@@chrisjenkins6120 the Eagles music is great and i like it, but, i will always love L. S. , the southern mans band and the worlds greatest band of all time.
This song has some of the strongest lyrics in any song ever, "they stab it with their steely knives but cannot kill the beast" and " you can checkout any time you like but you can never leave". Really hard to top those lyrics.
Don Henley was a member of Linda Rondstat's band. When he expressed an interest in starting his own band, she not only gave her blessing, she helped build the band that became the Eagles.
Actually It was Glen Frey's idea to form the Eagles. Henley has stated this multiple times calling Glen "The Capitan of the Ship" and "It was Glen's band from the start".
This song has crossed music genres and multiple generations, and The Eagles are still performing. They'll be in Vegas next month. I feel honored and privileged that I was just 21 years old when Hotel California hit the airwaves. It's a joy to see successive generations discovering them still. Thank you for honoring them here on your channel.
Watched an interview with don henley years ago and he said the song is about innocence and experience. He was reading alot of William blake when he wrote it.
You have a beautiful soul. You can recognize quality. Don Henley was the drummer. They all sing and write music. Many hits in this group. Congratulations on discovering them. Take care.
This is my favorite band of all time and the hotel California album is my favorite album. Every song on there is great all the way down to the end. All their albums are great, but that one is my favorite and that was the one that started it off for me. I love watching your reaction. This is rock ‘n’ roll that anybody can listen to and it always has been and that’s how they have always done it. I love how you love the way they Joe Walsh and Don Felder played at the end together. It looked like a battle. They’re both playing different things in the beginning and then they both played exactly the same thing just before it ended. I just thought that’s one of the greatest riffs ever.
Joe Walsh is more of a better solo artist. For me the one that put Eagles on top is Don Felder. He wrote all the music for Hotel California including the bass, drum patterns and guitar.
Felder was the man-his tone is rich an he wrote the music for this song-genius. Walsh was excellent but Felder was the man that played the great riffs -listen to the one in "One Of These Nights" awesome and underrated guitarist.
The Eagles are one of the greatest groups EVER! Hotel California was and still is a master piece......can't get any better then this song.....lovin it from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
This is probably one of the most fast and best guitar performances in any song. The lead singer (DON HENLEY) is one of the two best singer/drummer's ever!!! He has an amazing solo career too!!!!
Yep, great song. The guitars are awesom. Don Felder is the genius behind this guitar part. Joe Walsh is a genius all the time. Great stuff, thanks Sarah. 👊😁💪❤️
Great Reaction to this Classic and Awesome Band...... All the Band Members were so talented.... Everyone would take turns singing lead on songs and everyone sang harmony......
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", "Lyin' Eyes", "Witchy Woman", "Desperado", "Already Gone", "Best of My Love", "One Of These Nights", "Take It To The Limit", "New Kid In Town" etc. Before they went solo they were the back up band for Linda Ronstadt.
Before you even seen it, I know you love this song. Even more it will be the best song you ever heard!! This song has one of the best guitar solos ever written too!!
The point of the song is about people coming to Hollywood to be successful and getting entrapped by the fancy lifestyle etc. and not being able to get out of it. This song is iconic in many ways including the drummer as the lead singer but it is also one of the very few songs that the guitar solo is at the end. Joe Walsh's face when he is playing opposite Don Felder is priceless! Thanks! with
Don Henley's voice is still just as good today as it was back then, and the synergy between the band and Jackson Browne back in the day was awesome as JB wrote a few of the Eagles hits. Interesting backstory of its own there too.
i saw them 1 week before this performance in springfield massachusetts (3-14-77) - i went with 2 friends who are both gone now - in the words of warren zevon, "enjoy every sandwich" 😀
Hiya Sarah! And thanks for another great show ive always enjoyed your work...so Hotel California eh, awesome and great pick! That incredible album came out during my high school years they literally blew up the music scene with this album as well as all their others. 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Just a wonderful reaction from you, sweet Sarah. ❤ Yep. It's awesome to see these guys live. Give a listen to "Take it Easy," "Peaceful Easy Feeling" or "New Kid in Town" in concert if you can. All great songs with great live performances available to see.
This is an extraordinary group they all play ,write and sing lead depending on the song you need to check out lots more of this group Desperado,Lying Eyes, Take it to the Limit,Take it Easy ,Wasted Time ,The Last Resort) my fav) and Tequila Sunrise all all excellent choices many many more
