Various Artists - Playboy After Dark (CBS Television City, Los Angeles, CA), Volume 10: April 1970

Here's another volume of music I compiled from episodes of the "Playboy After Dark" TV show. This is the tenth. There's only one more after this.

There's a lot of variety on this album, with country, soul, jazz, and rock. Some highlights are B.B. King, Billy Preston, and Linda Ronstadt making her second appearance. 

A couple of songs have "[Edit]" in their titles. This is due to the usual problem with this series, of people talking over the music. (Especially the T.W.A. advertisements I keep mentioning.) So I fixed those in the usual way, with the help of the MVSEP program. 

By the way, Barbara McNair is a rare case of one of the performers for this show who also posed naked for Playboy Magazine. But it's not like she had to do that in order to get on the show. She'd had an established career starting in the late 1950s, as a singer and an actress for plays, T.V., and movies. She was signed to Motown Records from around 1966 to 1969. She even had her own T.V. show from 1969 to 1971, called "The Barbara McNair Show." 

Her career would take a hit in 1972, however, when she was arrested for heroin possession, because she signed for a package sent to her house containing heroin. However, charges against her were later dropped, and her husband was charged instead. It seems like her husband was a seriously bad dude. He was murdered in 1976. It was alleged he was involved in the Mafia, and was killed at the same time he was trying to put a hit out on someone else.

You can read her Wikipedia entry here:

This album is an hour and ten minutes long.

Various Artists - Playboy After Dark (CBS Television City, Los Angeles, CA), Volume 6: October to November 1969

Here's the sixth volume of the episodes I compiled of the "Playboy After Dark" TV show. This also is the first album from the show's second (and final) season. Note the big time jump, between Volume 5 ending in January 1969 and this one starting in October 1969 - that's most of a year.

This show tended to have a lot of repeat guests. Consider the soul group Checkmates, Ltd. This already was their third episode. Many of the other guests on volume made or would make appearances on other volumes as well. I think it was especially common for a musical act to appear on an episode in the show's first season, and then another one in the second season.

There are more incidents of "[Edit]" - four - in this volume than in any previous ones. That's because there was more talking over the music in the second season. One particularly annoying aspect was that each episode of this season ended had a brief spoken advertisement for T.W.A. Airlines over the final song. In most cases, I was able to successfully wipe such talking while keeping the underlying music, thanks to the UVR5 audio editing program.

There's a surprising number of songs performed on this T.V. that were never officially released in any form. Consider the duet between Linda Ronstadt and Billy Eckstine. If you listen to the banter before the song started, it seems Ronstadt was very reluctant to sing it, and had to be coaxed into it. That could be prepared dialogue, but in the case, it seemed like a genuinely spontaneous performance to me. As far as I can tell, this was the one and only time Ronstadt performed that song in public.

The duet between Checkmates, Ltd. and Carla Thomas on "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" is similarly unique to this TV show. I also couldn't find any release of "Soul Man" by Bill Medley (who was one half of the Righteous Brothers). Similarly, "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" was never released by Sonny & Cher (or by solo Cher, for that matter). It also seems Carla Thomas never released any version of "Abraham, Martin and John." And it's a similar case with the other volumes.

If anyone knows the name of the instrumental performed by Canned Heat, please let me know so I can give it a proper name. 

This album is an hour and eight minutes long.

For this series, it was hard for me to pick the cover art, because I could take screenshots of any of the musical acts, and there are always a few good ones to choose from. I didn't choose Linda Ronstadt because she gets a cover later in this series. A key reason I decided on a picture of Cher is because the screenshot I took shows comedian Bill Cosby playing bass in the background. (One can see some of his faced, with sunglasses and cigar, and a little bit of his hands on an upright bass.) 

At the time, Cosby was a widely beloved star. But nowadays, he has been revealed to be a serial rapist. So his appearance on this show can be seen in a whole new light. And he didn't appear just on this episode, he appeared on a LOT of them. I'd guess about a dozen, probably more than any other famous guest. A lot of the time, as in the episode shown on the cover here, he wasn't doing a stand-up routine, but instead was just kind of lurking around. In hindsight, it's super creepy to imagine what Crosby might have been doing behind the scenes with all the beautiful women there. It's symbolic of how the whole carefully constructed image of Playboy has also been torn down, now that we know more. Anyway, I just thought I'd mention that.

