Linda at Radio City Music Hall in early Summer 1996, was in fantastic voice. She lifted the audience up out of their seats that night with every number, including this beautiful Jimmy Webb song. Because of a job interview I did a couple months later in Northern California, I got to see her again at the Concord Pavilion in Walnut Creek. I took a bus to and from. Her voice seemed a little off that night and I felt she looked a little unhappy. Still, it was a joy to hear her a second time in so short a time. My prior Linda concert was as a kid growing up in Phoenix seeing her at a huge stadium show, the kind she notoriously hated doing. Linda's songbook is a masterclass for anyone who loves music and/or wants to sing. Her phrasing and voice are extraordinary. She famously once said "Music rules me. It always has." Maybe that is why her talent and dedication means so much to so many people. She can sing anything, as Dolly Parton has said.
This brings back such a great memory. My daughter and I saw Linda in Columbus, Ohio when she was touring for the CD. Concert was outside, at Beulah Park racetrack. It had poured rain up until an hour of the concert. They dried off the chairs, the temperature was perfect, no wind, no bugs, a perfect night. The concert was mesmerizing. I've seen hundreds of concerts but this was far the best. She is an amazing woman! Love her still!!!
I remember hearing this song growing up with my mom listening to it as she would clean the house. Although i acted like i didn't like it, I'm a thirty year old male and i love Linda Ronstadt's voice, mom knew good music, I've finally learned.
All I can say is "Wow." I have seen this woman 39 times live in my lifetime and I never had the pleasure of hearing this live. There is absolutely not another voice on the planet like this.
i have seen linda live several times, I've seen many of the greats. They were all wonderful, really great. BUT LINDA IS THE ONLY SINGER THAT I HAVE SEEN OUT OF ALL OF THEM WHO IS ACTUALLY BETTER THAN THE STUDIO RECORDING...THE ONLY SINGER I HAVE EVERY THOUGHT WOW, WHILE WATCHING HER LIVE, SHE IS SO SO SO SO MUCH MUCH BETTER LIVE....SUPER HUMAN......THANK YOU LINDA WE ARE ALL SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR GREAT GIFTS THIS LIFE TIME ....LOVE
Found another video with better camera work...same magnificent voice! ua-cam.com/video/2y7o22A2_SY/v-deo.html Her 75th birthday tomorrow. Alexa will be playing her all day. Enjoy your memory of being there!
@@lnl3237 Hi there Lorraine, same here - I will be glued more than ever to her music all day long tomorrow in celebration of her 75th birthday. We are all so blessed in so many ways for having Ms. Ronstadt’s magnificent voice always ringing in our ears and singing in our hearts.🥰❤️💕🌹 Thank you for sharing this and of course, it’s always a pleasure hearing from you. Keep well and safe and do enjoy this summer. Cynthia
@@lalique512 Blessed indeed. So many posts you see on her videos are recent. A ton of 60/70- something men out there still with major crushes! Happy listening!
Cynthia, it's Lorraine. Merry everything! Hope all is well. Just found this new site and for the last couple of days have seen performances I've never seen or fuller clips. Quality of this one is poor but it's Linda...young, barefoot, giant hoops, and wearing a "tunic" without the leggings. Loved hearing "I Keep It Hid" again. Wish this show would be released as a live album. And you were THERE! ua-cam.com/video/yEy75qrxOjk/v-deo.html
Linda has more power and emotion in her voice than thousands of singers today. MS took away from her singing voice. But will have UA-cam to thank for seeing her live. This is one of her greatest performances of this tune.
Years later now, when I hear this song, i get goose bumps. A total triumph. I have to find my CD of the Rainstorm album. It's a total gem. Linda was never in better voice and the material is fantastic.
Jimmy Webb's signature song - soaring melody and vocally challenging. Linda can pull this one off so effortlessly. This is one of my favourite songs by Webb.
I saw her in Saratoga for the Cry Like A Rainstorm concert. Seeing this live is indescribable. The way she brings the audience with her on the roller coaster of belting one out and vulnerability. Perfection!
