal power houses! Regret never being able to see them live.
seriously, one of the most talented rock vocalists out there. most her contemporaries lost their voices decades ago and she's still phenomenal in her 70s. fantastic technique and power.
@@silverb7284 Yeah I agree with you. You need to do something about that fat head of yours before it blows your beady eyeballs out. Thanks for the honesty though
Nancy's Intro is not just so serene, it shows a lot of complexity in melody making It's so melodic, yet so gentle and seems simple But any decent guitarist will know for sure that it's not easy at all to perform What an amazing guitarist she is, genuinly one of the greatest of all times not just for "Female" guitarists
Tend to think there's a good deal of the acoustic Steve Howe influence in her playing- so many of the better known rock guitarists were listening to him back then. Big Zep fans too I've read- can definitely hear that much!
how many people get chills when they hear nancy wilson play this intro? EDIT:Thank you everyone for all the likes. i never expected my comment to be that well received! 😊
The Wilson sisters don't get enough credit IMO. The whole "one of the best female....." thing sells them short. They're one of the best...period. Few rockers could ever match Ann's abilities. Nancy is a really fine guitarist. The talent there is spectacular.
I burned out on almost all of the classic rock I used to listen to when I was younger, but Heart never ceases to blow me away. Ann's voice is just something unbelievable.
Watching this band preform live is magical. They are all masters of their craft and Ann & Nancy bring me to tears with their beautiful voices, harmonizing perfectly together. Two of the best female vocalist of the 70's, 80's and beyond. Legends! ♥
@@ryanhess9397 Yeah, they are phenomenal! The bands of those times (really late 50s - 80s...maybe some early/mid 90's) had so much talent!! It just doesn't feel the same with groups/music since then.
she's just a properly trained singer, unlike the majority of pop singers. It isn't magic, just proper technique. She still tends to eat the mic which must have driven the engineers crazy. An SM57 is insensitive enough to handle a proper singer but the levels have to be right. College trained singers tend to know where to hold the mic so the engineer doesn't have to change the levels every time you pick up the mic. For me, it is about 3 1/2 ft away from my mouth at about a 45 degree angle. In the pop world, it is a miracle to get singing this competent in the first place. But, yeah, most pop singers have zero idea what they're doing and lean on the electronics to produce sound. I've heard better drunken karaoke performances from amateurs than your average Top 40 singer. Don't even get me started on country...All I have to do to sing country well is channel my inner redneck, ham it up and use my worst singing technique, basically do everything the opposite of how I was trained. I get standing ovations when I sing karaoke simply because I know what I'm doing. I'm not exactly Pavarotti.
Yeah, she and Robert Plant could've been siblings, as I see it.. she's amazing, even when she lashes out with some high notes her voice ''feels'' nice to my eardrum, even though you can feel the power. That's not only tecnique, that's also talent
After she rips the intro, when she kicks her knee up on that opening chord, the look on her face is like "I'm gonna burn this place down with this song." Which they did.
To those who had the audacity to claim Nancy's guitar wasn't plugged in or she played "ok for a girl", I offer this classic intro as proof of pure, unadulterated talent. Simply iconic.
I remember the first time I heard their records, back in the 70’s. My sister’s friend was a fan. All these years I am still impressed. They deserve all the acclaim they can get. Great band, great performers.
No they wouldn't be hype at all. It's not about hoes cocaine bitches snitches, gangsters. And nobody knows what a guitar is let alone how difficult it is to master. I'm 42. Had 2 guitars in my life. I still have trouble playing smoke on the water.
As people age, voices lower, that's why so many singers in the higher ranges don't have what they used to. Ann Wilson though has always had a register that goes lower, that is why she v still sounds good. Guitar work like Nancy's never diminishes with age
Ann's voice control is out of this world. I don't know fans understand how difficult it is to control your voice with range with this form of singing. This is a gift.
I was just watching the Roy Orbison PBS fundraiser last night. And they noted that he recorded his last two albums in the morning hours because he couldn't control his vibrato later in the day. And Roy had been doing it for quite a while. @@RitaColacoNuminous
I will NEVER call Nancy an under-rated guitarist! Nancy is sooo accomplished, she is the backbone of heart, beautiful voice, producer, writer and all around bad-ass musician.
I was actually at this concert...at the time I was too young to appreciate what a true privilege it was to be in their presence at this time. Get chills every time I watch this video. They simply rock.
When she pulls back and crouches down, I get chills. Like watching a panther gathering itself to launch a deadly attack. Then there’s nothing but pure, unrelenting aggression. Masterful, raw power in that first step. Frozen in time, that instant speaks. “Hold my beer, you’re gonna love this shit.”
