If you can reduce Page and Plant to tears your doing something right!

This song was written after a tabloid reporter implied the sisters were lovers. Their record company suggested it to increase record sales. “If the real thing don’t do the trick, you better make up something big.”

That is because you are older now....older music gets better as we get older, that's how you know its quality. HANDS DOWN best female rock voice!!

Welcome to Ann and Nancy Wilson. Their catalog is incredible. All-time greats.

You really need to dig into their whole catalog. Even as they've gotten older, their voices have held strong and they sound and play as good as they ever have. More Heart!

Have you seen Heart’s tribute live to Led Zeppelin sitting right there in front of them at the Kennedy Center? They improve on Stairway to Heaven like you wouldn’t believe. They are incredible!!

I saw them in '77, in fact it was the day Elvis died, August 16th 1977. They played Zeppelin's "Rock n Roll" to close out the encore and dedicated it to the King.

Just wait until you hear the Wilson sisters cover led Zeppelin's stairway to heaven!

This song always reminds me of my husband, who passed away last August. For the first time in awhile, this made me smile! I wasn't the good girl my mom and pops thought I was. When I was 16, I enjoyed drag racing. My dad was always restoring some muscle car. My first car was a 1972 Chevelle and was fast as hell. One Saturday night a boy showed up with his 1969 Nova talking all kinds of smack. His laugh was loud when he found out that I was up next. I was 4'11" and sat on pillows. I got to the line and put my Heart 8 track in the Pioneer system and proceeded to leave him in the smoke! 7 years later I married the boy! We were married for 31 years! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to smile in a week where I just wanted to curl up with my sorrow and sleep

Yes I'm old lol but seeing Ann Wilson live in her twenties and then see her bring down the house in her early 60's is crazy. Sebs Ann Wilson feels every word she sings and you will too.

If this song blows you away hearing it in 2023, imagine what it did to us when we first heard it in 1977.

Great song! Ann Wilson has one of the most powerful female voices. And her sister Nancy can play a mean guitar. "Heart" have had so many great hits such as "Magic Man", "Crazy On You", "What About Love", "Never", "Dog & Butterfly", "These Dreams" etc.

You have to watch their Stairway to Heaven cover at the Kennedy Honors Led Zeppelin . You will LOVE it!

They aged very well. Look at the Led Zeppelin Stairway to heaven tribute.

This song is about the music industry and how it takes advantage of their artist!

This song is about how all of the record Company’s said that woman couldn’t play rock like the guys so the wrote this son and barracuda was the record company.

Fabulous song. I think the drumming is exceptional.

I remember buying this 8 track. I was a teenager, driving my 1969 chevy custom van and loving Heart!

Ann was considered the female Robert Plant. Female rock groups were extremely new and not since Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane had a female shown such powerful vocals The Wilson sisters were more than just a one trick oddity. They were actually talented. Excelling at songwritng and musicality. They lasted on into the 80"s. The music had to change from rock to more middle of the road MTV commercial fodder for the masses. The newer generations wanted the trendy pop glitz and glamor and slick video production. Heart were 70"s girls ...earthy and real. So glad I got to grow up during those times. Good vibes. Great music. The world before high tech. The world before it went mad. Thanks for your reaction and great appreciation of the Wilson sisters and their incredible band. Those guys were a huge part in what made Heart great.

They did a tribute to Led Zeppelin for the Kennedy Center Honors performing Stairway to Heaven, top notch! Available on KZread.

Sisters...Nancy voice too,plus she is an awesome guitarist as well

"Crazy on you" and "magic man" are the next heart songs you should listen to in my opinion. Great reaction as always.

Thank you so much for doing my song!!! You really made this old man's day!!! Danny speaks so highly of you 🙏 Since you are doing Country now "The Conversation" with Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams JR is a great song with two Country Icons singing a song about the King 👑 of Country music Hank Williams Sr Danny said you have it in your DISCORD

This isn't actually live. This the studio audio over a live video. This same video with the true live audio is here on YT as well. The whole band is fantastic live. My favourite live show of theirs is Alive In Seattle from 2002. It's on YT as well. Not a bad track on there and Ann's at her best there, imo. When she hits "The Note" in Alone, it's spine tingling.

I prefer the version with her live vocals. She sounded so great.

it's great you appreciate a good guitar riff. I grew up on both 70s and 80s music and can't decide which one I like better

Great reaction! Heart was HUGE in the 70's, for obvious reasons. Next from them, I suggest "Crazy on You", and "Magic Man".

