Linda Ronstadt - Poor Poor Pitiful Me

Apologies for the sound. The transmission failed during "Crazy", the 9th song of the set, and never got totally fixed. "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" was the very next song and whatever makeshift fix they applied was not applied in time to save this portion of the concert.

[@guggenheimlloyd6714]

Queen of her scene. Great pipes and the players just adored her. Splendid and rare songbird.

[@marksupic3083]

What a powerful voice! Poor pitiful me was written by the great Warren Zevon

[@erinlast2627]

Gorgeous pipes and so much more. Always a real woman, Down to Earth, Linda didn’t bathe in her own reflection.

[@almckegg7995]

My vote for the musical fox of all time: beauty, heart, the gifted pipes of the musical goddess. Thanks for all the music you gave us, Linda. I hope the rest of your life is full of joy.

[@Valspace]

Thank you fellow Arizonan Linda Ronstadt, and thank you to the late great Warren Zevon.

[@dharmabeachbum6330]

Waddy Wachtel wailin' on guitar with beautiful Linda. She did a great job with this Zevon tune.

[@andyinoregon]

I've always thought Waddy was America's answer to Keith Richards. Only wish the instrumental outro to this song was 5 min. longer.

[@cuatro336]

Being only 23, I missed Linda in her time... But I discovered her at age 16 going through some old 45s at my grandparents and I’ve love her ever since.

[@bruceradz]

I was in love with her. The only thing better than hearing her sing is watching her on stage.

For all the choreography that has crept into performance since the MTV era kicked in, songs sung like this. played by bands like this, voiced loud and lovely like this is 100% more edifying and alluring! Thank you Linda, thank you SirExxon!

[@marshalllanier360]

No need to apologize for the sound. I was there in Atlanta that night in December 1977. Once you've heard her perform live, it stays with you for life.

I have been listening to Linda Ronstadt sinvce the 60's, it is inconceivable to me that with all the grammy's, tony nonimations, singing on Broadway, and big bands, plus honering her own cultural heritage that she is not in the rock and roll hall of fame WTF - oh and did i mention the millions of albums she has sold. Have the governing board got their head up their - - - come on guys - Linda is one of the hottest women singers in rock ever !

[@MultiBaldEagle]

I was at this show. It was in December '77. I was also at the Fox a year and a half earlier for some Southern Boys...Lynyrd Skynyrd!

Talent of Lindas' caliber will ~not exist in the future; These videos are decades old and who can compare to her yet? No one really; AI is our future; Sad really.

[@Freshstart6354]

Katacus --- Have you ever noticed that almost all of these great Music Artist's were born in the 1940's, some in the 50's. When you think of their parents... well they are called them Greatest Generation, so to me it just makes since that's were the talent came from. Just food for thought.

[@wayheavy]

Waddy Wachtel-Has played with the biggest artists from the LA rock scene(i.e. Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstadt, Warren Zevon, Jackson Browne just to name a few). He also was a member of Keith Richards' band The X-Pensive Winos. This recording is from 35 yrs ago but Waddy still looks the same with his wire rim glasses and long curly hair.

[@curtisshaw9317]

Great Clear Pure Pipes.

[@johnnewcomb9015]

I saw Linda in concert in Yokohama Japan. The concert hall was full. You'd think the all the 'fans' would know that she was going to sing "...down in Yokohama..." and they would get excited. She sang "yokohama" and there was 10 second gap between that and the cheers. It's like they didn't really know her songs.

[@barbaradavaz1010]

Hi Linda Lovers, Linda Ronstadt has been my number one girl from 16 (1975) to 61 (2020 + 6 months). I do not believe I have ever seen her sing "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" live. is this the '77 Atlanta concert? Tnx

[@jameskendall9168]

Always remember not to step in front of a moving train or allow yourself to get pushed. And quit trying to jump off the Colorado Street bridge in Pasadena. The local cops will try to talk you out of it, you'll only get a slight concussion if you do succeed in jumping and they'll put you back in the service. No escape. I love how Linda gripes about it though like a Waring Blender. Oh lord have mercy!

[@artysanmobile]

This may have been an afternoon test/rehearse recording. We recorded a lot of such tests, given enough tape back then. Today I roll for hours on end, enjoying complete freedom from the $10/minute cost in 1977. Linda, of course would be one of those artists a label would give us carte blanche to record.