Various Artists - Peace Sunday, Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA, 6-6-1982, Part 5: Linda Ronstadt & Nicolette Larson, Bette Midler, Jackson Browne, Gary U.S. Bonds, and Tom Petty

Here's the fifth out of five albums that make up the "Peace Sunday" concert in 1982.

I'll just paste in a paragraph I wrote in my post for Part 2, since it still applies here:

If you want a full explanation of what the concert was about, please read my write-up for Part 1. In that, I also explained about the sound quality issue. In short, the only known source for the whole concert is an audience bootleg. It didn't sound very good, so this concert recording hasn't been shared that much. But I could tell there was potential there, if I could get rid of most of the much. As I explained in detail in my write-up, I think I did get rid of most of it. It still doesn't have excellent sound, but it's pretty good, and worthy of being posted at my blog, where I have pretty high sound quality standards.

This big concert ended with a bunch of star performers. Linda Ronstadt dominated the first half of this part of the concert. During her set, she let her friend Nicolette Larson sing one song, while Larson and Rosemary Butler sang back-up on another song. Then Bette Midler just sang one song, acappella style, and also made a lot of funny comments.

Jackson Browne dominated the second half of this part of the concert. After performing three songs, he had Gary U.S. Bonds sing one song, "This Little Girl," which was a hit in 1981. Then Browne and Bonds sang a song together, "The Pretender." The song was written by Browne and released by him in 1975. But Bonds did a version on his 1981 album. After that, Tom Petty showed up to sing two songs, with Browne backing him up. Curiously, he sang two cover versions instead of any of his own songs. Perhaps that was because he was backed by Browne's band instead of the Heartbreakers, like he was used to.

At the very end, all the stars from earlier in the concert came back to sing two songs. First, Graham Nash led the others on his song "Teach Your Children." Then everyone sang "Give Peace a Chance," originally by John Lennon. But this version skipped the verses (with very hard to remember lyrics) and just repeated the chorus over and over again. 

Two songs, "Blue Bayou" and "I Only Want to Be with You," have "[Edit]" in their titles. As I mentioned in my Part 1 write-up, I did a lot of editing on all the songs. But those two needed even more work on top of that. For instance, with "Blue Bayou" the first verse had the sound of some person near the taper talking through it. But luckily the verse was repeated later, so I patched in sections of that to get rid of that person's voice. 

This album is an hour and eight minutes long.

Note that, for all the parts, the track numbers continue from the numbers in the previous part. That way, you can put all the songs together and listen to the whole thing at once if you want.

I got really lucky when it comes to this concert. I only found a handful of photos from the whole thing, but that was just enough to find good ones for four out of the five parts. This one shows Tom Petty (in front) and Jackson Browne during this part of the concert.

Various Artists - MusiCares Tribute to Dolly Parton, Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, CA, 2-8-2019

Here's another MusiCares tribute concert. This one honors Dolly Parton.

I'm running out of MusiCares concerts to post. (I only have one more after this.) The problem is, these annual concerts have small audiences who have to pay big donations to get in, plus there are metal detectors. So audience bootlegs are almost unheard of. The reason we have a worthy recording of this one is that it was broadcast as a one-hour special on Netflix. I streamed the audio from that, and cut it into mp3s. Let's hope this isn't a one-off and other MusiCares will come out in similar ways.

This concert followed the usual format: guest stars singing covers of songs by the person being honored, then that person giving an acceptance speech, then that person playing a couple of songs. In this case though, it seems Parton only sang one song at the end.

Unfortunately, this album is quite short for such concerts at less than an hour. That's because some songs were not included in the Netflix special, and I couldn't find them elsewhere. I know at least Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood sang a duet version of  "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You." I'm not sure if there are others. (As usual, if anyone has any of the missing songs, please let me know so I can include them.)

I also found it a bit surprising that Emmylou Harris didn't sing a song, since she was there. She and Linda Ronstadt gave a short introduction speech for Parton. Perhaps she did sing, and that's another missing song. Or it could be she didn't sing out of respect for Linda Ronstadt, who gave the introduction speech with her, but can no longer sing due to troubles with her vocal chords. Since Parton, Harris, and Ronstadt recorded two "Trio" albums together, it might have been rough on Ronstadt seeing the other two sing but not her. I don't know, that's just a guess. 

At least what we have here has excellent sound quality.

