My husband was a professional musician and met them at a gig. In a world of egos and arrogance, he said they were absolutely lovely. They asked a lot of questions about his music and were extremely interested. Really decent professionals, and so talented!
I went to a house party in 1979 and hung out with Mike Derosier for a few hours. He was the sweetest person. Fast forward 38 years... I went to a Heart by Heart gig and talked with Mike again after the show... he is still a sweet soul. ❤
Nancy is the sister playing the guitar. She plays so good and was an inspiration to many young female guitar players in the 70's & 80's, me being one of them. I was and still am a huge Heart fanatic. Magic Man is another really good song to check out.
@timmoser3526 because in that era it was rare to see a female guitarist in a rock band. Some young girls at the time found inspiration in it, that women could be super talented rock stars as well. Simple answer really.
@@iesickboy I know when, I also know that somehow gender race religion somehow changes the narrative! I say it’s demeaning to use any of these to describe a person! The are amazing musicians, period! And they happen to be female!
The Midnight Special was a weekly TV show that featured actual live music. It's how most of us 60s & 70s kids got our music education! It was hosted by Wolfman Jack, a true pioneer in Rock radio!
Gen X was listening to Wolfman Jack before we went to school...I love YT, they have everything! WOLFMAN JACK PLAYLIST ua-cam.com/video/sbpDqtb3T_8/v-deo.html
And Led Zeppelin was a group they really admired ,thats why they stepped up to honor them at the Kennedy Center with that fabulous tribute singing Stairway To Heaven....these sisters are great!
And she kept it. It one thing to have it another to actually keep it. Even stevie as much as I love her I have to say her voice changed (I've seen the interviews with her talking about the coke) most of them lose it with age because they don't stay at it. They don't continue it . Look at vince neil of motley crue.
Ann's voice was and is GOLDEN. Powerful, smooth, clear...perfection. Nancy was a powerhouse musician in her own right. What a duo. Thank for the reaction BP!
Dog and Butterfly kills me. Though I know the song is not about a dog and a butterfly, I had a white female basset hound that loved everything and everybody. Sweetest dog I probably have ever had and always happy. She would follow butterflies and wag her tail. She passed on about a year ago and it broke me for several months. Now when ever I hear that song I tear up. I have never had that happen before and I have had many dogs and cats in my day. This one just etched herself in my heart deeper then the others.
I'm a 55 year old black Bahamian woman. I was totally into Heart with their 80s hits: "Never" and "What About Love". But I was introduced to them at around age 5 by my older sister in the 70s. Love their 70s song, "Magic Man" (the long version). Love them in the Bahamas still. Pray for Ann who has recently been diagnosed with cancer.
Heart done a tribute to Led Zeppelin with their song “stairway to heaven” They got a standing ovation from all of the led zeppelin band members still alive. Absolutely epic
Ann and Nancy's Stairway dedication to Led Zepp is epic, have to listen to that one. Kennedy Arts honor. Both of them have great voices and Nancy backs up Ann very well🙂One of the best voices out there!
@@brucefrank5556 Thanks I didn't check, just went with the title of this video which says first time reaction to Heart so....I don't normally watch his reactions.
The midnight special was awesome. Imagine being 12 or 13 yrs old and staying up to watch it after mom and dad went to bed. If only we had today's TV technology back then
Magic man has to be next. I was lucky enough to see them live in Toronto in the early 90s and they kicked ass in every way. Ann's vocals are insane. Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
Heart was and still is a force in rock. Nancy, (blond), is not only very underrated as a guitarist but was never given due credit for her vocals. Ann could outshine anyone, but Nancy is no slouch. For a whole different vibe and see how talent lives on, check out Heart live in Olympia. (I wanna say 2016). Nancy leads on "These Dreams". Ann's back-up is perfect.
She sang Led Zeppelin tunes effortlessly. Not many people can sing Robert Plant, but damn she can. Watch them at the Kennedy Center Honors doing Stairway to Heaven.
