  • In the rock scene of the late 1970s, tensions within the Eagles were at an all-time high, culminating in Randy Meisner's shocking departure in 1977. As a founding member, Meisner's bass lines had defined hits like "Witchy Woman" and "Best of My Love."

    The vocal in a song like Take it to the Limit is an extremely difficult one to achieve. Especially night after night and when a singer isn't feeling quite up to it for whatever reason. As a singer gets older the falsetto will eventually leave the body so to speak, and there is a point where they need to lower the octave in order to get through a song. That would never work in Randy's case because we all want to hear the song up to the standard it was first presented. Randy was a great musician who should be appreciated and he had a great, great song for all time but it was also his undoing. I would guess that as time has passed the other members of this great band can now relate to this.

Can you conduct the same analysis as Fil at wings of Pegasus ? My lip laptop broke. This is my son’s iPad, and I have zero idea how to copy and paste the url. Even if you don’t have that equipment, if you listen you can tell the difference. Search take it to the limit live, then that will bring up Randy singing it from a 1977 live show. It is flawless. It’s beautiful. It’s also a fake. It’s been remastered when it’s auto tune. Go back to your search videos and find the one where Randy is wearing a white printed t-shirt. It’s still great, but there is a distinct difference.

    Since this video was about Randy and his time with the Eagles, I'll just stick to that . I wasn't there in the trenches with the band so I only know what I've read, and seen in interviews with the Eagles . However as far as Randy and Take It To The Limit, to me that will always be his signature song. As for the feelings of retiring the song due to Randy's departure ? This one is a half for and a half not. The for is that even though it's Randy's extraordinary voice, the song does belong to the band. Yet, Every time I hear it, Randy always comes to mind making it his song and will always state that Randy was and is still very much a part of the Eagles regardless of what form . When it comes to bands that we grew up with , originals always stick out and some just say it's not the same, and it's not. I do however admire those that carry on with the band because it not only keeps the originals alive, it also does the same with their music.

    The problem with the Eagles was that Don Henley and Glen Frey were both bullies and that is what caused the problems. Same with Don Felder,he left because of the others as well. And Don Henley had his biggest hit about his relationship with Stevie Nicks,or should I say his loss of her in his life, and it didn't work because she had seen a side of him that only the other band members had seen and heard. And I will leave you with this thought, the greatest are the sum of their parts, not a single person, and paid workers. The Beatles were drifting apart before they did Sgt Peppers but held it together for their own sake, and for the amount of albums that they have made that were all top 10 except the first. The Eagles were very good, but the personalities of the band were, in some cases, over the top, and if he was physically compromised, it would have been worse because of Frey and Henley. Oh,and one more thing, you don't know what someone is really like until you are forced to live with them. And I am sure that there are plenty of people who know what I mean.

    The more I learn over these last several years - I can't help but conclude that Glen Frey and Don Henley are just terrible human beings - sad - but the evidence seems to be over-whelming and from numerous sources. I've always liked Randy Meisner's music - especially in Poco - I just hate it when band members can't get along and break up - the fans are forever stuck in a "what might have been" mindset.

    Using Chicago as analogy is not a good comparison. They had their own problems from when Terry Kath died to when David Foster came on the scene. Foster and Peter Cetera turned Chicago away from their brass section classical music, jazz and R&B, and more to pop music to suit Peter Cetera's voice. The Eagles without Randy and Don Felder are just a cover band cashing in to suit Frey and Henley's avarice for money.

    The Knoxville incident is a prime example of the autocratic, success obsessed Glen Frey. After a successful night's performance, how much difference would it make if the band didn't perform TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT as the encore? A few grumbling fans as they leave the venue? They were all doing a lot of coke, booze and whatever their sexual appetites required on a long tour. If Randy's voice is shot, a respectful bandleader would've said; 'no problem man, we'll give 'em something else' To Frey to demand Meisner do the song and insist that he hit all the notes is just; well, would you like to have a prick like that as your leader? Randy was a sensitive guy from Nebraska. Glen was a wise ass with attitude from Detroit.

  • @jonathanbrightwell272

    Just my opinion, but if they could back time and take a page out of Coby Bryant’s rule book, things would be different. All because you can turn a small, but incredibly gifted band into arguably in their own genre equal to Led Zeppelin, that in my opinion was the greatest band in my lifetime.kobe went directly from high school into the nba. As his career progressed, he saw leaving it all on the court was not the best route for he and his family. Kobe did not know how to take care of his business and large wealth, so he quietly began taking night courses in business. He needed to work on his foot work, so took ballet classes with 6 to 8 yr olds. I believe if they had hired an independent HR firm, differences could have been handled for what they were, business decisions, instead of what they became, personal resentments, don and glen taking control and dictating how things were going to be instead adherence to signed contracts. No yelling, cursing and fists flying. Also, look at glen Frey .. pronounced fry .. pictures from mid to late 70s. He has terrible dark circles under his eyes. He was extremely ill, which may have affected his thoughts and behavior. He suffered from the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis
    , which is not arthritis. I also have it. For whatever reason, the body thinks the synovial fluid in the joints is a virus, etc. the body over produces white blood cells, which kill off the red blood cells, and the red blood cells, instead of being filtered from the liver out of the body, the interior components dump that unhealthy rbc debris into the blood stream. It causes inflammation all throughout the body, especially in the joints causing them to look arthritic. It is a much more serious disease, and an invisible one, like type 1 diabetes, which is also an autoimmune disease. But the worst part is, you cannot drink alcohol or take certain drugs, anything the liver processes. And the disease is 100% fatal. There is no cure, only treatment. From the videos and photos, I don’t think he’d been diagnosed in the 70s. It is painful and you walk around feeling like you have the flu all the time. Stress can cause it to flare, and that’s certain,y happening. The worst side effect is literally overwhelming fatigue. I don’t know how he stood for 2 hrs on the stage. I don’t know how he continued to play the guitar. And another reason for self medicating through either alcohol or drug, was to,cope with the pain. Whatever the reason, it was killing him. Also, each full shareholder of the eagles LLC, should have hired their own counsel and agent, and let them duke it out. They also at any time could request an independent evaluation and audit of the books. I’m not saying they did, but if Henley and Frey also, any employee, not partner, must have the the exact taxes and retirement taken from their wages. They also have to provide workers comp insurance. A roadie setting up equipment that fails and injures that person, you pay all their medical bills as well as 60 or 70% of their gross income. Another huge issue with self employment, you cannot use the same bank account. And all full partners are entitled to information regarding the company bank account. I’m not throwing shade on this, because quite frankly, I would, too, but don and glen began spending money like there was no tomorrow. Were they writing unauthorized checks to themselves, moving money out of the country to hide true income earned, bank transfers from the business accounts into personal accounts? I don’t know, it Randy and don, as partners, have a right to that income. Don fielder claimed that eagles, LLC was not a multi million dollar company. It was billions, plural, billions of dollars in revenue. And now don Henley is screwing the public again. Lip syncing to backing tracks, charging $12,500 for one ticket on the floor near the stage. The crappy nosebleed seats cost 879.00 per ticket, plus all the fees they tack on. When all of this begins to topple over, I don’t think you have to be psychic to know, there’s gonna be a heartache tonight …
