Absolutely why l like watching this young man. It validates our love of the music we all love. It wasnt just being part of a fad. It had substance and heart.
I am a 66 year old female from Australia, went to a Christmas party awhile ago got the Best Of The Eagles for my present and all the teenagers there played it all night and were blown away. Stay safe and take care.
My mom introduced me to the eagle's back in the nineties when i was a young teen and they never leave my top 5 list they are probly the only band that stays in that list this song speaks volumes to me instant timeless classic i often wonder how don feels knowing these songs a still reaching kids and people today not only reaching but touching there souls
I love to see your reaction to a song that I have loved since I was in my 20s - I'm 70 now and it just makes me smile when I see people as young as you enjoying the beautiful songs of the 60s and 70s.
@@laurachambers1522 I grew up on it in high school. 10 years after the fact, then again when they remade it live in 1994 on the Hell Freezes Over DVD, now a quarter century old. How quickly time passes.
Going on 72 yeah I feel the same way they don’t make music like they did, they just don’t. Even now on the TV show the voice they’re all singing the old tunes and making them their own! Give me a break
Desperado is my favorite Eagles song because years ago my youngest son fit the theme. Fortunately, he rediscovered the love of his life, married her on his 40th birthday 10 1/2 years ago and they’re living happily ever after.
The Eagles is simply the greatest band in history. Don Henley, the singer and drummer, is very protective of their music. He won't allow it to be used on American Idol. He said "I'm not letting them do that to my music". Don Henley and Glenn Frey, may he rest in peace, are the greatest songwriting duo since Lennon and McCartney!
Your reaction is pure joy for me. My first husband was a sad desperado who never found the peace he deserved. But he loved the Eagles and his cassette is still in my Panasonic 2 track portable radio. Deep thanks for your appreciation
@@starrfishhill it’s a flip to the other line, “freedom, it’s just some people talkin”. Being alone in life is both free and a prison to itself. I have been there.
If you haven't heard of the Eagles you've missed out on A LOT.!!! Songs of the 70's era..absolutely superb all written by them they had 3 different 'lead ' singers..
This song is an absolute work of art! And Henley's voice couldn't have been better. His voice is perfect for this song. And for many, many others, of course!
I’m so glad you young reactionners are loving the Many talented bands and singers we had when we were growing up.. the Eagles were like country rock and I still them. And I’m 64 now.! God bless you🥰🇦🇺Tina Neilsen
This song and Take It To The Limit, are my all time favorite songs!!! Desperado, always brings me to tears!! And TITTL, just has my heart!! And the way Randy sings it, just makes me and my heart smile!!!
I think Take It To The Limit is also my favorite out of the Eagle's song list. That and Heartache Tonight. But then... In The City and I Can't Tell You Why are right up there too...along with Best Of My Love... dang...can't narrow it down, now that I think about all of those songs...lol
Me too! I'd forgotten about the song, but I hadn't forgotten the song... if that makes sense. (I didn't forget it really, just stopped thinking about it.)
I love when people understand their awesomeness. My favorite band. Check out New Kid in Town, and Lyin Eyes then Love will keep us alive, Take it to the Limit, and Life in the Fast Lane.
I get such a kick outta people discovering the Eagles for the first time. I'm 47 now, I was in my early teens when I found my uncle's LP album and decided to give it a try. This was in the 80s and Eagles was already considered classic and before my time. I got a lot of my friends hooked as well and we had a blast watching our elders freaking out that we were loving music from their time. I will always love the Eagles and I wish more of the generation of today would give them a listen, too.
@@lesliebeacom4567 they go back and forth, eagles passed them in 2k16 and im not sure if MJ reclaimed the record or not. Regardless it's the bestselling band record of all time so it's irrelevant
My dad first introduced me to the eagles, he listened to them through high school and I followed listening to them through high school and now I'm introducing them to my son.
I grew up to them too under my dad. From the cradle I’ve known this stuff..my 30, 28 and 11 year old kids grew up to me playing it. Now I’m two years into learning guitar and this is one of my favs to play!
I've always love the Eagles and your reaction made me so happy. You should listen to Linda Ronstadt. She used to work with them and actually sang Desperado. I think you'd like her.
There used to be a pub in my home city in the UK called Cardiff where they used to play this song, and when they did the whole pub would sing along. It was one of those joyous moments where people came together to create magic. Never to be repeated.
Glad I found this reaction. This is my favorite song of all time. It’s truly incredible how profound this song is, and written by Glenn and Don when they were 24 and 25. Thrilled to see you appreciate it!
Don Henley is also the drummer he has an amazing voice check out his vocals on “Witchie Woman” his vocals are really highlighted on this song, there are so many classic Eagles songs but this one would a great one to do next, you won’t regret it!
I love this song! It is hauntingly beautiful and the lyrics are so real! The Eagles are one of those bands that had hit after hit and they were all amazing! The songwriting collaboration of Don Henley (lead vocals on this song) and Glenn Frey was magical! RIP Glenn Frey!!
Love the Eagles ! Oldest brother bought their first album and I used to sneak around and play his record lol there is another version of this song and it is with Linda Rhonstat singing ,it is amazing and so is Linda, she used to sing with them BEFORE they were the Eagles, check it out she has a beautiful voice you'll love it I promise. Favorite song is witchy woman...♡

