Makes my heart smile to see a younger generation turn on to this iconic music. No band has a right to be this talented..... every single member a success in thier own right! All of them could serve as lead vocal..... AMAZING! I saw them in 1974 before they really became famous.... a great show in Jax, FL as I recall. I was on the floor, up front, stage right and I could FEEL the air that the speakers were pushing out! Will never forget that.
Fun fact: they're ALL lead singers. They're ALL guitarists, they're ALL bass players, and they're all drummers. Point being is they're all extremely talented and accomplished writers
Since you asked....yes, I've seen them live three times. The last time was in February of 2020 in their "Hotel California Tour". They played the entire album in order, then took about a 20 minute intermission and then came back and played just about every other song they've ever done. And it was GLORIOUS!!! Really glad you enjoyed this so much.
It's a privilege to watch Don Felder and Joe Walsh play that solo. Pure perfection! Also, now you understand why they were once the best band in the USA! One of their guitarists and songwriters was Glenn Frey, who sadly passed away in 2016. RIP Glenn Frey!
PHIL COLLINS (Genesis, solo) was a drummer and lead singer. See IN THE AIR TONIGHT live 2004 Paris. Levon Helm of THE BAND, singing drummer. KAREN CARPENTER of THE CARPENTERS sang and drummed. Many others.
This has to be the most famous song of the 1970's. Grammy winner for Record of the Year in 1977. The Eagles used to be Linda Ronstadt's rhythm section, and she was the one who suggested to them to go out on their own. Probably the most played guitar riff in rock history.
I was lucky enough to see them live twice in the 70's. My favorite band of all time, if you wern't around for the seventies you missed out dude! Imiss my twenties, so happy you get to experience it because it never gets old unlike me ,will be seventy next year. I've seen some stuff in my time.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I got to see these guys a few times, first in 1972, and I was always riveted by their music. Take a deep dive down this rabbit hole; you won't be disappointed. 😉
I am a combat vet and I have been accused of being a hard and cold man. It's not true because if anyone could see me now they would see me smiling a lot . Keep it up kid you have me from now on . May God bless the rest of your life.
I went to this album concert. I was 17 it was such a huge album when it came out. Looking back I am so lucky to have witnessed the greatest artists to have ever existed. We had no idea at the time. Love watching y'all seeing it for the first time. It makes me smile.
What I really love is watching a new generation digging the music 🎼 that I grew up with. I'm 66 years old now and I have seen these guys twice in my life. Great show they put on. No tricks. Just pure music.
I saw the Eagles live at the LSU Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, LA November 5th, 1976. They were 2 hours late coming from Miami. The crowd was tired and growing irritable. But the great sounds and vibes made up for it all. It was a really great concert and experience.
Eagles on this show are Don Henley. Lead Vocals/ Drums Glenn Frey. Acoustic Guitar Randy Meisner. Bass Joe Walsh. Lead Guitar Don Felder. Double neck Lead Guitar ** the songs music and idea was by guitarist Don Felder, the lyrics were put together with Don Henley & Glenn Frey.
I saw them a few years ago in Denver! They are still great in concert! Currently they are performing a residence in Las Vegas! Go see them while you still can! Greatest guitar duet ever!! Don Felder and Joe Walsh!!
I was 12 when this song came out in 77. I didn’t see them live until 2016 and they blew me away they were so good live. Got to see Glen Frey in the band before he died a few years later.
The Eagles were my first concert in 1977 when I was 17, and I do remember how crazy we all went when they played the opening notes of this song. The band broke up in 1980, and reunited in 1994 for the "Hell Freezes Over" tour. Glenn Frey joked, "For the record, we never broke up. We took a fourteen year vacation." I saw them on that tour, and again in 2002, 2004, and 2010. To say that I was spoiled by them for my first concert, and that they set an incredibly high bar for all those I attended after is a massive understatement. Pick a favorite song? Can't do it. I would change my answer week to week or maybe day to day.
We saw them in concert at ASU stadium for the Hell freezes over concert!! To say it was amazing would be an understatement!! I have been to many concerts over the years and they ranke up there as one of the best ever. Better yet, we were in the ninth row from the stage!! Pretty cool.
Mia , be careful , the drummer that was singing lead is Don Henley. He is notorious for making reactors pull down Eagles videos & threaten them with a copyright strike , just sayin'. I only saw them live once on their tour for the album The Long Run. Growing up my friends father was the general manager of an independant record store. He used to get free concert tickets for all the shows , all i had to do was give his son a ride and i'd get a free ticket. I've been to about 700 concerts over 4 decades and paid for about a third of them. I' ve been very lucky.
