Picked this up yesterday after reading this post. I had forgotten what a fine voice she had. My only criticism is the use of drum synthesizers during the performance which was the hip new tech in 1980 I guess. In 2019, the sound is more annoying than innovative. However, Linda's performance is terrific. I particularly like the late great Warren Zevon song "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" and "Your No Good".
Great New Linda Ronstadt Live
If you’ve always wished that Linda had put out some live albums, your prayers have been partly answered. "Live In Hollywood" was recorded for an HBO special in April 1980. Linda and the band are in peak form. The recording is excellent for a 1980 live show. She does a few ballads but mostly rocks out on familiar songs. This release shows what an incredible vocalist she was. My only problem with it is that it only includes 12 out of 20 songs she performed that night. Maybe we can hope for a Deluxe Edition.
