Linda Ronstadt - 1975-01-29 - Hempstead, NY (SBD)

In November 1974, Linda Ronstadt released the album Heart Like A Wheel, produced in collaboration with Peter Asher and Andrew Gold. The result, a more refined and streamlined mix of Country and Rock than her previous releases, proved to be Ronstadt's commercial breakthrough. The disc would become Ronstadt’s first number 1 album on the Billboard charts, reaching that perch the same week in February 1975 that her single, You’re No Good, did the same! Within weeks of that event, Rolling Stone would feature Linda on the cover for the very first time. The album would eventually spend 51 weeks on the charts, and Billboard would name Ronstadt as their Female Pop Artist of the Year! After years of critical acclaim, Ronstadt had become an “overnight sensation". She would reign for the rest of the decade and well into the 80’s as the Queen of Rock. This soundboard recording captures Linda on January 29, 1975, 37 years ago today, at the Calderone Concert Hall, right as Heart Like a Wheel and You’re No Good were making their climb to the top of the charts. Download this one to hear Ronstadt on the cusp of super stardom.