@@kaypowell407 I'm a 50 year old Woman. I heard Alone in 1987 and was frozen, thought "Who ARE these People? What IS this song?" as it was being played as the number one song on Video Hits (Canada). I think I drove my Local Radio Station by calling repeatedly to have them play Alone. Saw this video, saw them LIVE in 1988 and I think she did that crouch thing. I wanted my hair done like her hair was done, cut, etc.
The extended intro by Nancy is a joy. Flamenco style, then blues, funk, back to flamenco. I was 16 when they burst onto the scene. Bought the vinyls & cranked it up! Here, I note that A & N are fashionably dressed, but the guys are wearing the "low-cut tops". Ann & Nancy didn't have to perform half-naked to draw attention, their raw talent was more than enough. Ann's vocals range from tenderness to sheer power! At the end as guitarists are blasting around the stage, they had to remember that their guitars were plugged in! Couldn't trip over the cords, or become unplugged. Pretty amazing to watch them do this successfully!
So funny you say you were 16. I was a bicentennial baby. I love the Wilson sisters and all the collaborations throughout their musical impact on the world…. Wow! (Tewa)..”awupana!
@@tiffb1300 Thanks, will have a listen. Back in the 80s, I could borrow vinyl records from our local library. That's where I discovered flamenco type music. Plus, could check out classical music albums, all other sorts of music, which we didn't have access to on radio stations. The variety of acoustic guitar music, of sorts I had rarely heard, was a gift to my ears! Our small/ medium sized library system provided education and pleasure.
I moved to Seattle in January of 1977. Needless to say I heard lots of Heart. The ladies are tremendous musicians, no doubt. But here is something that perhaps many people don't know. At 'home' in the PNW they stayed 'local'. By that I mean they weren't too big to play smaller venues. Hell, they even played the state fair where you could see them for $10 (or something equally ridiculous) They never forgot how they got started and who their first fans were. Great musicians, even greater people.
Starship did the same thing here in California...Seen em FREE at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk two summers ago...years ago they would do fairs also...loved it and still do! By the way this is an awesome performance! Eric Underwood class of 81 Downey High School California...ps did a lot of floors out at Sea Tac...
@@slipshaft That's awesome, Max. In 1982, they played in my Junior High school's gym. It sure was an awesome day to be a Heart fan. In the class yearbook, they all signed their autographs, too.
I have Nancy's pick. It was in the 80's when me and my buddies would travel throughout New England hitting up Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Yngwie, Dokken and such. We were used to a tougher crowd to get up front, so when Heart came around with general admission seating we easily made our way to the front. I was right in front of Nancy the whole time, and she tossed me her pick. Best moment of my young life.
I got kicked out of Heart concert out of all the concerts including the names above Yngvie opened for AC/DC at the Garden and that was a blood bath at the end of the night on the floor . to this day I dont know exactly why I got kicked out of heart my ex- reminded me
I've fixated so much on Anne and Nancy, that I forgot how kick ass this band was - everything so tight, drummer kept great time and guitar and keyboards were perfect. Throw in Anne's throaty vocals and Nancy's lead/rhythm switch-overs - this band, Heart was a great concert band!
I'm pretty sure they would, if they listened to this. Unfortunately most people dont. The first time I listened to this I fell in love with Heart, so that's why im saying they would realize it if they'd listen.
actually she wasnt/isnt.... a man actually wrote and played all the lead parts, the am c d e progression is literally elementary.....she was just a cute chik on a guitar but by no means whatsoever influential or groundbreaking in any way.
That stunning introductory guitar solo took 6 months for me to master by ear & watching Nancy’s fingers Sizzle along the fretboard! I’m merely a mimic but just had to master THAT guitar solo! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; Thank you Nancy for making that creative introductory acustic guitar solo part of my muscle memory ! Just Crazy on this 1978 version of ‘Crazy on You'!❤❤❤😮😮😮
They are properly trained singers. Nothing more, nothing less. Problem is the average person just creams their pants when they hear a competent singer because they are rare in popular music.
Wow! That opening! When I watch these old concerts I sometimes wonder, as I do here: Did the people there knew they were witnessing a kicking, gorgeous moment in music history? Or was it just another night for them? Are we ever aware how amazing the present moment is? Nancy Wilson played solo acoustic for 3 minutes there. It was a blues/classical/rock recital. That's not something you see every day. I feel blessed to just watch the video.
@@S2Wiley I'm very happy to hear that. I hope you also know, then, how lucky you were to experience her music. It wasn't just that Nancy was special, but you were too. Without you, there would be no Nancy Wilson. :)
It’s “crazy” to hear this after quite a while and realize what a great song it is and what a great musical arrangement and performance. But, for me personally it is absolutely “crazy” to think back to when it was first released and that it was just another “good” song getting radio play at the time. To me, it is an example of how much truly awesome talent and music there was back then. Yeah I guess I’ve become one of those old dudes talkin’ ‘bout the good ol’ days.
