Seen many gals Live. Aretha, Adele, Tina, the gals in Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Pretenders, Blondie, Grace Slick, Dolly, Emmylou all fine. Yet, none had the power, tenderness, clarity and natural glorious sound of Linda Ronstadt. Certainly had a deep crush seeing her in the 70s but those pipes, especially in Spanish, just got more mesmerizing as time went on - especially Live. When she stopped singing our collective musical hearts were broken. Rockin' or crooning a very special songbird.
I respect your list, but I wouldn't put Aretha Franklin below Linda for those qualities. ESPECIALLY power. Aretha could bring you to your knees in awe. Just listen to "Good to Me As I am to You."
@@MDLOP8 I don't think anyone would be grading or comparing to who is the one who screams the loudest. I just listened to your suggestion, and yes Aretha does scream loud in her singing. But I'm sure that Ethan is referring to an overall great singer who reaches very high pitch notes , soft and tender and clear - just as he indicates in the comments. Linda Ronstadt undoubtedly has been praised for having all these qualities, versatility, singing very beautifully in many different genres-like no other on planet Earth.
While Aretha was a magnificent vocalist, and her natural gospel "belt" is other worldly - at the performances I attended in the 80s, she was terrific but phoning it in emotionally and the band was routine. Still Aretha was a joy to behold. Linda, especially Live, for me is something else - tremendous flexible pipes surrounded by devoted top flight players. Whether they be rockers with blazing guitars, loud Mariachi musicians, strumming country twangers, or orchestras like Nelson Riddle - Ronstadt's instrument was mesmerizing in both tone and technique. And yeah the crush, when we were young enhanced the Live shows. "Comparison is the killer joy" The greats are greats - long may we listen. ✌
I saw Linda Ronstadt live 40 times in my lifetime. I had summers where my friends and I would see her at the Music Hall in Boston, then move out of Boston to see the same show in Worcester, then on to Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maine and up to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in New York. I saw her with Nelson Riddle at Radio City Music Hall and I saw the Las Canciones show at Great Woods in Mansfield. We were literal Ronstadt groupies. It was worth every minute and every cent we spent. She's nothing short of magnificent.
Out of respect to other singers, we say that Linda is one of the best or amongst the best singers ever. But we know that combining all her attributes, her powerful beautiful singing voice, her high pitch reach, is really unsurpassed. She truly is a precious Gem and our National Treasure. We have witnessed her singing in so so many different genres, and she has masterfully conquered them all .not in a so so medium average fashion, but in an outstanding way. She can tune a piano and guitar as soon as she sings the first note. Powerful !!!
We would wait on line outside various venues starting at 3 AM, Radio City Muic Hall, various Arenas, to get good seats for her upcoming shows. No one did that for female acts in those days (mid 70s - early 80s) - except for Linda Ronstadt. For all her American Superstardom she remained an unpretentious free spirit where music and singing were the point. Fame seemed to be drag for her - how unusual.
She’s f’ing amazing. She can sing anything and her artistry, her interpretive skills, are first rate! No one can take her place. She’s the Meryl Streep of singers, the Roy Orbison of vocal ranges!
"Comparison is the killer of joy". Yet no one combined natural robust power and unadorned sorrow in my popular music lifetime like Ronstadt and those pipes of hers.
Lord can't give you back your youth . However, for a few minutes perhaps hours, Linda Ronstadt and that voice of hers can. An elixir for tough guys. Sigh...
I watched the Old Grey Whistle test every week here in the UK, so glad they did not destroy this as they did with some of the old shows from UK TV. Linda Ronstadt, the soundtrack of my 20s.
I believe that’s correct. Waddy didn’t come aboard until ‘76. What a glorious time it was for music huh?! Have you watched the Offenbach ‘76 concert film? Same tour, same lineup! It’s outstanding!
Found a quote from photographer Alan Messer, according to video he was off by 10 days in his recollection: "I photographed Linda Ronstadt’s Old Grey Whistle Test live broadcast at the New Victoria Theatre, London on November 1st, 1976, working with the Whistle Test production team. I spent the entire concert standing in front of her with my cameras. Linda seemed to be staring at me most of the time. I was twenty five and very shy and she was extraordinarily beautiful."
Were I he at that gig, I think her voice would simply have melted me. Being close to performers on stage of her caliber, I know I am unable to keep it together.