UPDATE: On February 19, 2026, I updated the mp3 download file. When I first posted this, it was missing "Jolene," performed by Pink. In my original notes, I commented that this was a shame, because that's one of Parton's signature songs, along with "I Will Always Love You." But a kind person sent me this missing song. Unfortunately, the sound quality is rougher than the rest. Also, it got cut off at the end. The person who sent me the song said it was taped off the TV, and that's when the broadcast ended, so maybe that's all that's available. As a result, I put it at the end. I did my best to improve the sound quality. I used the MVSEP program to split the vocals from the rest and then I ran the vocal through a Reverb Removal filter. That helped a lot, but still, there was only so much I could do.  

This album is 50 minutes long.

Kate & Anna McGarrigle with Linda Ronstadt & Maria Muldaur - In Concert, Red Creek Cabaret, Rochester, NY, 6-12-1984

I stumbled across this the other day, and thought it interesting enough to post it straight away. I've been wanting to post something from Kate and Anna McGarrigle for some time. The fact that this prominently features Linda Ronstadt and Maria Muldaur made it extra appealing to me.

This comes from a TV special called "Kate and Anna McGarrigle in Concert." (I shortened it to just "In Concert" for the title because extra long titles can cause problems sometimes.) It was held in a small club in the out of the way town of Rochester, New York, for some reason. I took this from a video, converted it to audio, and broke it into mp3s. If you look at the video, only a couple hundred of people filled the club.

Most of the songs just featured Kate and Anna McGarrigle and their band. But on some songs, Linda Ronstadt and/or Maria Muldaur joined in. Sometimes they sang lead, and sometimes backing vocals. You can get the gist of what they did on each song by looking at the song list.  

Kate and Anna McGarrigle were a talented singing and songwriting duo, as well as sisters. (Kate died in 2010 at the age of 63, but Anna is still alive as I write this in 2025.) They never had any hit albums or singles per se, but they were consistently critically acclaimed. Other musical acts liked covering their songs. That's probably why Linda Ronstadt and Maria Muldaur were here, as a kind of thank you since both of them put songs written by McGarrigle on their albums. (And in a better world, "Love Over and Over" should have been a hit - I love that song. I'm glad to see it was included here.)

I have a difficult time coming up with the cover. The video footage from this concert is very low-res and blurry. So any picture with multiple people in it looked pretty bad. I decided to take screenshots of the heads of Kate McGarrigle and Linda Ronstadt when they were reasonably close to each other. Then I used Photoshop to move them closer still. I also used the Krea AI program to flesh out some more detail.

Linda Ronstadt - Live at the Record Plant, Record Plant, Sausalito, CA, 11-18-1973

Recently, I decided to add "Live at the Record Plant" radio shows to my list of priority postings. So here's one from 1973 starring Linda Ronstadt.

Based on the banter between songs, it seems there was a lot of confusion during this recording. The radio show just started broadcasting everything that was happening without any commercial breaks. You can hear that Ronstadt didn't really get that until well into the show. I cut out some diddling around and dead air between songs, but you can still hear some of that. 

One interesting thing about this performance is that it includes a version of "You're No Good." She started performing it in concerts in early 1973, but treated it as just another song. But she didn't release it until late 1974, and even then it was a last-minute addition to fill out her next album. But it was released as a single and went all the way to Number One in the U.S., turning her into a big star. 

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is very good. 

This album is 55 minutes long.

Various Artists - Lowell George Tribute Concert, The Forum, Los Angeles, CA, 8-4-1979

Lowell George was the lead guitarist and a key songwriter for the band Little Feat throughout the 1970s. In 1979, the band split up due to creative differences, and George released a solo album. He announced plans to restart the band with a slightly different line-up. But on June 29, 1979, while on tour to support his solo album, he died of a heart attack related to an accidental heroin overdose. He was only 34 years old. Only a couple of months after his death, a tribute concert was held in Los Angeles to celebrate his life and his music. Here is what remains available from that concert.

I'm posting this album almost entirely due to the efforts of musical friend Lil Panda. A couple of days ago (as I write this in August 2025), he sent me this concert out of the blue. He'd found a video from the concert on YouTube. The sound quality was fundamentally good, but had issues. I asked him what he did to fix it, and this was his reply: "Phase correction, azimuth adjustment, de-clicking, music rebalance (different for almost every song... trial and error), the repair assistant (vocal work), and spectral repair." So, thanks to his work, this should sound much better than ever before.

