"Heart without Nancy was a good cover band with a dynamite singer. With Nancy, it was like one plus one equaled ten." - Mike Flicker, producer of Heart's first 5 albums.
Listening. They did I'm down? I kind of hated that song. I got a little education about it and easyed up on it some. It was dumb about the music the Beatles and others were intrigued with.
I love this compilation, however, it often bothers me when people comment on Nancy, whether or not she is a good guitarist, or disparage her in comparison to Howard or Roger, in terms of "electric guitar", and forget or ignore that other types exist of guitar and Nancy IS primarily an "ACOUSTIC GUITARIST". That's her main instrument (or should I say "her main man" as she calls it). She didn't play an electric until she joined Heart, when she had already been playing acoustic for over 15 years, and of course, I think she's good. But for me, her acoustic stuff on it is superior to any of these solos and that's where I really see and feel her greatness. And that is where the distance between her and Howard or Roger (with whom they insist on comparing her) is marked. No matter how great or superior they both are on electric, neither of them comes close to Nancy on acoustic. Because it's not just about playing the notes, but about feeling and communicating with your instrument. And Nancy definitely has a very special thing with her acoustic guitar. That's where she lives. But of course, she can also have fun with the electric one.
I have one of Nancy's vintage SG's signed one of my first guitars since back in seventh grade when I started to learn to play taken guitar lessons along with my Aria acoustic which I love the finger action on either one but I guarantee you if you go and knock on Nancy's vintage acoustic guitar she will pop her head out the hole in it with a smile and say welcome to my heart and home because that is where she lives. Like your post man cheers.🍻
I always loved Nancy's solo in Kiss. I saw the Lovemongers at the House of Blues in L.A. in '97, and Nancy was playing SO much electric guitar with some very cool solos. It was great to see!
Met Ann and Nancy Wilson in 1987. I was just a worker at a marina in W. Vancouver. Making $6.75 an hr and just trying to get by. Beautiful and gracious ladies, Nancy is a lady, and so is Anne. They need each other and compliment one another. One could not do it with the other. When watching the led zeppelin video, Anne relies on Nancy for cue and tempo. Nancy relies on Anne's voice to achieve. It is all good.
My favorites of these are "Even It Up," the synchronized lead to "Nothing At All," and "Papa was a Rolling Stone." She often has only four bar leads, or synchronized ones, but can really rip it when she wants to. Her legacy as a soloist cannot be properly assessed without taking into account the masterful intro to "Crazy On You"; which counts as a solo too. Always has been foxy.
WOW.... I agree whole "heartedly " with your comment. Does Nancy do the intro to "Barracuda" as well ? Cuz that's always been very cool as well. The only thing I can add is the Ann should get her ass off the stage especially when outro solo's are taking place.
Every solo is strong, melodic, and oozing with feeling. The song didn't need shred or over the top ripping. She's also a great writer of many iconic songs and intros.
Tbh Josh homme is a rhythm guitarist at heart, doesn’t stop him busting out a hell of a solo though. I’d say the best guitarists are rhythm guitarists because it’s really fucking hard to transition quickly in the way to pull it off well. Eg, if I’m learning a pixies song the bit that’s stumping me the most is usually Francis’ part rather than Joey’s. Suffice to say Nancy is and always was the real deal.
As much as I love Ann and her incredible voice, plus here abilities to play multiple instruments and write, Nancy has never recieved the accolades as being one to the top five female rock guitarists of all time.
Nancy Wilson plays acoustic guitar as well as nay classical and flamenco guitarist. It is a skill she carries into electric guitar. Not many solely electric guitars players could do acoutstic as well because it does go the other way.
nancy wilson is my favourite guitarist ever along with steve clark imagine nancy wilson and steve clark playing together when he was alive id have loved that
I saw them at Astroworld in Houston Texas in 1982, the year I graduated high school. Man I grew up with the best music ever made!! From Motown to classic rock. The real talented musicians ❤️
Well, although you said that you grew up with the best music ever, I think what you _meant_ to say was that you grew up with the 2nd and 3rd best genres. You must've had one of those temporary memory glitches that caused you to forget that 80s metal is the best music of all time. 😉
@@HighlanderNorth1 I said from Motown to classic rock. That does not exclude metal. And let me remind you that this is my opinion to which I’m entitled to just as your comment is your opinion.
@@deborahcooper9085 I was just joking. Unfortunately they don't have an emoji that adequately conveys sarcasm, so I used their "sh*t-eating-smirk-w/blinked eye" emoji. Apparently that doesn't get the point across well enough though.
Thanks for making this montage. I wish Nancy played lead more often. There's something about the feeling she puts into it that I don't think any man could duplicate. Didn't she play the solo in "One Word?"
The first time I saw the rock band Heart was in 1980 at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. I'm very familiar with their songs but to see them was something entirely different because they were FANTASTIC ! Nancy Wilson is 1 hell of a great guitarist and in the early days she didn't get the recognition that she deserved which I think was a damn shame. The band Heart in my opinion can go up against the best of the best ! ROCK ON NANCY AND ANN WILSON and the band HEART ! 💞🎸💯😉❤️✌🏼😎😉🎼🎵🤗🎶🔥
I used to like their music until I seen an interview with the Wilson sisters who said that they didn't like the music at the beginning of their career because it wasn't written by them. Even though these included their biggest hits. I understand record companies didn't treat a lot of musicians right, but I also understand that a lot of musicians would still be unheard of if it wasn't for the record companies backing them early in their careers.
That was about their mid-80s music, not their early music, which was entirely written by them. And they liked some of the music they did from the 80s. Nancy for instance has always said that she begged to record These Dreams because she loved it so much. They also wrote some of the music from that era, like "The Wolf" and "Nobody Home" that are in this video 🙂
80s was tough for many bands. It was a cash out time for the music companies who generally treated known talent in a take-it or leave-it manner because the gravy train was so intense. So you see a lot of "hit makers" in credits of the time. But as others have said, never seen anything about them not caring for their early stuff.
You're obviously not a HEART Monger or fan. Ann joined Rog and the gang early and wrote lyrics for lots of the early HEART career. I'm sure she wrote the melody to the songs too. Show us the "interview" where they supposedly said that!
@@charlesclark3840 The core band was formed in Seattle but moved to Vancouver and gained fame there first. But they soon moved back to Seattle after the debut album.
Don't agree ! She plays very good solos. Nancy, maybe, now You could do a Signature of the Melody Maker model, the kind of guitar You an I appreciate.... With a solid, one-piece bridge, and all the necessary for good sustain and accentuated harmonics.

