Linda Ronstadt Concert, Need Help Finding Date

[keith]

Hello,
I am new to this group and could use some help if possible! Many years ago, I attended a concert by Linda Ronstadt at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I recall that this would have been during her "Heart Like a Wheel" Tour, I am trying to find the date that this particular concert took place, to my knowledge, the album "Heart Like a Wheel" was released around Christmas of 1974, so I am assuming that this concert was sometime in early 1975.
I have contacted Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, but was told that being that she did not play with the Minnesota Orchestra at this concert, they would not have any record of it in their files. This was my first concert that I attended, so it is special to me. Any help in finding the exact date that this concert took place would be appreciated!


Thank you, Keith

Hi Keith,

I got an email from you about this concert and I've researched it but haven't had any luck so far.

I thought perhaps there might have been a listing in Billboard Magazine but I haven't been able to find it.

I searched google books but couldn't find anything.

Your best bet might be local newspapers from that era-- probably there would have been a purchased ad.