They did 'Stairway to Heaven' honoring Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center in 2012. Ann was 62 when she did it & it was an amazing performance. If you know the song, check that performance out. If not, check out Led Zeppelin's version first & compare. Outstanding performance. The sisters are rock legends.

Seattle is so proud of our ladies!!!!! Give Magic Man a try.

Remember these are the same 2 girls who sang Stairway to Heaven..The Led Zeppelin Tribute

it holds up FAR better than i would have ever thought. we didn't quite know just how good it was at the time, even though it was a huge hit.

Heart is an Album rock band. Their songs are best listened to in order off the album. Like: Dreamboat Annie, Dog and Butterfly, they have themes that run throughout the entire albums...

I took my daughter to this when she was 9..outdoors in Haeaii. It was fantastic!

They're talking about the record company in this song.

Talking about musicians taking it out on management and so on… Queen - Death on Two Legs is another great one.

Kennedy Center Honors was awesome! The song "Alone" showcases her vocal range. "Crazy On You" is another good one. Great band!

I saw Heart in concert in 1987, in Memphis TN,at the MidSouth Coliseum,and they rocked the house down! Ann's vocals are unmatched, and Nancy is a guitar playing beast. They are one of the best bands that has ever played!

For the 1970's this was considered really aggressive, now it's a true head banger of a tune. As others have said this one is guaranteed to be near the top of the 'Speeding Ticket' playlist! That thumping riff will be stuck in your head for days. Now you've heard it the next time you hear the first 5 or 6 notes and you know it instantly! This is also commonly used when TV shows feature a certain classic American Plymouth Muscle car of the same name.

She's the greatest female rock vocalist of all time. And her sister is a huge rock star.

This song is played everywhere on everything for a reason! Yes, it's of course an epic song, one of the best in rock!

Love y'all bringing this back, it's been at least a decade since I last listened to this one. One of my absolute favs from the 70's. The history of this song is amazing. Respectfully, Sebs, love your reaction, yet the story behind it is best told by the songwriters themselves, as interviewed and pieced together by another KZread classic, Professor of Rock: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nXyemqieXaXPfrg.html I hope you don't feel I'm imposing, I presume you will also appreciate the story of the sleazy behaviour that that triggered the creation of this masterpiece of telling off that ****** that dissed these two amazing singing sensations and rock star sisters back in the 70's. This huge hit was the way to put the idiot in his place!

I was 13 when Heart hit it big and DANG those girls have been my role models ever since! Whenever I'm feeling beaten down I play that song and sing/scream through it! I ALWAYS feel better/stronger after!❤🤜🤛👊

There are a bunch of songs by different artists about their bad treatment by their recording companies and agents. Working For MCA, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, and on and on.

Such a great band. Another performance is definitely worth checking out is from fears back. They did a tribute to Led Zeppelin. They perform stairway to Heaven for the Kennedy Centre honours really worth checking out. It actually has a Jimmy page if I recall in tears at a certain point the song. If you want another really good man to check out if you’re not familiar with them especially if you want another really really talented guitar player to ZZ Top.

The barracudas in my life, were such, because they were narcissists. I was raised with not 1, not 2, but THREE narcissists!!! It was a bummer!!!

The 70’s were wild. Back then we would get 8 track tapes for our car and the album for your house.

“Alone” should be next, the official video ❤

My family was a bunch of barracudas, except for my dad. Once my dad died, it was on! Finally, I cut them all out of my life, and for the past 13 years life has been peaceful with my dogs, kids and grandkids, and loyal friends. My instincts are sharper and I can spot a barracuda before I let them in.

Magic Man, Straight Up, Alone, Crazy on you....its a deep rabbit hole

Oh my gosh! For boss guitar..watch their live performance of 'Crazy on You"

I grew up with this band as one of my favorites! You need to listen to ❤️ HEART sing STAIR WAT TO HEAVEN . In honor of LED ZEPPELIN !

13 years old when this song came out had a little Radio Shack stereo and I was in love I was I was deeply in love

Ann Wilson is one of the top five women vocalists of rock. If I am correct, this was about a slimy record producer or promoter that rubbed them the wrong way, not literally.

This particular video is shown over the studio version of the song. But I saw Heart live in about 1986 or so and they sounded really great in concert too. It was an outdoor concert and I remember my girlfriend sitting on top of my shoulders so she could see. It was an awesome concert.