Ann (dark hair) and Nancy (blonde hair) both sing songs, write music and play different instruments. Ann is the primary singer and plays flute & guitar. Nancy sings lead on several songs, but mostly secondary vocals, guitars, mandolin, piano and autoharp.
Caught them in concert in May 2024, sadly they had to cancel the rest of their tour after Ann Wilson was diagnosed with cancer... she's been real update and hopes to continue their farewell tour in 2025. They were both still great in concert.
Whaaaaaat!!! WHAT!!! My junior high school girlfriend once called me over her house because her mom was working. Alone in the house! I was 13-14 years old and was so nervous for many a reason. But I knew this was it. My first French kiss. Not going to lie, at that age the thought of touching tongues really freaked me out. I went over there so nervous. She answered the door in a blazer and nothing else. Needless to say. I got my first French kiss that day and we listened to Hearts greatest hits. What a memory
Such an iconic song. Ann wrote the lyrics, Nancy wrote the sweet acoustic guitar parts and Roger wrote that great electric guitar riff. Roger co-founded Heart, in 1967, with bassist Steve Fossen. Ann auditioned for them in 1970 and they immediately hired her. Nancy joined Heart in 1974.
My sister and I have seen Heart live 4 times. Ann and Nancy are legendary. We were supposed to see them in November 2024. They postponed due to medical issues with Ann.
Had tickets for their Boise show. They had to cancel due to Ann Wilson being recently diagnosed with cancer and doing chemotherapy now. Prayers out to her for a swift recovery. Such a great voice. Their Led Zeppelin tribute of stairway to heaven at the Kennedy Center is amazing.
Yes, please watch Heart's tribute to Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center Honors if you haven't already done so. They performed Stairway to Heaven and it was unbelievably good. Led Zeppelin members in the balcony were visibly moved.
Yes!!!!! 🥰 Saw them open for Journey. I was in the second row when she did it right in front of me... will never forget the laugh she had after she did it. Pure joy watching the crowd go bananas!
Saw Heart live in ‘77 on the beach in Ft. Walton Beach, Fl.(my childhood hometown). It was A-mazzzz-ing!!! It was my very first concert at age 8 with my aunt Bobcat(Lisa)…she was a major life long hippie, Crazy Wild and 8 months pregnant at the time. Needless to say it was an absolute blast!😆🤣🤣
You need to react to the Heart's tribute performance of Stairway To Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors with the members of Led Zepplin with tears in their eyes. Ann and Nancy Wilson blew the roof off the place! Thanks!
@Mike-jl1rl Yeah, that's a tough one. I know the definition of rock is broad but Ann was more of a rocker than Linda. Linda's the greatest because she could sing ANYTHING!
Ann Wilson had the perfect female Rock voice. She moved effortlessly between her head and chest. No one sounds quite right when they try to do that "CRAZY". The way she slides down and belts at the same time... I love her so much. I wanted to be her.
Back then, we expected the artists to sound very similar to their studio versions when in concert. Since most were great musicians and artists to start with working with raw instruments and voice in the studio, many pulled it off.
I love the way you keep going on about in ears. In ears are still about 20 yrs away at this point. Until the early to mid 90s you had to rely on floor monitors
@@BlackPegasusRaps oh and PS if you want to react to unique name and fun song I submit to you Dr Hook and the Medicine show. The song would be Cover of the Rolling Stone. Enjoy your week and look forward to more great reactions
I had a DVD going in the background years ago, with Heart playing "Battle of Evermore". I was talking to a friend on the phone and he thought I was listening to Zeppelin. He almost thought I was lying when I told him it was Heart.
Would love to hear you do Dog and Butterfly. Another rabbit hole would be to pick an episode of Midnight Special to showcase. It would be a long reaction but worth it. I just watched the one where Richard Pryor hosted. That's a good one. It had Olivia Newton John and Boz Scaggs just to name two artists
Love Heart and got to see them as the opening band to April Wine in 1975 and they were awesome! Anne has just been diagnosed with cancer and has had to stop touring. Wish her the best of luck with her treatment and hope for a full recovery. Love your reactions, thanks for sharing.
