Battle of Evermore, Heart & Jason Bonham, Susquehanna Bank Center, Camden, New Jersey; July 3rd, 2013; Heartbreaker Tour, Led Zeppelin Covers Set, 1st song of the encore
Wow! Wow! WOW!!! This never gets old and never will!! The Goddesses of Rock really do this song justice. They put their souls into this performance and I get chills every time I listen/watch. It. is. amazing. Love these ladies! 😍
Nailed it!!! Heart just does amazing covers of Zeppelin! Nancy plays as good as Jimmy Page ever did, and Anne has a Robert Plant quality to her voice! The harmonies were spot on! What a pair!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
the battle of evermore is not an easy song to play, they are the musicians to pull off a great cover of this zeppelin classic. Very good work Ann and Nancy!!!!!!
There has never been, nor will there ever be, a female rock vocalist as good as Ann Wilson. And even now, in what - her 60s - her voice is every bit as good as it ever was.
I am not a fanatical fan an oxymoron I know, but I saw them live 2 years ago in Las Vegas and I have never heard anyone belt out songs like Anne in that age, most vocalist deteriorate with age.
Saw ya in 77 and 78 ,,, AWESOME both times,, and saw ya at Superdome Day of Rock n Roll,,,, This is outstanding,,, Perfect,,,,glad ya are doing fine after all these years, ya both look and sound Great,,, i'm a Conservative,, but I still love ya
I am in awe of these women! Ann's voice has held up spectacularly through the years--she is SUCH a BADASS! And Nancy is right along side her in her guitar chops/vocals. This Led Zep cover is phenomenal! Okay with that said, the thing that I would like to point out about the Wilson sisters as well is that THEY GIVE IT THEIR ALL--EVERY SINGLE TIME. They do NOT dissapoint in live shows EVER! There are so many older artists who are tired of their own material & just phone-in their performance when playing them. For example, Elton John all but makes it painful to watch him sing/play "Your Song." I feel like he HATES it, is so TIRED of it....and I understand why---playing it for 40+ years but he makes it so evident that he doesn't want to be playing it. This CANNOT BE SAID FOR HEART! They perform "Barracuda" just as energetically as they did in the 70s-80s-90s & on. This truly makes them a fan-focused band. THEY may be tired of playing/singing it, but they know their audience desires to hear it. That makes them the consummate professionals & I respect them now more than ever. YOU ROCK, LADIES!
The ultimate powerhouse of both writing and performance. From start to finish. As an instrumentalist myself, I've rarely seen anyone with Nancy's far-ranging musicality. Always everything's there.
what CAN"T Ann and Nancy do, especially in concert?? They just keep getting better over the years..Heart truly is an "everything" band, like the Beatles, and Led Zeppelin. Ann truly is the queen of rock and roll!! Right up there with Janis Joplin, too bead they were not in the 60's and Woodstock and all that!! I am glad they are here now, but they would have totally blown minds at the Monterey Pop Festival, Fillmore West, Avalon Ballroom, Winterland, San Francisco in 1967 scene.. and Woodstock ..
This is one of those rare instances where a classic Zeppelin dirge is not only done justice, it is one-upped. Heart still has it alright, good God wow! Love hearing them rocking the mandolin and guitar combo like they did when they originally covered this song, simply amazing shit to say the least!
i love how much joy they still get out of playing after all this time, not many bands that have been going this long still have this much enthusiasm and excitement about playing live, just brilliant
I've seen Heart many times, going back to 1980, but never anything this magical...What an incredible performance! Thank you Annie & Nance! We love you!
Was there that night and can say it was truly magical. Have seen heart play bunches of times over the past 35 years, but this night was really special. Not to mention they freaking nailed it.
The greatest, sister, song writers,musicians,ever!! Loved them since 1976 and their first album, Dreamboat Annie, when I was a junior in college, I was in love with Ann Wilson, my fantasy girl!! Keep rocking ladies, till you can't walk!!
I love all the comments here. ANN and NANCY WILSON are so incredibly talented ,its not funny. These two beautiful ladies have forged a musical path where no other two sisters have done. Not only are they unique, the are AWESOME., What other sister-duo is out there and have done what they've done???
