Have you ever seen The Eagles perform in person?
I have, twice. Once in 2019 and once this year.
Six times
Six times but with frey gone I'm no longer interested
Yes
Yes, in the Max-Schmeling-Halle in Berlin
My favorite was Randy Misner. Handsome, very talented and under appreciated.
Rip
Randy Meisner could never be replaced.
I agree!
Th same as Felder
But he was, and they replaced him with the same guy chosen to replace him by POCO when he left POCO for The Eagles
Agree..!
RIP Randy. You were my favourite. Take it To the Limit ❤
To me the Eagles weren't really the same after Randy Meisner left the band in 1977.
Frey and Henley would have been great no matter who made up the Eagles. Two extremely talented guys who fell victim to their success. Not all that uncommon. I just thank God that they left us with some of the greatest music in history. I've always loved Joe Walsh's guitar playing, and as a Vietnam army vet, it's nice to hear that he works with all veterans.
I always felt bad for Don Felder and Randy Meisner...
Especially after watching that Eagles doc where Don says he just misses playing with his friends and then ends the interview cos he starts to weep....
Felt bad for Henley? Wow. Randy Meisner, Don Felder , Timothy Schmidt were the most laid back members of that band. Don and Glenn ran things and no negotiating at all. Randy said he was glad to get out , all the arguing. All of them wrote great hits but most of Don and Glen's got recorded. Too much drugs and egos .
I feel bad for my ears.
firstname lastname…… Randy Meisner left because he could not stand Henley and Frey. Felder was kicked out because he asked too many questions about the money. Felder won in “The Long Run” because the Eagles were forced to pay him off.
@@thevisorsusa I would crank up *Hotel California* oh my God I would crank that up
🎶🔊🔊🔊
I was never an obsessed fan when it came to The Eagles.
But I did a whole lot of dancing and rocking out to the majority their songs.
I recently saw Joe Walsh
jamming with Daryl Hall &
some other musicians.
They were Excellent!
I Love " Walkaway" 1971
& also "Funk 49".1970
Nice
Loved the Eagles from day one, great sounds and such a legendary group, the infighting is a total tragedy, with so much musical ability from all members, thanks for this and RIP Glenn.
Glen did pretty good on his own
Another case of too many Chiefs and not enough injuns😀
Eagles was the soundtrack of my youth
God bless Joe,I am a disabled veteran . It is so nice to hear and see people like this
They are true legends and I listen to them every day and it's 2022..still love them and always will ❤️🙏
Well said. Same for me also. I was a bit too late discovering their music in the early 90s even though I'm a 70s child. These guys created a soundtrack of our youth. Their music will live on and the next generation and the next one after that and so on will enjoy their their beautiful music. Here's a song that comes to mind now lol ... "Sad Cafe".. such a beautiful song. I'm curious.. name the top five of your favorite Eagles' songs from 1972 to "The Long Run" album.
Thanks for your love and support ♥️❤️
The Eagles are one of my very favorite. I've seen them live and it was amazing!! Glenn Frey is deeply missed. Thank you for this upload. I really enjoyed it.
No Band surpasses THE EAGLES and 'Hotel California' is surely THE EVERGREEN of POP. So sad to read of the demise of this fantastic group. Terry Offord
Until this video I always thought they were a tight group.
I didn't have a clue that they Out did Michael Jackson's album that's *"**#Awesome**"* 👍🎶👍
@@terryofford4977 ,excuse me? No band had surpassed the Beatles.
@@paididoy The Eagles did. 😛😝
Thanks for your love and support ♥️❤️
The best band and the greatest memories of my teen years..they got me through a lot of shit..loved these guys..!!
I love the Eagles music and absolutely adore both Walsh and Felder's playing...
Those are the guys I admire. Not taking away from the talent of Frey and Henley, But they were first class jerks!
Sad...so sad. The Eagles were a great band.
Glen Frey was my soulmate he just never knew it. It's sad that they had so much fighting among the band, to me they were very talented and will go down as one of the greatest bands of all time.
No matter what happened in the back ground, this band will be playing the songs that made them happy.
You mean Hotel California? They ripped it off like the airhead douchebags they actually were.
And that make us happy too. I will listen to the true Eagles, with Glenn (not Vince Gill) for the rest of my life and hopefully on my deathbed, forever! 💞💞
Should have been heaven to be in that band but they made it pure hell. Complete morons lol Looks good on them ol
We all have had misfortunes in life, but Joe Walsh losing his little girl would've been crushing.
