The most beautiful female voice on the planet. She deserved each and every one of the multiple awards and accolades she received. An amazing live performer as is evidenced here. This is my favorite live performance of hers. The passion and the amazing control and use of volume. Just stunning. This was in 1976 in Germany. Please explore more of her forty plus years catalogue. You will never be disappointed. 🌺✌️
Grew up in 60’s, going to concerts only expected to hear the singer-sing. No lip syncing, just pure talent. Lucky our generation had true talent to listen too.Linda also did 2 double platinum albums in Spanish. Also, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt made two albums under Trio. Pure, unadulterated talent.
This live, in a 15,000 seat arena. She could fill those large venues with her power, and cut through the guitars and bass with ease, which made her perfect for the decade of the 70s.
Control, Power and Clarity are trademarks of Linda. This song is off Linda's "Hasten Down the Wind" album, her 3rd straight platinum in a row. Linda was the first woman to accomplish that feat and she didn't stop till she had 6 in a row, 8 if you count her 2 greatest hits albums.
I saw this concert live in 1977. She made many slobbering fans for life...including myself. Dig deeper into her career, and you will be amazed by her talent.
@MrZocor That's not true, she has Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, her memory may in time be affected, but it has not yet reached an advanced stage, regrettably there is no cure, nor any effective treatment for the disease at the moment.
This is blues. Just another type of music that she took on and mastered. As well as this, she did rock, pop, country, jazz, mariachi and opera. You have just entered the vortex that is Linda Rondstat.
Legendary singer-songwriter Willie Nelson once said "There are two kinds of men. Those who are those who are in love with Linda Ronstadt and those who ask: Who is Linda Ronstadt?"
I saw Linda in November 1975 and unfortunately she didn’t perform this song that night. I later read that this song literally gave her hives it was that hard to sing. I’ve searched the internet and this is the only live performance I can find of her singing Down So Low. Even though she didn’t do this song it was still one of the greatest concerts I’ve seen in my 76 years. Oh and the opening act, The Eagles, we’re great too
Great reaction. Ms Ronstadt performs many genres. Please consider “Ooh, Baby, Baby” (Motown), “La Charreada” (Spanish) and “What’s New” (American Standards) for a sample of her diversity of styles. Different genres but always with that great voice.

I was lucky enough to have seen Linda live many times and yes...she was this good. ALWAYS!
Linda always had incredible breath control.
Probably the best mezzo-soprano ever to lend her voice to popular music.
One of the best of all time
Her voice was extraordinary. I saw her live so many times. Listen to Blue Bayou or Desperado. Great reaction.
Same.

Her Spanish tracks are amazing, La Charreda
Fuck! Her voice is so beautiful!
@MrZocor I did not know that. Is that why I haven't seen her for many years?

@MrZocorit is terminal and she won’t be with us much longer. And that’s TRAGIC!

That's a performance you can watch a thousand times and never tire of.
You are not the only guy to be gobsmacked by her voice.
She's amazing. Long LongTime is great too.

She's the G.O.A.T. Have a listen to La Cigarra..
that was special.

Another stellar version: Tracy Nelson & Mother Earth.
Great reaction. Ms Ronstadt performs many genres. Please consider “Ooh, Baby, Baby” (Motown), “La Charreada” (Spanish) and “What’s New” (American Standards) for a sample of her diversity of styles. Different genres but always with that great voice.
Alex,you check out her Spanish songs,like chareada, its absolutely amazing
Yes, live without Auto tune or any other electronic help
Look up Blue Bayou and Desperado.
This was written by Tracy Nelson around 1965 and is about her relationship with musician Steve Miller.
Yes. Tracy recorded a powerful stripped down version with just a piano. She's a gem.
@@janetsmiley6778 Certainly her father's daughter, to be sure.
"There are 3 singers: Barbara Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, and Connie Smith. The rest of us are just pretenders." - Dolly Parton.
Listen to her studio version of Desperado
She wasn't the Queen of Rock'n' Roll for nothing!
