The most knee-buckling heartbreak song ever recorded. Linda's first breakout from The Stone Ponies, destined to be the best in her generation- and, very likely, ever. We got to see her once, February 1971, backed by the band that would be the Eagles a few months later. Un. For. Gettable.

You feel her pain. You feel her emptiness and you feel the vastness of that pain. How does a person make you feel empty and full at the same time? Her gifts are many. She doesn't just sing the lyrics she lives them. She doesn't just interpret the feeling of the song, she amasses them and they flow out of her pores. This song is so sad. The loss so painful. Beautifully written; beautiful arrangement; masterful musicians; and magnificent Linda. How we suffer with her now that she can physically no longer perform. It is a blessing we have her records. Imagine if she lived at a time where there was no technology.

There is an older man over Linda’s right shoulder at about 4:30 in a turquoise shirt head bowed wiping the tears from his eyes. The emotion of the moment Linda’s singing definitely got to him like Linda’s singing effects all of us!!! Many times the third verse is cut out of the song thankfully not this time. !! Long Long Time is heartbreakingly beautiful and sad at the same time.

@@edc4052 Now that I listen back, you may be right, though at first impression the phrasing seemed to be slightly different from the recording. And where are those woodwinds coming from? If it's a lip-sync, it would mean Darin's guitar is faked, also possible. Anyway it's academic because we all know what her voice is capable of live.
