Heart - Dreamboat Annie (Live on TV - 1976)

[PaganKitty1]

I don't care where your from, what walk of life you are or what musical preferences you have, NO ONE can tell me when they hear these sisters that the hair doesn't stand up on the backs of their necks! If they do, then they are plain flat out lying! Ann and Nancy were rockin chicks then and they STILL are now! Point...blank...period!!!! LOVE YOU ANN AND NANCY!!! #1 Heart fan-but broke as a joke or i'd follow them all over the country!! =^_^= PK

[Kaylina1988]

Tegan and Sara ain't got nuthin on this!

[balboaboats]

I'm a guy but this song and Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez always make me tear up whether in private or public. WTF happened to the music scene? Only gangsters, whores and skinny untalented brats nowadays.

[YYZDRUMR]

One of the best pieces of music both musically and vocally. In my opinion!

[PaganKitty1]

I just want to know since when has it become mandatory for a woman to be five ten and 120 pounds. For one, not every woman is that tall (I'm so not! lol) and not every woman can eat anything and never gain (I smell food and gain weight!) So it's unrealistic to expect us to look like fashion models every moment. Where would the guys be if we were that shallow too?! I have a fluffy, fuzzy teddy bear but what if everyone wanted..say..Patrick Dempsey. Good luck there guys! HEART RULES!!! =^_^= PK

[Thmssvrn1]

it is a toss up on which was the better instrument nancy's guitar or ann's voice. They bothrock!!

[gnostictray]

whose the loser with the thumbs down...

[Truckerfun01]

I saw Heart on Dancin With The Stars a few weeks ago, & it dawned on me that Ann is 60 years old......but her voice is just as clear, powerful, & perfect as it was 30 years ago!!! Ann & Nancy both looked & sounded GEAT!! I saw Heart twice on each of their tours between 1983(Heart album) & 1990(Brigade) & with the show they put on, I coulda cared less if Ann had gained a few pounds....as we ALL do over time!! Let's see where Lady GaGa & Katy Perry are after 30 years.!! Heart is still ROCKIN!!

[visaman]

@Truckerfun01 Yes, Ann Wilson is 61, when this show was recorded she was 26, I was 11, now I'm 47!

[sixtiesforever1966]

Short and Sweet ! You can just feel the "Heart" that they put into everything they sing. No one can compare with Ann & Nancy, an octave above heaven. Love You. Sir David

[whangpanger]

I've played "chucks licks" 'since the early 70's. However you look at them now, (heart), there is no female singer with the octave range annie has/had. And now, how could you resist hearing a heart tune? I still love to switch to acoustic, and do, "love alive'.

[celticwitan]

I love Ann, and Nancy... Great heartys, spirits and music....There is no little tart that plays music today who could ever be better, especially those R and B bands. Ad Rap? That isnt even singing.

[ghm389]

She has a beautiful voice...

[yerded1]

I waited overnight in a snow storm for Heart tickets in the 80's.

I got 9th row center stage.

Magic

[PaganKitty1]

@JeffHaines63 Too many to name *lol* pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Hendrix, Chicago, Within Temptation, Susan Tedeschi, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Fleetwood Mac (esp. albatross) and the list keeps going on and on. *lol* I'm a singer and a writer so music has always been a big part of me. I try to be open minded- but there are things that just push the wrong buttons at times. I usually regret running my mouth after it's done, but then it's too late isn't it. *chuckles* A true redhead I am! Blessed Be =^_^= PK

[melmel075]

a cut above the rest: Ann Wilson

[Veradoradehon]

Ahh, memories....

[Blewline67]

A magical group, in a magical time of RnR. So many people will never no what it was like in the 70s. I replay those days everyday in my head,and thats what keeps me smiling!!!

[Jackle61]

This was my first concert ever, back in the mid-seventies. We weren't old enough to drive so we "borrowed" a car to get there. Don't worry, we put the car back.(minus a little gas and smelling like beer and smokables)

[SkullVodka]

I was going to say that this was not live, but about 30 seconds in I realized it was. Damn they sounded tight.

[gf1001]

BRILLIANT I love this its so melodic great voice many thanks.

[mysticgeek]

Warm wind caress her

Her lover it seems

Oh, Annie

Dreamboat Annie my little ship of dreams

originally

White Heart 2 HEART

[1bichon1]

Grace slick is my favorite. But Anne reminds me of her.

[jkoncz]

maybe a larger version?

[bigdatut]

Heart - truly rock royalty.

[svelteandblue]

See that dynamic of Ann and Nancy within the first 10 seconds?

[araorun1127]

i see it in almost every performance i've watched with any decent quality to it. it's amazing.

Ann Wilson = Dreamboat Annie?

[svelteandblue]

I'm not sure if she means it literally, but I think it's kind of about her and Nancy.

And what I meant about the dynamic between Ann and Nancy is that Nancy always seems to look to Ann for approval/guidance--she looks up to her. And Ann so often just kind of looks stand-offish, doesn't look at her, etc. Not in a bad way, it's just how she is. You see this alot in interviews with them too.

