Heart - Even It Up (1980)

[widemagicman]

お願いやから、もう一度日本に来てぇ~！！

[Europe85]

This band is as good a Zeppelin!

[EddieAlda]

@Europe85 That is why they were known as Lil Zepp in their time.

[jsera7573]

i wonder if they ever had a foursome 0.o

[melmel075]

noone can touch Ann's voice -- such resonant and agile heart & soul!

[darrenable1]

commentator Mr. L, Ann and nancy and Sarah Palin are Talking About You so go on down and Even It Up!

[Cimikeleh]

I love this Rock N Roll band.

[schoolercat]

Is Heart in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame yet? If not, they should be.

[EddieAlda]

@schoolercat Agree 100% with you. As much as I love ABBA too, they dont deserve to in a rock hall of fame before Heart.

[TheHydraWomanRules]

Great song and video! I have had the pleasure of seeing Heart perform several times. They are so awesome words can't describe the vibe. Ann's voice wakes me up and sends a shiver down my spine and Nancy can jam with the best of them. Amazing talent!

[SherrLynnM]

Heartless they're not in the Rock&Roll Hall of FAme but Madonna is, that's totally wrong...Heart is the first ever to break out the vocals and guitar riffs in the male dominated music industry! what's wrong with ppl

[msgais]

Like Nancy used to say, "Its about the music stupid", and MTV ruined it.

[berre30]

c'mon annie !

[unclebob100]

I love sax and violins.

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #33 in Billboard. God bless!

[Delliana1718]

One of my fav Heart songs. The trumpet players are great :) Ann and Nancy are 'f' ing hot. It looks like Nance's playing fifteen different guitars. That's hilarious. Love, and peace and stuff.

[miketm61]

Yea baby, kick ASS Heart...What else could ya expect...

[heitz240]

Ann is a GREAT vocalist and Nancy gets nowhere near the credit she deserves as a guitarist. Ask Alice In Chains.

[DaveWollenberg]

Great soundalike to Barracuda and Heartless! Rock on!

[samboy1288]

i wouldnt say thats what it is, it just happens to be in the same key. it definitely is 100 percent its own song, its got horns for one thing, and its more straight ahead than heartless and not as heavy sounding as barracuda

[Veradoradehon]

Thanks for posting. My favourite female Rockers - and yes, Ann is the BEST VOCALIST in Rock and Roll (male or female)!!!  She's still goin' strong!!!

[dltacy]

WOW! Ann gives me chicken skin. Best Female vocalist THEN, NOW, AND EVER! On fire in this one and Smokin Hott!! My lifelong crush.

[AlexisGuitar94]

I love this clean strat sound in the nancy' guitar solo

[partgard1]

Awesome bass guitar. It ROCKS!

[SkullVodka]

I could have done without the horn section. Obviously Heart's best stuff is pre-1980. Dreamboat Annie is classic.

[puacino]

Rock on!

[kenmtb]

safe sax

[dmgcat]

I never realised even it up was produced as late as 1980. They still got it goin on though.

[dickbalaska]

I don't see the horn section on the stage.

... oh there they are hiding behind the door in the alley in their tuxes.

[patsupfan]

guess tower of power didnt wanna be in the vid so they just had the drummer, lead guitarist and bassist pretend to play the sax

[dlosterman]

Hell ya

[psychodad2563]

Ann has an amazing voice

[Zaphrod88]

IMO, she is the best female rock singer of all time, not that I can think of any males with a better set of chops. Her vocal nuances are amazing, and this song is a really great example.

[aerovox]

Freddie Mercury had a better set of chops.

Heart and Queen are my two favourite bands of all time.

[porcelaincougar]

Yes she is! Zaphrod88! couldn't agree with you more!

Now where is their Rock and Roll hall of fame??!!

So deserved, and long damned overdue!

If Ann doesn't start taking care, I fear she will be gone before this happens.

[Fl0Vid]

@Zaphrod88 Freddie Mercury?

[northie66]

@Zaphrod88 - Pat Benatar could give her a run for the money. I like them both. Not sure which is better though.

[TheFab19460]

@Zaphrod88 Escpecially PORK CHOPS.

Sorry, saw heart on the bad animals tour, she hit the stage, the crowd fell silent to what a total fat cow she let herself become.

Lose 50 pounds Anne, then maybe we'll be interested again.

[jacob0025]

@TheFab19460

You are fucking retarded. She is 60. I saw her play tonight and she blew the fucking roof off. Amazing voice! Beautiful women.

[TheFab19460]

@jacob0025 Yep, if you're into the “large and lovely” than Ann is your chick. All she wants to do is have lunch for two.

[Heartboy1031]

@TheFab19460 Shut the fuck up.

[geejae4]

I love this blues-style jam.

awesome!!!

