This is good! That's all I got to say about that.

We didn't have MTV back in 73 but we had the Midnight Special. LOL

Skunk Baxter on congas, what?
Outstanding!!🎶👍✌️💕

[mazfriend]

I think this is her best live performance of this song on YouTube. Linda Ronstadt is incredible.

[bloozedaddy]

Let's have Skunk Baxter on congas and Richie Hayward from Little Feat on drums with Andrew Gold on guitar....you MIGHT just get funky

[fernandorosales]

Only Linda can have one of the greatest guitar players of the world like Jeff "The Skunk" Baxter playing congas!

The back up singer in gold is gorgeous!!

[richolmsted]

During the instrumental break in the middle I thought the band was gonna blow up the stage. What a great live performance by all involved.

[joerectifier]

That is one powerful groove and rhythym. And who would not want to hear and see Linda unleash the powerful and tuneful pipes of hers. Fantastc

I remember the night this aired. I'd never heard Ronstadt before and was knocked out. As soon as I was able, I went to some record stores to acquire this great song -- and it wasn't available. It wasn't until months later that Linda did a proper studio recording, and it was around a *year* later that I finally heard it on the radio. It would never happen today for an artist to perform a song on national television without having "product to sell, " as they say.

Slamming the vocals and letting her band shine. Clear, confident and on the verge of Superstardom. Linda never swam in her own reflection - it was the musical groove that mattered.

[kerrysteffens]

Just killing it. Screaming from the depths of her soul "I'm gonna say it again"

[Kozot]

Back musician.
Conga : Jeff "Skunk" Baxter Doobie Bros.
Drums : Ritchie Hayward Little Feat.
Guitar : Andrew Gold

A wonderful and unusual combinatio !

[timb.]

A dream of a singer, and an A-list band behind her. Lots of firepower, lots of fun. The percussion drives it.

[mattjohn]

Now that's what singing looks like.

[afraidofrobots]

There is SO MUCH talent on that stage. Wow.

[JosephDungee]

She's Just Freakin' AMAZING!

[Redfour]

I know exactly where I was when this played live... I was in the Marines just before Xmas and I wasn't going home... So, I was down at the EM club drinkin beers, playin pool and this came on and I fell in love with her right then and there. One of those points in time...that sticks with you... It was the first time I was even aware of her as an artist...not to mention how good she looked.

[desertrain]

WOW! That is Jeff Skunk Baxter playing Bongos! Dang! I never knew a guitar hero like Baxter could ripp it hard on percussion! Nice!!!
