- Thank you to my Patrons for another fantastic choice!
I've heard Ann Wilson a couple times before, once singing a Led Zeppelin classic and another about fish. This time, she's singing from the viewpoint of a young girl being seduced by an older man, and you can just FEEL the emotions hanging on every note. It's just so powerful!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Heart performing "Magic Man" for the first time.

@The Charismatic Voice You've got to review Ann's LIVE performance of "Unchained Melody" and "Rock n Roll" They are her best, they are AMAZING! Trust me, I used to sing Heart songs in a rock band.
Give it up to Nancy Wilson as well. She is probably the most underrated guitarist of ALL time. Sexy as hell too. Both of them were.
Can you imagine rocking someone's world so hard that you get THIS song written about you?
Dreamboat Annie always brings me back home to the great 70's...
Ann Wilson; one of the greatest voices in rock.....ever.
People always say Anne Wilson is one of the best female rock singers ever. They are wrong... she is one of the best rock singers ever. Period. And soooo freaking beautiful.
She was bautiful indeed, in 70ties
Wholeheartedly agree. Ann Wilson is amazing
The whole Dreamboat Annie album is a masterpiece. It shifts between rock and folk, and it makes either of the styles non-fatiguing.
Agree.
Absotively! 😎👌
Yes, yes so true.
And she did it live. Her voice. No plug-ins. No enhancements. True talent.
And an inexpensive Shure SM-57 mic. Indeed, she needed no help.
proof
Talent isn’t enough. That’s years of practice
@@caprise-music6722 absolutely. Many many years. I seen her sing this 3 nights ago, and even in her age now, very very good.
@@efricha yeah SM-57 and no IEM's just stage monitors.
Ann Wilson is hands down the best female vocalist of all time, singers today need to learn from her
I don't know about 'all time.' Janis Joplin. Stevie Nicks, Grace Slick, Tina Turner, soooooooo many others to consider as well. Pat Benatar, Bonnie Raitt, LINDA RONSTADT, Aretha Franklin. Ann Wilson was great, no doubt.
You'd be hard pressed to find many voices better than Ann Wilson. She's pure gold.
I have never known the reason why but after she says yeah and closes her eyes, just the way she grabs the mic she has me hypnotized.
Just a friendly reminder that Heart's "Crazy On You" is a friggin' masterpiece, and you should give it a listen.
absolutely!!
Ann Wilson is the greatest vocalist ever! You can't critique the greatest.
Ann was holding back in this live performance... to really appreciate her true power you have to listen to the studio version of Magic Man... amazing!
I agree, this is not the performance by which to evaluate Anne's voice. She is far more powerful that this breathy example. IMO the best female rock vocalist ever.
The album version is nothing short of a revolution in rock music and in powerful female vocals. This live performance is just not full-strength. Still good, but it's kind of like if DaVinci painted the Mona Lisa and it was incredible, and then he made a stencil for it and spray-painted monalisas on walls all over the world that were "still good, but missing something".
As long as a full live show was, she paced herself -- she wouldn't risk not being able to hit the higher notes in songs near the end of the show. Vocal self-preservation.
Agreed…never heard this softer version..
Yeah early in the song her tone was really subdued -- I've never heard her sing that way before.
Guitarists in this band are amazing.
Yes !! This was the best line up by far. The whole band made it extra special, they had a great thing going.
I love the Wilson sisters, don't get me wrong. But I love how the whole band had a great sound and creativity together. Roger & Howard, the drummer, they all made it what it was.
I like their music from the early days way better than some of the more pop kinda songs they put out later. It just wasn't the same.
Be sure to check out the studio recording; Ann’s vocals are even more impressive there. It’s hard to imagine that you never heard this before. Growing up, I had no choice but to hear it played countless times on the radio, first on album orientated rock (AOR) stations, and later on oldies stations.
So right. She holds back live to keep her voice healthy.
100% agree. The studio recording is AMAZING.
This version seems a little too fast, kinda rushed
Yes i prefer the studio version as well.
yes, she seems quite subdued here.
My days as a young teen in the 70's were awesome. No cable TV. No internet. No social media. Just great times. Great music.
The kids these days have no clue!
