Willie Nelson once said there are just two kinds of men in the world, those in love with Linda Ronstadt, and those who don't know who she is.

[@maybedrinkin3241]

OMG, that's hysterical! Leave it to Willy. He was right, too.

[@AP-gb3eh]

Our entire generation loved her and most every guy had a crush on her. Her voice was such a fine instrument she sang with such color and emotion ☮️

[@maybedrinkin3241]

HA! I still have a crush on her.

[@garymilner5486]

My dad LOVED listening to her sing during this time. He especially liked to listen to her sing ‘BLUE BUYOU’

[@randyventresca4152]

Linda Ronstadt is the greatest, most versatile female vocalist of her generation. And, this is a live performance and the 3rd verse is cut out. The one you hear in The Last of Us is the studio version from Linda's 1970 album, Silk Purse. The song earned Linda her first Grammy nomination for Best Female Vocalist for Long, Long Time.

[@evanhughes1510]

It’s sad that the only reason a lot of young people are suddenly discovering Linda ronstadt is because of a stupid show. If not for her song being on that show, sadly a lot of these people would still not know about her

[@randyventresca4152]

​@@evanhughes1510So true.

[@kennbicknell5492]

*PLEASE watch the 2019 documentary, "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice." She discovered The Eagles, sang rock, pop, country, old jazz standards, and Mexican folklorico! She is brilliant and beautiful. Her singing voice is gone now, but that documentary and her many other hits across countless genres will ROCK YOUR WORLD*

[@larrywright4539]

Eagles were her band before they broke off and started on their own.

[@joelwatts5260]

I watch and listen to Linda sing this song with the picture in my mind of what she looks like today. White hair, unable to sing anymore because of Parkinson disease. Makes me sad. Getting old is really the pits. I'll always love this beautiful song.

[@ke721]

Yeah, but she still looks great.

[@alanFconrad]

her vocals are devastatingly great

[@26shedan]

I have loved this song since the 70's. This song used to rip my guts out when as a young girl I was suffering from that painful, first love break up. Glad it found a resurgence from the show.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

If you want to hear Linda's versatility, listen to her doing "la Chareada", a mariachi classic.

[@sharongaskell]

Linda is the GOAT imho. Was lucky enough to grow up in an amazing time ...music grew and changed so fast and we were there for the ride.

[@terrybeasley5931]

There are a few songs from this era that live in your head forever. This is one of them.❤

[@greatwhitewing]

Linda can sing anything in her day and do it amazing, country, rock, blues, Mexican

[@carolb1268]

If you want to hear Linda leave her soul on stage, watch her live version of “Down so Low.” Her live performance of “Desperado” is amazing too! I saw her twice in the 70’s at sold out stadiums (1975 & 1976). She is an amazing artist!

[@mariabykofsky4502]

OMG, Linda Ronstadt is so beautiful as well as her vocals, thank you for featuring her, I was 18 during that time...❤❤❤

[@jimwilsky2922]

If you want to go down a rabbit hole, Linda is IT. So many hits, so many great songs you could react to. Tremendous singer for decades. Trust me on that.

[@robertthole695]

one of the great female singers ever

[@richdiddens4059]

I think what lifted her above other singers of her time was her ability to emote. No matter the subject or the genre she could make you feel the emotion behind the song.

[@stephendavis6267]

"The Last of Us" did win Emmys for Nick Offerman (Bill) and Storm Reid (Riley), plus a few technical awards for the crafts, so it did get some love.

[@mistersnitty7721]

Linda was the first female rock star to sell out stadium concerts. She also holds the record for the biggest selling non-English language album in the history of American recorded music, for her Mexican Mariachi album "Canciones de Mi Padre". She is the real deal. So many awards. Responsible for The Eagles. Amazingly successful in Country, Rock, Pop, Mariachi, American Standards with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, Jazz, Light Opera, Afro-Cuban, New Wave and duets with the biggest stars in music. Selena Gomez will be playing Linda in an upcoming biopic. You just saw her as a young, up and coming singer in this video. Wait till you hear her and see her as she progresses. Her vocals are everything.

[@gaylerobison9518]

This song came out when I was in junior high, in the early 70s. I am now 67, and it still is one of my favorites of all time. Still makes me weep.

[@LonghopeBro-ju6jl]

I have the studio version on vinyl. It was originally released on her "Silk Purse" album in 1970, but I have it on her "Different Drum" LP released in 1974. Another great song from the same record is "Rock Me on the Water", written by Jackson Browne. I saw her live at the Lion's Share, a small club in San Anselmo, north of San Francisco. Our table was up front and center stage. I'll never forget that night.

