LINDA RONSTADT You're No Good LIVE | REACTION

[@debbiechang5781]

Linda Ronstadt is an American treasure and possessed the most beautiful voice on the planet. She has a forty year catalogue spanning multiple genres and has won every award and honor imaginable. She could sing anything and your time is well spent exploring her music. To answer your question, she stopped singing due to a neurological disorder. 🌺✌️

[@tammiec4937]

What a great performance. I love her live performances.

[@leslie8743]

I was blwn away watching Linda doing a whole show in spanish with old mexican songs from her father's era. Her voice control unmatched and is a powerhouse! ❤

[@MitchellWilkinson-m8n]

Nice having both versions, Linda has a great voice and can sing anything.

[@bucketheadistheman]

Linda is one of the finest singers of all time.

[@EJSmith-dk3yg]

The first video "Reeling in the Years" ... I was at ! Nov. 1976 at the Universal Amphitheater in L.A. The best concert I've ever been to ... no flash, dancing, explosions, just the best singer I've ever heard and a great band !

[@donnelson6694]

Great song. Always loved Linda's voice.

[@evanhughes1510]

You guys should hear hear version of Desperado, or Tracks of My Tears. She sounds amazing. Phenomenal and iconic voice. One of the best female vocalists of the last 60 years. A clear, full, strong pure voice, and she did so many genres and styles in her career and sounded great in all of them

[@brucedillinger9448]

Have seen Linda at least 6 times over the years and yes...she ALWAYS sounded this good! Never off key, never forgot lyrics. True professional! ✌

[@jjsunshine4188]

Studio version is superb too .. esp the end ..great artist

[@mozilla2576]

Andrew Gold always does such a great job on this song. Love seeing he and Linda on the stage together.

[@DavidHames-j7d]

No auto tune. No real problems with ego. Pure.

[@nicholassmith479]

Linda Ronstadt was everywhere in the 1970s. I think she lived on Don Kirschner’s Rock Concert. 😂

[@mikedineen7857]

That was a live show

[@justineapril7922]

I'm a huge fan of Ms Ronstadt! I saw her live in 1978 and she was perfect!! Side note: Linda had NO formal voice training until way after she became a pro. Such a beautiful, natural voice!!

[@sethcashman1011]

Was it basically the same band as the one in the first clip here? When I saw her in 1980, Waddy was still there, but she had Russ Kunkel on drums instead of Mike Botts.

[@evanhughes1510]

This is a very refreshing break from the endless Rush reactions. It would be amazing to see you go further into Linda and react to 1/4 or even 1/10 the number of her songs as you’ve done to Rush..

[@EJSmith-dk3yg]

Linda has "Linda Money" ... in the late 1970's she was the highest paid female musician !

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

You guys have just uncovered a rabbit waren of music that will go way beyond what you now understand.

[@SnowDogisVictorious]

Five years earlier and she would have been introducing JD Souther, Glen Frey, and Don Henley.

[@sethcashman1011]

I know what you mean about that vocal affectation sounding “manufactured.” It’s just what she did, though - and what a lot of people did at the time. She and Lowell George were very tight and that quasi-blues vocal rag was one of his signatures.

[@mikeplott4817]

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣

[@sethcashman1011]

You can’t beat that first lineup. Every single one of them is a legend, a few sadly no longer with us. I think Waddy’s on tour with Stevie Nicks right now. As for Linda, nothing more need be said. Royalty. The best. I like both performances played here for different reasons.

[@neonpark1874]

Speaking of lineups, I'd like to point out that in the second version, that was Jeff "skunk" Baxter (who played guitar for Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, and a number of other artists) on the congas.

[@sethcashman1011]

@@neonpark1874 touché! No one like Skunk.

[@brucedillinger9448]

And Shirley Mathews and Clydie King on backing vocals in 2nd version. Linda (and others like Elton John, etc.) hired them because they were so friggin' good.

[@rosesilveira344]

On the Midnight Special the backup singers were Elvis' backup girls. One of the is Whitney Houston's mother, Cissy. Linda's voice has alot of grit & rasp.

[@gailvolm3862]

Should watch her do this song on Midnight Special it's epic and watch the back up dancers.

[@jakesmith5278]

The growling is called a technique. Most great vocalists use it.

[@johnroop9625]

Wanna be AMAZED??? "La Charreada" LIVE

[@mark-be9mq]

IDK. I think the vocal "affectation" works perfectly here. I recall a lot of singers using the same thing. From Ann Wilson, Nikki Barclay, Stevie Wonder, most big artists. It works also from the "guy done me wrong" theme of the song to express that emotion.

[@angieday5183]

1st version concert rock and roll

[@angieday5183]

Queen of the 70s

[@sethcashman1011]

And beyond!

[@ChrisDeWine]

Here is a link that has Linda singing the Eagles signature song "Desperado" live with the Eagles backing her kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3-wpZ6YmdZqecU

[@angieday5183]

sang multiple genres

[@sethcashman1011]

It’s funny, but just before I saw this come up on KZbin, I was listening to Bryndle’s first album, which also features Kenny Edwards and Andrew Gold. Those guys were both so great.

[@Macilmoyle]

Most of this band were the core players on Andrew's solo album "What's wrong with this picture?"

[@sethcashman1011]

@@Macilmoyle that’s right, in addition to Lee, Russ, Kootch, and others. Classic recording.

[@angieday5183]

red thing was a rose or other flower

[@yar9333]

Should have a done good cover bad cover with Van Halen🙂

[@T-ShirtMagic]

*Fanny, Great Comparison* An underrated band buried in the archives of early Rock History. Doubt many or maybe all of your subscribers never heard the *First All Girl Rock Band* Maybe your wife Camilla could host a *"reintroduction reaction"* video of them?

[@mark-be9mq]

Justin did 4 of their songs. Have to look back about 3-6 months.

[@T-ShirtMagic]

@@mark-be9mq Thanks Mark. New subscriber and I typically search channels before making any suggestions. I've found and watched them all now!

[@mark-be9mq]

@@T-ShirtMagic Fantastic. It's great stuff especiallyThe Best Club recordings

[@SnowDogisVictorious]

Yep, my first thought was: "wow, height difference."

[@JustinPanariello]

shes actually taller than average womans height... but i'm taller than average mans height by more lol

[@angieday5183]

the growl is not easy to do

[@chrisandersen5635]

Waddy Wachtel played and still plays with Stevie Nicks before the beginning and now. Fleetwood Mac happened in between. Ain’t life funny?

[@sethcashman1011]

He’s on tour with her as we speak.

[@olgaramirez7739]

I’m sorry but she looks bored !! On the other hand I believe he understands the authentic beauty of a band and voice!

[@justineapril7922]

She has Parkinson's.... 😢

[@sethcashman1011]

Yup. A crime.

[@Macilmoyle]

That was the original diagnosis but it was later revised to progressive supranuclear palsy which has similar symptoms. It's still a crying shame.

[@RandallVentresca]

Lame reaction.

[@bobtransvaal144]

On a Cat Stevens TV Special, Linda sang his song Fill My Eyes. It is the only time she was recorded singing it, and it is fantastic. Unfortunately the video quality is poor. Still worth checking out.
