Listen to the whole album from beginning to end. It has a theme to it. It's wonderful

This is not "Desperado". "This is Doolin-Dalton/Desperado". It is off the same album as "Desperado". Someone with more Eagles knowledge than myself should explain it. The album had a theme of the old west and I believe Doolin-Dalton is the character they wrote about. I am not sure, but you should go back and listen to "Desperado" as well. It is a beautiful song.

Yep,they got soul. They also got lots and lots of talent. Your next Eagles song should be THOSE SHOES. You are gonna like it.

the greatest concept album of all time in my opinion. listen to it start to finish it's like a movie.

There is a single called Desperado performed by both Linda Ronstadt who's backup band became known as the Eagles. They also released a single. I'm not sure who wrote it but somebody will comment, I'm sure. This sounds like another track from the same titled album.

Good start, @Scarlet c, I know everybody's short on time, but the Desperado album should be listened to from start to finish. It tells the story of a farmboy's gradual transition into a gunfighter, and then an outlaw. Bill Doolin and Bill Dalton were the leaders of the Doolin-Dalton Gang in the early 1890s.

The band did a live TV performance 1973/74 of Doolin Dalton. The studio version begins with a guitar whereas the live version starts off with a harmonica.

This is not Desperado, at least not the version I know.

Great breakdown Emily,you don't know how good it makes me feel to know you have experienced the Eagles, they have so many great songs for you to enjoy and you will feel so enriched if you do. They are true professionals who know their craft.

Hope I can add to the comments: This is an original song but the reason many people don't recognize it is that is a "reprise"(a term used signifying a repeated passage of music). It is from the second album ("Desperado") a Western-themed release by the Eagles. The first cut of the album was Doolin-Dalton spotlighting Bill Doolin and Bill Dalton of the Doolin-Dalton gang. The song "Desperado" closed out the first side of the album and yes, Linda Ronstadt's version was a hit. Before the formation of the Eagles do-founders Glenn Frey and Don Henley were in Ronstadt's backup group. The album contains a brief instrumental of "Doolin-Dalton" and a few songs later the reprise ("Doolin-Dalton/Desperado") is performed with references to gunfights and a lynching. The album (sadly puzzling) was not well-received but is dear to most Eagle fans. There was a video of the reprise starring the Eagles, J. D. Souther and Jackson Browne but the Eagles record label has it removed whenever it pops up. Try to find it, though, since it is very good.

Soulful tune, end of the album and the story....good observations.

You are absolutely adorable. I remember a few tears in the corners back in the 80's. I must subscribe.

Baby Girl!! Love you so much my darling ♥ With yo badass self..🤣

Desperado! So grateful I grew up with this music. Thank you Lord.

OMG, you are the first person I’ve ever seen who actually listen to the whole entire song, not just the popular song that everybody hears on the radio, but the entire song as it was written and performed by Eagles. Doolin-Dalton Desperado in its entirety is phenomenal. WOW! Your reaction ….. PRICELESS!

The Dalton Gang was a group of outlaws in the American Old West during 1890-1892. It was also known as The Dalton Brothers because four of its members were brothers. The gang specialized in bank and train robberies Emmett Dalton (May 3, 1871 - July 13, 1937) was a member of the Dalton Gang in the American Old West. Part of a gang that attempted to rob two banks in Coffeyville, Kansas, on October 5, 1892, he was the only member of five to survive, despite receiving 23 gunshot wounds.

Make sure to listen to the (reprise) but the whole album is stellar !

I was there in the 70s been to many many shows!

You know good music 4 sure!

I'm not really a big Eagles fan, but I really like their " Already Gone" Great reaction as always👍

I recommend life in the fast lane .great song

Next Eagles song to do is I Can't Tell You Why ❤

Headphones make all the difference.

This is not the original, this is a reprise

You need to do "Desperado". This is not Desperado.

Thanks, great song , I think it was from a movie ( a western) I have seen some good covers of this

Seven Bridges Row

This is Dulen Daltons/Desperado, not Desperado. Just a head's up.

By the way Emily,did you get a chance to try reacting to Bruce Springsteen's "Light of Day ...Live from NYC". Or did you have problems with copy write ???? Remember you promised me awhile ago you were gonna try to react to it.

Never heard that version. But I think it is better than the more famous one.

That ain’t desperado

I'm sorry, can't hear anything. What's up?

Wrong song
