no auto tune, no cell phones, no lip sync, no bull sht. Just pure Linda at her best in her prime. Love it.

The strongest female rock vocalist this country ever produced. Always the coolest on stage, extremely gracious, allowed her band to have generous turns in the spotlight as she floated behind them. She was and is, for me, the anti-diva. She always made it about the music.

No one tops Linda. The sound over the airways of my youth. Flying down the Detroit highways with Linda. Pure joy…… Motown????

Not enough words to describe how great she was. None.

Best version of this song period. Band does a great job and the recording is spectacular! This is a major league homerun!

The way she looks at the camera and sings, good grief, it'll put chills down your spine. She's the best.

Music and style has changed in the past 30 Years, and I miss the brilliant vocalists and songwriting of the past. Linda is untouchable!!!

Didn't need any gimmicks a truly powerful voice, still my favorite female singer THANKS I'm 66 and no one compares to her today!

Friggin perfection at its finest

I think it was Willy Nelson who said there were two types of men in the world: those who had a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who never met Linda Ronstadt.

My favorite version of this song. Great performance all around.

Linda Ronstadt, powerhouse vocalist. Absolute LEGEND.

No costume changes. No back-up dancers. No pyrotechnics. No autotune. Just pure raw vocal talent on display, backed by a group of musicians at the top of their game and masters of their craft.

"You're no good"🎶 Awesome! 61yrs old. 45yrs plus love her voice ❤

What a performance! Her voice, on top of that band is absolute musical perfection. Kortchmar kicked a$$ on that Les Paul!

Linda Ronstadt is simply the Best of the Best!

40 years later and still no comparison. Rock-N-Roll forever!

Just a PURE vocalist and singer! PURE!

Loved Linda's voice 😢sorry how her life turned out at the end. She deserved better. God bless her❤

I was stuck on an extinct volcano, in Turkey, in 1978 (army intelligence) and nothing said "home" more to me than that beautiful, wonderful ladies voice. Thank you Linda.

Magnificent vocals. Linda could blow you back with power then break your heart. She wore fame so lightly and often let the light shine on her devoted musicians. Rare.

I saw her live in Birmingham, Alabama on this tour. James Taylor's brother, Livingston Taylor, was the opening act.

Gawd… her voice. Just gives you chills.

That was the most refreshing six minutes and twelve seconds I’ve spent in a long time. All I can say is wow.

Back when Music Was Good , Her Deep Dark Eyes Could Hypnotize You and Her Voice Soothed You're Soul. Beautiful Sincerely 🌹

Linda is an American treasure and an incredible talent. She can take the same song , sing it 1000 times over 15 years and never once does her passion and execution waiver from perfection. She sounds just as raw and passionate as the first time she sang it.

Oh My My My, what a PERFECT performance by Linda, every member of that band and she is just IMPOSSIBLY cute, isn't she? GREAT music. Just GREAT.

Her voice just over takes the band. Thank goodness for these recordings. Great to see from.someone who never had the chance to see her. Watching these is just great. Just great simple music with a great band and music.

Happy Birthday Linda, with Love from your hometown of Tucson!

That is pure talent at its finest! The musicianship alone is something we won't see again in our lifetime. Her voice is amazing.

Gorgeous muscle in that voice. WoW.

This is the best video on KZfaq

She just walks up to the mic and blows the roof off the place. Linda is the GOAT.

This is a very good live version of this song. This song looks to be difficult to pull off live but they did it.

And they still make up stuff about her. Just freaking listen. No pretending, no autotune - glorious vocals - always invited perhaps demanded that her bands shine. Rare then, rarer now. We owe her...

Way to jaaammm! All around entertainment not just a great singer. Love Linda.

Linda was one of the best singers I have ever heard and she will always love in my heart and mind and she is one lady I will never forget, she is a living legend to me and always will be

Arguably the greatest all around American female singer in history! I was one of the fortunate few to be in the audience for this April 24, 1980 HBO taping at a sound studio in Hollywood. At a previous Ronstadt concert a few weeks earlier , they gave out lottery tickets to attend this taping for an HBO concert to be broadcast later. A friend scored three tickets and took me along to the taping. As I recall there were less than 500 people in attendance and as it was being filmed for later broadcast, if Linda forgot a lyric or the bands intro wasn’t tight enough, they’d stop the song and start it over to get it perfect. Her manager, Peter Asher, played percussion and sang backup for a majority of the songs. My favorite Ronstadt album- Mad Love had just came out and she played numerous songs off that album including “The Cost of Love” and several other power pop tunes. One of my all time favorite concerts I ever attended!

Linda rips the flesh off the bone on this one, and how about Danny's solo and the rest of the guys !!!!!!!!!

The best version of this song, hands down. We saw her on this tour and she was incredible.

My favourite artist of all times,enjoy your retirement life and take care,merry Christmas,your passionate fan from Australia

Words cannot describe the brilliance of this performance!!!!

