[108vasudeva]

[lovesheart]

@108vasudeva She managed to stay down to earth as far as can tell too.

Grrrreat!

[TacomaPaul]

It's tuned to a G-D-A-E ? That's exactly "backwards" from the lowest strings on a guitar !

So if I played it "left-handed" it would be ....well...heheh it would ! ;-)

I had no idea.

[skylilly1]

I'm in a trance watching this...love alive....nancy playing the mandolyn. I still have my music books from dreamboat annie, dog and butterfly and magazine...I swear my eyes are bulging watching this!! Thanks for posting this, you made my day!!!

[PeopleSmoks]

I think Nancy's talent was over looked a bit, especially in the early years because she seemed to work more subtly and in the shadow of Ann, and add to that the the work of Roger Fisher on mostly lead guitar... But, when you stop and watch Nancy play, you see a real talent at work!

[lovesheart]

@PeopleSmoks Yeah,that"s sounds right,I watch her giving it all @ Cali jam on acoustic,have to wonder how much was coming through in the mix at this show?

[samansun]

@lovesheart

Well I still believe that the Wilsons nail it down better than anybody else. They live off the melody.

[nootaramus]

her technique is really better than page's-but he came up with the riff didn he?

[lovesheart]

@nootaramus I believe so. : )

[samansun]

@lovesheart

The mandolin part is John Paul Jones' on that number.

[Nortatem]

@samansun Correction: Jimmy Played it on Battle, John played it on Goin' to California.

nice teach

[mediacritic]

Nancy is so great. She loves her work. Still rockin'.

[lovesheart]

@mediacritic I agree,you can tell the passion is alive and kickin still!

[tomcaat1]

@ledzeprebecca can't really make it out, but i bet your takamine guitar dealer would know. keep in mind nancy's guitar is specially custom made for her, but the takamine's do play very nicely, and seem well made. GET A SOLID TOP acoustic, whatever you do!

[ledzeprebecca]

What model of Takamine does she use in this video? I'd love to buy one just like it.

[lovesheart]

@ledzeprebecca Not certain???Maybe someone really guitar wise will pipe up!

[climsterable]

@lovesheart That's a Gibson or Epiphone mandolin, notice the bell shape on the headstock.

[lovesheart]

@climsterable Thanks,I think Ledzeprebecca was asking about the 6 string acoustic,I think?

[silverstox]

@ledzeprebecca You won't be able to find that model Takamine in any store, at any price. That model was made in the 1970's or early 80's and is one of the first guitars that Nancy played. Possible the 1st guitar she owned and still has. Takamine made great guitars during the 1970's-80's and after that they went to crap. If the sisters ever get to NJ, I'll ask Nancy if that guitar is the 1st one she owned/played. Take a look at the wear on it. This is from her video, I have it.

This is so cool. I love listening to Nancy play mandolin, it's got a cool sound. And I think she could totally sing Love Alive if she wanted to. :)

[SupernalOne]

takes a good musician to cover a Led Zep song

The nicest Americans are often Canadian! Nancy is such an admirable person, as well as a lovely woman -

[alvastarr1]

I love the way Nancy talks. She's so cool.

[RockFrank76]

Great video! I love Nancy.

[flyman]

right on...many thanks for this vid............very helpful with what we do.

[welldread]

Is there more footage from where this clip came from?

[lovesheart]

There is two songs posted on this channel from the dvd.And the link to buy it is up top.

[PsychLion]

She is so intelligent, beside being beautiful. Cameron Crow got lucky. :)

[Hawk21366]

@PsychLion Yes he did. She kicks a**.

[lovesheart]

Yeah me too,this is a fun vid if you want to spend a little time with Nance,it was given to me by Bob B,a friend of Nance and Heart from the early formation years here in Vancouver.Bob is such an amazing player,I see why he and Roger are friends to this day!
