I love the way you managed to graft the beginning of the record over the the part of the live performance that was spoiled by that voice-over - thank you.
Did not know how she looked like when I was very young when I heard this song, and off course- she is an angel..her eyes- so warm, fell in love with her....okay- I must wake up again ;)
What a classic performance of the Stone Ponies - I can't imagine what it would have been like to be at that club that day. I would have flipped at her singing and the band obviously didn't really do much but her singing is great. They need a new stagecoach but the same driver, Linda. Wonder when Andrew Gold would show up. Great music, thanks for the retro music.
Hey, she was probably sick of the same old version and welcomed a different take on the song. This is how music and performance work. Look at the interpretations Van Morrison gives to live takes of his stuff. Those who are dissing this performance would likely consider Micheal Nesmith's recording an abomination and it's his song! The Hoffs/Sweet version is good too. I like 'em all. There's a lot to dig if you let yourself.
I will take this live casual venue with a real singing artist over today's over the top, one beat, lip synced, tattooted, talentless, narcissisitcal, nobodies any day!
Seen her twice in concert, 02 and 09. Very talented but I'm tired of her political speaches on stage, that's not why I went to see her. Next time I will just down load it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Democrat Linda needs to die in a plane crash like her hero Patsy Cline. Maybe then i'll respect her. I learned pure hatred from the liberals like her. Nearsight, she needs Weight Watchers because she's a truckload now
Remember dreaming and hoping that one day I could spend the night or weelend with Linda and Bev Bivens from "We Five" What a summer that was, I'll tell you.
And I did hear her do this in Squaw Valley sometime in 1969 with just the acoustic guitar.
I like the original better, too -- it was a little faster, I liked that driving rhythm it had. It was a hit when I was in high school & I really loved it.
While this version doesn't do it for me musically, it's great to see Linda Ronstadt singing at such close quarters.
I read on another post of the same version (it must be a TV performance) that this GREAT song was written by Mike Nesmith of the Monkeys. Sung by a woman, it becomes, as it did, a battle cry or an anthem for feminism.
she used to go barefootin a lot back then. also wore dresses with the sleeves longer than the dress. Used to have a pic from rolling stone of her in a red teddy hangin in my locker at school lol. But I liked her singing even more. had all her albums
It looks like she is barefoot. man, that is one sexy woman! She could have asked anything of any man, and he would bend over backwards, or break his back, to give it to her! One gorgeous woman. And what a voice! Like an angel singing!
The first time I ever heard Linda and didn't know who she was.? She quicly became the very best female singer of all time and a the most gorgeous female in the world on and off the stage with great personality and brains.
tell to ur criminals friend always felt fear because they are criminal alien ,the more criminal cross the border the more democrpas vote even illegal, democrats party mean party of pervert crooks lier criminals just like their peoples
Where were you when you heard this tune for the first time? LInda emerging out onto the early country rock scene in LA. Despite a so so musical backdrop, Linda's beautiful voice soars in this oldie...revealing just a taste of great things to come. She sang this one like an angel...and was she beautiful then,or what?
Saw her live at a little club called The Bistro in Columbus, Ohio in about 1967. I was in college at Ohio University and working as an announcer at a TV stations that was across the street. I was on dinner break. Had never heard of her. She was fantastic, beautiful and very sexy.
I saw her first performance on American Bandstand or one of those shows. We were knocked out by her voice and wondered who she was. She was singing this song too.
love the song but unfortunately, Ronstadt is another one of the drugged up hippies of the 60's that thinks she emerged as an intellectual...if she'd just keep her mouth shut and sing, she'd be much more endearing to many of us....

