Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart - "Dog & Butterfly" | 2011 Legends Series 

Fan since my teens , saw them a few times in large halls. In 2007 they came to my northern Arizona 1200 seat auditorium and I don’t know what the hell was up with the audience.. I brought my 11 yr old daughter and we played it 1970s style, dressed proper 70s and went downstage and danced with a only a few 15 yr old girls.. there I was in my late 40s , and we rocked it. Nancy was really appreciative , bowing with her guitar as she played to me and Ann would wink at me and cheer me on. They look a bit disappointed that the audience didn’t rally after songs and I was truly embarrassed.. I thought , was I rude, no one said a thing not even security…. I’ll teach my daughter how it’s done, always have. We are both musicians and paying proper respect to the Queens of rock n roll was duly noted that night ! If you haven’t seen them sing Stairway to Heaven as Led Zeppelin received US Presidential Award. It’ll bring you to tears and the band cried too. So so beautiful!

Ann has one of the most powerful and beautiful voices on the planet, with Nancy playing and harmonizing beautifully as always!

What a great blend of vocals. They fit so well together! Love Ann and Nancy

As a teenager, these 2 women made me feel that anything was possible in life. Music was my best friend throughout all of my life. These 2 strong, amazingly talented women have helped form my life. Will be listening to Heart from all decades until I die.

Oh Ann... oh Nancy... two beautiful ladies with such beautiful voices!

They will make the list of best and most influential rock bands ever! So good!!!

This sone was some of the first sheet music I bought when I started playing guitar. I learned a lot from that purchase. Danny’s Song and Landslide were the other 2 I bought that day. Recommended.

Still a beautiful song. Still two beautiful ladies.. Thank you both for all the beautiful things youve given us We love you.

Two of the most talented and wonderful ladies in Rock AND Roll. I bow down to them both.

The unmistakable two (2) voices of Ann and Nancy Wilson will forever soar through time on a diamond wave like an *entire* angelic choir - kimie

3 acoustics. gorgeous voice, great lyrics, and Nancy's right hand.... perfection in a single song.

Ann and Nancy Wilson the queens of rock and roll the sisters of Rock

I miss my own sisters 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤ great song still 2 this very day yup

Although I enjoyed the number of Heart's hits and the various songs they've output through the years, Dog & Butterfly is not only (by far) my favorite Heart song, but, in my opinion, is one of the greatest popular songs ever written and recorded. In history. Period.

I had the privilege to see Heart live in the 80's, they were amazing then and continue to be so now. Brings back so many memories and I just love Ann and Nancy's voices together. Chills......

I've been in love since the 70's. And it's never grown cold

Doesn’t matter what year I feel the emotion from them & I know they’ve been through it & I wish I understood then when I was that butterfly. Idk what I survived for yet. Thank you girls for giving some crazy understanding expression of innocent true love & a wild & careless dawg w no way to see the dream long gone- it’s just a fight to finish based on hope & faith. Timeless wisdom. We need you, Heart. We love love u! Thanks for the merciful sweet sorrow once again. 🤟❤️🙋‍♀️

I'm in the kitchen making a smoothie with my glasses off and I couldn't see exactly who this was but I knew it was a Rock n Roll Hall of Fame video so I clicked and started listening and was like ok it sounds good but who is it??? As the voice belted out I said oh WOW it sounds like Heart so went and got my glasses and BOOM a big smile on my face :) one of my childhood favorites 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Always a favorite of mine , sounds beautiful ❤️!

Nancy WHOA!!!

I love this song ❤

Thank you for your Dog & Butterfly video!! Heart❤️ Ann & Nancy Wilson are an inspiration to all!! Glad you're in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame!! Long live Heart forever!! Life is better with music. Take Care.🎤🎸🎵🥁

This song was written in 1978. Still holds up and resonates very strongly.

Just Beautiful Ann and Nancy. Would Love to see them live again!

Absolutely beautiful this brings a tear to my eye.❤

4:08 - Don't worry, I don't think anyone noticed. And brilliant recovery. Always loved this favorite from Heart.

The Wilson sisters co-authored this piece with Sue Ennis. Sue caught Ann’s attention by humming a Beatles song❕ Ann Wilson got the idea for the lyric of “Dog & Butterfly” (1978) one day when she looked out her window and saw a dog chasing a butterfly : “doggedly” determined, it wouldn’t give up❗️ Dixit Ann : “The chase took on another meaning for me. LIKE SO MUCH IN LIFE, THE SPIRIT IS UNDAUNTED, YOU KEEP GOING AFTER IT.” Nancy cites “Dog & Butterfly” as the one song that captures the essence of her sibling : “It really represents [Ann’s] curiosity with all things spiritual - in the Yoda sort of way. She’s always had this propensity […] to look for the wise old man or the wisdom of an elderly man. A humanitarian spiritual guide in your life. I think that’s exactly who Ann was and still is.” This FAN FAVORITE has made its way into most Heart concerts : a nice change of pace, truly intimate and zen, with Ann and Nancy both playing ACOUSTIC GUITARS. ONE MUST-LISTEN❕ 💜🦋💜

These two havent aged at all, wow!

Excellent performance as usual.

This is so awesome! I saw Heart 5 times live. Cheers!

Haha! I had a friend back in the day who loved everything Death Metal, he was 6'5" and 330 lbs... but for all that he was a gentle giant I used sing this to him and it upset him. His name was Doug... "Doug and Butterfly"! Great performance, far better than my rendition! Cheers!

All timer song! Best female band ever.

Holy shit Anne will she ever lose a step?!

This song reminds me of my granddaddy when I was younger and how he used to Spoil me bc my Fad was not around How I love him

God blesses Some of us with Gifts. He dusted these folks well with Gift Dust

Amazing talent, voices and beauty! Love them!

Wow. Wow. Fu*#ing wow.

Whenever I'm walking my dog and we encounter a butterfly, I stop and start singing this to her ❤️she just looks at me like I'm crazy. Hahaha

That was impressive.

so beautiful

Happy Birthday Nancy 🎂

This music hurts it's all to real

The Best.

She sounds exactly like she did in 2002’s “Alive in Seattle” voice doesn’t age

Is the about coming out? I sense the lyrics imaginings and what it was like in a small town.

When George Jones sang whose gonna fill their shoes, he was just talking about country

❤Charles Adkins

It is time for a female super group. Ann and Nancy Wilson, Pat Benatar and Joan jett

They keep this up and one day they stop playing these small venues and be able to play in real stadiums.

❤ my father carried shame It was never his to carry Shame on all of you

Why do acoustic guitars always sound so crappy plugged in compared to how they sound naturally? It’s like all the sustain and resonance is clipped off.

Epic

For my father
