Ann Wilson, one of the greatest female rock vocalists of all time. Nancy Wilson, one of the great guitarists, male or female and also a great singer.

"Shredding" is the word you were looking for...she was shredding that guitar, brother!

Hard to shred on an acoustic guitar but Nancy did it!!

I've always put Nancy Wilson in my top 10 acoustic guitar players of all time, and that's male or female. She was absolutely incredible.

That feeling is when you’ve discovered a fold in space time, when a song from 40 years ago sounds like yesterday and time dissolves away. It’s spiritual.

There is no possible way to make you understand how it felt to be standing in a crowded living room of a basement apartment, and having someone put this album on the turntable of the stereo system, and to hear this incredible band, fronted by these two incredible women, for the first time. It was the summer between my high school graduation and my feeble attempt at college studentry. That first listen was mind-blowing, and all I could think was that I was damned fortunate to be hearing it on a good stereo system for the first time, rather than on the crummy sounding am radio in my dad's old car

Ann and Nancy, man. Seriously epic talent.

We watch because you help us remember the best era for music!!!

While the track is a story from Ann Wilson's history, it has become very much Nancy Wilson's signature song because of the acoustic guitar mastery she displays in the introduction. I saw them live on the Dog & Butterfly tour in 1978. They were (and still have been in the 2000s) a fantastic live show. While they have been icons for women in rock, they were legends in the Seattle music scene, so much so that they were seen as heroes for the rising grunge bands of the 90s that came from that area. Members of Alice in Chains have performed with them over the years.

Salvo, you need to do that entire Dreamboat Annie album!! You will not regret it whatsoever!! The Wilson sisters & bandmates were an absolute force! Ann's voice, Nancy's expert guitar chops...it was a complete package!

It was stunning. From start to finish.

I lived in this era and it was the best ever.

Crazy on You is classic rock at its finest. Saw Heart live at the Cal Jam 2 in Ontario Ca. in 1978. The Wilson sisters could rock with the best of them for sure. Thanks for the reaction.

She's majestic! Seeing a woman do this was so beautiful to me as a young lady way back when!

Nancy is truly an amazing guitar goddess and Ann’s piercing vocals that are still just as banging in 2022 as they were in 1978 just blows my mind!!!! I saw them in 1988 & they were killer!!!! ☮️

Wow, the way Nancy seamlessly threw her riffs from Hijinx into the intro was beautiful!

Awesome! I’m so happy you chose this version because it showcases Nancy’s amazing guitar skills at the beginning. They are so good live! ❤️❤️

The music of my youth! Thank you so much for appreciating it. Heart was incredible!

Everything is real here. There’s no corrections and auto tuning or anything like that. This is pure raw talent and the 70s is full of it. I wish you were there! I’m glad you can enjoy it now. It was an awesome time. Live performances were really sweet.

As you noted, we are lucky that this performance was recorded and preserved so future generations are able to enjoy and see this amazing exemplary performance from 70s.

Listen to that studio version all the way through without stopping it will blow your mind

Nancy killed it, so many feels watching this version!

Its why i come to you reactors.. I know how i felt when i first heard this song...just on radio! No VH1 or MTV yet. If you didnt have ticket money, you were SOL!. But you still could still feel it deeply in your soul!. Now we have it for our eye candy and can watch it with you and feel it all over again.

I've loved them for almost 40 years now, going to see them again in August and I can't wait. They're just so incredible live!

Another great song from HEART is the song "Straight On" There's a live performance of it up hear on KZread from 1977 or 1978..I think it's from the same concert as this one you just reviewed..Another song of theirs to check out is "Dog And Buttterfly".Theres an acoustic version of it up on KZread from 2002..Though they did record it back in the 70s..Its a beautiful song..Another song they have done is a cover of a Led Zeppelin song, "The Battle Of Evermore"Get a chance give a listen to them..They are great...

I love Heart’s lyrics because they’re feminine without being saccharine or overly sentimental the way some singers get. Without Heart, I never would have known love is evening breeze touching your skin. Without Heart, I never would have dreamt I was a willow bent down over a stream of sweet flowing love. And yes, they sound just as good as they’re recordings.

Heart was and has always been adventurous in the studio and so well-executed on stage; I've loved their shows since I first saw them in '78. I do recommend you try their "Love Alive" and "Cook With Fire" for deeper tracks held dear by Heart fans.

Actually, "Love Alive" is my favorite Heart song. You can feel a Zeppelin influence in it's mystical vibe.

Love this song. It takes me back when the traveling carnival would come in town and they would have this song cranking.

Yes! This brought tears to my eyes. I sang this song with my little nameless garage band as a young teen in the late 70s. They were ROCKER CHICKS like no one else. Heart was everything. Now PLEASE react to the whole album. Dreamboat Annie is of one piece. You can’t take it apart.

