I saw Linda in 1976. She came on stage barefoot, wearing a white peasant blouse and ragged jeans. No crazy light show, no dancers, just Linda and a 5 piece band. They blew the roof off, and she'll own my heart until the day I die.

When you are as talented as Linda and the rest of the great ones - you don't need light shows - large bands or anything else - just get onstage and give yourself to the music and to the audience and forget the rest

Gorgeous natural pipes. Linda did not care for these TV variety shows. She loved a real band to play with. She was young and exposing that glorious voice with this tune on a bunch of shows in 1970. She's being a trouper. In the end - that voice - OMG - that voice. Ronstadt would soon become a reluctant superstar. No one else in her vocal universe.

Came here to see her sing live because I heard her for the first time on The Last Of Us. Full body goosebumps. Undeniable talent. They picked a perfect song for that show.

I became a Linda Ronstadt fan the first time I heard "Different Drum" in 1968. But it was this song that made me fall in love with her. She makes you feel like she's singing to you. I think it was Roberta Flack who once said that Linda sings with a tear in her voice. This song always gets me a little teary-eyed. It's the best song ever about unrequited love. Of all her live versions, I think this is the best one. The date of this show is Oct. 14, 1970. Long Long Time was already her first solo hit. In 1971 it brought Linda her first Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Female Vocal Performance. She lost to Dionne Warwick's I'll Never Fall in Love Again. That's a good song and I like Dionne, but Linda should have won.

What a beautiful song that takes me back to summer 1970. I had just graduated from Illinois State Univ. with a BS in Science Ed. and had received my " greetings you are hereby ordered to report letter ", as my student deferment had expired upon graduation and I was #13 in the draft lottery..The US Army put me through Combat Corpsman School, Surgery Technician School and then on to Surgical OJT. We operated on Vietnam Battle casualties and many others in our operating rooms.My idyllic college days were over....in spades...I was to quickly grow up and witness the actual results of the "horrors of war " first hand, in surgical and on the job training. We worked on Vietnam casualties who were jetvacued from Nam straight to all of the Army, Navy and VA hospitals in the country. Casualties from the war were sent back to us for reconstructive surgeries. There were thousands of them that needed followup surgeries.I will never forget the long lines of wheelchairs full of amputees sitting in the hallways wheel to wheel waiting for followup procedures and wound dressing.It will always haunt me and make me feel sad.. I become critically and permanently disabled in a vehicle accident between duty stations , on my way to an overseas base in Germany. I discovered what it was like to be on both sides of the operating room table.I spent over a year in a hospital bed and had multiple surgical reconstructions to knee/legs I have had to deal with 48 years of pain and disability but my sacrifice was nothing compared to the heroes who gave all in their devotion to duty.I saw much pain and suffering and felt same.having spent 1.5 years in a hospital bed..I thank you vets for your service...service that always comes with a high cost..I especially thank my fellow comrades in the Medical Corps who did their very best to restore the great damages done to the minds and bodies of our great service men and women during the war...Dana - Combat Corpsman/ Op,Rm.

Caught in my fears Blinking back the tears I can't say you hurt me When you never let me near And I never drew one response from you All the while you fell all over girls you never knew. 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and make you mine And I think it's gonna hurt me For a long long time. Wait for the day you'll go away Knowing that you warned me Of the price I'd have to pay And life's full of flaws Who knows the cause? Living in the memory of a love that never was. 'Cause I've done everything I know To try and change your mind And I think I'm gonna miss you For a long long time.
