Heart - Rock & Roll (live 1978)

[wsox1998]

Ann is BEAUTIFUL! Doesn't matter if she's big or small, she's made something of herself and created one of the greatest bands of all time. So to all of you haters, go fuck yourselves.

[lovesheart]

@wsox1998 She really is,and what a lot of work to gain and sustain this kind of stature in this business. Cheers from Van B.C. : )

[Logoned]

@lovesheart I can say I like Ann more than I like Heart

[alexmonger11]

@wsox1998 right on !!

[Logoned]

@wsox1998 Oh man I love Ann big small and in between, and for all you size zero nibbling men, there is nothing like a big beautiful woman, Mmmm mmm mmm

[laurieself]

I always thought DeRosier was Heart's biggest loss...

[shylahs1]

Heart is the only band I've ever heard do a good job on any Zeppelin song,period.

[widemagicman]

Ann is burning tonight ! I'm loving Heart !!

[litledevel15]

I would love to hear them cover Moby Dick, with their original line up of course.

[louanneship]

OMG--Ann's a capella solo at 4:00 is totally awesome--it really shows her vocal range. I still have chills!

[morleygrey]

Oh Yeah!!!!

Ann should change her name to Janis Plant.

[RocknRollClown5150]

This all right but I like Van Halens cover better.

[g9rocks64]

With all the many Zep covers I've heard from the Wilson sisters, she IS the female Robert Plant!

[plantosa1]

FUCK MTV YOU TUBE IS THE BEST MUSIC TV EVER!!!

[gupsnot]

@plantosa1

MTV has music? Could'a fooled me....

[Simon4642]

@plantosa1 god i hate to say it but the years they played videos nothing came close now we have this and i actually at one time put my finger in a piece of plastic turned dialed and made a phone call whats next

[jerryboybading14]

i love ann wilson. 70's =)

[ScottT248]

Heart is one of very few bands that can cover Led Zeppelin and sound just as good. Great performance and Ann's vocals are amazing. She is and always will be a great singer. It is time to get Heart into the rock and Roll Hall of Fame and I hope someday they are inducted. They deserve it.

[Omniculler]

This is why Ann is the greatest singer of all time.

[wolverine84]

Ann's a cross between Plant & Janis Joplin on this one!

[shearn666]

this is the Heart I fell in love with back in the 70s

roger fischer cutting loose

Anne Wilson sexy, skinny & screaming - fantastic

[IconVanity]

Absolutely my favorite version of Heart's remake of this song. Especially the way Ann just rips more on the ending part of the song than she has ever when doing this song.

[beatlefan64]

Michael was an amazing drummer, Is he still playing? I know that he was in a band called Alias back in the early 90's

[lovesheart]

@beatlefan64 not sure,he hasn't been very active that i know of,the original men of heart are getting together for a gig and i didn't see michaels name on the poster.

[lovesheart]

@beatlefan64 Correction Michael was there!

[beatlefan64]

@lovesheart

Excellent! : )



[A7Xchick191]

@beatlefan64 he's in a band with roger and steve now.

[beatlefan64]

@A7Xchick191

Thank you for the info! :)

[tnhl77]

they might shoot me for this but I think her cover is actually better then the original! rock on heart!!!!

[kttunstallator]

@tnhl77

Kinda have to agree :x Ladies and Gents, may I present to you,

the female Led Zeppelin!

[Wiggimus]

Damn! Shows that the best Led Zepplin covers are done by female lead singers!

[VinBad007]

Love Michael DeRosier on drums. As a drummer myself, I always thought he never got the kudos he deserved. This guy's power and ability to drive any band ranks right up there with the best of all time. Solid as a knockout punch to the face!

[lovesheart]

I agree,too bad they couldn't last,imagine the music!!

[beatlefan64]

Hi VinBad007

I'm also a drummer and couldn't agree more, Michael was amazing. Any idea what he's doing now? is he still playing? I know he was in the band called Alias back in the early 90's (if my memory is correct) they had a hit with a song called "More Than Words Can Say" and that was it!

[litledevel15]

@VinBad007

FINALLY I've been thinking the same way, and call me crazy but I think DeRosier was a few top drummers that could cover Bonham well, just my opinion lol

[gazzaboy2531977]

fuckin ace guitar solo better than the original man .

[CSSpitfire]

@gazzaboy2531977 better than original? you mean, better then Led Zeppelin? I like Heart, but nobody can play LZ songs better than Led Zeppelin.

