- Rehearsal for May 2010 Synergia Orchestra benefit concert in Tacoma WA, Howard Leese, Roger Fisher, Steve Fossen and Michael Derosier - the orginal four members who became Heart with asskicking young Somar Macek. I'm not really into reunions but this was fresh and exciting. Shot by Mark Nichols on a Canon 5d dslr.

-you can definitely hear and feel the difference.. between the REAL "HEART"... and later lineups !!!
Love seeing Roger Fisher, Howard Leese, and Michael Derosier playing together.
And Fossen
@@PortofinoArts The guys all look good too. Time's been good to them. I won't say what I think of the ladies. That woudn't be nice and I'm an older lady myself. Who am I to talk?
When those guys left, Heart became a tame.. Michael DesRosiers on drums…phenomenal!!
The guys sounded good after all those years,hearts line up on the first 4 albums was the greatest!
The guys in Heart deserve more credit. I love the Wilson sisters, and there's no question that they were trailblazing women in rock. Ann is probably the all-time greatest female vocalist in rock, and Nancy was one of the few female guitarists in the '70s. But...these guys were great musicians who gave the band that muscular Zeppelin-esque sound. Subsequent line-ups haven't captured that sound. Even the '80s Heart sounded much better than the current line-up because Howard was still around.
Yes, Ann is easily the best female Rock n Roll wailer. On ballads, though, she has a lot of competition. Linda Ronstadt. Stevie Nicks.
Funny how Ann always talks about how hard it was being a woman. Then she spends 30 years not giving credit to the men. Just like men are accused of doing. She's a confused and bitter person.
@@Frip36 In their R&R HOF induction ceremony, Ann and Nancy both made long remarks/thanks, including the "how very hard it was for a woman to break into Rock n Roll" thing, while Roger and Howard made very brief thank-you's and Steve and Mike actually passed on the opportunity and didn't step up to the mike. That seemed to say something more than what was actually said (or not said, by the guys).
@@basilmarasco1975 Wel said. And being two good lookin front-women is the best maketing tool they had. It was a godsend. Her victim narrative is absurd. I've seen a ton of her interviews through the decades. Ann has issues. That's all I'll say.
@@Frip36Just saw an interview where Ann was talking about writing barracuda. Yeah she wrote the words but Mike and Roger came up with the riff at a soundcheck and Roger expanded on it later. Ann conveniently left that part out. Without the music , Barracuda could have easily been a sappy ass song . The words aren't all that damn good. She's been trying to erase those guys ever since 1980.
This woman sounds like a young Ann amazing!
what? no she doesn't. don't ever say something that stupid again
No energy
Her name is Somar Macek, She did a great job.
And she's overweight like old Ann. 😂
You think she's singing this live?! WoW
Love hearing the original guys jam the tunes they made. Now THIS is what the song sounds like.
They had a killer groove that was as important as that freaking incredible voice! Good Lord no one could sing like that Girl. Each player was clearly a perfectionist when it came to the tone of their instrument. It’s unreal how consistently this old lineup sounds every time I hear these old jams. Such a professional delivery every time. Badass
I started playing guitar because of Roger Fisher. He was the epitome of cool on stage. So much stage presence. When the original band played together there was a synergy that was magic.
Man, these guys haven't lost a thing. Love Fisher's energy.
That sounds so powerful, it's the real deal..these were the guys on the ground floor that wrote the music, Ann & Nancy have used "replacement" players over the years to keep the music going, but nobody can play it the way they do...Thanks for posting this awesome video...!!
The rock hall of fame only induct the original members, no ine of the reemplacementa
Roger and Howard, MADE Heart sound like they did. Both brilliant players and writers. Heart wouldn't have had the success they did without them.
no exactly. Both, all, Nancy, ann, ROger and Howard made heart sound like they did. Roger and Howard was he part of hard rock, and Nancy and Ann was the part of folk and celtic.
Ann Wilson refused to sign without Nancy and her band. It's a fantastic band, but Ann was offered the contract, not them. They owe HER.
