FUN FACT: When Van Halen were on tour in the early '90's, Alice In Chains was their opening act. Jerry Cantrell saw Eddie's arsenal of Ernie Ball guitars and Peavey 5150 heads and cabinets and was telling Eddie how he personally could never afford all of that gear himself. After the tour, Jerry returned home to a friend's house where he was living and his friend asked Jerry what he was going to do with all his stuff in the garage. A puzzled Cantrell went to the garage and stood in awe at these brand new Ernie Ball guitars and Peavey 5150 guitar amp heads and cabinets, shipped courtesy of Eddie Van Halen.

Was in Junior High and these two gorgeous ladies came in to play an instrumental set, no one had heard of them. Their Father Mr Wilson taught at our school and brought them in, they were so cool and unpretentious. Signed everyone’s annual, talked to us all, only maybe 20 kids came to hear them play. Flash forward a year and they came again, huge hits on the charts. Maybe not as acoustic but the entire school had to have been there. And even in the wake of their huge success they were just as cool, unpretentious. Thanks ladies for the awesome memories!

Great harmonization between Jerry and Nancy.

One of the things I miss the most about that particular era: the harmonies between Jerry and Lane (Rotten Apple being my very favorite). A 2nd...soooo rare, and tasteful in that spot.

Jerry Cantrell writes music you can feel in your bones. Brother is instantly effective. What a musical genius. Alice in Chains made me want to play guitar and be in a band. I got to watch the Jerry Cantrell Band from on the side of the stage, when they came to my town, and i hung with the band after (I knew people - ha). Unfortunately, Layne had died very recently and Jerry wasnt up to being in public (or so i remember) - so he didnt hang with us -- but the rest of the guys were amazingly cool. I wish i could have met Jerry just to say Thank You. Very cool having Nancy Wilson harmonizing & the Red Rocker playing along. I got goosebumps during the intro and it got better and better. Thank You Sammy for making it happen. Thank You Nancy for driving the train for a generation. Thank You Jerry for....everything.

I was a year old when that album came out. "These Dreams" is my favorite song, brings back childhood memories.

Jerry Cantrell is so talented. Great guitarist and even better vocalist. Never hits a bum note, and Nancy's backups are awesome. Liked it.

Wow 3 legends just sitting around grooving off of each other. And Nancy's harmony is flawless. That is hard you know, being the harmony, especially on the fly, no rehearsal. She is magical!

Three observations- Sammy has the best internet show, Nancy Wilson has been beautiful forever, and Jerry Cantrell sounds like a top corporate CEO.

Jerry looks so much better. Had many worried for a while.... Live long and strong, Jerry.

Still have the hugest crush on Nancy Wilson, not in a creepy way but she is just so freaking talented and can just bring it on demand. Her harmonies on the fly during this were outstanding as well as her ability to just play that song off a sheet of paper. Of course Jerry is a pro and Sammy is a pro to the pros but anything she is in I will watch because no matter what it is or who it’s with she puts her stamp on it and brings something that nobody knew was missing until it was there.

Same here. I saw them in a relatively small town in Michigan on the Little Queen tour. I was up front, house right, cheering Nancy on the whole night. She had a flower stuck in the strings at the head of her Ovation guitar. At the end of the concert, she threw it to me. I still have it. Her playing encouraged me to work harder on my playing. I'm just an amateur musician but I'm better because of her. Back when I used to play out more my go to was to play the intro to Crazy On You then go right into Classical Gas.

All 3 are class act’s. In more ways than 1

Jerry is and will always be my favorite guitarist.

Literally a room full of my favorite musicians! I owe them all so much for my guitar playing

Anytime 3 talented musicians play together on acoustic guitars it always comes out nice like this and Nancy Wilson always makes it even better to another level. Love you girl!

I saw a very young Heart band in the early 70s play at our high school at the lunch hour. It was Hugh McRoberts junior high in Richmond BC. Never would have guessed they would become so huge. Been a fan ever since. Saw them years later headlining a show with ZZ Top as the opening act

6:12 Proof that you can be a rock goddess and still have doubts. To hear Nancy Wilson say that is shocking. They broke the mold twice: in the 70's *AND* 80s when they changed directions a bit...and both were profound. Don't get me started with AIC...I love that band to death and Jerry Cantrell is an amazing artist. This did my soul good to see these two together.

I remember seeing REO live in 1987, it was a great time. I'm such a big fan of both Sammy Hagar and Jerry Cantrell. Nancy Wilson as well. A trio of 🎸 royalty.

That musical performance was epic. I live for that shit.

The last time I saw Jerry Cantrell was at the Colourbox in downtown Seattle 1993. Dude walked in with 2 girls, one on each side then came up to the bar where me and my brother were enjoying a cocktail He looked at me and all I could do was knod my head to say hello, he returned the knod. Flash to now, 30 years later, such a cool dude, but its amazing what time does to you and also your image. Good times back in the early 90s. Glad I got to experience it. Great video of some ROCK legends jammin some tunes together!!

First concert I brought my young daughter to was Sammy with VH in Calgary Alberta. My last concert was Nancy Wilson and Styx. Was blessed to be given her guitar pick! 😍 So thankful for music and the joy it brings.

Heart was so respected amoungst metal heads, believe it or not. The sound that they had was so before it's time, and the crunch they had like on songs such as Barracuda, was just so powerful. You could find a heart album among many early metal greats such as Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Cream, Deep Purple and other early greats.

Met Jerry before the open of the Dirt tour show at Evergreen. What a hell of a nice guy. Was always a big fan and still am to this day. My most favorite guitar player from the 90's scene.

“Little Queen” is a great song

Love hearing the reedy thread of Nancy’s voice weave in and out.

Love all three of these performers. Grew up on Heart ❤️ and Sammy Hagar, then grunge burst onto the seen and AIC was one of the best. 👍🎸🎼

If you listen to Mistral Wind by heart you can totally hear how it influenced AIC. Imagine if AIC covered this song?

I really like how Jerry plays the solos like they are on the actual recording and not just winging it and going on some kind of tangent like other guitar players do...

That was a wild time for music. That sound came in and swept us up into a musical frenzy. We love classic rock and roll, but these guys were on another level. This was a tasty program. Please do this with the artists more. This was really enjoyable.

Oh man. Absolute chills up and down. What a celebration of genres and music. Such respect and love man. What an absolute treat to witness this. Miss you Layne and Eddie.

Heart was recording in Dallas in 1985 and we saw Nancy in her red sports car on the highway on the way to work. She knew I recognized her and smiled and waved at me. Her hair kinda surprised me because it was so red. I saw NANCYW on her license plate as we were about to pass the car and sure enough it was her. I was about seven feet from her. So it was a huge deal to me. I used to listen to over an hour of Heart every morning in the early 80s on a homemade 8-track mix tape after getting high. I had an entire garbage bag of pure buds. It was heaven.

It's Father's Day! June 16th 2024! I just so happened to have watched this this morning! It most definitely made my day! You guys blended in real well! And of course Sammy had to put his two cents in! All great guitar players! And singers! Unless of course you've had too much rum! This was an excellent moment In Time!

I was expecting Nancy and Sammy to mention something about the drummer Denny Carmassi. He started with Sammy in Montrose and played with him off and on up until Van Halen, and then he was a member of Heart when they had their second wave of hits in the 80s.
