Linda Ronstadt - Silver threads & golden needles

[geoffk54]

I remember when this first came out, I think it was on Heart Like a Wheel. The song was so exciting & the album was a masterpiece. I saw Linda in concert in '75 at the Capitol Center in Landover, MD. She appeared with the Eagles in a benefit concert for Jerry Brown's presidential bid. Maryland was the only state that he won in the primaries. If you look at the lineup Russ Kunkel was married to Nicolette Larson, Kenny Edwards and Wendy Waldman were in Bryndle w/ Karla Bonoff & Andrew Gold.

Note to the band from a concerned listener:

Turn down that guitar and lose the synthesizer... band's playing way too loud, Linda's voice is definately straining here...

... and do you really need to have manager Peter Asher on precussion???

... I love these musicians but the 80's were just so bad for music. More people should have followed Steely Dan's lead and sat out the decade.
