So happy to see the sisters together… I’m still in awe of their creations in the 70s.

Ann and Nancy Wilson are the real deal ❤❤

That’s my go-to performance when I need some positivity. Heart nailed it. Everyone on that stage nailed it, including the great guitarist Shane Fontaine. ❤rocks.

It is as if you can literally feel what they felt performing in front of their idols Led Zeppelin. They, Ann and Nancy are so down to earth and I'm glad their together again. I love them both.

To me, this is the cover of covers. I still watch it regularly and get emotional, especially as the whole thing crescendos and climaxes to the choir integration. It’s just fantastic.

The single best live performance in rock music history!

Nailed it is an understatement, it was, and will always be a masterpiece.

The two most beautiful women in the world! And talent in spades. So humble and lovely. Thank you, Heart ❤️.

For my money, the greatest cover ever of arguably the greatest song ever. Not just for their performance but for what must've been the most scrutinizing of audiences...

[randallwilson]

Best rendition of that song I've seen. My favorite version of it. The orchestra, and choir added so much to it.

[nikkijones]

One of my favourite You Tube videos …. makes me a bit teary every time. Ann Wilson belting it out with such emotion …. and the choral ending. I watch it regularly ❤

Legends honoring legends in a room full of legends.

One of the greatest musical performances of all time. Absolute, magical perfection.
