It was Willie Nelson who said that there are kinds of men in this world: Those who are in love with Linda Ronstadt, and Those who have never heard of her.
No overpowering lights, smoke or giggly dancers. Just a tight band and a singer that could knock your socks off. Damn, I miss those day when you had actual talent out there just belting out songs.
Waddy up there killing it with his 59 Les Paul, burning up the stage. Linda was an absolute beauty in those days. Those days were so much better then the days we're all in now. The music at it's worst dusted the music of today.
Superb gem of a woman , singer, songwriter, a natural talent to the world!!! Surely, Martha Reeves gave her every bit of permission to sing this anywhere, everywhere. God bless her. Still great even if Parkinsons robbed her voice. Outstanding author as well. "Simple Dreams" , baby!!

What idiots gave this a thumbs down? Seriously? Followed her forever & Linda has always been beautifully artistic. Very sad she will never sing again. We love ya Linda
Whew - that was a delight!!!! I agree if you are not listening to Ronstadt in 2015 you are not as groovy as you think you are. She rocks, rolls and sings her heart out.
I just covered this song yesterday in a nursing home. At 10 in the a.m., the song held the audience fully awake, no small feat in this kind of facility :).
una mckillen There is only one or two people, when they sing it, no matter who else has it's hers. She is one of those people,. Elvis did that. Who else?
***** It really is like sex. Linda has something she does I cant explain, but it's just better. And then I have been with beautiful women and if not for their beauty, they would be average. Then there are women that go out of their way to make it great, and that is Linda. Never assuming it's good. lol
I so agree. I first became aware of Linda in the early 80s but it is only in the last 3 years I have appreciated the stunning brilliance of her band. Yes, she could sing anything and in most cases better than the originals (and that is rare) but they had to reproduce the sound too and to perfection and they did. Those guys were amazing.
woodrow martha is a damn no talent joke. She has always sucked and I only know heat wave from.martha. As a 24 year old I have to say Linda is MUCH better.
It's performances like this one that made her the biggest female singer in the music business throughout most of the 1970s. She was (& still is, I think) great!
The only performer I've seen who can take the songs of others and make them her own. Ask people who sang Heatwave, Back In the USA, When Will I Be Loved, Hurts So Bad, EVEN Tumbling Dice, 80% of them will say Linda.
@ShockDoc I agree big time. Prisoner in Disguise was the Lp and it was recorded in 1975. Andrew Gold played piano, drums and guitar on the Heat Wave cut. His lead ride rocked.
I saw Linda Ronstadt at the Universal Amphitheater. She was wearing a Cub Scout where the pants were shorty shorts and high heels. The hottest look ever!
Wow! If you ain't up dancing or grinding in your seat to the beat, you must be dead. Thank you, Andrew Gold. We love you and miss you, beautiful child.
What a voice! Great Job! Just needed AndrewGold playing guitar is all for a more melodic , tighter performance. But what a tremendous vocal! Way to go Linda🌹
It is great to hear this song,and see Andrew Gold as well. RIP Andrew, you left us far too soon. Takes me back to a great time in my life- thanks for this post !
Aggghh!!! Linda we love you!!! Try listening to "You're No Good" video with the late Andrew Gold on lead guitar! June 3rd 2011 he passed away, I just found out myself right now! I did a search on him.............omfg...........shit..I'm shocked... gotta shed some tears friends.........He was such an awesome musician and will be sorely missed.
Back to the music, she was/is one of a kind, a beautiful person physically and otherwise-and what a set of pipes!! (I mean, her vocal cords... :O) I love you Linda!!
Buddy you are a fukin riot! that was 37 years ago........But, she was the hottest thang going back then. She was The Queen Of Rock for the decade of the 70's.
My thoughts exactly.......Linda was and still is a natural beauty. I loved the crooked teeth too! She has the most amazing hypnotic eyes, luscious lips, and a smile that could light up a room. Not to mention, intelligence, sweetness, class, and just God-given talent. She is the total package. Can't find a woman like that today.
Somebody already listed the names of everyone on stage so I won't go over it again, but the pedigree of that band is just incredible. It's the one thing I always loved about James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Linda, Carole King, Stevie Nicks, et al., is that they surrounded themselves with the absolute best in the business at bringing out the best in their material; and a lot of the time, it was all the same people! LOL!!!
desertswo JAMES TAYLOR STEVY NIX AND CAROL KING ARE THREE OF THE BIGGEST JOKES OF ALL TIME IN ANY GENRE. THEY NEVER HAD AN OUNCE OF TALENT AT ALL IN ANY OF THEIR CAREERS. I AM ONLY 24 AND KNOW GOOD MUSIC (LINDA MARIA RONSTADT AND JACKSON WHATEVER HIS MIDDLE NAME IS BROWNE) AND SUCKY SHIT THAT IS AS FAR FROM MUSIC AS YOU CAN GET (JAMES TAYLOR STEVY NIX AND CAROL KING) WHEN I HEAR IT.
no sorry....this girl will never make it. no lip synching, no auto tune, no dancers, no video screen, she's just relying on her awesome talent and stage presence with no gimmicks. RIP Andrew Gold and Kenny Edwards in her backing band.
It was Willie Nelson who said that there are kinds of men in this world: Those who are in love with Linda Ronstadt, and Those who have never heard of her.
TWO kinds of men... sorry.
No overpowering lights, smoke or giggly dancers.