[singstoo]

I like watching how their look changes from the 1976 recording of Heartless to this 1980 recording. Having been in junior high and high school during that time I remember doing the same thing -- straight shiny hair to overpermed glam hair -- gotta love it!!!!

[MitsoukoLady]

Ladies, Can we EVER tell yo u what you mean to us????

Don't change. You ARE PERFECTION the WAY YOU ARE!!!

Talent with NO RESTRAINT! 

Jm

[Cooleemee43]

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke big time. Imagine even considering putting Madonna in it, its laughable. Find 20 Madonna songs and put them up against 20 from Heart and amazing that the people that run that dump show their faces in public. There are too many great bands being bypassed for trash. Vintage Heart is as good as anything in rock history. Now the Eighties stuff they put out made me run for the hills.

[WoodRatGirl]

Now...not all the Eighties stuff they are bringing out is THAT bad.

Maybe you're just hearing the BAD stuff sweetheart. ;)

I do agree that Madonna doesn't deserve to be in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame though.

She should be in The Pop Hall of Fame.

[Cooleemee43]

Hey WoodRatGirl, lets just say lots of their 80's stuff just doesn't hold up to the test of time. If you watch interviews with the ladies of Heart today, even they say that they lost their way in those days. They tried to be what the record company wanted them to be instead of charting their own course like they had been. BTW, if you want to hear some great rock hard Heart check out 2004's Jupiters Darling, its on Utube and its a return to form for Heart, back to being a hard rock outfit again

[merman08]

Van Halen, deserved to get in, Metallica deserved to get in, they need to induct Priest and maiden, and Alice Cooper, as well as Heart before they put in the Chili Peppers on the ballad, and thier finally gonna put Kiss in, though I don't like Kiss but they deserve to get in. I do agree that the Rock and Roll hall of fame being a joke

[huskernation9]

damn heart isnt even in?...no way the chilli peppers can get in then

[merman08]

Chili Peppers didn't get in this year, Kiss didn't get in, Notable bands that got in this year, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Geneis, ABBA got in. FUCK YOU ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME

[Cooleemee43]

The pulled from the Bang A Gong feel from T Rex.

[ThePauliemac]

Heart should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame along with Pat Benetar and Joan Jett.How could Madonna have made it ahead of any of these girls,I mean its called the rock and roll hall of fame not pop music hall of fame.

[WoodRatGirl]

It's Benatar not Benetar ThePauliemac :P

[pandamotium]

Is it just me, or was Heart to blame for starting big hair?

[wakclips]

So sadd that in 30 years, today's 20 somethings won't have much to look back on. It won't be Chris Brown or the Rap Crap that's out now...

[arcadus]

i love this song

[clubkid29]

I agree----catchy though it may be, we won't be listening to Gwen Stefani and co. in 30 years as we do Heart.

[lstevens35]

i dont even listen to that shit now lol......always heartt.

[cowlouie]

I think Ann had the best female rock and roll voice ever. I love Linda Ronstadt, but don't consider her a true rocker. Wow, leave it to Nancy to make a sailor suit look sexy!

[Scatdiddy]

I remember when CBS Sports used this tune for their bumper tune that would transition from during NFL football games to commercials - if fact, those out there who are of age, you will recall from the late 70's early 80's, CBS loved using Heart tunes for their bumper music during games

[mediacritic]

WTF is Nancy wearing? Not sure what she's going for there. Fun video. Thanks for uploading.

[dreamzeppelinarcher]

I love how the guys with the saxaphones appear and disappear =D

I love this song and Heart. Heart is amazing.

[Scatdiddy]

Strap up your boots cuz we're gonna even it up!

[nrthdude1]

Well for women in rock I always thought that Linda Ronstadt was number 1, then Annie, but she's aclose second. Pat Benatar and Stevie Nicks and Tina were greats as well.

[newenglander1]

Go!  Annie....Guess you went to my head!!!....

[septip123]

"i know...it's only rock and roll, but i like it."

you can see where they got their inspiration.

[ladollyvita]

Awesome song, love those sexy horns.

[AnacondaTwelve]

One of the ass-kickingest songs of 1980.

[jerryw08]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO ANNIE GO.

[bebopPete]

the only thing I really hated about this time period was the frizzle-fried finger-in-the-lightsocket hairstyles.  OMG wut wuz everyone thinking? The only person with optimal rockstar hairstyle here is Howard Leese the rhythm guitarist.

[chrisfdny1]

Was he the guy who was dating ann,,,,then had a bad fight on the stage one night?

[Forestski]

Cheesy video -- great song. The guys playing the sax are drummer Mike Deroiser, guitarist Howard Leese and bass player Steve Fossen. On the recorded version the horns were played by Tower of Power.

[crazyasshonkeycat]

Ann and Nancy are the QUEENS of Rock N Roll!!!

