IDK if it's physically possible to sound better w/age? But, goddamn these two sure do. Nancy is a top notch vocalist right up there w/Ann, just a different style and approach. beautiful voice.
Paramount Theater Downtown Seattle...I was there..one of my top 3 concerts and I went to a lot of concerts in my life..this is a small venue but every song was exceptional.. .
The summer I was 15 I spent in California with my father, who I hadn't actually seen since I was 5. I had gotten the Dreamboat Annie album for my birthday and I must have run a needle through that thing 1000 times that summer. When I hear any Heart song it takes me straight back to that beautiful, scary, sunny, short, endless summer. I still know every song word for word.
Hi! I get what you're saying! There is something about that Dreamboat Annie album that just takes you to a place that no other album does. Love it. Thanks so much for listening! I really appreciate it.
Breathtaking version of a beautiful song. The significance of this being in Seattle is of course that it's their home town. (Ann took quite a few of the grunge heroes under her wing in the 90s, perhaps most notably Jerry Cantrell, whom she remains close friends with). But yeah, the hands of Bernie Taupin are apparent in these lyrics - they stand out among their songs of the era. EDIT: Their change of style in the 80s was mainly pushed by their label. From what I understand they were quite happy with the success that followed, at least initially, but that they eventually felt estranged from that whole aesthetic. To my ears the production of that era is of course often very dated, but songs such as These Dreams (1985) are so good that they transcend the production, at least when performed by these two incredible sisters. I mean, this live version is not that far removed from the original in terms of arrangement. It's just that the drums sound like drums and not like your typical 80s gun shot style of drum sound.
I was at this concert...it was at the restored Paramount Theatre Diwntown....Ann's opening in the video from Alone was filmed upstairs in the lobby of this theatre.. The theater is very intimate, they were very casual, it was a wonderful night...great talent....
Hey Bob. You mentioned Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship. Yes ,These dreams was co-written by Bernie Taupin. He co-wrote it with Martin Page, who also co-wrote We Built This City by Starship. You have reacted to a song by Halestorm, lead singer Lzzy Hale has said that Heart is one of the first, if not the first, band she heard that showed her that ,yes, girls can do this too.
I don't know if you mentioned this or not (I may have missed it), but some extra info: These Dreams was first offered to Stevie Nicks, who turned it down, then Heart picked it up, and it became their first and only #1 Billboard song.
Wow brings back such memories Heart was one of my favorite bands of my youth and I agree with Dream Boat Annie is one of the best albums of the time Great reaction.
A couple other songs from this same concert..One is Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters sung by Nancy which is a cover of Elton John's song..Another one of my favorites is Dog and Butterfly by Ann..Another The Battle Of Evermore cover of Led Zeppelin no one has done a reaction to it..All 3 is up here at this same concert..Check it out..There great...
Dog and Butterfly is another one that would have fit perfectly on Dreamboat Annie. Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters is one, if not my favorite, Elton John song. Marren Morris also did an amazing job on that song.
The guy in the dark with the hat is bassist Mike Inez. He started out in Ozzy Osbourne’s band and played on the No More Tears record, as well as the tour for that album. He then moved on from Ozzy because he was offered a job to replace Mike Starr from Alice In Chains in around 1993. Mike is still in the AIC. He was just helping out Ann and Nancy for this performance.
Hi Bob, are you familiar with Hearts sideproject The Lovemongers ? they made a crackin cover of Led Zeppelins battle of evermore for the movie Singles in 1992
Heart is such a great band. If you haven't watched their tribute performance of Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center, it would be nice to see you react to it. It's fabulous. You mentioned how bands like Jefferson Airplane lost their way when they become Jefferson Starship. What about Chicago Transit Authority?
Chicago fell into the same trap that The Doobie Brothers did. They went from these cool rock bands into soft, mellow rock. Personally, I think that move destroyed those bands. Just my humble opinion. ;)
@@jerrylarocque9600 I agree! I'm not a big fan of the 90s. Not saying that all the songs were bad. I just wasn't crazy about the "sound". They took away the sound of a "band" and replaced it with electronic sounds. Just didn't sound genuine to me anymore.
You may have noticed a tiny difference on the voice of the studio version, which has just a hint of raspiness in it. (Think Kim Carnes.) Nancy was a little ill during the original. There is a little different "color" to her voice (not worse, nor better,..,just different). I think the "sweeter" quality in great.
I’ve always been captivated by Nancy Wilson and her voice is so beautiful.
I always called it love. LOL
I think so too….
Good God, she's got a beautiful voice!
I was at this concert at the Paramount Theater in Seattle..It was intimate and personal...in my top three concerts

I'm thinking that, yes, they can sound better!

Ok, now I'm officially jealous. Saw them many years ago, so it was nice to hear that this song (which is a favorite of mine) still sounded so great.

She's an amazing singer! That video I reacted to really blew me away. So powerful!

I personally think this live version is superior to the studio version.
I actually agree with you on that. Amazing version.
Have you seen Their performance of mona lisas and mad hatters at he same Seattle concert?
IS able, not was.. she is still able
Hi. I'll have to go back and see what you're referencing. I still think they both sound great today, so if I said otherwise, my apologies.
One of your favorite bands but never heard this one? what the!
How is that possible? Ha. Well, it found you now.
Hi Bob, are you familiar with Hearts sideproject The Lovemongers ? they made a crackin cover of Led Zeppelins battle of evermore for the movie Singles in 1992
Hey Tom. No. I'll definitely have to look into that. I can see Ann cranking that from her vocals!
Song was first offered to Stevie Nicks but she turned it down because she already had more than enough songs for her album
Very nostalgic😢😅
Thanks. I'll look into it.

@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind you can add Fleetwood Mac and Roxy Music to that list as well, Bob.

Try Sissel, Slow Down! Another norwegian beaty! I’m not a believer, but she can change us!
She's definitely on my list. She's been requested a lot. Thanks

You should listen to Jupiter's Darling
That must be a newer album. Never heard of it. I'll check it out.