Oh yeah, it went down on The Midnight Special every Friday night back in the day. I grew up in the cornfields of Illinois, and this show was my window on the world. So many stellar performances. Thanks for sharing it.
It was 1973 or so me and friends were at an outdoor concert . it rained about 11pm and most people left before Heart the last to play came on. My row spot was in front of Ann and it was “Schwing,” “party on. Before Heart ELO lit the sky with lasers not far above our heads coming from all over. It was trippy. Love the channel too.
OH YEAH!!! HEART!! I love Ann and Nancy Wilson and Heart!! This song is one of my all time favorites! I grew up listening to these tunes on the radio and I knew all of their songs by ❤!! Thanks BP!!
It still surprises me when you react to such an iconic band, such as Heart, and reveal that this is all new for you. Which is amazing that you're honest and give us a legit reaction. With being a teen in the 80s. I hopped on the hairband train and luved every minute of it BUT I still luved music in general so I went back before my time and followed the train forward into the grunge phase in the 90's I am still and will always be a hair band freak lol but am still proud to be so versed in all types of music. Thanks for following this "crazy" curve into all types of music, I absolutely luv your reactions and have mad respect for ya! Keep them coming! 🤙
Thank you so much for bringing back one of my favorites. I have not heard this song in years and I had actually forgot about it. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I just saw them on the first night of their tour with Cheap Trick back in April!! It was phenomenal!! They sounded Ah-Maz-Ing!!! Ann is still a powerhouse!! Sending prayers and positive vibes to her for a speedy recovery so she’ll be able to get back to their tour the first of next year!! Keep going down the Heart rabbit hole BP!!!
Heart is an exceptional rock band, every member outstanding, & of course the writing & vocals of the Wilson sisters simply amazing. You can't miss with any song from their immense catalog.
I was decades late to see them, despite many attempts, but finally saw them in 2004 at a HoB show. What an amazing performance. This is my favorite Heart song, glad to see you react to it!
Gotta listen to the studio version sometime. Ann Wilson has an amazing rock vocals! You should hear her do "Stairway to Heaven" too! Nancy Wilson is the Guitarist.
I have the complete Midnight Special DVD collection. There is some wild stuff on there. I think Rod Stewart does a performance and he appears looped up on something. .. classic 70's over indulgence.
I loved The Midnight Special. Hosted by Wolf an Jack, who was a world reknown DJ at the time. That show had the best of the best back in the70s. And most of the talent were mostly unknowns, just starting out in their careers. Every Friday night my friends and I were hunkered down in front of the TV to watch. Then Saturday Night Live started on Saturday's. Those were my HS years. We had the best music back then.
So many great songs by them in the 70s and 80s. Nancy's guitar work is so underrated, I still can't get over that, and living in the Seattle area I've talked to quite a few people who had them just like drop in on their performances. Lower level bands just doing the club circuit and that kind of thing, and they said they were always kind and professional and just really generous with their time. And the fact that they stood up in a wild west of male performers and held their own and got everybody's respect is a big deal. Like you said, they were an inspiration for a lot of females; that you didn't just have to be the object of songs or the object of fantasies. That you could also get out there and be the artist yourself, and make your voice heard when you're talking about things that are different than what the guys would talk about in that situation. The industry really did Ann dirty in the 80s. She had gained some weight after ending her relationship that was the inspiration for quite a few of the songs from the 70s, and they kept filming only her face like she was some kind of ogre they couldn't show... and then they really kind of did Nancy dirty too by making her play a caricature in those 80s music videos. She had to basically act like the guys did, dry humping around while playing. It was really dumb, because obviously when she plays without anybody telling her to do that stuff, she plays like a focused and professional person and not like somebody who's trying to f*** their guitar, and it's just really frustrating how they sexualized them in such a really gross way in the 80s. This song, if you pay attention to the lyrics, is an anti-war song, and it's really profound actually. Where there are those moments where the world is going insane and everything is awful and you don't understand why people can't just get their s*** together, and all you really have left to do when you're wondering if a bomb will drop tomorrow is go crazy on each other if you have somebody to do that with, and try not to think about it and just celebrate the fact that at this particular moment, you actually are alive. Intense stuff.