The Best Band to ever grace the music scene. I saw them in the late 90s at the Starlake Ampitheater in PA. 25 year reunion tour and it was bar none the Best concert I've ever been to. Absolutely outstanding!
RIP Glen! You are sorely missed!
Glenn Frey performed and toured Australia with The LIttle River Band. At a concert in Brisbane he said during that concert that he considered LRB as the best vocal band in the world. High praise.
Thanks for your love and support ♥️❤️
Seen them twice and both times they were amazing!! Would go see them again, ANYTIME!!
BEST BAND EVER.
@Wayne Green - Yes, it was pricey and I didn't have much of an entertainment budget for the year but it was worth it!
@Wayne Green I would have for the line up of Henley, Frey, Leadon, Felder and Meisner - but not this line-up.
Not quite the same without Glenn Frey.
I saw the eagles when I was 17 in Las Vegas. They were the opening act for Jethro Tull. They were also talented. I never imagined all the infighting that took place. Sad.
Just always loved the music , most music now is computer driven , they play as good live as the records most song tell a story , just a cut above the rest
Don't know how many times I've seen the Eagles but I remember the last tour before Glen passed!!! Definitely in my top 5 favorite bands!!
Seen them around 1994 I think it was the hell freezes over tour , absolutely brilliant , felder was with them then , the sound was so clear and seemed note perfect to me .
I recall, decades ago, listening to Art Bell interview Joe Walsh on Coast to Coast. They talked about ham radio (apparently Joe was into it and, of course, Art Bell was passionate about it) up through his time with the Eagles. I recall Joe commenting, calling them "The Egos." He avoided elaborating and did not make disparaging remarks about the rest of the band.
Sandra, I am a bass player in SF and have played recently with Al Garth their road sax player..He made the same comment to me about Frey and Henely...the Egos..
Joe is such a real & cool guy! Talented, too! Have seen him live!!
The Egos, lol! Puts the Eagles problem in perspective now doesn't it!
No Egos in The Grateful Dead = Longevity, Henley!!
Joe sold Felder out. He was complicit in everything "the Egos" did.
Thanks for your love and support ♥️❤️
Thank you for this. These guys along with Steely Dan got me started on living life in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Amazing artists. Amazing.
Yes, let's all shed a tear for the multi-millionaires who had it all and didn't know how to handle it. Joe Walsh forever!!
Yep. Way back when Meisner and Felder were still there.
Joe Walsh is an absolute gentleman, he is one of my favourate musicians of all time up there with Hall and Oates The Beatles Rumer and Wet Wet Wet as for the rest of the Eagles? it’s a real shame they didn’t get on, groups getting on with each other is the main ingredient for having a successful sustainable group or band.
Don Henley seems to get all the blame yet he has said we collectively did some good things and some stupid things no personal relationships are perfect each individual did good and bad but it only seems people are forgiving when an individual band member has passed away by then it's to late and over sentimental waste of time
I agree,wasn't the same without Randy Meisner,just loved him,he was the best.
Thank you, for this video. Mental Health is not talked about enough!
I’m a Gen X guy…I have had an ear full of how “great” the Eagles were…I’m enjoying this video…
My son is a Gen X guy, and i brought him to see the Eagles when he was probably about 13 back in the summer of 1994. It was the first major concert he ever attended, but went on to attend many more after. His fave band is a band called Ween. He has turned me on to Ween, and yeah they are pretty cool.
tragic in like, being super talented and successful and tragic as in making millions over the last 45 years. i need some of that tragedy.
Same! lol
The Eagles are Touring 🙂 Eagles in Nashville too Great Remember Hotel California still have my Vinyl every time Seems Always back then My husband I got tired hearing it Not NOW 🙂 MY FAVORITE SONG NOW
To each his own. Never thought the Eagles were anything special.
You can't put two alpha wolves in the same pack without seeing blood on the ground. Frey and Henley killed the Eagles by treating it like their personal corporation when everyone else just wanted to make music.
Wow that’s so sad dog eat dog
Joe Walsh was always my favorite band members.
You forgot to mention that some folks, namely Travis Tritt, from country music sang and recorded a collection of Eagles songs called Common Threads: Songs of the Eagles in the early '90s.
