A friend asked me... best American band? Without hesitation, I replied: Eagles. I returned the question. His reply: Lynyrd Skynyrd. We were both correct.... Depending upon your mood
I’m 65 and yes we had the best! I’m glad the younger generation is getting to know and enjoy the music of our youth and it will be shared forever. Especially the diverse groups of people who are being turned on to genres they never would have thought about before.❤
You can't beat that harmony. The lead guitar man for the Eagles mother was my mother's best friend here in Gainesville, FL. He would visit his mother and eat lunch with her and my mom. My mom liked him and said he was a real gentleman. His name is Don Felder.😊
I know your comment was awhile ago,but I want say Hello fellow Floridian! I live in Spring Hill, near Weeki Wachi river where the mermaids are. That's awesome your mom knew Felder and got to have dinner with him!! Have a Great Day!
@@michellerichardson1427 Hi Michelle! It was really neat that mom got to eat with him on several occasions and enjoy how sweet he was to his mother. I know Weeki Wachi river - It is beautiful down there! Nice to touch base with you, fellow Floridian!!
I’ve probably heard this song about 100 thousand times and it still gives me goosebumps. Everything is so well thought of in the song. The lyrics, the instrumentation, everything.
My favorite songs are Desperado, Seven Bridges Road, Witchy Woman, Take it Easy.... Oh who am I kidding? My favorite Eagle's song is the one I happen to be listening to at any given moment.
Seven Bridges Road is actually a song by Steve Young who later sang it with Crosby, Stills and Nash. It was used by the Eagles as a warm up song in the shower room before they hit the stage. They liked their dynamic with it so much, that they later added it to their set list.
Three things about the Eagles. 1) great lyrics 2) good harmonizing 3) especially as they grew in years, excellent musicians. By the time of their reunion tour, they had all 3 impeccably down. Amazing.
This is the music I grew up on. The Eagles were a great 70's band with so many hit songs. They were known for their great harmonies. "Take It Easy", "Witchy Woman", "Desperado", "Already Gone", "Best of My Love", "One Of These Nights", "Take It to the Limit", Hotel California, "New Kid in Town" etc. Before they went solo they were the back up band for Linda Ronstadt.
A couple of things: First, Glenn's last name is pronounced "Fry", not "Fray". The story behind the song is not that someone cheated on any of the band members. The story is that Glenn Frey and Don Henley used to hang out at the bar in Dan Tana's Italian Restaurant on Santa Monica Blvd. in West Hollywood, before heading next door to the Troubadour club. They would sit back and imagine the lives of the people they saw at the bar. They often saw young, beautiful women with much older men - men of wealth. So, they imagined that frequently, these girls would cheat on their sugar daddies to get the love and romance that their "relationship' lacked. So the song was a musical way of expressing one of the stories they made up while sitting in Dan Tana's.
I always got the feeling she was lying to everyone. the old man in the first verse, the boy in the second and to herself in the third. Such a well thought out and executed song!
One of the greatest bands of all time. Their smooth, mellow rock sound is so good. I wish it wasn’t so difficult to find videos that don’t get blocked. Thankfully this is a good one. Watched it all with you Adogg!
The incomparable Glenn Frey, ladies and gentlemen! To sound in concert JUST like you do in the studio, you know it's greatness. The whole band is so beyond talented and most of them have their own hit songs. (For those getting to know the Eagles). I think of them as one of the greatest guitar bands of all time along with Lynyrd Skynyrd. But, yes, keep going down this road - feel good, relaxing, sing-along songs. Great reaction!
Don Felder's masterful guitar riffs on that Fender Telecaster give this song it's haunting sound. This song came out during the summer of 1975, my freshman year of high school, and it was a part of the soundtrack of my teenage years
It is hard to do reactions to Eagles music, they are notorious for blocking. Please don’t give up! You’re reactions are great and I’m loving following your journey of discovery. I bought every album the Eagles made and still know every word to every song some 50 years later! “Take it to the Limit”, “Seven Bridges Road”, “Peaceful Easy Feeling”, “Heartache Tonight”, “Witchy Woman”, “Take it Easy”, and sooooo many more! Eager for the next one!
I saw them in Chicago and I hated my date! He wanted to put me up on his shoulders, and I begrudgingly let him. We were on a double date and my girlfriend knew I didn’t like him! 😅😅😅
I grew up on the Eagles. I remember waiting until their next album to be released so I could rush out and buy it. I was so sure it could never be as good as the one I had bought before, but every time I was fooled! The album would always be better than the last! There aren’t many bands that can do that. This is the reason I call them America’s number one band! They are just as good today as they were back then. Their music has with stood the test of time.
My favorite song by The Eagles! Love this live version, but the studio version is absolutely perfect with the 4 part harmony, especially at the end. Great reaction!
The studio version from “One of These Nights” is simply breathtaking. Randy, Don, and Glen blended their voices to perfection…My Oh my you sure know how to arrange things
I'm not sure where or how you found this live version since so many of their videos are blocked. But there is also a video out there of another song at the same live concert. The bass player, Randy Meisner, singing "Take it to the Limit". My understanding is, as talented as Randy is, he was still shy and unsure about performing this song live. He knocked it out of the ballpark! You can even see the rest of the band members smiling at his performance. It would be worth checking to see if you can pull the video up (The Eagles Take it to the Limit live 1977). If the video is blocked, at least listen to the audio version. Randy's voice is phenomenal!
This song is an absolute classic - a monster! When you hear the whole thing, and think about the implications...It's a story that happens somewhere EVERY NIGHT!
Glen Frey''s last name was pronounced Fry...An architect named Albert Frey pronounced his last name Fray. The Eagles were great. I love Don Henley who along with Frey wrote a lot of their music, Both were Eagles founding members. Glen died in 2016.
We need a P.O. Box!!! I'll send you a copy of their C.D. called Hell Freezes Over. As Don Henley (the drummer) says "we didn't break up, we just took a 17 year vacation." Old songs sounds the same and the new ones are great Eagles hits. I crank up "Get Over It" in the car just to see the other drivers faces😁😘
I grew up listening to a variety of music & The Eagles have always been one of faves along with The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Fleetwood Mac, Hall & Oates. The music was so awesome back then.
Love the Eagles. No idea if it occurs elsewhere, but our township has a local radio station that broadcasts 'our' music, no ads, no interruptions, nothing but the music of our youth. We have it on every day and laugh at how we sometimes forget trash pick-up day, stuff needed from the grocery store, etc., but remember every ding-danged word of the songs we loved back then. It's nice that many younger people appreciate and recognize how special that music was and is.
I was at their very first concert at the beginning of the "Hell Freezes Over" tour after reuniting in '94. I agree.....it was awesome. It was at Aloha Stadium on Oahu (Honolulu). The show started when the lights came up and there were 5 guitarists seated in a row on high stools. They began a long intro into Hotel California that showcased some amazing guitar playing. I knew then that it would be epic.
Most bands at their heyday are great and amazingly appreciated .....THEN we get old ,unfortunately some band members pass away and the appreciation grows beyond what can be written in a brief comment ... That's the Eagles personified .. great when we knew them , and even greater as time goes on ... praise God for being born in '58 , and praise God to recognize the greatest harmonious group ever assembled ... thank you for kicking rap to the curb ... the Curb is where you put the trash ...
Ok so now you need to look up one of their songs that had Randy Meisner singing the lead. His voice was probably the most beautiful. I hear he was a very sweet man too (died July of 2023).
I always thought if you put their songs together in the right order it's like listening to a musical. There's an underlying thread about a few people moving in and out of each other's lives that connects them all.
Eagles Bassist Randy Meisner RIP we love you and miss you!! March 8, 1946 July 26, 2023. I bassist because because of you and Timothy B. Schmitt ( second Eagles bassist)
This is my all time favourite Eagles song. I loved it the first time I ever heard t when it was released and nothing's changed. I still love it as much today. Every track on their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 is brilliant. I can't imagine ever getting sick of hearing any of tracks on it. This song is my alarm in the morning. This performance - 1977 - no auto tune just pure talent and people who actually could play those instruments and sing.
The best concert I’ve ever been to! 1977, the old Capital Centre in Maryland. Also on the card we’re Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne. This was breaking out of Joe Walsh joining the Eagles!
I'm so glad you're reacting to The Eagles! I grew up listening to them & after all this time I think they sound better to me. You really grow to listen to the lyrics. Thank you for this reaction! I love your channel. Keep them coming! Sending much love & positivity! ❤👍🏼
Their secret weapon was that every single member could sing lead, so they could do unbelievable harmonies.
My favorite thing about the group. They had such versatility.
I just know Don, Randy and Glenn. Can the others as well?
The Eagles one of America's Best Bands Ever!
Amen!!!
A friend asked me... best American band?
Without hesitation, I replied: Eagles.
I returned the question. His reply: Lynyrd Skynyrd.
We were both correct.... Depending upon your mood
Of the world 🌎🙌🏻
You both have great taste!
THE BEST BAND EVER!!
I love seeing the younger generation react to music I listened to
man I'm 68 years old still Rock and roll today because I grew up with some of the best music there was in the 70s
I’m 65 and yes we had the best! I’m glad the younger generation is getting to know and enjoy the music of our youth and it will be shared forever. Especially the diverse groups of people who are being turned on to genres they never would have thought about before.❤
The Eagles ruled the 1970s.
Absolute masterpiece. Rest in Peace amazing Glen Frey 💔💔💔

