Roger Fisher was / is an innovator no doubt... deserves much more credit.

Heart at its best was so much more than the Wilson sisters. It was truly a BAND.

This song contains the sexiest guitar solo in rock history!

Yep, I watched Pablo Cruise play years ago, had no idea what they were playing.

No one plays it like you Rog ! Awesome !!!!

Magic Man is Mike Fisher, the one behind the scenes that you can't seem to see. Maybe get a glimpse but is more a glorious vision. Roger Fisher is the Magic Man with magic hands ................on the double neck guitar. Brothers on Earth. Forever shining Stars - kimie

Heart wouldn't be Heart without Magic Man. It's original innocence, energy, signature song. Roger Fisher (founding guitarist)

This song is one of the all time greats in rock history. Heart is very underrated as a rock “metal” band. This is their greatest song. Roger and Ann are two of the greatest. Ann’s voice is great.

It's truly amazing how fantastic Roger and Howard were together.

Turn the volume up

I saw them when I was 18... and being a good looking guy at the time tried my best to get Ann's attention and succeeded...She looked at no one else but me..SHE SANG MAGIC MAN TO ME! GOD DAMN! WHOOOHOOO! My buddies were in shock 😂😂😂

Roger Fischer ,is The Magic Man but no one even mentions the special tuning he incorporated to get that raked F chord sounding so majestic, and that last lead blues slur sounding a little different then a normal Pent min lick, pure genius on Rogers part and alot of balls too cause it wouldnt take much too break that high E string after tuning it up so high lol. Heart was never the same after he left , thanks Rog!!!

He got no respect in this band. He was the sound of Heart's music. Those early hits wouldn't have happened without him

Oddly enough most of what you wrote is incorrect. Even spelled Roger’s last name wrong. It’s Fisher without the C. Just in case you want to get all of the truth like you did about the chord. Howard played the solo in the studio by the way except for the first note. It was a riff reversed in the studio with the intro note added after. Howard taught Roger how to play all those solo bits you’re giving him credit for. He’s a great guy and excellent player l but if you’re going to talk as if you know, please do your homework and don’t reply on the rumor mill. Peace.

@@davewhiting9730 Interestingly enough, the truth about the Heart ‘sound’ comes from ALL the players playing different parts combining to make an incredible sound. But the true sound came from the minds of Mike Flicker and Howard Leese. I loved this stuff and learned everything to learn back when it was still new back in the 1970s comparing the studio recordings against live performances. The history has gotten so mangled and the Wilson sisters never told the truth about the band and how it was formed.

@@NealVan Howard doesn't get the credit he deserves. He also didn't get to flex his muscle on most Heart records. At the end of Rockin Heaven Down there is a searing guitar outro solo that gets buried under Anne's voice.

1979..11 yrs old..first album I ever bought Dreamboat Annie...played it while singing into hairbrush!!!! My God I miss this!!!!🙏💜

Thanks to your generosity Roger by offering tickets to Heart fans I was able to attend the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2013. I was honored to sit in the Mezzanine with your wonderful family and friends. That night your beautiful daughter came over to me and asked if I wanted to meet her Uncle Mike, the Magic Man. I said I would be honored. When I spoke to him I congratulated him on Heart's induction knowing that his contribution to Heart was tremendous. So you may have accidentally forgotten to thank him but please know that a huge Heart fan remembered.

This tour was my very first pro concert. They opened for Jefferson Starship. Aladdin theatre for the performing Arts Las Vegas.. is it still a thing ? Lol,

that guitar is just the best man wow I have no words I cant imagine creating something like that

Heart was amzing ..capable of ripping ur face off one minute...or lulling u to sleep with a lullaby...dabbling in a prog direction or doing staright up bluesey tones. All the guitar one could hope for...Talent all the way around ..and 2 beauiful voices and women, as its signature beautiful. Barracuda was the song of 77. Although my faves are the archer and sylvan song now...from that album.

Heart was never the same without him

Outstanding guitar work. Monstrous. Ahead of his time. Steve Via comes to mind.

I didnt grow up in the 70s but when I was a kid and first started playing guitar this was totally a song that defined it.

From 16 to 62, HEART❤ has always had the sound, the HEART❤ the amazing voice's of Ann & Nancy Wilson; from raw talents to stunning live shows, music has always needed Heart ❤❤❤ respected artists from the beginning & still sounding better today!!! Thank you, for these amazing tapes!!! Blessed is the Heart & Soul behind thy these talented musicians!!! 🙏💞🦋

This is classic Heart and pure talent before the the BS 1980's and beyond......

I’m a huge HEART ❤️ fan always have but I must say the original band was the best.❤️ Fisher rifts are the sound of Heart ❤️

Rodger Fisher , to be SURE , I have other adjectives to describe everyone , decorum prohibits their use thought. 😂😂 Ann - in this - performance - words can't do justice. Annie is so - she melts me with her voice and persona ❤️❤️. I pray one day I get to meet this magnificent , talented , SUPERSTAR ❤❤

This is GREAT!