Absolutely
Were not worthy
Hard to argue with that..
Nancy deserves much more credit than she has ever gotten. I tell this to anyone who will listen. 😁
Listening. They did I'm down? I kind of hated that song. I got a little education about it and easyed up on it some. It was dumb about the music the Beatles and others were intrigued with.
@anthonydavella8350
I wasn't saying Nancy was better than Roger or Howard. I'm just saying Nancy is a lot better than most ppl realize. That's all.
@anthonydavella8350
I agree with you, though, that Roger & Howard were superior guitar players to Nancy. It's a fact.
She’s fine. Don’t you worry.
Totally agree!

Nancy has to be one of the most underrated guitar players out there. Those riffs are true masterpieces
I always loved Nancy's solo in Kiss. I saw the Lovemongers at the House of Blues in L.A. in '97, and Nancy was playing SO much electric guitar with some very cool solos. It was great to see!
I wish the full video of this performance existed somewhere ua-cam.com/video/svxi8IOF5-I/v-deo.html
Very cool to see these old clips!

It's March 16th 2024 happy birthday Nancy! Rock on with your bad self!!!❤❤❤🥳🎂🎹🎸🎶🌍✌️💯❤️🙏❤️🎶🌍✌️💯👍🌹
To this day, Nancy STILL gets mixed too quietly at shows I have been to. Turn her up!!!
Nancy has always been pretty fantastic in my book. Glad to see such an awesome tribute to her greatness.
Treat Me Well is an incredibly beautiful song, glad you included it. My favorite song
Probably the most underrated guitarist.
I love Heart! Nancy is very underrated guitar player! Without her ther will be no Heart at all!
And Ann
@@rustybear5125 were focussing purley on Nancy here, and NOT Anne, the clue is Nancy Wilson, not Anne, guitar solos
You are fully right❤❤
@@rustybear5125love both❤

