Has Linda ever performed in the round?

[revin2go]

To the best of my knowledge, no. I do believe she did a show at Westbury Music Theater on Long Island which is indeed in the round, but I can't picture it. She's just not that kind of performer. I could envision the Mexican show possibly in the round, but certainly not the rock hits and definitely not the standards. Does anyone have any info?

Linda played Westbury with Aaron Neville May 26, 27, and 30, 2004.

When “in the round” was brought up, I remembered seeing Jane Olivor in the round in Cohasset, Massachusetts, when I lived in Boston from 1979 to 1981. It was a strange venue as after every number the stage would move maybe another 30 degrees so every section of the audience saw the performer from the front part of the time, and so on.
According to this newspaper article from 2020, Linda performed there, too —

I think I saw Trisha Yearwood there a couple of times or it was some other in the round venue in MA near the coast. I’ve got my stubs, I should check that out…I lived in Boston myself from 86-93 then again from 96-2003. I lived in LA between those years, from 93-96.

Wonder what year Linda played in Cohasset? Maybe the Neville tour too? I saw The Kinks twice if I am correct. Both times after "Come Dancing" song.

Wouldn’t have been with Neville. That was the CLAR tour and she was selling out Great Woods just outside of Boston. Cohasset would have been too close and too small for her audience in 1990-91

Moky, I saw the Cry Like a Rainstorm show with Linda and Aaron on the tour back in that time, but Rob is saying he saw Linda and Aaron at the Westbury Music Fair (N.Y.) in 2004.

I saw Linda in 2007 at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis on Cape Cod Massachusetts. It was in the round and it was great. The stage rotated very slowly. Saw John Boylan there with her.

I thought there was a "recent" concert of hers where she was in the round. Thanks, laurenm57. eddiejinnj

I am sorry, that is right, she did a portion of that 2004 tour with Aaron and then some dates she used another singer. My bad, sorry again. When I saw her in Chicago on the 2004 tour she didn’t have Aaron with her, it was another male vocalist who I can’t remember the name of at the moment…

CAPE COD MELODY TENT! That was where I saw Trisha Yearwood. Not Cohasset, in fact I don’t think I ever attended any shows at the Cohasset venue, will check stubs.

[Jim Schank]

I saw her in the round in Long Island as well. She joked that she felt like an automobile for sale

She did indeed perform at Westbury, but I didn't attend.
