The Eagles needed Randy more than Randy needed the Eagles. Fantastic song.
Rest in peace ❤
So true. Timothy B. Schmidt was ok. But could not bring what Randy brought to the group.
His kids needed him more than the Eagles and this band did. He had nothing to do with them. Such a shame.
Why did Randy Meisner have nothing to do with his kids, something must have gone really wrong 😮😢
@@angelamaier-yq6ql
It was a sad situation. Randy had a problem with alcohol and drugs all thru his life. His kids told the court he was a severe alcoholic. They wanted to get him help. His wife did nothing to try to help him. Shortly after his kids lost the case for conservativeship the judge ordered a conservative over him and to take control of his meds. It was so sad to hear Randy say his kids just wanted his money. They didn't want his money. They wanted him.
Randy Meisner, gone but never forgotten
1946-2023
I agree but , Timothy was a pretty good replacement...and they did pretty good..
Never forgotten!!
This guy was a real talent. Just imagine if Glenn Frey and Henley were not such arrogant a-holes how much great music the Eagles could have created with Randy and Felder still in the group.
Agree
It's a shame
Absolutely agree, the Eagles lost a big part of their sound when Bernie and Randy left.
I totally agree.
🥁🌈🌞...Randy...👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🍇🍇🍇❤️❤️❤️
Really the best Eagle, his voice, by far the best. Randy Meisner was my favorite.
The more I listen to this song, the more I like it. Not sure why it didn't get more airplay when it was released. I do believe the record industry was not kind to Randy. Rest in heaven, sir, I am enjoying your songs now.
Cause he had to go it alone
He looks so much happier than when he was playing with the Eagles.
Yes! Very noticeable.
Very relaxed!
He was the best of the Eagles
A guy like Randy belongs in heaven
He was just so sweet.
He is in heaven now, BUT HE BELONGS ON EARTH❤
His death broke my heart. 😢
Me Too !! 😢💓
Same here!!!
Man this is a good looking man. WOW. I know it's an old video, oh well. He is one fine looking man.
RIP. The soul of The Eagles
And heart,,,,,
I so agree with the comments here. With Randy and Don Felder, there could have been even more great music. The Eagles needed Randy and too bad it came down to egos and money. R.I.P. Randy.
Amen. Both awesome musicians!!!
I have watched this many many times. There are alot of comments about the lady who is singing with him and are they in a relationship. I can see where everyone gets the impression she adores him but I see it completely different. Just a thought: We all know he has stage fright and 9 times out of ten sings with his eyes closed. As you can see in the video he has developed a few ticks both facial and his left shoulder raising, possibly to off set the stage fright. I think she is a source of grounding for him and by keeping eye contact he can look at her and remain present during the performance. Near the end, she completely looks away and he finishes the song. In any case, it's so nice to see him enjoying performing.
Actually, Randy has always had this cute thing going on with his shoulders, especially, when he was playing his bass guitar. This guitar is bigger than his bass,so his movements are a little different
But, anyway,go to P Noe video of Randy singing Playing In The Deep End. It shows quite a few scenes where he's getting into the music and playing his bass guitar.
He's so adorable in those scenes when he moves his shoulders.
I like your take on that. Just adore that man❤
In spite of being prone to a bit of stage fright, he was a veteran performer and a grown adult...I'm sure he didn't need a mommy to hold his hand onstage. The Lady singing backup was there purely because of her vocal talent, not as emotional support, I'll wager.
Thank you Doctor Phil Freud.
@@DragerPilot why so angry?
The girls attention to Randy is quite telling, who can blame her. Notice how thin everyone was in the 70's, man those were the days & NIGHTS 🌃 Wish all the best to Randy, he deserved better than he got.💟
That's why Henley and Frey pushed him out. He was so sexy, devastatingly handsome and genuinely sweet. And he could sing like an angel. I was one if those slim girls who adored him!!
She may be looking at him to get him over his stage fright also
Came here the day Randy passed. RIP great singer.