I grew up during this time period and we were spoiled for choice for great music back then. Unfortunately I never saw Heart live but I did see Led Zeppelin amongst other bands. It was great! Cheers 🇨🇦

Saw them back in the early 90s and they were so good!!! You have to check out these dreams next you haven't heard Nancy sing yet

Ann and Nancy Wilson are legends. Floor Jansen's voice has been compared by many to Ann's powerful and beautiful woman-in-charge style and talent. Nancy, meanwhile, is legendary in her own right for her guitar prowess, good looks, and energetic style of showmanship. She was one of our signature lead customers to endorse our Ovation Roundback guitar that was originally invented and manufactured at our company. Our CEO, who incidentally was also the inventor of our U.S. Navy Seasprite helicopter, was once asked in a televised interview by Aviation Week & Space Technology Magazine how did a military helicopter company ever get involved in making guitars. Without skipping a beat, he answered because guitars and helicopters are really the same thing at their essence. They are both machines designed to control vibrations in a certain way and make them do what you want them to do. Pretty good analogy and an interesting viewpoint! I did some of finite element analysis on the Ovation guitar design back in the day. Sadly, I never got to meet Ann & Nancy in person even though I think they visited our plant headquarters once for a marketing promotional appearance.

I saw Heart in concert 6 times ! More than any other band !

It is bands like Heart....who are truly an American Treasure. I was born in 1960....this was the era that I grew up in....the BEST music era. Heart is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. This performance was perfect....Nancy Wilson is THE most underappreciated guitarists in history. She is amazing......AND has a great voice (These Dreams, Stranded) as well. Ann Wilson is an ICON in my opinion the GREATEST voice EVER in Rock Music......Freddie Mercury #1, Ann Wilson #1A.......More Heart, please. LOVE them !!!!! ❤❤❤

It's awesome that you can go in time that you have never been to and appreciate the best music in the world, my opinion of course. You're one of the lucky ones because you are open to giving it a chance. I think Led Zeppelin opened the door for you. Love your videos because of your sincerity

One of my all time favorite Heart songs.

I haven't heard a lot of these songs in decades. Watching someone who is new to the music and gets such enjoyment out of it is fun.

Nancy’s guitar intro on this is iconic. One of the best guitarists of all time

Ann Wilson is top shelf. Saw them live many times (before 1983) - one of the best live shows Ive ever seen.

Ann: Greatest female lead, pop/rock genre, 1963-1987. Nancy, the guitarist, played at least 4 different instrumets, wrote, arranged and added vocals. Sisters were a singing duo as young children.

Yes ,it brings back a lot of memories ,I remember back in 79 or 80 kicking back with a friend in his Crysler Cordova listening to this on his cassette tape ,those times where golden!..😍 Great review & reaction!..👍

Did the car have rich Corinthian leather? 🤔

You mentioned that it is so cool to be able to "...travel back to the past..." I first saw Heart in 1978...in Seattle...on New Year's Eve. Sammy Hagar opened. Can you imagine??? When I watch videos like this the years fall away and I become "there" again. Great memories sometimes need reinforcement... especially at my age 😂

Heart is popular because they are great

Lol... Almost forgot. Roger Fisher is a really good guitarist. He's the guitarist next to Nancy and in September of 2021, he played lead guitar for Ann Wilson's solo concert.

Its why i had to buy the series Midnight Special...to have copies of these wonderful musicians in their prime!

So cool you young people checking out an diggin' our music! I saw Heart live in 1977. Mind blowing.

We cannot put in to words being a child in the 60 & 70's. Led Zep, Heart, which are sisters by the way Ann and Nancy Wilson. We sat in line for days at the box office to score great seats. Tom Petty, Neil Young. We could talk for days. Thanks for finding your crazy parents and grandparents plaice. see why we're so cool?

Nancy’s Jimmy Page influence shines on that intro.

All I can say is August 16th, 1977. Front row, center balcony, Convention Hall, Asbury Park, NJ. Great memory. It's interesting that younger fans of music are watching groups I grew up listening to or saw in concert decades ago. Anything from Queen Rocks Montreal 1981, I saw them in '80 & '82, Journey Live in Houston '81, I saw them in '82 &'83, Styx from the seventies or eighties, I saw them on '78 & '83, Bryan Adams, saw him in 1983 opening for Journey, Billy Squier saw him in 1981 and 1982 opening fir Queen.

How does a person play guitar like that? Nancy is crazy sick talented!!!!!

I appreciate your appreciation. I'm glad I found you.

CLASSIC song from the 70s

I think the word you're looking for is virtuoso

Had the pleasure of seeing these lovely ladies and the band 48 years ago! I'm 65

I was in my early twenties in this era. Fun being alive and at this age when there was so much talent. I had a blast as you could imagine.

Imagine hearing this song onboard an aircraft carrier on a six month Mediterranean Cruise off the coast of Italy in 1977 that was my introduction. The intro of Nancy was an echo of the guitars i had heard in Spain so I was WOW this is a female playing this. The rest of Dreamboat Annie as a sailor out at sea I appreciated this album from the waves of the sea hitting shore to the sounds of the seagulls a welcoming sight because they are testament that land is near. Thanks for this.

