I attended the October 24 concert in Ames, Iowa.

Linda was awesome. I remember her coming on stage with fishnet stockings with a red bow clipped to one thigh.

The Des Moines Register and Tribune wrote a glowing review of the show, something I kept for many years but no longer have.

I edited the list to include the April 11th Rutgers show. It was the first time I saw Linda. I also edited the Wikipedia page on the RAC or Louise Brown AC as it is known too. It had said that Linda played there for her "Living in the USA" tour with a very bad sore throat. I added she also played there for her "Mad Love" tour and the date. eddiejinfl

April was a good month as I got to see Linda at Rutgers and then twice at Radio City.

Were you able to take photos? non-flash? Video?

I have photos from Radio City but did not bring a Camera to Rutgers. Now that I think of it Linda also played Nassau Coliseum during that tour (no idea of the date but assume in close proximity to RCMH) as I recall have some very far away bad pictures form that show:) I have a good deal of pictures to scan and get posted here - I just need 5 extra hours in every day to do it:)

Yeah she definitely did, based on your info I found an article mentioning her playing Nassau around the same week as Rutgers, Radio City and The Spectrum. So I assume based on that it may have been April 13th or 14th. When I find exact info I will add it. Thanks for sharing as it makes searching for dates and info a lot easier.

She also did her final show November 4th in El Paso/Juarez but I can't find a venue listed.

Ronstadt performed at Mississippi State University's Humphrey Coliseum in fall 1980. I was there, but don't have my ticket stub. I'm trying to pin down the date, but haven't had much luck searching the internet. The MSU 1981 yearbook, The Reveille, is available online, which includes a few details and photos from the concert. See: archive.org/details/reveille771981miss

Looking at the Mad Love Tour 2 dates above, the MSU concert most likely was in mid-October. Any one have a better idea of the actual date?

If you look at her schedule during that month there are only a handful of days open. I wonder if one of the two Mississippi dates have the wrong location?

My guess would be Thursday, the 16th of October 1980 because she said in the yearbook she enjoyed her 2 day stay in the area so that would leave the 15th out (as it would be day 1) and the 17th and 18th would have been her 3rd and 4th days in Mississippi. She was elsewhere on the 14th and the 19th and the 15th and 16th appear open with the 16th being the second day. Just my guess.

That would make sense since she was traveling from a concert in Knoxville, Tenn., to one in Jackson, Miss., then on to Biloxi, Miss. Starkville/MSU would be in between Knoxville and Jackson.

I will try to reach out to someone who may have been involved with Music Makers, the student organization that produced concerts on campus, at the time.

Thanks for your help!

P.S. Livingston Taylor opened for her at that MSU show.

There were actually 3 go-'rounds of the Mad Love tour. It was really her biggest tour ever and Linda was at the height of her career. I saw the Joe Louis show in Detroit in April, 1980, followed by the Crysler Arena show at the University of Michigan in October of that year. She toured again with the same show in June or July of 1981 at Pine Knob Music Theater and Ski Resort in Clarkston, Michigan. I would wager to say that tour paid for not only her posh Pacific Heights crib but also her kids' college education!

I was at the Tucson AZ show early Nov, 1980. I was a freshman at U of A, she came out in a pretty short U of A football jersey and since Tucson is her hometown it was pretty loud. We had about 3rd row seats, Linda above us a couple of feet... glorious night.
