Speedy stopped by long enough to point out he has the FULL concert of my little clip of Linda doing the Buddy Holly cover of It Doesn’t Matter Anymore and he has even posted a link so that’s nice and you will find it in the comments so to reciprocate here is his entry from way back

Speedy said then: For Linda Ronstadt, the year 1977 began by being featured on the cover of Time Magazine on February 28. For any rock artist to make the cover of Time was a major event, for a woman to do it was historic. She ended the year still on top of the rock world,with the release of the album Simple Dreams. The disc spent 5 weeks at number 1 on the Billboard charts. Two singles from the album, Blue Bayou at # 2 and It's So Easy at #5, were both in the Billboard Top 5 at the same time, making Ronstadt the first female artist to accomplish that feat. The album also included Poor Poor Pitiful Me, written by Warren Zevon, and a cover of the Rolling Stones’ Tumbling Dice. Simple Dreams was Ronstadt's fifth consecutive Platinum album, selling over 3½ million copies in less than a year in the United States alone. This soundboard recording captures Ronstadt on tour in support of Simple Dreams on December 1, 1977, 35 years ago today, in Atlanta, GA. Download this one to hear the first lady of rock at her peak.

go check out his other Links to Linda here (above) although I cannot guarantee they are all still available (bet they are! - ED) but if not ask Speedy nicely and he will let us know!
Linda Ronstadt - When Will I Be Loved Atlanta 1977
the whole lot of videos of this fine gig are still up on YouTube so go search them but I should point out they are not the best quality (see here); the visuals are fuzzy soft and the sound quite muddy and not a patch on Speedy’s download (of course!) so check them out by all means but . . . . . you know what to do!