I would go back in a heartbeat. 😊
And they have no idea how challenging it was to sit by the boom box with your fingers on play/record so you could collect your favorite songs on cassette. Then the quality of inexpensive radios and stereos increased and we were all blown away.
Now way in hell I would go back though, even if I could keep all the knowledge I have now.
yeah, buying a record or listening to a transistor radio beat watching people fall down on Tik Tok anyday...
It's 2 notes. It's a G5 and an F5 for the verses. G5 is played ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba and F5 is played ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba and it repeats. Most people don't know that I play the guitar and my wife sings, and this is the song I pick to surprise people when they are visiting my house. My wife hits Ann Wilson stuff with ease because she's a soprano. She actually has to sing lower to hit Ann's notes. So, what usually happens is somebody comes over and they see one of my guitars and they say, "Oh, you play the guitar?" Then, I'll pick it up and start playing Magic Man. That alone surprises them, which isn't really saying much because it's just G5 / F5, but when my wife hears it, she comes into the room and starts singing and it's just spot on. They are just blown away because it's so good and so unexpected. The first time I ever hung out with my wife, she invited me over her house for her band's practice. She threw a party around Christmas time and I invited some friends over. My neighbor (now wife) had her band there and set up for the party, so they played for everybody and it was like an open mic where anybody could sing. At one point, my wife was singing and my friend's wife was blown away by her. She says to me, "You better marry her... or I will."
At 14:29, you talked about how Ms Wilson is not thinking through all the choices she's making to create the sound of the song, that it is much more emotionally driven, and I would definitely agree. What I think is going on here is that Anne has mastered the craft of singing to such a degree that she uses muscle memory to add the effects she wants without having to "re-invent the wheel," so to speak. She is able to create the "emotional texture" of the piece she's singing without having to cognitively consider all the possible choices, because she can visualize what she wants to emote and she has the tool in her toolbox and immediately available so that she can pull it out without a lot of thought. It's the hallmark of someone who has practiced her craft to highest proficiency.
Seen her sing this 3 nights ago as an opening song, and I can’t get over how well she sounded during that concert. Even today, she is killing it.
I saw them just before the pandemic and they were still as good as they were in the 80s. Maybe better.
Mind you she's 72 years old and STILL kills it.
Lucky!
No way!! I've always wanted to see her live.
SAW
Nancy was so underrated…..and here’s to the Magic men of the world. Glad I got one!
No auto-tune, pitch correction or lip-synching. AWESOME!
Probably my favorite singer ever & I got to see her live. Life was complete.
If you only react to one more Heart song, it absolutely MUST be “Crazy On You” the live 1978 version. It is the whole package!! Ann and Nancy are so beautiful and ridiculously talented. Ann’s vocals are INCREDIBLE and Nancy’s guitar playing is SO COOL. There’s also a great theatrical quality at the climax of the song. The whole stage gets “crazy”. The version I’m copying has some wonderful back stage stuff at the first 3 minutes. I would leave that in but if you don’t, I would still use this version. It’s the best quality. ua-cam.com/video/tC1xr44Ow5U/v-deo.html
Totally first time I saw that version it blew me away. Way better than this song.
I can't second this enough; please please do this!
Crazy on You is their best song. Best lyrics, best singing, best guitar. "I was a willow last night in my dream" is my favorite verse of all time.
To hard to chose one cause I might suggest Kick It Out
@@danb.6294 Your making me hummmmm Kick it Out now. Thanks man....lol
I went to see Heart every time they came to Houston. They did not disappoint.
Ann killed the game with this one. She set standards that won't be reached again. A very good and articulate person too.
I heard Wynonna Judd once say when she was a teenager, she wanted to be a Wilson sister. I think an awful lot of girls would agree. Ann and Nancy.........the legends. Beautiful library of work.
CMT Crossroads..... Wynonna and Heart. That's was SUCH a cool series of concerts.
@@matthewtucker6347 That's the one.
I can't figure out what moves me most: Ann's incredible voice and delivery, or your enthusiasm and passion (and ability to fill the rest of us in on what's actually going on).
Either way, I'm happier now than I was 30 minutes ago. Thank you.
I'm torn between the two after every video ... The unfiltered genuine enthusiasm and knowledge of theory and vocal anatomy / mechanics just warms your heart and feeds your mind. Her excitement is infectious, for sure
You HAVE to do “Barracuda” to really appreciate Ann’s voice. She’s just a phenomenal vocalist!!