I have loved Linda's music from Simple dreams, watching today 50 years later, I love that it is all about the music, the female performers today performing with all their bits hanging out, wearing next to nothing, just to make it is just sad. This was truly beautiful to sit and watch, this to me is real beauty and talent

I always loved Linda Ronstadt and her musical styles! She has stopped singing due to vocal issues and I am so sorry. Thanks Linda for your great music and God bless you as you rest up and retire from all your efforts! You can hold your head high over your accomplishments! 😍
I understand that it's not just vocal issues per say, but that she has some illness similar to Parkinson's disease which causes her not to sing anymore. Such an adorable angel we all have been fortunate to see on earth, and on top of that, to have delighted us with such beautiful powerful and delicate voice as well.
Roger that. Hey, you're not the Mike Kaylor from the Huntsville Times are you? I saw her in Huntsville with the Eagles back around this time but don't recall the year.
Hands down my favorite singer of all time. Such a beautiful voice, across so many genres. And always nailing it when singing live, just amazing. Incredibly, all this music is actually being created live in front of the audience. Mega "performers" of today should watch this... and then try it without auto tune, pitch correction and backing tracks.
For so many years, a new set of covers from Linda that she somehow managed to turn into the definitive versions of the songs. Her voice, on a soft, subtle ballad to a belting Stones rocker, sang the soundtrack of our generation with passion, compassion, and class.
This tour was my second time for seeing Linda (out of eleven over the years). I wish I could explain what it was like to see her live back then--and hear how clear and dulcet her voice was, even in some large arenas (like the Spectrum in Philly). But mostly it was just her undeniable talent. It's hard to believe, but her voice would get even better than this, her control even greater; after doing Pirates and La Boheme she truly became one of the finest singers of the last half century or so. A voice that could go anywhere and often did. A gift.
Very glad to have seen this show. had to comment although it speaks for itself , just to trigger the payment algorithms . Thank goodness for the BBC, because stopping for commercials would have been an insult to the pace of the artistic statement displayed here.
Magnificent composure. So graceful to watch. This voice caresses the human ear. Our Creator is to be admired. He certainly produced something and someone special in Linda Ronstadt.
A highlight among live music archives from that era. Everyone concerned knows she has always been brilliant, but this perform shows that "peak of its powers" quality shared with the tightest band one could imagine for the set, plus crystal clear sound and mix to enjoy every single nuance. I am so thankful for this having been shared. 🙏🏾
This tour was my first Linda concert. I saw her over a dozen times. I met her on this tour for the first time (I met her twice) ... she was not that nice haha... but she is always and forever my NUMBER 1. Love you forever, Linda. this
First time I saw Linda live she opened for Neil Young at Winterland in San Francisco in 1973 She was only mildly known at the time and the audience was impatient with her because they couldn’t wait for Neil’s set and didn’t give her much love. I thought she did great❤
Exceptionally talented & beautiful. Linda has it all. We are so fortunate to be able to see & listen to someone as special as her. As close to perfection as we will ever get to hear.
Saw her in Portland on river all Mexicana the Trio in Rose garden small amphitheater 2001 pardon and Harris were awesome but Linda was angelic & so powerful
Another awesome performance y Linda and one of the best bands ever! Waddy and Andrew are great!! I’ve always wondered why she didn’t turn him loose to sing a song once in a while! He had a hit a year later with Lonely Boy.
I saw her in Amsterdam on this tour and Andrew Gold opened for her with the rest of the band. He played for a good hour (including Lonely Boy) and was much appreciated by the Dutch crowd. Thanks for this pristine post of an artist who can hold your heart in her hands when you hear her. So grateful that I saw her in ‘76.Thanks again for posting ❤
Linda had full control of her voice throughout her range. That's pretty rare. Ella Fitzgerald and Doris day come to mind as as other female singers who can say the same.
I often wonder how many people who criticize singers and artists from the 70s,80s ever saw them in person. They go into these long drawn out Bullshit criticisms or long analysis of the singers. Yet, you can bet your ass by they way their talking they've never in seen that artist live. Not once. Linda's voice live will make the hair on your arm stand up. Its that simple and she was that good. Yes, she could easily bring you to tears. Easily! Her voice was just beautiful. Stunningly powerful. For those who never saw her live these videos are just fantastic to see and hear again and I'm happy her voice and music lives on. She also wrote her own book by the way. Just like Bruce Springsteen did. She was no dummy. She also never did coke until her nose melted. That was a total lie. Try Stevie Nicks. Thats what happened to her nose.
