Ann Wilson. Best female rock voice of all time. Hands down.
👍
Easily.
I saw her on Dec 27th. She is the queen!!!
No.
In my book, they are the best of all time, and definitely the longest heart alive.
People can talk about the Runaways, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Suzy Quattro, Pat Benatar or whoever all they want. But for me, the #1 ladies in rock have been and always will be Ann and Nancy!
👍
You are absolutely right. Great voice, tasteful acoustic guitar playing, honey sweet harmonies and timeless songs in company with great musicianship. Superb!
FACT!
Midnight Mist She’s very talented, no doubt about it. But I’m not a fan of her style of singing.
Always!
Nancy said Anns voice was a gift from God. I say, so is Nancys. Along with her guitar playing.
Nancy is great on guitar but Ann??? Who are we kidding? Her voice has got to be one of the wonders of the musical world. Their harmonies - impeccable.
👍
I have seen them perform live and Nancy can SHRED like nobodies business. She could kick the ass of a lot of those hard rocking guys who people think are "guitar gods". Fantastic performers -- both of them.
LOVE their harmonies.
I would argue that Nancy is almost as amazing a vocalist in her own right. The song "These Dreams" from this same Alive In Seattle performance is stellar ( th-cam.com/video/0DLeH2FWFTE/w-d-xo.html ). The intonation is stellar. From grit, to soft breathy, to falsetto... she is masterful. And listen to Ann's amazing harmonies... Touche. And the finale is Nancy's sick range she displays at the end of the song... Don't imagine Ann with her dominant chest voice can pull that off... Whatever rock categories you can think of to plug these two into, and they're floating at the top.
@@chazfaz3595 Check out the album Nancy recorded from McCabe's Guitar Shop. She sings every song, with some help from friends. Her cover of In Your Eyes is--well, just listen for yourself.
Ann Wilson has one of the best, purest, and strongest voices in music
👍
@@wingsofpegasus They are all very good. But don't forget Janice Joplin and Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane) from the 1960's.
Very much like Linda Ronstadt, don't you think? Love both of them . . .
@@leonarddaneman810 Linda Ronstadt IMHO was the most versatile Female singer. Rock, Pop, Country, Mexican; you name it. A very great talented voice.
@@pbrucpaul Yup . . . and she was instrumental (pun intended) in cobbling together the Eagles. AND, SHE WAS SEXY. I saw her live in Iowa City. She rocked a cut-off Boy Scout uniform . . . ummmm, well, she did.
This kind of music never went out of style. The people who control the music industry went out of style.
👍
Good comment - but ugly profile pic
@@joe22589 I bet you don't remember that day
Everything goes out of style because music listening is generational, it has nothing to do with objective quality but the need to resupply the market with what the target demographic (18-34 in most cases)) want to hear at any given time.
@Jeremy Stillwell barack obama
Ann Wilson was born in 1950. She was 52 when she sang this! Her sister Nancy was 48!! Some amazing talent in that family!
And you loose the highs first, supernatural. I've still got a voice at 60, but not that range, and I save my voice by not talking.
Wow I didn’t know that, that is amazing that her voice is still as strong as ever ❤❤❤
Ann has one of the purest voices I've ever heard. I still crank up 'Magic Man' every time it comes on.
What a gem.
Hell yes.
Ann's voice still gives me goosebumps!!
👍
Two of most talented people in music period. The Wilson sisters talent will go on long after we are gone . Simply timeless
I saw Heart in 2014 and they were brilliant. Ann's voice was as rich and powerful as ever.
I did too! I will never pass up an opportunity to see them..this is making me jones to see them..like today 😂
These ladies have ascended into the pantheon of rocks greatest artists of all time, you will never see another heart in your lifetime, they are truly awesome
Im so glad this is appreciated.
Nancy Wilson is a guitar Goddess!!!
👍
That's some lovely alliteration right there!! 😁
They can do heavy metal, ballads, acoustic and folk rock!! Amazing performers!!
Hi, Fil. Ann Wilson is the greatest female rock vocalist of all time and Nancy is a beast of a guitarist!. Saw them live in 1977 and was blown away!. Thanks for what you do.