I remember like yesterday.❤️

Cought this tour seeing Heart for the first time Aug 22, 1977 NYC been a fan ever since, nothing like the original lineup. I hope next year for there 50th anniversary they will reunite for a Album or Tour I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Rock On

Roger's solo fits the song so well. Clearly a very under rated guitar player. His rhythmic solos blend with the songs perfectly and it reminds me of how Ace Frehley's solos fit Kiss songs.

This song is perfection, truely. Mysterious lyrically, and musically. Just fantastic.

this was my favorite band when I was 10 back in 1974.

It’s fresh, it’s beautiful, it’s inspiring again!! Thank you, Roger. 🙏🏻

Man, that's Rockin!...Roger Fisher is amazing, as is the rest of the band...

July 17, 1977 Aladdin Theater for the Performing Arts, Las Vegas. An amazing night in my home town! I can never express how grateful I am for these songs; Heart's very particular sound spoke to me like no other. It was healing balm to a young man's broken life. Thank you.

Without the Fisher brothers there would be no Heart...

Thank you Roger and Micheal for posting this video. The Fisher Bros have been our "mentors" and friends when we started Barracuda (Vancouver, BC). We were very honoured to be at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame ceremonies invited by The Fisher Bros. The best part was when the "Original Lineup" performing Crazy on You. It was awesome to hang out with you guys all week. Donna and I wish you well. Great Video Rog is intense and the whole band was phenomenal.

It never gets old. It chills me just like it did when I first heard it in the ‘70s. Now I’m a great grandma with chills. Yeah, we had the best music when I was young and it’s still here! Thank God!

The first word that came to my mind watching this performance was AWSOME. The whole band was smoking hot….😱

Roger is amazing.

The brothers are great, and so are the sisters. It’s clear that relationships like that will not end up well. At the end, family is family and partners are partners

Roger Fisher WAS Heart, all the classic guitar riffs and intro's on the bands first 4 (and best) albums were him, not Nancy, she just played rhythm, when Rog left the band went downhill.

One of my favourite Heart tunes, simply rocking!

Great version,Heart could rock

American Hard Rock in it's full glory🇺🇸

Thank you Roger! You are awesome!

Once again thanks! One of my favorite Heart songs! Killer tune!👏🏻😎🎸

❤ Adored from day 1, still do!! ❤

If HEART was playing Oakland I was there. The Days on the Green, the most magical days!

👍👏👏another awesome addition to my library,, way to work that guitar Rog👏

Man we’re they having fun!!! These days I think age has finally taken its toll, Ann and Nancy are doing their own things and the passion has worn thin was quite a ride while it lasted

Rock and Roll brother

Iconic guitar intro!

🎼 Roger Fisher the original riff master🎵

Great!!!!

loved watching the fisher brothers version of heart history on reelz tv. it broke the myth that the fisher brothers got rich in heart and simply decided to become slackers with lots of women and booze and drugs. instead it caught my attention when they said dog and butterfly was supposed to be a harder rock album if not for sue ennis who i also like.

OMFG thank you so much for posting this

Man, that Les Paul was beautiful. What a great song and killer licks. The other guitarists always seemed to use that tele with the bigsby, although I've never seen him wiggle the bar in the bigsby since they rarely work well I understand.

Wish they had released more like this. It’s a shame how prefab their 80s stuff seems in comparison to this raw magic.

heart performed a concert near st louis july 1979 that had 35,000 fans.

I love this!! Thank you for posting...💚🎸

What I find interesting, is that Roger's name is credited with co-writing Magic Man, on the original release of Dreamboat Annie. I have that original album that my dad bought in 1975. But for some reason, Roger's name is no longer credited with Magic Man or Crazy on You.

anne 🔥🔥

Well, they should have! It was really fun to watch that and to follow by reading Rog's posts. Since that time, it's been a pleasure to get to know you both and see you the cool people you are. I can't believe that was so long ago... 2013?

Memo to Ann & Nancy: Next time, don't fire your lead guitarist. You guys might've made a lot of money off those '80's records but if you think they are what gave Heart such a great sound and made you a fan favorite, you're dreaming.

I always loved that synth break in this song! This looks like he might be playing a Moog but it's not the same sound as on the record. The record sounds lower, maybe just a different filter setting on one of the LFO's that night? I don't remember the story behind this song anymore, I'll have to look it up. I'm curious if Sue helped write this one? Edit: Ok I know it was written about Mike. kzread.info/dash/bejne/e658ptuznazcfaw.html

Yup the synth is definitely different, remember this is old school though, they weren't quite there yet. One of the most amazing live acts I ever saw was The Hooters (yes) they opened for Stevie Nicks....I was really impressed by their playing, and mixing prowess.

I've often wondered what the sound would've been like without Nancy's rhythm. Thinking it probably would not have been missed.

If I hear one more comment about how Roger Fisher is underrated... or any other musician I'm gonna puke. Underrated by who? Such a pedestrian comment. Anyone with a brain recognizes his talent.

Don’t make music like that anymore 😊