Marty, they were the going old days. Nothing wrong with looking back. That’s what’s nice about growing old. The memories. We’re blessed because there will never be music like this ever again. The times back then were simpler. All you needed was good friends, FM radio and a job. Do I miss them? Sure. You want to know something cool? Sometimes I can’t remember where I parked my car. But play a song from 50 years ago, and I can remember every lyric, every note, every guitar riff. I thank God that I’m still here and can remember. I thought that I could go back and relive some of those days. You can’t. The music is still there but the people I looked up were nothing like the people I remember partying with. I have a new life. Jesus came into my life at a time when I was headed for one of two places. Jail or the grave. Gave my life to Jesus and its been one amazing journey. It’s time same today. Everyone is headed for one of two places. Heaven or Hell. For ten years I lived in hell. Needle marks on my arms and empty whiskey bottles on the kitchen table. I had enough. Where are you going? Accept Jesus into your life and there won’t be any doubt. Even if you don’t believe in Heaven and Hell, and you say to yourself “I’m a good person,” can your be 100% sure where you’ll spend eternity? Just something to think about. Stay safe , stay well Marty.
Millennial here. Found this song about 10 or so years ago and come back to this often because it’s just legendary. The talent, the voice, the rock and beauty. What’s not to love!
I watch this performance maybe 5 or 6 times a year. It gives me goosebumps every time. So raw, so powerful, so damned good. I guess I listen to it more than watch it, though, because the Star Trek uniforms, poofy shirts, and bathrobes crack me up everytime. 😆
I wouldn't disagree with you but there's a lot more to it than just playing. I'm sure a lot of people could outplay her but they will never come close to being her.@@fredmoore8661
This is, in adrition to showing how incredible al of the musicians in Heart were, is one of the finest live concent performances ever. Cooking on all cylinders musically, and a visual masterpiece. Howard Leese is a criminally under rated guitarist, & Ann's maintaining her volume when bowing low on "my love, the pleasure's mine" -- mind-blowing.
It's AMAZING what Ann Wilson can do with her voice. She can hit those notes easily and keep going ... Perfect performance. And Nancy .. Well ... Nancy is brilliant!
Kevin Larson She KNEW she was in charge. She picked it up and ABSOLUTELY shredded it. I don’t think there is a better female guitarist. Period. How can you be this good without selling your soul?
+ComfortBlades Funny you should compare Ann with Freddie. I went to see Queen supported by Heart at Milton Keynes about 30 years ago. Due to some blagging i got back stage and bumped into Roger Taylor. He was so chilled and he asked if i wanted his autograph. I said yeah great but I'd realy like Nancy's. He was maybe a little surprised but was cool and i got to meet Ann and Nancy. Talked to them for all of 5 seconds before i got removed. Never saw Freddie though. But was still amazing. The gig was great
+ComfortBlades - I've always been a big Queen fan, as well as a Heart fan. Saw both bands in the 70s (Heart in 1977, Queen in 1978) and both were fantastic shows. Freddie was, of course, the consummate charismatic front man. And his singing was great for the most part, but honestly his vocals just didn't hold up live the way they did on record. They weren't bad, far from it, but there was a quality drop that was noticeable from time to time (I recorded that show for my own personal use and have listened to it countless times over the years, so I do remember it very well). But that really didn't matter because the SHOW itself was so great. I certainly heard no complaints from anyone after the concert, that's for sure. By contrast, Ann Wilson live back then was just unbelievable. There was absolutely no drop in vocal quality and if anything her vocals were better live than on record. And, needless to say, she was also the epitome of the charismatic performer. One thing to note in this clip is at 3:58 when Ann bends her head down and hits that sustained note. Now THAT is impressive. Heart was definitely one of the best live bands of the 70s. No doubt about it.
You know what's weird? You ever have one of those moments where you really pay attention to a band, and you realize how talented they are? I always knew Ann Wilson could sing, but I'm having an epiphany or something right now watching this performance. She's producing that gorgeous, crystal clear voice with such little effort.
I notice a godly connection between Nancy's pre-intro piece and her hair blowing in the wind. That is just too lovely to rewind and watch over and over again. 😍
true - how about both? two of the most talented women AND two of the most talented artists? 😁they are awesome. if you haven't seen it watch the Kennedy Honors when they perform Stairway to heaven with Bonham's son on the drums.
David Hatfield Take a listen to Gabriel and the apocalypse. They signed with pavement record just over a year ago and she can belt out the songs. They have a number of videos on CZcams. Thrll of the kill, and beauty under glass are a couple of good ones. Let me know what you think.
