@@stevesilva2780 Oh, to have been there. To me, this performance was magical. I can't imagine being lucky enough to have been there.

Randy always so humble.Beautiful voice I don't think Henley or Frey ever gave him the credit he so delivered he will always stand out to me as a true Eagle legacy the best...RIP you took it to the Limit love to you Randy.no one will ever touch thar song the way you did...

🙏💌🙏

Best voice off the guys.

Always & forever!!! 💜

They sure did 💯👍✌️

❤

They nailed it

@@96gatorcpa Randy Nailed it

And having a great time!

I thought the same.

Then his smile turned into a frown.

And then he and Henley fired Randy and Felder.

That comment is so on target! ​@@emersononeill

Yes, he did!!! 💜

My gosh...those high notes. Gives me chills every time.

doesn't get any better then that!

If there is such a thing as white soul, this is it.

Truly ❤💯

same…it was a magical moment

it just so happens I have a ticket for said concert or I will when I have invited a time machine or have I ?. great track.

Their best song...

You are so right…Randy’s voice is so beautiful in this song.

@@jjohnsonmadisoncrazy with all the great songs they have mine is not sung by the two lead singers

Yes, I am, and this is the year I was born ❤

Como casi todos los dias y la repito como 2 o 3 veces.

Sim, estou ouvindo hoje 02/07/2024 às 20:57. Linda música!!

Gets better every time I hear it, & I'm a 70's child

I am tonite

Truly. His vocal is stunning. He puts his whole self into it. Just beautiful.

They’ve had a few guys in the band try and sing this. No dice. Randy owned this.

I agree. His voice gives it a distinct feel- just right for the song.

Amen!

Again, Amen! Randy owns that song! RIP

Most humble musician of all of them. Unfortunately. He was so amazing

Most underrated bassist, backing vocal, and of course main vocal..

Considering he had really bad stage fright, it adds a lot more to it. Randy ran from the spotlight. He didn't want it. And had he been more like fry or Henley or Felder, who knows what could have happened.

I don't think he had such bad stage fright, considering he was the front man for two bands b4 the Eagles when he was young, and he did great afterwards in his solo career as front man. I think he just did not care for being in the actual spotlight! Singled out as if he were the only person on the stage. He just did not have that kind of ego!

@@candybell6049 Just going off what he has said in interviews.

Yes, yes he was!

No.doubt about that!! What an incredible voice!!

Grandi

And he hated having to go back out and sing this song. What a great song!

Jennifer Lee Barton Meisner ❤❤

I agree. It's tough to choose a favorite Eagles song because of the enormous talent of all these guys. But this one is my favorite.

RIP Randy,you were awesome!!

I concur

I completely agree the vocals are so cool 🤙🏻

Yess❤❤❤

0:30ny🎉😂❤😅

Yes indeed!!!!

Thank you for sharing his last name, I was trying to remember it 👍❤️

Almost every night!!! I just love his voice!!!

Me too..that voice..it gets to u.. goosebumps

Same!!!!

❤same❤

Me too!!❤

Don Felder wasn't really a singer as he only had one lead vocal.

KZfaq Knowles it .❤❤❤❤

Indeed

Two company, Three’s a crowd. 💞 Now Imagine the glorious band width. You’re welcome. 😂

You have a wonderful ear 👂 for music 🎶 Mr Melton.

He was beyond handsome and so very talented. Too bad Henley and Frye didn't take notes What a gentle, kind soul....💜

My all time favorite song and performance ...love you forever Randy

Sounds rubbish what are u on about no wonder he got kicked out Good God !

Beautiful voice❤❤❤❤

@@princykersting8270they were jealous

He was so very talented. My favorite Eagles song of all. RIP Randy; you are missed.

Same. My wife, knowing how much I like it, had it as our last dance at our wedding. She's amazing.

I agree. 💯 Rest in love, Randy. ❤️ Another rare one-of-a-kind voice.

@@rash9488 Tell me about it! 00! Thanks for the film! AMAZING! My name is Lewis Robert Burton Jr!

ditto for me.

GOD bless, you have a special soul to notice🎶🤠🙏🎸

We all noticed that. The sad part is this song, and his refusal to sing it live was probably more than any reason “the” very reason that he left the band. I will never understand it.

And that smile on how proud Glenn was....

@@Bo-hb3eo Yes, a conundrum for the ages.