[flyman]

fischer freakin' slays here.....nice score

[lovesheart]

I agree flyman!

[MrJerryw08]

Roger Fisher ,WOW.

[Ayte66]

this is a good cover man i like the guitar solo, ROCK & ROLL MAN!!!!

[angieslindmusic]

OK- didn't Heart perform as "White Heart"--a Zeppelin tribute band--in Vancouver, BC Canada, prior to the release of Dreamboat Annie album, recorded in Vancouver--which featured Vancouver studio drummer Kat Hendricks and on bass Rene Wurst?? Not sure of the story resulting in the studio rhythm section but fantastic album!!!!!

[prettyboysing]

@angieslindmusic They did go by White Heart at one point and Kat Hendricks was their drummer. As a matter of fact, Kat plays on several of the songs on Dreamboat Annie. DeRosier wasn't the official drummer until after the album was finished. I don't think they were ever officially a Zep tribute band, but did play quite a bit of LZ and was definitely influenced.

[angieslindmusic]

Cool - thanks!!

[hundrum75]

Oh, my God! My heart! What a singing voice! Ann is simply and solely grandiouse!!! Thanks your sharing!

[cindyinnew]

If you know anything about Heart, it's that they absolutely idolized Zeppelin. Ann is one of the few artists who can sing a Zeppelin song and not sound like they are trying too hard. She can actually do it justice. And Zeppelin overrated and Plant not a good singer? Give me a damn break - please. They are the best.

[TeaTrick]

I agree. I always felt Ann was a little gun shy in her early covers of Zep even though Robert Plant always encouraged her to let it all out. It wasn't until Jon's death that Heart's RnR cover really took shape. See Chipi64's 1980 and lovesheart's Dortmund1982. Nancy discards the keyboards for her kickass rhythm guitar, Howard Leese "reveilles" the break, and Ann blasts down the Berlin Wall with those enormous pipes. I love Zep, I really do, but live ... it's gotta be Heart. It just does.

[GaryProVox]

Amen Cindy- you said it!

[waytoomany10]

@cindyinnew sorry plant sounds great on studio albums..but absolutly terrible live(this coming from a huge zeppelin fan)

[ledzep1234567]

ann and nancy with page and plant photos can be found all over.

as Heart has done a number of Zep covers

[PageandPlant4Life]

Zeppelin didn't need a rhythm guitarist. John Pauls bass covered a lot of ground, not to mention Bonzo played great fills to keep things interesting.

[lovesheart]

True,however it would have sounded even better if they had one to do the rhythm parts Jimmy did on the albums.

[kuntcz]

I wonder if they've ever met.

[lovesheart]

Yes I have a shot of Ann and Nance with Plant.

[ChArLiEtheuniiicorn]

i'd like to see !!!!!!!!!!

[BSlash24]

orlock20, watch the 1970 Royal Albert hall and tell me Zep wasn't "hot". very hot.

[kimidani186couzin]

You might notice that Heart performs numbers created by Led Zeppelin, not the other way around. Zeppelin was the premire live concert band. I like Heart too, but there's a reason why Ann Wilson likes to sing Zeppelin.

[lovesheart]

Zeppelin is one of my fav's,I sing 5 in my pub duo,Robert Plant is admittedly Ann's fav male singer,that said I have to wonder if Zep lived up to their recordings when they played live?

[BloozeDaddy76]

I think Zeppelin is overrated, and Robert Plant screams better than he sings.

[ocsound1]

Zeppelin was groundbreaking and the first to really get big with their sound. Robert's voice is a great instrument though.. he abused it, but it still hanging at 60, the O2 concert in London proved he still has it, Ann Wilson destroys on this cover, her improv is wicked,

[crvetteguy]

u have a good point

still the concert i saw Zep phoned it in

[crvetteguy]

Seen Zep live Heart is better

[lovesheart]

Zep should have hired a rhythm guitarist,cause when Jimmy solo'd the band sounded empty!

[tomitstube]

lol, i think ann is channeling some janis joplin on the breakdown. sounds great. nancy on piano. i love the way ann says waaashington at the end.

[JimmyPageTheGod]

The guitarist is good !

[hameme66]

is very good and easy to find any video of Led zppellin than a "Starway to heaven" with God on the guitar, the year of the video I do not recall, but if someone has it please upload it because it not only saw once.