I know Weeki Wachi river - It is beautiful down there!
Nice to touch base with you, fellow Floridian!!
Thats awesome. He was an amazing part of the eagles during their golden era.
Probably our best American band dogg😊
A Very Talented Musician!! Welcome To The Hotel California ""!!
The Eagles could only make great music. Super harmony.
Great start to my day 🤗
Don Felder’s guitar fills are a masterclass on taste. His touch on a guitar is so smooth.
Me TOO. Came here only for the guitar fills...the way they sparkle up the vocal harmony is what brings all the feelings, through my horse ears.
You ain’t lying.
Too bad him and Glenn were like oil and water .😢
I’ve probably heard this song about 100 thousand times and it still gives me goosebumps. Everything is so well thought of in the song. The lyrics, the instrumentation, everything.
It's pronounced Glenn Frey(Fry). Great song by the Eagles, it's a great rabbit hole to go down. One of my favorite bands of the 70's.
Seven bridges road- basically accapella & all harmony- it will blow your mind.
Glenn Frey said he wrote the song for his wife "Her name is plaintiff".The Eagles have a huge catalogue. Any song you pick is amazing.
My favorite songs are Desperado, Seven Bridges Road, Witchy Woman, Take it Easy.... Oh who am I kidding? My favorite Eagle's song is the one I happen to be listening to at any given moment.
Seven Bridges Road is actually a song by Steve Young who later sang it with Crosby, Stills and Nash. It was used by the Eagles as a warm up song in the shower room before they hit the stage. They liked their dynamic with it so much, that they later added it to their set list.
Yes in fact Glenn Frey mentioned it in one of there concert
Three things about the Eagles. 1) great lyrics 2) good harmonizing 3) especially as they grew in years, excellent musicians. By the time of their reunion tour, they had all 3 impeccably down. Amazing.

