When Chris Cornell and Jerry Cantrell are playing backup guitar for you..... Ann and Nancy are Legends

Her voice is just as fantastic live. That can’t be said for everyone. She’s definitely one of the greatest female voices in rock.

Ann Wilson is arguably the best female rock vocalist of all time and my personal favorite. Loved this one!

Sultry and powerful. She still sounds great after all these years, but, she was utterly astonishing back in her younger days. Such a great band.

their rendition of "Stairway to Heaven" for The Kennedy Center was epic!

Nancy Wilson's opening riff on this song is so iconic, you know it's Barracuda. To be honest I didn't listen to Heart growing up, and this is the only song I know from this band. But it is a classic 🤘

Many singers when you hear them live don't/can't hit some notes the same as you'd hear on the album cut because of lack of production. Especially with older singers. And that's fine because you don't really expect it in a live performance. Ann Wilson however, hammers those notes like she's using a nail gun - almost exactly as she has for almost 40 years. If you haven't heard Heart doing Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center (in front of Led Zeppelin) you really need to. She's one of few singers that could pull it off and it shows on Robert Plants face.

I remember when this song came out and how blown away I was with her vocals. That was back in the 70's when vocalists had to sing because there was no autotune. In a way I feel bad for Nancy, she is overshadowed by Ann but if you see them enough you realize she also has a great voice and is a great guitar player.

As others have commented, if you haven't already reacted to it please check out their version of Stairway from the 2012 Kennedy Center honoring Led Zeppelin. It's absolutely epic!

Female version of Led Zepplin. In fact, only band LZ gave permission to play and sing their songs because they respected this band so much.

Living just north of Seattle, I have to say I take a lot of pride in the number of phenomenal musical artists that have rocked so hard here.

I just saw Ann Wilson on Saturday here in Sterling heights Michigsn!! She is still AMAZING!! at 73 years old!!

Like many great Seattle singers such as Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, and Geoff Tate, Ann had vocal training from David Kyle. It might be worth taking a look at his students back to back from a vocal coach's perspective to see what similarities they have in their repertoire that they might have have picked up from their shared teacher. What I've noticed is he seems to be able to teach people with good low ranges how to stretch their chest and mix into higher pitches than is typical for their 'natural' range.

I've seen them live several times and met Ann and Nancy on three different occasions! Not only are they outstanding vocalist they are incredible musicians! Thanks again and great reaction!

Has Ann Wilson ever sung a note off key? Missed hitting any one single note ever? Nope? Never? That's what I thought. She's the GOAT of female rock singers. Period. End of story.

Love the ladies. Saw Ann and Nancy in concert so many times is Seattle. Every time they performed in Seattle, me and my girlfriends piled into the car and headed north, to see our ladies "rock". ❤ Awww. . Chris. 😢. I miss Chris. Still heartbroken over Chris.

Freaking Nancy Wilson, could not be a more outstanding accompaniment, and phenomenal in her own right.

Nancy has the best Guitar God moves. She is my hero

You can never go wrong with these two ladies. Heart is amazing and Ann is among the best vocalists, male or female and Nancy is phenomenal as well and also has a great voice! I'd recommend checking out this song live when they were younger too! Always excellent!

Add to the fact that Ann is slamming those vox against a serious high volume electric guitar, bass and drum backdrop! She is epic and always has been...

Ann Wilson is a national treasure. I saw the Dog and Butterfly tour in 1978 and they were phenomenal. I’ve seen Heart/Ann Wilson solo 6 times and they never disappoint. Ann is one of my all-time favorite singers as well. ❤️🤘🤘

I just happened to listen to 'Magic Man' on the radio a few minutes ago, driving home from work this morning. It's the same voice in both songs, decades apart. That's good vocal longevity.

You're in good company... Ann is one of Floor's favourite singers, too. Great reaction.

My very first ever concert to attend was Heart… New Year Eve, 1977-78. It’s also, consequently, the first time I ever smelled pot! Such talented vocalists and musicians!

Nancy Wilson is like fine wine gets better with age. She is my favorite female singer. Listen to, the dog and the butterfly ❤it got me through my teenage years.

She makes it look and sound effortless. Her technique is SO good!!

'77 seems like so long ago but I still thoroughly love this song and Ann Wilson continues to belt it out like no other. She's a powerhouse!

I’ve been waiting for you to do Ann Wilson. 🙏🏻❤️ She’s one of my favourite female vocalist’s of all time. She’s 62yrs old here. Very impressive. I love all your analyses. 🎙👌🏻👌🏻 Hoping you dive into Barbara Streisand. 🤞🏻

Ann is who really made me want to sing cos I've got a deeper voice. It's very comfy down there for me. But the climb, hooley dooley if I'm really warmed up I can get it lol

Absolutely,positively one of the greatest singers who ever walked the earth!

