The Legendary 1976 German Broadcast & The 1977 Fox Theatre Broadcast

Recent health issues may have forced Linda Ronstadt into retirement, but the vintage live performances paired together on The Legendary German Broadcast/The 1977 Fox Theatre Broadcast offer a reminder of what a magisterial voice she possessed. Filmed at the height of Ronstadt's popularity, when every album she released was seemingly destined to reach the upper echelons of the US charts, these two concerts are stuffed with country-rock classics (Silver Threads And Golden Needles, Hasten Down The Wind, Heart Like A Wheel) sung by the woman who defined them. Ronstadt may have staged her final public performance in 2009, but the recordings gathered here attest to the timeless influence she continues to have on the generations of singer-songwriters who have come up in her wake.