They sound exactly the same live as they do on their albums. I saw them in 1980 at Rosenblatt Stadium. It's cool I can look it up online and hear a recording of the entire concert, memories 😊
I love your channel! Your reactions give me hope that the music of my teen years will live forever even though most of the rockers are either close to their 80’s or have passed on. God bless.❤️
Heart is a band I've seen live, 5 times over the years. They are fantastic, live. Ann's voice is incredible and Nancy if a very very good guitarist. They may not have always had the same musicians with them, but always top notch. I love seeing the original line-up like in this Midnight Special. They all were so good. They always do one or two Led Zepplin songs at their concerts. They were huge fans and can do Zeppelin better than most!
2 amazing artist! Had the biggest crush on both back in the day! 😂😂 Oh man I been listening to the Eagles since the late 70s, still cant name them all lol! Great reaction ! Star safe everybody!
Heart, Joan Jett, Pat Benetar, Dixie Chicks, Jopin, LaBelle, and Motown of Supremes, and many women who broke barriers It wasn't easy for them. Cher, Stevie Nicks, and Linda Ronstadt too. Rock had the hardest like Heart.
Heart was a favorite of mine since they hit the radio. Here's a little something that will blow your mind. Their dad was the Commandant of the Marine Corps and a member of the joint chiefs of staff early in my USMC career and I am pretty sure her was still there at the time of this recording. I remember seeing Nancy playing this song and the back of her guitar was a giant USMC round metallic seal. If you ever see her later in life I am sure she still keeps one on the back of her acoustic guitar. They have earned it - Semper Fi Nancy and Ann!
These sisters... SO MUCH TALENT! When I was a kid in the late 80s, this is what I wanted to grow up to be. I remember seeing up a stage in the living room and pretending to play the guitar and lipsyncing to Heart.
My husband was a professional musician and met them at a gig. In a world of egos and arrogance, he said they were absolutely lovely. They asked a lot of questions about his music and were extremely interested. Really decent professionals, and so talented!
That's so good to know😊
It's so sweet to hear this story. It shows that these two ladies never forgot their roots. Thanks, peace 💚
I love hearing things like this!
I went to a house party in 1979 and hung out with Mike Derosier for a few hours. He was the sweetest person. Fast forward 38 years... I went to a Heart by Heart gig and talked with Mike again after the show... he is still a sweet soul. ❤
Under-rated and relegated to a woman rocker category versus just plain ole rockers!!!
Nancy is the sister playing the guitar. She plays so good and was an inspiration to many young female guitar players in the 70's & 80's, me being one of them. I was and still am a huge Heart fanatic. Magic Man is another really good song to check out.
YA but this waz them 70s
Inspired a lot of young men who would later become guitarist for the big 4 grunge bands.
Why do you have to put female in the conversation? They were one of the greatest rock bands period!

I lived for Midnight Special as a kid. 💯
Yes, Clap for The Wolfman The Guess Who
And Led Zeppelin was a group they really admired ,thats why they stepped up to honor them at the Kennedy Center with that fabulous tribute singing Stairway To Heaven....these sisters are great!
Now that was a live performance well worth watching!
They brought Robert plant to tears. It was beautiful ❤️
Jon's son on the drums, the surprise at the end (in case BP sees this) it is amazing.
That Kennedy Center performance was awesome. I would have to say it was such a perfect cover of Stair Way to Heaven.
Yes, please react to this!
