The second guitarist she mentioned, Andrew Gold, was a friend if mine who unfortunately died in 2011. He has some great songs including "Lonely Boy" and "Thank You For Being a Friend".
Linda is just the best of the best. Please react to “Down So Low” (make sure it’s the live version) from this same concert. It’s an amazing, soulful, passionate delivery of a great song. 🌺✌️
Hope I get all this right! In 1971 Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner were Linda Ronstadt's backing band on tour. At first it was just Glenn and Don, but later Bernie and Randy joined in. They decided to go their own way, and founded a group called Eagles. Glenn Frey said it was supposed to just be "Eagles", but we all know them as The Eagles. So Linda provided a platform that gave the Eagles a boost. Cool stuff. Thanks for a great reaction. God bless you! And here's my edit...you heard these names, it was none of them that went on to be the Eagles. Thanks!
Didn't see it in the news, but a friend mantioned to me they thought Don and the group were possibly in the middle of a fallout. Very sorry to hear my friend may have been correct. Thanks for the info! God bless you!@@User_gin_927untileternity

Linda Ronstadt represents Mexican Americans so well! The 70s would have been musically bankrupt without her contributions. No fancy overproductions or editing machines; Linda represents a time when giants walked the earth.
I saw her in concert at least 4 times. Each time this tiny little figure on stage belted out powerful, tender, sensual, magnificent sound. Even one time the instruments didn't arrive and the Eagles played for her. She was upset because she could not do her whole set. I do not remember if they came, it is a blur but I remember her voice and I just lost my marbles.
❤❤❤I got emotional bro....tears rolling down my face....every time I see her perform this....and when I hear this. Just GREAT PERFORMANCE from a GREAT ARTIST!!! GREAT REACTION!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Proper talented musicians, instruments, to vocals.... Those were the days🥺😕💖... I am privileged to have been young, and enjoying this song/music, and can still sing along whenever I hear it nowadays.... Thank you for your reactions 🙏. Cheerio from Down Under 🌺
Linda Ronstadt always worked with great musicians, a part of her success, along with her undeniable talent. And the fact that she was easy on the eyes didn't hurt. Waddy Wachtel and Andrew Gold had success on their own, and with other bands over the years.
In the early 1970s, I saw Linda Ronstadt when she opened for the legendary Neil Young. Despite being relatively inexperienced at the time, Linda took the stage and killed it before Neil Young's performances. The crowds were primarily there to see Neil, but Linda gave a standing ovation performance. Touring with Neil Young provided valuable exposure for Linda, and it helped boost her records. The camaraderie among the artists grew, and Linda appreciated Neil's music and the talented band he had on tour. Their collaboration extended beyond the early days, with Linda contributing backup vocals on Neil Young's hit song "Heart of Gold" from the album Harvest. Later, she worked with him on his Harvest Moon album in the early '90s. Linda Ronstadt's journey, from opening for Neil Young to becoming a solo star, is a testament to her remarkable talent and stunning voice. It was one of the best concerts I ever saw. Thanks, Shawn, for bringing back sweet memories of that night with my wife and the friends we went to the show with. Your videos and excellent commentary helped me with my early onset of memory loss. My doctor says listening to music can evoke an emotional response or stimulate memory. I've told my friends to watch you. You don't realize the gifts that are stolen from us, that you are helping to give back. Bless you, Shawn. I want you to know that you are greatly appreciated.
Great reaction . Linda never disappoints , she was always about the music not just her voice. Listen to Poor Poor pitiful me, another great song by this talented woman :)
She has always stayed true to the studio recording, and then elevates it with her Live performance, but the nuanced solo(s) were a nice addition to the original. Yet it stayed within the same format the whole time. I enjoyed that.
Thanks for great reaction.Linda’s rock is hard to beat.She always had great musicians.I think this tune and tumbling dice from her Atlanta 1977 concert was amazing.The energy and talent coming off that stage!
What a fun reaction. Oh man, I had such a huge crush on her in childhood. Later on it was Jessica Lange but Linda was it for me early on. I really think you would dig her hard banger Back in the USA, from her album Living in the USA. It's so fun. You get to hear her do a lot of that grit and snarl in her voice, and she really shows off her pipes. It's really up-tempo.
There's nothin' like an epic live performance. Check out one of my favorites, The Who's My Generation from Live at Leeds. Recorded at the perfect time when their youthful energy collided with musical mastery, creating a raw and powerful sound that's unmatched. EPIC!
Now you can see why Linda was my first album cover crush, then hearing her voice makes me fall in love with her even more. With her being the best, she's only going be surrounded by the best musicians.
Somebody Please react to HEATWAVE LIVE by Linda Randstad as you see the girl can ROCK !! also TUMBLING DICE Live from Atlanta concert .,,,,nice reaction !
Though Linda was clearly first and foremost a singer, she did write three songs that she recorded. Lo Siento Mi Vida and Try Me Again ( on which Andrew Gold helped with the arrangement of the bridge ) were on the Hasten Down the Wind album and Winter Light was written for the film The Secret Garden and was also in her Winter Light album.
Dang, you should check out Love Has No Pride from this same concert. It will knock your socks off (not literally) -- a ballad for the ages. It's also on her Greatest Hits album from 1976.
As randyventresca says versatile...just a power house. So Shawn i'd like to hear from another power house from the era Ann Wilson/Heart and their cover of Zeppelin's Battle of Evermore form the concert Alive in Seattle. Ann and Nancy and their fabulous harmonies. If any Heart fans have never heard this song check it out
I did not know that this was her only #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. I had to double check that because it sounded so wrong. With 11 Grammys, 3 AMA's, 2 Academy of Country Music awards, an Emmy, an ALMA, the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the National Medal of Arts and Humanities, over 100 million albums sold, and being one of the most popular and most loved artists of the 70s, she ruled the radio airwaves, I would've thought she had more #1's. I guess #1's don't really matter because she was and remains one of the most popular singers in American history.
Welcome ANY opportunity to watch sweet Linda. Think you can get her number? :) My favorite of her is a duet with Paul Simon, as they sing the beautiful "Under African Skies" from Graceland. Just exquisite harmonies, and story! "This is the powerful coursing of love through the veins."
Bands in the 70's could really play music and singers could really sing, live. And ticket prices were reasonable. Today I would argue none of that is true or very little.
Dude, you SHOULD ALWAYS, with very little exception, do the studio version first, then the live. This is in no way as good as the studio. It's "close, but no cigar" !!! I think you would have appreciated it much more if you had done both, with this one last. People that tell you to do the live version, have already experienced it in the order I'm suggesting, so they've grown to appreciate the live version, in SPITE of its faults, and there are some AND ... there are some pluses as well. Doing the studio first, you would be able to see what was added, changed, or deleted.
To marxlover, no she never wrote a song, elvis never did either, she watched and listened to other peoples, interpreted it and changed it how she would do it. If that isn't musicianship than I pity you for your lack of understanding of art.
I nicknamed her "Copycat Ronstadt" since half her hits were copy jobs off other artists' hits. "You're No Good" was a hit for Betty Everett in the '60s.
No one could sing better than Linda. No one.
The second guitarist she mentioned, Andrew Gold, was a friend if mine who unfortunately died in 2011. He has some great songs including "Lonely Boy" and "Thank You For Being a Friend".
I wondered when she introduced him, if he was that Andrew Gold. My sympathies on the loss of your friend. A loss for his many fans, as well.
Most of this band featured on Gold's album "What's wrong with this picture?"
Linda's version of the Stones' "Tumbling Dice" is fire!
The greatest most versatile female vocalist of her generation.
Music that literally gets you higher than any drug.
Linda was the queen of rock.

