@mauriceortiz Yeah I caught just a fleeting glimpse of Jeff on the congas and he definitely wasn’t on guitar. Great band fronted by a woman and a half.
@@1UTUBEUSERNAME Partly. I don’t watch TV and haven’t listened to new music since, 1980. With the exception of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gary Moore, and the Black Keys. I know the last three, by name.

Mariah and the one who married Jay Z? Jackson? As in Janet? I only know their names/faces. Couldn’t tell you their songs. I go out of my way to avoid new music.

@@whyis45stillalive WTF is wrong with you? You either had a stroke or did not take your meds. Or maybe od'd on something. Seriously, WTF are you talking about? Don't reply please.
Her voice has always been one of the best! As a 60 year old woman, I also cannot help all the natural beauty - Linda and the back up singers….no Botox, no breast implants, no freaky tattooed eyebrows…..just pure beauty, pure talent and sincere enjoyment of what they are doing.
music still is "actually made" and it was often faked in that era, this is rare. At least you got on thing right... fantastic performance. You just have a several blind spots to reality of music. That, coming from a 62 year old multi-instrumentalist, producer. music is out there, look in better places. All music is actually music.
Stop with the comparisons between eras. Everyone thinks the music when they were 15-25 is the “best”. That era also had Anne Murray Air Supply England Dan Firefall and a bunch of other forgettable acts remember? Anyone miss Nicolette Larsen? Linda would have had talent in any era and you would have probably hated her.
@@randyrodriguez1445 Touchy, touchy! Dude, you are entitled to your opinions. The rest of us are entitled to ours. So, politely, go find someone else to yell at to get off your lawn.
Andrew Gold was a great songwriter and musician. His guitar playing was very under-rated. His solo on the Linda's original recording of "You're No Good" is sublime. And anyone who has followed Jeff Baxter's musical career knows that he was an excellent percussionist as well as a superb guitar player.
The irony of her looking back and saying she didn't even know how to sing back then. Meaning that she was untrained of course, her natural talent is astounding. And what a lineup up backing musicians ands singers!
NO not “the” best, but the truth is “one” of the best. Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Carly Simon, Diana Ross, The Seekers, Carpenters (Karen Carpenter), ABBA, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Poppy Family.

@@dendon3384 Autotune music, lame transparent, lame lyrics and a lack of overall depth to the music is all I hear. I only can spot 1 song per 10,000 songs that I like, or tolerate. Today's music is agenda driven.
There are people in this world that outshine almost everyone else. Jeff Baxter has done so many things well is just astounding. Andrew Gold was such a talent, but most people don’t know of him. We are lucky to have these old videos and recordings to show young people what real musicians can do.
The absolute beauty of a band playing live. It has multi-dimensions that you will never feel in a canned lip-sync performance. Thanks for the memories.
Kenny Edwards who plays bass here, was also a member of the band, The Stone Poneys where Linda got her first hit as a singer with the Mike Nesmith song "Different Drum". Kenny was a founding member of that band. He played with Linda for many years.
Everybody was in love with Farrah. I still have Linda's poster that was on the ceiling over my bed...so I could say "Good morning" to her. If I opened my eyes and didn't see Linda, I wondered if I was going to have to chew my arm off to get out of bed unnoticed!
Ronstadt’s recorded version of ”You’re No Good” wasn’t released as a single until late 1974, nearly a year after this performance. It hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 for one week, 2/15/75. Its parent album, “Heart Like a Wheel,” spent the same week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was nominated for the Album of the Year Grammy. The accolades were much deserved!
@@JeffTheGent Four months after this aired on TV, my wife and I got to see Jeff "Skunk" Baxter play conga drums on "Do It Again" when Steely Dan performed at the U. of Toledo on Sunday April 21, 1974. They also let him sing lead on "My Old School" that April evening.
I see where Barbra Streisand got the idea of backup singers for A Star Is Born. Most acts on a TV appearance back then were forced to lip-sync but this group proved worthy of a live performance!
Yes, a great voice to go with her great talent. Also, as a young man (teenager), she is the first artiste (woman) I fell in love with. I still have a crush on her as well as Susan Pleshette may she rest in peace.
Ronstadt has a variety of Live versions of this tune. Each one a rock and rollin' gem. In concert she could be mesmerizing. Grab the microphone, let the band shine and sing your heart out. OMG. What a concept! Linda was the real deal.
Linda Ronstadt!!! ❤ It doesn't get any better! Loved her since 1970 when I first saw her @ Greek Theater in Hollyweird! Had her autograph on her Home Sown... Home Grown album cover when I saw her @ Knott's Berry Farm in 1972! Even my email address is shout out to her! Thought I would die from sheer agony when she could no longer sing! 😭 Please continue praying for her!!! 🙏 She's the best & no one can top or beat her, ever!!! Much ❤❤❤ to you Linda!!! Your music will live on FOREVER!!! 🥰✌️🤘
One of the very best singers ever. LOVE the days when real talent rose to the top instead of the strippers with auto tune we get today. A cruel twist that she can no longer sing today.
I thought he was just an excellent studio guitarist, but I have seen him on the congas in several old videos. He is just a bad ass. Don't trim the stash bad ass.
Linda is and will always be one of the greatest voices of generations.it didn’t matter what genre it was she could float between them effortlessly The Real Deal ❤❤🎶
Fantastic Linda performance, Andrew Gold rocking the lead guitar 🎸! This is the time period when I saw Linda live in concert regularly. She means so much to me, I used to sit up on the railroad tracks next to my parents house and sing Linda Rondstadt songs every night in the summer time, which is nearly year round in S. Cal.
Linda Ronstadt in her prime was a force of nature and Jeff Baxter was a master guitar player with a unique way of playing that made it sound like he was harmonizing both lead and rhythm guitar simultaneously.
Aw, a time when the music was the essence of the performance. No grand extravaganza with costumes and dancers and a choreographed show. Just pure talent, great musician's and Linda. Todays artists take note, this is what a great song and performance is.
Haven't seen this exact clip before, nut that was her then producer, Andrew Gold, on guitar and Kenny Edwards on bass. Linda was the best female vocalist ever in my book and laid the groundwork for concert female vocalists to follow, including Beyonce, Swift, Underwood, Nicks and more. Linda was selling out stadium concerts when male groups couldn't even manage that.
Skunk also played congas on Steely Dan’s first Midnight Special appearance in February 1973 as they performed Do It Again. Possibly their first national appearance on TV. Fagan was so racked with stage fright that the lead vocal was done by David Palmer. Skunk is one of the world’s great conga players. Pretty fair guitarist too.
![[BAEMON NEWS 7] NEW ALBUM COMING IN](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wtVeAPimOyo/mqdefault.jpg)
In my opinion, Linda Ronstadt was one of the greatest female vocalists of ALL time. DAMN, that girl could belt it out!