Ann has one of the greatest voices in rock. Nancy is an underrated guitarist and singer.
You REALLY need to watch their tribute to Led Zepplin.
100%
And Karen Carpenter #1 in Pop!!
And she kept it. It one thing to have it another to actually keep it. Even stevie as much as I love her I have to say her voice changed (I've seen the interviews with her talking about the coke) most of them lose it with age because they don't stay at it. They don't continue it . Look at vince neil of motley crue.
I totally agree the tribute to Led Zeppelin was out of this world. If I could buy that performance I would.
Yeah, their "Stairway to Heaven" is FIRE.
Ann's voice was and is GOLDEN. Powerful, smooth, clear...perfection. Nancy was a powerhouse musician in her own right. What a duo. Thank for the reaction BP!
Nancy sang the first #1 LOL
yes, still is.
This chick can shred and has a rep as a crazy guitarist. The look in Ann's eyes says it all.
To me Heart's hidden gem is "Dog and Butterfly".
Oooh, yeah!! Play this for your little girl! 🍹💃🖖👵🐺🌵💖💋
Love dog and butterfly
Totally agree , only one of their songs I can sing at karaoke..
and the song Dreamboat Annie
Dog & Butterfly is a great listen to actually hear both sisters voices & how their harmonies are exquisite
The entire album rocks
Dog and Butterfly kills me. Though I know the song is not about a dog and a butterfly, I had a white female basset hound that loved everything and everybody. Sweetest dog I probably have ever had and always happy. She would follow butterflies and wag her tail. She passed on about a year ago and it broke me for several months. Now when ever I hear that song I tear up. I have never had that happen before and I have had many dogs and cats in my day. This one just etched herself in my heart deeper then the others.
yes
I'm a 55 year old black Bahamian woman. I was totally into Heart with their 80s hits: "Never" and "What About Love". But I was introduced to them at around age 5 by my older sister in the 70s. Love their 70s song, "Magic Man" (the long version). Love them in the Bahamas still. Pray for Ann who has recently been diagnosed with cancer.
Love Heart and love this song! As others have said “Magic Man” is a must listen if you are liking Heart!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Heart done a tribute to Led Zeppelin with their song “stairway to heaven”
They got a standing ovation from all of the led zeppelin band members still alive. Absolutely epic
She reduced Robert Plant to tears!

He already reacted to that performance.

20 minutes after I first heard this on the radio; I was at the record store buying this album.
...and the entire album still plays well today, some 48 years after it's release. Listen to it at least once a week.
Heart “Magic Man”
The midnight special was awesome. Imagine being 12 or 13 yrs old and staying up to watch it after mom and dad went to bed. If only we had today's TV technology back then
Ann Wilson my favorite female singer of all time. Saw them in 2009, still could hit those high notes, amazing!!!
She still can hit the highs 😀
Mines Karen Carpenter!!
Magic man has to be next. I was lucky enough to see them live in Toronto in the early 90s and they kicked ass in every way. Ann's vocals are insane. Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏

Heart is so much fun! 🤘😆 40!
For me, she's the greatest female rock vocalist of all time.
I totally agree!
Depends on the day for me whether it's Ann or Linda! Can't go wrong with either one!!
@Mike-jl1rl Yeah, that's a tough one. I know the definition of rock is broad but Ann was more of a rocker than Linda. Linda's the greatest because she could sing ANYTHING!
Heart used to play at our high school dances back in the early 70s. They were great then. Iconic now.
Hands down, the best female rock singer to ever do it.
Ann Wilson had the perfect female Rock voice. She moved effortlessly between her head and chest. No one sounds quite right when they try to do that "CRAZY". The way she slides down and belts at the same time... I love her so much. I wanted to be her.