I saw this concert in mid 70's. I ve seen them multiple times. I even did some time at same studio in late 70's in Vancouver.

This is an amazing group! They were underrated for being women, but these ladies rock!

Pure, raw talent!!

Can’t get enough Heart!

Oh, you don't know the half of it. Back then, commercial rock stations would program max one novelty song per hour, and women were considered a novelty. There was no Internet, no ipods, not even CDs; radio was where a band got heard. But they had to compete with every other "girl group", plus "Monster Mash" and "Werewolves of London" and f*ing "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha Ha", for that one song per hour slot on the radio. Heart helped to blow the doors off that shit. They're a HUGE influence on me. Especially Anne, because I'm a singer, and especially this song, because of those killer runs in the chorus.

Brought me to tears.

So good watching with a newbie. Makes it all new again and wonderful love you

Nancy's guitar solo at the beginning is called "Silver Wheels" on the studio track. Interestingly, not only does she repeat one of the sections here, she also inserts a section that comes from a song from "Dog and Butterfly," called "Hijinx." That album was released the same year as this concert.

I saw them live 3 times between 1976 and 1978. Once in a small bar on the MS coast.

The '70's,,,,ya had to be there. 💥👍😎

Oh yeah baby... crazy good 😊😊😊😊

Male or female makes no difference. Ann Wilson has the greatest voice in the history of rock. INCREDIBLE!

I saw Heart live the summer before they played the Kennedy Center Honors for LZ. The sisters freaking ROCKED. The guitar and the voice not lost a step. (Plus we got a preview of what they were prepping for the Kennedy Center.) No one wanted to leave.

I saw Heart live in either 1976 or 1977 (I am old, can’t recall exactly lol) at Nelson’s Ledges Park in Ohio. This was so fantastic live! I’m a virtually lifelong Heart fan. So happy you chose this one!

incredible voice

I SAW HEART IN 1978! VANCOUVER, CANADA THANKS FOR THIS BLAST FROM MY PAST! The thousands of fans on the Stadium Floor were so tightly packed together like sardines, I could lift the bottom of both feet off the floor and REMAIN VERTICAL! A SWEATY Good Time was had by all! So lucky to be a Teen growing up in the 70s!

Thank you. You are such a beautiful person. It is so nice to be able to open these time capsules and enjoy them with others like music is intended to be. Keep up the great work!

Ann has the best female rock voice ever

Yes, they did pave the way for women in rock, along with Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane) & Stevie Nicks/Christine MacVie (Fleetwood Mac) Joan Jet, Debbie Harry (Blondie). Anne has the great rock voice (Joan Jet & Pat Benatar also had strong voices) & were respected by all the great rock bands of the time (Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Queen, etc). They are still performing & their voices are still amazing!

Agree. Out of all of them I think their niche is straight ahead hard rock. Grace was more acid rock and Stevie/Christine more pop rock. Joan is hard rock as well, but more punk. All of these ladies were part of an era that I don't think we'll ever see again with all the technology and pitch correction thats used now.

Saw them on this tour and in the Bebe Le Strange era. I was in a band as a youngster with guys that were 10 yrs my senior. And Ill never forget the guitarists statement in our band about Ann Wilson: "Id give my left nut to sing like Ann Wilson" lol... She was also every young boys dream rock n roll girl. The Mount Rushmore of female rock singers from the 70s and 80s is: Grace Slick, Ann Wilson and Pat Benatar. But Ann wins imo. She had the range, control, soul and power. Just an amazing amazing talent. Notice how she pretty much even sang the song better in concert here than the album version. She was over the top mad skilled at vocals.

Thank god we have KZread so the younger generation can experience all this awesome music from the past.

Transcendent. Maybe their greatest song.

Best appreciation for this magnificent lady, thank you!! It was wonderful watching you feel her talent.

My older siblings taught me so much. I was 10 this year.

“Silver Wheels” is the instrumental Nancy was playing before she started playing “Crazy On You.”

we used to cruise our local roadways where everyone congregated on Saturday nights and listen to Heart. that was a good time in the old days.

I saw them live what a great show!

Nancy is playing an "Ovation" acoustic/electric in the opening. I have one. The nice thing about them is you can play it like any acoustic, but you can also plug it into an amp to rock out. Great guitar.

I'm glad you checked out the studio version!! The live was actually pretty good, but the studio is perfect

Saw them live in '77!

I was in my early-to-mid 20s during this time, and saw them live 3 times...couldn't get enough! 😍❤🤘🏻Ann's voice hasn't lost much, even today!

I think this was from the LEGENDARY 3 day concert fest - Texxas Jam 78

I got to see Heart live in the summer on 1979, UNFORGETABLE

I was at that concert! Yay!

Saw them at Cal jam 2 in 78 and in Hawaii in 80.
