This clip of Linda Ronstadt and her stellar band (Andrew Gold, Kenny Edwards, Waddy Wachtel, Dan Dugmore, Brock Walsh and Michael Botts) tearing it up live in 1976 is taken from a 30-minute performance before she later on lost her voice due to complications from a tickbite (Lyme disease) and Parkinson's disease.
In an interview on AARP.org, Ronstadt, 67, says that she realized something was wrong eight years ago when she found herself unable to sing and didn't know why.
"I knew it was mechanical. I knew it had to do with the muscles, but I thought it might have also had something to do with the tick disease that I had," she said. Although the interview excerpt didn't specify the tick-borne illness Ronstadt has, the AARP linked to a page on Lyme disease.
Ronstadt says she also experienced shaky hands, but thought it was because of an operation she had on her shoulder.
