Pieces of the Past "What the F#........ !" It's Time, Big Time LIVE

[@jackpolman2513]

That first song was one of the best performances I have ever heard. It's not just the fact that you have such an amazing voice, but what you do with it, the emotion, pitch, range and passion come shining through. Well done!!

[@EderFan]

Simply Amazing!!!! You definitely need to sing more of your songs at your live shows.

[@bjsteinhoff9810]

What an enjoyable, fabulous collaboration with 3 consummate professionals. It was really meant to survive the less than ideal storage conditions. Thank you Linda for all your time & energy involved in your "Pieces of the Past" vlogs! 🎵💖🎶

[@jillianhowarth3141]

Oh how I love a good play on words… and this one was excellent! But even more excellent is your Pieces of the Past series, which I have been so thoroughly enjoying! This one especially was so fun and different. Keep ‘em coming!

[@lindaederofficialyoutube]

The note is E flat!!! Sorry Justine! I just took your word for it without even checking. If it was an F# my jaw would have fallen off completely! 😂

[@JerkyPuck]

I think they meant the F# you did indeed sing in “This Time Around.” And duh, you nailed it!

[@kencairns532]

I cannot believe how athletic and tiring 'It's Time' is!! What a performance! 11 out of 10. ⚘️

[@1wookieman]

They were 2 of the best skaters of their time. Linda the best singer of all time,,, and your still here.

[@lynnadler2269]

Very exhilarating! A much needed midday boost -- still smiling ! i love these flashbacks

[@shirleelempke2774]

Wowing us with another great vlog. That voice! As always, perfect in every way. Please continue to share this precious treasure trove of LE "pieces of the past" with us. What a joy to re-live these wonderful memories with you. Blessings. You are Loved.

[@iamjane9628]

Well, THAT was absolutely delightful!! I hope you are able to rescue your VHS performances and get them transferred to digital before any of them degrade any further. There seem to be so many gems that I missed when they originally aired! Your voice in this video blew me away, despite the loss of sound quality on the tape. How lucky was the audience who got to witness these performances in person??!! It's Time is one of my favorite of your songs. I have not heard you perform it live before. Thank you for sharing this with us !! ♥

[@StAndrew65]

Nice! You look like an Amazon warrior while standing next to Kristi Yamaguchi. :) I would love to see a live performance of 'Even Now'. I think you perfomed it during your Anne Arbor, Michigan concert way back in 2002.

[@diannes.1275]

Oh wow! I love this so much! Such a wonderful treat! I love ice skating and to watch them perform along with your singing was really something special. "Linda can sing..." - that was an understatement! Big Time is such a fun song to listen to. Thank you for dusting this off and sharing with us. Another winner! ♥from Louisiana! ♥

[@aprilcarter2081]

Loved revisiting this! Saw it on TV all those years ago. You’ve still got the pipes to sing those songs! Some of my fave’s! ❤️❤️

[@RandyRainbowOfficial]

Obsessed! Loving these throwbacks so much. ❤❤❤

[@lindaederofficialyoutube]

Hi Randy!!

[@helenreilly765]

Linda Eder This is absolutely beautiful!

[@kathleenbolton6385]

I always likened those high belted notes to a skater's jumps. Brava brava brava for singing it so damned well live. (Cold there as well? ) But what I find funny was that the request was for a live performance of This Time Around. Another song with triple axle level difficulty. Linda, you are a continued inspiration.

[@sirwinslow7384]

Absolutely love seeing and listening to these Pieces of the Past with your commentary from the time you recorded, etc. Thank you for sharing with us ❤

[@reneemontgomeryvoice]

Wow! what awesome collaborations! That looks like you had a blast! I’m still in awe of your high belt notes. 🤯❤️🔥

[@lindaederofficialyoutube]

It was so much fun. I've sung a few times for Skaters and it is always a thrill to be on the ice when they skate.