I love all of Linda Ronstadt. Few people know how many genres she graced.
The Crush of every boomer dude! Not to mention her talent! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is just a crumb of her talent! The best female vocalist of any age!
No matter the genre, Linda always delivers. This is one of the best Ronstadt reactions yet! Thanks!
She's truly one of a kind!
You picked the right version to listen to and watch
Saw her at Red Rocks in 1977. She was great and wore a Cub Scout uniform...

LA Charreada & LA Cigarra!!!! Also,Blue Bayou.ALL LIVE!!!!!!!!
My favorite singer of all time. Love Linda. ❤
Remember the bumper sticker "Love that Linda Ronstadt". Had it on my VW bus for years.
❤❤❤I got emotional bro....tears rolling down my face....every time I see her perform this....and when I hear this. Just GREAT PERFORMANCE from a GREAT ARTIST!!! GREAT REACTION!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You should react to her live performance of "La Cigarra "...her performance and vocals are amazing...she can really hold a note!!
Linda Ronstadts is one of a few who's voice always makes the hair on my neck stand up.

I didn't know Andrew Gold played in her band. He had a couple of hits in the '70s, which I really enjoyed.❤ Never Let Her Slip Away, Lonely Boy.
Played with her for years
Great voice..and great band!!!

Excellent reaction! Now please give a listen to her cover of “Ooh, Baby Baby”, written and first recorded by Smoky Robinson. Hers is dreamy.
I keep saying that Linda Ronstadt is the best female singer of this generation
She's so amazing with any type of music she sings. You have to listen to her live version of Down so Low and Pirates of Penzance incredible.
She sure can sing. I caught her with America some years ago, that was a good concert.

"growly" could be the word you're looking for.
Andrew gold went onto have a career himself Linda was a great female singer. Love her music
Linda never wrote a song in her entire career... but she took songs other people wrote, and made them her own.
This song goes out to t rump
Our Linda can sing any song better than all the rest of them wanna bees
If you want a musical rabbit hole to go down, Google the guitar player here, Waddy Wachtel!
Relationships are hard, but you have to do them. Stick with it, you’ll be surprised.