I think they are the only band I know that never had a bad song
Come on you know there's more 😂 love this song too ❤ Thank you for sharing 🙋
There is a message in this song. Marrying for money is not what it is cracked up to be.
One of the greatest songs with the most incredible lyrics by one of the most extraordinary bands of all time, the Eagles, and they could fly !!!
A couple of things: First, Glenn's last name is pronounced "Fry", not "Fray". The story behind the song is not that someone cheated on any of the band members.

Did the Eagles ever have a bad song? I can't think of any!!
Don't you love the story telling in the music of the 70s and 80s?
Singing along with Glen...
Love it!
Thanks for another great reaction. ❤️👍

Eagles are an Awesome Group...... So Many Great Songs.......
So much talent on that stage.
To the boy on the other side of town: "she swears that soon she'll be coming back forever"... Hell she's using her " lying eyes" on him too😊
They are the third member of my holy trinity! The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and the Eagles! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is the best version of my favourite Eagles song. Pure joy.
I’ve been listening to the Eagles music for all of my 50 years, & I still get chills when they hit that harmony- damn!
The guy in the red bandanna is Joe Walsh, and he's got a few hits of his own. Rocky Mountain Way is fantastic! Life's Been Good is also really good.
Great songs!
Eagles and this song is the best music when you're driving a long drive.
I love the Eagles! Grew up with this music in my blood in the 70’s-80’s as a kid! Joe Walsh rocks!!
One thing that makes them so good is the way they harmonize so great .I grew up in that time . The Moody blues is a good group too. 👍👍👍👍👍
Love this man.
One of my favourites by the Eagles, but they have so so so many great songs.
I saw them in Toronto, Canada in 1977,great concert
I saw them in Chicago and I hated my date! He wanted to put me up on his shoulders, and I begrudgingly let him. We were on a double date and my girlfriend knew I didn’t like him! 😅😅😅
Beautifully crafted song words and music delivered perfectly, What more can I say,

Take it to the limit (live) with Randy Meisner on vocals, brilliant.
Agreed!