Mary Altshuller Travis is the reason they got back together He wanted to do the album you are talking about and Cover take It Easy but wanted the original members to join him not thinking they ever would but they did. They had so much fun they decided to regroup and then came Hell Freezes Over the album and tour named after Don Henley being asked if the Eagles would ever get back togetherafter their split and he famously said it may have been Gken too he said When Hell Freezes Over and well when they got back together at a show Don Joked wellI guess Hellhas frozen over I hope I got that right LOL
Thanks for your love and support ♥️❤️
oh god am so glad i got to see you play i was real sick too live on family is everything and i saw you with my family thank you
Once, at the Omni in Atlanta, sometime in the late 70's I'm guessing. Fantastic concert. Thing I remember most, I counted 36 guitars on stands before they started playing. I'd never seen that many guitars on stage before. I remember them playing and everything sounded just like the album. Great band.
If bygones were really such, why wouldn't they get all former members back together for a tour? Felder, Leadon, Meisner, with Henley, Walsh & Schmidt - that would make a helluva show. I'm sure their current lineup is good, but who could play Eagles songs on guitar better than Felder or Leadon? Likely greed & pride keeps it from happening...
They did make some good music. I was a young man when they first started, and got the impression then that the over amount of drugs would be what takes them down. Other musicians back then, same thing. And it's understandable they couldn't know that then with all the fans, the money and the high lifestyle. All short lived for sure.
It's nice that they made mention of the treatment center and how the band members where so open to mention there long term addictions to cochise alcohol and other drugs I remembered from that time in a way I think most of the biggest bands that had a great deal of success use drugs to not only keep up the pace of months of touring traveling constantly and have only each other to spend the long says with
Cochise? Now that's some hooch I've never tried...
Don Felder wrote they best song and frey and Henley got so jelly they kicked Don out
Um no,how'd he do when they broke up? The rest of the band contributed to the composition
I always said if I were stuck on an island and could choose only one album, it would be Eagles greatest hits.
My copy doesn’t even have “Hotel California”. I don’t understand why they would omit their greatest hit from their greatest hits albums.
@@negativeindustrial That original greatest hits album came out right before HC. In some ways HC has overshadowed their earlier work, but the success of that original greatest hits record attests to how great it was. Then Joe Walsh joined and they did HC which began a new era for the band. Unfortunately by then all their problems got so bad they only made one more album before breaking up. After they reunited they put out more good music, and subsequent greatest hits collections include songs from their entire career. But that original early greatest hits album never stopped selling and it became the all time biggest seller.
@@amain325
That explains it. I have had it for probably three decades or more.
Thank you
Joe Walsh ❤️
That entire Cranston benefit was such total BS. Felder had every right to be upset! Why should he be expected to perform for free because Henley and Frey wanted to support their own personal political agenda?
I know! A concert for some old swampy democrat who probably didn’t know any Eagles songs!
Felder was the one who made the threat of "kicking ass",guess he found out how valuable he really was.
@@bigwoody4704 there were threats on both sides 🤷🏼
@@messi8921 Too many people chime in and really none of them know what was happened. Most bands had this problem cramped together for long periods of time adding drugs/alcohol to kill the time.They all did Zepplin,The Who,Black Sabbath even the beatles needed their space
@@bigwoody4704 exactly, you chimed in and said Felder made the threats. They both made threats to eachother. Frey and Felder both admitted to this in the documentary.
These guys were the best❤️❤️❤️
Writing good songs is often challenging. Writing great songs is often challenging and is also unlikely to achieve. Writing Eagles songs requires almost super human talent, as well as hefty doses of good fortune and luck. The Eagles definitely had the secret blend of eleven herbs and spices.
I am so sorry to hear about all the internal struggles, addictions, dysfunction, and the loss of Glenn Frye for sure. I just hope these guys can look back and be proud of all the joy their hard work brought the world. It would be so great if all the band members throughout the years could find peace with one another. Best wishes to all the band members throughout the years, may peace and contentment be with you. D
The eagles is my favorite band
Meh. Slayer is badass rad. And Black Sabbath is guitar tone perfection.
Another star struck fan eh? I get tired of comments like, They're so great, Their music was awesome, and shit like that. I personally was never into the Eagles, but I only respect Felder, Meisner, and Walsh. I read that autobiography book by Felder and it is a good read. I'm sure Felder wasn't a saint but who is? He's a better man than Glen Frey who only thinks he is tough. Meisner, who knew martial arts got into an argument with Frey and poured beer on his head and Frey did nothing about it. I guess he knew he'd get his ass kicked.
according to you.I've watched many interviews with Meisner who never mentioned that.And as the the narrator said they had to be seperated
Best band ever.
