Linda Ronstadt/New Jersey, USA 1996

While sound sources from the 70’s and 80’s are in circulation, this is a rare 90’s live performance in Holmdel, New Jersey, held on July 19, 1996, in an astonishingly high quality audience recording for that time. Since live performances were one-off during this period, very few recordings remain, and of course this live performance was the first to appear in recent years, and moreover, it was from the 1980s when he challenged the jazz standard by collaborating with Nelson Riddle. Similarly, it started with jazz numbers such as “What’s New” and “It Never Entered My Mind” with a gorgeous orchestra in the background. After that, he performed many famous songs such as “Just One Look” and “Desperado”, and his mature singing voice is sure to be irresistible to fans of the past. The varied set list is also attractive, and the sound quality, which makes you think it’s a soundboard at first listen, is a must-listen item for fans. DISC 1 : 1. Opening 2. What’s New 3.
