@@Kenny-ll7dn Yes, and she did it all with authenticity. Every genere she sung it she did with complete authenticity. It was extraordinary to watch and listen.
I like how the guitar was screaming and crying in the same passion as the lead vocals of one of the greatest voices ever captured on film. Thanks for bringing back good memories of the '80s!
Think it's Danny Kortchmar. Remember reading her say that his playing brought out something in her voice she needed for this song. He's still playing in a group called "The Immediate Family" with Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel, Wally Wachtel and Steve Postell.
Such a beautiful, heartbreaking song - and delivered perfectly by the gorgeous Linda Ronstadt. This song portrays the raw, desperate pleas of abject despair that I'd dare say most of us have uttered from our knees at some painful time or other in our lives.Bravo Linda!😎👍
This song gives me the shivers; Linda's passion, the searing guitar solo and the final NOOOOOO. A truly unique talent never to be seen or heard again. She knows what lines and words to emphasize in this soaring anthem of broken heartedness
To add to that I was just listening to little Anthony's version . It sounded flat and in no way compares to Linda's version. Linda is one of the great female singers of all time . She is often underrated and deserves far more recognition . Sydney Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘 6/12/2023
Danny Kortchmar blows me away with his strat here. Incredible solo, conveying the dark, hurt emotions of a scorned lover. The chorus riff reminds me of "One of these nights" by the Eagles.
...MY INTRODUCTION, to "80's Linda"; ...I knew of her 70's stuff, but, THIS SONG....the moody vibe, the SCORCHING guitar, the 'rock chick' vocals...It was on my Aunt's (RIP) "Greatest Hits, Vol. 2" LP, and, I played it over, over & OVER....LOVED the short, 'little boy' haircut on Linda, too..... this was the personification of Spring, 1980, to me.....Hurt so BAD!? ..Hurts so GOOD.....
@@chriscooper7642 Ronstadt never took a singing lesson until she did Pirates of Penzance in the summer of 1980. This is recorded in 1979 and Linda was a super powerful singer going back to her earliest days in Tucson. She has stated that those voice sessions gave her more colors in her pipes.
Russ Kunkel's drumming on this song is fantastic; powerful and yet still sensitive in the right moments. And Linda's scorching vocals along with Korchner's scorching guitar work made this live version one of her best. What a vocalist and what an amazing band!
Danny Kortchmar’s guitar work on this song is gorgeously blistering, perfectly accenting the angst and anguish of the lyrics. A wonderful song and performance from Linda. I played this album (Mad Love) more times than I could ever count, back in ‘80.
Throughout her career, Linda caught flack for doing so many remakes. Well, she very often improved on the original...case in point, this searing performance. What so many critics seemed not to understand is that she was always an interpretive singer, like Sinatra and Tony Bennett and others , only she applied her talents to a huge range of different styles, unparalleled really. She is consistently underrated.
most critics of covers or anything can't sing a note, or cannot sing as good as this, so screw the critics...armchair quarterbacks. IMO as far as improving songs that were well written is almost impossible. Often that is based on one's musical preference, and out of context of the time it was written and how people sang in that era. how they produced records with less technology. Rather than improvement I would use the word "reinterpretation." Little Anthony and the Imperials' version is merely slower, with an orchestra and harmony singers instead of screaming guitar, of which at the time there was really no such thing. Little Anthony was no slouch of a vocalist, he was a bad ass.
You sound like an amazing person!.As a teen I fell in love with this music My Dad would correct me and say it has been out there for years. He was a huge Tony Bennett fan
Oh my god - just like the recording! Same key - same emotion and all the points hit exactly where you’re familiar with it so you can feel it live! That’s what people want when they see someone live! They want to relive it exactly the way they’ve always felt it - they want the artist to be able to do that in front of them so they can feel “their” song in a totally submersible experience.
It was said Linda had perfect pitch, I often felt She did not always “push” her voice, but when She did, such as this sone, it was pure magic. As a Teen I was in love with her!
Yes she did grab your heart. There is something in her voice that just makes me cry. She can do rock queen, she can do big ballad, she can do opera even but when she sings those pared-down little songs of love and loss or folk songs about people down on their luck or doomed (Louisa), I just want to cry. It is the depth of emotion in her voice.
Omg how did I never come across this before. Pure gold. Best female voice I have ever heard. Awesome guitar. Don't (cant) make them like this anymore...
Trademark vocals!!!! Unmistakable Linda Ronstadt!!!!!! Great to see she was honored at the Kennedy Center along with Earth Wind and Fire and Sally Field. So miss the 70s.
This is certainly the definitive recording of "Hurts So Bad". However, here Linda has to share the credit with Mr. Danny Kortchmar. The sound of his guitar on this recording is unbelievable. Actually, it's my favorite guitar part ever.
Yep, even hearing it now years later brought it all back. Amazing how guitars can sound, thanks for the credit, voice and instrument amazing. I remember having to finish hearing it on the radio evertime and I hadn't allowed myself to really grieve yet in life till years later but this song sent me there anyway, and wonderfully so, its part of life.
He's in love don't stand his way.. My favorite line of the song. I used that line sarcasmly in the past . I love her so beautuful, strong , and full of emotion. We all have been there !!!
Once Linda covers a song, it's hers. Case closed.
Gorgeous important pipes. If you aren't listening to Ronstadt you're not as cool as you think you are. Very special- now more than ever.
I am happy to know that me being as cool as I think I am has not yet been ruled out.
Listen to her every day, so I am cool every day 😅
One of the best female artists ever. Who's listening to this gem in 2024?
Northern Michigan here- she’s the Greatest ! ❤️
Alabama loving Linda!
Me too
mee too from malaysia my dear..❤❤❤
Linda Ronstadt is what the universe creates when it's showing off. Rare. Real and Remarkable.

