@2v_5r I understand what you're saying but I don't think that's what he's trying to say. Meisner, Leadon, Henely, Frey, they are the ones who started the band and later on , Felder joined as a member. So, the band didn't begin with Henely, Frey, Walsh, Schmidt. So, this tribute is factually wrong. I don't know how anyone can applaud a lie knowing the band started with Don, Glen, Randy, Bernie. I'm even disappointed in Linda Ronstadt for not acknowledging them (Randy Bernie)
Regardless of bad feelings and legal BS, Leadon, Felder and Meisner were crucial to the band's success. All three should have been honored and given credit in the monologue. For shame !!
It’s a reflection on Henley and Frey, a negative one. The fans know and remember their wonderful, equal and sometimes, superior contributions as members of the band. There would be NO Eagles as they are today, without Bernie Leadon, Don Felder or Randy Meisner, no matter how often Henley and Frey would like to rewrite history. Shame on them.
Send the Kennedy Center a nasty email, because I am tired of hearing this same complaint from you whiners. I am just about ready to take this video down.
@@RamtownMike Oh Please Take it Down! It's an insult to the founding members written out of history and Don Felder who followed and contributed so much. You would be doing True Eagles fans a favour!!
They tell the story of how the Eagles started.🤣😂🤣Let's see, the Eagles started out with Bernie, Randy, Henely, Frey. Not, Henely, Frey, Walsh and Schmidt. It was also pathetic that Ronstadt didn't acknowledge them either. Thank you, Randy, Bernie for creating one of the best bands ever. And then, I'll thank Felder and his contributions to the band. Without you guys, the Eagles never would have took flight.
Exactly. Maybe that's why they have the nickname The Egos. Such wonderful music over all their years, with talent kicked out. Some bands keep their original members despite differences. But I wasn't there so don't know the "behind the scenes" politics. TMS is a great bassist, " I can't tell you why".
It's because they were honoring the current members of the band who were also in the original band before the break. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but I know that's the reason for it.
The Eagles existed before both Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmidt, and didn't include just Henley and Frey. Some very talented guys have been dishonored by not being included. Now, without Glenn, there is no Eagles.
How can you not mention Don Felder and Randy Meisner? My God they were part of the Eagles when the Eagles became the Eagles. They were there in the beginning when they started to rise up and take over the music industry. Shame Shame on at least that you could have done is mention them.
EXACTAMENTE @Sa Ferguson What a bunch of JOKERS! 🤣🤣🤣FELDER will ALWAYS be the BEST guitarist for that band and Meisner will be the only one that can do justice in singing, Take It To The Limit! 💪💪💪
At 72 I still rock out to the best band ever, but I will never stop missing Glenn. He was a force to be reckoned with and that force made the Eagles who they were, are and yet to come. Keep it together guys.
Sweet Randy was still mourning the loss of his wife, but he should have been mentioned. Along with Don Felder and Bernie Leadon. It's terrible how egos destroy relationships.
@@younggoat3521 I agree. Doesn't say much about Linda. She was there when they started and was well aware of Randy's, Bernie's and later Felder's contributions. She should have refused to do the video in homage to them without mentioning these three!
Anything they do that doesn't include Felder means little to me ...His guitar work defined their sound at the height of their success !!...along with Meisners bass and vocals !
It is sad that some people get left out. I played in several bands over the years and there is ALWAYS one or two people who just cause trouble and it is hard to work with people who have such big egos. The Eagles were top of the list and may Glen RIP!!!
Sadly, egos ruined this band. I listen to one of their cds at least once a week. There is no doubt that randy meisner was a huge part of the band. Also, there is no doubt that don fielder had a huge impact to the improvement in the band - the guitar tracks on the On the Border cd took them to whole new level. That was my favorite line up, with Bernie leadon, as well. Leaving them out of the honors disgusts me.
I was wondering where the rest of the eagles were at this event ? You are correct in that egos ruined the band . Felder . Leadon and Meisner were excluded and in my opinion the eagles were not present at this event ...very sad .