This band has been on my bucket list forever and I finally got to see him last March and honestly it was the best concert I’ve ever been to. I couldn’t believe how they still sounded as fresh as ever and they’re all in their 70s. Just amazing.
The Eagles are an all-star line up of musicians who had already made a name for themselves. Don Henley, Don Felder, Joe Walsh, Gleen Frey...the line up changed several times. ❤🤍💙
Aaah the music of the 70s it never gets old great reaction. People are always going to hate. Just stay you and those of us who don't will always be here.
The Eagles still perform live MIA. They are right now in a residency at the new Sphere in Las Vegas. I saw them a couple years ago haven’t seen this show but the reviews are great. Still have at least three original members drummer Don Henley (lead singer on this video) Joe Walsh (guy in the bandana on guitar at the end) and Timothy B. Schmidt. A great country singer Vince Gill now tours with them since the death of Glen Frey the other lead singer. You’d enjoy their show they play lots of hits and still jam hard.
The guy playing the guitar with two necks, Don Felder, taught Tom Petty how to play guitar when he lived in Florida before he became an Eagle. He wrote the music for this song.
And by Don Felder's own admission from back during his days in Florida, he was taught how to play side by the late, great Duane Allman hanging out at his and Greg's house one night after a gig in the Daytona area.
The red-bandana'd guitarist: Joe Walsh's solo hit: "Life's Been Good"(to me so far) is a helluva uniquely guitars-driven hit w: his cleverly amusing lyrics as well, Mia!!
They were all super talented/legendary guys. The guitarist with the bandana is a legendary figure. His name is Joe Walsh and he was in another group called The James Gang, and also had a super successful solo career. The drummer (Don Henley) also had a super successful solo career with lots of hits. The guy playing the acoustic guitar Glenn Frey (Rest In Peace, Mr. Frey - absolute legend) was the other lead singer of the Eagles and also had a legendary solo career of his own. He appeared regularly in a popular show back in the 80's called Miami Vice. You Belong To The City and Smugglers Blues are absolute bangers by him that you should definitely check out. You won't be dissapointed. I know I used the word "legendary" a lot in this post, but there is no other word to describe these guys. Each of these guys are a rabbit hole all their own.
I have been fortunate enough to see the Eagles 14 times since 1980, including the concert in Long Beach, CA that ended with their break-up on July 31, 1980, and the first location of their reunion tour dubbed "Hell Freezes Over" in 1994. And yes, all of their shows have been incredible. As I said as a response on another comment, the Eagles currently have a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas. This will be the last part of their farewell tour and from what I hear, there are tickets still available. But the number of shows is limited, so if you're going to go see them, best to jump on it soon.
You are correct regarding seeing this group live because they were masters on the stage and it just left you mesmerized. They are one of the very few groups that I've seen live and 78 years old and I've been going to concert since I was 17. They are as good live as their studio albums and like I said, only a few groups are as good without having technology improve their performance.
Sadly, Henley just couldn't leave well enough alone and has taken to the road lately with a back-up track heavy, lip-synced act that taints the Eagle's legacy while making a mockery of the band's reputation for having delivered genuinely live stage performance versions of their songs that stood up quality wise to the near pristine studio productions that had been released.
@maxine-x4x My wife and I saw them in concert again fairly shortly before Glenn Frye died. Stills had no voice at all left. Young wasn't with them and Crosby and Nash both still had their voices. Still's could still play, but he just couldn't sing, the voice was gone. Just with that fact alone I can't believe he's still out there trying to make a buck But the lip sinking thing absolutely makes sense to me. And by that I mean, it makes sense that he's doing it because he has no more voice. But talk about sad.
I love seeing a younger generation discovering and enjoying the music I grew up with! I couldn’t help but notice your chuckle at the idea of “a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends”.. maybe you could expand on that it the Patreon!
Eagles are my favorite band. When my sister and I were very young my dad had an 8 track of their greatest hits and it was one of our favorite albums. ...the other was an 8 track of the Smurfing Sing Song.