[jkoncz]

yep you got that right my friend

[jajvick]

can you sing and play any better than this??? God given talent is what it is...

[PaganKitty1]

This june!!! OMG!!! Tickets to this concert would be the BEST birthday gift for me EVER!! Even better than seeing Baby James (James Taylor) way back in 93!! DAMN!! I gotta get tickets...Ann and Nancy are like HEROES to singers like me and to see them in person would be a lifetime DREAM!! Ok YouTube Heart fans...if you can make it to Columbus Ohio this june...SEE YA THERE!!

[republicansrule]

Heart will be in Columbus, Ohio this June 2009 ! I will be there!

[PutSome5tankOnIt]

Ann Wilson is the sexiest bitch in rock and roll. Hands down. I'm not so sweet on Nancy.

Song writing is above average, but it's the presentation and performance that drives it home. Ann has a set of pipes that likely inspired more woodies than Britney. Lindsay and Miley combined.

[wwwgotristancom]

not any more but i agree she was fuckin hot back in the day! if there was a fight between Ann Wilson, Joan Jett, Janis Joplin, and Joni Mitchell Ann Wilson would kick some major ass

[TheWhalerfan]

@wwwgotristancom Agreed. Joan would be gasping for air from smoking too much, janis would be staggering drunk, and Joni would be too stoned to do anything. Ann would put a beat down on those ladies!

[LightfootRulz]

Rock ON Angels!!!!

[PaganKitty1]

Lemme tell ya something...just because she is big now does NOT negate the fact that she split the music scene WIDE THE FUCK OPEN and she STILL WAILS!!! You don't like the way she looks now, then go listen to anorexic singers like Madonna , whos voice just can't EVER compare!, or see if you can get a date with Lindsay Lohan (can ya say bark burns from screwin a twig?) ya dumb fuck. There is not now nor will there EVER be sisters like these two, can you say taste and TALENT, I sure as hell can!

[SupernalOne]

as I heard it, the weight gain wasn't her fault, but a dirty trick played on her by some genetic tendency she picked up from a maternal ancestor - I mean, it really fucked up her head for a long while - she has the money, why wouldn't she get a personal trainer and just lose the weight? It's not an eating disorder, it's (sadly) natural -- talk about your rocknroll survivors, imagine going from bombshell babe to eskimo mama at the prime of your life - she just lives with it, but still performs-

[PaganKitty1]

Ok, to be honest I don't care about how big she is..her voice is STILL just as uncanny now as it was then. Heavy people can still wail with the skinny lil twigs. yeah it might have been horrid for her, but she stills sings with the same amount of love and passion that she had then. THAT'S what metters to me.

[ikahari]

i couldnt agree more and to be honest the more she ages the she looks like her younger self it kinda weird lol

[zoznack]

Yes, these weight problems are always "natural" and certainly not the responsibility of the individual carrying all the weight.

Anyway, she WAS at one time hotter than most chicks and could really belt, so it really shouldn't be a big deal.

[nerdflanders8710]

I totally agree. madonna cant sing for shit and doesn't deserve her sucess.

Ann used to look all slim and gorgeous and combined with that gorgeous voice she was a walking orgasm.

[wwwgotristancom]

PREACH IT BROTHER

[MiGrm9]

@PaganKitty1 Thank you for setting the record straight on this. People forget how much Ann and Nancy have influenced music. Ann is still beautiful and sings as well as she ever did.

[ahitler1000]

@PaganKitty1 never said better, I love then and now the wilson sisters

[ahitler1000]

@PaganKitty1 I, d love her regardless of the few pounds , she is and always will be a goddess to me as well her sister

[PaganKitty1]

@ahitler1000 They are just as awesome now as they were then, just a little older and a little wiser as well as a few pounds heavier. heavy chicks can still rock too!! =^_^= PK

[sixtiesforever1966]

@PaganKitty1 You are so right, there is no competition with todays singers and Heart.

The sisters sing from their heart and give it their all. Heart Forever. Sir David

[PaganKitty1]

@sixtiesforever1966 It seems that the heart of music has become money instead passion as of late and that just makes me sad. If you aren't skinny and fake looking, then you aren't appreciated at all. Sad state of things.

[bradlste]

@PaganKitty1

Rock on! I totally agree!

[alexmonger11]

@PaganKitty1 right on ! Ann has lsot alot of weight ! butt she awlways looked good

[kittywhiskerz]

@PaganKitty1 Awesome. Well stated. You rock.

[forsythia77]

Thanks for posting this, I love Heart! This song is awesome and Ann Wilson's voice is wonderful. I always wanted to look as good as them and have their talent, and be a rock star!

[heymrbluesman]

Well, forgetting about the debate over Ann's weight for the moment, let me just that Nancy was hot in 1976 and is still hot today. Cameron Crowe is so damn lucky.