The Queen of hi-fidelity vinyl and even more mesmerizing live. If someone says otherwise they are lying. Ronstadt was the real deal. Sigh...

Gotta Love Lovely Linda!

Best acoustics you will ever hear on a tv show.

I doesn't get any better then this. Linda could sing anything and make it her Very Own 🎼❤️‼️

Grab the mic, let the band rip and sing your heart out. Divine sound from Ronstadt - no wonder all the boys swarmed around her.

Linda helped get me through my Highschool years. Her songs are poinient to a 16 year old with a crush...

My fav upload of this live YNG so far...extended guitar solo adds contrast to Linda's exceptional pipes....

Wow she’s spectacular live and this has got to be one of the best versions of this I’ve heard from her. Thnx for posting 👍🏻

My goodness she is singing this live not in a studio. I saw her in concert and her voice was amazing.

Best version of this song ever!!! watched it 100 times

She is just amazing and beautiful. I dont know how long this show was but it was amazing she has a voice left. She didnt even break a sweat. She goes from belting out a rock song to Desperado sweet and beautiful.

Holy shit this lady has pipes. Beautiful voice, pure talent

One of the greatest female kiss-off tunes ever and when Ronstadt delivered it live - watch out. Splendid vocalist.

All time greatest female vocalist ever.

What an amazing voice. Sadly that voice has been silenced by Parkinson’s disease as she can no longer sing as a result. This video is a reminder of how talented Linda is and how powerful that voice was in its prime. Could listen to this on repeat all day. ❤️❤️❤️

Girl was born to sing...phenomenal...great arrangement...one of my all time favorites...Linda Ronstadt has few vocal challengers within the last 60 years...play it again please...

Just the best female singer ever! No one could match her pipes !!❤❤

This is the greatest video on KZfaq EVER!!!!!!

Love her still and proud of it. Glorious singer and deep musical chops.

Nobody does a better cover version of a song than Linda Ronstadt. There are so many.

I got the chills. I mean I’m shivering !! Long live Linda.

Linda Ronstadt is a singing institution, and this performance is but one sizzling testimony to her greatness.

The best female singer of her generation by a mile. What a band! All legends!

This is the best backing band...ever!!! Linda is totally on spot too.

Can belt it when she wants to, awesome vocalist 💃🏻👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

When she wanted to she could rock and she could roll so incredibly well.

When you have a voice like Linda's you should have great musicians working with you. What amazing talent in one small space!

What a voice! What a singer! What a song! Brilliant!

She was utterly splendid with every musical genre she wanted to sing. There is no category for her--other than a stunning & nearly unfathomable talent.

The purest female voice Rock Music ever had.

Incredible and I've never been a big fan. She is so strong here. I'm old enough to remember her presence in the70's and I didn't realize how strong and beautiful her voice really was-This show is impressive -Wow!

No one can belt them out like Linda!!🌹

Linda has the voice. Wish I lived back in those days. I love all her songs

I literally have chills. God bless Linda !

Linda is so good!

She's the reason I became a singer when I turned 30.

Only Linda can rock this one outta the the park!! I call this song the 70's version of " You Outta Know"

Everytime is hear this tune Ronda closes here eyes and all vocals are in timed harmony at end of song. It brings tears to my eyes to hear such greatness in Ms Linda Ronstadt and her backup vocalist.

Excellent rendition! Linda is on fire! Band is on fire too! ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely love this. Between Linda's awesome vocals and her amazing musicians..... Fantastic! 👏👏

Linda you are the best

Amazing, powerful, a real straight up rock song, boy what a voice and talent. Loooove it. 💕💕

Phenomenal...treasure every second of LR playback...arguably the greatest (and most versatile) female singer of the 21st & 20th century combined...

@ RHINO, totally do HD the whole concert pls she was ultimate here 😭

Brilliant and beautiful

Seeing and hearing her LIVE was transformational. Tough guys succumbed.

Back when singers hit all the notes with no computer in the back assisting. The musicians could handle the intricacies of timing and exactitude and not hide their lack of abilities behind attitude and fuzz boxes. We love you Linda!

What a powerful voice! Amazing!

She is fantastic!

The guitar solo was out of this world though ❤

I just find it so fascinating, that right through the whole song - even during the stretched out lead bits that were not part of the original recording - you still can recognize what song this is because of that simple keyboard pad that sustains throughout!

The band I was in back in 1977 did this song and it always brought the house down, And yes we had a female singer.

Awesome and touching, my fav female singer for ever 😊

No taking clothes off, no vulgar moves, no twerking - just pure wonderful talent.

Linda was my sweet heart during my high school years now i am in my senior year but she still is my sweet heart and will always be

Here we are, mostly men once boys, still listening. Great players swarming around a great lead singer. No other girls in her league.

If a song like this came out today it would dominate the charts for a year solid.

Badass Song ! Love it !!