[@nathanlawson313]

There's two kinds of people: Those that are in love with Linda, and those that haven't heard her sing yet.

[@zmadscientist]

Great reaction! I love the song too... I just came across it about 45 to 50 years ahead of you - but I have had the same reaction ;-) I'll also second someones mention below of her rendition of Blue Bayou. As a high school and college student going thru heart achey times - these songs hung close to my heart and I wore them out back inthe day

[@amyholman354]

The mounting anguish in her voice gives me truth chills. That lightness and the strength. I enjoyed seeing you react to this.

[@stanleynykaza9042]

Wish somebody would react to HEATWAVE Live by Linda Ronstadt one of her biggest hits and played on the radio all the time when released ! as the girl can Rock too!

[@jerryjackson7339]

That was the best encore ever when I saw her in 1977

[@thomashiggins9320]

I really like this song, and Ronstadt has a fantastic voice. My favorite song she did was a cover of a Roy Orbison tune, "Blue Bayou." If you like this, check that out. Edit: Oh, you already heard that one. 😄

[@RaynorBear]

... though I have heard this song since it was first released in 1970, it will henceforth be known by me as the "Bill & Frank Song". This performance of the song omits the final verse that was used during the final scene and closing credits of "The Last of Us" episode 3. As for Emmy awards, Nick Offerman (Bill) and Murray Bartlett (Frank) were both up for the Emmy for Best Guest Actor in a Drama Series, along with other actors... several also from "The Last of Us". Nick Offerman WON!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sassymess7111]

@RaynorBear Same! When he started playing it on piano I knew it would be emotional especially if they played Linda.

[@debbiechang5781]

She has the most beautiful female voice on the planet. Unfortunately, these live performances always cut out an entire verse of this song in order to fit the format of the variety shows at the time. This one was from The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. You should check out the studio version to hear the whole song. Otherwise, you can never go wrong with her live performances. Her concerts were legendary and her voice was strong, sweet, and incredibly powerful. I recommend “Down So Low” performed live in Germany kzbin.info/www/bejne/emjKdKd5jN2Hj9Esi=adA7l3GRlN9dJtfZ. It will leave you speechless. It’s very soulful and will grab your heart from the first note. Great reaction. 🌺✌️

[@caroljshepherd3848]

There are too many songs to list but when given a choice, always go for a live performance. She's soooooo much better live! ❤

[@nancyskomars1230]

Linda, who lost that amazing voice to Parkinson's Disease, is a National Treasure. She set the bar high for every female singer to follow. She just had a naturally versatile voice. I have not heard another voice to match hers until I heard Gabriel Henrique of Brazil. He has her power and her versatility. I wish he would sing something of hers. This is a link to him singing "Hurt" by Christina Aguilera. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h37NZYWBaMpmhM0si=wjlT4HyFPpSNJyFI He can honor Linda!

[@SuhanDane]

She was such a good vocalist. To me the stand out female vocalist of the '70's, and considering there was Stevie Nicks, Dolly Parton, Emmy Lou Harris, and Kate Bush making fine music too, to stand out in that lot makes her a special performer. She was so versatile, blues, country, Cajun, rock 'n' roll, she did them all effortlessly and owned each tune she performed. Her covers of Warren Zevon's, "Poor, poor pitiful me" and The Rolling Stones, " Tumbling Dice," are great examples of her rock 'n' roll abilities. Other than Bette Midler's cover of The Stones, "Beast of Burden," no one has owned a Stone's song as much as Linda did on her version of, " Tumbling Dice."

[@martinhafner2201]

She was in a very fun movie version of the light musical stage play Pirates of Penzance. She played the lead female part (Mabel) and had a lot of great song leads. It was in 1983.

[@deanpritchard8499]

Broke my heart the first time I heard this song- means so many things to different people, I had just been cut off by someone I’d loved for nearly 40 years- I won’t get over this…….

[@taramahoney2412]

I grew up listening to Linda since the early seventies. She has an amazing voice I do like this song from Al very long time ago.

[@donniehagy5125]

The man (Nick Offerman) won for his role in "The Last of Us." I was so happy for him and this beautiful song.

[@shirleycarr5387]

Beautiful

[@michelleortega1514]

My favorite Linda song .