one of the best female singers and also one of the most beautiful. don't see many like her anymore👍💕
Not one of the best. The best female singer of the 20th century!
Correct AND CORRECT♥️💜💕💙
A vocalist of extreme talent. Great ears, great bands, killer pipes and hardcore adorable.
Superb gem of a woman , singer, songwriter, a natural talent to the world!!! Surely, Martha Reeves gave her every bit of permission to sing this anywhere, everywhere. God bless her. Still great even if Parkinsons robbed her voice. Outstanding author as well. "Simple Dreams" , baby!!
I was sitting in 3rd row center at this concert. Will remember it forever!!
One of the greatest female voices ever!
Great pipes, great natural charm - she is as gloriously wonderful as anything American music has delivered to this planet. Interesting chick as well.
She's Canadian I believe.
@@michaelgieseking77 Nope, she was born in the USA, I think she is from Texas, German and Mexican descent.

Linda Ronstadt kickin' ass again !!!! What an awesome girl !!

Saw Linda many times. Never a bad show. I was crazy for her. ❤❤❤❤❤
She's fabulous..they dont make em like her anymore
She always had great taste in the choices of covers she did. This song takes me back to a very happy time in my life too
Best female singer of all time.
She sings the greats better than the greats. No-one can touch her.

Ronnie Bishop I would say Patsy Cline or Karen Carpenter as well.
Ronnie Bishop How disgusting.
One of the best singers ever.
BRAVO,nice singing and dancing ,good song too,nice to hear it,......

...one of greatest voices forever ;-)
Not a performer like her around for 20 years. Linda has versatility without studio tricks!! THE voice.
If you wanted someone to "cover" a song, she was the QUEEN!
With all due respect to Martha Revees and those Vandellas - Linda just rocks it here and brings us to a happy place in our 70s soul.
woodrow martha is a damn no talent joke. She has always sucked and I only know heat wave from.martha. As a 24 year old I have to say Linda is MUCH better.
What a sweet voice, the kind that doesn't cause inner ear bleeds (a la Mariah Carey)
Great lyrics, vocals and guitar...doesn't get much better😊
It's performances like this one that made her the biggest female singer in the music business throughout most of the 1970s. She was (& still is, I think) great!
She still IS! Turned 77 on July 15th, 2023.
I luv Linda too....funny ppl use to say I looked like her... What a wonderful compliment... I luv singing her songs... She rocks! ;o)
All in for Linda.
Wow, what a voice she had in her prime!
The only performer I've seen who can take the songs of others and make them her own. Ask people who sang Heatwave, Back In the USA, When Will I Be Loved, Hurts So Bad, EVEN Tumbling Dice, 80% of them will say Linda.
+Ken Perk Check out Joan Osbourne performing Heatwave with the Funk Brothers, she nails it!
Sinatra could do that too
@@Madminute1968 She is ok but not as good as Linda
what a voice!
Your fans r always with u. Stay strong Linda.
Awww damn....What a voice, what a babe, what a band, what a song....never seen nor heard betterr... not even close
Linda Ronstadt = an angel from Tucson with wonderful voice and captivating face.
Ronstadt Singing-----"like a Canary In Heat !"
----Powerhouse Voice !
Linda almost has a 'growl' in her voice at times. Thank God for videos to always enjoy her Music.
A. honest true legendary American female Vocalist 😎😎😎😎😎
Wow her voice just knocks me out! Always loved her....
@ShockDoc I agree big time. Prisoner in Disguise was the Lp and it was recorded in 1975. Andrew Gold played piano, drums and guitar on the Heat Wave cut. His lead ride rocked.
Damn but she can really belt it out...
I love this song... and Linda...!
Beautiful lady, awesome performer. Always had a crush on Linda.
I saw Linda Ronstadt at the Universal Amphitheater. She was wearing a Cub Scout where the pants were shorty shorts and high heels. The hottest look ever!
Wow! If you ain't up dancing or grinding in your seat to the beat, you must be dead. Thank you, Andrew Gold. We love you and miss you, beautiful child.
I love Waddy on the guitar in her shows!!
+Michelle Grace Andrew Gold playing as well...so good
What a voice!
Great Job!
Just needed AndrewGold playing guitar is all for a more melodic , tighter performance.
But what a tremendous vocal!
Way to go Linda🌹
yeah i was wanting to hear Andrew's solo also but Waddy did a good job with his own, not quite as melodic
As usual, when Ronstadt covers a song, it is better than the original artist's version.
Greatest chick singer "evah"!
Loved the song..never seen her perform it until now…cool Pretzel…thanks
It is great to hear this song,and see Andrew Gold as well. RIP Andrew, you left us far too soon. Takes me back to a great time in my life- thanks for this post !
Great voice!! Miss Linda a lot. I wish she would come out with a new CD.
God that sounds so good.
sweet she is and sweet she sings ....loved my listen ....:))
I love her - she just puts it out there, never holds back.
Grew up on this music,,, awesome solid voice man,, not like the girls these days all sound the same,,, this is real singing man,, she is the bomb!!!

I'm feeling a heat wave right now from looking at and listening to her.
My BF works nights he is a Police Officer I miss him he is def like a Heat Wave!! 💯❤💖
Linda Ronstadt rocks! If you ain't listening to her you are not that cool after all.
So sweet and plain.
Thank you so, so much for uploading this concert, it's given me hours of entertainment. I never get bored of marvelling at Linda's brilliance!
I want to her crazy singing and dancing
Those pipes!