Ann Wilson is one of the greatest singers EVER!
I think Roger Fisher is a fantastic guitar player and really doesn't get mentioned that often with being overshadowed by Ann and Nancy's greatness.
Yes he is, this line up was 🔥 As great as the Wilson sisters are, this was the best era of their music. Nothing they did after was as good or creative imho.
I feeI Iike they went more commercial/pop after these early years when they were just fantastic as a band. Everyone was good and they worked great together as a band.
Well, um, he IS the guy she's singing about, at least.
@dlpasco ..nope. his brother Michael is who the song is about,not Roger.
@@thaismatsumoto Yes it's Roger's brother who's the Magic Man. 😅
Ann Wilson, arguably the best female metal singer in history. I just love how she pulls away from the mic at the end of her phrases. 💥Heart was so on top of their game regardless male or female bands, in the 70’s and 80’s.
What a voice she had and still does at the age of nearly 70. Beautiful reaction Elizabeth 💥💥💥💥
Yea I think I can argue that first Ann Wilson was NOT a metal singer she was a Rock singer and while Ann Wilson is good she doesn't come close to Linda Ronstadt.
She is no metal singer..... Rock Legend for sure but not metal.
Rock singer*
I’d limit that to “rock” only.
@@bradmannion6769 Anne was always my girl but a recent view of the Ronstadt documentary, that really gave me a chance to take in everything she did and was capable of…..yeah Linda is the GOAT in the rock/contemporary category.
If her voice doesn't give you goose bumps, you can't be alive. 😳
Speech Language Pathologist here. I just love listening to you talk! So much range just in your speaking voice! Bet your singing is amazing. Gotta say, I love seeing younger people react to “my” old folks music. But I hate that you aren’t hearing the versions we grew up with. Please be sure to check out the recorded versions which include much more exciting vocal elements than can be found in the live versions!
Led Zeppelin were HUGELY influential on Heart, and Ann's vocal interplay with her guitarists comes from the kind of interplay Robert Plant and Jimmy Page were doing live in Led Zeppelin in the 70s. It was common with virtuosic bands that could really jam on stage. Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore did a lot of it, too.
Nobody does Led Zeppelin better than the Wilson sisters,NOBODY!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Not only that, the final solo is very much in the style of Page. Ann/Heart never made a secret of their love for Zep.
That makes sense as they made living initially as a Led Zep cover band. A great way to train your voice!
...real talented musicians and singers doing it all the way it should be done......not 'entertainers' or whatever the hell they call this garbage today
@@fw1421 To this point, check out Heart covering Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center in front of Robert Plant, JPJ, and Jimmy Page. I almost sense RP is skeptical at first but that gives way to raw emotion and deep appreciation of the tribute. I would say that her voice is better than ever. Still gives me goosebumps.
Another great Heart song. Next one after this - Crazy On You.
That song takes me back to a very interesting time in my young life. I had my first serious bf, and of course I thought he was a Magic Man. He ended up breaking up with me 😂 but later said it was the dumbest thing he ever did & he regretted it. He broke my heart at the time so there was no going back. But this song was always on the radio and it just takes me right back to the early 80's. I would go back just for the great music we had, Led Zeppelin, Scorpions, AC⚡️ DC, Foreigner, etc. What a time to be alive, i think that was the best time, musically. ❤
When you have the brilliance of Ann Wilson, Kate Bush and Ronnie James Dio on this lovely channel together with the natural and heartfelt reaction and analysis of Elizabeth, you needn't go elsewhere. Just terrific 👍 👌 👏
You forgot Angelina Jordan... And Unleash The Archers, with Britney slayes Hayes...
But there is a massive hole from the European front and that she does not have or does not have much of any reaction content on WITHIN TEMPTATION, with great natural vocalist, Sharon den Adel !!!! Where they have evolved with many variant styles and ballad as well as high energy Symphonic metal.
There are many other excellent singers each to own music
@@allensaunders449 many that hopefully, Elizabeth will get to, including, Paul Rodgers and David Coverdale
I can see why she has so many subs. This is one of the best channels on UA-cam. Srsly. Thanks so much Elizabeth.
There is a tier of unreal, unbelievable female singers...