I love the Eagles💜I listen to them everyday. Can’t wait to see them in 2020 in Atlanta, Georgia.💜All of them were/are great singers and musicians. I miss Randy Meisner and Don Felder.
It is so much fun to see your reaction to the Eagles’ music!! Their song-writing ability (mainly Frey & Henley) playing and harmonizing were (and still are) incredible!
Absolutely loved your reaction ! I’m a session musician and this was the first real song I learned on piano when I was a little boy . This is a just a classic song that always stays with you
I’ve seen so many artists over the years, and The Eagles put on the best concert that I’ve ever seen. Lead singer on this is Don Henley, and he’s the drummer. Glenn Frey sang lead a lot also. Timothy B. Schmidt and Randy Misner sang lead on a few. That’s a bit unusually (I think). I enjoy your reactions so much! Keep doing what your doing.
they all specialised in their own songs and took lead at some point. Henley amazes me though, playing drums with his arms while keeping his entire chest still so he can sing at the same time. that's something special right there.
Always been one of my favorite Eagles songs. The song actually reminds me of the way I used to be. Always reaching for what I couldn't have and going for the queen of diamonds.
I love to play this song on the guitar and sing these beautiful lyrics. I strongly identify with the sentiment. At the age of 69 I can see so clearly all the foolish decisions I made as a young man. Still brings a tear to my eye!
This is one of their older songs. This album was one of my favorites. You almost have to listen from song 1 then all the way through to the last one. It's like a story. Great album!
There is tremendous joy in seeing people experience good music for the first time.

It's a BEAUTIFUL song and the.lyrics just hit me.....tks for sharing..
Check out the Doobie Brothers Stampede. Underrated, especially "I cheat The Hangman", likely their finest musical piece.
Am 64 , Still get chills from this song ,Love that Your Groovin!!

Don Henley has an amazing voice. Eagles have great music. Thanks!
One of their best. Don Henley, such a great voice!
One of rare drummer/singers!
Great voice. Total jackass though.
Absolutely!
YES! 👏🏽😍 Thee one and only, Don Henley. RIP 😢
@@d.sepulveda7669 Don Henley is still alive. Glen Frey the guitarist & other vocalist for the Eagles died, sadly, but Henley is still alive & singing.
I love this!! Yes!!! The Eagles are arguably one of the greatest bands of all time!!
This is my favorite Eagles song of all time.
DESPARADO Came out in 1973 ,, The sweet sweet 70s
For mine, it's already gone.
mine also
Mine is Take It Easy.
Same here
I am now 71 , I found my love twenty years ago , but until then I related to this song competently. Looking back it still tugs at my heart ,
The Eagles make up a major part of my life's soundtrack. I could listen to them all day.
Me too!
Living in AZ every day is like an Eagles song in realtime.
Same. Their music grounds me.
Me too