Fantastic! I keep coming back to this video. I love the studio recording of "I Keep It Hid" but she completely outdoes herself with this performance. Her vocal power and breath control -- particularly at and after 2:50 -- is astonishing. Thanks for sharing.
This is without a doubt....SHEER PERFECTION... Ms. Ronstadt...what are we going to do without you in our lives? I am so beyond touched by the way you’re singing this beautiful song at this concert. You have totally outdone yourself.
@@lnl3237 Hi there Lorraine...great minds do think alike....I was thinking of you just the other day and thought that I’d send you a line or two and here you are - thank you for keeping in touch. Yes, I am keeping warm and well and still and always listening to our favourite voice and vocals. I trust that all is well too with you and yours. We are all hoping and praying that very soon now, we all be out of this pandemic woods. Again, thanks for thinking of me. Keep safe as ever. CHEERS!🌹😊🌞🌹🌹🌹 Cynthia
@@lalique512 So glad you're alive and well, Cynthia. Such strange and anxious times, especially for those who have lost loved ones and livelihoods. Old movies and music remain such an escape for me from all the nonsense that can spew from the television. Enjoying my used CD's I recently bought from ebay: Canciones de Mi Padre, Round Midnight, Winter Light, and Cry Like a Rainstorm, Howl Like the Wind. Feels Like Home is on Its way. Been enjoying all the Carole King tributes as Tapestry turns 50. That was one of my very first vinyls. Took my nieces to see "Beautiful" on Broadway for their Christmas gift one year-the music and staging was fabulous. Looking forward to Ms. Ronstadt's 75th this summer. It would be so comforting if she granted an interview (a phone-in one would be fine) to mark the occasion. Just don't want her to live one more day than she can stand. We're having ourselves a winter this year! Spring will be extra sweet.
@@lnl3237 Hi there Lorraine, Saying hello to you from my neck of the woods and trusting too that you are doing well. I was thinking of you and thought that I’d “knock on your door” and send my warm greetings on this beautiful, sunny Monday morning. I’m still here knowing that you are still there. Stay safe and I think we are not free yet from getting masked up. CHEERS to you and take care. Cynthia🌹🥰🌞🌻🌼🌸🌺
At first I didn't think that I was gonna 'like this'! I've heard the 'song' before. And you know how it is when you 'know' it certain ways! :-) But I MUST Say.. THIS is PHENOMENAL! I LOVE it! And I appreciate this posting! And 'THANK YOU'! God Bless! Carl Jenkins
@sescalante100 You are right; inspite of the fact that this is not a "professional" recording of her live concert--makes not difference; her Voice still sears the soul...
+christopher jones yes, great integrity, I was thinking it would have been a gift to her fans to hear a live concert recording. The Trio collection will arrive at my door today. Glad to hear "new" music from her!
I'm an old time LR fan who's been to many of her concerts including this one for her album, Cry Like a Rainstorm. Personally, I think she peaked as a singer during her previous album, Get Closer and this one. She seemed to be in complete control of her voice and singing and the materials were first rate. Would have liked to see and hear her perform Shattered, a real tear jerker of a song.
Do you think it could be because she mostly covered songs and did not write her own music? I mean, she wasn't a songwriter-and why wouldn't this glorious voice be enough? But sometimes things like that seem to matter-just a thought.
this glorious voice IS enough. she wrote 1 song i think and co-wrote a couple, elvis didnt write but a few and sinatra wrote none. they were interpreters
So so sad that this has come to an abrupt end due to the onset of parkinson's disease. Ella Fitzgerald's voice began to deteriorate in the 70s due to diabetes. Don't try telling me there's a God.
Only Ms. Ronstadt can take a song, any song, and record it beautifully, and sing it LIVE, and transcend it to the HEAVENS...

