Long Long Time - Brandi Carlile (Linda Ronstadt cover) live in London

Performed at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London, on 15th July 2024.

[@2412kath]

The care and respect Brandi shows for our wonderful library of older female artists always feels so good.

[@essiemitchell360]

Yes. This was so beautifully said. Thank you for voicing my feelings so eloquently.

[@hennybeee]

One of the best songs ever written and Brandi connected with every word. Such a special performance and a lovely tribute to the GREAT Linda Ronstadt ⭐️ 🤍💚

[@kareninalabama]

Beautifully put. As soon as I saw the title, I realized it would be perfect for Brandi to cover. I can't believe it never occurred to me before. Frankly, I'd love to hear Brandi cover more of the great Linda Ronstadt's songs; it seems like a great fit for her.

[@hennybeee]

@@kareninalabama🥰😇 yes i agree, would really like to hear Brandi cover ‘when will I be loved’ - let’s manifest this 🤭👀👌

[@veronical9383]

Ronstadt had the most glorious unadorned pipes in the Universe. A rare combination of power and tenderness. Linda never swam in her own reflection and let her bandmates and songwriters shine. This tribute is lovely and heartfelt - just makes you miss Ronstadt's singing - rockin' or crooning even more.

[@shawnafish4274]

This is beyond just singing...She emotes with her entire being!!!!!

[@lessismore6549]

I only found out about Brandi, the last 3 weeks... Yes, i live under a rock 😂 but i can tell you her songs and voice are with me every day... totally obsessed. 😊

[@AlysonArchibequeDavis-kv1bx]

Welcome. 🥳 Read her memoir Broken Horses asap. 🙏🏼

[@AlysonArchibequeDavis-kv1bx]

Better yet…listen to her read it and get bonus songs woven through. 🥰

[@2med425]

We all started somewhere, wondering how did I not know this voice? And yet we listened and soon felt it was always a part of our soul.

[@AnneluvsKatz]

I just found her 2 yrs ago… I’m obsessed as well. Saw her 2x last summer ❤❤❤

[@cindystevenson9669]

Me too ...about 6 mths ago. Amazing talent! I absolutely love the song she wrote for her daughter.

[@martaminder2716]

Brandi and Sister Strings are absolutely shining with their rendition of this song. Linda Ronstadt had such a pure voice of unusual depth that she could sing anything. Brandi can also do this but with a bit of growl, much like Emmylou Harris. Both are so pleasing to the ears. Thank you for posting this.

[@Water_is_Sacred777]

Brandi Carlile is one of thee most phenomenal artists in today's music scene. What a tribute to Linda (who absolutely hands down owns this song). I also love the fabulous rendition by Ruby Leigh. These younger folks who are recognizing a legend like Linda deserve some serious kudos. Along with the magnificent string section!! Well done!!👏👏👏

[@CarolynHardy-j2k]

A perfect comment…❤

[@lnl3237]

Ms. Ronstadt turned 78 on July 4th, 2024. The breadth of her musical catalog has taken us through every stage of our lives. Her voice just hits the sweet spot every time. Enjoyed Brandi's version.

[@dorothyobrien6561]

July 15 is Linda's birthday

[@lnl3237]

@@dorothyobrien6561 So glad you picked up my error. Shame on me. Had that date in my head in anticipation of Eva Marie Saint's 100th birthday. She's one of my favorite actresses.

[@douglasr.gilbert1980]

Long Long Time is the most beautiful song Linda Ronstadt recorded and Brandi did the song and Linda proud in my opinion. That always brings tears to my eyes. I hope that Brandi puts it on cd!

[@autwhite6797]

My sister, my best friend died on Friday. My mom and I are in the hotel rn, the day before the funeral, listening to this and letting out our love.

[@lnl3237]

So profoundly sorry. Music gives our heart voice when we are bereft. Hold onto each other.

[@mikeames3028]

Some songs can really bring on the tears when you're grieving, Shores of Avalon would hit me hard when I lost my wife.

[@julieh4481]

So sorry for your loss

[@isabelgoncalves8012]

[@anirbas093x]

My sincerest condolences to you and your mother. May you're hearts soon heal

I have the privilege of knowing Linda and Pete and her Tucson family. A beautiful woman. Thank you Brandi.