Nancy opens with beautiful finger-picking goodness, full of contrasting subtlety and verve. Then she grabs a pick, crouches tiger-like with her guitar, taking aim like it's a machine gun, and then attacks with the full power of rock 'n' roll! Amazing stuff!
The ladies probably didn't realize it but they were Metalheads. True Rocka Rollers, but heavy heavy riffs. Love them. Such wonderful musicians and vocalists
Wilson sisters have had the best of the best since the early 70's and probably before then. Loved having the opportunity seeing them live in Amarillo, Texas at the Colliseum. I was right in front as a child of around 19 years old and was astonished by Nancy's ability on the acoustic. Never in my life have heard such remarkable playing as Nancy was doing. Oh I must admit both Wilson sisters were astonishingly beautiful, but I was there for the music and to this day do not regret going to that show. It was one of my first concerts it ever seen. And before going into the military. This is July, 2022 and "Crazy On You" still kicks since 1970's. Wow, they truly hit the scene back then, in my opinion still kick today. Thank you Wilson sisters, for opening my mind to facts that women can rock n roll, as good if not sometimes better.
I had the great pleasure of seeing Heart in 1976 in San Diego when I came home on leave from the U.S. Army after training at Fort Benning, Georgia. I will NEVER forget that concert! These two ladies and their band were and are one of the absolute best bands ever! I had the biggest crush on Anne and Nancy when I was a young man. I think if I could’ve ever met them I probably would’ve fainted dead away!! Lol
A statue of Nancy with her hair flowing in the wind, giving that signature leg kick, and playing an ovation guitar needs to be placed at the entrance of the rock and roll hall of fame.
I agree
💯💯💯
Oh My !!! I saw her jump straight off the floor and do that leg kick ! I was flabbergasted ! I love her performances .
OH Hell yeah, should have been done by now, we're lagging here folks.
I love her Rock n Roll hair and facial expressions as well as the kick.
That leg kick... An iconic rock and roll moment.
Should be a statue at the entrance to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!
@@bmarus I hadn't thought of that. That would be great.
@@bmarus Submit it to those bean counters please.
I'm a 70 year old rock and roll lover. This is by far the best acoustic guitar intro to a song that I've ever heard.
So awesome! Luv Heart!❤
That & Blue on Black ...KWS......
I grew up in the 70s, but it took my late husband (who was younger than me) to show me her amazing skills
Goosebumps everytime

Nancy Wilson is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. Amazingly talented.
My all time favourite female guitarist and vocalist!
Because she's a woman
She was never underrated..she's a badass..undeniable.
100% agree
Hell yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you tell me what you're alluding to?
@@SuperClypeus czcams.com/video/ra-itTKnFaw/video.html
13:45 mark or so...
I think it was also because John Bonham’s son played the drums. That was very emotional.

One of the greatest opening guitar solo in rock history. Kudos Nancy Wilson
Legit
Agreed. Mind blowing.
The Wilson sister's were always very critically & also underrated songwriters & musicians..
They've been playing this same song at every concert they've ever played and Nancy Wilson rarely ever plays that opening rift the same way.
This is definitely up there along with jimmy page's opening of since ive been loving you (from tsrts) by led zeppelin
Love love in 2024! Heart kicks ass! Today’s generation needs to hear the greatest music of Heart! ❤️
I remember hearing this song in the 70s as a little kid. My mom would play their music all the time. The 70s , what an iconic error. A lot of great music came out of it.
Ann Wilson's voice cuts into you like knife....goose bumps galore.
No lip synch, no auto-tune, just incredible talent and a passion for performance.

As people age, voices lower, that's why so many singers in the higher ranges don't have what they used to. Ann Wilson though has always had a register that goes lower, that is why she v still sounds good. Guitar work like Nancy's never diminishes with age
Ann's voice control is out of this world. I don't know fans understand how difficult it is to control your voice with range with this form of singing. This is a gift.
I gets easy after a long time doing it honestly
I was just watching the Roy Orbison PBS fundraiser last night. And they noted that he recorded his last two albums in the morning hours because he couldn't control his vibrato later in the day. And Roy had been doing it for quite a while. @@RitaColacoNuminous
Only 13 million views?This song is worth 1.3 billion views! The guitars ROCK!
I'm 52 yo and I still have a crush on the lady opening wîth the acoustic guitar ❤
The Wilson sisters were one of rock's best. Incredible talent and mastery. When rock giants roamed the Earth. 1960's to 1980's.
Still are!
OK seriously that intro of Nancy's???KILLIN IT AND in heels, the hair BLOWING, w/the KNEE?! Yes---girl YES! Could watch a thousand times!
One of the best solo lead-ins you'll ever hear..!!!
Over 13 million views. I am personally responsible for about a million
Same.
Same but 13 mil is too low for this video
lol great video
That guitar intro is worth more than all current popular music
Timeless music here brother...timeless
I could watch Nancy play guitar forever...