Agreed 💜
The greatest, most diverse female vocalist of her generation.
Of any generation to date.
Of any generation to date.
This girl could and did sing anything--anything--better than any song stylist of her era and probably any era. Period.
I totally agree with you and let me add she had the it factor and could adjust to any genre of music. Kenny d.
@@Kenny-ll7dn Yes, and she did it all with authenticity. Every genere she sung it she did with complete authenticity. It was extraordinary to watch and listen.
The lady...the voice...the song...the guitar...what more do you seek?
Linda? do you realize how BEAUTIFUL you are are?
While on vacation in The Philippines this past February, I heard this repeatedly on their oldies station in Southeast Asia. Ronstadt sells it!
That distortion in her voice at the end when she shouts "NO! Noooooo!" is both luscious and face-melting at the same time. What a voice.
as dolly said, linda could sing any type of music and sound fantastic, (paraphrase mine)
I love the guitars in this song with her Beautiful voice. We need Music like this again in 2024 but wont happen :(
LINDA RONSTADT LIVES FOREVER.🙏🙏🙏🙏🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️
Tears in my eyes I never saw her live
One of the all time greatest female vocalists. At her peak just phenomenal power and range and could do all genres which was extraordinary!
Big Time Loved herplayed her as DJ yeh
totally agree with you wonderful vocal range
Love that
Grab the microphone and sing your heart out. What a concept. No one did it better than Linda.
This song can completely break me down
Boy does she get it. My favorite lady.
What a fantastic record... with that intense electric guitar.
Singing in two octaves WOW baby !
I love how "Please don't go - please don't go" harmonizes/blends perfectly with the guitar riff 1:41 Great song - pure, raw angst and heartbreak...
I like how the guitar was screaming and crying in the same passion as the lead vocals of one of the greatest voices ever captured on film. Thanks for bringing back good memories of the '80s!
Guitar was screaming at me! Love it.
I agree!
It was perfect. The great Danny Kortchmar on guitar.
Danny Kortchmar making that strat sing like Linda's singular voice. So poignant, so plaintive. the pain is palpable...Incredible song.
The guitar in this song is one of the coolest of any song.
Think it's Danny Kortchmar. Remember reading her say that his playing brought out something in her voice she needed for this song. He's still playing in a group called "The Immediate Family" with Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkel, Wally Wachtel and Steve Postell.
what pipes on that woman!
My wife passes,5 weeks later I wake up and this song is in my head,,out the blue,I go on youtube and there it is.. Linda .Mind BLOWN.
Blessings
Synchronicity
First time i heard this version ,i was on acid,too cool 😎🎇🎆

One of the greatest
Every radio station played her beautiful songs, from ballads to pure rock and roll..live long Linda Rondstat..You helped define a generation ❤
her pipes are incredible, magic... I read somewhere she said.. my job is to make people cry and she does me
No one compares to her. God gave us one of her and I am truly grateful.
Linda and Laura Nero were both gifts for us to cherish. Kd.
Does not get any better than this
Come back at hurts so bad!! POWERFUL!!!
my fav female vocalist
The great Danny “Kootch” Kortchmar on lead guitar. Russ Kunkel on drums Bob Glaub on bass Dan Dugmore guitar
thAnk Uuu
sO' much ‼️
.i was trying to find out who everyone else was
for this *')/ \¡¡/
😊
Linda and Little Anthony both own and rule this overwhelming powerful and beautiful song, just in different ways. Both versions are at the top....
This song gives me the shivers; Linda's passion, the searing guitar solo and the final NOOOOOO. A truly unique talent never to be seen or heard again. She knows what lines and words to emphasize in this soaring anthem of broken heartedness
Absolutely Doug
Awesome take 👍
You said almost exactly what I was thinking watching this video 😃
I think she was heartbroken over that snake Jerry Brown when she sang this👈
@@lindabergman3127 she had a great set of lungs on this one.. I was 16 when this song played on my A.M radio lol
She did everything right . Great mind and very intelligent lady. Bless you Linda ronstandt
"Come Back it Hurts So Bad".......OMG ❤
Here we have the true definition of belting out a song.
One of my favorites singers! So much emotion!
Linda one of the very few female vocalist with a five octave range. Very few female singers have achieved that vocal dream.
Beautiful!
Linda completely ruled her era, just a superb singer. It didn't hurt to be surrounded by some of the best musicians in the business.
They sought her out. She was pure gold. Her pipes were magical.