*Ann & Nancy are fantastic; but, Heart without these guys is like The Who without Pete, or the Stones without Keith. C'mon. Just listen to "These Dreams" and you'll get your answer. Cheers!* 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Derosier is the sxxt. . . Possibly most underrated drummer for that era. . . People think Barracuda is like a simple song to play but the drum track on this thing is awesome. . . You hear the versions Heart Does without him and it never sounds quite right. Like it is dragging all the time. In the original band Derosier is doing these off time/half time beats in the midst of the guitar riffs that absolutely make it, and then he is just so crisp and ahead on the upbeat accents . . .
That was awesome. I just keep having to come back and catch this every so often. Much of the original sound, right here. If I was Derosier, I think I'd have to grow the hair back out. He had the ultimate natural perm curly hair look going back in the day. Was always jealous my hair wold never look like that . Love these guys big time. My favorite band/group, with the best range of sounds/songs.
Roger Fisher is one of rock and roll's most creative guitarists. Heart was never the same after he was gone.
God I love watching Roger play.....
Oh my gosh! Unreal to see them now. Yes, they were and always will be the best!
Loved it, all of yall, wish you were still all still playing together....awesome ❤👍✌️
Fisher..Fossen...Leese..Derosier...Wilson....IS Heart.
One of the best drummers in rock music
Never stopped loving Roger Fisher. ❤
The guys still have that “it” factor! They sound great! Too bad Ann and Nancy have never reunited with them.
I remember seeing them in ‘76. They were so good...still are! Thanks for posting!
Roger Fisher played a perfect solo. Props man.
Smash it!
The best version of the band by far.
Roger can rock.
i saw heart in '78. the best concert i ever witnessed. roger was a wizard.
It hasn't been Heart since the boys left.
Roger Fisher crushed it on those earlier records.
That was kick.ass I would pay to see these guys before I would the new heart.
I could watch that drum fill at :51 a thousand times. Mike Derosier was the perfect combination of smooth and thunder.
Awesome! I miss these guys being in Heart. Love the Wilson sisters and they were in the X factor that certainly put them over the top, but it's only fair to recognize these guys as being very instrumental in there even being a Heart. In fact, 3 of these guys were in Heart before Ann and Nancy even joined. I always thought Fisher was a great guitarist and Derosier is a badass drummer with a Bonham style. It would be awesome to see them reform for a reunion if ever possible.
Very cool to see these guys together!
Very much underated drummer!! He deserves much more credit from other drummer's and as for ann and nancy, smoking talent,endless!!
Vincent Roberto great groove !!!!! An american version of bonzo
Watched it again, michae d's groove is awesome not talked about enough. Like one of my thumb's ☝ comment's said his groove is as strong as jonh henry Bonham .and as for ann and nancy, great player's and well crafted song writer's
Still one of my favorite songs for drums. Michael DeRosier is really freaking good.
Mr. Derosier certainly influenced my drumming...very underrated drummer for some unknown reason because he is a monster.
I agree with you. I'm a drummer too. I was just watching some Heart videos and realized that this guy was playing some very sophisticated rock grooves way back in the day.
This was the drummer that should've been in Bonham's chair for any/all Zeppelin reunions.
Derosier is a really powerfull guy! ;)
Derosier bonham
I was always a Bonham guy growing up, but the lead singer I played with for years was from San Francisco and he and his older brother were major Heart fans, and they used to always tell me that I played like Michael DeRosier more than Bonham. Apparently, a lot of the drum fills/tom licks and the way I phrased things were more like DeRosier. At the time (mid 80's) I was just being introduced to his playing, but he was definitely one of those guys who became an influence on me, more than Bonham in some ways.
Great.....I'm not sure these guys get enough respect......they were so integral......
trotterx2 Check out the latest Heart By Heart videos on my page. AWESOME!!!!!
Totally true, these guys were a big part of the sound, the old Heart was the best, that awesome blend between rock and mystical folk, yeah! Heart had a huge impact on my guitar playing during my college years. I would have died to be Howard Leese in that band.. :-)
You're not sure??? These guys DEFINITELY don't get the respect they deserve. The WIlson sisters made sure of that.
