Linda started the year still playing Pirates at the Uris on Broadway. She left the role May 31st. Billboard first announced Linda's plans to record an album of jazz standards with Jerry Wexler (Keeping out of Mischief) the same month and talk grew through July. At the end of August it was announced the album was being shelved and Linda was not happy with the results. Below are the only dates I could find for Linda in concert for 1981. She left for England around November to begin production on the film version of Pirates.
Jul 21st Pine Knob Music Theatre Clarkston Michigan USA (Joe Ely)
22nd Pine Knob Music Theatre Clarkston Michigan USA (Joe Ely)
23rd Pine Knob Music Theatre Clarkston Michigan USA (Joe Ely)

No you have the wrong year. It was not 1981. That concert was in 1980.
However, would love to see the photo and concert review. Please post.

Mr Asher: Thanks so much for all your hard work and having good taste in whom you produce/manage. Feel free to, of course, join our forum. We all try and promote it as much as possible. The last time I saw Linda was in LI in 2016. BTW: I loved the duet you did with Linda for John Lennon's 60th Birthday Tribute. eddiejinnj
