Dam I’m glad I was a child of the 70’s. How lucky was I to have songs like this being released every week.
Me too
You are so right!! I was a child of the 50's 60's and early 70's(entered adulthood in mid 70's). I am so thrilled that the later generations are beginning to love OUR music.
Born in 59- graduated high school in 77
I was born in 1952 and moved to the San Francisco Peninsula in late 1967. San Francisco was a rock and roll mecca during the time I lived there, until 1977. So many great performers and venues during the Bill Graham era, mostly at Filmore West and Winterland. But one of the most memorable shows I went to was seeing Linda in the early seventies, at the Lion's Share in San Anselmo, just north of the city. It is a small club where incidentally they held Janis Joplin's wake. Our table was center stage, just a few feet from the stage.
Me too. And then being a teen in the 80's. The hits just wouldn't stop.
There is a good reason she is in the Rock And Roll hall of Fame.
Why waste this fantastic performance by mentioning that shambolic organisation!!!, Glen Fry hit the nail on the head!!!
Lonnnnnng overdue
Absolutely, but just vas an aside I would have loved to see James Brown do this song.
Long long time is one of her best ballads
Here's another vote for "La Charreada" or "La Cigarra" (or both) sung in Spanish by Linda. They both really show off her powerful voice.
I am with you on this songs.
"La Charreada" is another number where you really want the live version, on stage with a mariachi band and some other performers.
Being one that was old enough to follow her from early on... We got hooked for her from her first hit with the band Stone Poneys .....with their song: Different Drum. (Every boys heart breaker)
I was one of those boys
Count me as one that had and still has a crush on Linda.
@@paulr.3220same
Different Drum written by Monkee Mike Nesmith.
The songs that you would call “oldies “ are the best when there was true talent. Amazing vocals and no auto tune or technology, just great artists. You would enjoy more 60’s and 70’s.
Linda was one of those very rare artists who could sing absolutely anything she wanted to sing. Anywhere from Country to Pop to Mariachi to opera. It is a shame that her illness took her voice from us.
The Midnight Special had great artists and allowed us to see them enjoy them every week. It was amazing!
And live! No lip synch. Sound engineers on here were awesome!
Truth.
The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. Those were the days!!
@@davidboivin7996 💯‼😎
That’s Don Felder (guitar) and Don Henley (drums) from the Eagles
The official version of this is actually a live performance from a 1977 tour, and is much longer with an extended break.
It is also performed to perfection.
I was at the St Paul stop on thar tour.
That's the downside of The Midnight Special (and other similar shows) performances. Most of the time, they either abbreviate the songs or the artists speed them up, to fit within the allotted time they were given.
Different Drum, Heat Wave, Desperado. All big hits for Linda.
Linda was also the crush of many a young man (yeah, me too...😅 ). Glad you enjoyed guys!
I had dibs on her at age 14! Sadly, she never accepted my many marriage proposals. Nor anyone else's.
This woman could sing the phone book and be great. 😊
They probably don't know what a phone book is...😁😂🤣
@@joealvarez8733lol
Long, Long Time by Linda is my favorite.
Anything recorded on The Midnight Special is gold
Her cover of Tracks of My Tears in the recording studio is awesome 😎
Jeff Skunk Baxter on the congas. He is mainly a guitar player who was a original member of Steely Dan and then joined The Doobie Brothers.
Also did studio work, worked with Roland on synthesizers, etc. and is a missile-defense expert. Apparently he also worked with the LAPD for 15 years.
Lol, I thought that dude was a ringer, but it's him.
Oh, by the way, he was a consultant on missiles with the government too.
@@jimgore1278 yep, he has quite the resume.
@@dennisshaper4744 yep, he has quite the resume.
Linda goes all-out country on Silver Threads And Golden Needles.
Glenn Frey, and Don Henley ( Founders of the Eagles) were a part of Linda's backing Band...and wanted to perform as their own band....they asked her for her blessing to leave, she of course said yes.
❤
This was the song that got me into Linda Ronstadt. The best thing about The Midnight Special is that these were live performances, no overdubs or lipsync stuff.
This is probably one of the best live versions of You're No Good. Man I miss being a kid waiting to see who was going to be on that show each week.
It was short because they had to write songs for the 3 minutes 20 seconds that would guarantee radio play.
Linda Ronstadt and Mariachi Vargas - La Charreada will blow your mind.
The greatest most versatile female vocalist of her generation.