She's the best~~Got goosebumps when she hit the high note and get teary eyed when I listen to her songs~~I mean like, what a voice~~💓💓💓
Feeling depressed. This song came to me. Love Linda.

Friends don't tell friends this song played 43 years ago.
It's a Timeless Classic!!!
Please don't go😢

Linda, you are the greatest singer ever. Thank you so much. This song is so good. The true Queen .❤
Gorgeous honesty in her powerful voice. She never seems to strain - just great natural singing.
Sally Sheridan actually, Linda R took opera singing lessons. This is how she is able to have such power behind her voice
wow she can belt out a song!!!! there is nothing out there now that comes close to this
The best

Still so good!
Love how that Rhodes electric piano sounds. Love its thick chorus. 🎹
Beautiful
that song and her voice sent shivers down my spine...i was going thru my first divorce...what a voice and woman...
Great Singer. Gorgeous pipes no matter what she wrapped them around. Superior to her contemporaries and without modern day peers.
Russ kunkle is still one of the best drummers around .
😍😍😍 my song
what a voice! what a song!
Greatest singer of all time.Not just a sweet pretty voice, she can really sing. And she can sing country, pop, rock, soul, duets, trio.
How great and wonderful...Three guitarist!!! Danny!!!!!!!! Dan!!!! and Mark!!!
Linda's voice is awesome
Still have this record in great shape. ❤❤
Linda has a powerful voice
In my opinion she is and always will be the queen of rock n roll. You are Great 👍. My prayers are with you.
I love her and this song.
So glad I know this music..
there will never be another voice like Linda's.....
Correct...it breaks my heart to see her stricken w illness
Very nice version by a talented lady. And those guitars !
Russ Kunkel's drumming on this song is fantastic; powerful and yet still sensitive in the right moments. And Linda's scorching vocals along with Korchner's scorching guitar work made this live version one of her best. What a vocalist and what an amazing band!
Masterpiece.
I can’t believe a beautiful woman can sing so beautifully she’s so pure and the coolest female singer of all time
Linda sings so beautifully so effortless!!!
I just heard this song for the first time over the weekend. LOVE IT!!
I'm glad you heard it!
@@summerbreeze-d2l Thank you! I really am too! Its now in my music library and has been listened to a LOT
Awesome perfect......
It took me 2 minutes in to realize it wasn't lip synching! Man, they were tight.
No, Linda would not need to lip sync.
Fantastic live vocals and intense electric guitar playing, both soaring majestic, bursting from their souls, "Oh...No...Nooooooo" > 2:58
Pure Emotion in Her Voice. Gives me chills.
Exactly, me too.. wish I had the nerve to send this to my ex husband but it wouldn’t matter, it’s too late.
Such a talent. Wow.
She truly nailed a Little Anthony and The Imperials cover. Her own punk rock version. I love this song ❤️.
Doesn't get any better than this !!

For many years people cover other peoples songs
Oh my god - just like the recording!

Great guitar and a lead singer to die for. Linda was in a vocal universe all her own.
I wish Linda could sing today!

Grace and beauty,how refreshing
No one could touch Linda. Her vocal chops are remarkable. Her ability to grab your heart was very rare.
Zeke Gabriel Linda, Olivia, Dolly, Karen, Emmylou, Pat, Helen, Anne, I Could Go On. THESE Are Some Great Female Voices.
@@richardkaltenbach3961 Most of those girls couldn't carry her microphone. Karen Carpenter, Anne Murray? - cornball schlock. Not in Ronstadt's league.

She’s simply the best.
Trademark vocals!!!! Unmistakable Linda Ronstadt!!!!!! Great to see she was honored at the Kennedy Center along with Earth Wind and Fire and Sally Field. So miss the 70s.
Linda had the knack of making a song hers. Most of the time they were as good or if not better than the originals, this being a case in point.
Linda and her musicians took me there. I have never come back since. That guitar, that voice; raw emotion.
This is certainly the definitive recording of "Hurts So Bad". However, here Linda has to share the credit with Mr. Danny Kortchmar. The sound of his guitar on this recording is unbelievable. Actually, it's my favorite guitar part ever.
Linda agrees with you. She said this was her favorite, too.
Have you heard Grant Green's awesome jazz version from 1969?
Danny is severely underrated and under appreciated. You are right. This is gold..
