Like these other folks have said. Heart and Ann Wilson’s voice doing Stairway to Heaven in front of Plant, Page and JPJ with Bonzo’s son on the drums is top notch. Kennedy Cente Awards!!
100% agree with the comments. Robert Plant sheds a tear because it is such a beautiful rendition of their song. The sisters also have a great version of Led Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore".
“Magic Man” and “Straight On” are early Heart bangers you have to experience. That said, the Kennedy Center Honors performance of “Stairway To Heaven” when Led Zeppelin was inducted is everything and more.
An album full of bangers with one side live. They cover Zeppelin live. You fellahs owe it to yourselves to watch their Kennedy Center Honors cover of Stairway to Heaven.
The bass and drums for this song were lifted from Led Zeppelin's song "Achilles' Last Stand" which appeared on their album Presence, released March 31st, 1976. Many guitar notes and the sound of the guitar were lifted from Achilles as well. Js
Nobody kills Barracuda like the writers and Ann is the writer....so Heart kills it!! I agree with the other's comments on this, Straight On, Magic Man and Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Led Zeppelin where Heart sings Stairway is A MUST!!! Thanks Airplay Beats!!
Glad you're delving into Heart...Superior Ann and Nancy Wilson never fail! Request you do Mistral Wind...not very well played back in the day but is a beautiful song showcasing Ann's vocal range and Nancy's guitar playing!❤❤
You are right about lead singer Anne- although she belts it out on stage she is very reserved in interviews where her sister Nancy does most of the talking- but they were fierce- they wrote this song in one day after a creepy reporter asked if they were lesbian lovers knowing full well that they are biological sisters- so they turned the anger into a killer song calling him a barracuda and made millions off the song
The reporter asked the question because it was a story being floated by one of their record label executives, the song is about the smooth taking marketing exec and not the reporter. They changed record labels because of this crap that guy did.
I remember when Heart's Barracuda came out. It was my favorite song for a few months probably. Nancy Wilson definitely underrated. Ann definitely has some of the best female pipes in rock. Legit band. Once again, in a time of amazing music popping out every week in their era. Nothing like today.
So, I’m 67 and I remember rockin’ and dancing our little asses off at the Zodiac Club in New Westminster BC to Heart…so fun, they did some great covers of Led Zeppelin songs and then they made it big, playing large venues everywhere.😍
Got to see and hear them do this live back in August of 1977 at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, NJ. It was the day Elvis died and they dedicated the last song if the encore, Zeppelin's "Rock n Roll" to the King.
The song is succinctly explained @Rick Forbes ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lGWSc8LPtVo.html&lc=UgxdQE-V5fAXH-J4Pyl4AaABAg.9q_dvBLikUP9q_sI3JwOa3 The battle with their record company over their contract came later. Best Wishes. ☮
Well it was about a label tool who basically told a sleazy journalist that Ann and Nancy were lesbian lovers. They are sisters. The journalist is the barracuda, lying low in the weeds, hoping to ambush it's prey. "If the real thing don't do the trick, you better make up something quick"
@@kimberlyhalloran5724 it was about a label rep who floated the rumour Ann and Nancy were lesbian lovers. They are sisters. "When the real thing don't do the trick, you better make up something quick"
The Fabulous Wilson sisters and their crew! Anne arguably the best female voice in rock for many many years. Killer group since the mid 70’s, Nancy is no slouch on guitar. You’ll find that Ann’s vocal range touches many textures as you get acquainted with their body of work.
Ann Wilson is one of the greatest singers ever and she's still performing at 73 I believe. Their in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and surely deserved it. ALONE and NEVER are very very good also plus more. This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
These sisters can do it all. ❤️🎶❤️Anne is very polished in her technic vocally. This song- well singing in 6/8 time is a challenge right from rip.Anne also has air for days….that’s a vocalist,not a singer in a band. Pat Benetar is also classically trained and has techniques/ air and power. I covered them in the 80’s…still sing now- not easy to do….not at all. Love your reactions.
You should hear the sisters harmonize. It almost sounds like she overdubs the backups, but she doesn’t. Do “Dog and Butterfly” a great ballad where both si sisters vocals shine. And Nancy’s guitar playing too.
Several members of Heart recorded under the name The Lovermongers. They covered a LOT of Led Zeppelin songs. Both Wilson sisters said they loved Led Zeppelin growing up.
You had some great songs today! Ann Wilson is a goddess, the greatest female hard rock singer ever. I also love the drum sound on this track. The kick drum technique is dope too. Ann and Nancy had an act called The LoveMongers. All I know is they covered Battle of Evermore by Zeppelin, and it’s exquisite.