Furthermore, I made some additional changes, since I'm more willing to make changes to bootlegs if I think it improves the overall recording. I noticed some minor drop-outs here and there, usually only a second or less of silence. I patched those up when I found them. That's why three of the songs have "[Edit]" in their titles. 

In addition, the video did something strange with the songs "Running on Empty" and "All That You Dream." If you watch the video, they're edited to seem complete, but in fact both of them were edited way down, to less than two minutes long each. By sheer luck, the only officially released performance from this concert is "All That You Dream," from the Little Feat album "Hoy Hoy," and it's the entire song. So I used that instead. For "Running on Empty," most of the song except for the first verse and some of the end was missing. I used a different live version of this song, from the 1979 No Nukes concerts that I've posted elsewhere on this blog, to fill in the missing part of the song. But there are some differences between the versions, so you might notice the edits. Still, I prefer that over having a weirdly short version. That's why that song has "[Edit]" in its title too.

In addition, I made another edit to all the songs. That's because the video usually cut the cheering at the ends of the songs short, to just a couple of seconds. It didn't sound right to me. So I did some copying and pasting of cheering from one song to another until all the songs had a decent amount of applause. 

I found a 1979 New York Times article about the concert, so I know a little bit about it. Here's the article link (though it may not work for you if you don't have a subscription):

https://www.nytimes.com/1979/08/06/archives/pop-coast-tribute-to-lowell-george.html 

According to the concert, the proceeds from the concert were given to George's family. The concert lasted almost three hours. In addition to the big names included in this album, some others also took part, like Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers, Eric Kaz, Craig Fuller, J. D. Souther, Ted Tempelman, and the Tower of Power. But the video here is less than an hour long, and a lot got cut out. Either their roles were cut entirely or they only had minor roles. For instance, Michael McDonald sang back up on one song here, and the Tower of Power horns played on a few of the songs. Generally speaking, Little Feat was the backing band. But I didn't include them in most of the song credits because that would have made the song names longer and I didn't know for sure who played on which song.

The article states that some big musical stars, like Bob Dylan and the Eagles, wanted to perform at the concert as well. However, the surviving Little Feat band members who organized the concert decided to keep it to just the other musicians who knew George well. There also was pressure to have more than one concert, since interest was extremely high, but they decided not to go that route either.

The concert was filmed and recorded with the idea of later releasing an album or film of it. But so far, only that one song mentioned above has been officially released, on a Little Feat album. I've read on social media that it is believed the rest of the film footage has been lost. So this is probably all we're ever going to get. I couldn't even find any information about what other songs were performed, though there must have been many since this is only about one-third of the entire concert.

Thanks again to Lil Panda for digging this up, improving it, and sending it to me. 

This album is 53 minutes long.

I had difficulty finding any decent photographs from this concert. There's an entire video of it on YouTube, as mentioned above, but the image quality is very low-res. I eventually found one image I was okay with, which I used as the cover. From right to left, it shows Nicolette Larson, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, and Linda Ronstadt. Souther's prominent role is a bit ironic, since he doesn't feature in the actual music here, due to whatever songs he was in not making it to the video. It kind of looks like I edited the photo to squish everyone close together, but in fact that's how it was in the original.

The image was still in pretty poor shape, so I tried to use the Krea AI program to improve it. But I could only do so much, so it's still rough. I also couldn't change the lighting that turned most everything orange, though I tried to make it more colorful.

Linda Ronstadt with Marian McPartland - Mechanics Hall, Worchester, MA, 4-10-2005

I recently posted an album from the start of Linda Ronstadt's music career. Here's one from near the end of her career. This is an unreleased concert of her singing jazz standards, backed only by the piano playing of Marian McPartland.

Marian McPartland was a jazz pianist for a long, long time. At the time of this concert, she was almost ninety years old! She died in 2013, at the age of 95. From 1978 to 2011, she hosted a music show on NPR radio called "Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz." This is from an episode of that show. It was recorded in 2013, but for some reason it wasn't broadcast until years later. (I also posted a concert of Norah Jones on McPartland's show, which you can do a search here for.) 

In late 2004, Linda Ronstadt released a studio album of jazz standards called "Hummin' to Myself." It was similar in style to the three albums she made with Nelson Riddle in the 1980s, and she said many of the songs were ones she never got around to doing back in those years. Ronstadt's voice was still in fine form for the album and this concert. But as it turns out, that wouldn't be the case for long. The last album she did was in 2006, the last time she sang on stage was in 2009, and her last studio recording is from about 2010. She gradually lost the ability to sing, due to a degenerative condition called "progressive supranuclear palsy." 