Randy Meisner was a much better vocalist than Glen Frye ever was in my opinion. RIP Randy. You will always be missed! ❤️🙏
Yes sir, so sad egos and money took priority over making magic. 😢😢😢
He could sing circles around Frey and Henley. He was a threat to their egotistical asses. They treated him like shit.
@timyarbrough6356 He took it well for many years being a team player. His demeanor is what impressed me the most about him. What a remarkable talent he was?
@@jefftownsend4483 Can you imagine if Bernie Leadon, Don Felder, later on Joe Walsh, along with the great Randy Meisner had 100% support from the two asses(Frey/Henley)??? Granted, the Eagles were great. But, the line up I just named were some of the greatest musicians and vocals ever,,, all wrapped into one group. Such a shame. Dont want to leave out Timothy Schmidt. I liked him as well, he just came along later to replace Randy.
@timyarbrough6356 They could easily have been the greatest rock band of all time under that line up!
I just ❤️ loved him❣️ Loved his voice too beautiful and God given talent. He was the best of the Eagles. I keep thinking after him basically being pushed out, I wonder how many songs we havent heard that he wrote. I 🙏 pray he REST IN PEACE. Hes definitely going to be missed 😔
Love Randy’s voice.beautiful.
He has no ticks, he just make moves musicians always do, he always looks friendly smiling, love it.
Amazing singer!!!!can't help but love him and his music and band!!rip randy ❤️ you were one of a kind ❤️💙♥️✨️💖💕
One of the most underrated artists of the 20th century.... Randy Meisner has always been a very gifted musician. In my opinion my favorite Eagle. Outstanding writer, singer, guitarist, and bassist.
Thanks for your contribution to the soundtrack to our lives, Mr. Randy Meisner. You’re greatly appreciated. Love this whole album from 1980.... Start to finish!
You sound great you have always had a beautiful voice.
@Ron Nielsen - I couldn’t agree more. 🙂👍🏻
He looks so relaxed and happy here it makes me happy! I’ve heard people refer to him as the golden Eagle, it definitely shows up here.
Rest in peace Randy... May God bless you and your beloved ones. Thank you for the Music
Sad sad day, loved Randy.
Such a nice and friendly and Good looking man Randy ❤was. He treated the musicians around him also so respectfull!. Love that man.
The incomparable Randy!! After leaving the Eagles, the sound was never the same. It took Randy’s voice. I pray for him and hope he sees all these reviews!!
So True! I hear it now!
I read an interview where he said he had an operation on his vocal chords which meant he lost the highest end of his range.
Luv Randy, he deserved more
Don and Glenn did to Randy what John and Paul did to George and Ringo.
Froze him out 😮
Seems like he’s talking directly to Henley and Frey………Randy was the VOICE! RIP Randy you deserve it.
He has the “Ricky Nelson” shoulder shrug down pat. Randy’s talent was incredible.
This is the first time i've heard Randy Meisner since he left the Eagles! I can hear in his voice and lyrics that he is/was way much more of the Eagles sound than he was given credit for! Rock on Randy!
R.I.P. Legend...
I love Randy Meisner . His voice was so incredible! ♥️💕
@1:04, look at how she looks at Randy...for some reason that just gets me.
That girl adored him the way she looks at him.
A member of two of the most influential band of our time, Poco and Eagles, pretty impressive. He is missed, a true generational voice, my favorite Eagle.
Randy was always my favorite. Skilled bass player, and such a resonate voice that hung out to the last breathe.
It’s so good to see Randy smiling and really enjoying himself.
RIP Randy
His message to the fools that let him get away.....
I personally saw Randy with the Eagles and his solo act and he was always GREAT!!!!
By far the best Eagle!
Yes the lady singing on his left side looks like she adores him, no wonder, he IS so ADORABLE .
Yes boys and girls an actual real live tv performance with a real band. The mix is simply great!! Love the song since it first came out and I was playing guitar in bands. Randy was always and still remains my favorite from The Eagles. Love this.