[MDY64]

there is a killer version of this live on Heart's Greatest HIts Live CD. Ann just wails and howls like you've never heard her, her vocals are stellar.

[Flunder]

damn man? thats a great cover! never heard Heart do this. thanks.

[bearmare]

I think the short drum solo kind of killed the closing of this song. Bonham's solo was hard and fast; this one was kind of halting.

[litledevel15]

yea not really Mike Deroiser was the only drummer that came close to bonham

[bsrnr6]

we all love our heroes!and yes john could compete today in this market!just like randy and others that had an untimely death!music must go on....BUT THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME! HAIL HAIL ROCK N ROLL!

[gibsongold1970]

true.i like strats when they scream,but

they lack the punch that a gibson delivers.

nothing like the 59 model thru marshall.

[gibsongold1970]

rock nroll played on a strat sounds weak.

i love ann's voice she always rock's out

hard!!!

[lovesheart]

True Gibson person eh?

[guitarlawyer75]

I'd really like to see Ann Wilson playing with Jimi Page some old Zep's tunes. That would be amazing...

[thnelement]

Doesn't sound like much of a crowd. lol jk. Rock on HEART!

[ohjtbehaaave]

Nice Nigel Tufnel on lead guitar. amp goes to 11 of course.

[drumlinefreak13]

drummer does a good job at the solo

[suzylux]

Fuck I wanna be at this show.

[Anthaleus]

Its funny because Led Zeppelin and Heart became good friends :). Ann often hung out with the band. Both liked each others styles. Both got heavy at times and both had good live acts. Both fed off each other at one point or the other. They covered Led Zeppelin. Well Led Zeppelin also did a song by Heart... Its heavy, sounds like a song they once did.. Maybe starts with BAR...? :).

[bodizone1]

there has never been a doubt, heart was only praising ledzep here. Anne and Nancy can rock with the best, even after 30+ years. Bless you, heart women.!!!

[MORGAN999]

Ann and Nancy have always been very open about being huge fans of Led Zepplin... there is no need to compare the two bands. Heart still would have had all there huge hits even if they never covered a Led Zep song... Ann was definitely influenced by Plant's vocal style, but listen to the PIPES on this girl! She is so much more than another singer covering Zepplin! There are very few vocalists who can even stand in the same room with her!

[rafel6a]

There would be no Heart if there wasnt a Led Zepplin so dont compare.

[1Demonika]

wow que voz, la unika que podria reemplazar dignamente a Robert Plant...

[HeyGettaClue]

Thanks for the memory -- Saw this live about the same time. After going through most of their material, they came out for their second encore and played Rock and Roll. Clear and hard driving -- great!

[lostintranslation901]

Ann just has the voice of an angel. As far as I'm concerned, the best rock vocalist ever, and for sure the most underrated. Love her!

[OcalaMusician]

HELL YEAH!!

[Veradoradehon]

Ann can outsing Plant anytime, anywhere.

What an ispiration for female rockers. Thanks Ann!!!

[Jannerwold]

I agree with Icon...it happens to the best of them. She was the only one I ever knew to come close to Plant's vocals!!

[litledevel15]

Roger was just as good as jimmy page because he can cover any of there songs too

[OcalaMusician]

Is anyone keeping in mind that Roger and Jimmy Page are only 7-8 years apart in age? As far as playing live Roger is better because he plays cleaner, but Page will always be better for the simple fact that Page thought all the stuff up in the first place for Roger to copy and put his twist to it. Don't forget all the Mandolin, alternate tunings that BOTH Roger and Nancy used in the early days. Does anyone think there is ANY drummer past or present that sounds more like Bonham than Derosier?

[litledevel15]

finally someone who speaks the truth!!!!! I have been basically saying the exact same thing to alot ppl and they always rip on me saying "dude page is god no one is as good as him" um hello roger is the only person who could cover pages style!! and derosier in my opinion is definitely up to par with bonhams drumming style, and people say heart sucks? definitely not

[tomitstube]

i agree roger fisher needs some respect, this lead is good yes, but if you listen to it a couple times, it ain't all that clean, there are some flubs, he also tries to do too much in spots. and the amp noise after the drum solo... minor stuff, but a guitarist knows... compared to jimmy, dude, page is on another level.

[orlock20]

This is a live version. Led Zepplin live wasn't that hot. Watch The Song Remains the Same. Led Zepplin was defently a studio band.

[RRJacksonV03]

Thats a pretty bold statement man. I mean, you didnt' even spell Led "Zeppelin" correctly, I think you need to do some research.