This concert had a lot of discussion between Ronstadt and McPartland between songs. In fact, it was too much talking for my tastes. So I cut out a lot of it. Much of it was easy to cut, parts that consisted of McPartland identifying the name of her radio show and talking about NPR. But also, there were many minutes in which the entire life story of Ronstadt was discussed in detail, amongst other things. I wanted to keep the focus on the songs that were being played. So I kept the talking that was relevant to that, and got rid of everything else. If you want to hear the whole thing, there are other versions of this bootleg that can be easily found.

I was surprised that only three songs performed were from the "Hummin' to Myself" album: "Tell Him I Said Hello," "I Fall in Love Too Easily," and "Miss Otis Regrets." Most or all of the other songs are from the three albums she did with Nelson Riddle in the 1980s, mentioned above. There also is an instrumental near the end composed by McParland that doesn't involve Ronstadt.

This album is 45 minutes long.

Linda Ronstadt - Lenox Arts Center Lenox, MA, 8-12-1972

Linda Ronstadt had a hit single ("Different Drum") in 1967 with the band the Stone Poneys, when she was 21 years old. In 1970, after starting her solo career, she had another small hit with "Long, Long Time." But otherwise, she struggled a little bit. She didn't really have a big hit until late 1974, when "You're No Good" reached Number One in the U.S. As a result, there aren't many bootlegs from the earliest years of her music career, and no official albums from that time. 

I'd never come across any bootleg concerts from her prior to 1973. So I was pleased to discover this one from 1972. It's a soundboard bootleg, and sounds great. Yet it's never been widely shared as far as I know, since I couldn't find it on SoulseekQT or popular trading sites. I got it from a streaming source, and had to convert it to audio and cut it up into mp3s. So if you're a fan of her music, this is a great find, with mostly different songs than when she hit it big a couple of years later.

By the time of this concert, Ronstadt had released three solo albums, with "Linda Ronstadt" released in January 1972 being the most recent one. Naturally, most of the songs are from those albums. But one song, "Mail Order Dog," was written and sung by one of the band members, Richard Bowden, and he also talked for about three minutes before it started.

Overall, this sounds excellent, but there were a few problems. The first minute of the first song, "I Fall to Pieces," was missing. I found another version of the same song from a 1973 bootleg, and I used that to fill in the missing section. But I have to admit I didn't do that good of a job with it. The versions were performed somewhat differently, and the sound quality difference is stark, so I'm sure the transition point will stick out for you. But I figure that's better than only half a song. 

It was a similar situation with the last two songs, "Rose City Chimes" and "Rescue Me." That's why all three have "[Edit]" in their titles. For "Rose City Chimes," I mostly just had to patch in some applause at the beginning and end of the song. For "Rescue Me," I had to do that as well. But I also had to patch in about the first minute as well. I took that from her 1972 album "Linda Ronstadt," since the version on that album actually was from a concert.

This album is 40 minutes long.

Linda Ronstadt - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, Arlington Theatre, Santa Barbara, CA, 3-9-1984

Back in early 2024, when I posted a Linda Ronstadt BBC concert from 1976, I wrote in my write-up that I would probably change the name of that album eventually, because she was so famous that it was likely she did other BBC concerts. Recently, I had time to do a deep dive, and I found this one. So that's good. But unfortunately, I think it's pretty likely she didn't do any others, since I couldn't find any hints of them. 

In the mid-1980s, Ronstadt dove deeply into Great American Songbook - that body of classic songs from the pre-rock and roll era, mostly the 1930s and 40s. In 1983, she released the album "What's New." Then, in 1984, the album "Lush Life." Finally, she released "For Sentimental Reasons" in 1986. All three consisted only of covers from that era, all of them recorded with famed conductor Nelson Riddle and his orchestra. (She's backed by that orchestra here as well.) This concert took place after the first album, "What's New." But already she went all in. ALL of the songs here were decades old at the time of the concert, with NONE of her hits from the 1970s. I think that's cool that she went all the way with this style, but just be ware if you're looking for her most famous songs.

The "What's New" album only contains nine songs, but she performed 14 songs here. She only did seven songs from that album, so where are the other songs from? "Falling in Love Again" would appear on her next album, "Lush Life." But the others pretty much were only done by her live during this tour. (A version of "Mr. Sandman" would eventually appear on her "Trios" album with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris.) So this concert is pretty important for serious fans, as there's almost an album's worth of songs she never put on studio albums.

