10:30 you want to have to think about the fact that this was 1977 and they're singing live with no extra equipment to make them sound better this is what they sound like live and this is what they sound like recorded that is what makes them one of the best bands of all times

Dude!!!! I was there! It was a wedding gift and one of the best concerts I have ever been to, except for the original Woodstock...... That's another story! And yes I am an old hippie, I never changed, the freaking world changed around me. So welcome, to a tiny slice of what my beautiful world was like.

Randy Meisner is playing bass on this song. He is on the far left. The two lead guitars are Don Felder (double neck guitar) and the legendary Joe Walsh.

The Eagles set the standard for the best groups having three guitars and all members can sing. These are the most successful bands because they wrote, played and sang their songs. This reduced the interference by record companies and the band got all the cash. No studio musicians or songwriters to pay behind the scenes. Don Henley and Glenn Frye were smart leaders. Every band member has released solo albums and sang in the lead on a variety of Eagle song. This is the band that wrote the manual for success in rock music.

Don Henley on drums and lead vocals, Randy Meisner on bass and background vocals, Glenn Frey on acoustic guitar and background vocals, Don Felder on double neck Gibson guitar and background vocals. Joe Walsh on Fender telecaster guitar and background vocals. Felder and Walsh dueling solo is legendary!!!!!

Seven Bridges road one of the best vocal harmonies I've ever heard!!!!👍👊😎🇨🇦

My husband is a retired drummer. He often sang 4-5 leads per show. It’s not where the drums are located that’s the hindrance. Imagine, if you will, moving each arm and leg independently AND singing. Drumming requires energy and oxygen. Phrasing and getting a breath requires a lot of skill.

Yep, this is quite the classic tune, one of the best songs ever written and performed. You can't go wrong with the Eagles-hit after hit.

twin leads used to be a common thing. Skynyrd, Allman Bros, they all did it. We called it "cutting heads" back in the day. Swapping licks back and forth. The thing about the Eagles is every one of them could sing and write. All had solo careers alongside the group. as for the3 bass player, this one was Randy Meisner and he sang one of their biggest hits "Take it to the Limit" which showcases his tenor voice. When Randy left Timothy B. Schmidt replaced him and he sang on the hit " I Can't Tell You Why"

One of the greatest guitar duet solos ever! Don and Joe were in sync!

I'm jumping up and down, so happy you are reacting to the EAGLES!!!!! They are ALL so very talented!!!! oh yes my son, go down this rabbit hole, you will NEVER regret it!!!!!!!! Some of their Greatest hits are; Take it easy, one of these nights, take it to the limit, witchy woman, the best of my love, Lyin' eyes, Desperado, Take it to the limit, and many many more!!!! ENJOY!!!!!!! Don Henley and Glenn Frey wrote most of the Eagles music...

They don’t really have a “lead singer”…just depends on the song. Sometimes you will have Don, sometimes Glenn (RIP) and sometimes Joe. They all have amazing voices.

There’s a live version of “Take it to the Limit” - phenomenal!

Randy Misner was the bassist. All of them were lead singers on songs - but mostly Henley and Frey. So many good tunes. Life in the Fast Lane, Witchy Woman, One of these Nights, and one of my favorites Those Shoes. I am enjoying your reactions - thanks!

That dueling guitar solo between Felder and Walsh is legendary. They were so in sync it's unreal. They are the best of the best. Glenn Frey (pronounced fry like eye) was a master with the arrangements, and he and Henley wrote most of their songs. Felder came up with the opening riff and Henley and Frey ran with it from there. And Henley playing drums while singing lead on such a wordy song... These guys are rock and roll Gods. Their live shows sound as good or better than the studio versions of all their songs. Not easy to do, but they make it look like nothing. RIP Glenn 🥲

Joe Walsh had recently joined the group I believe in 1976. Prior to that he was with "The James Gang" best known for "Funk 49", and his solo career which was amazing in itself with "Rocky Mountain Way" amongst his most popular signature songs. He was the one wearing the bandana on his head in the guitar solos.

The "solo" was really 3 guitars (the double neck being 12 string on top and 6 string on the bottom), however, you are correct it was a 2 guitar solo b/c only the bottom neck of the double neck was used. The Eagles were the hottest ticket when I was a teenager, although I was a Zep head. When I did see The Eagles, I was NOT disappointed! As you saw, they delivered live what they gave on vinyl. I saw them in '78.

Actually Linda ronstadt had the Eagles as her touring band then they decided to create their own band from and that became history. Maybe try a reaction to her music like "You're No Good" which was one of her most famous songs.

The eagles one of the greatest.