Someone gravited Hotel California on N.Y.P.D. Central..it was a tidy job, they left it there for ages.. It Resonated with the words ...resonated with... You can check out anytime you like ... BUT YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE ...😊.
Eagles are so deep in catalog, it’s amazing. Harmonies to die for, guitars that mezmerize, and each band member are miraculously talented. ❤ PLAY MORE PLEASE!
Absolutely LOVE your reactions Sarah. The joy you express at this song is so uplifting. I've listened to this for around fifty years, still my favourite (along with Desperado)
one of the many classics ! They came to the UK. many years ago and my wife and I managed to get tickets to see them in Yorkshire England, about an hour from our home. Such was their popularity that the roads were gridlocked, and as we were running along the road to the Stadium, we heard the opening intro to " Hotel California " and by the time we actually got in it was over !!!!! I was gutted !
Sarah, you said it, you need to listen to it more than once to enjoy it. Like when you watch a show or movie the next time you see or hear it new again. I grew up to all of this; if there was a concert someone would find tickets. We would drive to attend it live.
This is probably too late to get to you. I lived & grew up in Southern California during the 60s, 70s & early 80's in the Malibu, Topanga Cyn, Santa Monica Cyn, Bel Aire, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Pacific Palisades areas. The song talks about how addictive & totally overwhelming the LA lifestyle was during that time. Like he said "You can check out (go crazy or die) but you can never leave". How true that was for so so many. "This could be heaven or this could be hell". So many wonderful beautiful deep experiences and yet so much pain & agony. So much genius, so much pettiness. That was the "Hotel California". So bittersweet
1st time seeing Sarah react - MY GOSH the joy you show while reacting to this made my own heart soar! I couldn't stop smiling :) Thanks for this - I needed it. Best of luck to you, Sarah!
The song is really about the excess’s and trappings of California and the lifestyle there.Getting caught up in all that goes with fame be it in the music industry or Hollywood.Definitely one of the best songs ever, and the band is fantastic,great work.
From a time when they didn't get in a hurry. I saw them in the mid '90's and they were every bit as good. Fantastic. That was a bucket list event for me.
I love it...! 🙂 You arrived at THEEE song of my youth. There were many, but this was the one -- and in a way, it still is, though there are even many more now. I loved your reaction. ❤ All the very best from Germany
That back and forth on guitar between Don Felder and Joe Walsh is arguably the greatest instrumental conversation in the history of music. Legendary.
Nice analogy.
Right you are sir
No doubt
Absolutely!
It was real back then now Don lip syncs
Hotel California is a classic masterpiece in itself. Salute to The Eagles.
The EAGLES are commonly called AMERICA'S ROCK BAND!! And they have earned that name!!!
I live in SOUTH AMERICA and for me EAGLES is THE BEST WORLD ROCK BAND or THE BEST SPACE ROCK BAND.
RIP Glenn Frey & Randy Meisner.
I can listen to this song every single day.
Linda Rondstats back up band. Eagles greatest hits one of best selling albums of all time
Dire straits Sultans of swing live better
Have had both bands on cassette cd and online since 70s
The individual talent of these guys is off the charts. The Eagles don't have a bad song❤ Peace out ✌️ ☮️
Amen!
You Know the Truth,♥♥🌞🌟
🎼There was nobody like the Eagles. Nobody!❤️❤️🦅🦅
I love the Eagles....but I like Dire Straits more.
@@Gabrielnobre
🎼I love them both. Some music never gets old. Never!
Agreed they were unique , but at the time so were a lot of other bands and the music was real.
@@chrisjenkins6120 the Eagles music is great and i like it, but, i will always love L. S. , the southern mans band and the worlds greatest band of all time.
'70 , best music was created ever .
It's so cool to see you digging this song. California here.
This song has some of the strongest lyrics in any song ever, "they stab it with their steely knives but cannot kill the beast" and " you can checkout any time you like but you can never leave". Really hard to top those lyrics.
LOVE IT!!!
@@Bowhunters6go8xz6x the steely knives reference is a pointer to their rivalry with Steely Dan..
The greatest Eagles songs ever
No waaaay bro. It's One of These Nights
The guitar dual is absolutely phenomenal
The audience tells you right away what a landmark song this is.
I actually cried when I just heard this. I've heard this song 300 times and I wish we could hear more material like this again.
Try Tool. Lateralus. And Chris Whitley-Terra Incognita or War Crime Blues.
The Eagles are so talented.
Don Henley was a member of Linda Rondstat's band. When he expressed an interest in starting his own band, she not only gave her blessing, she helped build the band that became the Eagles.
Actually It was Glen Frey's idea to form the Eagles. Henley has stated this multiple times calling Glen "The Capitan of the Ship" and "It was Glen's band from the start".
It was Glen Fry not Frey, to Start this GREAT BAND
@@rubyrae3797 it’s Frey not Fry: Glenn Frey is the correct name.
The Hotel California is fame."You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