Michael Santanello they attended every other event when invited including the History of the Eagles tour for Bernie. The ultimate decision is the Kennedy Centers, but its hard to put on a show without Henley. They all acted like grown ups for the hall of fame induction. But Henley and Freys decision to kick Felder out and the lawsuit that followed cost those two around 30 million bucks and that's enough for some to hold a grudge.Frey and Henley not only tried to take away Felders band shares, but also attempted to remove his credits from songs like Hotel California which was his baby, and if anyone should have a grudge its him, but that 30 mil also makes things sting less as well.
For every positive comment I get 5 of these. What do you want me to do about it? Stop bitching and moaning already. or I will take this damn video down. ENOUGH!
awful wheres Randy Mieisner the best vocalist and Bernie Leadon , and the very best Don Felder, that was the Eagles my fav band of all time but not now after this there best song Take it to the limit
I love this band, but this is BS! Felder was the smoking guitarist in the band, and Randy Meisner was a great bassist, the best harmonizer in the group, and also sang their first number one hit!
its not easy making music that is not just massively popular and radio-friendly...its hard-er, to do it for as long as they did it. It just boggles the mind how good they are, collectively. They deserve this honor.
I remember being in Boston the summer this came out. It got almost continuous airplay, and embedded itself into my brain. When I returned to Ohio, nobody wss playing it, and I called my local radio station (WCOL) to request it. The DJ said he'd never heard of a band called The Eagles, and I remember saying to him, "Oh, You will!"...guess they did alright!
They were my Van Halen but at the core of every band there was a spark. Graham Parsons, Richie Fury, and Paul Cotton. Shout out to Rusty Young also. RIP Rusty.
Man these guys are assholes. Not even mentioning Felder or Meisner and pretending that Schmidt had anything to do with the Eagles's legacy... I seriously doubt that they would have achieved the same success without Randy's vocals and Felder's guitar playing....Just shameful.
I apologise for being so late with my comment, but I grew up on The Eagles and I'd like to congratulate them on their success, however late I am. They deserve every award, praise, honor and fortune they received over the years. God bless each and every one of you and God rest Mr. Fry. ❤️❤️❤️
the only problem with these honors is that you have to hear covers of their songs. The reason that we honor them is because no one else can do their songs the way they do. We don't want to hear covers.
Hey there, for your response to this... you weren’t even there. But you have the “way this went. It was a struggle. And they made it. Just keeping enjoying the music
starguy2718 There was a lot of bad blood between Felder and Frey (and for Frey probably read Henley...) and it may be that or some legal bullshit that excludes him as well as Randy and Bernie. I agree it’s a shame as all those guys are in the DNA of the Eagles.
Unless required to at the point of a gun as was the case of the rock n roll hall induction, Don Henley will never set foot on a stage with Don Felder ever. Henley was butt hurt when Felder filed suit against him and Frey after they fired Felder, despite the fact Felder still owned 1/3 of the band shares. They removed many of Felders credits from albums and acted basically as if he didn't exist. Frey and Henley ended up settling out of court for what was reported to be about $30 million. Everyone else that Henley and Frey had made so uncomfortable that they left the band just gave back their band shares and they assumed Felder would do the same, but to his credit he kept what was his. Joe Walsh, and Timothy B Schmidt are members in name only and are actually paid employees of the band with no say in any if the business or musical end of the band.
Even if Randy received the award (I don't know if he did), he would still have been too ill to attend the ceremony. The band should have still paid tribute to him, though.
when I was teacher in Japan-Hokkaido.....my supervisor made an Eagles CD for me....and he loved the Carpenters.....in the farthest reaches....the Eagles are loved. I actually was a driver for when they played the first concert in Denver. New stadium. I remember waiting to be called to drive...sitting there and Don Henley was getting into is car...and stared me down...like I looked familiar....it was a coool moment. and then as a colorado girl....always doing four corners trips....many times going thru winslow az....BJ and the bear show.....
Interesting how this makes it seem as if it was always Henley, Frey, Schmidt, and Walsh. Totally ignores the fact that Schmidt and Walsh weren't founding members and naturally ignores Don Felder, because Henley and Frey can't stand him.
To Don Henley-No amount of accolades now will legitimize your perception that the Eagles is just you and Glen (RIP). Both of you will go down in the history of rock as the most mean towards your bandmates. Depriving your former bandmates to share the honors at the Kennedy Center is really obnoxious, Mr. Henley.