Linda Ronstadt is awesome, she has an outstanding voice and musical ability. She can sing any song in any genre great and she can also transform songs that have been recorded by other artists into her very own and her covers are outstanding! React to her cover of Heatwave, great life performance as always.
Back in the day Willie Nelson said there are two kinds of men in this world, those that are in love with Linda Ronstadt and those that don't know her.
Anything sung by this legend is worth listening to! Thanks for the reaction.
In the immortal words of Dolly Parton, “Linda could sing ANYTHING.”
The lady in gold is Clydie King( Nic name "Brown Sugar")....an incredible singer herself...she had a solo career and sang backup/harmonies with the greatest of all times...including Bob Dylan. Others included: B.B King, Ray Charles, Barbara Striesand, Joe Cocker, Rolling Stones, Steely Dan...just to name a few.
Lynyrd Skynyrd also. Sweet Home Alabama
Yep, she looked familiar, couldn't remember her name.
Exploring Linda Ronstadt's sterling voice & vocal versatility will never disappoint 👍
They are so surprised on Linda’s voice range….well her voice went into these genre’s…..Latin, Folk, Progressive, Country, Rock, Pop, Classical, Big Band, Opera, also took her voice into Broadway Plays….”The Pirates Of Penzance”…..she won the Tony Award for her performance
"Progressive"???
Saw her live twice once in the 70’s and again in the 80’s
She is 5'2". This was fun to hear and see, although the studio version is tighter and has a great extended instrumental outro. To hear Linda sing a most beautiful hit ballad, see the video of her live TV performance of Long Long Time. It is very very impressive. Also, her first hit (1967 when she was 20-21) was Different Drum when she was with the Stone Poneys. Fun Facts: She was friendly with the Eagles and they were very briefly her backup band and she has the largest-selling Spanish language album ever sold in the U.S.
Long Long time, Love has no pride, Tumbling Dice, Different Drum, and her amazing version of the Dolly Parton song I Will always love you. Just to name a few you cannot go wrong with anything you pick from Linda.
You forgot her cover of Heatwave.
This couple is steadily entertaining! Great job!
🤘👽🤘Linda's the best...glad you did this one...my mom's favorite...
I cant wait for your reaction to the 1977 live version of Someone To Lay Down Beside Me in Atlanta. And definitely check out live or studio versions of Long, Long Time as well as Tumbling Dice.
My introduction to Linda was a hit in the 1960s with the Stone Ponies called Different Drum which you'd also enjoy!
Written by Michael Nesmith of the Monkees
@@SBel65 Thanks for that info!
Real talent. real musicians. Real singers. No auto tune
I love the studio version the best....the last minute of the record is one of the best outros of any song ever. The guitar, keyboards, clapping and strings gives me goosebumps....so haunting.
Glenn Frey left the studio where he worked with Linda Ronstadt and he helped form the Eagles. The Eagles wrote a song called "Desperado" and Linda Ronstadt did a cover of it. After Glenn Frey heard Linda's version of "Desperado" he told her it was her song from that point on - at least that's how the story goes. You should definitely do "Desperado" next, either the Midnight Special or the studio version.
I concur. That version will bring tears of shear joy.
the most excited I have ever seen/heard Sam!!!!!
Linda Ronstadt was a master of several genres of music. She could effortlessly do Rock, Country, Broadway, and even Big Band (Swing) standards as well as Mexican Folk music. No surprise, she was the biggest selling, and most successful, Female performer of the 1970's, as well as the most versatile.
I loved her when I was a kid in the 70s and still love her. Great reaction!
Ive seen it several times in the comments, being a child of the 70's you got to experience some of the most amazing music ever recorded. Linda was just a fantastic artist. That huge voice coming out of that little lady. Im really enjoying your channel. Seeing you two fall in love with this great music hits me right in the heart.
Look forward to your next video!
"La Charreada" will knock your socks off.
She's the GOAT. Period. Thanks for another great reaction!
Yes, Midnight Special in the US and the Old Grey Whistle Test in the UK have provided us with some of the best and most intimate live performances on tv.
Best vocalist ever!
"Desparado". Written by The Eagles but made even more popular by Linda.
Peace, Love!!
I remember when this came out. Great artist.
Linda's rendition of Blue Bayou is considered country rock, which is rock songs played with country instruments. Linda along with other artists of the LA music scene of the late 60s and early 70s developed the genre.
