    In this episode of #TheDailyDoug, I'm listening to and watching Heart's Crazy On You. I have heard this classic song before, but I have never had the pleasure of seeing this live performance from 1978. It is a powerful and rocking performance. I hope you enjoy!

    There is absolute power and majesty in this performance; and make no mistake - they were at an advanced stage of perfecting their craft, and each member DELIVERS.
    The energy and cohesiveness is just SO palpable!
    If this doesn't give you goosebumps, you many want to check yourself for a pulse!
    They were a force with which to be reckoned and could flat out destroy SO much of their contemporary competition!
    Despite the misogyny with which the sisters/band had to contend from narrow-minded critics and insecure men, the world ignored that noise and instead recognized the musical talent and gifts they shared and elevated them to the status of legends - deservedly so.
    I, for one, am grateful.

      I don't hate her, I just don't appreciate prima donnas, especially when they are ignoring their REAL talent to pretend they are someone else or have the talents that those other, REAL musicians are delivering. She should have been happy being in, and representing, the group. I would have cheered her on and respected her far more, if she had only concentrated on representing herself.
      They have songs where she shows off her beautiful voice, and, contrary to your idiot ranting, I think she killed the opening. I just don't appreciate her taking all the credit for it and pretending that she was the sole lead "guitarist" throughout the entire rest of the song. When you do that, you're being selfish and conceited, and guilty of trying to steal the thunder from the people who actually deserve it for the contributions THEY made, and I have no time or respect for that kind of BS.
      You go ahead and play her talent agent and promoter, but you're being unrealistic ... and were never offered that job. So, why are you so shallow and so insistent on shielding her ??? Are you trying to protect her honor, her feelings, her deceit or all these things ???
      No one liked Milli Vanilli when it was found out that they really didn't sing their songs, and no one likes or respects singers as much, once they find out that their voices are "autotuned". So why are you sticking up for her ??? We aren't "the person" who faked their way through all those music videos, pretending that the rest of the band was insignificant and unimportant.
      With that in mind, it looks to me like YOU'RE the hater. I just called the balls and strikes ... you just didn't like the call (i.e. the truth). That's not my problem ... it's yours !!!

And apparently to some, if you're not playing electric lead, you're inconsequential. Which is total bs.

    Heart came out of the gate STRONG on this first album. Not a weak track on it. I actually bought it because of the album jacket with two stunning ladies on it, and hoped the music would be good. I was 15 then. And I became an instant fan, because the music was just as beautiful as those ladies. Fantastic musicians and songwriters. The entire band was superb.

    Silver Wheels was not the original opening section for Crazy On You -- but it showed up on 1980's BeBe LeStrange record as its own song. It's longer than what she plays of it here; she then goes into the more Spanish-flavored "regular" intro; then into a song from Dog & Butterfly called "Hijinx" which is the funky bit; then back into the Spanish stuff. Great intro!

    We saw them a few years ago in small venue before the sisters had their falling out. They played this song and it was during this opening solo I figured out why they keep performing…….they love it! Nancy was teasing the crowd by playing right up to main riff that leads into the song and then veer off into another area building anticipation. She did this 3-4 times and I noticed Ann just kind of leaned back on the elevated drum stage watching and smiling. Just pure joy after all those years and decades of performing!

    You mentioned Michael Fisher as Ann's lover, he was the inspiration for Magic Man. Nancy started dating Roger Fisher (lead guitarist) but both relationship fell apart and they booted Roger out of the band and went from a 6-piece to a 5-piece with Howard Leese taking over the lead guitar duties. Roger Fisher is really an underrated guitarist by the way.

    • @joelhammond4162
      @joelhammond4162 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes, in my opinion, the band was never quite same without Roger. He had phenomenal tone and sustain, great vibrato and utilized some interesting tunings, and came up with very creative and interesting licks. Howard Leese was solid, but definitely not the lead player that Roger was. I get why the girls kicked him out and dumped Michael as the manager, the whole band had some of that Fleetwood Mac type turmoil going on. I wish they could have avoided that, at least with Roger, so that the original band might have stayed together longer. They just had a great chemistry musically. It would have been interesting to see what material they would have continued to write and come up with together. Most likely it would not have changed the outward label pressures that occurred in the 80s and the push to use outside song writers. Of course, many of those songs were catchy, commercial and easy to listen to, and some became huge hits that have had some longevity to them. Many were memorable, great to sing along to and great for the arena rock of the day. That said, IMO they were just not as creative and interesting or diverse as their original band material from the 70s, but that can also be said about lot 80s music compared to the 70s. Still, great band, great career, and not taking anything away from what they’ve accomplished in totality. Without a doubt, Ann Wilson is one of the greatest rock voices of all time and it’s not apparent that has lost much if anything with age. Sadly, I was too young to see Heart in the 70s, but I’ve seen them multiple times from the late 80s-2000s and they still rock and put on a good show. Always enjoy there choice of covers as well. Nice to hear Ann voice on those.