The Eagles are by far my favorite band of all time. They don't have a single song i don't like

The lyrics to Hotel California have been ingrained in my brain (I would say my heart) since I was 14, I am now 60, whenever one of them dies it is like a personal loss.

Eagles are iconic!! Very very good lots of great songs in their catalog!!!

There is a Fender bass, played by Randy Meisner., and he was definitely a member of the Eagles. The top of the double neck guitar is a 12 string guitar, the bottom is the usual 6 string. If you don't know the difference between a 6 and 12 string guitar, you can look it up. You must listen to the live version of "Take It To The Limit" - Meisner sings lead. He has an amazing falsetto voice. I wouldn't call this the best solo either, because it is a duo. I would call it the best guitar duet ever.

This entire album is worth a listen.

Thank you for your thoughtful attention to this iconic song. Walsh and Felder are truly awesome aren't they. You have a very authentic approach, it's not very common. I have to say makes me sad when you say you're stupid, you're a real and beautiful spirit. Rest in peace Glen Frey (oddly pronounced 'fry') ❤️

The eagles were amazing. MJ was too. Eagles had such a unique way of telling a story.

In the song when it says "warm smell of colitas rising up through the air", Colitas is the Spanish word for "little tails" and refers to the tips of marijuana leaves, which were said to be the most potent part of the plant. I lived in Texas for several years and I do believe that is a fact. Lol. The song brings back so many memories. Thank you for sharing.

Here is a link to “Take it to the Limit” with Randy Meisner singing (he was an original member of the Eagles ). There was a bunch of drama with Don Henley (drummer) and Randy. Every time this clip gets released Don Henley gets it pulled. This live version with Randy is better than the studio…and far superior than anyone trying to replicate Randy once he left the band.

Fun fact, Don Felder, the guy on the double neck guitar wrote Hotel Calfornia. Without him there'd be no Hotel California.

Very popular song = "Desperado" Under-appreciated Jam = "Those Shoes"

4 lead singers = Don Henley, Glen Frey, Joe Walsh, and Randy Meisner to be replaced eventually by Timothy B. Schmidt. Great harmonies and great lyrics that people remember for life! Greatest Hits 71-75 and Hotel California are top selling albums. Try more current live concert from Melbourne, Australia, they bring a very good horn section with them for that concert!

Check out " Life in the fast lane" Don Henley sings on that too. All these could sing..and did. Eagles were a phenomenal band. Love your channel. That's how we all learn. We get out of our comfort zone

Holy rabbit hole... So many killer songs. Also, Eagles songs lead to listening to Don Henley to Joe Walsh to Glenn Frey. Edit: Double neck allows you have 2 guitars. His version is a pretty common layout of 12 string and six string. Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmy Vaughn play the same double neck at once on "Pipeline", which is worth seeing.

I'm from Maryland too. Went to some great shows at Cap Center. For awhile in 90s it was called US Air Arena.

I'm so glad that I was able to see the Eagles in concert before we lost Glen Frey. It was magical. So many timeless songs with a classic sound that will never die. Sadly, Linda Ronstadt has MS and can no longer sing. She had such a beautiful voice.

The double neck guitar is a 12 - string guitar on the upper neck and a 6 string on the lower neck. Randy Meisner the bassist was absolutely a member of the band!

& it was live!!! Great reaction 😁 Please do more Eagles! Here's some songs to get you started; One of these nights, I can't tell you why, Best of my love, Long run, Heartache tonight, Wasted time, Lyin eyes, Tequila sunrise, Love will keep us alive, Life in the fast lane & sooo many more. Enjoy!😁🎶😁

Classic . What a great song And album. They were an amazing band. They had such talent. A gem from the past. Awesome 👍😎.

So now you've heard Hotel California live. You might want to check out the live version from their Hell Freezes Over tour from 1994. If nothing else, the sound quality is so much better.

Randy Meisner is on bass guitar, and he sings solo on the Eagles' hit song "Take it To the Limit." Don Felder (on double neck guitar) is the genius who wrote the guitar solo at the end.

Listen to the live performance of "Take It To The Limit".

randy meisner was not only a great bassist but sang lead on the song, Take it to the limit. he did not like the spotlight, and later left the group but his talent was amazing. Nice reaction to a classic song and performance. BTW, the eagles had lots of top 10 songs. Different, but all good.

Southern Rock as a lot of duel and triple lead players. They were great at it. It's awesome to see live

Don’t ever change. As someone who lived through The Eagles era and the Michael Jackson era recognized early both are the best of the best of their era. While you were praising The Eagles I could hear the Michael Jackson Thriller album playing in my mind. Sadly everything pretty much turned to commercial elevator music shit after. Thank God for the internet!!!

