Linda Ronstadt: Live In Hollywood
In an electrifying 1980 concert filmed at the height of her career, superstar singer Linda Ronstadt captivates her audience...

ouch!
I suppose all those record sales, awards, and award nominations after 1980 don't count.
Maybe it's just me but "height of her career" was a poor choice of words.

Accurate in a sense of mega-pop-stardom. 1980's Hurt So Bad was pretty much the end of her pop career.
The 80s and early '90s were something else ... the only output of hers I actually own.

I understand your point, but I think it is accurate.

She had seven US Top 10 albums before this concert recording and only two after it. I have about the same number of her albums before and after.
It is borderline soul crushing that her health issues ended her desire to sing live.
