Watched them do this last night in Auckland supporting Def Leppard and it was brilliant. Seen Zep do it as well in the 1970s and Heart comes a very close second.
The Wilson sisters are the only women in rock who really capture the spirit of Zeppelin songs when they cover them. They're way better than those all-girl Zeppelin tribute bands whose lead singers try too hard to be sexy and don't have the power and emotion of Ann's voice. Also, Ann's voice is eerily similar to Robert Plant's.
OK, I love Heart as much as loveheart, but only critique, spend a few bucks and go directly from the video audio jacks and don't tape from the TV, the resoltuion lines really suck Bro!
@xbounds I have never recorded Heart in my life,everything here was either purchased or given to me.I just post them for people to enjoy.I hope to repost a few that need to be ripped better.So many songs..so little time.Cheers
Heart just nail Led Zepplin. man, as much I love the rest of the group, I would love to see Ann Wilson tour with Page and John Paul Jones and Bonham's Son on Drums or Matt Cammeron from Soundgarden and just blow up some serious tributes to Zepplin and Sabbath.
man this woman is singing that hard edeged blues rock with all her soul man, ...unbelievable. Janis Joplin would cry if she heard this girl.
@lovesheart Big thanx for the headsup on the Bonham tour's tribute to Zepplin. I live in Honolulu and probably would have never heard about it. Back to Ann Wilson. man, I know she's the frontman for Heart, but to see her with different line ups would be a thrill. a good example is Jeff Beck's new band with that Australian girl playing bass and Coaiuta on drums. It's so kick ass it reminds me of Ann Wilson.
Kick Ass! does my "heart" good to see the old school still rocking brains out
2 great lead players as well...solos and riffs on Magic Man were Magic....perfect for that song...brought life to the lyrics....as if she was makin love to the guitar
Year! Heart is the great Zepp cover band and other than Heart, Van Halen (or I should say "Mammoth" ) did great Zepp covers. Well, Anne can hit the high note just like Plant used to hit it. I love Heart's version more than the Stevie Nicks version.
Heart is so friggen amazing - as much, if not more, now then they were back when they started!! THey have indeed improved with age!! Ann can SING and Nancy can truly jam on that guitar!! Wow!
Heart is amazing! I am the world's biggest Zeppelin fan and Heart is one of the few bands that can cover Zeppelin and not come off as a poor imitation. If Heart doesn't get into the RR Hall of Fame, then something is terriblly wrong there.
For the longest time, Itunes did not carry Led Zeppelin tunes. Thank God for Heart. I wonder how Robert Plant and the rest of Led Zep. felt about Heart's covers of their songs?
@JFinSD2: Not sure what Zep thinks about the cover songs, but when Plant was asked what the greatest Zep song of all time was, he answered "Barracuda". He said it's the song he'd tried to write his whole life. Safe to assume Plant is a fan.
Back in the 80's I saw Heart 3 times the last one at Shoreline Amp in Redwod City Ca, they sang Rock and Rock and Ted Nugent was on the guitar. I would love to see them again they are an amazing live band.
Love Anne and Heart and agree with all the superlatives. But imagine sitting in that "Song Remains the Same" concert and getting an opening like Zep gave- awesome piece of rock history
Yes. It's called "Reveille." Here, it's played as harmonics, which means that each string is damped with a free finger at exactly one-half (or one-third, etc.) of its effective length as it's being plucked. Very technically challenging to do at this speed during a live performance.
The only version of Rock & Roll that comes even remotely close to as entertaining as Led Zeppelin's. What vocals on Ann Wilson. AMAZING. Greatest female rock vocalist of all time. Sorry, Janis.
i think it's a close call .. Janis Joplin was apparently (from what i read) Robert Plant's inspirations.. and Ann Wilson clearly like Led Zeppelin.. so i'd have to go with Janis on this one.. However They are both amazing singers!!
I read somewhere that someone said Heart could make a very good living as a Led Zepplin tribut band and its true! Ann can sing some of the Led Zep songs that Robert can no longer sing. I saw Page/Plant in '94. When they did Black Dog, there were parts of it Robert didnt even sing. Heart is still going strong and still touring. Go see them while you can.
the westfalenhalle is a great location for concerts of any kind of music specially rock music is awesome to enjoy in this great venue.dortmund is always worth it for bands to come and rock the audience is always great and fantastic and loud i compare the westfalenhalle sometimes with the Madison square garden in NYC
Howard L. gave the band Heart a Special Chemistry during his reign as Lead Guitar.... He had class and talent!! Used to love it when he would come out on stage and play a song with his "Mini" Les Paul.....
ok first of all its called a les paul jr. and second of all he wasnt the lead guitarist roger fisher was their lead guitarist howie was the 2nd lead and rhythm him and nancy would switch roles a lot and he and nancy would switch off being the keyboardist too and if you dont believe me look it up
that drummer is bad ass, so is Ann !