Hell yes
Fuck pop
@skitsy17 word
I will NEVER call Nancy an under-rated guitarist! Nancy is sooo accomplished, she is the backbone of heart, beautiful voice, producer, writer and all around bad-ass musician.
I agree with you.
Damn straight!
Could not disagree or take away from your assesment. But you failed to mention the love of my Life. Ann Dustin Wilson is BAD~ASS
She is under rated… she never got the recognition she deserved
Real music...real instruments....beautiful voices! Nothing like it❤
It must of been awesome to be in the same room during a random jam session. Now that video would be incredible to watch and listen to
I just can't get enough of seeing Nancy play her guitar and hearing them!
I was actually at this concert...at the time I was too young to appreciate what a true privilege it was to be in their presence at this time. Get chills every time I watch this video. They simply rock.
Yew barstard . I'm sew jealouse
What year was it?
And where?
If memory serves me correctly, it was an outdoor concert in August 1977 at Memorial Stadium in Seattle.
Cool, nah cooooool 😎
When she pulls back and crouches down, I get chills. Like watching a panther gathering itself to launch a deadly attack. Then there’s nothing but pure, unrelenting aggression. Masterful, raw power in that first step. Frozen in time, that instant speaks. “Hold my beer, you’re gonna love this shit.”
Totally agree, and this upload has better video quality -
czcams.com/video/wRKNXhG86VU/video.html
I love it as well. We all wanted to be them back in high school
Sexiest damn thing I ever saw.
Yes, yes, yes. A thousand times, yes!
@@kaypowell407 I'm a 50 year old Woman. I heard Alone in 1987 and was frozen, thought "Who ARE these People? What IS this song?" as it was being played as the number one song on Video Hits (Canada). I think I drove my Local Radio Station by calling repeatedly to have them play Alone. Saw this video, saw them LIVE in 1988 and I think she did that crouch thing. I wanted my hair done like her hair was done, cut, etc.
Nancy has such an amazing stage presence, there’s so much power in just seeing her go off on her acoustic and just jamming tf out
Classic ROCK when the players put their heart & soul into their instruments of virtue.
Those days are gone !!!:(
The extended intro by Nancy is a joy. Flamenco style, then blues, funk, back to flamenco. I was 16 when they burst onto the scene. Bought the vinyls & cranked it up! Here, I note that A & N are fashionably dressed, but the guys are wearing the "low-cut tops". Ann & Nancy didn't have to perform half-naked to draw attention, their raw talent was more than enough. Ann's vocals range from tenderness to sheer power! At the end as guitarists are blasting around the stage, they had to remember that their guitars were plugged in! Couldn't trip over the cords, or become unplugged. Pretty amazing to watch them do this successfully!
P.s. check out Charro! She is an amazing flamenco guitarist!
Totally agree with everything u said.
So funny you say you were 16. I was a bicentennial baby. I love the Wilson sisters and all the collaborations throughout their musical impact on the world…. Wow! (Tewa)..”awupana!
@@tiffb1300 Thanks, will have a listen. Back in the 80s, I could borrow vinyl records from our local library. That's where I discovered flamenco type music. Plus, could check out classical music albums, all other sorts of music, which we didn't have access to on radio stations.
The variety of acoustic guitar music, of sorts I had rarely heard, was a gift to my ears! Our small/ medium sized library system provided education and pleasure.
Fingerstyle at that
I moved to Seattle in January of 1977. Needless to say I heard lots of Heart. The ladies are tremendous musicians, no doubt. But here is something that perhaps many people don't know. At 'home' in the PNW they stayed 'local'. By that I mean they weren't too big to play smaller venues. Hell, they even played the state fair where you could see them for $10 (or something equally ridiculous) They never forgot how they got started and who their first fans were. Great musicians, even greater people.
Starship did the same thing here in California...Seen em FREE at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk two summers ago...years ago they would do fairs also...loved it and still do! By the way this is an awesome performance!
Eric Underwood class of 81 Downey High School California...ps did a lot of floors out at Sea Tac...
Not just in the pnw.. I saw them at a high school football field in Michigan about 15 years ago!
I agree 100%. They played in my Junior High school gym in 1982. The entire school just had an awesome time that day. 😎
@@slipshaft That's awesome, Max. In 1982, they played in my Junior High school's gym. It sure was an awesome day to be a Heart fan. In the class yearbook, they all signed their autographs, too.
I saw them in Shreveport, La. I think it was labeled the "Dreamboat Annie" tour.
Best vocals and best guitarist together! I’m seventy this year and I still rock with these chicks! 😊
My beautiful mother is a Heart fan therefore i am & forever grateful for her introducing me to these fabulous sisters & their amazing voices & music
The way her hair is flowing in the wind during the intro is so badass
Everything about her is badass... You should redefine rock and roll badasserie to mach what she did here.