Official card-carrying OG here. I'm so happy that you are taking the time to listen to, appreciate, and react to the music of my youth! I think it's a very good thing. Thanks and I hope you enjoy your journey! You should also check out the Gipsy Kings version of this song. They did an awesome cover. The Gipsys are a band of Catalonian origin and they have an awesome catalog of music,
I saw them on this tour in Minneapolis (Bloomington) at the old Met stadium. Thunderstorms, tornado warnings but the band played on. Pablo Cruise and The Steve Miller Band opened for them. Stevie Nicks was off to the side of the stage dancing.
Yeah, the Eagles were a HUGE band in the 1970's - they even broke the record of best-selling album of all time IN THE US a few years ago, with the compilation "Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)" surpassing the sales of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in America (MJ still holds the record when it comes to worldwide sales, though). Also, not exactly related to this band itself, but every time I listen to this wonderful song, I don't know why it reminds me of another incredible record I believe you should react to: "Stairway To Heaven", a true rock anthem by Led Zeppelin - another extremely iconic band from the 1970's.
This is one of the must Iconic songs of all time . Everyone knew this song when I was growing up . Everyone knew the words did not matter if you were metal head or light rock fan
I saw them on the Hotel California tour when they were in Cleveland, best concert ever. So much talent each of them are great singers and instrumentalists. Eagles have a large number of songs for you to choose from and most have solo songs. I highly suggest listening to some Joe Walsh.
This is what happens when you put a band together of top talent musicians. You are what I think of when I hear this song, a beautiful Latina girl dancing in the moonlight at some tiki bar on the beach somewhere. Great reaction ❤️
So glad you got to enjoy the amazing music of The Eagles. Some other songs of theirs from their hay day in the 70s to take a listen to is: Take it Easy, Lying Eyes, & One of these Nights! I think of my time out West (New Mexico/Arizona and Wyoming)and my father when hear these songs.
Short list of lead singers on the drums: Phil Collins (Genesis), Karen Carpenter, Micky Dolenz (Monkees), Roger Taylor (Queen), ...AND Don Henley of course.
Yeah, I saw this concert at Chicago Stadium in Oct. of '77. It was my first time hearing this song, as they were a little late in getting the album released, for some reason. It was also my first time seeing/hearing Don 'fingers' Felder on the double-neck guitar. It was his playing the 12-string upper neck that you said sounded so good to you. - has that distinctive ' chiming' sound to it. Roger McGuinn of the Byrds plays a 12-string Rickenbacker on songs like, "Turn, Turn, Turn", & "Mr. Tambourine Man" (hint, hint)
An iconic song. The guitar solo is just legendary, but the whole song does an amazing job of setting an eerie, mysterious vibe. One interpretation of the song is that it's a metaphor for California, maybe especially the LA scene. Eagles have some of the best harmonies anywhere! Lead singers on drums - Phil Collins/Genesis, and Levon Helm of The Band are both worth checking out. The Band and the Eagles both had other singers lead on certain songs/parts.
This is probably one of the most iconic guitar openings in rock. You've actually reacted to a lead singer who plays the drums before: Phil Collins (In The Air Tonight).
Years ago, at least twenty or twenty five, I met an older guitar player from Cleveland who told me he played with many famous musicians from that area and beyond. I asked him who the best guitar player was, and he said Joe Walsh.
I got to see them live in 2004, and even though they were obviously much older than here, they were just as good. Every single member was at the top of their game, and pretty much always has been as far as I can tell. There are very few bands I can think of that have been as consistently tight and solid live as they have been.
eagles were just an iconic band. Its a good rabbit hole to fall down into as well. There was no one else quite like them, they really did their own thing.
I lived just 25 miles from THE CAPITOL CENTER in what is actually Landover, Md. in 1977. This was a 3 day gig for the Eagles, Chicago and a little unknown group that opened for this concert called "PLAYER".
Pretty much every member of the Eagles is a very talented musician and singer. They had a rule in the group that if you wrote the song you had to sing it. I have seen them in concert twice, and both times it was awesome.
One of the very best American Bands, they broke through in a big way when they got the immortal Joe Walsh in the band (his best work is on the James Gang Live, listen to it and be amazed!) and he gave them a more rocking sound and they came up with the masterpiece album, Hotel California. They do a lot of lighter country and story songs as well, good stuff for such a mood. Enjoy beautiful Mia! It is great seeing you try all kinds of Rock Music, it is wonderfully diverse. 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎤🎸🎶🔥
2nd greatest selling album of all time. they are extremely talented. i mean they do Seven Bridges Road as a warmup song. which is just bonkers. this is their peak lineup. but if you ever wanted to see just how talented they are, find their HoF induction where they have everyone who was ever an Eagle on stage and they all still harmonize and play beautifully together. its wild.