Fuck no they don’t! They prob got a titanic load of vagina in the 80s though so big ups to them!🤟👌
Roger Fisher has been sorely missed in Heart for so long. Howard Leese did a fine job covering his parts before they went Diane Warren-fueled power pop. Mike Derosier was also an insanely talented drummer, locking in with Steve Fossen' s bass playing. This was the real magic in this band. Wilson sisters, as much as I dug them in the '70s, were lucky to have this band.
As a 66 year old guitarist - I am totally into reunions - Great job !!!
That drummer is badass, my favorite drumming line in any song ever. Nice to hear it fresh again, thanks
Speaking of underrated Drummers from the 70s, Denny Carmassi of MONTROSE, Gamma, Heart, and countless studio sessions is one of the tastiest, in-the-pocket Drummers of all time! :)
You really think so? I'm a 51 year old drummer so I have listened and practiced this song note for note for 40+ years. I thought this guy was lazy with the kick... no 16ths... and the fills were lazy as well. He mailed it in. I'm not a gigging drummer but I know I can do better.
@@jamesbarrick3403 "This guy" is MIchael DeRosier, the drummer and one of the writers of this song.
It's about time! Jeez, it's been a long dry spell. How do you guys expect us to survive this drought? Keep 'em coming!
Outstanding performance!
THATTTTTTT is how to play the drums to this song!!!!!!!! They NEVER got it right since mike left!!!
This guy has heard his Guitar solo on the radio thousands of times, imagine a life like that, your Music is a active part of the World and Culture.
Best driving shuffle drum beat ever.
When Ann hits her high notes, there is never any doubt. She’s never flat, always on top of the note. Unbelievable chops!
You realise that's not Ann singing?
Of course. Just paying homage to Ann.
@@tonyvincent9753 A worthy lady to pay homage to indeed.
love watching and listening to these guys,what a life how awesome it must be to perform at this level,and the singer really kicked ass
Still loving you guys!!!
Ah, Achilles Last Stand gets a mention! Barracuda can trace some of it's DNA to that song. Barracuda's galloping main riff has always has a striking similarity to ALS.
DeRosier rocks and has always had monster chops. He got too painted as a Bonham clone, which kept him from greater fame.
For me, listening to Heart cover Zeppelin in the old days it worked for me because Fisher and the rhythm section GOT it and knew how to play it. Covering Zeppelin properly is rare too!
I obviously hear the bonham in his playing but wtf are you supposed to play? I mean those are just standard drums "sounding" in a way, he just is so precise and killer with fills. hes his own dude to me
@@Kuhlyedascope69 He very much is. Just early on, he had a Orange Vistalite configured close to Bonham for '75. Just like Fisher cribbed from Page donning the dragon suit. They wore it a little too brazenly. It's like they were a partial Zeppelin tribute act in the early days long before Jimmy Sakurai.
That was so tight. Like they've been doing it together for years. The singer's timber seemed pretty close to Ann's as well. I'd pay to say these fools rock some Heart classics all day long.
DeRosier is one of the great drummers. Hits it hard like Bonham.
Howard Leese choice of notes in creating guitar parts and solos is most awesome IMO.
RobTackettCovers Together they're double trouble multiplied. Rich to the ears.
They still got it!
This was the Real Heart..... of Heart....
I never cared for the MTV sell out ❤️
I liked it ok. I like some of the songs like If Looks Could Kill and Never and Alone. But so much of it was dreck, and I'm not sure they had a good riff after the original guys left. In fact the only really good riff I can think of was "Black on Black" from 1993 and it basically stole the riff from Barracuda.
@@chrisacer6605 it's a cover of a 1985 song by Lisa Dalbello. They changed some of the words.
@@davekelly2569 ok, and?
Great what a lucky girl Wow sounded perfect. Loved seeing the bo6s of heart❤❤❤❤
Those drums.... Dayum that awesome
WoW! After seeing this video I am convinced that it's not so much the people that make up this band it's the music, the instruments and the reaction from the crowd. Ann and Nancy, Roger and his brother, Michael the drummer, Steve, and Howard. WoW!
That's was awesome! Love it! One of my favorite songs.