[Goddafodda]

PARTY!!!

[IconVanity]

Been a Heart fan for decades now. I wish the constant touring through out the years didn't cause Ann's vocals to get so raspy as it is today. This video shows Ann's voice as its best. Strong, clear and high.

[TexasRokker]

Led Zep = Most overrated band of all time.

Page = Most overrated guitarist of all time.

John Paul Jones was the under-appreciated guy in Zep.

Heart's version of "Rock and Roll" on their original GH/Live album blows away the original. It was, by the way, included on the album as a tribute to Bonham.

[goflames99]

dude led zeppelin is hte best band ever, no comparison

[Benthegreats]

Led Zeppelin wasn't overrated they just wrote variaties of music wich was really good,

Jimmy page is the best guitarist in the world,

and yes John Paul Jones was underrated.

[Ulccinen]

true .)

[wrsawy]

Pretty easy to say Heart was the better band when they are the one copying the original.

Heart was very good. Zep was great.

You just like them because they are chicks and stuff. LOL

[heirloomtomatoella]

how many instruments do each of the wilson sisters play? ann: guitar, flute, drums, bass, and keyboard -- nancy: guitar, bass, piano, mandolin, dobro, harmonica, lap steel, banjo -- and oh yeah, they both have amazing voices.....and neither of them took lessons for any of it! they are entirely ear trained. um, prodigies. hello.

[litledevel15]

yet some ppl said they sucked

[plouuvfra]

nice cover but i prefer them to do their own songs.

[litledevel15]

they could cover any zeppelin song and it would still sound good i mean listen to battle evermore from them black dog and stairway they all sound amazing especially battle of evermore and stairway

[funnyhaha07]

Michael Derossier was exiting the wrong side of the stage and they made him turn and go off with the others.....lol

[Haylie2610]

jumM... for me, there's a tie... cuz you know , they're like Robert plant himself said... " the led zep female version"

love the fact that ann and robert's voice are a little bit alike... just my oppinion though!

[stwjb02]

i really doubt heart was the better band between them and led zeppelin, i really doubt zeppelin would ever cover barracuda, heart covers just about all of zeppelins discography(an exaggeration before someone flips out and goes "they only covered 6 songs!")

not saying hearts bad but they are not better than led zeppelin

[litledevel15]

yea zep could cover barracuda and songs like that but they cant cover dreamboat annie nada one crazy on you because of nancy's intro and even sing child sing so heart was definitely the better band between zeppelin because they could cover there songs easliy and make the sound al if exactly alike listen to the cover of battle of evermore and compare to zeppelins trust me it sounds better

[kewl2006]

that's impossible! the original is always better than the cover, in any situation. obviously your opinion is completely biased.

[juggalotim]

not always true...

Tears for fears-Mad world

covered by

Gary Jules...Jules' version is loads better

[golyg]

I'm 46. I saw Heart and LedZepplin live in my youth. TRUST me. Heart was the better band.

Especially live. No contest.

[thequoon]

I am 48 and I can say "ditto". Of course, those were the days that Jimmy was a full blown heroin addict...

[funnyhaha07]

I could watch and listen to this over and over and over and I do. Thanks lovesheart for sharing!

[dreamboatannie101]

damn! roger can rock that guitar! and check out nancy on them keyboards! bitchin! all of them!

[bobsterdrum]

pagey once said in an interview on q magazine that the only "outside" version of rock 'n'roll that he could "stomache" was from that american band from seattle ....ps. that desroiser guy is pretty good , and his drum sound is pretty damn close to bonzo's...speaking as a drummer myself!!

Cheers!

[yur1944]

Ann Wilson: la mejor cantante de rock de la hstoria.

[IconVanity]

I wish I could've attended all of Heart's concerts, especially during the 70-80s. You just know Ann always sang each songs differently each night.

[iknix11]

wow, thnx Lovesheart for sharing...

[levm0308]

this the best not-zeppelin version of rock and roll

heart fucking rocks

[TheRippper]

Howard RULES!!!!!!!!!!!

[roosternj]

Yes Tux...Zep flows through both Deroiser and Leese..unless Your Heart to even attempt this song You should be shot...

[lovesheart]

I agree Tuxedo,Mr Deroiser is damm close to Mr Bonham,obviously one of "his Hero's"!

[TuXedoJunXion]

Whoa!!! What a rendition. Superb!
