I had the privilege to sit front row at both the Friday and Saturday show. I was the guy that nearly fainted when you accepted the roses I brought for you! It was a dream come true. I’ve been a fan for over 20 years and it was my first time seeing you live. My Mom and I drove down from Atlanta. What a perfect way to spend Mother’s Day! Thank you for the unforgettable experience that weekend, and for the blessings your music has brought me for so many years!

What a gorgeous, magical Concert! ✨✨✨✨

I've always wondered how it is mathematically possible for someone to give 110%. Now I know.

I think it's amazing how Linda seems almost eternal. If it were not for these white hair - a look she's rocking btw - I'd never think she has aged much since the day I've first listened to her. Same face, same sympathic and fun personality, same manierism, same passion and same talent. Although it's true she may not use her voice as easily as before but listen to these notes, just wow. I might be even more impressed because of it. Watching this I'm thinking "I want to be like her when I'm older" haha I am so glad people today never forget how talentuous she is and invite her to do lovely performance like this one. As an amateur singer, I look up to her. Nowadays music sure does sound very different from what was made 40 years ago. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worst. And I think it's such a shame how most young people don't give much attention to great voices, they're missing out on something. I never listened to the Venice Symphony before, it does sound wonderful ! I'll definitely look it up.

Thank you Linda for 2 simply glorious concerts! You continue to spoil us with your magnificent voice as well as your openness & honesty! Today, with so much hate & evil in the world, both at home & abroad, thank you for being a light in the darkness! 🎵💖🎶

Has your voice gotten stronger and more beautiful than it was why I find that hard to believe beautiful absolutely beautiful

There is a special kind of magic that happens when your voice is paired with an orchestra. I feel that’s when your reach your full potential in all of your glory! I had goosebumps!

Such a gift! Please never think twice about sharing it with us!!

Really wonderful. So thrilling.❤

This vlog was moving and so much fun to watch.I had the pleasure of seeing you perform with the NJ Symphony Orchestra a few years back...one of my favorite concert memories of you. The song You'll Never Walk Alone always reminds me of my grandmother who would have celebrated her birthday this week. The sunset was almost as beautiful as your voice and heart.🤍 Thanks for just being you🤍

This is awesome Your dresses are beautiful. Songs like Vienna, Anthem and Someone Like You never get old. You just keep making them sound better and better. This was truly fun to watch. Greatest female voice of all time. Thank You Linda.

As if I needed another reason to love you…Climb Every Mountain!!!! My all time favorite movie and adore Julie Andrews. You made it your own and sang it so beautifully, I cried through it twice. You amaze me Linda Eder, You are magical! This was one heck of a show, I know you called these songs ball breakers but they are so gorgeous and only you can sing them all in one show… Forever grateful for that day in May 1997 seeing a show I really wasn’t excited for until you stepped on stage and blew me away…. Thank you for the music Linda, God Bless you and that voice ❤️❤️

Don’t be nervous. You’re untouchable 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🥰♥️🎤🎶🙌🏼🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

WOW.... Linda such grace and class.... Supreme DIVA. Troy is very Cute.

you still have it, girl! beautiful job! i sang 2 of your songs for a musical competition and won both times. you are my inspiration

You still got it baby!

What a gift, Linda! Such a genuine treat to see the expressions of joy and delight on the face of the Venice Symphony conductor, the faces of the Venice Symphony orchestra members, as well as “the boys in the band” as you stand and deliver a performance that each and every time goes straight to the heart! (Anthem was inspired!) I’m in awe…always. Every performance is a master class! Thanks! And, Ellen, you look fabulous!!! You’re both forces of nature from whom much can be learned! “Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart and you’ll never walk alone…” pretty much say’s it all! The perfect punctuation to a terrific vlog! Cheers!

“Sing it with me”……In my wildest of dreams! 😂 Great show!

Beautiful in every way. Thank you for sharing. 💕💕

Well done Ms. Eder , 👏 BRAVO. TIMELESS!

Want to say so much, but words escape me, loved it all, , tears shed, and the wonder of all your voice can do still leaves me speechless. thank you for sharing your talent and beauty !!!(Both in and out)

I've gotten so used to having fun with all the horses, and weight loss, and crafting, and teaching, and snow! that I had kinda forgotten that this right here is the essence of your life's work. singing like this, with the orchestra, its breath taking I mean, always talk about you being one of the absolute top tier singers in history, and this was a glorious celebration of that. it was astonishing. I am so happy you shared this with us!