I’ve seen Heart maybe ten times in my life since the late 1980’s and No other lineup outside Roger and Howard could play with this kind of intensity
Yeah I binge watched the Heart By Heart vids last night, and all I could think about was... what about Roger? Then, this on my algorithm...LOL. Roger He is the example of owning your instrument. I heard him say in an interview that playing is a lot about what you do to get yourself to the point of playing. How you take care of yourself, keep yourself in shape..before you even pick up your guitar. Makes a lot of sense. You have to be a musician, to be a musician is what I got out of it. Anyway, I've been playing over 50 years, and could only dream of playing like these guys....
Wow! They sounded authentic to the 1970's period when they recorded this song. Great job!
I saw Heart in Abilene Texas in the late 70s, I was already a HUGE fan but at 15 I fell in love that night. Close my eyes and Ann still absolutely rocks on vocals.
Killer! Its great to hear and see that !
Now that's a rehearsal I would've loved to have seen! Kick ass-o-rama!!!!
This video is joyful to watch love it :0)
What has to happen before ALL the original members of Heart appear on a stage together again...wounds have healed...lifes have changed, but it is evident that Heart is NOT Heart without Ann & Nancy Wilson, Roger Fisher, Howard Leese, Steve Fossen, & Michael Derosier. I hope it happens in my lifetime, but somehow I doubt it...well at least I still have some of the best music ever written. Thanks so much to all of you!
Wow! Roger Fisher can still rock out on that guitar and put together an awesome group! The lady had a powerful voice and even looks a little like Ann.
"Simply Beautiful !"
😎🤘🏽🥁🎸🎤🎶
Let's give it up for the vocals! This is the whole package.
OH MY GOD!!! Nancy is all that is missing
Would be an EPIC tour !!!!!!!!!!
@riolindamezra8585 - That is not Ann in the video, FFS!!
Oh yeah,
Michael DeRosier.
I do some Heart covers right now with a band I'm in. Something Bonham and DeRosier shared was a built in swing, 4/4 power but fluid and natural. Confident.
Missing in music today.
Killer! Roger is a great guitarist 👍
That was great. Gave me goose bumps. i bet the band felt the same.
He nailed it ...
Most people don't know it, but these guys WERE Heart - the band. Glad I found this nugget. That girl has pipes equal to Ann Wilson! WOW!! Sure wish this lineup could have done more.
+D Ward Good to know they are partially continuing this lineup. Without Roger though... it's just not the same.
This is bad ass! I wish I knew why these original guys ever left ann and nancy. Heart has never had that heavy sound since they left. I dont care how many hits they have had since. Michael Derosier was one of my early influences as a drummer. I saw him play some incredible riffs live when I was like 14 at the Cal Expo Fairgrounds on a nice 105 degree day in 1980
They dident leave, they were fired!
ron parker That is quite funny, considering how Ann Wilson once said in an interview that she can't understand why people think that Heart is 'her and Nancy, and the guys are just off in the background somewhere'. Meanwhile, almost every one of their studio albums has a picture of Ann and Nancy in the foreground, and the guys are off in the background somewhere. 'Little Queen' is a prime example.
+Scott Awes Agreed. There's no doubt that the Wilson sisters are talented and trailblazing women, and Ann is truly one of the greatest (if not the greatest) female rock vocalists of all time, but...these guys are the ones who gave Heart that hard-driving Zeppelin-esque sound in the '70s. Even in the '80s, after they had gone more pop, Heart still had a hard rock sound because at least Howard Leese was still in the band and was on lead guitar. Even "Black on Black," which is from the '90s, had that "Barracuda" sound because Howard played on it. I don't think the guys get enough credit for coming up with the basic sound of the band.
Dude, you have to be OLDER than 25 years, in order to understand WHAT went on with Heart.....OK?
No, just a SINGLE foot.
Mike just makes it SOUND like it's double bass.
YOU need to develop some EARS!
Sounds like they never left!! Awesome at its best!!!
this was one kick ass band always loved the original heart band..a dream to see!
Need more of this.
Wow powerful riffs and exceptional vocals
Watching this takes me back to when this album was originally released.
