Quote by Dianna:
What I think it goes to show is the shallowness of shows like American Idol, The Voice, and X Factor, plus the judges who are on them. They have no sense of performance history dating back before MTV, and they just can't let these contestants be who they really are, they have to force them into a confined set of parameters. That has stifled creativity more than anything else.
In that sense, I'm glad that Linda's massive pop success happened in the 1970s, when the only people that mattered for a performer were the people who came to their shows and paid money for an emotional experience. Unfortunately, that's not something you can convey to people in mosh pits and those who go nuts for T-Swift's popping out of the bottom of a stage like a jack-in-the-box.

Does anyone know if the Offenbach, Germany show on youtube (1976?) was released on DVD? That show seems to be killer with Linda in top 70s form. If you buy Goldmine, they have one dealer who advertised quite often when I suscribed to the magazine, who sold boot dvds of concerts, including some by Linda. I believe that dealer had a dvd for the concert in Germany and also one from Atlanta, GA. However, it's been some time since I suscribed or bought Goldmine so I don't know if his ads are still in there, but they were always towards the middle of the magazine. I thought the concert videos from Germany and Atlanta were of an excellent quality and wondered if that footage was shot for a CBS tv special on Linda in 1977-78? That tv special never aired and was never sure of the reason why it was cancelled. CBS had issued a press release announcing the special with what turned out to be Elvis's last tv special. I never found any mention afterwards of whether it was indeed filmed or if they never got that far but if it's not the concerts from Germany or Atlanta and it was filmed, sure would make for an interesting find. The only reason I suspect the Germany and Atlanta concerts as possibly being filmed for the special is that they were from the time the tv special was announced. Of course, maybe CBS wanted Linda to star in a variety type tv show and that didn't appeal to her? Both Offenbach and Atlanta DVDs are on ebay. Whether they are legit is another matter. Atlanta was filmed for Australian TV (Linda comments on this), so it was a professional recording at least. Offenbach DVD "live in germany 1976", looks like a commercial DVD. Immortal label IMM 940491 with stereo, DTS & 5.1 surround.