I absolutely loved this. Playing with a symphony- what a special treat. Love all your videos, the way you let us walk along side you throughout each journey. Love the margaritas with Ellen!

Love the gown! Thanks for being the light in my darkness and sharing your talent and humanity with us.

Ugh the most amazing voice. I'm sure it may have been another reason for it but in my mind I loved that the conductor couldn't take his eyes of Linda, kept turning around.. Giggles. Concocted this big romance in my head.

40 years ago or today… you’ve still got it!!!! When are you coming back to Southern NJ????

I have been MIA for a few months, so I will have to find that video with Ellen. She looks so great! My husband had cancer during the Covid shut-down and when you were laying in the grass, outside of a clinic, talking about a friend who had cancer, I just felt it must be Ellen. So I prayed hard for her and at the same time, for my husband, the other big Linda Eder fan. Thankyou for posting so much of this concert. It can be a stand-in when we are starved for seeing/hearing you in concert. You may have been nervous, but we just heard someone stellar at their craft, whose music elevates everything and everyone around her.

Thanks for sharing this special time with us! It was glorious!!!

I had a blast performing with you. You are Amazing!! Looking forward for the next time

This was a fantastic show! Wish I lived in Florida. Your voice is still wonderful. We saw you years ago in Verona, NY, a few times and are big fans. 💕🎼👏👏👏👏

Love! Smiles! Magical moments! What a great vlog! Pure magic when you combine your amazing voice and a wonderful orchestra. That you overcome your "stage nerves" and step on to that stage and give it your all speaks volumes of your dedication, your loyalty, your love for your fans, and the love for your gift. Indeed, a true entertainer and performer! Great to see you and Ellen (Lucy and Ethel) together again enjoying life. Ice cream for breakfast---what could be better! Thank you Linda for sharing your voice, your smiles, and your heart with us. Blessings. You are Loved.

I was perusing your KZfaq videos and came across this one again. I thought sure I left a comment at the time of your post but I can’t find it here. I too was fortunate enough to be at this concert, actually both of them. I had to get my “Linda fix” that weekend. It had been far too long. The orchestra was wonderful and Troy Quinn is a gem but it was your voice that brought me to Venice and your voice never disappoints. I sat in absolute awe for both shows. I was in the second row chatting with the folks in the first row before the show started. They were obviously symphony season ticket holders and unbelievably, they had never heard of you. 😮 I told them that they were in for a real treat. During the intermission, they spent the entire time just gushing about your talent. I told you so! Sadly, there was no meet and greet after these shows so I’m on the hunt for another opportunity to meet you in person and hope that it will happen soon. Ellen is adorable and I’m so glad she is well again. I wish her continued good health. Take care of yourself Linda and that unparalleled voice of yours! ❤ from Louisiana

LOVE, LOVE, LOVED it!!! I miss hearing your voice on Broadway!!! I am so happy to be able to listen to you here. Been a fan from the beginning. Thank you Linda Keep it going and keep us happy. Stay well.

WOW! what a great show, Linda. The Venice orchestra was excellent and it was great to hear you sing some of the songs you haven't done in a while - Climb Every Mountain, Don't Rain on my Parade, and the Chess song as a tribute to Ukraine was very touching. You are such an amazing performer and you and Troy the director complimented each other so well! congrats!

Linda, thank you SO much for sharing this. It is amazing, for those of us starved by Covid from being nourished in person by your performances, to be able to see and hear you this way for at least a flavor of the experience. The symphony was a spectacular partner. And Ellen, it is so wonderful to see you out playing! The whole ice cream for breakfast thing has potential.

🔥🔥🔥WOW!!! Absolutely stunning!! Beautiful show!! So happy to see Ellen doing so well!!! You just keep getting better and better!!! And that conductor is smoking hot! Always great to see and hear your show if I can’t be there in person, but you hit this one out of the park!!!❤️🥰

thank Linda.. I give my daughter middle name vienna because of your beautiful song

Brava!!!! Brava!!!! Brava!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏

I LOVE hearing you perform with a full orchestra! What a performance!!

I love your interpretation at the ending of New Ways to dream. The last line always seems so disjointed and the end note flat; but, you married it perfectly and in tune

Thank you for always sharing yourself with your fans!