@@debbieJ-zq2sx No, not a conundrum, he fell out big time with Glen because he was having health problems and knew he wouldn't be able to hit the high notes that Glen and Don H. expected... The song was like their finale and Randy wasn't sure he could perform it because of his insecurities that had troubled him for awhile.

R.I.P., Randy! Sing with the angels now! Beautiful voice!❤

You get all the harmonies in this 1.

@@brettlaughmiller9892 Yes, you do! I can clearly hear Henley and Glenn's harmonies along with Randy's lead vocals here. Their three voices blended like angels in a choir. That sound was absolute magic!☮️

🤗🙂

First time listened,but precious charmin music😊😢

Joe has said many times that Randy was the guy who could shatter glass with his voice.

Exactly. He was saying "watch this"

Yes indeed!!!!

I love it!

@@cyclingbutterbean he sure did!

1000 %!!!!!

@@anthonylicata6221Beautifully summed up. Thank you, the Lord, and the Eagles! ;--)

Absolutely, the most talent within one band in the history of bands, period!

It's just way too bad that two of the four originals got greedy and egotistical! Had that not been the case there's no telling how far this band could've gone!!!

Yes❤

😍😍😍😍😍

I agree

Love this song and the singer❤

i guess he never believed in himself... really sad.. what an amazing song.. what a voice.... 💞

I am so glad that Glen beat and teased him otherwise we may have never seen and heard this.

absolutely brother. joe walsh was honered to come be a part of this band

@@snowman374th are you dumb? joe walsh got invited to the band to make the album hotel california. that is clearly joe walsh having a blast live as part of the eagles. Randy Meisner-Bass and lead vocals for this one song Glenn Fry- Piano(mostly just this song)/backing vocals Don Henley- Drums/backing vocals Don Felder- Lead Guitar(ALWAYS since eagles took him in)/backing vocals Joe Walsh- Acoustic(holding glenn frys normal part as acoustic)/backing vocals. All this took place 20 years before i was born and ill know more about the eagles than you ever will. If your saying that Joe Walsh isent the lead singer in this song then your right! congrats dude!

@@snowman374th "That's not, Joe Walsh" yes it is sir, Joe Walsh is right there in the video, which is why the dude said "Joe's expressions are priceless. You can tell how much he's enjoying Randy's performance." and I said "absolutely brother. joe walsh was honered to come be a part of this band" Then you said "That's not, Joe Walsh" then i felt i had to correct everything

Bernie's as well

I think everyone enjoyed randys singing even big head Glenn was smiling

I hope they loved it...until they didn't.

❤❤❤❤ I went to Eagles concerts in Oklahoma back in 70s Randy is excellent ❤❤❤❤

@@PennyRankin You're very lucky that my dream came true for you. From here, i never can go to the Eagles concerts...😔😓

@@lawmkimahnamte1669 wow it was a blast lol I was around 16 when I saw them the most. They put on an excellent show heck yeah was tripping it was great. Can't do it now I'm 62 lol

Arguably, one of the best Eagles song. Randy’s voice very underrated by many…

@@PennyRankinI’m 62 too!! Man I loved this song and boy if I could have been at this concert back then I would have been screaming and crying it would have been so cool.!!!! 😎 ❤

Incredible to know that he was self-conscious about his singing voice, fearing he would disappoint if unable to hit his signature high notes for this crowd-pleasing favorite while performing in concert, Sadly, that was a point of contention and main reason behind his departure from the band. A situation as Bittersweet as the song itself.

My wife and I seen the EAGLES live in 1979! This song is our favorite, even today!!! ❤️✝️

Most of these guys were Great singers🎤🎤🎤🎵🎵🎵🎵

Nobody..

His voice. Gives me chills. No other like him. Rip Randy.

That um....didn't really happen, did it?

I wish I was there and I hope some were dancing 💔

58 here & totally agree with you, rushbaby.

😢😢 0:07

Randy knew he killed it

@@hmackie6823 he looked humble ❤️

but than he’s thrown out of the band . snakes!!!

@@harrydoherty8299 or he quit coz of toxicity. good move 😁

I love the look that Joe Walsh gives...it's like, "You heard that note, right?"