Fil, I can always tell when you really get moved by a performance. Your eyes get a bit weepy. Ann Wilson does that to me every time I hear her sing. And her sister Nancy harmonizing is heavenly.
I discovered you last week. Binge-watched for an evening while I was working in my bakeshop. This video confirms what I thought earlier; you just like great music, performed by great musicians, no matter what the genre is. It's an appreciation of artistry, technicality, and skill, working in tandem.
I dig it.
Thanks!
you'll become addicted. To resist is futile! :-)
Marna Ehrech You know....😁
😁 Binge-watched yesterday, had to force myself to stop to get something done. Look at me first thing this morning, I'm back😁
Me the same, but eight months later. Love his comments, analysis.
Really wish you had looked at their "Crazy On You" Nancy's guitar on that song an absolute standout !!!
I was watching a show on them one time and I swear and said her parents gave her the guitar and Nancy took it away. And the rest is history
He has!
Ann Wilson has always been my favorite female voice ever, so powerful so pure and yes her sister Nancy can complement Ann's voice perfectly while playing guitar very hard to do and they make it seem so easy. They have a definite gift no one else can match. Great together we are blessed to listen
Ann still brings the pipes in 2018!
David Hapka I wish her and Rob Halford would do a duet.
@@keithfreeland7638 I've never thought of that combination, but it would be amazing!
Yeah!
And in 2019.
Keith Freeland - I always wanted to hear Ann duet with Ronnie James Dio. That would’ve been ridiculously kickass.
One of my favorite things about you is that smile and the love in your eyes when you experience something this special. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw them with Joan Jett and Cheap Trick. They still are VERY good. They ended the show with Stairway to heaven. Just like at the Kennedy Center honors for Zepplin. A night to remember.
Cool!
Well, you didn't see "them". You saw Ann only.
But still the greatest female voice EVER !!!
@TacomPaul. It was Ann and Nancy. I'm not sure what you are talking about.
I Also saw that concert. In Seattle
@@JohnSmith-mk8hz Oh sorry !!!
I thought you had JUST seen them. Damn, my WAY bad.
I wish Ann had done a duet with Steve Perry. Would have been epic.
Dan Sweeney good call ✅
She did that duet with Don Henley back in the day. That's the only one I remember.
Ann Wilson is just on a whole another level. GREATEST female voice in classic rock history.
Fil I like your facial expressions when you're really digging the track.

I'm glad you've discussed Heart. They brought a breath of fresh air to the scene. As I recall, there were many guys who dissed them and posted some very ugly comments. But Heart is around and those guys are long gone.
Thanks!
I remember seeing the Grateful Dead in Oakland with a friend, in 1987, and she & I shared a taxi back to SF with a nice couple. We were so relieved when we reached our destination because all the driver talked about was how very tight Ann and Nancy’s clothes were (he brought up Heart even though we were returning from a Dead concert). He went on and on - really a creepy perverted creep. So yes, a lot of guys overlooked or ignored the band’s talent and reduced them to their physical appearance. (I know, not all guys!) Those women must have had to put up with a lot of crap over the years - am glad they did and that we are still enjoying their talent 40+ years after they first came onto the scene!
Hilarious.....She can blow your face off with her voice, LOL!! That has got to be the best compliment ever for a rock singer!
I am a huge HEART fan!!! No one comes close to Ann Wilson, I'm in love with her voice!
4:40 - She always sends chills through me when she belts out like that! All these decades and she STILL has a powerful effect on this old musician!
👍
Ann & Nancy still got it even now! Beautiful ladies beautiful! 👍👍👍👍👍
Ann's incredible voice is something I always admired.
👍
Wings of Pegasus I saw an interview with her once that said they intentionally wrote many of her vocals with the idea of still being able to sing them properly years down the road as they aged.
One of the greatest rock bands ever.
The Wilson sisters are Rock Goddesses! Nancy is a phenomenal guitarist and Ann has a voice like no other. Watch their performances from the 70’s to really be blown away.
👍
Ann's voice and Nancy's playing are still phenomenal. Amazing.