I seen them in concert in 1990. They were fantastic.
please do Heart magic man Straight on too
I second this one! Such a great song
Yes!!!. there's a live performance just like this video from either '76 or '78... ann goes hard with the vocals, it really showcases he voice
And "Barracuda" (if he hasn't already done it}
Heartless never gets much love. Worth a listen. Their cover of Battle of Evermore is stunning.
I had a DVD going in the background years ago, with Heart playing "Battle of Evermore". I was talking to a friend on the phone and he thought I was listening to Zeppelin. He almost thought I was lying when I told him it was Heart.
I am 65 years old. Midnight Special came on Friday nights at of course Midnight. Some of the greatest ever, all live. I never missed it.
Heart's first single to reach #1 actually featured NANCY Wison on lead vocal. Try the song "These Dreams".
Would love to hear you do Dog and Butterfly. Another rabbit hole would be to pick an episode of Midnight Special to showcase. It would be a long reaction but worth it. I just watched the one where Richard Pryor hosted. That's a good one. It had Olivia Newton John and Boz Scaggs just to name two artists
Anne and Nancy Wilson. Nancy is a crazy good guitar player!!!!
Pure voice. No autotune. God I miss those years.
My late husband loved them back in the day. Either of them were his "free pass"! This whole album was outstanding. Great reaction choice.
The Wilson sisters. Great voices and great music from such a talented band. I had seen then 3 times and so glad I did
Love Heart and got to see them as the opening band to April Wine in 1975 and they were awesome! Anne has just been diagnosed with cancer and has had to stop touring. Wish her the best of luck with her treatment and hope for a full recovery. Love your reactions, thanks for sharing.
I had the pleasure to attend a Heart concert in Savannah, GA in 1977 or 78. Great concert.
I saw Heart in concert a couple years ago and omg her voice is still amazing.
One of the greatest female rock voices. An absolute powerhouse.

Congrats, you just witnessed one of the greatest singers of all time! Ann Wilson is a legend.
I can listen to this song over and over. Great reaction.
I saw her live for the FIRST TIME last year. She is in her early 70's. She still has about 90% of her range. Not as good as this, but better than most
This is freaking awesome! I don't think I've ever seen this live this performance I mean. Thank you so much for sharing
Yes and the studio version is amazing too the production values is top notch.

Heart is an exceptional rock band, every member outstanding, & of course the writing & vocals of the Wilson sisters simply amazing. You can't miss with any song from their immense catalog.
the expression on you face is all the reaction we need for this song!!
Great reaction love this song and these 2 ladies they rock❤
I was decades late to see them, despite many attempts, but finally saw them in 2004 at a HoB show. What an amazing performance. This is my favorite Heart song, glad to see you react to it!
Gotta listen to the studio version sometime. Ann Wilson has an amazing rock vocals! You should hear her do "Stairway to Heaven" too! Nancy Wilson is the Guitarist.
Saw them in concert many times. Mesmerized every time
I have the complete Midnight Special DVD collection. There is some wild stuff on there. I think Rod Stewart does a performance and he appears looped up on something. .. classic 70's over indulgence.
Saw them twice in concert, they are amazing live!!
One thing I know you will never be let down from the Wilson sisters/ Heart!!! My 1st concert.
I loved The Midnight Special. Hosted by Wolf an Jack, who was a world reknown DJ at the time. That show had the best of the best back in the70s. And most of the talent were mostly unknowns, just starting out in their careers. Every Friday night my friends and I were hunkered down in front of the TV to watch. Then Saturday Night Live started on Saturday's. Those were my HS years. We had the best music back then.
So many great songs by them in the 70s and 80s. Nancy's guitar work is so underrated, I still can't get over that, and living in the Seattle area I've talked to quite a few people who had them just like drop in on their performances. Lower level bands just doing the club circuit and that kind of thing, and they said they were always kind and professional and just really generous with their time. And the fact that they stood up in a wild west of male performers and held their own and got everybody's respect is a big deal. Like you said, they were an inspiration for a lot of females; that you didn't just have to be the object of songs or the object of fantasies. That you could also get out there and be the artist yourself, and make your voice heard when you're talking about things that are different than what the guys would talk about in that situation.