The biggest problem for the Eagles and so many other bands was "POOR MANAGMENT!!"
Management mark... LOL but def a factor...
Poor Management: Irving Azoff.
@@monique8641 poor live dvd materials
Eagles Randy miesner Damm straight
COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER IF THATS POSSIBLE, AND FOR LONGER, SO SAD.
I am the same age as most of the Eagles. And in my middle age, I, too, got sober. But, c'mon, Rock music really lives in the passions and excesses of youth.
@Wayne Green
Mmhmm...
What's even more tragic is that Don Felder never gotten the opportunity to make amends with Glenn Frey before his death.
Damn Joe Walsh is a American Hero. I glad I watched this video
It's good that somebody gives a damn about the vets since the criminal US 'Government' never seems to.
Loved him since I was a kid!
I'm a Desperado fan to me that was their best album !!!!!
And who to blame? They brought all that tragedy upon themselves!
Or the most part I would say yes you're correct.
The same way I would say yes, to homeless people being in a condition they are in.
Same way I feel about Randy
the fact that don henley and glen frey tried to stop don felder from publishing his memoir tells you what they tried to hide. That two is power crazy and money crazy and treated the rest like servants and employees when they are equal band members. i've read a few in depth books and interviews about the eagles before coming to the same conclusion everytime. They would control who can sing the songs and whose songs are chosen to be included in the albums so that they can get the bulk of the royalties even though everyone contributed to the success of the songs. Ultimately, it's greed. 1 Timothy 6:10
Everybody knew most all the bands of the seventies were fueled by Bolivian marching powder. For that to be a big secret was funny. Frey and Henley should be ashamed of themselves.
It's a shame there are only 4 DVD concerts of the eagles, considering the cool tours they filmed and their various TV performances, they could've had some sick DVD collections
Not really. They were boring live. Onstage they played reproductions of the album versions of their songs. That made them come across as stale and unimaginative along the lines of what makes a rock band a good live act.
@@pewsterbaby 100% wrong
@@pewsterbaby yerfukked...saw them several times live...consummate musicians and shows! Not the same energy as AC/DC or Metallica but a different genre...
Yes. Back in the 1990s when they did the Hell Freezes Over tour.
If it wasn't for Don Felder the Eagles would still be a second rate country rock back up band. No Joe Walsh no Hotel California nobody would care. The way Randy and Don were treated they should be ashamed of themselves.
i still think of Joe Walsh as The James Gang... I find it difficult to associate him with the Eagles. even though I've seen plenty of footage of hotel California
My dad graduated from the same high school as glenn frey, although they were several years apart
Anything mentioning details about The Eagles needs to mention Linda Ronstadt. She literally got them together...
Linda got the first 4 members together & also introduced them to Jackson Browne who taught Glen & Don how to write lyrics for # 1 songs...Both Linda & Jackson should always be remembered as honorary band members
Drugs made them fall apart. They got off the crap and came back together and every show i saw was great.
They didn't see their greatness came as a whole & not as individuals. Their ego's always got in the way of their respect for one another
You're correct, Fabi, but I don't think that I have ever heard Joe Walsh bad mouth anyone. Seems to be a really genuine guy👍
This unfortunately happens when every member of the band is a lead singer!
When an addict in sobriety says, "There must be a God. Because I would not have survived otherwise," I hope it will one day dawn on them that that statement shits on the graves of the addicts who did not survive as well as their forever grieving loved ones.
So true. Every time one of our aging Rock idols starts doing the god shuffle, I realize that in some ways, they weren't as amazing as I thought they were,
The mighty Smokin Joe, top bloke 👌
No need to get out of their own way. They are still touring and #1.
It would have been hard to be a member of the Eagles not named Henley or Frey
The two guys that thought they were the best and screwed up the whole band . Frey and Henley thought they were Paul and John .