"Hotel California" is not the second greatest selling album of all time. "The Eagles Greatest Hits 1971-1975" was the second greatest behind Michael Jackson's "Thriller", but surpassed it to become the top all-time seller in 2018.
Eagles ...“Take it to the Limit” !!! That was Randy's (bass) song to sing and the girls went WILD when he hit those high notes at the end. BTW ... It was about the same time when Hotel California came out that the Guitar player with the red bandana and crazy look in his eyes Joe Walsh released ...Life's Been Good...on his solo album.
About twenty five or so years ago when I first met my woman we would always go to this certain pool hall and without fail this was our song to play first on the jukebox every single time
Yep great solo. All of them could sing and had success outside of the Eagles. Because I'm from FL , I am partial to Don Felder from Gainesville Fl. He had the double neck guitar. He actually taught Tom Petty to play guitar and Duane Allman taught Don how to play slide guitar. Amazing how much talent was around Gainesville at that time not to mention Stephen Stills from Crosby stills Nash and Young. I'm sure you will be recommended songs on all of those people. My favorite Eagles song slightly above this is "One of these nights, " which I think you will like a lot because it has a great guitar and also "Victim of Love "
I saw them during the When Hell Freezes Over tour in 2003 and they were unreal. Not only did they do ALL their hits they did all the solo stuff from individual members. I've seen a ton of bands in my day, I'm 63 and these guy's were the best live performance I've ever seen!
Phil Collins would play drums and sing also. It has to be incredibly hard to have half your brain staying on beat while the other half is retrieving the lyrics and putting emphasis in all the right places. Amazing
From the 'Who Cares' book: I saw them at tender age of 18 in '76 in Tulsa, in 1994 in New Orleans, and in 2008 in Houston. All of them were Eagles worthy experiences. They played their songs to the best possible rendition of the track that was laid down on vinyl. Even though bassist Meisner left after the '77 tour, Timothy B. Schmidt was a worthy replacement. And after they ran out Felder, Joe Walsh carried most of the load and obviously was fabulous. Add Frey and Henley and you had a great run for 30+ years. Nice reaction and great look as well!
Don Felder with the double guitar was teaching guitar at a music store when 13 yr old Tommy Petty came for lessons. Little did they know they would both be rock legends.
Eagles were always better live than in the studio, perfectly attuned to each other, each one a great talent. Everyone could sing and play several instruments. Check out more of this fantastic concert, “Lyin Eyes”, “Take it easy”, “New Kid in town” (Glenn Fry), “Take it to the Limit” (Randy Meissner) . also absolutely great “I can't tell you why” (Timothy Smith) and Live Melbourne “Desperado” (Don Henley), to cry and dream, and “Tequila sunrise” (Glenn) just good. And there's more....
I saw the Eagles at Red Rocks on 1973; that was before Joe Walsh joined the band. Between the gorgeous outdoor atmosphere and the woman who was with me, there was the overwhelming sound of the Eagles. Unfortunately, this was before they wrote Hotel California. I'm glad you enjoy them, too.
After The Beatles the second best band in the world...i was lucky to see them just before the late great Glen Frey died..."Take it easy" next..another great Eagles tune
Hi Mia! I've had the chance to see them a couple times and something in life would happen to prevent it. That is Don Henley on drums. He and the late Glenn Frey took turns on lead vocals. Glenn passed away in 2016. They still tour. Vince Gill, who is a great country singer, is helping them out on vocals now. BTW.. Like the shirt
Being a pre-teen and teen in the 1970s, I had the good fortune of growing up with some great music. Depending on the genre, there was the Eagles, Elton John, The Carpenters (and Karen was the lead singer and played drums as well), Captain & Tenielle, Olivia Newton John, Barry Manilow, ZZ Top, Led Zepplin, and the list goes on and on...
Some folks call this song "A guitar solo with a song in the middle of it". Another couple of examples of a band with the drummer doing lead vocals are The Carpenters and The Band (Yes...that's their name)
Definitely one of the top ten guitarsolos, but some tend to believe the best guitar solo ever played on this planet was the second solo of „Comfortably numb“ as played by David Gilmour during the Pulse Concerts back in 1994! Check it out!
