Ooh! I missed this thread coming back up.
Thanks for the band info John Beland. The only video clips I have of Linda from 1970 & 71 where her band is present are
1970, Playboy After Dark
1971, Johnny Cash Show
1971, Mike Douglas Show
These have been on Youtube but many have gone due to copyright infringements.
Long Long Time Fan, you're welcome.  The other video clips of LLT I have are
1970, Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour
1970, Playboy After Dark
1970, The Darin Invasion
1970, Johnny Cash Show
1971, Midnight Special
Any of them you want I can upload here. I used wmv for the best PC compatability, but if you want mp4 or any other format let me know.

Cornish Pirate,
I would be more than greatful for any or all of the video's you've listed. Let's go with your suggestion for the wmv format for best PC compatibility. I've had the pleasure of seeing Linda perform live at least a dozen times but, sadly, she never sang my favorite song. Thank-you for sharing!

Cornish Pirate, thanks from me as well for the videos you've provided (though I still have a vhs tape of "The Darin Invasion"), but just did want to add a minor correction to your info on the "Midnight Special." That show did not begin until 1972. It started out as a one-off special on NBC to encourage 18 year olds to get out and vote (since they had won the right to vote). The special received high enough ratings to cause NBC to make it a regular series with revolving guest musical hosts. I recall it was said the guest musical hosts selected the artists who appeared with them although I don't really think that was the case. Linda was never a musical guest hostess, which was a pity, just an infrequent musical guest. The MS also tried to assign a regular host as I think NBC wasn't too happy with revolving musical hosts. Helen Reddy got the job although the Bee Gees were offered the gig in early 1973 based on their previous appearances as hosts. Their appearances as hosts did extremely well in the ratings and NBC wanted them, but they took a pass because they felt the gig would take away from their ability to record.
Linda was on the very first episode, and recall her performing "Long, Long Time" (single version) and "The Fast One" (before the song was released on "Don't Cry Now"). Also believe the first version of "You're No Good" made its appearance on the first episode of the MS, although I can't be sure as it's been 41 years. The episode has never been seen as it was originally broadcast, just the highlights.

Happy Birthday John Beland!!
BIOGRAPHY
John Edward Beland (born July 24, 1949)
is an American songwriter, session guitarist, recording artist, producer and author. Beland’s career as guitarist started out in Los Angeles in the late 1960’s, playing sessions and local live gigs with Kris Kristofferson, as well as future Eagles members, Glenn Frey and Bernie Leadon. Beland’s first major break came in 1970, playing lead guitar for a young Linda Ronstadt, and helping Ronstadt put together her first serious solo band, Swampwater. Along with fellow bandmates Gib Guilbeau, Thad Maxwell and Stan Pratt, Swampwater toured the country with Ronstadt, appearing with her on such notable television shows as The Johnny Cash Show. Swampwater recorded two landmark country rock albums for Starday King and RCA Records. The group was one of the first Los Angeles bands to record in Nashville, known for their smooth harmonies and Cajun rock style.
After working with Ronstadt, Beland became a much in-demand guitarist, engaged by such high-profile artists as Arlo Guthrie, Johnny Tillotson, Kris Kristofferson, The Bellamy Brothers, Mac Davis, Dolly Parton and The Flying Burrito Brothers. As a solo artist, Beland recorded for Ranwood Records, scoring a chart hit in 1969 called “Baby You Come Rolling Cross My Mind”. Beland also became the last artist to sign with The Beatles’ record company Apple Records in 1973. As a session guitarist, Beland recorded with many music business legends in the United States and internationally. For over twenty years, he was the creative force behind the pioneering country rock band from California, The Flying Burrito Brothers. Through his leadership, the group achieved nine hit country singles for Curb Records in the early 1980’s. Beland was also instrumental in the comeback of rock and roll legend Rick Nelson in the late 1970’s, arranging and playing on Nelson’s last hit single “Dream Lover”, as well as Nelson’s much acclaimed album The Memphis Sessions. He also toured and appeared with him on Saturday Night Live in 1979.
Beland as an American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) award-winning songwriter, his tunes have been recorded by a wide variety of artists from pop, folk, gospel to country music.

rumba,
Just now tried the link and it worked. I've run into this before and some of these links seem to be device dependent. But it does work on a standard issue PC. And indeed the video/audio is awful but on the other hand it is (like me) really old and has most likely been copied a hundred times.

Since today is John Beland's birthday and he responded to this thread a few years back I thought I would pull it forward as well as wish him a happy birthday and a healthy year ahead. If you do a search on youtube you will find John has quite a catalog going on. Talented man with an interesting story to tell.

Has anyone seen or heard from Cornish Pirate recently?
It has been over 4 years now since he was last online here. It was nice of him to keep most of his material available for fans. I hope he is ok and do think of him. He has provided invaluable footage and digital corrections of some media.
Here is a list of his posts (accessible to members) that have some great Ronstadt material:

Ok, when she whispers "this is my new single, they're playing it a little on the radio" before LLT; friggin adorable!!

The other video clips of LLT I have are
It was said to be from a programme called 'Celebration' broadcast by KQED-TV from their studios in San Francisco on 30 Aug 1970, which also featured Grateful Dead and Boz Scaggs. However, someone commenting on the posting said there were two Celebration programmes broadcast in 1970, Linda and Boz Scaggs in one and Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Swamp Dogg in the other, so the above date may not be correct.
but on the plus side she is wearing her Hee-Haw dress. ;D