Heart is incredible! I have seen them live 4-5 times! Amazing! Ann is the best female rocker EVER! and Nancy? the blonde sister? BEST female guitarist and among the to 10 rock guitar players ever! "Crazy on You" is great. Red Velvet Car is so good - but we cannot forget "Magic Man!"

I saw them live in 1979 The performance was just as strong as here. Ann had such power and control of her gifts that in concert she could belt and never went hoarse nor lost range.

I saw Heart in a bar in Vancouver, BC in 1975. I was literally dancing 5 feet from them. It was AWESOME!

I was a teenager in western Canada saw them live many times and they rock sound better live so epic. You should check out the live version of crazy on you or Alone enjoy. This song is on guitar hero as well. thanks for reacting very fun.

You will clearly love "Magic Man" and "Crazy On You" and "White Lightning and Wine" as well.

Thank You Sebs for doing this!!!! Ring them Bells with Layne and Heart was special!!! But Heart are the Queens of Metal! Yet another Seattle band kicking Booty

What I love about this sons… is it opens with intensity and holds onto it every step of the way to the end

While this is a video of a live performance, the audio is actually the album track synced to the video. They do however sound very good live. I saw Heart in 1979 in Vancouver, Canada and again in 1990 in Würzburg, Germany

Yeah, bro, that's the studio version dubbed over live footage. Just FYI. '70s Heart was great, before they became an '80s power ballad act. Roger Fisher is one of my guitar inspirations.

An intro so awesome, Iron Maiden made it their standard guitar riff. ;) :D

Watch more Heart videos! these ladies are awesome! this song is about tabloids and their record company! rumors were about the sisters being lovers and the record company didnt think a female lead rock group would sell records! this is their way of saying kiss my ass!

Heart has been my fav band since I was 11!! Seen them so many times and they are better in person than studio! Frigging amazing!

Good for you man... their catalog is amazing

The drummer ❤❤❤❤❤

Such a rocking tune, awesome vocals and band!

I saw them in 77 and circa 86 ! They were sooo good and talented !

I was 19 when Heart recorded Barracuda, & at 65 it still gets my head banging 😊🤟

We were very fortunate to have great music like this ih highschool. Very very cool generation after generation still dig it!

So much power & simultaneously understated. She could do both, expertly!

My favorite of all time, Hometown band from Seattle. I have seen them 9 time once in Miami Beach. One of my friends went to HS with the two.

For context of how amazing Anne Wilson is. She performed this song with her band a couple of years ago at 70 at Wacken, the biggest Metal festival in the world. And fkn killed it !

I love the song, Dreamboat Annie ... of course! LOL Nancy Wilson's guitar playing is legendary! Ann is great, as always!

Ann Wilson - Top Female voice in Rock Nancy Wilson - Top Female Guitarist in Rock. Anything from Heart’s Rock Hall induction concert is a must see.

You definitely need more Classic Rock in your life Sebastian!!!

Best time ever to be growing up in ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Gen X!! I'm so sad for all of you other generations. You missed the best that life had to offer. Life before TSA. Fabulous time to be alive. Sadly we know what we lost.

I reckon my dad's first wife was a barracuda. He met her in Belgium at the end of the war and fell hard; she wrung what she could out of him over the next few years, then ran off with a younger man. She used him for smuggling - she'd hide things in his luggage without telling him so he looked innocent and wasn't searched at customs! Of course, that only worked until he found out, after which he not only searched his own bags beforehand, he looked nervous and got checked. It was lucky for him she was canny enough to stop before he got arrested, since he'd have got the blame. Anyway, fantastic song!

@elvwood Re: your comment, found an interesting article that youtube won't let me link. If you search "Nylon pirates: the postwar craze for cut-price stockings" you can find and read entire article. An excerpt: Postwar Britain was a smuggler’s paradise, thanks to a potent combination of high tariffs, punitive tax rates, rationing, price control and a general scarcity of goods. A ready market existed for anything in short supply. As well as traditional cargoes of tobacco and spirits, smugglers ran tinned foods, butter, cosmetics, razors, records, fountain pens and lighters into the country. Of these novel cargoes, nylons proved the most popular, rivalling the established traffic in tobacco and spirits. And while postwar conditions made smuggling lucrative, they also made it low risk. A manpower shortage left an understaffed Customs department struggling to police the Irish land border, as well as an 11,073-mile coastline and roughly 600 private airfields.