Someone just commented on one of my Nancy Wilson videos that she's a great "rhythm guitarist".
Pardon me while i borrow this video for a moment 😉

What? You are saying she is NOT a great rhythm guitarist..
Such a badass guitar player, acoustic or Electric she is fire on that guitar
Just amazing.❤❤❤❤
So often she gets lost in the mix. Buried by (the admittedly amazing) Howard Leese.
Roger Fisher was good too. He and Nancy had a great vibe together along with Howard Leese.
As much as I love Ann and her incredible voice, plus here abilities to play multiple instruments and write, Nancy has never recieved the accolades as being one to the top five female rock guitarists of all time.
when nancy picks up her blue strato fender the world is in for a treat
Wow!!
Nancy God's Angel! Amazing talent...
We give Nancy fulll credit it takes both to fill the Heart...

They have a picture together with Brian May backstage from the 80s, if you want to look it up 😃
@Don-Jack I'll look that up thanks
@Don-Jack just seen it there's one of def leppard nancy wilson and brian may how cools that
Like all wicked guitarist! Were not worthy. Were not worthy. Were not worthy.
Great video compilation. It takes a true Heart fan to pick up on this. Kudos!!

I literally didnt want this to end!
Me too❤❤
Amazing Nancy Wilson.
Definitely not a 80's, big hair, has been. Women ROCK!!
I guess this proves to the whole world that Nancy isn't just a beautiful acoustical player, but can rock with a electric.
Nancy Wilson is the best thing ever happened to rock music...period.
Classy and played the guitar with taking off her shirt
Excelente guitarrista women
I love nancy forever
Stairway best cover ever
It would be nice to find a video of Nancy Wilson guitar solos somewhere.
The Wilson sisters, the undisputed Queens of Rock n roll!👍👍
Nancy Wilson is a Guitarist/Musician.. . End of story.. 🤔🔥
Nancy Wilson is a monster guitarist. She is also a great song writer.
No quarter was immense at the RAH I wish they would come back to the UK
Huh???
🎸
Wow from Austria
💥👍💥
saw them twice in the 80s in San Diego.....they put on a great show
Heart rocks

dunno if she's introduced to the Rock hall of fame , but she deserves
Does anybody know which concert it was where Nancy is wearing the orange top(the photo on the left)?
I know it's from 1978 and the picture was taken by Michael Putland, but couldn't find more info.
everything went wrong in the 80's

I Saw Them in Concert Once, Summerfest in Milwaukee Wisconsin, in 1991

So you liked the music and then all of a sudden you didn’t because of what you saw in an interview? The music doesn’t change either way.
You're obviously not a HEART Monger or fan. Ann joined Rog and the gang early and wrote lyrics for lots of the early HEART career. I'm sure she wrote the melody to the songs too. Show us the "interview" where they supposedly said that!
i live nancy but first set sounds like a duet 😅
Will let Josh and TVL know they aren’t solo-ing for 5 minutes in I appear missing then lmao.
Anne and Nancy Wilson, with The Band Named Heart, from Seattle
and.......what else (??)
Ann and Nancy were from Seattle; Heart was from Vancouver, BC, Canada.
@@charlesclark3840 The core band was formed in Seattle but moved to Vancouver and gained fame there first. But they soon moved back to Seattle after the debut album.
The wilson Sisters are trying females equivalent to Bon jovi
Should habe named this video, Duets not solos
These are very average solos truthfully
I only made the video to show some instances where she does play lead, but it's not her specialty 🙂
Don't agree !
She plays very good solos.
Nancy, maybe, now You could do a Signature of the Melody Maker model, the kind of guitar You an I appreciate....
With a solid, one-piece bridge, and all the necessary for good sustain and accentuated harmonics.
@@hartholz7015 Do you know about her Nighthawk signature model? Seems very interesting
@@Don-Jack It's not "Nighthawk" but "Fanatic" by Epiphone. A very precious guitar.
Yes, the Epiphone is called Fanatic. But the Gibson version was really called Nancy Wilson Nighthawk I think (but was a very limited release)