Randy fue el EAGLE SIN RANDY ESE GRUPO SERAN EAGLES BUT THEY CAN NOT FLY HIGHT RANDY ALWAYS THE BEST WE LOVE YOU ALL WORLD
Miss those days man.
Such a great voice Randy and a beautiful song too.
Vaguely remember this, and hearing it on our local top 40 rock station. I remember hearing that he had left the Eagles. Then one night he shows up in a bar in Northern Nebraska, playing with a local bar band. I recognized him immediately, but other people there didn't believe me, that he was one of the eagles. Couldn't get close to him, he had these HUGE guys doing security for him. Sad part was he didn't play any eagles music at all. Me and my friends drank lotta Jack Daniels that night, didn't even get to talk to him. He's from Scottsbluff Nebraska, bout 50 miles from where we saw him that night. From what I understand he had moved back to Nebraska from LA for awhile, eventually going back to LA . Great old school song though! 🙂💯
Randy Meisner was his own man - he was great - my favorite songs by the eagles are the ones he sang - they should have kept him, he was a true eagle!
Absolutely beautiful, ❤️
Ya gotta luv randy meisner !!
The Eagles was my first real concert, but by that time, The Long Run tour was Timothy Schmidt's debut, and I never really cared for his contribution. Randy Meisner is a treasure, and one of the finest facets of the Eagles' history. I loved this.
Humble and kind
He was one gorgeous guy 😢love you man 🇬🇧🎸🎸😇
I would love to see his best songs compiled onto one CD. It would sell millions. Randy has many fans...and he never knew...
Yeah baby, and you're his biggest one!
Love ya babe...♡♡
me 2222
Marty Albright. It would have to be a double ,triple or even bigger cd.
Marty Albright I’m not sure Randy’s best would fill a cd. I love the guy, but the reality of his catalogue is what it is. That is, if you’re looking to sell millions. My favorite probably wouldn’t make your list. And vice versa. It’s ironic he was uncomfortable in the spotlight, and then had to front his own band. Seemed super nice, one of my favorite singers, bass players and Eagle. But if the record companies could have made a buck, they would have. And, BTW, I have his solo albums on vinyl. So I think I’m a fan.
SouthVA 757 I certainly agree with you regarding Linda. Although what little I’ve found on their few collaborations, not sure if it would go anywhere. But Randy and Andrew Gold in her backing band together would be something to see.
Also check “ Black Tie”, I think they have one song on YT, “Learning (or Playing) the Game.
I could make my Randy’s greatest hits and get a single CD out of it, but have my doubts about its mass appeal. E.g., one if not my favorite Randy song is “Is itTrue” from On the Border. Doubt many could hum that off the top, but it’s a favorite of mine.
I have seen the Richard Marx and Timothy B TTTL, and the others out.
Thanks for the response and info!
Heaven is your place and you’ve gained a broken fan. Love you and thanks for the music R.I.P.
He's so relaxed and enjoying the performance. It's like he was kept on a leash with Glen and Don. Best voice in the Eagles IMHO
I agree. Second is Timothy B Schmit.
You are so right
@@VigilanteVegan absolutely without a doubt, beautiful voice and beautiful to look at, just love him❤
Rest In Peace, Randy. Thanks for that beautiful voice and the soundtrack of my life!
I listen to this every chance I get…just to see Randy! I wish they would bring back his two first albums…there a lot of us who pay a lot of money to get them…in tribute to him! RIP Randy
I have them all
I hope he see all of the reviews too! Great song!
Favorite.... RIP Gotta Get Away ....
This song makes me sad for Randy, some say it says a lot about how he felt about leaving the Eagles. I wish he had had a better life. he is just so incredible and it hurts to hear about the pain he has had to go through. He deserved so much more.He is looking pretty good in the last few pictures I've seen him in. I hope Randy has found some peace in these last years of his life.So many people just LOVE him.
Erin Radke That was so thoughtful and well said. So many of us love Randy❤️
I feel the same way. I read someone's comment about Randy. He'd played as a back up musician with Randy. Said he has such a sweet soul. Down to earth. I know his health isn't good. He's battled addictions and the tragic death of his wife. I wish him PEACE. He was my favorite Eagle.