[@brookemartin6101]

Oh my oh my That was SUCH a CUTE ending to "It's Time, the way Brian was lookin' at you Linda. 😊

[@ahowell7]

Thanks for sharing this amazing memory!! God, I love ya lady!!!!

[@broadwaymike92]

Chills. 2 of the best from my favorite album of yours. The skating is electric!!!

[@hburgoyneYT]

Haha!! I was going to mention the E flat & that it didn't matter because I wouldn't tell anyone! I would also forgive you because of your gor-ge-ous red dress! Still have it!?? The videos are lovely, even through the fuzzy quality. The skating and the singing, just perfect. (I could do with a lesson from you about to make digital videos from old tapes!) Thank you for Pieces from the Past, as I didn't see any of this first time around. 🥰

[@faelsinnes]

Nickname was "hockey stop" when i was into ice skating.. Whitley Warriors , they're still going 😅😅😅😅 bloody long time ago. Don't pretend to be an ice skate dancer, but every move on the ice fitted the songs .

[@kerryblackwell4465]

I know you aren't a clothes horse, but how I love the videos with you in a gown. You look so regal and elegant!

[@lenwelch2195]

Linda , you are the finest singer I have Ever heard , period.this was the first song that I heard you sing.

[@joelok48]

How did the roof of this facility survive your powerful (beautiful) voice? ❤️❤️❤️

[@marshawulf976]

An amazing triple axel of talent - Brian, Kristi and Linda

[@paulhackett3836]

I love this song. This was great.

[@PaulaFragaszy-th2in]

No one male or female can compare to Linda.

[@jaynehall4468]

You are having so much fun in this video. Great energy!! hugs!

[@dax28645]

Ahhhhhhh I remember watching this back in the day! So amazing. This era of Linda’s voice and music got me through some difficult times! I wore out her “It’s Time” and “It’s No Secret Anymore” albums. 🥰 🥰🥰 If you read this…. You’re the best and much love from a forever fan.

[@craighammond2982]

Phenomenal! Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@nashidrountree2457]

The power in your voice is so remarkable. "It's Time" is one of my favorites of yours, and the conviction with which you sang the climax of this performance was even better than the studio version! Stunning❤ I can't wait to see what other gems you rediscover.

[@cathymarcello282]

You are just fabulous 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🎶🥰💯😘😘. Don’t ever change 🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️🌹♥️

[@andrewwhitenack2336]

"It's Time" was my first CD and the first song I heard...then I instantly became a fan forever! Stunning performance. Love it! ❤

[@chrisjacobsen5558]

I remember this! You and figure skating are a great match. Don’t know if you realize how much of your wonderful music has been used in dance competitions as well. I’m a teacher and adjudicator and have seen many of your wonders. Thank you for your gifts!

[@carolefishkind3347]

The most interesting thing to me in seeing and hearing you sing in the past is how much your voice and appearance have matured and both gotten even better than they were. It’s always a delight to see and hear you sing. And now there’s the added delight of watching your Vlog and seeing you, the person! And what a great person you are!! Sending you lots of admiration and love. Carole F.

[@jeffberger2126]

i love that song!!!

[@scswp6945]

I love watching these old clips. Do you have any footage from the Camille Claudel production at the Norma Terris Theatre?

[@lindaederofficialyoutube]

Oh how I wish I did!

[@brianallgier4435]

Stunning

[@paulmattson545]

So I love It’s Time and Big Time, and these are great performances, but didn’t Justin ask for This Time Around from your album INSA? I’d love to see and hear a live version of that one too where you hold that end note “I’m gonna make it miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.” 😊

[@justinsperanza3673]

The F# is in "This Time Around." That was the song I was talking about. 😂

[@justinsperanza3673]

Yeah, I never heard a live version of "This Time Around."

[@lindaederofficialyoutube]

I must have forgotten my coffee the day I made this vlog.... :). I will try to find THIS TIME AROUND.

[@autumn_rain]

Future is looking very bright for AI that will help to restore quality. It can do wonders already when trained properly. I think that's the way to go for old recordings.