I was stationed in Iceland. Every week on I believe it was Wed, I would take a taxi, the Icelanders drove Citroëns, the little diesel cars. Very nice inside. Having a muscle car before being assigned to a foreign country which favored the small, fuel savers.
Anyway, I would get the Taxi and go to the NAVY EXCHANGE or N. E. X., known by ea letter, and not like it is today, mispoken like the word Next, but w/o the T.
My goal was collecting albums from the dated selections they had, to the latest bands, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and the newest sensational rock band Heart! We heard some of the tracks from the overnight shows on military radio, AFRTS. Charlie Tuna, Casey Kasem, and his sign off..Keep Your Feet On the Ground And Keep Reaching For the Stars!
Finally the Heart Album arrived. I was the first to get it. Another thing military personnel did was buy audio equip that made your ears bleed.
So when I put the album on the turntable, and the decks started dropping concrete below on the 1st deck, my room became the center of attention. Everyone wanted to know who this kick-azz group was.
This was Wed. By Knock Off, Fri pm, all 3 decks of my BEQ was jammin to heart.
Ok...Time to shut this down. Thanks for giving a now, Ole Fart the opportunity to do some Reminiscing(Little River Band) of when I was young and a serious rock fan of serious rock bands like Heart, who had the world by the tail in the Greatest Navy in the World.
The way it's supposed to sound. Love it.
This sounds so good!
Roger Fisher is an unsung guitar hero.
My favorite track on this epic song is the percussion work. Absolutely incredible.
I Love the original players
No one I mean no one can touch Ann Wilson the🐐
Awesome, great band and writer! Nice to see
I'm glad to hear a cover of Barracuda with a voice that can get close to matching Ann's!
This is fricken awesome:)
Wow, that girl has Ann's power vocals.
Not quite,but she is pretty good.
She is very good, does a nice job with a song demanding some serious vocal chops. Gretchen Wilson absolutely nails this song, she does Ann Wilson arguably better than Ann Wilson!
After a few cold ones you'll swear it's Ann.
Fergie actually does this song justice IMO.
Maybe you might.
Amazing band and such a good song
Pretty awesome hearing old heart
Incredible!
I think I'd rather see this on tour than the Wilson sisters version. What a fire band!!
*Absolutely!*
Holy shit they still sound great!!
Go on tour! Your ready! Sounds Great!
this is really first rate....it just goes to show you can play the parts (current Heart band) but still be missing 75% of all those little dynamics and nuances that made those songs great
I think the current incarnation of Heart is fine (to me they are a heckuva lot better than the 80s incarnation), but it's always better with the originals I agree. Hell, the 80s incarnation didn't even attempt to play Magic Man in it's correct form, they just cut out all the guitar parts and skipped the bridge. At least the current version has the balls to play it correctly.
first time I'm seeing this footage but I would certainly pay to see the these original guys I never cared for the heart version after these guys were out and some of the things I've heard and read I can't stand and Ann or Nancy Wilson!!!!!! and this girl on vocals is as good as ann Wilson tremendous!!
That was Awesome
Great playing
😳 *Wow! Posted in 2010.* 😳🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
now that's a drummer. And a drum set. Amazing natural sound. Not what the audience will hear after the engineers finish with it.
I was gonna say the same thing, I always loved the drums in Barracuda when they're played properly and hit hard. I really like his technique on the bass drum. I'm a guitar player and the guitarist made the song sound sweeter too. I could tell that it was the original guitarist. Why did these guys leave Heart?
Sorry pal, but EVERYTHING is produced.
It's the BIG difference between YOUR "home movies" and a MAJOR MOTION PICTURE.
Roger Fisher was bounced when, one night, high as a kite, he physically threatened Nancy onstage.
Steve and Mike were let go after the LA sessions for PRIVATE AUDITION proved to be nothing short of a disaster, thanks to producer Jimmy Iovine, who felt the need to insult the sisters in order to get some kind of "performance" out of them. The sisters eventually moved the production back to Seattle, but the damage had already been done and Mike and Steve were let go.
WRONG!
+Roger Fisher Thank you!
Awesome Guys!