There's a young sister act...Larkin Poe. Descendants of Edgar Allen Poe, so I read. They're awesome! They're a fairly new act, as far as RU-vid. They have the skills to be big! Never know if they will be. Depends on who the music big shots want to be big. Anyway, they're good!👍😎🎸🎶
I've come back to this several times........it's always been great that they are LZ fans...and this is a fantastic version of such a beautiful Zeppelin song. The magic of the Wilson sisters!
I love Heart when they are playing rock music. But not when they play pop. Drives me crazy, hearing a perfectly amazing rock act being wasted that way.
quite frankly stairway is not that great a song I am huge zep fan I would have preferred they did this or immigrant song not that they did not do an amazing job playing it
Ah, so this is your first time seeing the Wilson Sisters. :-) Welcome. Explore more. There's much more, and this is by no means their best performance of Evermore. Enjoy.
I was there in the 3rd row and saw this performance. Am going again to see them on March 30th in Penn's Peak. Have been a fan since 1979 and first saw them in 1980. They just keep getting better and better. True masters of their instruments. I love them for teaching women that you can do whatever you want on stage, as long as your music stands on its own.
Amazing cover, as always the Wilson sisters knocking it out of the park with the skill and sound. But watch the look Ann's giving Nancy towards the end as they time their outro - that's sisterly love, pride in their skill, and, I think, a little bit of amazement at how they're doing this so well still. Love these two!
I may be wrong, but I think the first time they did this song was the opening of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Absolutely blew everybody away. And it was perfect!
this is so good. nancy's mandolin playing was one of the things that first drew me to heart 40 years ago. i remember, she'd play it live, even when a studio version didn't have it. i'm glad i got to see those early years of the band.
danielleNJ I was there that night also and even though it was so hot I thought I would die....it was incredible! I was the one screaming..." I love you Nancy!" At the top of my lungs every time it got a little quiet. Lol!
Why Ann and Nancy's names aren'ts listed on the top of BEST female rock and roll singers - hell - the best ANY gender of rock and roll singers - is a total mystery to me! I was lucky enough to live in Great Falls, Montana, in the mid-to-late 70's. At that time, HEART was just getting started and they played at a local club in Great Falls, called the Red Barn, My boyfriend and I NEVER missed a night when these ladies were performing! They filled the house every single time and rocked the place until closing! Many years later, while going to school in Little Rock, Arkansas, I was privileged to hear HEART sing - again - this time after they had become famous. I was stunned - very pleasantly so - at how AWESOME they still were. THE BEST LIVE BAND I HAVE EVER HEARD! Hell, one of THE best bands I have ever heard!
+Michael Craig They are left off of many lists. Rock critics and the people who vote in polls seem to like guys better than women. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
I've said it before...but...Ann Wilson could sing the alphabet, and I'd be happy! She (that voice!) had quite an impact on me since way back in the 70's.
Unbelievable live performance. I remember watching them do this song for the Singles soundtrack premiere back in 92. They were in their sixties at the time of this performance and there is ZERO difference in quality or passion, all these years later. They look amazing too. True legendary icons of music like no other. I was an 80s kid and was hooked after I heard Alone...been a fan ever since.
I just saw them last night at the Santa Barbara Bowl. Thank you for posting this video so that I could relive some of the moments from last night. So incredible! They play Zep like no other.
Holy shit. I'm not epileptic but I felt I nearly went into a epileptic fit near the last refrain of this amazing tribute. Heart, Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson, with Jason Bonham, all I can say is T H A N K Y O U! I never got to see led zep in concert and you made it as close as it could be in watching this. Thanks Jim Powers for posting this!
The original Zeppelin would need additional backup singers in order to perform this song live. The Wilson sisters can do it anytime with their regular lineup... pretty darn well! It's as if this song was written for them in the first place.
The first group i ever loved in my teens !! dissapeared for a LONG while...glad to see FB has brought them back to the forefront. You go Wilsons !! you were meant to triumph AGAIN !!!! a good old wine never ages--- look at the proof !!!