In concert they are perfect. Always better. They perfected their live performances. They wanted you to get what you paid for. The last one I went to of theirs was 2 and a half hours. The best
Keep reacting and doing what you do Mia. I love watching your genuine reactions to lots of music I love. It's so cool to see someone listening to these classics for the first time. You are NOT part of a clique. :) your doing awesome :)
The Eagles are FANTASTIC. Every song will NOT disappoint. 👍👍👍😎

Pau, the drummer for The Warning, sings lead on a couple of their songs. But I still recommend "Evolve (Live at 2024 VMA)" for your intro to The Warning.
I am truly impressed that you have evolved so much from what you used to say was the only thing you liked! Looking forward to more. I know you hate slow, but "I Can't Tell You Why" is a good one.
I saw them back in the 80s, it was great. I was super stoned, but still....blew my mind. You should go to Coachella festival to experience the live music. And you are incredibly beautiful. Props. subbed & liked
Another Eagle's song you should listen to is "Take it Easy". They made a park in Winslow, Arizona to honor the lyrics from this song. You always look like you're Taking it Easy, so this song should suit you.
Makes my heart smile to see a younger generation turn on to this iconic music. No band has a right to be this talented..... every single member a success in thier own right!

Fun fact: they're ALL lead singers. They're ALL guitarists, they're ALL bass players, and they're all drummers.
Point being is they're all extremely talented and accomplished writers
and a couple of them can play the piano too lol
Amazingly great to see in concert
So glad you pointed that out. Kinda like Pink Floyd... WHO KNEW drummer Mason could play the guitar !!!!
Don Felder was not a lead singer. Henley was not really a guitarist. You're overstating.
Take a chill pill @@kbrewski1
Since you asked....yes, I've seen them live three times. The last time was in February of 2020 in their "Hotel California Tour". They played the entire album in order, then took about a 20 minute intermission and then came back and played just about every other song they've ever done.

Also, now you understand why they were once the best band in the USA! One of their guitarists and songwriters was Glenn Frey, who sadly passed away in 2016. RIP Glenn Frey!
I've heard Don thought Joe was too goofy,,,,not serious enough. I can't imagine why,,,,🤪🤪🤪👍
Hearing the lyric "such a lovely face" while looking at Mia brings it to another level.
I caught that too
I saw The Eagles live 3 times. They perform their songs just about perfectly every time. Pristine sound, exactly like the album.
This band is so talented that every single member also had a solo career.
Loved seeing the pure look of happiness on your face while watching the Eagles is what every person was feeling at their concerts. Just total bliss.
wow thanks
PHIL COLLINS (Genesis, solo) was a drummer and lead singer. See IN THE AIR TONIGHT live 2004 Paris.
Levon Helm of THE BAND, singing drummer.
KAREN CARPENTER of THE CARPENTERS sang and drummed.

This has to be the most famous song of the 1970's.
Grammy winner for Record of the Year in 1977.
The Eagles used to be Linda Ronstadt's rhythm section,
and she was the one who suggested to them to go out on their own.
Probably the most played guitar riff in rock history.

I saw them perform in the fall of 79 at Norfolk, VA. Seeing these guys in a live performance is something you never forget.
I am a combat vet and I have been accused of being a hard and cold man. It's not true because if anyone could see me now they would see me smiling a lot . Keep it up kid you have me from now on . May God bless the rest of your life.

One of my all-time favorite songs to listen to on a warm summer night drive with the windows down, just cruisin'.
Such an iconic song! The Eagles are the quintessential 1970s band. And you're right, the drummer doing lead vocals is quite rare.
What I really love is watching a new generation digging the music 🎼 that I grew up with. I'm 66 years old now and I have seen these guys twice in my life. Great show they put on. No tricks. Just pure music.
So much talent on stage, lead vocals tight, music tight, harmonies tight, solo fills tight, check, check, check, check. Epic performance.

I was 12 when this song came out in 77. I didn’t see them live until 2016 and they blew me away they were so good live. Got to see Glen Frey in the band before he died a few years later.

Saw them 3x and most recently 2023 and they were Great, Don Henley 's voice is Iconic!
This band has been on my bucket list forever and I finally got to see him last March and honestly it was the best concert I’ve ever been to. I couldn’t believe how they still sounded as fresh as ever and they’re all in their 70s. Just amazing.

And Randy Meisner on bass , who played in a couple of bands before he helped for the Eagles.
this is one of my favorite bands and song of all time. I could play this song over and over and over.
Absolutely iconic and legendary Rock song. IMO, America's answer to Stairway to Heaven.
Indeed!