By the way, if you want to get the renamed "Volume 1," here's the link:

Linda Ronstadt - BBC Sessions, Volume 1: Old Grey Whistle Test, New Victoria Theatre, London, Britain, 11-13-1976

Here's a concert Linda Ronstadt performed for the BBC, done for the "Old Grey Whistle Test" TV show in 1976.

In August 1976, Ronstadt released the studio album "Hasten Down the Wind." It continued her steady rise in popularity, though her next album, "Simple Dreams," would be her biggest seller. Six of the songs here are from "Hasten Down the Wind" - tracks 2, 3, 10, 12, 14, and 17. The rest come from her previous albums.

Everything here is unreleased. I haven't seen any audio bootlegs of this concert anywhere. However, it was a TV appearance, and I found a high quality video file of it. So I converted it to audio and broke it into mp3s. The sound quality is excellent throughout.

The only downside is that this is shorter than a typical concert, no doubt edited down to fit the time allowed on the TV show. This album is 48 minutes long.

UPDATE: On March 10, 2025, I updated the mp3 download file. The music is the same, but I changed the name of the album, adding "Volume 1" after I discovered material for a "Volume 2."

Cat Stevens with Dr. John and Linda Ronstadt - Moon and Star: ABC In Concert, Aquarius Theater, Hollywood, CA, 11-9-1973

Here's a really nice Cat Stevens concert bootleg. I've known about it for a long time, but I avoided posting it because the sound quality was just okay. However, I found a better version, good enough to share.

Stevens did very little touring or promotion in 1972 or 1973 after doing a lot in 1970 and 1971. That was so much the case that there was a rumor he'd been stricken with tuberculosis again, like he'd been back in 1969. That wasn't the case. He probably was just tired of the star making merry-go-round. 

But in late 1973, he put out a new studio album, "Foreigner," with a single song, "Foreigner Suite," that was 18 minutes long and took up half of the album. That was new musical territory for him, and he wanted people to hear it. He basically put all of his promotional eggs in this one basket. ABC already had a music show called "In Concert" that was an hour long, and usually featured different hit performers. But this was an hour and a half long special episode that was devoted just to Stevens. Well, almost, probably to broaden the appeal, Dr. John sang one song and Linda Ronstadt sang two. But in a nice twist, the songs they sang were written by Stevens and had never been recorded by them before (or since). 

This episode was called "Moon and Star," not "Moon and Stars." (I found some ads for the show, so I'm sure.) That no doubt named after his song, "The Boy with the Moon and Star on His Head."

I've read a review or two of this concert, thanks to a Cat Stevens fan site. Clearly, there were bits that are missing from this recording, because there's no banter at all between songs. However, there was very little of that. The reviews noted that Stevens basically did no talking. In the 1970s, it was very popular of TV shows like this to have a monologue with jokes, or skirts, etc... It's very cheesy in retrospect. But Stevens avoided all that and just played his songs. It was basically a normal concert in a normal club in the Los Angeles area, but with a film crew there.

The recording of this concert I found did have a few words of a DJ talking. But I cut that out since it was literally only a few words at the tail end of sentence. Getting the songs to flow was a problem, because typically one track would end with lots of applause suddenly cut off, and then the next track would begin with relative silence. So I usually patched in more applause from elsewhere in the concert, then had that trail off or fade out, so it would fit with how the next song started. Hopefully, the concert show flow well now.

This concert is an hour and ten minutes long. The only twenty minutes for the hour and a half show were for brief introductions plus commercials.

The Eagles with Linda Ronstadt & Jackson Browne - Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, Beacon Theater, New York City, 7-19-1974

In the 1970s, there was a U.S. music TV show called "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert." In 1974, that show had an episode focusing on the Eagles, with guests Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne. The three artists were musically linked. The Eagles started out as Ronstadt's backing band in 1971. Browne helped the Eagles get a record contract, and his song "Take It Easy" was co-written by Eagles band member Glenn Fry (who also lived in the same apartment building as he did for a time). Most of the songs here were performed by the Eagles, but Ronstadt got to sing lead on three songs, and Browne on two.

This TV show looms larger in retrospect. By 1974, the Eagles, Ronstadt, and Browne were all successful, to be sure. But as the 1970s went on, they would become much more successful, each of them becoming musical superstars for a time. So this was a very inspired gathering of talent.