Let's hear one of these singers of today try doing this song live; such clarity, such a perfect tempo, and, well, to all you people who can sing, just try to give it a go.
Then you can appreciate just how difficult, and how well Linda sings this. Even Mike Nesmith was surprised by Lindas' change of some words and by the "fit" she put to it.
I love this clip. Look at her at about 32 and 1:22. She isn't just singing, she is really having a good time too. For so many singers it is just a job. Here is a woman enjoying her art. And reall art it is, she is so talented.
Must be a copyright problem. There's not a decent recording of "Different Drum" in all of YouTube. I believe there IS a good version of "Long, Long Time," in here, somewhere.
"You make eyes at me", have you never heard this before?
Maybe I am dating myself, but we used to say this when someone was trying to show interest (sexual) in someone else (that is, flirting strongly). Or we used to say, He/She was making googly eyes at me. Is this the clarification you're asking for?
@coyotewest -You are right about the band- If I'm not mistaken the original bass player was a high school classmate names Brad Shapiro. I don't know about the rest of the band. I agree with you the original was fantastic.
It's probably the same bandmembers. The studio version was heavily produced with a lot of echo, and other studio effects that you can't necessary replicate live. The live band isn't using any effects, they're just playing clean.
@sluv2600 I like this live version much better than the recording...it is very jazzy in that funky California way...just an edge of "Big Brother and the Holding Company" to it....:-), a little choppy in spots but all the heart is there....
@coyotewest I agree --it's a shame the recorded version heard in the beginning of this vid doesn't continue throughout. The production on that version was superb; it really showed Linda's talents off.
@coyotewest This version is Linda out on her own much later…the Eagles use to back her up and I’m not sure if this is them. That is where the song Desperado comes from, her back-up band called The Eagles wrote the song. Don Henley
Doesn't appear that ANY of the band members did. What a dreadful backing band. Notice how the drummer keeps changing tempo and meter? Is it a country song? A skiffle song? Ska? The drummer tries out all of the above!
Have to agree. At first I thought it was just the room they were playing, but I take points off for their interpretation/style for this song. On the other hand, Linda belts it out and saves the day.
..The Linda R. Scrapbook mentions:"The name Stone poneys was taken from the title of bluesman Charley Patton's ,Stone Poney Blues.The name might seem particularly fitting since the S.P. were not a happy group"...(by Mary Ellen Moore)
But the backing is the strangest I've heard, and the beat is kinda off. Thank goodness for Linda's great sense of timing, she manages to swing it along and keep it all in sync. She makes it work.
What a piece of art... Her voice is just amazing... lyrics really somthing! The Stone Ponys suck but it makes her voice stand out and works really well.
Is there a full chart version? Can anyone post a link?
What a great song. Full marks to Mike Nesmith, the writer, ex-Monkees. He left to do 'proper rock' and I guess this was it. Any other great MN songs you know of?
Yeah right. Because Britney could sing like this... Not a chance in hell. Linda could sing and she was pretty. Britney couldn't sing the names of the two kids she gave up.
Uh, no, considering the Eagles are pretty much the definition of crap.
Also, these Stone Poneys (ie the real Stone Poneys) did not become Eagles. The ones that did were recruited after Linda had left and become a solo act and needed a backing band.
I'm not sure who you mean. We did sound for them when they played here about 1967. The band hung around with my band for the three days they stayed over until their next gig. Their drummer was a Canadian studio drummer named Tony Day and he and the bass player were side musicians. The two guitar players, I think it was Bob Kimmel and they called the long haired other one "Shep", were the Stone Ponys with Linda. I know they sounded great in the concert and I leared tons of drum stuff from Tony.
audio equipment in the 60's and 70;s in video and tv studios only captured a very limited bandwidth as no one imagned that audio would be such an important part of tv and video production it wasnt even capable of recording in stereo thats why the band sounds very flat
I know all about the equipment of the 60's as I was involved in the business at the time. That's not what I'm referring to. The Band's tempo and lack of ability was what I was commenting on.
Help. You Tube is going bankrupt please tell all your friends we have to save you tube or else well have to rely on government & Rothschild controlled media for your news and entertainment. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. We need to do something
Is this really true? I read something about this a few days ago. YouTube isn't nonprofit like Wikipedia, and they don't seem to feature a lot of ads. So how do they monetize this site? And I agree, YT is too valuable for it too just disappear.
yes unfortunately it is true this is a big money looser for Google but it Google was smart they should advertise their software they produce on you tube like G drive and Chrome
this performance is classic...Timeless....There are good and bad people in all races...some more attractive than others....It is the soul thats important
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I for one do not think she looks Mexican, but Italian. There's pretty in every race, but I do agree that there are far uglier Mexicans than pretty ones. Look around at the 20 some million illegals and tell me that most of them look like this. I think not!
Wow. You really sound like an ignorant blonde. To say that there are more ugly Mexicans than pretty ones. I've seen ALOT of Mexicans who are better looking than your picture.Yes, there are alot of illegal Mexicans in the U.S., but why do you have to associate the word Mexican with the word illegals? And just because they're illegal doesn't make them ugly. It means they're illegal and should go through the proper process and pay taxes like the rest of us. And FYI Linda isn't half Mexican either.
"Mexican" is a nationality, not a race, and Mexico happens to be a multi-racial country and you will see many types of people living there. Sadly, the ugly, short and tanned Mexicans that you see in the States are the poorest of Mexican society, the indigenous people. But there are many "white," and "pretty" Mexicans out there and since they are wealthy, they have no need to move out. I have a Mexican friend of Norwegian descent, I bet she is more blonde than you, yet she is a proud Mexican.