[@rick0e295]

Linda, This Time Around is such an incredible song as only you could do it 🌹. And it has many great memories for me! Many thanks!

[@jannak9024]

Interesting timing for a vlog...the World Championships are happening now! I take it since It's Time came before Gold that this was before Kristi skated to Gold at The Olympics. I remember seeing this (I have a cousin that was in the Ice Capades and I went to a lot of her lessons because I stayed there a lot growing up. Have followed ice shows over the years.). I am so glad you had this recording. It's Time has always been my favorite CD.. a (Grammy worthy) vocal master class in vocal style!! You had excellent camera time on this ..looking and sounding fabulous! I can totally get that Big Time would be so much fun to skate to...lots of attitude and music with big moments and footwork style. ( I love every inch of that CD, but always wished that they mixed it with the volume down a pinch on that last It's Time note...so much power! ) Thanks for posting this...love it!

[@theblueangel28]

I'm so happy you found this! Good god almighty sometimes I forget what a phenomenon you are

[@tomh969]

I have to say...I really enjoy your segments. Very uplifting so thank you

[@robertmaclean-wood7445]

How did I not know this existed. Amazing as always.

[@1linedfan]

Thanks for the memories, I still think this was my favorite CD. I am really enjoying your throw backs. I do have most of this stuff but I’m wondering if you have any videos from Camille? I always felt bad that this never made it further. You were so very good in it!!!

[@patriciaburns1494]

Shari, I was going to ask her the same thing! Would love to see those!!!💖

[@macki7]

Incredible. I remember I just saw Jason Robert Brown’s “Parade” The wife is one powerful role Check out the finale song on line You would slay it. His “Still Hurting” from “The last five years” is another one

[@lindaederofficialyoutube]

I recorded I'M STILL HURTING on my Retro TWO CD. You can find it on my online store LindaEderStore.com

[@rms5025]

BRAVO. !!!❤

[@ChrisStockslager]

Gorgeous as always! Such beautiful spin in every part of your voice. 😍 The final note if It’s Time is an Eb, not an F#, just to be that nit picky musical nerd / fan of yours. 🤓 This Time Around does have a fantastic F#, though!

[@lindaederofficialyoutube]

Oh my gosh! You are so right! Sorry! He said F# and I just wrote without even thinking about it. Too funny!!!

[@frankfuhs5987]

And it does make for a very interesting, eye-catching title!

[@craigtanner5499]

@@lindaederofficialyoutube You are far more advanced than most in handling video technology. If you'd like, I can send you an email with thoughts on burning VHS tapes to DVDs versus transferring the VHS output to digital computer files (.mov, .mp4). Some advantages to both, but I can convey a few ideas on this you may find useful.

[@sharondunn6188]

Fabulous🎉❤

[@lindaosika7648]

Did Brian select the music?

[@lindaederofficialyoutube]

Yes

[@lynnruffino8966]

I meant Still Hurting

[@craigtanner5499]

Don't toss any old VHS tapes until you have tried playback on more than one VHS machine. Some may be more tolerant to the heat deterioration.

[@lindaederofficialyoutube]

Thank you for the input. I am looking for machines.

[@craigtanner5499]

@@lindaederofficialyoutube It's tricky, because a VHS machine in bad shape can in fact break or wrinkle tapes. Best to get one from someone who believes it is in good shape, and then test it on a few expendable VHS tapes before putting in the precious ones. I would not trust one from a thrift shop.

[@craigtanner5499]

This is not the place to go on about it, but it's also important that the video playback heads on a VHS machine can get clogged (with iron oxide particles shedding from tapes), resulting in a screen full of "snow" (video noise largely obscuring the picture) -- even though the tape may be ok. So head cleaning is in order before discarding a tape as unusable. More details if you are interested...

[@bjsteinhoff9810]

Have you considered using a tape restoration service that has a proven track (pun intended) record?
