I'm assuming Glenn did the other harmony vocal line?

Is that randy on the whistle notes ? Sounds like Mariah carrie

Absolutely! Love how he holds the high note at the end.

Perfection, is the right word!!! It's my all time favorite song!

Agree, and it has the most famous verse in musical history imo "I'm standing on the corner of Winslow Arizona, I'm such a fine sight to see, There's a girl, my lord in a flat bed Ford, slowing down to take a look at me". Never get tired of hearing it.

Take it to the limit was Randy's achilles heel. It was very difficult for him to reach those super high notes live, and he was often pressured into it by Henley and Frey. Fear of missing the notes was a major problem for him and if he failed, he was subject to a lot of emotional abuse.

I always feel bad for Randy when I hear TITTL and the anxiety it gave him to perform it live. Up to the point he left the band.

Yeah, during the original recording sessions those guys were just past their mid-20's. Nobody around to warn them that those notes will start going away in a few years.

I love Take it To The Limit!

The high notes in the harmonies is Meisner, but the loud high notes in the lead commented on by the reactor is Henley.

@@blackswanstudios6632 yeah, talking about a different song. Take it to the limit in regards to meisner

I agree 100%-he was very underrated-in my top 5 favorite guitarists ever. He had so many riffs that were so memorable. He proves that you don't have to play at high decibels-and shred just to be good-he was great with those smooth memorable riffs that added to the overall structure of the song.

Don Felder at his best-he was was so good in the solos. Great riff.

I second that on "I can't tell you why!" Such an amazing song!!!!

@@willmoney34 Timothy B. Schmit’s voice...aaah!

Pfft! Yes. Both of those are smokin tracks.💯👌✨✨✨

The three songs this one and the two above are my faves

A lot of people think that, but no. Only the ones in the harmonies mixed in pretty low are Meisner. The high lead falsetto is Henley all the way through. Henley also sang it live for years, where he sometimes held that crazy high note at the end. At one point he was accused by a journalist of lip syncing that part, and the journalist was invited to watch Henley sing it (from behind the drum kit I believe). A cool move by Henley. Ironically, later when Henley's voice started going down hill, they DID have him lip sync a part live...the bridge of "Waiting in the weeds", where a recorded vocal would suddenly kick in when that very challenging bridge came up. From being less than perfect as always the case live, when the bridge would kick in it would have a studio mic sound all of a sudden, perfectly tuned vocals exactly mathematically in tune on every crazy high note (the album vocal). Also, Henley's albums from 2000 are helped by autotune/pitch correction here and there, but it got especially bad on his latest solo album "Cass County", where it's applied in a very clumsy manner making it hard for me to listen to.

Fantastic Felder, as always.

Great reaction for something a little different again try Those Shoes off their The Long Run album. 👍

I'll just add though, there was no soul in their music, it was made to get in the charts. I've seen them live they were as good live as their records. But they were full as dishwater live, they were a lifeless live act.

No. lol