I hate to complain, but Leadon, Meisner and Felder were as much Eagles as the others. Henley even went out of his way NOT to mention those guys in the ceremony script (come on, you know he approved it before Ringo or Ronstadt said anything). Sad. Henley is such a jerk. And, frankly, I've always thought just a little bit less of Walsh - and Schmitt - for not fighting for Felder when Henley and Frey booted him out. Seeing Walsh sitting there, knowing the friendship and close partnership he and Felder had, I can only think that he knows just how much of an injustice he is allowing.
Keep in mind, although all the members of the Eagles weren't there or present for this, the group itself was honored. That is the whole group was honored including Don Felder and other ex-Eagles.
How about playing the song. If we want to hear all that other stuff, well, we can find that somewhere else. But do not put all the talking about the eagles under the headline "Life in the fast lane"...geeezzz just play the song
What about Randy Meisner???? The sweetest man I've ever had the great good fortune to have met and shared a little dinner with, many years ago. This is not right.
Might as well say F**k the eagles since y’all don’t wanna include EVERY MUSICIAN WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE SUCCESS OF THE BAND! Smfh!!! Don Felder, Randy Meisner & Bernie Leadon deserve to be there and be awarded & praised just as much.
mitch flynn well, Leadon toured with them until Glenn fell ill and decided not to go back out after that. Henley and Frey personally paid for Randy’s immense hospital bills after a long illness that almost killed him(his kids had basically tried to screw him out of his money by trying to have declared unfit to manage his personal affairs, tying up all of his money during the court battle which he won). He was invited to tour during “History....” but was stricken with the aforementioned illness. And Felder is just as culpable as Don and Glenn for everything that transpired leading to the ugliness. Mainly, though, the KCH is only for current members of the band.
Without Glen Frey and Don Henley there is no Eagles. Where as all the other guys could have formed a band and to this day, no one would have ever heard of them. C'mon let's get real here.
You’re right Tim Sanderson, as any informed person knows the Eagles were a BAND, not a duo. Continuing to parrot that Frey and Henley wrote all the songs (they didnt) doesn’t change that fact. It’s like giving an award to the Beatles and only mentioning Lennon and McCartney. I guess that’s ok with some people.
I am sick of you whiners. Why don't you write to the eagles management company and ask them ! Then learn how to write in English. "I am not agree with this" ? Did you mean "I do not agree with this" ?
It's amazing how Randy Meisner, Bernie Leaden, and Don Felder get left out. Good thing Frey passed away. You'd never fit Frey, Henley, and both their egos in the same room! I can't stand to even listen to Henley talk his revisionist crap.
I am sick and tired of you whiny people. I am ready to pull this down. Christ, if you don't like what happened, write the Kennedy Center an email and complain to them, instead of here, where you just drag the joy of that occasion down into the gutter. ENOUGH !
I have way less respect for the Eagles now specifically Don Henley & Glenn Fry for leaving out Don Felder, Randy Meisner & Bernie Leadon. Actually they suck now.
Most replies are just like yours and so negative. When I can post the video and not do anything about that. I am also soooooo tired of this same complaint Over and Over. Here's an idea - DON'T WATCH IT!!!! Otherwise you neg jokes will pull this video. Would you prefer that?
@@RamtownMike It is what it is, is all I can say but if you're offended in any way, I do sincerely apologize 🤟🤟🤟 Oh and BTW, I didn't watch the whole vid when it was just henley, schmitt and walsh that I saw looking so relaxed and pompous!🤣 I don't think I saw FELDER, MEISNER and LEADON in the vids EVEN for a second so.....Anyway apologies AGAIN, Michael!
This was a disgrace that Randy Meisner and Don Felder was not permitted to be there. Timothy B. Schmitt was not there at the beginning. Randy Meisner was. This is pathetic.
My friends were recently divorced the 3 of them rented a home in the country (all 3 were men) my girlfriend invited me to come with her to party and boy did we party yikes Hotel California was on the radio all of the time we eventually named their ranch house "hotel California"😂😂😂
It is inexcusable that Don Felder, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner are not there and were not invited and are not even acknowledged at all.....they made vital contributions to this band and are great musicians.....Henley and Frey were also great and Joe Walsh was already a super star, not taking from them musically, ......it's just wrong, Felder wrote all the music for Hotel California.....just wrong...
