The lovely Linda with that magnificent voice, backed by America's best group (with Glenn Frey wearing a Chicago Blackhawks jersey) doesn't get any better than this !!!
She has a powerful voice and sings great. Too bad they dont make music like that anymore, good old rock & roll. Not to mention she georgous!!! Great song!!!
Could you imagine the band that would have been "Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles" if she had joined up with them permanently? Her voice meshes so well with all of theirs, especially Bernie's, and we know she can do a hell of a job singing Henley's part in Desperado. Beautiful.
Great song and clip. The guitarist to Linda's left is Bernie Leadon, Don Felder is on keyboard. Randy Meisner is behind Glenn Frey. Linda is one of a kind...
Saw Linda live on this tour with the eagles on 74.. I tried to rush the stage in Roanoke va to kiss her on a bet from my buddies.. I was tackled by a security guard and Linda graciously called me to the stage and gave me a kiss. What a special moment for a horny 15 year old . I will never forget it or her. She was wearing the same outfit as this video. Thanks. What a find
I also saw Linda on her 1974 tour - in Berkeley, CA - it was my first concert & I'll never forget it either - she was awesome although as a girl, I just wanted to LOOK like her.
I saw Linda and Eagles perform together in Chicago's Arlington Race Track lovely night and a very memorable performance. The Eagles were such a tight group and Linda's voice were an evenings magic.
Wow only just come across this vid ..... awesome ..... thanks for posting, great song great performance from both Linda and The Eagle .........it rocks.
try as you will Britney but you will NEVER come close to this lady. imagine, Linda and the Eagles. who could you find today to match that due??? NO ONE....thanks for posting...
I don't know 'bout ya all, but I come for the music not the smoke or the fireworks. Linda explodes with all that energy. -ok I do like the images on the video, but it is the sound that really does it for me! [nice comment boneyard1125]
@alan4sure Seriously. I think reyldeguz is in for a huge surprise when he finds out "Thou Shalt Not Spam" was once a commandment, but since they didn't have computers yet, no one could figure out what it meant & they just omitted it.
I never saw her do anything except stand behind the microphone and sing. No dancing, no smoke, no skyrockets and yet her performances were more energetic than all those groups who used gimmicks.
The 4 original Eagles only performed one concert in 1972 as Ronstadt's backup band although Leadon and Meisner played for a few months with her the same year. They were never really "together" as her backup band although they would once in a while perform with her in collaborations's from 72 to 74/75 on tv specials such as this clip.
and the comments were directed @ Zosima64 inaccurate statements below as if they were a group. Collaborators-Yes, An officially billed entity or band-No.
@GOODY61 Okay, I gotcha. I read Felder's book and you're right, they did only do one live gig with her. I just remembered reading the credits on two of her studio albums, "Hand Sewn" and "Linda Ronstadt" that had Henley, Frey, Meisner and Leadon listed as musicians. Any way though. I like the Eagles and Linda so.....hey
Linda Ronstadt is one of those rare singers who have great talent and it shows when they sound even better live than in a studio. Leaves these artificial bimbos of today for dead. She is probably the best female artist ever!!

The Eagles weren't from The Stone Ponies. The Stone Ponies were Linda Ronstadt, Kenny Edwards, and Bobby Kimmel.
Her manager John Boylan put Glen Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner together as her touring band in the early 70s when she went solo!

Nope, not accurate. They were, with the exception of Don Felder, her back up band for her self entitled 1972 album.