The industry really did Ann dirty in the 80s. She had gained some weight after ending her relationship that was the inspiration for quite a few of the songs from the 70s, and they kept filming only her face like she was some kind of ogre they couldn't show... and then they really kind of did Nancy dirty too by making her play a caricature in those 80s music videos. She had to basically act like the guys did, dry humping around while playing. It was really dumb, because obviously when she plays without anybody telling her to do that stuff, she plays like a focused and professional person and not like somebody who's trying to f*** their guitar, and it's just really frustrating how they sexualized them in such a really gross way in the 80s.
This song, if you pay attention to the lyrics, is an anti-war song, and it's really profound actually. Where there are those moments where the world is going insane and everything is awful and you don't understand why people can't just get their s*** together, and all you really have left to do when you're wondering if a bomb will drop tomorrow is go crazy on each other if you have somebody to do that with, and try not to think about it and just celebrate the fact that at this particular moment, you actually are alive. Intense stuff.
Ann Wilson one of the best voices in music not just rock all, so amazing.
I was 16 when this came out, and I was TOTALLY
In love with Ann Wilson!
Along with every other
Teenage boy at the time!
She’s Beautiful 🤓🥰❤️
They sound exactly the same live as they do on their albums. I saw them in 1980 at Rosenblatt Stadium. It's cool I can look it up online and hear a recording of the entire concert, memories 😊
I love your channel! Your reactions give me hope that the music of my teen years will live forever even though most of the rockers are either close to their 80’s or have passed on. God bless.❤️
Best female rock singer, you're missing out until you hear magic man
Heart is a band I've seen live, 5 times over the years. They are fantastic, live. Ann's voice is incredible and Nancy if a very very good guitarist. They may not have always had the same musicians with them, but always top notch. I love seeing the original line-up like in this Midnight Special. They all were so good. They always do one or two Led Zepplin songs at their concerts. They were huge fans and can do Zeppelin better than most!
I love Heart, I saw them in the 80s, and they were always my favorite girl band.
2 amazing artist! Had the biggest crush on both back in the day! 😂😂 Oh man I been listening to the Eagles since the late 70s, still cant name them all lol! Great reaction ! Star safe everybody!
Fell in love with Heart when I was so little. My mom and aunt love Heart so growing up I was always hearing their music. Love them. Amazing sisters.
I've spent hours listening to this album over the years. I've never watched a video of them live. Thanks for a different view of them
Heart, Joan Jett, Pat Benetar, Dixie Chicks, Jopin, LaBelle, and Motown of Supremes, and many women who broke barriers It wasn't easy for them. Cher, Stevie Nicks, and Linda Ronstadt too. Rock had the hardest like Heart.
Heart was a favorite of mine since they hit the radio. Here's a little something that will blow your mind. Their dad was the Commandant of the Marine Corps and a member of the joint chiefs of staff early in my USMC career and I am pretty sure her was still there at the time of this recording. I remember seeing Nancy playing this song and the back of her guitar was a giant USMC round metallic seal. If you ever see her later in life I am sure she still keeps one on the back of her acoustic guitar. They have earned it - Semper Fi Nancy and Ann!
Yay! I've been hearing Heart most of my life, as a Canadian of a certain age
The Midnight special with Wolfman Jack was what to watch. Great your reacting to Heart ❤️ they are sisters.
These sisters... SO MUCH TALENT! When I was a kid in the late 80s, this is what I wanted to grow up to be. I remember seeing up a stage in the living room and pretending to play the guitar and lipsyncing to Heart.
They were absolutely fantastic in concert. Ann's voice is amazing. Some of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Wow - got chills listening to this again. Yes, Heart was an inspiration to all us little girls (middle school) in 1976. The proved women can rock!
Yes please. Play their live stuff, they NEVER let you down. Great reacting young baruth.