Do you know for a fact they were not invited ? Of course you don't. Then why assume so ? Many things go on behind the scenes we are not privy to. John Deacon wasn't at Queens' rock n roll hall of fame induction, because he chose not to go.
Frey was the biggest prick in the group, it was his way and that's was it. He wanted more money and credit then all the others, when Felder didn't agree he was kicked out by Frey and Henley. He still go a sh*tload of cash from the tours he didn't even go on and Frey got his in the end...
still outrages me there wasn't a mention about any of the 3 crucial members that got this band going; don felder randy meisner bernie leadon a shame that egos destroy amazing bands
The Kennedy Center had planned on honoring them the year before this, but Glen was very sick and the rest of the guys wanted to wait until he was better. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. 😥
No one knows why some Eagles weren't at this ceremony. It's not uncommon for some band members to not show up at things like this and the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Inductions. Keep in mind, the Kennedy Center committee invites the groups and not individual band members.
Michael Santanello they were also given the choice to bring them back don henley chose to keep felder out him and glen frey the invitation was extended towards the previous members but they were shot down by henley and frey
Michael Santanello there was a petition being signed so that leadon and felder and meisner could get honored along with their former bandmates the kennedy center omitted the petition by order of the band thus they were denied the honor
So disrespectful that Don Felder wasn't acknowledged since Hotel California was their biggest hit that he wrote as well as many others.
No Eagles without Meisner, Felder or Leadon, as far as I'm concerned.
@2v_5r Did you see Felder, did you see Randy Meisner?
Randy, Bernie, Felder, Henely, Walsh, that's Hotel California.
@2v_5r I understand what you're saying but I don't think that's what he's trying to say.
Meisner, Leadon, Henely, Frey, they are the ones who started the band and later on , Felder joined as a member.
So, the band didn't begin with Henely, Frey, Walsh, Schmidt.
So, this tribute is factually wrong.
I don't know how anyone can applaud a lie knowing the band started with Don, Glen, Randy, Bernie.
I'm even disappointed in Linda Ronstadt for not acknowledging them (Randy Bernie)
and they all should have been at this event. Frye and Henley may make good music, but they treated their fellow musicians like carp.
Regardless of bad feelings and legal BS, Leadon, Felder and Meisner were crucial to the band's success. All three should have been honored and given credit in the monologue. For shame !!
I agree.
Agreed, but we all still remember them!
It’s a reflection on Henley and Frey, a negative one. The fans know and remember their wonderful, equal and sometimes, superior contributions as members of the band. There would be NO Eagles as they are today, without Bernie Leadon, Don Felder or Randy Meisner, no matter how often Henley and Frey would like to rewrite history. Shame on them.
Who made the decision???
In contrast, at the Eagles induction to the rocknroll hall of fame, they were all there. It was fun to see Meisner up there playing Schmit.
Totally classless on the part of Henley to leave out Randy Meisner, Bernie Leadon and Don Felder.
Send the Kennedy Center a nasty email, because I am tired of hearing this same complaint from you whiners. I am just about ready to take this video down.
@@RamtownMike Oh Please Take it Down! It's an insult to the founding members written out of history and Don Felder who followed and contributed so much. You would be doing True Eagles fans a favour!!

They tell the story of how the Eagles started.🤣😂🤣Let's see, the Eagles started out with Bernie, Randy, Henely, Frey.
Not, Henely, Frey, Walsh and Schmidt.

I couldn't agree more. What a snub. Randy's vocals on "Take it to the Limit " are amazing

It isn’t the Eagles without Don Felder. There’s no Hotel California without Felder.
Timothy B. Schmidt slid into the best bassist gig ever.
No kidding. Talk about buying a 500 mil winning lottery ticket with your last dollar.
He did do a great vocal on "I can't tell you why"...plus 1 more.
He honored Randy Meisner during the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction, class acts both of them
Thank you for preserving this extraordinary award.. Well deserved, and many are not found. Which is just crazy because music is life..
At 72 I still rock out to the best band ever, but I will never stop missing Glenn. He was a force to be reckoned with and that force made the Eagles who they were, are and yet to come. Keep it together guys.