[@MoMoMyPup10]

If you want to get a similar vibe as this, check out her singing "Love Has No Pride" Live. I know it doesn't have the connection to The Last of Us but it's equally as beautiful of a vocal performance. She's special.

[@Laura-ih7vv]

This song still gives me goose bumps even after 50 years.

[@scoobysnacks]

Amazing that after The Last Of Us episode 3 aired, the downloads for this song increased almost 5000%, more than 50 years after it was originally released. She was an extremely versatile singer who was very popular in a number of music genres, including opera. I had the biggest crush on her when I was a kid. Such a gorgeous voice and beautiful to look at, evey teenage boy did. And I agree, last of Us, Episode 3 should have won a ton of awards. It was an amazing episode with a great story, great music, and top notch acting. Nick Offerman (Bill) won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series and Storm Reid (Riley) won the same for Actress. It also won a few Emmys for things like Sound Editing, Picture Editing, Sound Mixing, Visual Effects and Prosthetic makeup, among others. A total of 8 Emmys in 2023, but it should have won a lot more.

[@karenmatthews1751]

your music left us with so many memories

[@rebapuck5061]

I watched an interview with someone connected to the show. He called a contemporary and asked what was the saddest song he knew. Long Long Time was the answer.

[@vicegrips188]

Linda had a motor for sure,! She looked like my sister when she was a teenager. We had fun trying to hold her treble in the car driving our parents nuts. You mentioned last of us, have you had a chance to watch the series “Fargo”? Or the creators other amazing show “LEGION”? Both are the best thing out there for storytelling, acting, directing

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Linda always was a good looking woman.

[@LoisChisholm]

OhMyGosh, she was baby-faced then! This was very early in her career. And what a career it was.

[@JasonGilbert-yl8hf]

Linda has The Voice!!!

[@sukie584]

Ep 3 was one of the greatest hours in TV. The scene that they use it in is was filled with everything that’s wonderful about being human..

[@rhondabaker1064]

Please react to Don’t Know Much by Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville-1990 live

[@boblozaintherealworld3577]

Thank you, sir.

[@billdomitilli8125]

It's so obvious when you're in the presence of greatness, isn't it?

[@daveking9393]

Great reaction! Really enjoyed it. You do a great job as usual. Thanks so much for sharing

[@RJ-nz5jn]

During this version she was singing fighting a cold.

[@victoriagrove5344]

Gorgeous song and vocal. Linda was so good!

[@swilson463]

Agree 100%

[@joelliebler5690]

Great song that reminds me of her earlier great tune she sang with The Stone Ponies called Different Drum! You will love reacting to that one!

[@user-ty4zu9rs8e]

I am not that computer literate so I couldn't figure out how to send you the link but if you type in Seth Rudetsky Deconstructs "Long Long Time" you will get the story of how the song was picked for the The Last of Us and the back gound on the writing of the song with all three verses. Also you should Check out Linda doing "Desperado" Live.

[@susanstein6604]

This song was on her very first album.

[@79mib]

This is one of my favorites in her entire catalogue

[@rosesilveira344]

One of the most beautiful & talented Mexican American Women ever!

[@annecox944]

Since you brought up the Emmys, Nick Offerman (Bill) did win the Emmy. Actors playing "Sam", "Henry" and "Frank" were also nominated in the same category.

[@rumbledumpthumpershaker6735]

Nick Offerman won an Emmy for that episode and Murray Bartlett was nominated. The entire series got 24 nominations and won eight.

[@ucheegwu6782]

Her Different Drums song is even better.

[@susantownsend8397]

Check out one of her mariachi songs such as La Chareada or La Cigarra. Also, listen to Desperado. It is interesting to compare her version to the original Eagles version.

[@rebapuck5061]

For more versatility from Linda listen to What's New with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra.

[@user-ws8kv3hi4h]

Her performance of “down so low” in Germany 1976 is epic!

[@4swordkeeper]

Yeah brother... She is awesome and so is the song... I think she was like 24 years old in this video.. or 26 lol Can't remember.. she was young and gorgeous.. Willie Nelson said their are two kinds of people in the world.. the ones who were in love with Linda and the ones who never met her...

[@punkydoodle4774]

React to the studio version to hear the entire song.

[@user-mm2go2bg1r]

React to few songs from her What;s New album.... exquisite !!

[@turntbyhi-lo3516]

She always seemed to be singing this song just to me.

[@React2This]

There were a number of nominated actors for The Last of Us, and one important win: Nick Offerman as Bill won Guest Actor for the episode called “A Long Long Time.” ❤️

[@reca5038]

I would love to see/hear you react to The Impossible Dream sung by Jim Nabors.