Good analogy,,,👍👍👍💥
An absolute Masterpiece, those guitars sound amazing!
Aaah the music of the 70s it never gets old great reaction. People are always going to hate. Just stay you and those of us who don't will always be here.
The Eagles still perform live MIA. They are right now in a residency at the new Sphere in Las Vegas. I saw them a couple years ago haven’t seen this show but the reviews are great.

Sadly, Henley just couldn't leave well enough alone and has taken to the road lately with a back-up track heavy, lip-synced act that taints the Eagle's legacy while making a mockery of the band's reputation for having delivered genuinely live stage performance versions of their songs that stood up quality wise to the near pristine studio productions that had been released.

My wife and I saw them in concert again fairly shortly before Glenn Frye died. Stills had no voice at all left. Young wasn't with them and Crosby and Nash both still had their voices. Still's could still play, but he just couldn't sing, the voice was gone. Just with that fact alone I can't believe he's still out there trying to make a buck But the lip sinking thing absolutely makes sense to me. And by that I mean, it makes sense that he's doing it because he has no more voice. But talk about sad.
I love seeing a younger generation discovering and enjoying the music I grew up with!
I couldn’t help but notice your chuckle at the idea of “a lot of pretty pretty boys she calls friends”.. maybe you could expand on that it the Patreon!
Best selling American band of all-time.
Eagles are my favorite band. When my sister and I were very young my dad had an 8 track of their greatest hits and it was one of our favorite albums. ...the other was an 8 track of the Smurfing Sing Song.
Another lead singer playing the drums is Phil Collins from Genesis. I believe there are some other ones too.
Official card-carrying OG here. I'm so happy that you are taking the time to listen to, appreciate, and react to the music of my youth! I think it's a very good thing. Thanks and I hope you enjoy your journey! You should also check out the Gipsy Kings version of this song. They did an awesome cover. The Gipsys are a band of Catalonian origin and they have an awesome catalog of music,
I saw them on this tour in Minneapolis (Bloomington) at the old Met stadium. Thunderstorms, tornado warnings but the band played on. Pablo Cruise and The Steve Miller Band opened for them. Stevie Nicks was off to the side of the stage dancing.
Yeah, the Eagles were a HUGE band in the 1970's - they even broke the record of best-selling album of all time IN THE US a few years ago, with the compilation "Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)" surpassing the sales of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in America (MJ still holds the record when it comes to worldwide sales, though). Also, not exactly related to this band itself, but every time I listen to this wonderful song, I don't know why it reminds me of another incredible record I believe you should react to: "Stairway To Heaven", a true rock anthem by Led Zeppelin - another extremely iconic band from the 1970's.
This is one of the must Iconic songs of all time . Everyone knew this song when I was growing up . Everyone knew the words did not matter if you were metal head or light rock fan
I saw them on the Hotel California tour when they were in Cleveland, best concert ever. So much talent each of them are great singers and instrumentalists. Eagles have a large number of songs for you to choose from and most have solo songs. I highly suggest listening to some Joe Walsh.
This is what happens when you put a band together of top talent musicians. You are what I think of when I hear this song, a beautiful Latina girl dancing in the moonlight at some tiki bar on the beach somewhere. Great reaction ❤️
One of THEE BEST bands and songs EVER!!! I didn't see them live but' if you're into guitar solos... I saw Eric Clapton live🎸🎸🎸🎸
So glad you got to enjoy the amazing music of The Eagles. Some other songs of theirs from their hay day in the 70s to take a listen to is: Take it Easy, Lying Eyes, & One of these Nights! I think of my time out West (New Mexico/Arizona and Wyoming)and my father when hear these songs.
th-cam.com/video/AaBw37-nWaY/w-d-xo.html this is: Take It Easy from one of their concerts, enjoy Mia
Short list of lead singers on the drums: Phil Collins (Genesis), Karen Carpenter, Micky Dolenz (Monkees), Roger Taylor (Queen), ...AND Don Henley of course.
Yeah, I saw this concert at Chicago Stadium in Oct. of '77. It was my first time hearing this song, as they were a little late in getting the album released, for some reason. It was also my first time seeing/hearing Don 'fingers' Felder on the double-neck guitar. It was his playing the 12-string upper neck that you said sounded so good to you. - has that distinctive ' chiming' sound to it. Roger McGuinn of the Byrds plays a 12-string Rickenbacker on songs like, "Turn, Turn, Turn", & "Mr. Tambourine Man" (hint, hint)
An iconic song. The guitar solo is just legendary, but the whole song does an amazing job of setting an eerie, mysterious vibe. One interpretation of the song is that it's a metaphor for California, maybe especially the LA scene. Eagles have some of the best harmonies anywhere! Lead singers on drums - Phil Collins/Genesis, and Levon Helm of The Band are both worth checking out. The Band and the Eagles both had other singers lead on certain songs/parts.