Epic!
It totally is
I thought so too.
When women had long hair.
Ann Wilson has one of the BEST voices in rock and roll. Hands down.
Yep, her voice is clear, strong, and sexy.
I'd say THE best, hands down.
seattle chicks I have a dog and butterfly painting ann made
been in my living room for years
@@bkbland1626 Who is better??? No one. She is the female equivalent of Robert Plant & Ian Gillian. Probably, better.
When I listen to Heart, so do my neighbors ❤️...
HOW COME I HEAR THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME
this is gracious and brillant !
THANKS Wilson sisters for giving these gems to the world
I have Nancy's pick. It was in the 80's when me and my buddies would travel throughout New England hitting up Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Yngwie, Dokken and such. We were used to a tougher crowd to get up front, so when Heart came around with general admission seating we easily made our way to the front. I was right in front of Nancy the whole time, and she tossed me her pick. Best moment of my young life.
I got kicked out of Heart concert out of all the concerts including the names above Yngvie opened for AC/DC at the Garden and that was a blood bath at the end of the night on the floor .
to this day I dont know exactly why I got kicked out of heart my ex- reminded me
I've fixated so much on Anne and Nancy, that I forgot how kick ass this band was - everything so tight, drummer kept great time and guitar and keyboards were perfect. Throw in Anne's throaty vocals and Nancy's lead/rhythm switch-overs - this band, Heart was a great concert band!
Heat were an excellent band love all of their work
These women & the rest of the band earned a big place in my heart with their exceptional talents
I've loved this version since it was released! They were incredible live!
I don't think people realize how talented of a guitarist she is. Still the most badass Queens of Rock👑💖✌
And the harmonies that Ann and Nancy did we're amazing
yes she is very talented
@@keithwilson9378 still is...
I'm pretty sure they would, if they listened to this. Unfortunately most people dont. The first time I listened to this I fell in love with Heart, so that's why im saying they would realize it if they'd listen.
actually she wasnt/isnt.... a man actually wrote and played all the lead parts, the am c d e progression is literally elementary.....she was just a cute chik on a guitar but by no means whatsoever influential or groundbreaking in any way.
This song is epic. Nancy & Ann are both truly gifted. My idols. ❤️
That stunning introductory guitar solo took
6 months for me to master by ear & watching Nancy’s fingers Sizzle along the fretboard!
I’m merely a mimic but just had to master THAT guitar solo!
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery; Thank you Nancy for making that creative introductory acustic guitar solo part of my muscle memory !
Just Crazy on this 1978 version of ‘Crazy on You'!❤❤❤😮😮😮
❤

They are properly trained singers. Nothing more, nothing less. Problem is the average person just creams their pants when they hear a competent singer because they are rare in popular music.
Wow! That opening! When I watch these old concerts I sometimes wonder, as I do here: Did the people there knew they were witnessing a kicking, gorgeous moment in music history? Or was it just another night for them? Are we ever aware how amazing the present moment is? Nancy Wilson played solo acoustic for 3 minutes there. It was a blues/classical/rock recital. That's not something you see every day. I feel blessed to just watch the video.
Nah...we KNEW it was something pretty special...
@@S2Wiley I'm very happy to hear that. I hope you also know, then, how lucky you were to experience her music. It wasn't just that Nancy was special, but you were too. Without you, there would be no Nancy Wilson. :)
That was in 1983 still love them 🌹♥️♥️😘
It’s “crazy” to hear this after quite a while and realize what a great song it is and what a great musical arrangement and performance. But, for me personally it is absolutely “crazy” to think back to when it was first released and that it was just another “good” song getting radio play at the time. To me, it is an example of how much truly awesome talent and music there was back then. Yeah I guess I’ve become one of those old dudes talkin’ ‘bout the good ol’ days.
It's when us old people knew what REAL R&R was about.
Old broad here, talkin' 'bout the same thing.
Seriously, so glad to have found this video. Still the best, most awesome music. Lots of memories.
Marty, they were the going old days. Nothing wrong with looking back. That’s what’s nice about growing old. The memories. We’re blessed because there will never be music like this ever again. The times back then were simpler. All you needed was good friends, FM radio and a job. Do I miss them? Sure. You want to know something cool? Sometimes I can’t remember where I parked my car. But play a song from 50 years ago, and I can remember every lyric, every note, every guitar riff. I thank God that I’m still here and can remember. I thought that I could go back and relive some of those days. You can’t. The music is still there but the people I looked up were nothing like the people I remember partying with. I have a new life. Jesus came into my life at a time when I was headed for one of two places. Jail or the grave. Gave my life to Jesus and its been one amazing journey. It’s time same today. Everyone is headed for one of two places. Heaven or Hell. For ten years I lived in hell. Needle marks on my arms and empty whiskey bottles on the kitchen table. I had enough. Where are you going? Accept Jesus into your life and there won’t be any doubt. Even if you don’t believe in Heaven and Hell, and you say to yourself “I’m a good person,” can your be 100% sure where you’ll spend eternity? Just something to think about. Stay safe , stay well Marty.