^ ^ This is actually pretty dark...... but unintensionally funny. What sort of person offers you not a line but a plate of cocaine at a business meeting? Still they wrote some great songs. "One of these nights" still one of my favourite songs! Foxy Country Rock Love fae Scotland VVxx
Felder was a brilliant guitarist and extremely talented. But it was common knowledge that Fry, and Henley flew the eagles and everyone knew it. But Henley and fry had to prove it even to themselves. Fry went out and did a solo successfully , as well as Henley and both knocked it out of the park. Joe Walsh was already proven when they picked him up of COURSE there not going to respect Felder the same. There solo successes only solidified there past decisions they made. Hell even Timothy B Schmitt jumped up and wrote and sang 'I can't tell you why" enough for Fry, and Henley to see damn he's for real like us.
But Don Felder came up with the rif of their best song and the other two have always tried to take credit for it. And if it wasn't for Felder the Eagles would have remained a country rock middle of the road band. See how they haven't done anything since they kicked him out of the band. That is true.
@@milt6208 I don't know if Henley and Fry tried to take credit for his skills , but if they did then your correct that's shitty. However there is a BIG difference between writing music and writing the music AND the lyric's a complete song. But they should have valued him more for sure. Every member has a particular skill to offer the band and they may have failed at acknowledging that to him I don't know. But as far as I know Felder never wrote entire songs on his own. I was under the impression that he was what I call the Icing man (lead playing for songs) like icing on a cake. And they could have used better communication skills to let them know that , that is what they needed him for and gave him credit for.
according to Felder the comment was taken out of context. Felder contends he said it to the senator's wife who thanked him but he hadn't met her yet and wasn't sure who she was. Frey felt it was said sarcastically because he knew Felder wasn't happy playing free for the benefit. Either way it resulted in a 14yr break up
Dysfunctional band
-the best music
Best band ever have it all still,god bless Glen frey,,,r.i.p,,,no there band has came near them...
Most dysfunctional band ever. Frey fired the guy who wrote their biggest song, Hotel California. Frey and Henley even stopped crediting Felder with composing the song. That’s just evil.
Nah there are bands that were more dysfunctional than the Eagles. Their rival band Fleetwood Mac.
Felder wrote MOST of the music, but not all of it. Be serious, do you really think Joe Walsh needed Felder to write his music? Now add to this that Henly and Frey wrote the words, not Felder, and the words is the most important aspect of this song.
Felder may have written Victim of Love, but he couldn't get the lyrics down even after a week or so with Felder repeately trying. All of the music was already recorded, they just need the vocals. Then yes, Irving Azoff took Felder to lunch and told him that Henley was recording the song as they ate. But the music is a business too, and they have deadlines to meet. It's not like they just decided to take the song away from him for chuckles. So far as Henley and Frey getting the most of the proceeds, sure they did. They did the lion's share of the responsibilities. Why shouldn't they get the biggest amount of money? The saddest part of this is if Felder had just accepted the new structure like Walsh and Timothy B Schmidt did, he would would have made more money in the long run.
Rock and Roll is a Vicious game
On drugs or not they made some great music
True
Saw them 2014 Calgary. AB
They made an obscene amount of money & had normal life problems. The End
So great! Joe, I love you. Please just keep playing your friendly guitar. You could always bring out the MAGIC stored in a guitar. Try a 12-string. Ha !!
You and me are going to have to run things...good idea. George never said I think 🤔
Such awesome songs, but it's not cool how Eagles
do not like anyone covering them here on YT. \|/
Interesting
loved when Jackson Browne sang with them
JB - A very fine musician indeed.
Browne the woman beater? Lol. He sucks
I'm with the big lebowski
Bwahahahaha a blast from the past! Big fan.
The Dude says "I hate the effen eagles" and gets kicked out of the cab on the freeway
@@patm5086
Yeh i was the driver 😂🤪
The first part of this video can be said about EVERY group.
tragic on the ears for years!
What happened with the senator is he is a politician and someone like Felder does not like politicians because left of right they are full of shit. Frey was sucking up to the senator and Felder was bending the typical rebel and Frey did not like that. I personally believe rock stars should not suck up to
Politicians ever. They can agree with them on some things but don’t be a pushover as they are all full of it.
Sound and fair
Then you would have loved the Dead!
that's what happened when leaders pretend they are leaders
all members wanted to be leaders
Ego's and Frustration is a perfect combination of separation.
Felder couldn't sing so that's why they recorded it without him, and that was chicken shit, randy was really shy and if he didn't feel comfortable doing the high notes he wasn't doing it, but they made some awesome music that still jams to this day
Their music speaks for itself and you’re calling it tragic?