The band of my generation.. I was in a band and played many of their songs They were the 70s for many of us
Mine too💖
Agree ALL the Eagles should have been there!!!!!!
Yes sir
It is a crime that Randy Meisner’s Take it to the Limit isn’t mentioned. Not to mention Don Felder.
I agree and that is such a good song. It was also a favorite of my late brother.
Such a great vocalist on that song!
Randy Meisner was always my favorite Eagle,.

Why cannot we buy this on a dvd
the only problem with these honors is that you have to hear covers of their songs. The reason that we honor them is because no one else can do their songs the way they do. We don't want to hear covers.
I guess imitation is the best form of flattery, but nothing beats the original
This doesn’t feel right because Bernie Leadon, Randy Meisner and Don Felder are not there. They were a big part and contributors to that band!
The Eagles were supposed to be honored the year before, but Henley said they wanted to wait for Frey to get better but he passed away on January 2016.
2 of them quit long, long ago and the other one was fired 19 years prior to this honor. They couldn't hang....

They've certainly lost their edge since Don Felder left.
It’s a shame Linda can’t perform any more.
Glenn Frey 🥲
What about Randy Meisner???? The sweetest man I've ever had the great good fortune to have met and shared a little dinner with, many years ago. This is not right.
Email the Kennedy Center and complain about that.
Might as well say F**k the eagles since y’all don’t wanna include EVERY MUSICIAN WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE SUCCESS OF THE BAND! Smfh!!! Don Felder, Randy Meisner & Bernie Leadon deserve to be there and be awarded & praised just as much.
Sad that Henley did not include felder, mesiner, or leadon🙃
Henley holds grudges unfortunately. Glen Frey was even worse.
There intent was to erase Felder from the bands history, along with Meisner and Leadon.
mitch flynn well, Leadon toured with them until Glenn fell ill and decided not to go back out after that. Henley and Frey personally paid for Randy’s immense hospital bills after a long illness that almost killed him(his kids had basically tried to screw him out of his money by trying to have declared unfit to manage his personal affairs, tying up all of his money during the court battle which he won). He was invited to tour during “History....” but was stricken with the aforementioned illness. And Felder is just as culpable as Don and Glenn for everything that transpired leading to the ugliness. Mainly, though, the KCH is only for current members of the band.
Without Felder there is no Hotel California. The music came FIRST then the lyrics. No Felder .. No Eagles.
Where's Don Felder ? Where's Randy Meisner ? Lame
It isn’t the Eagles without Don Felder, it is only a Coverband without him.
A
They make it sound as if Glenn and Don were the only members of the eagles
Without Glen Frey and Don Henley there is no Eagles. Where as all the other guys could have formed a band and to this day, no one would have ever heard of them. C'mon let's get real here.
Founding members. It was always business first for Don and Glenn. It was their band.
It's always been that way.
You’re right Tim Sanderson, as any informed person knows the Eagles were a BAND, not a duo. Continuing to parrot that Frey and Henley wrote all the songs (they didnt) doesn’t change that fact. It’s like giving an award to the Beatles and only mentioning Lennon and McCartney. I guess that’s ok with some people.
In their eyes they were the only members.
Sorry but that's not a good Honnering...too much member missing...too bad !!!
I am not agree with this. Where is Don Felder and Randy. They are part of the Eagles no Eagles without them
I am sick of you whiners. Why don't you write to the eagles management company and ask them ! Then learn how to write in English. "I am not agree with this" ? Did you mean "I do not agree with this" ?
Hippies forever.....we will never surrender........
It's amazing how Randy Meisner, Bernie Leaden, and Don Felder get left out. Good thing Frey passed away. You'd never fit Frey, Henley, and both their egos in the same room! I can't stand to even listen to Henley talk his revisionist crap.
How could the Eagles accept an award and honor with out Don, Randy and Bernie. Garbage.
I am sick and tired of you whiny people. I am ready to pull this down. Christ, if you don't like what happened, write the Kennedy Center an email and complain to them, instead of here, where you just drag the joy of that occasion down into the gutter. ENOUGH !
I have way less respect for the Eagles now specifically Don Henley & Glenn Fry for leaving out Don Felder, Randy Meisner & Bernie Leadon. Actually they suck now.