Heart is just so wow! Their voices are beautiful , the guitar playing is unreal, in a good way. They can rock it!
I saw Heart with my then wife who was pregnant with our 1st son. He will be 41 in a few months. To this day, that concert was one of my most memorable. I hope the sisters have worked out their differences.
They just have creative differences for the band, nothing terrible with their relationship, and have actually reunited for shows!
I feel sorry for you and anyone watching this for the first time. You can only imagine what was like to see those two perform. But I; I was there. It was at the Sands Hotel Amphitheatre in Las Vegas; during their release of Desire Walks On. Ann and Nancy did an acoustic set; just the two of them, like you, see here. Then after a 20-minute break, came back rocking hard with the band. I remember it well. They did Zeppelin's Battle for Evermore, with Nancy on mandolin, and Ann on flute. They performed this song, Dreamboat Annie, and many others. After the break; the lights dimmed, you could only hear Nancy's guitar playing the first notes before Ann belted out "Black on Black!" The lights flashes as the drums pounded, and the concert starts in earnest. It was an amazing night, and even those it had been some 20 years, those ladies this knew how to rock!
I enjoyed your take on this brilliant performance. Yes, Ann Wilson is a powerhouse, but she is also a precise musician who goes beyond vocal pyrotechnics to reach inside and touch our souls. Her singing often gets me emotional, and it's been that way for nearly 50 years.
They were nicknamed "Little Led Zeppelin" when they started out. Still the best Led Zep cover band I ever saw.
Their own body of work is quite extraordinary.
Nancy is quite good, and Roger Fischer was a great lead player
Did I miss Heart's tribute?! I'm not seeing it! Very sad.
👍
They also famously said that while most women wanted to bang Led Zep, they themselves wanted to BE Led Zep.
@@Oxmustube That's funny :-)
"Nancy is quite good?" Nancy can shred rings around a lot of the "guitar gods" who were her contemporaries. And she is still playing as good or better than when she was a new performer in the 70's
If you love this, give their studio (and many live) version of the Battle of Evermore a listen, Ann and Nancy Wilson performing as The Lovemongers! More incredible is their performance of Wild Horses live with Chris Cornell, absolutely mind blowing
I own this DVD and have watched it endlessly. With all due respect, the only issue I have with a song like “Alone” is that it isn’t one of Heart’s own songs, and it was recorded at a time when they used outside songwriters for the first time, and they later disclosed that they didn’t feel that they were their authentic selves at that time. But I have adored Heart since I was a teenager in the 1970s and have seen them perform live countless times. They have NEVER failed to deliver 1000%. Absolutely phenomenal. Thank you, Phil.
I saw Ann in concert last week...She sang this and sounds just as great today.
I dont know if you have seen it, but Heart did Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Honors Led Zeppelin. Nancy started out with the opening to Stairway and it was absolutely perfect
MrMrwilson11.... Their Kennedy Center performance is one of the most amazing performances I have EVER seen in my life!!! I have watched it countless times and each time it feels like I am watching it for the VERY FIRST TIME!!!....❤❤❤❤❤
Epic!
@@loripond1839 I actually cried like a baby the first few times I heard it.
@@HMan2828 So did Robert Plant!
Yep,brings tears to my eyes.
These two ladies have gotten better and better over the decades! It's just a pleasure to hear them! There are a lot of "women bands" out there, but Heart are just the tip of the iceberg! I take my hat off to both of them!
Watch that whole show. One of the best live performances you will ever see !
Is favorite group of all time. I've seen them live twice and it's wonderful
I think I love you!
You're one of the nicest critics I've ever seen online.
Thank you for your honesty.
Thank you for your videos.
Merry Christmas.
May God bless your life.
So true. Fil inspires us to curb our habits of knocking on other musicians.
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
love u too! do u play guitar?
Step aside...Fil is MINE!!
P.s. I AM a woman!!
Ann's voice in the '70s was already fantastic, but it mellowed into such an amazing instrument as she aged. Nancy's voice was always lighter than hers, but she retained a lot of power in those high notes.
I was lucky to see them twice. OUTSTANDING!
Stripped back and absolutely beautiful.
i got chills from that performance.