You're No Good was previously recorded by Dee Dee Warwick, older sister to Dione Warwick, in 1963 or 4. It's not the only Mo-Town song Linda covered. At the time of this show in 1973 Linda had not recorded Your No Good yet. She had been using the song to close out her shows for her "Don't Cry Now" album tour. It was the last song that she added to her breakout album "Heart Like a Wheel". In late Nov of 1974 it and another song from the album, "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love With You) were released to radio on the same day. YNG to rock/pop radio and ICHI to country radio. By February the next year both songs had rocketed to the top of the charts. YNG was at the top of Rock and R&B charts while ICHI was at the top of the country charts. Linda is the first artist to have songs at the top of 3 charts at the same time.
Can't go wrong Linda.
I was akid in the 60's and teenager in the 70's. I enjoyed the best music!
You forget about some of these artists from decades ago, but you reactors are pulling out all of this great music and it is so much fun-- like a reunion with music from your past! Linda's voice stood out no matter WHAT she sang. This is the perfect "Break Up" song. Tell the guy "You're No Good about 100 times, pick up your prepacked suitcase, and slam the door behind you !! Done Deal! One of my very favorites is a duet she did with Aaron Neville called "All I Need To Know".. Looking forward to your reaction to that one. 😊
Linda Ronstadt is one of the best female singers & can sing any genre from ballads to country to rock & even opera. She has had so many hits such as "Different Drum", "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", "Desperado", "Long Long Time" etc. Ronstadt also did two great duets, "Somewhere Out There" (with James Ingram) & "Don't Know Much" (with Aaron Neville). The Eagles were her backing band till they went out on their own & she has covered a lot of their songs. Linda also collaborated with Dolly Parton & Emmylou Harris on a few "Trio" albums.
You should do more midnight special great performances. R I.P. Wolfman Jack✌️❤️🙏🙏
That woman could take any song in any genre and own it! What a performer!
This is absolutely amazing. I had not heard this in a while. Giving me goosebumps. Love your reactions! ♥
One favorite (among so many) is Linda's superbly emotional cover of the Eagles' "Desperado"! Best is the live version in Atlanta (December 1st, 1977). Also, as someone else already mentioned, "La Charreada" or "La Cigarra" are terrific!
The 70's had real talent. No autotune necessary. Just press record.
There were always great artists, just not mainstream. You have to go looking for them.
The camera angle along with the bell bottoms make Linda look a lot taller than she is. She is 5' 2" tall. I saw her live in Atlanta (1977, I think), an incredible performance as you would expect. For more of Linda's catalog, others have mentioned "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" and "Long Long Time." In addition to those, I'd recommend "Willin'" which is often overlooked. All 3 are slightly different stylings by a marvelous singer.
Of all of Linda's many, many BIllboard hits, only a couple of the were NOT covers. She built her superstardom on covers that many didn't even know were covers.
THOSE were the days....staying up late Friday nights and watching "The Midnight Special"
Favorite song by Linda!!!
Great singer…. 💯👍
I'm sure the length of the song was dictated by The Midnight Special show because there were longer versions. Great song
You two have become good reactors. You're settled in and listening. And you each respect the other. Well done - you were stiff.
Her vocal range us limitless as us her diverse musical catal8g from pop and Rock to country to hercovers abd standards recording s Mexulicana recording innyrobute to her father abd her Mexucan roots. One powerhouse. I have always lived her live video of Lay Down Beaide Me.
I reached that awkward "teenage" stage right at the time I first saw Linda Ronstadt on TV, probably on the Midnight Special circa 73-74. I fell in love with her immediately. She and the blonde Abba gal Agnetha were my teenage fantasies for the rest of the decade.
What a voice. This was her biggest hit which really broke her nationally. This live version is completely different sounding than the original album version, which is a little bit slicked up for "hit radio" (but still worth listening to). This is much rawer and gritty. Both are worth reacting to.
Silver threads and golden needles. It is another of many great songs of Linda's. But she has many,
One of, if not her first, hits was Different Drum with the band Stone Pony. One of those lyrics still immediately identifiable 50 years later.
I'm so glad I saw Linda in California at small clubs many times. She is one of the best.
Andrew Gold on guitar and the amazing Jeff “Skunk” Baxter playing congas, instead of tearing it up on guitar, too!
I had a huge teenage crush on Linda!
Peace
Millions of us crushed on her, for sure. I noticed that the drummer looked familiar; is he from Little Feet?
@@i.marchand4655 Yes he is!
