Linda Ronstadt - Desperado (Simple Dreams Tour - Atlanta 1977)

[masercot]

You just want to eat her with a spoon, then drink the milk at the bottom of the bowl...

[thephbalance]

What was Jerry Brown thinking to let this beauty go. What an idiot

[DrPhibesxx7]

It's already been said, She was a doll and a voice like an angel...

[Frensis26]

What a voice!

[wenn607]

Beautiful voice!

Great song!

[kidynamite58]

Category education? Oh definitely.

[RockChickSniffer]

The Perfect Woman for Life Above the Snowline ....Thank ye kindly ....I'm born all over...

[Wolfheart363]

....it jus comes home with your voice....thank you... M'lady

[marycreeves]

Oh man, I was at this concert in Atlanta! thanks for posting!

[TheKnittingSongbird]

No autotune, no lip syncing, just a piano, a fantastic voice and heartfelt emotion...

[GeboreninHolland]

@TheKnittingSongbird - there is something to be said for purity. Listening to music from days gone by, there is a purity and unadulterated quality to much of it, that has been given up to and usurped by technology.....and they wonder why so many singers lip sync these days.

[TheKnittingSongbird]

@GeboreninHolland Sad but true...

[gdcapra]

I go to YouTube about once a month or so and listen to Linda Ronstadt. What a talent! The most beautiful voice.

[piatoscanoangel]

that's pia toscano 35 years ago.

[Docdogs1]

Now these backing musicians from this concert are what I call 'musicians'

You get sick of casual, unmusical studio musicians backing these great singers of modern history

[Izzycuddles09]

this song aways makes me cry.

[TheFishMiester]

She had HOT she hasn't used yet !

[ebuhenley]

))))

[DaveCarroll4]

Fell in love with her in 1969 and that fire's been burning ever since... and I know she's not quite the same on the outside... but then, neither am I! Only she can still sing but I can't. Oh Well!!

[szd2xm]

@marston623 you hit the nail on the head

[vinniecct]

You better bet somebody loves you!

[SuperC888]

Linda's version is best! The Eagles used to back her. That version is great too. Sigh

[madgeneral201]

my mom used to sing this song to me as a child . when Linda sings it , she reminds me of my mom . its like she knew all along how I was gonna turn out , smh .

[yescanto]

I came here to watch this because I was listening to Melanie Amaro from xfactor.. OMG this was just beautiful, Linda own's this song !!

[karrtt1234]

wonderful... amazing vocalist !

[5000loto]

Wished she would have just stuck to singing

[jasminefur]

Absolutely beautiful!

[Sue6008]

This is amazing! Is it possible to download this somehow? All the versions I can find in for ex. iTunes do not have that high note at the end, and she goes lower in other parts as well. This is also the only version I can find with only piano. Someone?

[Uberqueenbee]

AHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sigh,



[cricketandbuddy]

I'm 57 and I am from Linda's time. I just listened to this song by Carrie Underwood whom I love, but not even Carrie can sing this song like Linda! I think Kelly Clarkson would do it as well or maybe even better than Linda.

[HHSGDFootballJPD]

@cricketandbuddy I have a hard time faulting Carrie Underwood. I just did the same thing, and the worst part of Carrie's version is the electric guitar that announces itself when it shouldn't have. That I would blame much more to today's music. I would have to wait to judge Carrie until I hear her singing without everything else except for a piano or a guitar.

[TheKikogomez]

Is that i was seeing so far this same video that was already close to half a million views,and days ago that i don't see, that's why i asked,thank you for your interest,and thanks again because your videos has very good sound to enjoy this wonderful woman linda ronstadt for me the best singer of the 1970s in usa

[John1948EightB]

@TheKikogomez What?

[kbbpll]

Without the piano and it would still have blown an audience away. Try that sometime, Lady Blah-Blah.

[Mr73581251]

sounds from the heaven!

[rvcrvc2]

Thanks so much for posting this. I only remembered her as a great singer and beautiful women when she was a really great singer and amazingly beautiful

[lebtu]

Awesomeness!!!!

[linfinster]

3:07 is just plain NIRVANA! It is!

[ABeachAnchor]

about me Lamed

[deeway1963]

Her signature song. Just love it so! Thanks for the post! =)

[Symeezgurl]

Just the first word she sings give me chills. This live recording captures the spirit in the room, silent introflection and the joy of savoring our pain while in company of good friends.

[dsimpson314]

One piano. One beautiful voice.

Sad that so many young folks won't hear this....

[TubeScrewed]

God she was beautiful.

[thejohn1905]

Should have let somebody love me...too damn late now.