Ann Wilson is the point of the pyramid. She is untouchable.
I started listening to this video yesterday, today I am going to finish. Music is a science. you have 11 notes and mathematical time signatures. The beauty is the bottomless pool of expressing it. It's science.
Ann spends a lot of time in her voice in this song, so when she goes into that air raid warning siren-power chest voice of hers, it blows the roof of the building.
Back when singers and band had talent 👌
One of the coolest guitar intros EVER! The guitar tone is incredible.
The guitar riff at the beginning of this song always gives me chills. Always.
Ann Wilson is one of the best Rock Vocalists of all time. Often imitated yet never equaled. She helped to pave the way for other female lead vocalists over the years like Lzzy Hale, Dorothy, Taylor Momsen, and Amy Lee to name a few. A true pioneer in Rock music.
Ann and Pat Benatar are my two favorite female rock vocalists of all time. They're both so incredible, and both so beautiful. You should react to Pat Benatar Promises in the Dark. So amazing. I love your reactions. Thank you for reacting to so many songs from my youth. Brings me right back there. Back to Ann and company and the rest of the song.
And Hell is for Children
Yes ! Pat Benetar is a goddess.
100% agree.
Pat is everything
Oh, Pat Benatar would be a very good choice for her to analyze. She was classically trained. I wonder if she’s ever done any videos of her
One of the best women singers of all time.
The amusing part of Elizabeth's Heart reviews is that she has been essentially progressing backwards in time from Heart's later performances to the bands earliest works. Would like to see a bit of a discussion of the whole Dreamboat Annie album. Few albums are so well put together from beginning to end. Just a fantastic piece of work.
Ann Wilson is the finest female rock vocalist in history. She has the whole package with incredible range, control, and dynamics. And she makes it look effortless, you can tell she's just phoning that performance in while making it look and sound amazing. Still great even today.
In addition to being 1 of THE best vocalists of the last 5 decades, she's also a master at mic handling. Back then, most louder rock bands used Shure SM57's to help tame bleed and feedback, she "plays" that mic. She plays with angle and distance, and understands perfectly where that low/mid "proximity effect" bump is that's inherent to those beasts. 57/58's are still used more than any other mics out there. Cool thing is that the first ones I ever bought back in 79 were $100 each, and the last ones I bought 2 months ago were $100 each! You don't get the cool molded plastic cases with them anymore, but can't beat they haven't gone up in over 40 years.
Anne Wilson is one of if not the best rock singer of all time. Seen Heart 3 times and she never flew off key.... perfect every time.... love her.... Nancy can sing too....
Not often you get to hear Nancy sing, Anne is such a force, but you might not know, the sisters put out a duet, the title track of their album, "Dog and Butterfly", for something that show cases Heart's more quiet side. "Dreamboat Annie" is another favorite from back in the day...
@HaleysTusk,- you could say for sure, but isn't Nancy's beautiful counterpoint with Ann's lead on D&B the blessing of shared genes in the vocal cords? :)
NADA ONE on dog and butterfly album is Nancy on lead ..another one is Love Mistake from Passion Works
Two of my favorite songs of the Wilson sisters! That album was my high school age anthem!
These Dreams Nancy sings and its a perfect song for her. I love it. But i love their music in general.
Such a great live performing band! Ann's voice is killer!!
Absolutely perfect R&R song. Composition, production, pocket professional musicians and so much talent. Never gets old
I've been an Ann Wilson fan since the '70's and I have yet to hear her go off key on a single note to this day. Impeccable all around. Love HEART music forever.
Ann Wilson is one of the all time greatest vocalists in Rock,she s right up with Linda Ronstadt who has done almost every genre of music.
Omg i love Blue Bayou which is a Roy Orbison song. But Linda Ronstadt made it famous. It's such a great song. And I'm a metal head 😂
I know we're here for the vocals but can we take a moment to talk about the guitar? Well just the entire band! They are am amazing unit.
Yes! I have always felt like the lead guitarist is extremely under rated.
And yet Ann and Nancy fired them all, and they used the bogus excuse that they were not even average musicians. That is when Heart died to me. Seeing how many times Ann and Nancy have had their own feuds, it made sense they would use such crap.
@@toddstevens13 have you heard Heart by Heart yet it’s two of the founding members Steve Fossen (bass)and Michael Derosier (drum) they are a really good band.
