On February 13, 1974, 3 dozen years ago today, Linda Ronstadt played the Michigan Palace in Detroit, as captured in this high quality audience recording. At the time she was serving as the lead-in for Jackson Browne for many shows, but the Jackson Browne website lists him playing at Cobo Hall in Detroit that night and does not say Linda lead in. Kind of strange that they would be on tour together, be in the same city, yet play different venues! In any event, Ronstadt was on tour in support of her album Don't Cry Now, which had been released in September 1973. Don't Cry Now became Ronstadt's second gold album and would be followed in late 1974 by her masterpiece, Heart Like a Wheel.

In 1982, while Bruce Springsteen was recording the solo acoustic album Nebraska, E Street band guitarist, Miami Steve Van Zandt began recording his debut solo disc, Men Without Women. Billing himself as Little Steven, to distance himself from any Springsteen comparison, Van Zandt also recruited his own backing band, which he christened the Disciples of Soul. The album was not, unfortunately, a commercial success, failing to crack the Billboard 100. The single from the disc, Forever, climbed to only #63 on the charts, despite having a video for the song in heavy rotation on MTv. The lack of chart success did not stop the band from touring. On July 18, 1982 Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul made their live debut at the Peppermint Lounge. This soundboard recording captures them 8 months later, live in Toronto on February 10, 1983, 27 years ago today.