[Haylie2610]

jUmM.. still wondering when i see this vid, why the heck arent they in hall of fame??

looooove Even it up... has this sort of THING that hookes you right away

Luv HeaRtTt... Ann has THE female voice of rock!

[NewMexicoSunset]

I would arugue Anne has the best voice in rock, period. I heard them last night. I've been to many r&r shows in my 43 years, but last night I think I heard the best voice in rock, period. I've heard David Lee Roth, Robert Plant, Brad Delphs, Ronnie James Dio, Bruce Dickinson, Sting, Steve Augeri, Joe Lynn Turner, ... I'm missing a bunch.

I'm talking pitch. Fullnes (i.e. the abilty to fill every nook and cranny of the hall). Passion.

[455Transam]

It was BRAD DELP.........

[godoffuerz]

I think that Don Henley has the best smooth and soothing voice in rock.

[slickskillet123]

whats with this video does not make one bit of sense!!!

[slickskillet123]

this ai'nt a girl band it is rock band.

[FrogVine]

@slickskillet123

U got that right!

[bozcro]

hey! where is mike fisher, the bands lead guitarist? oh i think this is when he became the bands sound man

[litledevel15]

dude ur so wrong first off his name was roger fisher and second he left the band in '78 when him and nancy broke up now he has his own band with steve fossen and mike deriose called cleverly bastards

[slickskillet123]

a 20yr old punk rock and roll historion.

[cocoabononohead]

Roger Fisher was the original guitarist. He had a relationship with Nancy Wilson.

Mike Fisher is Rogers brother and was Ann's first real romance, he was originally their first manager.

[slickskillet123]

R.E.M.=FAGGOTS

[litledevel15]

true that

[patsupfan]

i love how the saxophone players arent even playing in synch with the video and are just sorta walking around like blithering idiots

[jerryw08]

Most of their great songs were done with the same members .Roger Fisher, Mike Deroiser Howard Leese and Steve Fossen.Roger Fisher CO/ Wrote most of their big hits. When Heart was the Fisher /Wilson Band they were one of the best groups ever.

[litledevel15]

yea but it sucks how all the members left except for the wilson sisters but as soon as roger left them they pretty much went downhill and its a shame because heart didn't get the thanks they deserved and there also not even in the rock and roll hall of fame which also sucks

[Zylophila]

Thanks for the video as I have sang this song to sooo many guys!

Love the song and the group, I love it when they get more funky and bluessy!!!

[MeAndMyRC]

You know it!!

[WoodRatGirl]

The Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame isn't that great is it?

<3 Heart.

[julieswahn]

So cool how at 01.11 the video shows Nancy with three different guitars really quickly (edited in). Almost didn't notice it.

[jgeston11]

i rocked to thi in high school.brings back great fuckin' memories.

[jgeston11]

they are rock pioneers that just happen to be chicks.underated.

[jgeston11]

they are probably gonna put madonna in if they havn't already done it.and that would be a SIN!!!!

[nrthdude1]

It's 2007 and Heart, Linda Ronstadt and Pat Benatar are still not in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.

[DastardlyMatt]

And somehow, Madonna, Bob Seger and REM are. Could we trade?

[litledevel15]

I hate REM

[DastardlyMatt]

Lots of people hate REM. How'd they get in before Heart?

[kosmicseer]

How they could go from this greatness, to the later shit--is a mystery to me...

[kamasutraoil]

I totally agree. They rocked early then got too commercial.

[JohnGee1977]

It's hard to maintain continuity when you have 22 band members in 20 years,even if you ARE Nancy and Ann Wilson...

[Kierstie01]

SIC!

[jerryw08]

Mike Deorsier is the one of the best drummers in the world. Ann is def the best singer.

[XXJRCXX]

Ann has the absolute best female voice in rock and yes that sure is Nancy ripping that solo.... ;>)

[bigsweatypenis]

That's Nancy Wilson ripping that solo right?

[xensboy]

why doesn't heart appear on magazine covers? a great and underrated band that is overlooked, when mediochre indie bands appear everywhere. ann is so pretty here! very talented rocking group

[karmatoga]

Bebe le strange c'est vrai!

[scottygulik]

hey there patrick missin ya bro

[behindblueeyes39]

I saw them do this one in concert...Nashville, TN. As usual, they rocked the house down! Thanks for the upload :)

[KarenM526]

Oh my gosh, I wore this record out! I'm sure I drove my parents crazy, listening to this EVERY DAY! Thanks for the memories.

[Boheamie]

ann is soo bella! xxx and nancy.

[jerryw08]

Ann you are the best singer ever.

[GMCDAN]

Great song...one of their best for sure

[lookherebub]

I guess no more roger. They added tower of power to fill the gap.

[SolarTiger]

the "Barracuda" of that album...so to speak...

[redcurryfan]

thanks for the clip -brilliant