I have always liked Michael Derosier's drumming in this band. It's sad that most people forget all about him when discussing great drummers heard on 1970's era radio.
@@BayouMaccabee He is a great drummer. I think he was a Bonham head listening to his snare and BD sound
The Little Queen album is timeless.
Ah, yes! It marked the beginning of my simultaneous crushes on both Wilson sisters.
Oh yes, and DreamBoat Annie. ❤
Oh Yah , been in Love with the Wilson Sisters since I was a Teenager !!!saw them live many times. So good
I think Ann Wilson is one of the great female vocalists of our era... Love this channel!!
This is one of my favourite, Heart songs. Ann Wilson for me is one of the greatest ever rock vocalists
And Nancy Wilson's in "These Dreams" is so crazy good. Ann Wilson backing vocals.
Don't forget Pat Benatar. She may have hit the radio a year or two after Heart but you can't count her out. She's another one who is just as good now as she ever was because of fabulous technique.
@@alisalavine1052 I completely agree. Pat Benatar certainly deserves to be featured on this channel. It's a case of putting her name forward and waiting to see what happens. Lots of magnificent singers have so far been passed over, including Bonnie Tyler, David Coverdale, Paul Rodgers and Danny Bowes. I'm sure you can think of more
If you can find the live version of "Mistral Wind"( an older version)absolutely amazing.
I have yet to find a good live version of Mistral Wind that has both good audio and video. If anyone can point Elizabeth (and me) in the right direction that would be outstanding. In the mean time, I can always recommend E react to the album version from Dog And Butterfly. It is one of their finest recordings, hands down.
@@youbertuua-cam.com/video/XrhQ_4cKbFA/v-deo.html - not the best version but worth the "mistraaaal" at the end.
I have fond memories of seeing them many times. One of the last was at the PNE in Vancover BC. Original band...absolutely gobsmacked at one of the best live performances I've ever seen/heard!
Mistral Wind is a classic......crazy vocals!
Agreed. Especially if you can find it from the Dog and Butterfly tour. Breathtaking.
@YouberTu
Personally I think the absolute best version of Mistral Wind is from the 2003 DVD Alive In Seattle. Vocally, musically, and production-wise, it's killer. That version is what really made me a fan of the song more than I ever was before.
Seriously. I’m telling anyone unfamiliar with Heart’s live cover of Led Zeppelin’s song “The Battle of Evermore” from their Alive in Seattle set to go and watch it. I’m a lifetime fan of both groups and the performance is an incredible display of singing and harmony by both Anne AND Nancy while Anne plays acoustic guitar and Nancy plays the mandolin. I really want at least one of my favorite reactors to check it out, but it’s worth being dissected and analyzed so I feel this is the ideal channel. I promise it’s worth the time. Cheers!
Thank You … for recognizing how Ann Wilson is so naturally amazing … and I think she’s gorgeous
I would definitely recommend These Dreams to take a look at Nancy Wilson's vocals. She normally doesn't really sing, but she sure is great when she does.
The live version from the 2002 concert in Seattle is an excellent performance.
Nada One is perfect sweetness, too. A Nancy favorite.
I've never been to the live premiere before! I feel so fancy. I should have worn a tux.
I was fortunate enough to see Heart perform a dozen times in the ‘70’s when they were touring in support of their first two albums Dreamboat Annie and Little Queen. It was a great time.
You are by far the best vocal analyst on UA-cam. Your analysis is so easy to follow and your vocal knowledge is awesome
Ann STILL has her voice today.....and she is in her 70s! Incredible artist.
I've heard this song for decades, but this is the first time I've seen this particular live performance. Some people go to a concert wanting to hear the songs exactly as they know them from the album. (Not me.) Ann changes up her vocals to keep things from getting stagnant. Other times she uses her stronger voice on some of the parts that were a bit lighter and more "innocent" in this performance. Some of the spoken lines from this performance are sung during others performances. The studio recording that we grew up listening to on the radio is distinct as well. For me, live performances should be personalized for the audience, the performer's specific mood or frame of mind at the moment and to keep the song fresh both for the audience and so the performer doesn't get bored with the duplication and repetition. Going to a live show SHOULD be unique, otherwise I could just play the album at home if I wanted to hear the song done the same way every time. (To see another, softer side of Heart, check out "Dog and Butterfly" if you get an opportunity.)