👍
if it’s a possibility got to listen to Christ Stapleton live at Austin CityLimits. Has sick guitar and vocal skill amazing non The song is called I was wrong. Also-another has at bing lounge a
Dude. Thanks so much for such a truly honest review/reaction. It is Feb. 2022, I am now 56 yrs old. I have followed this band since the late 70's. & have heard their songs over & over, & for me, it never, ever gets old. I have had the honor & privilege to see this, in my eyes one of the most iconic, legends of rock & roll to perform live onstage, multiple times. Ann & Nancy are clearly a force to be reckoned with to say the very least. Much love from Vancouver B.C. Canada.
What a strenght in the voice of Ann Wilson wow OMG ANN WILSON GOT DYNAMITE IN HER VOICE !!!Fil thank you so immensely to have analyse Heart 1!! Much love and ROCK!!!
A perfect example of "less is more". Two voices and a guitar. Stunning.
Fil's analysis illuminates and enhances an already great performance. I am in tears. I love how many times Fil smiles during this performance.
☺
Ann's voice gave me chills during this performance! I've heard the song a million times, and the slight hesitation before she "blew my face off" made the high notes really pay off.
In 1976, as a freshman in high school, bought an album "Dreamboat Annie" by this new group (lead by a couple of sisters) . And was not the last album i bought of Heart's.
Have seen them 3 times in 79, 80, and 81. They were very good live. Always had to return to the stage. People wouldn't leave!
They were actually pretty big in the 70's. Rock legends.
Always loved Ann and Nancy...easily one of rocks best bands...amazing vocals and just enough pop sensibility to make the songs ear candy. Tremendous musicianship. Thanks for this one!!
👍☺
I grew up belting Heart in my hairbrush! I was quite a performer myself 😜🤣😂 I truly love heart, always have and always will
2 beautiful voices from the heavens and the screeching and whistling of the sewer dwellers
Absolutely agree with you on this. These ladies are great.
👍
Greetings Fil,
I fed as a younger man on Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Ella, Aretha, Tina Turner and then, at age 17, I saw Janis & Big Brother at the Fillmore in San Francisco and I've never recovered for from that night on, she wore the crown as far as I'm concerned. It wasn't until Heart that I was once again completely infatuated with a female vocalist who had a head and chest voice that gripped with range and emotion and decades later the Wilson sisters are still killing it. Amazing harmonies.
As always, many thanks Fil.
had the hugest crushes when I was a boy on Nancy back in the day. what a beautiful voice and great guitarist.
Ann and Nancy have been amazing for decades now. I know you've reviewed their Midnight Special performance of Magic Man but if you want to watch Nancy play and Ann sing you should watch the performance of Crazy On You, also from the Midnight Special. Even today, Ann is still rocking it out, collaborating with all sorts of musicians including a just released guest appearance on Disturbed's latest single, Don't Tell Me.
Fil- we all know this is Ann's song but thanks for giving Nancy props on her playing and background vocals. Its nice to know other musicians acknowledge and appreciate the talent of artists who were not their contemporaries.
Been a fan since I was a kid. They always deliver, have not seen anything but performances equal to this. Heart is the only name they could ever use.
👍
Grew up with Heart, great band, they totally nailed Stairway to heaven at the Kennedy Center, honoring Led Zeppelin
Ann is still so beautiful. WOW! Des Moines WA. Normandy park loves you! My Les Paul is crying again. I am playing along. Nancy is killing it once again but no one looks or sounds so beautiful as Ann! Wow!
I was 21 when "Alone" was released. 26yrs later, Ann's voice still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it 🥰
Merry Christmas All... Have a Happy New Years...🎄🎶🎆
Thank you so much my friend! You too!! :)
Merry Christmas!
@@142horizon~ A little late, but thank you...
@@wingsofpegasus ~ Thank you Fil. Hope yours was good...
voices are heaven sent...could easily do the opera as well..anything..singing sisters talent beyond belief..helps and brings vocal talent
to rock...
I love Heart. Along with Fleetwood Mac, they are my favorite bands. My husband and I saw them in concert in the late 80s!