[@susanmary4752]

Thanks for covering a Linda Ronstadt song. She's such an incredibly beautiful singer and you did her proud Brandi.

[@annduquaine526]

Brandi has done some great covers but I think this is her absolute best!

[@jeffzachritz8879]

Brandi does a spectacular version of this song, which should surprise no one who has listened to her sing.

[@kkisamess]

Simply stunning.

[@dawnapplegate5862]

Can’t believe she was actually better than the original. I love when she covers songs!

[@AlanTuringWannabe]

Better than Linda? Not a chance. I've enjoyed Brandi's singing since the beginning of her career but she's not better than Linda.

[@brelcashman]

Spectacular 🥰😍goosebumps 💫💫💫

[@TheStoryStart]

Evocative, as always. What a thing it is, to feel the tendrils of a soul in this way. 🖤

[@charlesmckenna712]

Wow so much feeling in your singing I really like that thank you Me

[@AnneluvsKatz]

Just wonderful ❤❤❤

[@survivrs]

I absolutely love Brandi's voice. I didn't know about her until I heard "The Joke".

[@lindapietrasz8070]

Hell of a song and you should hear Benito Bryant do the Joke on America's Got Talent!!

[@survivrs]

@@lindapietrasz8070 That is where I first heard it!! I get so sick of all the "talent" shows, but there are times that I hear a new song that appeals to me, I hear a new version of an old song, or one that I never knew the title to or who sang it. The Joke had me on You Tube later that night to hear her sing it, and I am a huge fan. I should check out Benecio's songs, I'm sure he has more here, he is so talented. I just love good music, and these days you have to sort through a lot of junk to find the great stuff. Thanks for the info anyway!!

[@suevanoni]

I grew up, listening and loving Linda Ronstadt and now I’m loving all of the music of Brandi Carlile. You covered this stunningly just incredible. You are so talented. Keep making music.

💜💜💜

[@cllareou]

Love will abide Take things in stride Sounds like good advice But there's no one at my side And time washes clean Love's wounds unseen That's what someone told me But I don't know what it means 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think I'm gonna love you For a long, long time Caught in my fears Blinking back the tears I can't say you hurt me When you never let me near And I never drew One response from you All the while you fell All over girls you never knew 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think it's gonna hurt me For a long, long time Wait for the day you'll go away Knowing that you warned me Of the price I have to pay And life's full of flaws Who knows the cause? Living in the memory Of a love that never was 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and change you mind And I think I'm gonna miss you For a long, long time 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think I'm gonna love you For a long, long time

[@PattiMahaney]

4:03 the emotion, almost pleading to make somebody understand, rips my heart out.

[@lisamalone2647]

Beautiful. 🎼📻 🌎✌️💙🫶

[@sdb6757]

Brandi, another Linda song I’d love to hear you cover is “Lose Again” the great Karla Bonoff song.

[@mistersnitty7721]

Lose Again is my favorite song by Linda.

[@jillmichel8226]

Karla wrote quite a few of Linda's biggest hits. The one that really soared was "All my Life" the duet Linda sang with Aaron Neville. I believe they won a Grammy for it.

[@AnnetteSchneider-bk8yt]

Old songbu Linda Ronstadt...love it

[@susieturk1]

I don't care who sings this song.I will always associate it with Last of Us part one episode three. It will forever make my heart hurt.

[@lindapietrasz8070]

Unrequited love... Many of us have experienced it and oh it hurts so much. 😭😭😭

[@norwoodt]

That's good stuff

Only Linda can sing this song

[@sixstringer649]

Great job! But Linda's still in the lead!

[@johnoconnor3549]

She’s good, but there’s no one like Linda Rondstand.

[@lindapietrasz8070]

Ronstadt.

[@lindapietrasz8070]

...and Brandi is great!

[@robertthompson6091]

Only Linda Ronstadt should be allowed to this song. Sorry Brandi

[@lanceslaughter6189]

Good but not close to Linda’s version- not close.

[@ChuckMartorana]

She’s embarrassing Linda Ronstadt. What is this America got no talent!

[@bmccarthy3333]

You do know that the vast majority of Linda's records WERE COVERS. So when you put down this young lady you are insulting Linda. It is true she is not Linda- but no one CAN be Linda. Be kind- is that so hard? Get help for your displaced anger issues.