This is probably one of the most iconic guitar openings in rock.
You've actually reacted to a lead singer who plays the drums before: Phil Collins (In The Air Tonight).
Years ago, at least twenty or twenty five, I met an older guitar player from Cleveland who told me he played with many famous musicians from that area and beyond. I asked him who the best guitar player was, and he said Joe Walsh.
I got to see them live in 2004, and even though they were obviously much older than here, they were just as good. Every single member was at the top of their game, and pretty much always has been as far as I can tell. There are very few bands I can think of that have been as consistently tight and solid live as they have been.
Amazing guitar solos. Comfortably numb Pink Floyd (studio over live imo). Stairway to Heaven Led Zeppelin live version
eagles were just an iconic band. Its a good rabbit hole to fall down into as well. There was no one else quite like them, they really did their own thing.
I lived just 25 miles from THE CAPITOL CENTER in what is actually Landover, Md. in 1977. This was a 3 day gig for the Eagles, Chicago and a little unknown group that opened for this concert called "PLAYER".
Pretty much every member of the Eagles is a very talented musician and singer. They had a rule in the group that if you wrote the song you had to sing it. I have seen them in concert twice, and both times it was awesome.
One of the very best American Bands, they broke through in a big way when they got the immortal Joe Walsh in the band (his best work is on the James Gang Live, listen to it and be amazed!) and he gave them a more rocking sound and they came up with the masterpiece album, Hotel California. They do a lot of lighter country and story songs as well, good stuff for such a mood. Enjoy beautiful Mia! It is great seeing you try all kinds of Rock Music, it is wonderfully diverse. 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎤🎸🎶🔥
2nd greatest selling album of all time. they are extremely talented. i mean they do Seven Bridges Road as a warmup song. which is just bonkers. this is their peak lineup. but if you ever wanted to see just how talented they are, find their HoF induction where they have everyone who was ever an Eagle on stage and they all still harmonize and play beautifully together. its wild.
"Hotel California" is not the second greatest selling album of all time. "The Eagles Greatest Hits 1971-1975" was the second greatest behind Michael Jackson's "Thriller", but surpassed it to become the top all-time seller in 2018.
Eagles ...“Take it to the Limit” !!! That was Randy's (bass) song to sing and the girls went WILD when he hit those high notes at the end. BTW ... It was about the same time when Hotel California came out that the Guitar player with the red bandana and crazy look in his eyes Joe Walsh released ...Life's Been Good...on his solo album.
About twenty five or so years ago when I first met my woman we would always go to this certain pool hall and without fail this was our song to play first on the jukebox every single time
Yep great solo. All of them could sing and had success outside of the Eagles.
Because I'm from FL , I am partial to Don Felder from Gainesville Fl. He had the double neck guitar. He actually taught Tom Petty to play guitar and Duane Allman taught Don how to play slide guitar. Amazing how much talent was around Gainesville at that time not to mention Stephen Stills from Crosby stills Nash and Young. I'm sure you will be recommended songs on all of those people.
My favorite Eagles song slightly above this is "One of these nights, " which I think you will like a lot because it has a great guitar and also "Victim of Love "
I saw them during the When Hell Freezes Over tour in 2003 and they were unreal. Not only did they do ALL their hits they did all the solo stuff from individual members. I've seen a ton of bands in my day, I'm 63 and these guy's were the best live performance I've ever seen!
"Life in the fast lane" is a great song too Mia ! Greetings from France 🥂🌹🌹🌹🌹
Phil Collins would play drums and sing also. It has to be incredibly hard to have half your brain staying on beat while the other half is retrieving the lyrics and putting emphasis in all the right places. Amazing
From the 'Who Cares' book: I saw them at tender age of 18 in '76 in Tulsa, in 1994 in New Orleans, and in 2008 in Houston. All of them were Eagles worthy experiences. They played their songs to the best possible rendition of the track that was laid down on vinyl. Even though bassist Meisner left after the '77 tour, Timothy B. Schmidt was a worthy replacement. And after they ran out Felder, Joe Walsh carried most of the load and obviously was fabulous. Add Frey and Henley and you had a great run for 30+ years. Nice reaction and great look as well!