Ann's voice is one of the most recognized voices in rock and Nancy is in the top 5 best rock guitarist. So much talent between these two
Heart is the stuff of legend. I recall when Dreamboat Annie came out in the mid 70s, I was in high school and loved hearing that album *loud* on a killer stereo. Then Little Queen. Great stuff. Damn the harmonies captured in this performance are just amazing. Heart is great.
This same concert Nancy doing These Dreams is my favorite version . Absolutely stunning
All these years later Heart and Anne's voice make every nerve ending tingle. Love Heart from day one. Dream Of The Archer!! Sing Child Sing!
👍
I just stumbled on these videos. I’m a 30 year Human Resources Professional who always longed to perform music. My secret dream is to play keyboards in a band 😅I’m having as much fun watching the narrator enjoying the best rock music ever!
I enjoy your love of the craft, and solid analysis. I recognized Heart's extreme skill and talents back in the 70's. I consider Dreamboat Annie to be the finest 1st album ever done. The range of style, both vocally and instrumentally was a tour de force.
👍
One of my top 5 favorite albums. I need to dig it out and have another listen.
Dreamboat Annie, Dog and Butterfly, Little Queen are super 70's, it's a pity that talent like these are the rarity nowadays, it's all autobank garbage that is so forgettable!
I had such a crush on her when I was 16 what a voice. Great song.
No one can touch these two ladies. No one. Dear God, that was just beautiful!
A very cool selection Fil, as usual. Ann Wilson is (IMHO) the female Freddie Mercury. Incredible, powerful, delicate, subtle and massive all times. Nancy Wilson is a great guitarist who has been extremely influential to female players. Absolutely amazing for decades. I've seen them 4 times and each time has been phenomenal.
Cool!
I agree with what you said, except Nancy has been influential to guitar players, in general, not just females. I’m a guy and Nancy has inspired me for forty years, but I doubt I’ll ever have command of an acoustic like her. She makes magic and along with Ann’s incredible singing, they make for one of the best one-two punches in the history of rock music. Still.
Nancy is super talented, singing like that whilst playing so accurately, and holding up the whole song, she is an incredible support to her sister, and their voices work so well together, being sisters must help too.
I saw Heart perform about 5 years ago at McMenamen's outdoors outside of Portland. Phenomenal performance. Ann's voice was fantastic. Same if not better. Nancy rocked it on guitar and vocals. I lived in Seattle when they were just starting out and always loved them. I was thrilled to see them live and close up for a performance of a lifetime.
Cool!
For as much recognition as they have I still think in a way they were..are still underrated😍
I love to watch when you really are engrossed in a performance....I surely appreciate that you share so many genres and styles with the public. You truly educate the lost in todays pop culture
Thanks!
Love this channel
Best female voice in rock
Bill, Me too! :D
Thanks Bill!
Love this performance. When Ann belts out those big notes I get chills every time. It was seeing this performance that re-ignited my love for these two and I dug out all my Heart records. Then I went to see them live several times and they have been one of my favorites ever since. The harmonies between the two are great. Nancy is a great singer in her own right. And she's got the moves like Jimmy Page on stage with her swag and kicks still in her 50's! They are AWESOME!!!
I have loved Ann and Nancy since I first heard them in 1976. Unfortunately I never got to see them live.
Ann and Nancy are a pair of the most talented musicians in the World. We have loved Heart since the early 70's. Another INSANELY good review by Wings of Pegasus. There is no question that Fil is packed with talent and knowledge for sure!
Thanks Craig! 🙂
Go see them in concert. They R O C K!!! Saw them summer of 2017 and Ann et al hit ALL the right notes!
Cool!
Keep in mind they have been doing this Thier whole adult lives and who knows how long before that that they sang and played together. They are brilliant. Ann also plays keyboards and piano
This performance produced tons of chill-bumps.
That's a great song
👍
Heart is an example of how the journey through the male dominated music/rock world was much more difficult- they had to work hard and it shows -always loved them and admired their talent
Their songwriting glows with expert craftsmanship.
👍
Both of them, Heart - wonderful! Nancy is one one the best guitarists ever; Ann one of the best ever