One of the best songs Linda has ever recorded! A truly fine performance. Thankyou for sharing it with us.
Amazing! No other singer comes close to Ms. Ronstadt.

I was at the same show for my 30th birthday! It was the old Scioto Downs race track.
All I can say is "WOW". Best female vocalist pipes in the biz. Such a beautiful song and soooo powerfully sung. Thanks for posting!
a lovely job.. another Jimmy Webb masterpiece ...so simple and pure... so real... timeless... love you Linda... damn Parkinson's.
I remember hearing this song growing up with my mom listening to it as she would clean the house. Although i acted like i didn't like it, I'm a thirty year old male and i love Linda Ronstadt's voice, mom knew good music, I've finally learned.
For just standing there and singing, I don't think there has ever been a more beautiful voice.
All I can say is "Wow." I have seen this woman 39 times live in my lifetime and I never had the pleasure of hearing this live. There is absolutely not another voice on the planet like this.
I heard her do it live in 1990 when she was on tour promoting the "Cry Like A Rainstorm, Howl Like The Wind" album. It was just awesome.

Staggering Voice...

Just goosebumps and tears, the most incredible voice of al time, i love her so!

Its PSP Linda has, not MS.
Good lord - her singing voice is amazing. So rich, round and pure.
Unbelievable voice! I forgot how much I love this song and HER.
Years later now, when I hear this song, i get goose bumps.
A total triumph.
I have to find my CD of the Rainstorm album. It's a total gem. Linda was never in better voice and the material is fantastic.
One of the few singers who actually sounded BETTER live than on record!! Still depressed she is retired! :(
Jimmy Webb's signature song - soaring melody and vocally challenging. Linda can pull this one off so effortlessly. This is one of my favourite songs by Webb.
We can all be glad we have the records and all of these videos on youtube that have saved the gift that was her voice.

TJ Wash, you do a wonderful job describing Ms. Ronstadt's magic!
fantastic song and an unbelieveable performance.... outstanding!
Her voice was truly incredible from a time in our history when singers had to sing. Women like Linda, Ann Wilson and Pat Benatar set the bar so high.
in her later years, the Jimmy Webb set was my favorite - this one utterly slayed the audience - wish that I could hear it again
One of the greatest vocalists EVER!
Oh I love this one. I am living for your videos tonight!
How incredible, shes simply phenomenal.
Always been a huge Linda fan - and I adore this one live - absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous vocal - thank you!
@RonNYC100 Rainstorm is one of my all time favorite CDs EVER. Agree about the goosebumps. Jimmy Webb really had a way with a song.
Astounding ....

Linda live! As great as she was on record, the countless UA-cam videos of her live, well...Live Record anyone??
I have to agree with the other two posters here. What a powerhouse performance. I have always loved this song by Linda.
I am shedding a little tear for things that are no more 😞
I was so sad when I heard the news. Absolutely broke my heart
Awesome. One of my favorite linda ronstadt songs.

"Still" at the end of the song send shivers down my spine.
This woman have one of the most incrédible voice ever and the intelligence of how to use it through music ...extrêmely talented
Let's get Linda in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!! What is up with that!????
Supurb album but this song is my absolute favourite. Amazing.
@sescalante100 You are right; inspite of the fact that this is not a "professional" recording of her live concert--makes not difference; her Voice still sears the soul...
Of all the singers who should have done a live album, she's the one. I'm hoping one of her labels has one in the can that they will release now.
Linda's artistic integrity wouldn't allow her to just go for the $.
+christopher jones yes, great integrity, I was thinking it would have been a gift to her fans to hear a live concert recording. The Trio collection will arrive at my door today. Glad to hear "new" music from her!
TJ Wash I admit, I never heard Linda say what I said, just my thoughts.
I saw her in San Diego, September 1990
Yeah--what a voice!
Yes, "Shattered" is a tearjerker, but not nearly as much as this song!
Totally agree with you. Unique.
Linda Ronstadt the O.G Queen 🙌🏾👑💗
AWESOME!

@fpngan Spot on mate I agree with you 120% they ALL should be in the hall of
fame.
I am struggling with this. I have never heard it before. It is clearly Linda but I am guessing I will never hear it again,
The Mary Wilson version of this is excellent.
yeah, I agree qimissung; when you have THE voice, as Ms. Ronstadt does, what difference does it make if she writes hers songs or not?
Brilliant!! Any more vids from this concert?
And did for 30 years and now he is done😓
Here's the saddest news: Linda Ronstadt has announced that she now has Parkinson's Disease and cannot sing a note. That is a crime.
Do you think it could be because she mostly covered songs and did not write her own music? I mean, she wasn't a songwriter-and why wouldn't this glorious voice be enough? But sometimes things like that seem to matter-just a thought.
this glorious voice IS enough. she wrote 1 song i think and co-wrote a couple, elvis didnt write but a few and sinatra wrote none. they were interpreters
So so sad that this has come to an abrupt end due to the onset of parkinson's disease.
Ella Fitzgerald's voice began to deteriorate in the 70s due to diabetes.
Don't try telling me there's a God.
Lighting is terrible, can hardly see her.
Madonna's in the Hall of Fame, but none of these brilliant ladies. Yup...I'd say that's B.S. alright.
Nope, along with Heart and Pat Benatar, all three are missing from there. A bunch of bullshit if you ask me.