@@michaelbirke6050 - Amen Brother & God Bless!
Millennial here. Found this song about 10 or so years ago and come back to this often because it’s just legendary. The talent, the voice, the rock and beauty. What’s not to love!
Its 1976 song i think
I'm sorry you weren't there for it cuz it was incredible. But much respect for finding it now and recognizing it for the awesomeness that it is...
I watch this performance maybe 5 or 6 times a year. It gives me goosebumps every time. So raw, so powerful, so damned good. I guess I listen to it more than watch it, though, because the Star Trek uniforms, poofy shirts, and bathrobes crack me up everytime. 😆
After all these decades, I still cannot name another female guitarist that comes close to Nancy.
I’ve never seen anybody rock an acoustic guitar like Nancy Wilson!
I have. She is only a fair player. Nothing special. Bass and lead are incredible! Stunning vocals!
I wouldn't disagree with you but there's a lot more to it than just playing. I'm sure a lot of people could outplay her but they will never come close to being her.@@fredmoore8661
@@219garry True.
The best. The one and only
@@rickdepalma2528 Horse shit!
When Nancy plays, the rock gods make wind to blow her hair back out of the way.
HA AWESOME
svyt I love your comment. ✌😁
Open arms
Svyt. ..funny how they work as when needed
Wow. The rock gods love Heart. They have soulful sounds.
One of the Greatest Songs Ever by One of the Greatest Bands in Music History.
This 2 Sisters were/are Pure Genious. Awesome, Awesome Band.
👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️
This is, in adrition to showing how incredible al of the musicians in Heart were, is one of the finest live concent performances ever. Cooking on all cylinders musically, and a visual masterpiece. Howard Leese is a criminally under rated guitarist, & Ann's maintaining her volume when bowing low on "my love, the pleasure's mine" -- mind-blowing.
It's AMAZING what Ann Wilson can do with her voice. She can hit those notes easily and keep going ... Perfect performance. And Nancy .. Well ... Nancy is brilliant!
Thank you for noticing both they are amazing together
Just love how Nancy just unloads with both barrels after serenading the crowd. Righteous
Kevin Larson
She KNEW she was in charge.
She picked it up and ABSOLUTELY shredded it.
I don’t think there is a better female guitarist. Period.
How can you be this good without selling your soul?
fucking rockin !!!!
Joel Jennings they all did every person that is or was 'famous'
The most Gifted guitarist of her time!! Love you ANN AND NANCY!!
Ann's singing gives me chills. These are two unbelievably talented sisters
Ann's voice is just amazing. She's up there with Freddie Mercury. Viscous voices that are unforgettable.
+ComfortBlades Funny you should compare Ann with Freddie. I went to see Queen supported by Heart at Milton Keynes about 30 years ago. Due to some blagging i got back stage and bumped into Roger Taylor. He was so chilled and he asked if i wanted his autograph. I said yeah great but I'd realy like Nancy's. He was maybe a little surprised but was cool and i got to meet Ann and Nancy. Talked to them for all of 5 seconds before i got removed. Never saw Freddie though. But was still amazing. The gig was great
Awesome! Poor Roger.
+ComfortBlades - I've always been a big Queen fan, as well as a Heart fan. Saw both bands in the 70s (Heart in 1977, Queen in 1978) and both were fantastic shows. Freddie was, of course, the consummate charismatic front man. And his singing was great for the most part, but honestly his vocals just didn't hold up live the way they did on record. They weren't bad, far from it, but there was a quality drop that was noticeable from time to time (I recorded that show for my own personal use and have listened to it countless times over the years, so I do remember it very well). But that really didn't matter because the SHOW itself was so great. I certainly heard no complaints from anyone after the concert, that's for sure.
By contrast, Ann Wilson live back then was just unbelievable. There was absolutely no drop in vocal quality and if anything her vocals were better live than on record. And, needless to say, she was also the epitome of the charismatic performer. One thing to note in this clip is at 3:58 when Ann bends her head down and hits that sustained note. Now THAT is impressive. Heart was definitely one of the best live bands of the 70s. No doubt about it.
Release Woger
So are the Zombies, if you can believe that lol.
You know what's weird? You ever have one of those moments where you really pay attention to a band, and you realize how talented they are? I always knew Ann Wilson could sing, but I'm having an epiphany or something right now watching this performance. She's producing that gorgeous, crystal clear voice with such little effort.
