Reassuring to read 😀

Hope so--the c-holders for the Eagles especially are notoriously restrictive, so good luck!

The performance on Hell Freezes Over is better than this one. This one is close to perfection the other one just is.

This same night Randy Meisner (their Bass player) sung "Take it to the Limit" and its probably the best version ever, of my fav. Eagles song.

I was going warn you about Don Henly and his 60 people crew scouring the internet. Even though the Eagles have great music I'm at the point of saying F the Eagles and Henley. I won't listen to them. I hope this stays up and is not taken down in the days, weeks or months later that I've seen happen on other channels

You really don't know who is write something so good that you listen all day?

That was Joe Walsh.

@@jamesrader3329 no way….

Yep. @@dudemcduderson6252

Well, I think if he keeps at it, he might just be able to make it someday.😉

he was bad on drugs when they reunited.gave it up just to be part of the band again. he said it saved his life

😍

I actually covered this song myself and the beat to this song isn't that bad when it comes to the singing

Levon Helm said the key is to start a vocal phrase when you aren't hitting anything :)

I’m also a drummer who’s been playing for many decades, I can play this song but if I was tasked with singing it that would turn into a train wreck, besides I have a crappy singing voice . Ha ! Bless you guys who can do it. I’ll sing along here & there but to fully do the entire song Yikes ! His brain juice and coronation is working overtime. Keep playing guys

Phil Collins. Man never misses a beat when singing and drumming, simply incredible

As a former drummer I sang also & it wasnt really that hard for me as it felt so natural doing 4-5 things at once & it helps being ambidextrous ✌💖☮

Ride on. One of the greatest songs of all times. ✌Peace❤

Yes, Led Zepplin live version Stairway to Heaven Jimmy Page has a great solo on the 12 string. My first exposure was the Byrds, Mr Tamborine Man, Roger McGuinn, love the sound!

I believe, in this case, he had a capo on the top neck which he played at the beginning of the song, and the rest of the song was played on the bottom neck.

That guitar is needed since the song changes keys 7 times!

​@@briankerr2628 if you listen or look at the video you can see he uses both necks during the entire song not just the intro

Right. He plays the intro and more acoustic parts on the top neck 12 string and the distorted parts and solo on the bottom neck 6 strings

Speaking of going solo, after their break-up they all had pretty good solo careers, particularly Don Henley (the singer/drummer).

This is what California sounded like in the 1970’s they are the sound of California

My favorite guitar solos of all time is in this order is Hotel California and Michael Jackson's Beat it.😊

I saw the Eagles (with Glenn Frey's son Deacon in his place) play the whole album at Madison Square Garden right before Covid. Was a magical night.

Absolute facts

So much 🔥 !

Life's Been Good.....

hey Frankfurt, not far from where I was born 10 years earlier

Never had the pleasure of seeing The Eagles live. But I did see Joe Walsh solo on The Confessor tour opening for Foreigner. Amazing show!

Saw them 3 times and was amazed each time

WHAT!? I did not know this but I love Vince Gill, and I love the Eagles, sooo.... 💖

I saw them with Deacon Frey sitting in for his dad at the Hotel California album tour in early 2020 before Covid hit. Was a magical night.

so is don felder.

@@ronaldalagia9211 Agreed! :)

Fielder was the true genius between him and Walsh. While Walsh ended up more famous I’d say it’s pretty unanimous that people consider Felder to be the better player between the two

I have always been a rebel! :) Both men are. of course, fabulous guitar players.@@koleplay6194

l agree also the eagles and fleetwood mac are 2 of my favorites but my top favorite rock band is KISS. first time l heard them was 1977 l was in 8th grade at a friends house in minnesota he showed me the record and played 100,000 years l was blown away.

"The music was written by Don Felder and Don Henley".....err, try Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pa2mqNto3JepkWg.htmlsi=99MA0F99ky5IWeez

Apparently He'll froze over 😅

I did something similar with the song Radar Love. Trooper asked me why I was in such a rush. I pointed at the radio and said Radar Love. He nodded and said just try to keep it under the limit next time.

@@dvsreed Cool. Found out the trooper that got me only lasted a few months due to a number of reasons.

Glenn Frey. Come on man.

Randy Meisner, original bass player just passed. 7-26-23 R. I. P.

Yes it was!

Thank you! Really appreciate that!

The whole album dealt with the infinite ability that humans have to F*** up. The last resort is the perfect end and so relevant today.

@@rogerstarkey5390 So true. I'm tempted to say The Last Resort is my favorite Eagles song, but how can you have just 1 favorite? They're all masterpieces in their own right.

>>>Purity, Tranquility, Balance, >>> In 1977, Eagles possessed NONE of those things. They were absolutely coked-up out of their heads. I lived in Santa Barbara back then, and my girlfriends Mom was one of their drug counselors. She would get calls at all hours of the night from them or their management to go to wherever they were to try to intervene.

@@ruserious9577 I was talking about the song, actually.

Our pleasure!

Mine is Don Henley 🤫 the drums and singer as you now !

Rocky Mountain Way is a great song, one of my favorites by him.

Yup. It's definitely coming.

Yeah, Don Henley has a team of copyright attorneys out for blood.