That's not true this song was sung a couple times on voice. They let voice do it.
Glenn Frey has a great lead voice also
An absolute pig of a human being. He treats his bandmates with disdain. Totally a C You Next Tuesday.
Lol
I can't break the tie between Don and the Eagles and the incredible voice of Steve Perry and Journey.
Tequila sunrise is another good one. Love the Eagles, such great tunes to sing along to on a roadtrip.
The movie was pretty good, too.
I love that song. My man is my favorite though
"What have I been missing out on?"
I'd say the 70's
Your absolutely right
Couldn’t have said it better!
Top selling album of the 20th century. My favourite band. May be the greatest band of all time.
Absolutely and weekly!
What have I been missing!
Real music, not the crap on the radio today
Your reaction is pure joy for me. My first husband was a sad desperado who never found the peace he deserved. But he loved the Eagles and his cassette is still in my Panasonic 2 track portable radio. Deep thanks for your appreciation
May he find the peace we are all searching for. 🙏🏾
So sorry for your loss x
@2:55 "Your prison is walking through this world all alone". I love this line...it's so true.

@@starrfishhill it’s a flip to the other line, “freedom, it’s just some people talkin”. Being alone in life is both free and a prison to itself. I have been there.
This has one of my very favorite songs since I first heard it. Just beautiful!!!

I looooove watching you young ones hear this beautiful rock. I was a baby when this came out and I'm old enough to be your Mom! ❤️
So much good music especially from the Eagles. Great music is never lost. It just gets misplaced for the next person finds it. Glad you found it.
One of my favorites. Try "Take It to the Limit" from 1975's One of These Nights with Randy Meisner vocal
James Townsend Take It To The Limit is amazing. Such chills it gives.
This song and Take It To The Limit, are my all time favorite songs!!! Desperado, always brings me to tears!! And TITTL, just has my heart!! And the way Randy sings it, just makes me and my heart smile!!!
2 of my two favorites are, "i can't tell you why" and, "new kid in town"
I think Take It To The Limit is also my favorite out of the Eagle's song list. That and Heartache Tonight. But then... In The City and I Can't Tell You Why are right up there too...along with Best Of My Love... dang...can't narrow it down, now that I think about all of those songs...lol
One more time
My favorite song of all time...still get teared up!
"You're losin' all your highs and lows, ain't it funny how the feeling goes away... " These guys were so young when they wrote this song.
Love the music you bring to the table and your reactions are like 🍒 s top keep up the outstanding work my friend 👍
It’s got to at least 15 years since I last heard this song, yet I was singing along as though it was only yesterday.
Me too! I'd forgotten about the song, but I hadn't forgotten the song... if that makes sense. (I didn't forget it really, just stopped thinking about it.)
Me too
Me too. I remember every word
Same
IMO, the Eagles were, and still is, my favorite band. Desparado was my "go to" song. So many memories for this old lady....
As someone who was born in the 90s I can say I reacted the same way in 2005 when I heard them for the first time 🤣😎👌 this needs more views
JFC I’m old.
I grew up listening to The Eagles. My first favorite band. Still my favorite band of all time.

Eagles "Greatest Hits" album is the Best Selling of All Time.
2nd best.
#1 20th Century.
@@ptolemyauletesxii8642 wrong they have 1st and 3rd
Clarification required: Greatest Hits 1971-1975 (I think) is best selling in US. "Thriller" by Michael Jackson is best seller worldwide.

They all sang, and they were all good!
Hey, the greatest band ever! Love them Eagles!!
Don Henley is also the drummer he has an amazing voice check out his vocals on
“Witchie Woman” his vocals are really highlighted on this song, there are so many classic Eagles songs but this one would a great one to do next, you won’t regret it!
I liked many of Don Henleys solo songs as well.
I love this song! It is hauntingly beautiful and the lyrics are so real! The Eagles are one of those bands that had hit after hit and they were all amazing! The songwriting collaboration of Don Henley (lead vocals on this song) and Glenn Frey was magical! RIP Glenn Frey!!
Check out "Lyin' Eyes".
My favorite.
Dedicated to the Ex!

"it may be raining, but there's a rainbow above you" one of the best lines ever

There were so many incredible members in this band, and their styles were all different...made listening to them a real ride :)
Don Henley has one of the most beautiful voices in the world! All of the band has awesome vocal chops, jsayn. My favorite Eagles song, by the way!

Linda rhonstadt does this song.it will bring tears to your eyes.
I've heard that, I concur
Not like this
Glenn Frey said it was hard to pick a favorite song, but he said he never got tired of doing Desperado or One Of These Nights.
Rock ballads with background violins give me goosebumps 😍
Love the Eagles !