That's NOT the Eagles BECAUSE Don Felder, Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon are not there!!! What a JOKE!!!🤣🤣🤣
Most replies are just like yours and so negative. When I can post the video and not do anything about that. I am also soooooo tired of this same complaint Over and Over. Here's an idea - DON'T WATCH IT!!!! Otherwise you neg jokes will pull this video. Would you prefer that?
@@RamtownMike It is what it is, is all I can say but if you're offended in any way, I do sincerely apologize 🤟🤟🤟 Oh and BTW, I didn't watch the whole vid when it was just henley, schmitt and walsh that I saw looking so relaxed and pompous!🤣 I don't think I saw FELDER, MEISNER and LEADON in the vids EVEN for a second so.....Anyway apologies AGAIN, Michael!
@@Smackarooge - Thank you. it is discouraging to hear that same complaint do often.
This was a disgrace that Randy Meisner and Don Felder was not permitted to be there. Timothy B. Schmitt was not there at the beginning. Randy Meisner was. This is pathetic.
Dear Kennedy Center and Google - how about making these shows available for national healing/therapy? Do it.
My friends were recently divorced the 3 of them rented a home in the country (all 3 were men) my girlfriend invited me to come with her to party and boy did we party yikes Hotel California was on the radio all of the time we eventually named their ranch house "hotel California"😂😂😂
Questo video e molto bello!la performance fantastica...😊🤗🥰👩❤️💋👨😍😘💘💓💋💯💯💯💯💯
What about Don Felder...What about Randy Meisner?.....WHAT ABOUT Bernie Leadon????????????
What about her emails? Or theirs!
This is so NOT honorable without all the members! Not even worth watching. Such a shame.
Why they not include Don Felder? The best lead guitar of this band. He must be honored too what a shame!!
Kings of Leon need to tighten that damn snare drum. Sounds like tapping the side of a empty Rubbermaid 50 gallon garbage can.
It is inexcusable that Don Felder, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner are not there and were not invited and are not even acknowledged at all.....they made vital contributions to this band and are great musicians.....Henley and Frey were also great and Joe Walsh was already a super star, not taking from them musically, ......it's just wrong, Felder wrote all the music for Hotel California.....just wrong...
Do you know for a fact they were not invited ? Of course you don't. Then why assume so ? Many things go on behind the scenes we are not privy to. John Deacon wasn't at Queens' rock n roll hall of fame induction, because he chose not to go.
Knowing Felder, he probably didn't want to be there with them.
They still deserved to be mentioned.
Frey was the biggest prick in the group, it was his way and that's was it. He wanted more money and credit then all the others, when Felder didn't agree he was kicked out by Frey and Henley. He still go a sh*tload of cash from the tours he didn't even go on and Frey got his in the end...
still outrages me there wasn't a mention about any of the 3 crucial members that got this band going;
don felder
randy meisner
bernie leadon
a shame that egos destroy amazing bands
they say sold more than any other about nearly every other group they introduce.
Where was the rest of the band?
Randy Meisner was a back up singer for Linda wasnt he?
To not include the rest of the members is shameful. Period.
Why didn't they do before Glen's passing..
The Kennedy Center had planned on honoring them the year before this, but Glen was very sick and the rest of the guys wanted to wait until he was better. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. 😥
Dang. Thats really stinks they were left out
I LOVE IT @/kchonors
I can believe the left out Randy Meisner
❤ I think Joe walsh knows something he is not telling? ❤
2:04 Steve Martin! 😍
Where can one view the entire program?
Stop the video at 5:00.
Oh I hate that Felder was left out of this!
Whats more bullshit is that they wouldnt be there without don felder. No don felder would mean no hotel california.
No one knows why some Eagles weren't at this ceremony. It's not uncommon for some band members to not show up at things like this and the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Inductions. Keep in mind, the Kennedy Center committee invites the groups and not individual band members.
Michael Santanello they were also given the choice to bring them back don henley chose to keep felder out him and glen frey the invitation was extended towards the previous members but they were shot down by henley and frey
Ok, where is your proof of this 'story' ?
Michael Santanello there was a petition being signed so that leadon and felder and meisner could get honored along with their former bandmates the kennedy center omitted the petition by order of the band thus they were denied the honor