The sound quality is very good. I'm guessing that all of the songs appear here, but some of the talking between songs has been lost. I'm basing that on the fact that Ronstadt got introduced but Browne did not. Surely he deserved an introduction too. Anyway, the main thing is that the music survives.

This album is an hour and seven minutes long.

Linda Ronstadt with Country Gazette - McCabe's Guitar Shop, Los Angeles, CA, 6-2-1973

The other day, I stumbled across a pretty rare Linda Ronstadt concert bootleg. I really like it, as almost all of the songs are country songs that she didn't put on any of her albums or normally play in concert, and the sound quality is excellent. So I'm posting it here to help give it more attention.

Apparently, in the mid-1970s, Ronstadt occasionally played with this band, the Country Gazette, doing all country covers. Sometimes, she did the same with John Starling. But for whatever reason, these generally haven't been bootlegged, with this one exception. Most of it sounds excellent, as is probably a soundboard. But note that the sound quality for the first two songs isn't as good, with a bit more murk and hiss. Even those two sound pretty decent though.

As an aside, while I was searching the Internet to learn more about this, I came across a similar recording, of both Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris playing with the Seldom Scene in 1975. But, weirdly, they're part of an archive at the University of North Carolina at Raleigh, and you can only download the mp3s if you are physically on that campus! So if anyone reading this is a student there, please do us a favor and free these up for everyone else to hear:

https://dc.lib.unc.edu/cdm/search/searchterm/Linda%20Ronstadt%20and%20Emmylou%20Harris%20with%20The%20Seldom%20Scene/order/nosort

Anyway, getting back to this concert, although Ronstadt put a fair number of country songs on her early 1970s albums, only one of the songs here, "Crazy Arms," had appeared on any of her albums at the time of this concert. Another one, "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)," would appear on her 1974 album, and would be a minor country hit. So this is pretty much a "lost" Ronstadt album, except performed live.

The location of the concert is not in question. But I had a hard time figuring out just when this concert took place. Some bootlegs have it in 1974, with no specific date, but others have it in 1972, also without a specific date. I also found a comment on the Internet from someone who claimed to have been to the exact show, and taped it, and was certain it took place on June 2, 1973. I wasn't sure which way to go, until I listened to the banter between the songs. At one point, Ronstadt talked about how she'd recently been the opening act for a Neil Young tour. I Googled that, and found out that tour with Young and Ronstadt took place in early 1973 (the "Time Fades Away" tour), and ended in April 1973. Thus, the June 2, 1973 fits her comments perfectly, and must be correct.

I should note that I'm not that into country music, and I'm not that big of a Linda Ronstadt fan either. But I like this album! It's a good bunch of songs, sung and performed very well, with some nice banter between the songs.

This concert is fairly short, at only 35 minutes long.

Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris - Warfield Theatre, San Francisco, CA, 9-10-1999

I imagine you'd heard of Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris, two great singers with long careers. The two of them joined up with Dolly Parton and put out a couple of albums as a trio, including one in early 1999. Then, later in 1999, Ronstadt and Harris put out their only album as a duo, called "Western Wall: The Tuscon Sessions." After the album came out, the two of them went on tour, but it seems they only did a small number or shows. Unfortunately, Ronstadt's voice began deteriorating around 2000, and she ended her music career around 2009. That means there won't be any other Ronstadt and Harris concerts other than the few ones in late 1999.

So we're lucky that we have a bootleg of their concert collaboration at all. But we're even luckier that this bootleg recording sound absolutely fantastic! I'm guessing the show might have been professionally recorded for a possible live album, because it sounds that good. The only snag with it is that the soundboard is so excellent that one could barely hear the audience at all. To compensate for that, I've boosted the cheering after each song, to make it sound like a typical live album.

In terms of musical content, the two singers stayed on stage for the entire concert and generally sang harmonies on each other's songs. They were backed up by a top-notch band. They leaned heavily on their new album "Western Wall," playing pretty much every song from it. They also did songs from the most recent trio album, "Trio II," as well as songs from earlier in their careers. Overall, the song list is pretty different from typical song lists of when they did concerts on their own, even from that general era.

The concert is fairly long, at two hours and ten minutes. If you're a fan of either singer, you should check this out. But I think they sound even better together than they do on their own. Too bad their collaboration didn't last longer, probably due to Ronstadt's vocals problems.
