LINDA RONSTADT
Live & TV Compilation ’72-’83 (42 Videos) Stereo Mixes 2024 DVD

Concert Review
Between 1972 and 1983, Linda Ronstadt reigned as one of the most powerful and versatile voices in American music. Live & TV Compilation ’72–’83 gathers 42 restored performances that chronicle her artistic journey from country-rock roots to pop-rock superstardom. It’s an anthology that feels like flipping through a living scrapbook of television’s golden era, where Ronstadt’s voice never missed and her presence only grew more magnetic with time.

From the early tenderness of The Midnight Special to the confident command of Live in Hollywood, every era is vividly captured. She slips between styles—country, pop, soul, and rock—with an ease few singers have ever managed. Performances like “Love Has No Pride,” “You’re No Good,” and “Blue Bayou” stand as masterclasses in emotional phrasing, while later hits such as “How Do I Make You” and “Hurts So Bad” pulse with electric energy and rock polish.

The dueling textures of grit and grace define this set. You can feel her band’s muscle during the Rockpalast sessions and her quiet vulnerability in the Old Grey Whistle Test ballads. By the time the final 1983 TV appearances roll in, Ronstadt has become a fully realized artist—confident, iconic, and timeless.