"Rock and Roll Hall of Fame", baby!

You should give "Love Will Keep Us Alive"...absolutely amazing vocals by Timothy B. Schmidt, the bass player.

Those great Eagles harmonies, iconic. Don Henley great singer but so were the others too. All so talented.

Pure talent! No such thing as auto-tune in 1976. Amazing!!

New on your reaction channel. My Dad used to play this album while I was in the crib. Lol. Don Henley has the most amazing voice. I'm 40 yrs old now & this is the anthem of my life. CaliBorn, CaliBred. ❤ I absolutely love the Eagles. You have a great energy. Thank you.

Double Neck Guitar - top is a 12 string electric guitar and the bottom is a six string electric guitar

This CD is playing 100% of my driving time...

A great song of theirs that show how well their harmonies are is Seven Bridges Road

Ringo Starr was about the first drummer to sing while playing. Also, Levon Helm from the Band, Phil Collins from Genesis, and Night Ranger's SISTER CHRISTIAN was written and sung by the drummer. Kiss had Peter Criss (drums) sing their biggest hit, "Beth".

They were phenomenal!! They all sang lead in different songs!! Amazing!!❤❤❤❤

If you get a chance to see them go for it, they still sound incredible. If you want more songs with guitars dueling check out Thin Lizzy Emerald or Black Rose, Lynyrd Skynyrd Freebird and Iron Maiden The Trouper and Aces high. The purpose of a double neck guitar is that you have two completely different sounds, usually a 12 string on top and a normal 6 string on the bottom.

this is about drug addiction, "you can check out , but won't leave" great song

They never really had a "lead" singer; although Henley and Frey had more than their fair share of songs...the other members also sang lead vocals. Can't go wrong with any song by these guys.

I once took a road trip with a niece, from San Antonio, Texas to Chicago, Illinois to attend a graduation ceremony. Both of us were big Eagles fans. I had the Biggest Hits Double Album that had 4 CDs. We listened to that album all the way up there and all the way back. Every song on all tracks were pure gold. Not a single one you would skip over.

Levon Helm was the lead singer and the drummer for The Band.He had a very distinctive voice .You should listen to The Weight or The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.

Don Henley was such a good singer that he branched out as a solo artist as a singer only. Let that sink in. And yes, most definitely there is a bass. The bass line MAKES this song!

Love your remarks about the double solo at the end, that's the Eagles❤🎉

So much talent.. One of the Best bands...

Another group that has the drummer as a lead singer is "Grand Funk Railroad". Their song "We're an American Band" is one that the drummer sings lead.

On the double necked guitar, one neck is a standard strung neck while the other is strung as a 12 string. The 12 string is strung like a normal six string but each string is paired with a light gauge string that are tuned all the same giving those six strings a unique tonal quality.... I think....lol. Take a look at the tuning head on the upper neck & you'll see twelve tuning pegs.

My very first concert was 1980 Eagles "The Long Run" tour. Roy Orbison opened for them! I didn't really know who he was, but I knew his music! I was 16, my sister and her husband took me as a birthday present. Can't think of a better gift!!

Just an absolutely classic performance from one of the greatest bands of all time. The guitar duet gets better every time you hear it. So many good songs to listen to, try my personal favourite "Peaceful Easy Feeling".

Linda Ronstadt is a music Goddess. Eagles are one of my favorite artists and have many great songs. Hope you're able to listen to more of their songs. It seems Henley is loosening the reins a little - it used to be difficult to react to them on YT.

You aren't stupid. You are learning and expanding your knowledge

You really want to get blown away??? Those Shoes by The Eagles

Another two guitarist solo is Lynard Skynard live at Oakland Coliseum.. the song is Free Bird.. the double neck guitar (this one anyway) is a 12 string on top and a regular 6 string on the bottom.. the 12 string gives you that ”jingle/jangle” sound at the start of the song.. and the bass player is part of the band, and does some lead singing at times too..

Born in 90’ and predominantly a hip hop head but this is my favourite song of all time

Joe Walsh (red bandana) is a legendary solo artist as well AND, I believe, the son-in-law of the legendary Ringo Starr of The Beatles!

Linda’s Band was One Trick Pony. They became the Eagles after they left her to go on their own. Thank God they did!

My first time watching this channel tonight and you did Linda Rondstadt, Boston and Janice Joplin and we're blown away by all on them lol! Love your enthusiasm! Keep looking for more suggestions there's lots!

"I don't think I ever saw two guitars share a solo." LYNYRD SKYNYRD'S "Free Bird" solo, hold my pick .... Ha!

I remember the night my steady took me to a park and put Hotel California on, saying it was an amazing thing. I didn't recognize it at 14, but I still remember and see the greatness there

Every member of the band, had la had a singer voice.