Why was the group's name spelled PONEYS?
NVanWendy 2 years ago
probably to make it look psychadelic,like the byrds etc..

That's a possibility, I must admit.

..The Linda R. Scrapbook mentions:"The name Stone poneys was taken from the title of bluesman Charley Patton's ,Stone Poney Blues.The name might seem particularly fitting since the S.P. were not a happy group"...(by Mary Ellen Moore)

Thanks!
So maybe the answer is just that Charley Patton couldn't spell... 8-)

The backing is closer to the way Michael Nesmith meant it to be.

Linda does a neat job with this song.
But the backing is the strangest I've heard, and the beat is kinda off. Thank goodness for Linda's great sense of timing, she manages to swing it along and keep it all in sync. She makes it work.

Is this drummer knocking up a shed in the background?

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I do believe he was playing with a different drum.

I wish someone would post the full chart version, so much better than the live version.
BradBrassman 2 years ago 2
Is there a full chart version? Can anyone post a link?
What a great song. Full marks to Mike Nesmith, the writer, ex-Monkees. He left to do 'proper rock' and I guess this was it. Any other great MN songs you know of?

The only other singer with a voice like hers is Judith Durham of the Australian group The Seekers from about the same time.

Linda was the Britney of the 70's
Still a spunkbubble.
Wonder what she looks like now?
nintiwirri 2 years ago
Uh, no. Unlike Britney she could actually sing.
marosci 2 years ago
Yeah right. Because Britney could sing like this... Not a chance in hell. Linda could sing and she was pretty. Britney couldn't sing the names of the two kids she gave up.

A few of the stone ponies turned into the Eagles, so much for calling them a pile of crap

Uh, no, considering the Eagles are pretty much the definition of crap.
Also, these Stone Poneys (ie the real Stone Poneys) did not become Eagles. The ones that did were recruited after Linda had left and become a solo act and needed a backing band.
Finally, you can't even spell Stone Poneys.
marosci 2 years ago
I'm not sure who you mean. We did sound for them when they played here about 1967. The band hung around with my band for the three days they stayed over until their next gig. Their drummer was a Canadian studio drummer named Tony Day and he and the bass player were side musicians. The two guitar players, I think it was Bob Kimmel and they called the long haired other one "Shep", were the Stone Ponys with Linda. I know they sounded great in the concert and I leared tons of drum stuff from Tony.

audio equipment in the 60's and 70;s in video and tv studios only captured a very limited bandwidth as no one imagned that audio would be such an important part of tv and video production it wasnt even capable of recording in stereo thats why the band sounds very flat
chinasherry1961 2 years ago
I know all about the equipment of the 60's as I was involved in the business at the time. That's not what I'm referring to. The Band's tempo and lack of ability was what I was commenting on.

Help. You Tube is going bankrupt please tell all your friends we have to save you tube or else well have to rely on government & Rothschild controlled media for your news and entertainment. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. We need to do something
chinasherry1961 2 years ago
Is this really true? I read something about this a few days ago. YouTube isn't nonprofit like Wikipedia, and they don't seem to feature a lot of ads. So how do they monetize this site? And I agree, YT is too valuable for it too just disappear.

yes unfortunately it is true this is a big money looser for Google but it Google was smart they should advertise their software they produce on you tube like G drive and Chrome

I for one do not think she looks Mexican, but Italian. There's pretty in every race, but I do agree that there are far uglier Mexicans than pretty ones. Look around at the 20 some million illegals and tell me that most of them look like this. I think not!
SwedishBlonde79 2 years ago
Wow. You really sound like an ignorant blonde. To say that there are more ugly Mexicans than pretty ones. I've seen ALOT of Mexicans who are better looking than your picture.Yes, there are alot of illegal Mexicans in the U.S., but why do you have to associate the word Mexican with the word illegals? And just because they're illegal doesn't make them ugly. It means they're illegal and should go through the proper process and pay taxes like the rest of us. And FYI Linda isn't half Mexican either.
IngridMichelle 2 years ago 4
"Mexican" is a nationality, not a race, and Mexico happens to be a multi-racial country and you will see many types of people living there. Sadly, the ugly, short and tanned Mexicans that you see in the States are the poorest of Mexican society, the indigenous people. But there are many "white," and "pretty" Mexicans out there and since they are wealthy, they have no need to move out. I have a Mexican friend of Norwegian descent, I bet she is more blonde than you, yet she is a proud Mexican.