    In that extended beginning solo, in the passage right before she finally committed to Crazy On You, Nancy Wilson slipped in some melodic material that landed in their later album Dog and Butterfly. My first wife and I had that album's title song played at our wedding.
    As for the world right now (4/28/2022), it's a melancholy thing. People who don't have compassion and empathy should never have the power to start wars.
    I'm learning that having loved ones who are young, starting out, and - what worries me - of military age, is a whole lot scarier than being in uniform myself ever was. My grandson is 21 and a brand new father, and when I see the news footage of young families and young soldiers in Ukraine I can envision him in the middle of that kind of nightmare. I feel for those young families and for their parents and grandparents - they were just trying to live their lives and got this dropped on them.
    It makes me reflect on what it must have been like for my parents - my brothers and I all served as Marines, and I was in for twenty years. I wonder now how much worry my brothers and I caused for them. My grandson has talked about enlisting - I hope he doesn't.

"I was a willow last night in my dream, I bent down over a clear running stream, I sang you the song that I heard up above and you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love."

    I have seen Heart live 5 times. They are fantastic live. When I was 10 I was just starting to play drums and guitar. Growing up listening to a male dominated rock genre at the time. I remember my older sister saying that women could rock too. Being a little naive jerk I said, "No. Women can't rock like the guys can." She got a mad look on her face but without saying a word she brought an album out of her room and said, "Listen to this!" It was Heart Little Queen. I put on the headphones and was met by Barracuda! This song rocked my world and I began feasting on crow as each song played. I absolutely apologized and we had a discussion about stereotypes and misogyny. My little 10 year old mind learned some valuable life lessons that day! And so definitely yes Women CAN absolutely rock and from that day on Heart became one of my favorite bands. I own all their albums and see them live whenever I get a chance! I love the women who rock series you are doing and I hope it will open the minds of many young musicians who will see it and inspire young ladies to rock!!

    Roger Fischer, Ann’s boyfriend at the time is the lear guitar on this. He is a bit forgotten now, but at the time he was very, very highly regarded as a lead guitar. He left after this tour and the band was never as good again. The drummer, Michael Desrosiers, was Nancy’s boyfriend. He and Steve Fossen left also at that time. Nancy’s intro was slightly different than the original because she inserted in there a part of the intro to the song Hijinx, from the Dog & Butterfly album their best and most mature album in my mind.

For their performance at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - th-cam.com/video/RBq_THTWNM4/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1 - she grabs the pick from behind her ear.

But The Daily Doug and The Charismatic Voice are the two reaction video channels that I watch more regularly because you both dive into the music itself and leave me knowing more at the end of the video than I knew going in.
    You should go to that channel and hear Elizabeth's dissection of this song. You both have very different approaches, both revelatory, but she has commentary on the vocals in this song that I believe you'd find fascinating. I did.

    I saw them about 45 years, August 1977, ago in a small 2,500 seat arena on the boardwalk in Asbury Park, NJ.
    It was the night Elvis died. They blew the roof off the joint. Rick Derringer opened for them.

    04:05 that is a guitar part from the song "Hijinx". Check out the "Dog and Butterfly" album sometime.
    I saw them live in 1978, it was amazing.

    I think that's Michael Derosier on the kit. Monster drummer, drove that band.

    This song reminds me Iron Maiden songs, the number one band that i hear in my life. Where eagles dare have a mention of barracuda in his solos! And bruce dickinson said in a interview that Ann Wilson is one of he favourites singers of all time!! Thank you to reminds me this band. I think i have to listen more of then!

    As noted further below, Michael Desrosier is drumming. Kat Hendrikse did the recording session prior to Desrosier joining the band (he was the last to do so). Also, the mix of acoustic and electric can be heard back in the early Beatles, where either George or John supplemented the electric sound of the other with their Gibson acoustics. Led Zeppelin, a massive influence on Ann and Nancy - even more notably on Desrosier - were big on the acoustic-electric mix. It is somewhat ironic that even Beatles tribute bands often overlook the importance of the acoustic guitar to the band's early sound.
    Also, though so much focus is justifiably on the Wilson sisters, this was a killer band, with Roger Fisher (Mike's brother) such a creative force in the studio and driving force onstage. The band was never the same after his ejection.