Don Henley (the drummer) sings lead on this, but they shared lead singing duties around, dependent upon the song. Randy Meisner played bass, Glen Frey played acoustic on this, but also played piano and various electric guitars - normally as rhythm. Jo Walsh and Don Felder shared lead guitar duties and frequently played lead breaks of each other as they do in Hotel California.

My Grandsons are 3 and 4. They know all of the names of The Eagles! This is their favorite song. They love Joe Walsh and his quirkiness and can pick out when Joe is soloing! Same with Steely Dan and Larry Carlton.

Yes, you were likely referring to Queen and Roger Taylor on the drums. However, he was not lead vocals, but was back up vocals for Freddie Mercury. he was a damn good singer himself😊 thank you for your reaction to a beautiful classic song. This album was the soundtrack of my parents life together. I lost them both last year to cancer. Brings back so many childhood memories.

The guitar solo where they duel and synchronize were the inspiration for many songs such as Dragon Force, fire and flames.

The guitarist in the red bandanna is Joe Walsh. He has some great songs as a solo artist. “Rocky Mountain Way”!!

They DO HAVE A BASS!!! I’m a bass player and have done this song many times and learned the bass part…

This is like a super group as they all had solo careers.

HC is so great that even my piano cover sounds good! 😉 Congrats for choosing it!! 👏👏👏👏

Check this out: Don Henley (drummer and vocalist); Janis Joplin; Meat Loaf; Stevie Ray Vaughan; all native Texans. And this list goes on.

This was before auto tune and live! These guy’s harmonies rocked! My favorite band.

Great reaction. Please do yourself a favor and watch Randy Mister perform Take It To Limit Live. So awesome. Take care

Not a solo, a duel. Semi-scripted and a challenge added to the co-player. Great music style.

Don Henley still sounds amazing 50 years later!!!

Double-necked guitar: The most common variation (and depicted in this performance) has 12 strings on the top guitar, and 6 strings on the bottom. Other variations might include a mandolin on top, or a bass guitar on top. But those are less common. :-)

Linda Rondstadt is such a voice.

Double neck guitar, two differently tuned guitars so you dont need to change them in the middle of a song. Bass player is part of the band. Love rhe Eagles❤

Love the Eagles, they have been one of my favorite bands since the 1970's. Linda Ronstadt, The Eagles, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, Crosby Still Nash & Young where all part of the music enclave called Laurel Canyon, California. Some of the best music of that era came out of Laurel Canyon. The lineup is Randy Meissner far left, then Glenn Fry, Don Felder and Joe Walsh.

That hypnotic, instantly sedating, instantly likeable opening guitar solo riff was created by Don Felder, the one on the white Gibson SG double neck, and has been voted one of the top 3 opening guitar riffs of the 20th century, if not #1. It's beyond classic...more like EPIC. A double neck guitar can be tuned to 2 different tunings, 2 different electric pickup settings or 2 different string types (one neck a 6 string and one neck a 12 string). Not for amateurs.

This band is called "Eagles" the other band was called "The Eagles." I have heard Eagles since they first dropped a record and always thought that there was a The in their name but I was mistaken. Eagles are one of the best rock bands ever and the guy with the red bandana on his head is Joe Walsh, one of my all time favorite guitar players. He was not an original member but joined a few years later. Joe had his own band "The James Gang" and also a successful solo career. It is hard to hear Eagle songs on KZfaq because most of their songs are blocked. For some reason.it seems that Don Henley (drums, vocal) wants to keep it that way. Phil Collins is another drummer who sang lead for most of his career (Genesis and solo career) but I don't know of any drummers who drum as hard and also sing, as Roger Taylor does. Often times Roger is singing the whole song through while beating the loving daylights out of his skins. There are a few types of double necked guitars and sometimes they are just 2 six-string guitars that are tuned differently and sometimes thay are a six-string guitar and a twelve-string guitar. I can't recall if I have seen one that was a bass and a six-string or not.

The Eagles Seven Bridges Road features all five voices singing in harmony. Typically a double neck has 12 strings and 6 strings. But they could be strung for different sounds as well. Rick Nelson from Cheap Trick had a five-neck guitar. Seen both the Eagles and Cheap Trick many times as they used to always play the Arizona State Fair.lol ✌️ 🤠🐂🏞️

The eagles were basically a super group. Almost all of the members were successful as individual artists as well as in this group

I'm sure someone commented on this already but in case not, the purpose for the double-neck is because the top neck is 12-string, played on the intro all the way to the beginning of the solo where he uses the bottom neck which is the 6-string.

They all can sing.
