I would have loved to have heard Linda Ronstadt with the Stone Poneys live, at the Troubadour in L.A..
So many great artists from the 1960s and '70s made it there. Many of them lived in Laurel Canyon, the story of which has been documented to death on YouTube and elsewhere by many journalists. It's a bizarre tale of the heydays of rock. But it includes a lot of players from the jazz, blues, and classical scenes as well.
The storys of the Troubadour are fascinating. I was never there because I did not live in the LA area but I had a woman friend (now deceased unfortunately) who waitressed there and a male friend who was there often and they told many stories about it. If I recall correctlhy, Linda recruited four guys she met there to back her up on her next tour and after the tour they became the Eaglesl As already stated, the list of those who performed there is absolutely incredible.