As to this song, it's the best damn Heart song there is. I was 11 when it came out and fell in love with this song. 32 years letter, I still love this song. Thanks for the clip, something about seeing these girls in 76 just brings back so many great memories.

[g0thmoth]

Thankful I'm lucky enough to be a part of the generation just prior to MTV-when maybe, you fell in love with the SOUND before you saw the performer & passed judgement. Perchance, you had only seen an LP cover, or a Midnight Special performance, a poster/photo in a magazine after.Because whenever I hear people rag on Ann for her weight or comment on Nancy's bust, I feel sad that the gift of great music is just lost on them. If you're that shallow, shut your eyes & clean out your ears..sheesh!

[lissiness]

Thank you for saying that. I was just thinking, why don't these bores go watch TV or something?

[mjackson1000]

....there are only a few GREAT female voices...Ann Wilson, Grace Slick, Streisand, (flame suit on!) Celine Dion, Johnnette Napolitan, etc...almost everyone else is just posing...

[Mikemaniax]

Seriously the fact that you mentioned Celine Dion disqualifies you!!!!!

[aknowneemus]

i was 11 in 1976 and ann was the hottest chick on the planet!

so everytime i hear this tune i'm 11 again and ann is still and forever will be hot!

[browner2252]

so what. she was hot then. maybe if she didn't get her nose job, she would've stayed this way. But it don't matter b/c her voice is still amazing to this day

[allycat52s]

WHAAAAAAT?!?!? ann got a nose job?!? omg i had nooo idea

serously?

[browner2252]

Dont be sarcastic

[allycat52s]

IM SOOO NOT KIDDING

[OnlyAPawn1970]

Ann was fuckin hot here.Fuck anyone who makes fun of her size now.Shes still cool.When you get older,its hard to stay thin,but she can still sing.

[Starskylar87]

That's right!

[danielnordeen]

@OnlyAPawn1970 Yeh wait til they get older the we can laugh at them. I used to be skinny too. You metabolism slows down and you can get less exercise and muscle mass reduces... it is not just that but genetics and your chemistry. life has a funny way to use karma to return judgement so be careful

[InTheorie101]

Birth Name

Ann Dustin Wilson

Height

5' 7" (1.70 m)

[AKaye87]

Female rockers are so hot

[MilesMuhldoon]

poor Annie. another lover full of shit and breaking her heart...

[5point0]

Holy cow Ann is beautiful. Is she 5 "9 or 10? Looks so statuesque

[SadWings]

Ann Wilson is the greatest female rock vocalist of all time. It's not even close. Also, even though this doesn't have anything to do with talent, I would like to add that I can't think of any woman, at any time, being more beautiful than Ann circa 1976.

[DouglasDavidsonIdol]

Grace Slick and Linda Perry are also very nice. I used to think Lita Ford was how waaaay back when I was semi-straight, like before I was 14. You should listen to Linda Perry's Spaceman, Drifting, What's Up, or better yet, a song they have both covered, Misty Mountain. There voices are nothing alike, but I think if you like women with amazing voices you'd like Linda Perry when she was in 4 non blondes. THere a song Grece Slick did with Linda called Knock Me Out.

[0903168g]

muy buena canción,ademas de guapas

[grawolfe0820]

I still have the album! okay, so I'm old@!

[guyglowmore1]

that was a good album. my girlfriend had it at the time and i liked it alot. and this is a sweet song. theme song of the album somewhat. forgot about heart and then my brother met cameron and his wife nancy yesterday and i wasn't sure, thought maybe he meant the other nancy wilson. he said they were really nice and earthy. i didn't know they were married and had kids and stuff

[funnyhaha07]

Its not the same with Ann's dramatic flute solo. But she looks so damn adorable while singing here especially. Her face is so cute, its very Shirley Temple like.

[lancetop]

Ann is a goddess of rock'n'roll. Love you always dear Ann:)

[heavenfaithe]

I feel so connected to this group and their wonderful music.

[beith13]

the greatest rock in roll divas of all time, it was great when these rocker chicks ruled the world..........

[amytehcrazy]

Ann and Nancy's harmony makes my heart melt ^_^

[Chipi64]

That's right! I hope it will be in my country (Argentina) too.

[QueenHeartKiss]

yah

[jkoncz]

two of the best female rockers of all time in their prime and so great frozen in time....

[labmanjrb69]

"THE" best female rockers of all in my opinion...they would even put some of the bands of today to shame ...alzayz loved ann`s voice!!

[elvis1939]

There are so few female rockers. Even soft these bitches rock!!!!

[pekoe]

I MEAN TOKE UP AN JUST VEG THINK MAN

[steveoliver62]

In a dream I died & went to heaven where Nancy Wilson was the lady next door who just happened to offer to teach me to play guitar. ;o) Joking aside - what a great resource youtube is - when I can get to see gems like this 30 yrs or so since I first heard them.

[pekoe]

WOW MAGIC

[lovesheart]

Chipi..how many more of these little gems do have in that vault of yours?Paul