This is a REAL Rock and Roll Woman. She Blows Away Ciccone, Carey, Knowles, Jackson, Swift, Spears, etc. Thank You, Linda.

And anyone who has followed Jeff Baxter's musical career knows that he was an excellent percussionist as well as a superb guitar player.
When I saw Ronstadt in '76 the concert opened with Andrew Gold with his own band and then he came on stage and sat in with Ronstadt during her set
music still IS music
Hey rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame this is what a rock band sounds like
Ritchie Hayward on drums…..masterful 🥁
Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Andrew Gold, and Richie Haywood in Linda Ronstadt's band. Awesome.
yeah man, no lie!
And her bassist from Stone Poneys
Ya man!!! Burt Sugarman's midnight special. Best version.

And what a lineup up backing musicians ands singers!
her voice is truly one of a kind
Linda had a tremendous voice. Versatile, strong, and beautiful.
That's the most gnarly live rendition of that song I've ever heard. Bravo!
Her growl still sends me to the moon.
The heart-throb of a million young guys, tearing it up with a stellar band. Those were good days!
Linda had the best set of pipes in the business.

She was great! I saw her in concert 2x
Skunk is playing percussion on this. Why not on guitar? I have no earthly idea.

I’m 61 now , I remember as a kid my old man used to play this
She was always the best, and will go down in songstress history as the best She broke my heart when I first heard Different Drum, with the Stone Ponys
So good it gives me chills to listen to her. So much power in her voice! And you’ve got to admire her ability to rock the “no bra” times! 😊
From her album covers it's obvious she burned all her bras, in the spirit of the times.
All of us as 20-something year old guys back then were head over heals for that doll Linda. Man she was the bomb!
Us 13 year old guys too!
Linda was rock and roll from the start of her career, amazing vocals and her band were pretty great as well, including the background singers
Fire! Great to see this is actually live, unlike so many mimed performances of that era.
Is this definitely live, isn’t it?
I meant, “this is live. . .”
It definitely sounds different than the record- and as good in its own raw bluesy way.

I thought that was Andrew Gold on Linda's left.
I remember that back up singer in yellow when I was a kid. She had the moves. Usually always wore yellow....LOL
That's Clydie King.
Jeff Baxter is really talented! He was really wailing on those congas. In another video with the Doobie Brothers he was playing steel guitar.
I thought he was just an excellent studio guitarist, but I have seen him on the congas in several old videos. He is just a bad ass. Don't trim the stash bad ass.
Can one truly "wail" on congas? On guitar, sure, or various horns. Whompin' or slappin' might be a better descriptor.
yea didn't make a Steely Dan session by being average..

Oh Jeff was in congas. I was looking for him on guitar
Skunk is all around AMAZING

Linda had a purity, no gimmick, down to earth style which communicates as Love
Greatness never to be forgotten or repeated. And the natural ease of her performance…..