I didn't see a reaction from Don Henley only the others

@@laurapoole9081 oh Don liked it, he just thought he should do it every concert, without considering that it was a rare song from an introvert bass player (who had to let the energy build for the song). Every city wanted to hear it though, and it attracted the female audience big time, which was important. Don should have worked it out, and those fans were ok anyway.

Frey and henley were likely secretly pissed

@@laurapoole9081 He was too busy being an asshole.

When Randy left, the Eagles were over. No disrespect to Timothy B. Schmitt, I like him, seems like a great guy. But certainly not Randy.

One of the best well ever know! You are missed! 5:03

reminds me of something I read about Roy Orbison in studio cutting a record with a studio band. Roy was singing and hit a very hard to reach high note. The band stopped playing and looked at Roy. one asked can yu do that again? LOL

The band should have had/let him sing more songs. Egos??

I so agree with you on that, and this is the year I was born.❤

And that's saying a hell of a lot . I agree 100 percent

best voice I've ever heard .

Randy Meisner. One of the purest voices I've ever heard in my life. Thank you for your music.

Acouple Big Ego's & a few Gd Men Band !

A great live band but this is there best performance by some distance

Don and Glen were egomaniacs. Felder and Meiser were integral pieces

Randy was at the HOF induction ceremony.

yes, but they didn't let him play bass, and they turned off the mikes and amps on Randy and Bernie! (watch Bernie messing around with the Amp after the song started, and how pissed off he was when he realized he was unplugged!!)

without a doubt, when Randy hits the final high,it STILL gives me goosebumps,and I have listened to this performance hundreds of times. I heard he had apprehension of hitting that final high, and his smile after shows his humility.

Him and the back up singing from the rest. just perfect to the ears. Better than the recording version IMO. Nothing like raw talent.

I feel Eagles should have left exit stage ,with a bow, on a (Randy s") high note with this concert or soon afterwards. Left with dignity!👌😀

The smile from Glenn as Randy belts ot out amazing.... The crowd roars as he smashed it.....oh how I wish they could still be here or we could some how store utter brilliance in time machines to beam back for those of us who appreciate utter brilliance

Yup.

Yes absolutely perfection by Randy

They were at their absolute peak from all the touring… their sound was perfected and man were they on their game with this concert!

True!!!

That tour. Saw them a few days later in Greensboro NC. Randy lifted the stage that night,too.

Perfection.

Randy .... you are missed....saw this band twice🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

It's perfection, isn't it? I adore it. ❤

I totally agree. This was when the Eagles were at their best.

​@@robrandall1540yes,indeed. 🎵💥🔥💯

Miss them both so much. Gone too soon, too early.

Yes ,and also the Great Tom Petty.Thht one shook me up too.Got exactly same injury as Tom had.I had a a fealty strange thing happened the day Tom Petty passed. But l think , l know there is a he'll of a band ,in some other world.l am going to hear it too.But l ain't ready to hear that band☝️🌠🌌just guite yet.Still gotta lot of things to do here,not leaving yet.My Don Glenn and Tom, R.I.P. and the Whole 27 gang.Whew what a band. 🎶🔥💥🌠💯

Henley wasn't.

They never wanted him to fail. They wanted more from him, but he didn't want to be out front in the spotlight. He just wanted to make music and play in the band. They wanted a showman out there in front, and he was too shy for that. It's too bad they couldn't just let him play and sing and not be a superstar.

@@honkerh8r564 I said that Henley wasn't cheering him on. There's a big difference between that and them all wanting him to fail.

@@joe-nf7cf That was a response to the original post that the band appeared to be cheering him on. My point was that I don't believe the common story out there was that the band wanted him out and didn't like him. Most of us are familiar with the story that the band (mostly Frey and Henley) were generally shitty to Randy and pushed him out of the band because he wasn't a team player. The story is that it all came to a head after a backstage fight between Frye and Meisner (that story is disputed). It's also disputed that Meisner refused to sing the song or was afraid to sing the song because he might miss the high note. I was agreeing that of course they were cheering him on and wanted him to do well, because his success equaled their success. One of the highlights of their shows was this song and Randy's high note at the end. But they ultimately couldn't get on because they wanted a showman and not a introverted session musician. Who knows what Henley's mindset was here in this video/performance. Maybe he was just concentrating on his performance.

@@honkerh8r564 I base my opinion of Henley from all of his behavior, not just this video. And I thought you were pointing that out to me, since you responded under my comment. All is well.