I agree
Agree 1000%
A truly perfect rock and roll song. Start to finish, it has it all. Ann and Nancy are both next-level talented and the band are just plain polished professionals with clean live production. Just like their studio stuff. I was looking forward to seeing your take and appreciation of it. You clearly dug it as much as I do. One of the best bands ever. Noice!!
Ann Wilson, the queen of rock and roll sounds very excited while she's singing this song right now. Awesome!
If you ever analyze Crazy on You - Please check out "Heart - Crazy On You (Live on TV - 1976)" - IMO it's the BEST Version of Nancy's Acoustic Intro.
Totally agree! That is definitely the absolute best!
Wait, I thought you were talking about the 1978 live performance. The 1976 version is good but the 1978 IMO is much more refined and the definitive recording. Check it out if you haven’t. Let me know what you think. 😊 ua-cam.com/video/tC1xr44Ow5U/v-deo.html
That's the song!
ua-cam.com/video/o5PKULglde8/v-deo.html
Perfect female rock voice, also a very alluring mystical and beautiful woman.
One just could not/ should not pass by Nancy's background vocals!
One of the all time 70s rock riffs. Guitars are just nuts, and the vocals are bursting at the seams (more so on the studio version).
One of the guitarists, the one that switches to synth, is Howard Leese. Great musician, in every measure. He's also played for Bad Company. I've conversed with him on the internet, and know a few people that are his in-person friends, and he seems to be a really great guy.
Yes, Howard and Roger Fisher were a great combo. This line-up of Heart was the best imho. The drummer, everyone just was great and they were so creative together 😊
Fun trivia point: the Telecaster (actually a Fender Esquire modified to add the neck pickup) used here was bought from the guitarist in Steppenwolf, and was used on hits like “Born To Be Wild”, Magic Carpet Ride”, and more.
Also, I think you’d really like their song “Straight On”. As great as this song is (and also all the songs from the Dreamboat Annie album), it might be her strongest vocal performance.
Yeah, that was a very good song as well
OMG! It really is isn’t it? I can completely hear that it’s the same guitar. Love this.
I love me some Steppenwolf or as my one bf called them, Steppencoyote 🤣 lol.
I love the way you analyze live performances. For me, that's the true measure of a band/singer.
This is easily my favorite version of this song. They really put the stank into this performance. Thank you for covering it
She’s definitely one of my favorite singers of any genre. I was pretty young when this stuff came out so I never appreciated how good she really was until later. I saw a special where Heart had a bunch of famous artists join them doing Heart songs and to me it just showcased how much better she is than all that joined them.
Would love to see you react to "Straight On"...maybe a version of the song from 10-15 yrs ago. Long after it was first released, but would like your comments on Ann's vocals today, after singing for decades. What I like the most about "Straight On" is the harminizing between the sisters. I have always said that my fav part of a Heart show is during this song, when Nancy REALLY comes in and harmonizes with Ann...Their voices are magical, live. I have been a fan ever since I can remember. I have never been as taken with an artist or group as I was a few decades ago when I attended my first Heart show. Watching Ann sing live is pure magic. I'm commenting before you release the video, but When I saw this pop up, I got so excited. I love when people are introduced to artists that mean so much to me. I raised my daughter on their music, and we have been to several shows together. I was never so proud of her as when, after a show in Pitts, PA, she put on FB "Ann and Nancy Wilson are pure musical goddesses"....a friend replied "Who?" She then flooded his page with so many videos of Heart. Her friend had head their songs, and was probably saying that as a joke, but she was determened that he be schooled in all things Heart. Another song that is amazing live is "Mistrail Wind" and being a HUGE Heart fan I recommend the version from the Night At Sky Church version. While there is a version that is AMAZING with them backed by a symphony, but, I think some of the focus is taken away from Nancy's incredable acoustic guitar playing. I could talk about the Wilson sisters for days, but really, I just wanted to thank you for putting them on your react list. When I first watch you react to Ann singing "Stairway to Heaven"...it made me cry. You finding a love for something I, and so many, love, is beautiful, and I am so enjoying your videos because you are exposing me to music I would not have heard, otherwise. Music is pure magic...When you find artist who play or sing from their soul, there is nothing like it.