If I hadn’t been following your career, first TV, then albums, and thankfully now your KZfaq channel, I would say what an amazing fresh new voice! Your voice soars as you hit those big notes with that familiar clarity and power. It thrusts like a rocket to land on that pitch then seems to sustain with the ease of a glider. At least you make it look like it’s easy! Thanks for all the joy since catching a fun little talent show, through albums and Broadway, and now the chronicles on KZfaq. Couldn’t see you last year in NYC when I had tickets, but now I HAVE to see you with an orchestra.

You have me absolutely enthralled! I first discovered you by your Jekyll and Hyde "Bring on the Men" performance, and you've taught me a lot through your humor, wit, and skillset. Thank you so much, and I'm excited you have a KZfaq channel available for view!

we are not talking enough about how incredibly gorgeous you look .... everything is just on FIRE Ms Eder

Lovely! So timeless … and dang, you’re still hitting those high notes! 🥰😳🙌🏼 So wish you could do this symphony show on the west coast!

Sure glad you did the matinee…waited a long time to hear you sing. Wow! I was moved several times to tears…hope you come back soon.

Just listen.. listen to those pipes 🥰🙌🏼🥰🙌🏼🎶🎤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👏🏼🌹🌹👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Wow, Thank you for sharing this journey and performance with us! I’m pretty sure your voice just keeps getting better. How is that possible? ❤️🙌

Amazing thank you for sharing! Love love love the black top and pants!!

Terrific performance! Great to see you after waiting so long. Come back soon.

Lovely outfits, loved the dress.

You both look "marvelous" !! I love the banter between you. Such a special friendship. I loved the concert. Thank you for sharing. 🇺🇦💙💛

Linda I'm such a big fan. I love watching your videos and performances. Truly magical. Much love!

Love your performances, and your travelogues nearly as much. It's rainy and dark down here in Tasmania, where we're about as far south in the Southern Hemisphere as you can get and still be on dry land. The wild wallabies come for a supplemental feed at dusk. If I don't feed them kangaroo pellets, they will eat my ducks' grain, which is bad for their guts. Fat furry extortionists. Enjoy your springtime critters, in addition to the dogs and equines. Until next time. Cheers.

Fabulous! You went all out for this show! Looking good Ellen!! May you continue to gain strength :)

Amazing and wonderful!

Wonderful. What an absolute joy to see you in concert. You made my day!

Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures, personality, and for always being you. Your vlogs are amazing!!!

Jet Blue?!?! You're a gutsy gal, aren't you.

Wow! Thanks so much for this video! It is fantastic and so touching! Enjoyed the concert in Palm Desert, nothing beats a live concert!

Linda, we loved this show! Excellent job! PLEASE come back to Playhouse Square in Cleveland. We've seen you twice and would love to see you again. 💓

Jealous here in Australia we don’t get to see you live. Loved the song choice here. All my faves💕

Wonderful! We’d so love you to come to Australia and do a concert!

An amazing talent and concert.i have to shorten my comment,being Im rushing to watch this concert again.

I live in Venice!! Looks like you had fun here :)

Oh Linda, You looked Great sitting at the Harp!. 😃👍

Linda I'm only 16:11 into the video but I have to say your Blue/Violet? dress is Absolutely Positively Stunningly Gorgeous!!.

That black two piece outfit's gotta go! Your so beautiful....... It just doesn't do you justice

YES! the sand is hot! burnt my feet at the beach in North Carolina! got blisters! Wear your swim shoes!!!

Theme from Ice Castles - wish I could have heard more 😗💕

I watched this hoping you would do my favorite song by you: Vienna! Yay you sang it! I'm about 5 years older than you and I decided I was too young to go Gray but hate the chemicals in hair color. I found a great solution: All - Nutrient hair color made right here in Manchester New Hampshire. This natural brunette loves being a blonde at 66 years old!

Roses at your feet🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Linda, let me begin by saying I’ve coached players all my life. From children to Olympic level athletes. Please remember my words. Of course you are nervous. I’d be worried if you weren’t. Being nervous simply proves you are a race horse, not a cow. Cows get led to slaughter. Race horses are crowned champions. Just now, I watched an Olympic level performance. Outstanding. Carry on. With love, Mark.

Linda, what would it take to get you back in California? The weather? Your fans out here? Flowers? Lol. 🙏

The running regional joke is...... "Sarasota is where your parents go to retire. Venice is where their parents live."

Any plans to return to Toronto ?🙏🏻

As in Venice Florida Symphony????

Lighting is awful. They could have done a better job. You deserve better.