    Genesis had a good mix of acoustic and electric guitars in the 70s, and so did Rush.

  • @EddieReischl
    @EddieReischl 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Always loved Nancy's intro piece, and how she attacks the beginning of the main song rhythmically, it's a little out of my normal comfort zone playing-wise, but that made it interesting to listen to and practice getting better at it. The two sisters look absolutely gorgeous here as well, natural beauties with the wind blowing their hair all around, the late 70s were kind of awesome.

    If this is the Dog and Butterfly tour I saw them on this tour. Fantastic concert. Mistral Wind was a highlight from that album. Straight On was the single. Ann's vocals were really powerful in Mistral Wind. Would love to hear your reaction to it.

    This original band was one of the most brilliant in the history of Rock. Fisher, DeRoiser, Fossen and Leese are GROSSLY underappreciated for what they did for Heart. Heart was never the same after they were ousted. They were the soul of Heart. Yes Ann and Nancy are spectacular but it was the combination of them and THIS band that made Heart who they were. Want instant proof? They did two performances at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One with a reunited band and once with their current band. In one moment, a band that hadn't played together in decades sounded like it was 1977 all over again while their current band was sluggish and lacked any feel whatsoever.
    Michael DeRoiser is one of the greatest rock drummers ever. While there is only John Bonham, Michael was the closet to Bonzo I have ever heard!! Stunning player and the reason why all these vintage Heart songs sound so amazing!!

  • @somersetcace1
    @somersetcace1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was never really a fan of heart, aside from some of their key hits, until 1985. I bought tickets to see them when they were touring for the album `Heart,` for a girl who was a big fan. Half way through the show I practically forgot she was there. Then they did three zeppelin covers in their encore, marvelously, and I've been an avid fan ever since! As for the girl, well, it was a fun night anyway.

    Hey Doug, have you listened to or are you interested in Bjork? She'd be a great pick for Women Wednesday, or Weird Wednesday, or any day really. She has a really interesting and unique sound, a fantastic mix of orchestral and electronic, often with very dense arrangements. Song recommendations: Joga, Pagan Poetry, Sun in my Mouth.

    Dreamboat Annie. Still in love with that album and of course Dog and Butterfly just is a nice song.

  • @scottstevens7639
    @scottstevens7639 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I believe this was the ‘Dog and Butterfly’ tour. The reason I believe this is both because I saw them on this tour and because Nancy inserted the riff from one of the tracks from ‘Dog and Butterfly’ into the middle of the acoustic intro.

    💜 Loved your reaction! Such a great song. In their 2012 autobiography, Ann said she wrote the lyrics to Crazy On You and gave them to Roger & Nancy. Roger & Nancy had no problem putting music to it.

  • @Jessica_Roth

    "Silver Wheels" eventually appears on its own, on "Bebe LeStrange", the group's fourth album. (Or fifth, if you count "Magazine", but that's a whoooooole other story…)
    I love how after the spotlight's been on Nancy for most of the song, at the end Roger Fisher just goes tearing across the stage, as if to remind people that he's there, too. (What makes it even more fun is that the two of them were dating at the time.)
    Also, I suspect Anne of telling a few fibs about her great love for Mike Fisher, but I do think she's being honest about how Ford-era stress was the genesis of the song. (A rather different sound from Billy Joel's "Miami 2017", which was born out a similar issue.)

    If your into Heart I recommend Kicking and Dreaming as a great read. Covers their history from kids up through the band Heart and into the Love Mongers. Spent a week sailing off the coast of Maine and could not put the book down.

    I saw them live in the summer of 1978 when they were touring for Dog & Butterfly. Such a fantastic show! They really delivered and their encore was Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll". You can find some more modern Heart live tracks from the 2003 Live in Seattle DVD -- every track from that show is floating around TH-cam and they were outstanding!

  • @JesseBergquist13

    When Anne wanted Nancy to be in the band, the rest of the band gave her a “test” - if she could play “Clap” by Steve Howe (Yes), she was in.

    • @thembill8246
      @thembill8246 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Apparently growing up, their parents could really only get Nancy hands on some of the crappiest, worst guitars you can imagine, with impossibly high action strings, so she just learned from there, and earned a reputation is having hands of granite, able to seamlessly play things other guitarists would struggle with.

    Not exactly the way that Heart combined acoustic and electric but the first song that comes to mind for me is Ahead by a Century by the Tragically Hip, either the original release, or the final concert performance version from 2016. Another would be Hasn’t Hit Me Yet-Blue Rodeo.