Love your open-minded reactions, my Friend.
Yes!! Finally the eagles!! I subscribed because of this! Tennessee loves Eagles
The whole Desperado album tells a story of a farm boy's transition into an outlaw. I hope you can find the time to really listen to it
It's actually a loose retelling of the history of the Doolin-Dalton gang. Prior to teaming up with Bill Doolin, Emmett Dalton and his two brothers (Bob and Grat) tried to rob two banks simultaneously in Coffeyville, KS. Bob and Grat were killed. Another brother, Bill, formed another gang with Bill Doolin, both of whom were waiting outside of Coffeyville during the robbery with fresh horses to aid in the getaway.
By the way, the song "Bitter Creek" takes the name of George "Bitter Creek" Newcomb, another member of the Doolin-Dalton gang.
It is also an analogy for the outlaw-type lifestyle lived by rock stars.
Last Resort is awesome 2👍
?Why do they block your choices??
@@MariaAraujo-ue3pw yes indeed. It is a quasi call out to protect our beautiful lands. I personally embraced and associated it with our National parks.
My husband used to call me his Queen of hearts. We loved the Eagles. Desperado was one of our favorites
I love the Eagles💜I listen to them everyday. Can’t wait to see them in 2020 in Atlanta, Georgia.💜All of them were/are great singers and musicians. I miss Randy Meisner and Don Felder.
One of my favorite Eagles song beside Hotel California!
Henley was a fantastic singer-songwriter, a true poet. Check out his solo albums, quality throughout.
Was just as beautiful in concert. They just made music that you felt.
It is so much fun to see your reaction to the Eagles’ music!! Their song-writing ability (mainly Frey & Henley) playing and harmonizing were (and still are) incredible!
That is one of my favorite songs of all time.
The music of my generation!! Take it Easy, Hotel California, Take it to the Limit...,.
"Take it to the Limit" and "The Last Resort" are my two favorites by them!
My 3yr old used to walk round singing take it to the limit
Please don't say back in the day
Thank you so much for reacting to this song and band.
It's nice to see a kindred soul who loves Don Henley's voice, like I do.
New Kid in Town is so underrated!
D to the E totally agree 👍
Yes it is.
10000000% agree
Yes yes yes probably my favorite song by them
Absolutely loved your reaction ! I’m a session musician and this was the first real song I learned on piano when I was a little boy . This is a just a classic song that always stays with you
The Eagles had amazing vocalists in Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Timothy B, Joe Walsh. And then there is the harmonies. Wow!
Not forgetting Randy Meisner. Take It To The Limit is superb
@misterbigglesworth6159 Definitely
and don't forget the great Bernie Leadon
One of the best bands of all time...amazing...saw them live in Sydney years ago..they sounded exactly the same as they do on cd!!! Brilliant!♥️
There is a reason why this is one of the best selling albums of all time. It is timeless.
I was lucky enough to grow up at a time when I think music was at its finest ,this is such a classic album ,just perfect!
"What I have been missing out on?" A lot! One of my all-time favourites: Best Of My Love
I absolutely love your reaction to this beautiful song! Music is healing and can unite us all!

The Ghost , it really is special.
Best concert bar none. And I’ve heard them all!
I had the same reaction first time hearing this...lovely seeing someone hearing for the first time and the song is still as fresh today
When the Eagles wrote this they were still playing for Linda Ronstadt. Her rendition of Desperado is absolutely amazing.
I am so pleased you like this. I grew up with this music and hope future generations continue to appreciate it.
I can only hit like for your reaction once, dangit.
agree, love every Eagles song, Hi Di from Australia :)
Always been one of my favorite Eagles songs. The song actually reminds me of the way I used to be. Always reaching for what I couldn't have and going for the queen of diamonds.
This is making me want to dig my Eagles Greatest Hits out. ❤️
One of my all time favorite songs. So much emotion.
Your joy was so palpable, you made me tear up!
I've loved this song and the Eagles for years! ❤️
The whole Desperado album is GREAT.
My all time favorite Eagles song. I feel so blessed to have seen them in concert. 4 hrs straight.
I love to play this song on the guitar and sing these beautiful lyrics. I strongly identify with the sentiment. At the age of 69 I can see so clearly all the foolish decisions I made as a young man. Still brings a tear to my eye!
