Review (BigOZine) : Mad Love Tour. Live at the HBO Studios, Los Angeles, CA; August 24, 1980. Very good to excellent soundboard. Circulated as an FM broadcast, the audio could also have been extracted from the TV broadcast. In February 1980, Linda Ronstadt released the Mad Love album and in August that year, taped this show for HBO, a show considered by many fans a high point in her career.

Note : This recording was released in 2019 as a remastered album "Live In Hollywood" on the Rhino label, containing only 12 tracks from the show. Wikipedia' review for this album : Live In Hollywood is a live album by Linda Ronstadt. It was recorded at Television Center Studios in Hollywood, California on April 24, 1980, for broadcast as a special on HBO. All tracks from this recording except "Blue Bayou" and "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" are previously unreleased. This is the first live album released by Ronstadt. The master tapes, thought to be lost, were discovered through a chance encounter with a Warner Brothers engineer leading to their recovery. The backing band for this recording includes some of the musicians who collaborated with Ronstadt many times over the years: Kenny Edwards of the Stone Poneys, Danny Kortchmar, Dan Dugmore, Bill Payne of Little Feat, Wendy Waldman, Bob Glaub, Peter Asher and Russ Kunkel. A then fifteen-year-old Wendy Waldman describes meeting Linda Ronstadt for the first time in 1965 and how she later toured with her and came to be on this album. "Desperado" was written by former backing band members Don Henley and Glenn Frey, who went on to form the Eagles. Some songs performed at the concert, such as "Heat Wave", are not included on the album.