You know what!? You guys are so awesome and your appreciation for music is sooo good! I enjoy listening and reliving songs of the past gone by. BTW these guys did the Kennedy Center honors for ZEP. Stairway to Heaven. Peace
Ann Wilson has the best female Rock voice and better than a plethora of male Rock voices. I've listened to her from the Seventies until now and she can still sing great
Good morning gentlemen. Awesome job for both you guys do the story behind the song is that it was made for at their time record company producer/executive was giving them a crappy deal and eating up the bands money and so they nickname him barracuda and then they made the song.
Gentlemen I have some cool stuff for you. The band is called THE BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND THE SONGS ARE EAST WEST, BORN IN CHICAGO,MYSTERY TRAIN.. THE OTHER ARTIST IS RORY GAHLLEGER SONGS SHIN KICKER, BAD PENNY .ALOHA N ENJOY
Never heard Ann Wilson's voice described as 'sweet', or Ann described as 'the girl next door' LOL. Love hearing different reactions to songs I've heard a million times...awesome.
I was in 7th grade when this came out. I'd wait for it to come on the radio and crank it up every time. This was also at a time that I'd record my favorite songs off the radio onto a cassette. You'd always have a little DJ talk at the beginning and the end 😞
Great Tunes From Heart. Gotta Say, Out Of All The People I Subscribe To. You Guy's Seem The Kind Of Guy's Everyone Would Like To Sit Down With And Have A Beer And Some Conversation With. Keep Up The Good Work Fellas.
This entire Masterpiece album "Little Queen" is a Must Listen. "Dreamboat Annie" is also a Masterpiece album, take a listen to "Sing Child", love Love, LOVE, Ann Wilson, and The Band.
Lol have never heard Ann’s voice described as small!!! Yes she does have a sweetness to her voice but boy can she belt it out!!! Not sure have u checked out their Stairway to Heaven tribute celebrating Zep!? It DEF a MUST SEE!❤❤❤
Hi guys... still binging your videos. You're one of the best reaction channels I've seen. Keep doing what you're doing and PLEASE do more Heart! Start from the beginning and do the first several albums. The album "Even it Up" is also underrated!
This song crystallizes for me the difference between the radio station my parents listened to, and the radio station you only heard in the kids' bedrooms. 😂 I remember stopping and looking at the radio the first time I heard this. It was *different*. It also kills me that you didn't talk about anything other than Ann Wilson's voice. 😂😂 I don't remember you ever ignoring a riff or rhythm section until today. Props to Ann & Nancy!
Yeah, this one was one of their Big Hits back then. Heart were one of the bands at my first concert; Cal Jam 2 in Mar. 1978. LOL...I was just 15 yrs9mos, my brother disappeared about noon to go get something to drink, and I was there for more than 26 hrs. I hitched a ride home to San Berdoo after 1am, or so, when Aerosmith finished.
Achilles Last Heartbeat. Dig that bridge and that break down back into the chorus and the rumbling fade out ala "The Immigrant Song". Anne Wilson sings in the upper registers that slice right through the lower registers of the spectrum filled with guitars, bass, and drums. When you're ready for more from them check out "Magic Man", "Dreamboat Annie", "Straight On", "Heartless", "Dog & Butterfly", and "Bebe Le Strange" too.
Absolutely a fantastic Heart classic! The song was written about their producer at Vancouver's Mushroom Records when he let slip the false rumour that Ann and Nancy were also lovers, despite being sisters. They were so angry that they quit the Mushroom label and wrote this song about how awful the man was. Though the band was from Seattle, they called my Vancouver, Canada home for their early years and I saw them play many times - open concerts in the city parks, roller rinks, and even once for a high school dance. Hearing them live, and Ann's voice from 10 feet away, was an incredible experience. Heart's early style was a unique blend of Rock, R&B, and Gypsy/Roma Folk with a strong dose of Led Zeppelin. The softness in her voice that you're hearing is the Gypsy Folk coming through. I saw them play so many times that they began to recognise me in the crowd and often gave a smile of acknowledgement at my support. The last time I saw them was at an open air concert in the old football stadium. They were the last of several bands that August day and the sun had just gone down. There was a cool breeze coming off the Pacific and the lights on the mountains behind the stage served as a gorgeous backdrop. I was standing about the fourth row (no seats) in a crowd of over 30,000. Nancy saw me first and flashed me a smile, letting Ann know I was there. After her nod and smile, the band played and charmed us all for an hour. A few old favourites mixed with songs from their new album, Dog And Butterfly. It was, honestly, a magical night. I highly recommend checking out their early tracks. By the time the original band broke up, Ann and Nancy held the Heart name and delivered a strong number of 80s hits, but those never hold up for me as much as their first handful of albums.
Can’t believe you guys have never heard this. One of the most famous songs in rock. Get deep into heart. They are awesome. Do Mistral Wind but the live version from the greatest hits album only. World better than the studio.