One thing I love about this particular song is the sheer venom that Ann brings to the stage. Another Heart song that I'd live to see analysed is Bad Animals. It seems to me that Ann carries the entire song because the guitars just give her the framework on which she hangs ger performance.

Ann played Wacken last year. She sounded terrific.

Takes me back 46 years, 36 from this performance, when I saw them do this live in Asbury Park, NJ.

Great reaction, Bethany! I really love the studio version of this, which is the one that blew me away in my teens. It was one of the first non-standard time signature rock songs that charted high. Ann's voice has stood the test of time, too. I really enjoyed this one.

Heart...oh how we loved them in the 80s. :)

It’s clear the players slowed down 5- 8 bpm to help Anne catch her breath during this powerhouse vocal.

Anne Wilson is a GODDESS!!! Chuggah Chuggah Choo Choo Train comin' through! Bring your cat to the concert!

Love all of this. Nancy has a great voice in her own right. What a line up.

I saw Heart on stage after Dreamboat Annie came out. Then, I saw them once more after the release of Dog and Butterfly. They never disappoint. Always top notch.

I first heard this song years ago in a video game, GTA San Andreas. I liked it that time, but then I completely forgot about it. Last week one of our customers suggested barracuda vpn to connect their system for a development. When I heard the name, I thought of the song and I searched you tube. I found it and shared it with my colleagues. They are mostly younger and they didn't know about this song. We listened and appreciated once again. And today, in my favourite reaction channel, you react this song. What kind of a coincidence is this? We have a phrase in Turkish for such situations. " Our hearts were together".

It's a fun surprise that you, as a voice instructor, really enjoys & appreciates this genre of music too! I had the (unaware) stereotype that you're preference would be classical! So, it's quite fun to watch the variety of sounds you enjoy! 😉

To be able to sing like that 36 years after the original recording is just astounding.

Not to mention that Nancy is one of the best rock guitarists.

Great performance! My personal favorite is "Straight On"; such a great example of the power, and expression, of early Ann. Thank you for the video.

i love this woman.

My favourite female singer of all time. I love her with my whole HEART (oh a pun!) SO, I’m a Gen x and I listen to Heart on the original vinyl I bought with pocket money when I was 15. I lie down on the carpet with headphones that plug into the amp… old school experience of listening to music. Ann is meant to be listened to like that. You can’t change my mind. Thank you for this video

Imagine 2 of the best singers of ALL TIME on stage together ( Wilson,Cornell) and. His is playing the guitar. LEGENDS

I was lucky enough to see them in concert twice!

Not only do they have HEART, they light a 🔥🔥🔥🔥with each song they perform... Fi-yah... And still rocking it out at the young age of 62... Legends are these sisters... Classic, timeless and the tunes still sound FRESH... all you missed Bethany is the head banging 😉😉😁😁😁🔥🎙️🎹🎶🎼🎧🌟🎵🎤🔥

Both of these Women are so incredibly Talented! Ann with her Outstanding Vocal Quality and Nancy with such a Classic, Rocking style of Guitar playing! Two of the Queens of Rock N Roll!!!

wow honestly u popped up on my watchlist. Beautiful

O wow shes awesome thanks fr the video and u spot on again great smile from u again love yr smlie

Great reaction video. LOVE ANN!

What a great job you did. By far the greatest if my vore counts? I seen them live 11 times! She has always been my favorite. Thank you for sharing your passion for such a God given intrument. I seen them everywhere, one time i was very close to her, I swear she doesnt even need the microphone. Just love them. Still gives me chills. Sad part is not many really have the same passion for her voice like we do! Thank you for this one.

😁🙌🏼Her voice is PERFECTION!!🎉❤ I LOVE Heart, & so glad i had the "Pure privilege" of seeing them live, in my glory days!

Thanks for reviewing Ann Wilson. Love her singing!!

Ann has such control of every facet of her craft. She always brings it no matter if it's a live show, studio or even singing the anthem at a game. Chills and goosebumps abound. How blessed we are to have her sharing all of these years.

One of the Greatest female voices....ever. subbed, love your analysis.

Seeing Heart in Atlanta in May so I’m here getting prepped 😅❤

Oh I love seeing your facial expressions. I saw them in Birmingham Al. Chill bumps every time.

Still have much esteem for you, still have a liking for your analysis. Be blessed.

Ann's greatness with Nancy backing her up --- their voices blend together like Sangria wine, and it never gets old.......

I completely Agree with you Ann Wilson Her Vocals Wow! First time I saw them was 1979 Texxas Jam and Oh When she sang Dog and Butterfly You have this one covered I have gotten to see them several times and will be seeing in August with Journey Def Leppard Steve Miller and Cheap Trick Love Heart

I do so enjoy your videos, Ann is one of my all time favorites. However, Nancy is a terrific singer as well. Would you please consider reacting to a song in which she takes the lead? ‘These Dreams’ is a great one to consider. Stay safe and stay well. 😎✌🏻🤟🏻🤙🏻🖖🏻

Please use studio versions of these legends as much as you can. Many live performances are uneven.