Me Too !! 😢💝💘💖

And that's performing with early stages of COPD. Amazing

great...but id say "try and love again"

😂

I hope so, too! He certainly was loved and their best vocalist ever! Miss you, Randy!❤

He sure did. An amazing song with the amazing voice of Randy Meisner singing it. An absolutely beautiful voice!!! RIP RANDY FOREVER ❤

Yes he did .😎💋⚘

So True !!🕊💓👑🎸💕

One cover got so close to this original on KZfaq

Yeah i love the harmonies on the chorus

Yes..loved him so much and he was definitely the best singer in the band hands down

"underrated by the music industry." Moronic BS

❤❤

I concur. He was easily the best vocalist. None of them could sing this song and do it justice like Randy!

That voice ❤

I agree!!

Agreed!!!!

Well said.

So True !!.🕊💔👑🎸🥂

I agree with you on that. ❤

Most bands during this era didn’t/don’t They just don’t make music like this anyone. I am blessed to have been here for it.

@@kosmoboithey’re talking about the fact this audio is retroactively autotuned. It was published 4 months ago. Go listen to the original recording and you’ll see this isn’t the original recording.

​​@@codygoodman8794yes but Randy's voice was REMARKABLE and he had FEELING and knew HOW to sing 🎶❤️🎶 on any song !!

​@@codygoodman8794Randy Did NOT need auto tune EVER !!!!

❤❤❤

😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤

Best time ever growing up in the 70’s !!!

So True !! 💕😎🥂

Saw the same tour March 19, 1978 in Rochester NY, my first concert. Jimmy Buffett opened the show.

So True !! 🤗💓

its been auto tuned.

​@@simonjames1604I doubt that. It sounds like some of the crowd noise has been quietened a bit, but the singing sounds as good as it always has.

@@Technaudio its been auto tuned and its clear. you can hear it . randy was a fine singer , and this auto tuning makes him sound worse.

@@Technaudio kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9acpamUyrOuqHk.html

Except Hendley, the ego. RIP, Randy. You did it best.

Henley never looks happy. He actually looks pissed. Must be a joy to work with...🙄

When I divorced his Dad my son young and would tease me about my love of the Eagles and how they are the only group I played over and over…he is a grown man now and said it was a good thing “ he could sing every lyric of every Eagles song” we are still very very close in our relationship “he got me”!!!!! It soothed me to listen. He is an incredible empathetic son. ❤❤❤❤

I saw them in concert with Eddie Money as the opening act. They were absolutely amazing.

Probably had the best voice in the Eagles, but he was a shy sort of guy.

Me Too !! 😢🕊💔👑🥂💕

This is not the original cast of the Eagles. The original lineup consisted of Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner. Don Felder joined the group around 1974, and Bernie Leadon left and was replaced the following year with Joe Walsh. This was Randy's last year with the band, and he was replaced by Timothy B. Schmit who coincidentally was the same person who replaced Randy when he left Poco.

This is the one my dad played drums to when I was younger! I think others sound different! ❤

Oooooo❤​@@nd_irish_fan744

Yes he did !! 😢🕊💔👑🥂💕

RIP Randy. 💓🕊💕🕊💕💓

The Baby Boomers inherited rock for the ages. And, they ran with it. Thank the boomers for their gifts.

@@rigelmoon9030 don’t blame the boomers. I’m born in 1967 after the boomers and loved this music.

Just saw them in concert and it was incredible how they could all sing, play instruments, sing and play at the same time, harmonize. It was incredible yet everyone is gaga over Bland and monotone Taylor Swift.

@@pamelasmith6221 Sure. This is your era, too. Many boomers created this music (b.1946-64). I'm not blaming Boomers for anything.

There are still plenty of great bands out there making awesome music. It's just unfortunately not on popular rotation. It's also rare that everyone in the band can/will sing. That's why bands like the Eagles and Beatles are so special. But there is still plenty of great music out there.

i think Randy transcends his time period he would match up well with anyone from any time period

My story also!

Amen 🙏

He never abandons us

Amen

I felt the very pain you were feeling grew up in big city with no direction or parents god took me by the hand and showed me a better way poor boy from south st louis got to see the world 😊

I was at the March 21st concert. Long live the Eagles....how we all miss the Capitol Centre too!

Capitol center 1977, I also was there,awesome concert!