Another simply sensational video of a magic live performance, the Old Grey Whistle Test has made many classic live music concert videos. As expected, this highlights Linda's superb vocal talent. Check out the similarly great video of Emmylou Harris and a great iteration of her Hot Band, likewise recorded live on the Old Grey Whistle Test.
My 2nd and last Linda concert was in August 1976,in Edmonton,which would have been part of this tour. Waddy wasn't with her then. Andrew Gold did the lead guitar work. One of the greatest concerts I attended.
Leading off with a killer “Lose Again”! A century ago, Karla Bonoff’s grandfather Karl signed the gigantic Los Angeles marriage license of my grandparents (“His granddaughter is popular in the music business,” I heard in the ‘80s”).
The people in the U.K. tend to be more reserved. I've been there, and other European countries. Janis Joplin said that the Europeans's "don't know how to boogie." Lol. She was disappointed with the audience reaction. Simply an observation, not a judgment of anybody. I suspect it's a cultural thing. I believe that has changed since then.
@@kevinmaher3662 Why be hyper critical about an exceptional singer? She didn't perform in order to have a conversation with you or anybody else. What a wet blanket.
@kevinmaher3662 Did you enjoy her singing? That's all that matters. You never knew her personally, so what makes it so important to you? Her talent and intentions are what matters most.
Yeah, later in the set I see Glenn must have been off with that later band. Here are the players: Andrew Gold, Kenny Edwards, Waddy Wachtel, Dan Dugmore, Brock Walsh, and Michael Botts
I wish Tumblin Dive wasn’t cut from this. Much like all the 70’s and 80’s shows, so many great songs edited out due to time. But someone had to leave on of her Mexican tunes. She never realized that most Americans or Brits didn’t come to hear that. It’s pretty and she covers it well. But she could sing literally anything. Great show as always!!!
Yeah, because HOW DARE THEY keep a song that had meaning to her. You claim to KNOW what she "realized" or didn't? I saw her around this time, with this band, and you know what? The audience was FINE with her singing ONE song from her father's heritage.. You lament missing Tumbling Dice, I miss Carmelita. Suck it up child, and appreciate what IS still around ALMOST 50 years later
Neither 'Dice or Carmelita had then been recorded. This is Linda's "Hasten Down The Wind" 1976 tour. Both TD and Carmelita were after 1977 "Simple Dreams"
I don't think 1970's country rock music was that big in UK at the time. Rock of course was big in England and as well as folk/rock bands like Fairport Convention, Pentangle but not so much California country rock even though Linda's voice was phenomenal. Didn't seem like Linda Ronstadt and her band played much in England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland in the 1970's. Maybe her mgmt team didn't push much for many tours in those countries then.
Who are you kidding, bubba. I've seen her 40 times in my lifetime. Every one of her bands was great. Give me a break. Now everyone makes their sound out of a fucking computer.

This shows how much power and range she had Linda is and will always be one of the greatest voices of generations Amazing Artist ❤🎶
She is the greatest. No one else comes close.
She took her powerful voice and _performed_ each song, becoming the song itself!
She’s f’ing amazing. She can sing anything and her artistry, her interpretive skills, are first rate! No one can take her place. She’s the Meryl Streep of singers, the Roy Orbison of vocal ranges!

I don't think 1970's country rock music was that big in UK at the time. Rock of course was big in England and as well as folk/rock bands like Fairport Convention, Pentangle but not so much California country rock even though Linda's voice was phenomenal. Didn't seem like Linda Ronstadt and her band played much in England, Scotland, Wales or Ireland in the 1970's. Maybe her mgmt team didn't push much for many tours in those countries then.
Amazing how fast this band would be fired today. But decent backup vox
Who are you kidding, bubba. I've seen her 40 times in my lifetime. Every one of her bands was great. Give me a break. Now everyone makes their sound out of a fucking computer.
Why would the band be fired?
Not my cup of tea, but she could sing
Linda always sounds like she's on her period. I blame Karla Bonoff. Still, she does it very well.