I've seen them multiple times live, great shows....but listen to the studio version when she was in her prime. Also listen to her sisters lead work, like These Dreams. There is some mind blowing harmonies in there songs as well.

You should check out Ann Wilson sing "Beware of Darkness" she does a excellent job singing the song.

When i was a kid in the late 1970's & early 1980's the biggest Rock bands were Heart, Van Halen, Rush & David Bowie. At least here on the west coast. They were the most commonly played artists on radio & every kid i knew had their albums.

Little Queen was the first 8-track tape I ever bought! Ann is one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time, male or female. A bit of trivia - Ann actually had a pretty serious stuttering problem when she was a kid, but realized that she didn't stutter when she sang! I'd say she Aced speech therapy!

At her age… AMAZING! I can’t watch her perform anymore without tearing up.

This song has been one of my favorites right from the very first time I heard it on the radio when I was I think 11 back in the 70s. Love Ann. Ever heard/seen them do that Led Zeppelin tribute of Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center in 2012. Awesome!

I’m lucky I got to see them in concert about four years ago. They still have it!

Ann and Nancy are the Real Deal Neil!

Coolest part about this one was seeing your reaction to badass women doing their thing

Ann is awesome always brings her "A" game. If I may make a suggestion, give Sandy Denny a listen. She brought British folk music kicking and screaming into the 20th century

Happily subscribed and binging!

I'm not going to take away anything from the newer singers like Madonna and Whitney Houston and but I am so blessed to have grown up with some of the greatest female singers ever like Linda Ronstadt Ann Wilson Joni Mitchell Dolly Parton Emmylou Harris Janis Joplin and Grace Slick

Holy Barracuda vocal performance! May I suggest the next step would be to set up an interview with Ann Wilson for your show. Book that ticket for Seattle, meet your vocal inspiration and share some insights with your channel. Let the adventure begin....

I saw Heart back in 1985. Ann blew me away with her vocals. It was an Awesome concert.

Ann and Linda...absolutely my favorite female singers. Ever.

Well, all I can say is, she's the best female vocalist that I've ever heard. And I've heard quite a few.

I loved Heart ❤️ 💙 💜💚💖⭐️

We hear a bit of your voice and its marvelous. Love to hear you sing one

One of the greats. Incredible

Dealing with aging and health issues and to perform like this is just amazing and humbling to witness.

Now you see how floor Hansen Ann was a big influence on floor I hear her voice in floors voice love this band I like Nancy being the only girl with all the guys

Such a sexy voice! This is one of all time favourite songs! ❤ So damn smoky and little “Cher” raspy

🤘❤🤘 Ann Wilson is such an iconic figure in rock and hard rock. Her most recent solo album came out, last year, and it's amazing! Many people think Ann & Nancy are the founders of Heart. They're not. Heart was founded in 1967 by lead guitarist Roger Fisher and bassist Steve Fossen. They auditioned & hired Ann in 1970. Nancy was brought in, in 1974. Heart is definitely rich in drama, heartache and disappointment. According to a 2022 interview, Nancy said she and Ann have not spoken to each other since 2019.

When I was a child in the 70's my Mom had this record. I used to cry when she played it because Ann Wilson's voice was so high that it hurt my young ears!

Ann was 62 or 63 here, so yep that is a very strong voice with great technique. You can tell they weren't very rehearsed here, at least not the drummer. Tempo is dragging from the studio version.

Ann has a cover of 'Unchained Melody'. Worth a listen.

I saw them a few times in the ‘70’s when they were touring for their first two albums Dreamboat Annie and Little Queen. It was great.

So, so good.

Ann takes such great care of her voice. I don't think it's changed much since day one. I miss Chris Cornell... He was another singer who flexed his voice a lot.

😊 The thing is this was natural for Anne and Nancy .

Ah yess, a true powerhouse, and she was 60+ too!

I, too, have goosebumps

New subscriber here. Your appreciation is so great to see. I'm a huge fan of both of the Wilson sisters. Nancy could be the lead singer in any band Ann wasn't a member of. I recommend you search youtube for "Heart Battle of Evermore 1995" when Led Zeppelin was inducted to the Hall of Fame. They "own" that song and play it completely acoustic. The blending of their voices gives me chills. It's a permanent tab in my browser.

Interested in what you may think of Dutch singer Willemijn Verkaik, (among other things, she played Elphaba in Wicked in Germany, The Netherlands, Broadway, and West End; singing the show in three different languages; many videos of her singing in all three in a single performance. Dutch seems like a brutal language to sing in.).

Flawless vocals, we are used to that from her............;)