[@davidroyston1918]

You're gonna fall in love with her!...we all have! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@srae1971]

The Last of Us was nominated for just about everything it was eligible for, but lost most of them. Nick Offerman, who played Bill in that episode, did win best guest performance though. It's a beautiful song that I knew before the show, but I'll never be able to hear it now without thinking of that incredible episode.

[@leonardshevlin7260]

"Different Drum" "Willin'" [about being a trucker] "I Guess It Doesn't Matter Anymore"

[@dougbontz7761]

You are so awesome! What a delight?

[@edevard9048]

The studio version has an additional verse.

[@loudrescasiano7407]

SELENA GOMEZ is doing a boi- pick of the life of this wonderful woman, can't wait for the Movie. It's like SG will understand LRs life ,cause she has had similar life experiences with Love and health. With SG fan base a new generation will get to know and hear LRs music.

[@michelleortega1514]

Yea I said the same thing about better call saul.6 years and nothing.Best show ever.Emmys suck

[@writebrain-zn2um]

I liked your reaction to Blue Bayou from her last week, also. She can no longer sing, but she could do ANY genre.

[@MH-pw3vy]

Make sure you watch some of her duets with Aaron Neville.

[@videoinformer]

Unfortunately, the performance you reacted to is a shortened version, cutting out quite a lot, maybe because of time constraint. Here's a link to a much better performance on "The Johnny Cash Show", not only the whole song, but the first time she ever performed it publicly, months before it was even played on the radio or recorded for a record. In fact, it's better than the studio version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp-uq3mFm66dg8k As a bonus, here's a link to the guy who suggested "Long Long Time" for "The Last of Us", deconstructing it and telling us why her performance is so great: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJTdn5Snq7eFrpo

[@tygerbrite]

Yes! This is the definitive performance.

[@susansabatka5318]

I've never heard of this show. I guess I'm really old.

[@angieday5183]

Great verse in it was cut for tv time slot

[@VicEclectica]

One of the best break up songs ever.

[@beeg56]

This was back when singers could actually sing. (She had a well-publicized and volatile relationship with Bob Dylan, who eventually left her. Like I said, well-publicized.)

[@jeffchampagne5587]

Listen to the studio version of that song with all the music removed and just her voice a cappella kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4K0eYGumb9njac

[@steveyaworsky6170]

I was 12 when this came out, and it's still my favorite of hers after all these years. It's unfortunate she left a verse out in this performance, but that sometimes happens with time constraints.

[@rittherugger160]

No one rocks a Boy Scout uniform better than Linda.

[@t0dd000]

Offerman won for guest actor for that episode. There were a bunch of nominations and at least one other winner for the series.

[@revaflowers3115]

I believe you have picked a video clip of an abridged version of this song.If you check out the lyrics you will see what I mean.It would be worth your effort to find a clip of the whole song.

[@uptownjay]

Nick Offerman won for his performance in Episode 3.

[@trishriley9681]

❤

[@bella-xp7qd]

They are gonna make a bioepic of Linda Ronstadt, Selena Gomez is gonna play her.

[@jeffmorrison2147]

Linda Ronstadt You're No Good Heatwave

[@jeanmc4213]

So, you're not a lyrics guy?

[@jackgilchrist]

Yeah, sorry bro, but that's not the whole song. It's a short version, which is kind of a musical sacrilege in my book. Maybe it's just me, but her vocals in this version, while always stunning, don't have quite the emotional impact as the studio version for me. She also did a live performance on the Johnny Cash show which was fantastic, and she sung it like she meant every word. So I suggest you check those two out as well. Of course, there's no such thing as a bad Linda performance, especially back in her prime. There was only amazing and even more amazing. She could have been shitfaced drunk and singing kumbaya on a Greyhound bus rolling over a bumpy dirt road and still be amazing.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

I'll give you a tip. If you post a copyright disclaimer, immediately before you post the video, you shouldn't have to do any of that fading or other such rubbish, to stop being blocked.

[@user-jl5lo6cx4g]

I don't believe The Last of Us won anything. Nick Offermann should have at least won for episode 3. I thought his performance was very moving and totally out of his normal roles.

[@rickyrygg7188]

There's a third verse she didn't sing here

[@nancy9891]

2024 Last of Us won 8 Emmies

[@penelopehornswaggle102]

I felt like you do when I first heard this song. Instantly loved it...that was about 40 yrs ago.
