Heart Needs More Recognition

[-]

saopaulodreaming@reddit

Anyone who disparages Heart needs to head straight to Youtube to watch their killer performance of "Stairway to Heaven" they did at the Kennedy Center tribute to Led Zeppelin. Then , while you are on Youtube, watch their live 1978 performance of Crazy on You, the one that features Nancy's virtuoso 2 and a half minute acoustic guitar intro.

Robert Plant loved their performance. Heart knocked it out of the park. Will have to find the Crazy on You performance

I believe he even had a little tear in his eye because Heart's performance (with Jason on the drums) was so impressive.

Yeah. When you can make the original artists tear up (positively) from your performance, you’re doing it right b

70s Heart was great. "These Dreams" 80s Heart was lame.

First, freaking love Heart. Second, my husband and I crack up at the videos of heart where the bigger sister always is singing from behind a tree etc. It was so mean!

I feel like Heart gets a ton of recognition. During their career peak, they had several hits, tons of album sales, lots of radio airplay, and received critical acclaim.

I saw them live and they are great. They had a resurgence with Guitar Hero. They turned out some garbage in the 80’s like many other bands.

Heart always reminds me of my mom and her friend, they both were into Heart, they were both Boomers. I do appreciate the vocals they added to Alice in Chains "Rooster."

I'm guessing two women on the road in the 70s wasn't a walk in the park either.

I saw them in 2016 with Joan Jett and Cheap Trick. Everyone sounded great!!! Not a huge fan of any of the acts, but knew the people watching would be off the hook! The fans did not disappoint, as it was an eyeful! Heart and Joan Jett both rocked the fuck out!

Alone was written by I-Ten. Didn’t go anywhere. Heart covered it and made it an all time classic

Big time and great mention!! They were awesome. They were women so that's why they probably don't get as much recognition.

Nancy Wilson is an excellent guitarist, and Ann has serious pipes.

They get plenty of recognition. On Spotify, they have over 9 million monthly listeners.

I like Heart's rock tracks but lost respect when they allegedly caved and went into their ballad phase. Ann Wilson says she they pressured to do, "All I want to do .." and denounced it, but I'm pretty sure she didn't burn up the paychecks from it. That aside, as I said, I really dug their classics and listen to those to this day.

I have a few of their songs on my gym playlist. Crazy on You is my favorite. Nancy Wilson is a guitar goddess.