You’d love Rain when I die by Alice In Chains
I agree…great song
Hey Charismatic Voice, The 70's were the best. Glad i grew up right in the middle of it and graduated High school in 1979. Lots of great music and concerts! Plus 2 channel high end stereo equipment to rock to at home parties!! Sorry you missed it all live. Glad you check these great musicians out now on youtube!!
Thank goodness for Australia's national broadcaster, the ABC and it's RAGE program. Has to be one of the best curated collections of classic music videos, even live gems like this one. Wonderful! Fantastic analysis too, of course, as always. Thank-you!
The last portion of Magic Man is much more powerful in the studio recording. Ann completely kills it and its a thing of glory.
The thing she shares with Floor, that raises them so far up above many singers is their pure ability to storytell. Superb voices with the ability to shift back and forwards in tone and timbre to enhance the story.
Catchy. This song has a beat unlike any other Heart song. So well constructed.
Ann is one of the greatest rock vocalists of our time. Thanks for your analysis!
The entire album Dreamboat Annie is a wonderful masterpiece. Probably my all time favorite album, ever, which is odd because Heart doesn't even make it into my top 25 favorite artists or bands.
Ann Wilson the perfect singing voice.
Ann has the sweetest clearest voice and this song shows that.
This is much more mellow than usual for this song.
Ya not sure why Ann is holding back so much on this version
Dog and Butterfly 🦋.. What an emotional song... 😥
Vocals great, obviously, but the whole band was very talented. The lead-guitar work is incredible, and Ann's sister, Nancy, is right there. To me, that's a true sign of a great singer, when they can improvise so smoothly and the way they sing the verses is never exactly the same twice in a row.
I'm fairly certain that when she sings, "... he's a magic man, mamma!" I thing she means it as being completely smitten for this man, not really in a "snarky" type way.
In the VH1 Behind the Music on Heart, she goes on to explain that she was away from home for the first time, trying to get this band going and met this blue eyed man, described in this song and how this was her first true love, etc.
It's amazing how effortless Anne's voice is. Always a pleasure listening to Heart. The Wilson sisters absolutley rock 🤘🏼
The heart song "Crazy On You" was probably written over that same relationship subject matter... Another must listen.. While these live performances of heart are interesting, It is good to know how dynamic the production is on the production is on the album versions... It really shines strong and addictive way
I would love to see your reaction to "Mistral Wind," a song that really shows off Anne's ability to shift gears. A wonderful, underrated song of theirs.
My absolute favourite song is Mistral wind! The vocals there is amazing!
You should really check out the whole album «Dog & Butterfly»!
The interaction between Anns vocal work and Nancys amazing guitar there is otherwordly and the whole album is such a good compilation of songs. Never tire of it💕
Yesss that and wait for an answer, absolutely exhausting song to try to sing but only Ann’s voice could handle it the way she does.
Or maybe Dream of The Archer, which goes great in a playlist with Led Zep's Battle of Evermore :D
I have seen heart 5 times through the years she as well as the band got better every time I seen them .
Ann is one of the best ever.There are a few on my list but I can't choose who is no.1.But she is on the top level.Still packs a heavy punch. Some have angel voices but she is a freight train there is just so much power in reserv.And when she taps in on that power it's just heaven.If I ever met her I would piss her off so that she would scream the hell out of me.And me so happy.
Speaking of magic Elizabeth, in honor of the recent passing of Olivia Newton-John, you should do a react to her song "Magic"
Elizabeth Zharoff-McCune covers Olivia Newton-John? Ok,why not?
How about, Xanadu? With the ELO tie in? Just a thought 🤔😀
Add in some ONJ's older stuff like the Totally Hot album, then onto Physical and the Xanadu soundtrack!!
@@JengiX Xanadu? Elizabeth and Kirk on Roller Skates? Yesss Sir...agreed 😁 👈🤘
My favorite song by Olivia. Was not a fan in the day...liked harder rock etc., but when I heard Magic, I just took notice and thought okay, I need to broaden my palate.
JONI MITCHELL!
Seriously, if you like large spot-on pitch changes, Joni Mitchell! Try just about any track on "Blue" for a start.
As for Ann Wilson, "Mistrial Wind" is a must listen!