Ive been listening to American pop music for approaching 60 years. This may be my favorite tune of all time.
We don't call that pop music. It's pure rock'n'roll. ;)
Sei straordinaria e bellissima 🙋🙋🙋
EAGLES are my favorite band. Thanks for all the great music ! They ROCK
One of mine too Especially this song or Take it Easy.😀
This tune is fairly easy to play the drums to, but singing it is a lot more difficult... doing them both together is amazing!
Brilliant Band, they were always on the radio when i was growing up love there music👍👍
Oh yeah, the music of my day’s in High School. In fact I graduated in 1977.
1975 here, i feel ya brother
Beautiful song, Beautiful reaction from a Beautiful lady. Magical entertainment . ❤❤
5.17.24. The addition of Joe Walsh©️ put them over the top … In my opinion🎸
that's true in my opinion too
Joe Walsh is more of a better solo artist. For me the one that put Eagles on top is Don Felder. He wrote all the music for Hotel California including the bass, drum patterns and guitar.

Pure joy.... looking exceptionally beautiful today ❤
The Eagles are one of the greatest groups EVER! Hotel California was and still is a master piece......can't get any better then this song.....lovin it from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
I was 17 when this song came out and feel blessed to have grown up during that time!
I was six when it came out, and even at that young age can remember hearing it everywhere you went that year.
we were blessed
This is probably one of the most fast and best guitar performances in any song. The lead singer (DON HENLEY) is one of the two best singer/drummer's ever!!! He has an amazing solo career too!!!!
Don Henley and Phil Collins are usually thought of as Vocal Drummers... but lots forget about one that came before... Levon Helm.
@@markmyers6472and Karen Carpenter
Karen was actually the best drummer and best singer of the 3
@@davidadams5280 best drummer, no. Best singer probably yes
@@markmyers6472 Ringo Starr too
Joe looks like he is having so much fun.
It's such a pleasure to watch you hear this, knowing that that guitar duet and ending was coming.
Yep, great song.
The guitars are awesom.
Don Felder is the genius behind this guitar part.
Joe Walsh is a genius all the time.
Great stuff, thanks Sarah.
👊😁💪❤️
Not only guitar part. He himself said in an interview that he wrote the bass part and choose the drum patterns. DF is a genius for this.
@@Rytnix4279rs absolutely 👍💪

Wow you are just mentioned my fav songs ever. Love them❤❤❤
I saw them in London back then. They were SO good! 🙂 aaah golden days! A perfect song
Peaceful Easy Feeling is another great one for harmonies.
Cette chanson parle d'un centre de désintoxication 😢 quand on l'apprend, les paroles prennent une toute autre dimension ❤❤
Brano leggendario e immortale 💯💯💯🙋🙋🙋
The most iconic song ever
If you love harmony, try the Eagles "Seven Bridges Road". My favorite is "Wasted Time", lots of tears fell on that record...
Beautiful...
Yes! Seven Bridges road!! DEFINITELY a acapella classic!!
Yes, Wasted Time and The Last Resort, two lyrical gems on the one album
I remember buying this album. Blew my mind and was always played loud. Girls with big hair and tight jeans liked it as well………good old 70’s……..
You should check out the song take it to the limit same concert song by Randy meisner of the bass player
it was a great time to be alive. I know because I was at their concert in Denver just a couple of years later.
Before you even seen it, I know you love this song. Even more it will be the best song you ever heard!! This song has one of the best guitar solos ever written too!!
Still a great song,even after all these years
I can never get tired of Eagles,love this band,all the songs are great.Eagles forever x
Touched by the music; you are awesome; keep posting.
Take It Easy by Eagles is a must listen. Love your reactions Sarah. ❤
Legends making the guitar cry , it better than any drug in the world,

It's a great song and another personal favorite Eagles song of mine is: Desperado, though all their songs are among the best written.
Don Henley was the encompass for which their success was founded on...❤
I love your emotional reaction when he sings we gathered in master chamber but can't kill the beast, complete eclipse of the soul and mind❤❤
I never tire of watching people react to this for the first time!! I love it! Great choice and great reaction. 🌺✌️
Love your expressions.looked like you enjoyed the song.

Glad you enjoyed it. One of my all time favorites.
Yes the whole band literally sing and play at the same time, and funny enough in tune with each other it 's called TALENT. RARE Today.😀😀

The Eagles can thank Linda Ronstadt for helping them to gain a foothold and get their start. She is another GOAT singer!
IS THIS REAL?....YES.
IS THERE ANYTHING BETTER?....NOPE
Saw them live in early 2000's they're unbelievable, every song is a banger.
Woh...Sarah...you hear it!!! Wow!!
Funny. I was 20 in 77’. Love the Eagles! My reaction every-time
I hear this song is actually pretty close to yours…😊
Your reaction brought tears to my eyes.