​@Precocious Curmudgeon Yea, they are one of many complain about reactors not paying for fees...I understand, but reactors trying their best to edit their videos

That's because the Eagles have been through copyright lawsuits before and so Don Henley is very protective of their music!!🎵🎼🎶🥁🎤🎙🎸🎹🔥🔥🔥

Yep! You've been warned.

I'll second Sultans of Swing along with Money for Nothing

If you do Sultans of Swing do the live Alchemy one it's the greatest

@@carolynmorrissey1630 I'll have to check that one out myself... I've never listened to the Alchemy album.

@doncox6920 I Promise you won't regret it

Don, Glenn, Bernie and Randy were all veterans of different bands and werent even a band together until they were selected to back up Linda Ronstadt.

chrisbutler5975. No it's just henley. He's not making his $0.02 cents off of everything. IMO Joe Walsh could most likely care less.

Only a matter of time it will be deleted.

I remember reading someone say “Walsh’s & Felder’s wives should be jealous after that.” They we’re definitely in synch.

Far from the "American Beatles". Give me a break. The Beatles revolutionized pop/rock music. The Eagles released a few good albums and have a handful of great tunes. They took CSNYs and Poco's country rock and slicked it up LA style. Nowhere close.

x2

Maybe... but Pink Floyd would get my vote.

I guess you never heard of Fleetwood Mac

Queen

@@whitebeardInn I would also put Led Zeppelin above the Eagles. Although the Eagles are one of the best American bands.

@@richardjimenez2739 A good option as well. They aren't bigger than the Eagles though. The Beatles and Queen probably have em beat, but it ain't Fleetwood Mac.

I came on here to say the same thing. Eagles are rabid with banning their material on KZfaq. Reactions, beware!

Yes, this one is a perfect rendition and there is another one out there. That’s my favorite song of theirs that gets blocked, blocked and blocked. I can’t stand on Henley for that. I also blame Glenn Frey before he died. It’s just plain greed. But I do love their music the one I’d love you to hear & react to is Take It To The Limit, live and I believe the same concert. Bass player, Randy Meisner plays and sings this song, but he and the two founders Henley & Frey didn’t get along and shortly after the perfect concert I’m talking about, Randy and Glen Frey came to physical blows, and Randy left. Randy was very shy and didn’t like the spotlight. take it to the limit was the usual encore, and he was afraid he could not hit the high notes that night. Frey kept on him and on him until they physically fought and Randy not long after 😢. Noone can sing it like Randy Meisner did. Joe Walsh is also a favorite because he’s such a cut up & so talented! joe is the one in the bandanna and Randy Meisner, my favorite because he is so humble, talented and kind is in this video too, on the far left with the long dark hair. If you can find take it to the limit live from i think this same concert, Randy will be wearing a light plaid shirt.Please try to do it. It’s strong with blocking but it’s even a more perfect song than this one played in concert. I just want so many people to know about that song and Randy’s beautiful voice so I try to get as many people as I can to react to it Love your channel!

She's a stunner!

Nope sorry; have to correct the record here. It was solely Don Felder who wrote the music for this song. It's well documented in their 3hr documentary called History of The Eagles, and on his tutorial video here where he teaches you how to play HC in B Minor. Henley came up with the lyrics and Glen Frey had nothing to do with the creation of this song. Here's proof right here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abF5h5uklqfYkqs.html

@@dunhill1 Here's what it says on Wikipedia: A demo of the instrumental was developed by Don Felder[12][13] in a rented house on Malibu Beach. He recorded the basic tracks with a Rhythm Ace drum machine and added a 12 string guitar on a four-track recording deck in his spare bedroom, then mixed in a bassline, and gave Don Henley and Glenn Frey each a copy of the recording.[14] Felder, who met the Eagles through his high school bandmate Bernie Leadon, said that Leadon advised him to make tapes of songs he wrote for the band so that other band members like Henley, whose forte is in writing lyrics, might work with him on finishing the songs they liked.[15] The demos he made were always instrumental, and on every album project he would submit 15 or 16 ideas. The demo he made for "Hotel California" showed influences from Latin and reggae music, and it grabbed the attention of Henley who said he liked the song that "sounds like a Mexican reggae or Bolero",[15] which gave the song its first working title, "Mexican Reggae".[16] Record World said that "a mild reggae flavor pervades the tune."[17] Frey and Henley were both interested in the tune after hearing the demo, and discussed the concept for the lyrics. In 2008, Felder described the writing of the lyrics: Don Henley and Glenn wrote most of the words. All of us kind of drove into L.A. at night. Nobody was from California, and if you drive into L.A. at night ... you can just see this glow on the horizon of lights, and the images that start running through your head of Hollywood and all the dreams that you have, and so it was kind of about that ... what we started writing the song about.[18] ======= End Wikipedia quote ======= So according to Wikipedia (which quotes Don Felder on the subject), the music was done by Felder and the lyrics done by Henley/Frey. Which is what I said in my original comment.

@@BobKovacs You just forgot to give credit to Don Felder for writing the MUSIC; we do know that Henley put lyrics to Felder's chord progressions. That's all. We wouldn't have Hotel California without both Felder and Henley. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

@@dunhill1 Read my original comment again... I said that Felder did the music. We're on the same page, sorta.