He was a founding member of Poco after the Eagles!
Erin Radke I love his voice and his take it to the limit vocals amazing
@@jackanderson6882 he was in poco before the eagles. Then timothy schmidt took his spot in poco, then replaced him in the eagles also.
Randy Meisner the coolest of the Eagles
For sure. Deserved a better fate, though not too late to turn it around (with help)..
Ramon Llanes oh gosh absolutely.
And the best ( along with Felder )
This!
Randy looking soooo hot, the handsomest and with the best vocals among the eagles. I wish you read as ll these sweet messages from your avid fans Randy, to uplift you and make your day somehow. Stay healthy and be strong, you are still young👍
Loved to have met him. Seemed like a very Good Man!!
I just love seeing him singing and looking happy! His talent really shows through here! RIP Randy. ❤
Randy, the best personality of the Eagles. This man was a so good guy.
RIP, my friend. ❤❤❤
Si Randy était pour moi le meilleur, Thimothy, Joe et Bernie le suivent.
Vient ensuite Don Felder.
Le dernier était Glenn.
Pour Don Henley, c'est plus complexe. Est ce le mec sympa et réglo ? Ou bien trop proche de Glenn qui l'aurait rop manipulé ?
Mention spéciale à Bill, le producteur, à qui le groupe doit énormément.
That man can sing!
He's more relaxed here, no longer stressed when he was with the Eagles, sometimes you have to walk away from huge success to have a better peace of mind.
Deca Cards52 I read he delt with stage fright and didn’t like the spotlight of success. Music seemed a double edge sword for him. Beautiful voice. Talented musician. Deserved more success.

This song meant the world to me as a kid. RIP.
So glad to see Randy so happy. He was the greatest of the Eagles in my opimon.
Nah, but an integral part of the band just the same.
@@davidhendrickson8378 In your opinion, of coarse.
None of the other members of Eagles came close to Randy’s voice, he was by far the best singer, his range was incredible, the best I’ve ever heard, spine tingling and beautiful to boot ❤
Great song.randy.
Being a performer like randy you must never be controlled by other members in the eagles band because you can’t simply perform at your best on stage this guys voice is spell bounding no wonder why he drifted away he is too good for others to tie down go randy
The guy doing intro was interesting and the the gorgeous Randy singing was just beautiful !
I just started listening to Randys solo stuff. This is so much better than most of the Eagles output since he left.
Him and Bernie should have tried something together. They were the soul of the Eagles anyway. The Eagles were a band of hired guns after they left.
Randy Meisner and Dan Fielder are amazing imagine if they stay with the Eagles it will be so amazing wishing Randy and Don happiness and good health take care love both 💙💙
RIP Randy 🙏😪😪😪
Randy has regrets. You can tell by this song. But that back up singer girl is in love with him.
I got through this lockdown because of you Randy. I thank you for being around. I wish you health and happiness. Hugs. X
Terrific Silverados! ❤️ Randy!
one of the Best if not the best
Randy being with kind people gave him peace and confidence. How could you hate him. Take care idol
A good Nebraska boy
Love you Randy pure soul lovely heart , God bless you , you made the Eagles wish you well Randy sending you all the love in the world 💕🙏💕🇮🇪
I absolutely love this song. I listen to it at least once a week. I never tire of hearing it.
I love this song. Takes me back to 1979 & 80...
May GOd be with you always Randy.
Gotta get away
Gonna leave this town today
It's been too long a time
I've been ready to go
But I just couldn't face it
My back's to the wall
Ooh, don't you know
I can't take it no more
This time in my life I know
I won't be coming home
Can't you see in my eyes
I'm gonna have to go it alone
I don't know where I'm going
All I know
Is that I gotta get away from here
There ain't nothin' in these dusty streets
But there's something in these dreams
I don't know what they mean
They come and they go
And they keep haunting me
Night after night
I turn them away
But they keep calling
This time in my life I know
I won't be coming home
Can't you see in my eyes
I'm gonna have to go it alone
I don't know where I'm going
All I know
Is that I gotta get away from here
The King RIP
Randy is my favorite love listening to his music take care Randy be safe
So GOOD to see him SMILE!!!