@@i.marchand4655 Good eye! Very few fans would notice that. Richie is a fabulous drummer!
@@i.marchand4655
Except its Little Feat.
@@kbrewski1 Yeah, but I always think of it as "Feet" because my ex- had little feet and I teased her about it quite a bit.
Oh, and it's "its" 😀
I love the back up singers too, the hairdos the outfits soooo good
Been waiting for someone to jump on this! 😊❤ Love this song!! 🎶
GUYS!!
YOU MUST SEE:
LINDA RONSTADT PERFORMING LIVE....
LA CIGARRA
AND
LA CHARREADA
...I had NO IDEA how POWERFUL her voice REALLY IS!!
Music was so big in our life back then before computers and even cable TV, our home stereo and car stereo were so important and staying up to see them on the Midnight Special was so great! Hell, this was even before we had VCR to record it! Going to live concerts was such a big event! 😎
The late Andrew Gold on lead guitar was a big part of her career. He also had a solo career as well.
Alright. See told ya, Midnight Special. Power back up band... one of my favorites... Congas- Jeff Skunk Baxter also guitar for Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan, Andrew Gold on Guitar Ritchie Hayward from Little Feet on drums. I cant remember the keyboardist. and almost forgot the Great Clydie King and Shirlie Mathews on back up vocals. Great reaction Phil and Sam
Her live performance of The Stones, Tumbling Dice is 🔥🔥🔥
Next one should be "Poor poor pitiful me " , her back up singers were awesome always. Linda's voice was just so strong and that blues sound makes me melt :) Keep diving down this rabbit hole ! You 2 are awesome keep it up /
I definitely recommend her version of 'Tumbling Dice' or 'Poor Pitiful Me'
"You're No Good" was written Clint Ballard, Jr., who also wrote songs for Connie Francis and The Hollies. Before Linda Ronstadt took it to the top of the chart, it was originally recorded by Dee Dee Warwick in 1963.
Dee Dee's record was not released here in the UK in 1963 but Betty Everett's was. That's the version I heard first and am most familiar with.
Jeff "Skunk" Baxter from Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers on congas, far left. Andrew Gold (Lonely Boy) on lead guitar solo.
GOSH - I MISS THIS LADY'S VOICE!! SO GOOD!!! ENJOY, YA'LL!! CHEERS to LINDA!!!
Linda and Aretha is all you will ever need.
Heatwave!
That's such a great performance. And yeah I love her diversity. You know she had a hit later in the 70s that I fell in love with the moment I heard it on the radio and I raced out and bought the 45 RPM single and played it a lot. Later I bought the album.
It's called, Livin' in the USA, and it's a banger with tons of fun belting by Linda.
My favorite Linda song another banger as Phil would say 😂❤
Amazing❣️ Linda always delivers gold! Try "Heat Wave" or "Long Long Time" or "Desperado" next.
Gotta love the "Midnight Special" too. It was such a cool show..so many great performances by so many groups/artists. Let's not forget Wolfman Jack! Lol.
I love everythig Linda does, fell in love with her when I was 11 and she sang Different Drum with The Stoe Ponys, More in line with you guys she and James Ingrram sang Somewhere out There in An Amercian Tail,.
The guitarist Andrew Gold wrote the song "Thank You For Being a Friend" that was used in the opening of "Golden Girls". Another that I remember is "Lonely Boy", but he did write a lot of songs.
The congas were played by Jeff (Skunk) Baxter, formerly of Steely Dan & the Doobie Brothers......now is a consultant for certain agencies at the Pentagon.
"Heat Wave" next! Preferably, the original recording of "Heat Wave" from Ronstadt. As popular as Ronstadt was in the 70s, I think she was somewhat underrated bc she was the Remake Queen -- almost all of her hits that cracked the Billboard Top 40 were remakes -- many like "Heat Wave" were already top hits from the 60s by other artists. "Blue Bayou" was a 60s hit for its songwriter, the legendary Roy Orbison.
Yes! So glad you did this version. I remember thinking it on your last review, can't remember if I said anything but I am sure someone did.
Look at her operatic chops in Pirates of Penzance.
Great live version but the studio version is a must-listen.
One of my pre teen crushes
You should hear the studio version.
She did several albums of standards with Nelson Riddle.
linda in her prime - no one better - loved the midnight special!
Linda Rondstadt is my go-to for karaoke! 🥳 Another: When Will I Be Loved.
This lady is si awesome. I have every vinyl record album she has. One of my favorite female artists. ❤