One these nights, another great song ❤
Don Felder with the double guitar was teaching guitar at a music store when 13 yr old Tommy Petty came for lessons. Little did they know they would both be rock legends.
The dual guitars at the end make it worth the wait.🤩🤩
Eagles were always better live than in the studio, perfectly attuned to each other, each one a great talent. Everyone could sing and play several instruments.
Check out more of this fantastic concert, “Lyin Eyes”, “Take it easy”, “New Kid in town” (Glenn Fry), “Take it to the Limit” (Randy Meissner) . also absolutely great “I can't tell you why” (Timothy Smith) and Live Melbourne “Desperado” (Don Henley), to cry and dream, and “Tequila sunrise” (Glenn) just good. And there's more....
I saw the Eagles at Red Rocks on 1973; that was before Joe Walsh joined the band. Between the gorgeous outdoor atmosphere and the woman who was with me, there was the overwhelming sound of the Eagles. Unfortunately, this was before they wrote Hotel California. I'm glad you enjoy them, too.
i thought that was you.
You went straight for the top band. This is my favorite rock song
After The Beatles the second best band in the world...i was lucky to see them just before the late great Glen Frey died..."Take it easy" next..another great Eagles tune
The best concert ever! This is just one hit of so many hits they have!
I've seen the Eagles 3 times..they are flawless..the played 2 hrs straight every song was perfect
This is one of the top 10 greatest guitar solos.
Fantastic reaction to a timeless song, also congrats on all the success too.
Hi Mia! I've had the chance to see them a couple times and something in life would happen to prevent it. That is Don Henley on drums. He and the late Glenn Frey took turns on lead vocals. Glenn passed away in 2016. They still tour. Vince Gill, who is a great country singer, is helping them out on vocals now. BTW.. Like the shirt
Being a pre-teen and teen in the 1970s, I had the good fortune of growing up with some great music. Depending on the genre, there was the Eagles, Elton John, The Carpenters (and Karen was the lead singer and played drums as well), Captain & Tenielle, Olivia Newton John, Barry Manilow, ZZ Top, Led Zepplin, and the list goes on and on...
Some folks call this song "A guitar solo with a song in the middle of it".
Another couple of examples of a band with the drummer doing lead vocals are The Carpenters and The Band (Yes...that's their name)
Definitely one of the top ten guitarsolos, but some tend to believe the best guitar solo ever played on this planet was the second solo of „Comfortably numb“ as played by David Gilmour during the Pulse Concerts back in 1994! Check it out!
In concert they are perfect. Always better. They perfected their live performances. They wanted you to get what you paid for. The last one I went to of theirs was 2 and a half hours. The best
I’ve seen them on their last tour, and I was crying for a few songs. They still have all the skill and sound they’re known for
Another great reaction! Keep it up Mia. Don’t worry about what anyone else is doing. I’m enjoying your reactions
Keep reacting and doing what you do Mia. I love watching your genuine reactions to lots of music I love. It's so cool to see someone listening to these classics for the first time. You are NOT part of a clique. :) your doing awesome :)
The Eagles are FANTASTIC. Every song will NOT disappoint. 👍👍👍😎
Pau, the drummer for The Warning, sings lead on a couple of their songs. But I still recommend "Evolve (Live at 2024 VMA)" for your intro to The Warning.
I am truly impressed that you have evolved so much from what you used to say was the only thing you liked! Looking forward to more. I know you hate slow, but "I Can't Tell You Why" is a good one.
I saw this concert in 1977 during their Hotel California tour. Also in 1996 during their Hell Freezes Over tour.
We love you and your attitude...nevermind said haters! lol..ICONIC band/song. Live concerts are 10x in volume and 20x in powerfulness.
I saw them back in the 80s, it was great. I was super stoned, but still....blew my mind. You should go to Coachella festival to experience the live music. And you are incredibly beautiful. Props. subbed & liked
Such a deep, deep rabbit hole to go down, beautiful, but am excellent one. Love every Eagles song.
Get Ready by Rare Earth! The lead singer plays the hell out of the drums! Definitely worth a look.
Another Eagle's song you should listen to is "Take it Easy". They made a park in Winslow, Arizona to honor the lyrics from this song. You always look like you're Taking it Easy, so this song should suit you.
They are all in there 70's and they still play like this.I saw them last year in Chicago. They are GOAT's