Love Randy Meisner! Take it to the Limit is amazing!
I love this song!!!
I think the thing that makes a song a classic is it stands the test of time. This song might be more relevant now than it was back then!
The Eagels, Doobie Brothers, and America, CSN&Y ,CCR, are some of the best bands ever. I'd say it's a generational thing
This song is an absolute classic - a monster! When you hear the whole thing, and think about the implications...It's a story that happens somewhere EVERY NIGHT!
Glen Frey''s last name was pronounced Fry...An architect named Albert Frey pronounced his last name Fray. The Eagles were great. I love Don Henley who along with Frey wrote a lot of their music, Both were Eagles founding members. Glen died in 2016.
My very favorite sing by one of the greatest bands ever!
Beautiful, isn't it. And every verse addresses a different individual, so gently circular as well. A very special band.
Absolutely LOVE The Eagles, some of the best music ever!
It’s pronounced Fry (Frey). Good video. Eagles have been my favorite band for 50 years!
You're right that was a good song thumbs up to you good reaction
Probably the best song ever written
I have listened to this song thousands of times and always want to cry hearing it.
Eagles are a great group and this is one of my favorite songs. Not many people react to it, so I'm glad you did!
It's FRY. 😄😄 Eagles. Thanks for the throwback.
We need a P.O. Box!!! I'll send you a copy of their C.D. called Hell Freezes Over. As Don Henley (the drummer) says "we didn't break up, we just took a 17 year vacation."

Hahaaaa great song!
You do know that a lot of songs the Eagles did were written about Stevie Nicks. She had massive influence on the Eagles, Tom Petty & Fleetwood Mac
My favorite band !
Seven Bridges Road is a must listen !
My favorite song 🎶 ❤
I grew up listening to a variety of music & The Eagles have always been one of faves along with The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Fleetwood Mac, Hall & Oates. The music was so awesome back then.
I love your comments, brother, I love the fact that you love this song, because it’s one of my all-time favorites!

'Take it to the limit' live is another absolute classic! Can't beat the Eagles!
Really enjoyed your reaction to this wonderful song. I have been a fan of The Eagles for over 40 years -- their music never gets old.
Had the privilege of seeing the Eagles in 95...best concert of my lifetime
I was at their very first concert at the beginning of the "Hell Freezes Over" tour after reuniting in '94. I agree.....it was awesome. It was at Aloha Stadium on Oahu (Honolulu).

So much talent
Love this song ❤❤❤
Grew up with the Eagles playing....Will be seeing them in concert Feb 2023....whoo hooooo..Party time!
A musical masterpiece and perfection from the singing, music and lyrics!
Glenn Frey also did some acting. He was a rival sports agent in Jerry Maguire and also was in Miami Vice in the 80s.
Most bands at their heyday are great and amazingly appreciated .....THEN we get old ,unfortunately some band members pass away and the appreciation grows beyond what can be written in a brief comment ...

Their super power is being able to sound JUST as good live as they do on their records. The Eagles are unmatched. 😍
The song (One of these nights ) is great . Down Load their Greatest Hits . They have over a dozen great songs
One of my favs!
America’s number one Band
Yep Adogg 😊
OMG These guys had so many hits. I play their greatest hit CD in my car. Good traveling music when I can't any reception. 💖💖💖
Best road trip music
The Greatest American Band Of All Time !!
This song always made me cry. Such beautiful harmonies and broken hearts.
Iv listen too this song many times. And just realized. She was playing bouth of the men.
I love "seven bridges row" beautiful harmony. You would love it I promise.
Home Free also has a great version of Seven Bridges Road. Check it out! 👍
Their best , for my scratched heart
Thanks for the extra work required to let us see this reaction. Love Eagles reactions. Sorry they're d!icks about more people seeing their music.
The Eagles wrote this song when they were in a bar. Glen Frey and Don Henley. They noticed an older gentleman with a beautiful young lady .
It means a lot more if you been there.
The Eagles are perfection. This is the one group that I never get tired of listening to.
Thank you for reacting to this song and for choosing the Full Version!. ❤️
This is my all time favourite Eagles song. I loved it the first time I ever heard t when it was released and nothing's changed. I still love it as much today. Every track on their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 is brilliant. I can't imagine ever getting sick of hearing any of tracks on it. This song is my alarm in the morning. This performance - 1977 - no auto tune just pure talent and people who actually could play those instruments and sing.
Check out James Taylor and JD Souther singing “Her Town”. Heavenly harmony. Best I’ve ever heard!!!
The best concert I’ve ever been to! 1977, the old Capital Centre in Maryland. Also on the card we’re Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne. This was breaking out of Joe Walsh joining the Eagles!
Awesome reaction
I'm so glad you're reacting to The Eagles! I grew up listening to them & after all this time I think they sound better to me. You really grow to listen to the lyrics. Thank you for this reaction! I love your channel. Keep them coming! Sending much love & positivity! ❤👍🏼