Be careful not to dismiss the immense effort she poured into reaching this point where she has it all pinned down.
There is effort there, believe me, that's the talent. But she makes it seem effortless that's the show.
pimpsonparade She’s not called The Voice for nothing
Yep!
Nancy all the way
Ann & Nancy are absolute legends... no artist today could even come close!!
These two ladies have more talent than 100 Taylor Swift type so called artist.
Indeed
I notice a godly connection between Nancy's pre-intro piece and her hair blowing in the wind. That is just too lovely to rewind and watch over and over again. 😍
Maybe the greatest live performance by a female guitarist of all time. Actually there’s no question it is.
It %100 percent is
I can only think of Lita Ford as being as good.
Totally agreed!!
A guitarist. The fact that this guitarist is female should hold no bearing. She is great. Full stop.
This gives me goosebumps every time. Takes me back, but it was a few years later when I first saw Heart at the Oregon Jam. What a band!
Nancy is a beast on this guitar and ann has a set of pipes that just don't quit. What an inspiration 😊
Two of the most talented women in rock-n-roll. Nancy Wilson is a legendary guitarist!
Never mind gender... Two of the most talented... period!
Um, they are women though sir. If they were men we'd say they are men.
@@brokengirl8619 I noticed that
@ Christine LaBeach I agree with you ❤️🌹❤️
true - how about both? two of the most talented women AND two of the most talented artists? 😁they are awesome. if you haven't seen it watch the Kennedy Honors when they perform Stairway to heaven with Bonham's son on the drums.
Holy shit this is pure fire. Will some women please find a way to rock like this again soon?! The world needs it.
Agree totally. Have you seen/heard Orianthi Panagaris. She is pretty awesome also.
I’m still waiting, however Greta Van Fleet seems to be a good band
Yes! The world needs it and awaits impatiently!
David Hatfield
Take a listen to Gabriel and the apocalypse. They signed with pavement record just over a year ago and she can belt out the songs. They have a number of videos on CZcams. Thrll of the kill, and beauty under glass are a couple of good ones. Let me know what you think.
Larkin Poe. czcams.com/video/NOx0wyEG0bE/video.html They also do Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, SIMON AND GARFUNKEL, and some great original stuff.
This is so perfect. Great staging - amazing musicianship - and most of them can sing.
And Ann just RIPPING!
Nancy opens with beautiful finger-picking goodness, full of contrasting subtlety and verve. Then she grabs a pick, crouches tiger-like with her guitar, taking aim like it's a machine gun, and then attacks with the full power of rock 'n' roll! Amazing stuff!
The wind blowing in her blond hair and her beautiful guitar solo makes this sublime
Nancy makes one guitar sound like a whole orchestra.
One of the top 2 best bands that I've seen live. Without a doubt.
They all pulled together to make one of the best groups ever. " Heart"
That is one of the most epic guitar riffs I’ve ever heard
You got to admit the guitar playing in Barracuda ain’t to shabby either
Best female rock band EVER! So proud to have Ann and Nancy neighbors in the NW and all the recognition they brought to Seattle!
last night I watched Guardian of Galaxy!
Gooood taste baby😮 Speed and expression...super express...space ship...like that😂
The ladies probably didn't realize it but they were Metalheads. True Rocka Rollers, but heavy heavy riffs. Love them. Such wonderful musicians and vocalists
That leg kick has been the hottest thing in rock and roll EVER
Cant argue.
Susannah Hoff's side glances might be hotter.
@@imkluu man...that was a legendary moment...Bangles band mates were pissed w/all the attention she got..
Wilson sisters have had the best of the best since the early 70's and probably before then. Loved having the opportunity seeing them live in Amarillo, Texas at the Colliseum. I was right in front as a child of around 19 years old and was astonished by Nancy's ability on the acoustic. Never in my life have heard such remarkable playing as Nancy was doing. Oh I must admit both Wilson sisters were astonishingly beautiful, but I was there for the music and to this day do not regret going to that show. It was one of my first concerts it ever seen. And before going into the military. This is July, 2022 and "Crazy On You" still kicks since 1970's. Wow, they truly hit the scene back then, in my opinion still kick today. Thank you Wilson sisters, for opening my mind to facts that women can rock n roll, as good if not sometimes better.
2:43 Adam Warlock appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3
I had the great pleasure of seeing Heart in 1976 in San Diego when I came home on leave from the U.S. Army after training at Fort Benning, Georgia. I will NEVER forget that concert! These two ladies and their band were and are one of the absolute best bands ever! I had the biggest crush on Anne and Nancy when I was a young man. I think if I could’ve ever met them I probably would’ve fainted dead away!! Lol
Feel ya
Jump school?