Stand Mr Randy Meisner and take a bow, what a star what a voice, Eagles never the same after you left🥇🇺🇸. The best thing you ever done for your own self respect. They are not worthy of you talent and your voice. Henley and Fry(rip) could never get over the fact that you had the biggest hit and biggest number 1 song for the Eagles. 👏👏👏👏
I think Hotel California was thier biggest hit. Felder wrote that if I'm not mistaken. Doesn't matter, Randy is a class act
@@myopinion1845
Yes Hotel California was their biggest hit. But Take It To The Limit was their first million selling hit.
On this day in 1980 {December 5th} Randy Meisner performed "Hearts On Fire", "Got To Get Away", and "Trouble Ahead" on the NBC-TV late night musical variety program, 'The Midnight Special'...
Surprisingly, he didn't perform "Deep Inside My Heat", for at the time it was in it's first of two weeks at position #22 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, and that would also be it's peaked position on the chart...
The following month on January 18th, 1981, "Hearts On Fire" entered the Top 100 at position #65, seven weeks later it would peak at #19 {for 3 weeks} and it spent fifteen weeks on the Top 100...
Besides "Deep Inside My Heart" and "Hearts On Fire", he had one other Top 100 record, "Never Been In Love", it reached #28 {for 3 weeks} on September 22nd, 1982...
Randall Herman Meisner will celebrate his 73rd birthday in three months on March 8th, 2019...
Note: The above video is from the February 27th, 1981 episode of 'Fridays'...
😍😍😍😍😍😍
♡♡♡♡
Looking at comments to this great song I see the comment about Randy appearing on NBC -TV Midnight Special on December 5th 1980.
How ironic that today's date is December 5th.
I totally adore Randy & his beyond amazing voice.
He is by far my favorite Eagle. Most down to earth & best looking one as well.
Eye candy Randy♡♡🐺🦅
Randy Meisner beautiful face beautiful voice 💖💖💖
It's funny that Randy did not like being in the limelight when in the Eagles, but here he seems to be loving it, direct eye contact with the camera. Perhaps it was the pressure of Glen and Don's perfectionism that was too much.
John S Totally agree. Randy looks so happy and peaceful away from that pressure cooker. Doing his own thing, his way and loving it. Can only hope he finds peace again.
I was watching an interview where he said he left the Eagles because he wasn't getting to sing as much as he would like.
Yes agree! There seem to be a lot of pressure in the Eagles. Especially with Glen Frey. I here he was an absolute @$$ to work with. Randy didn’t seem to have the thick skin needed to be in the Eagles.
John S glen and dons egos were bigger Randy was more laid back and acceptable
@@rusty5451 Vince Gill will not be pushed around like they did Randy. Sometimes I think Randy was a big loss .
RIP Randy, What An Amazing Musician He Was
Song of my life when I really needed it, but I didn't even know it, because the radio stations sucked around here and didn't play it, and I didn't yet own the albums. I got the albums when I finally did get away. I love all the songs, and I do hope he's seen all the comments.
I saw this band in concert and they really fit Randy's style.
I love Randy
Rest in peace with angels ❤
I don't listen to the buzzards, I go for Randy every time!
Kathy Kirk ..hehe ..love that ..me neither...our golden eagle all the way x
Happy Birthday Randy 8/3/21 love from Scotland XX XX XX 💙💛💙💙💙💛👏👏👏, and many more!!! X 🤗. Stay very safe because you are precious. X
Great performance by Randy Meisner and the Silverados, 19981, the touring group that includes Greg Palmer, Todd Smith , Sterling Smith , Don Francisco and Therese Heston .
was it Craig Krampf behind the drums?
Looked like him
That piano!
The best live show or one single song of any ex-eagle ever did. This is how eagles should've been carried on.
God bless you randy
