Cue the Eagles jokes

I'm coming out of the closet! I've bit my tongue for too long. Damn the torpedoes!

I like the Eagles. Listened to 'em plenty in the '70s growing up. Their output in the '70s was strong. Not crazy about any album after Hotel California but there were gems found on every album through that great album. Sure they didn't move or get emotionally demonstrative onstage they just played exceptionally well, not unlike a young Mick Taylor in that regard. They were adept at both Rock and Country Rock.

The entire band was talented and could both play and sing well. Every member could sing well! Every member was an exceptional musician. This is true regardless of the era.

I saw them here in Roanoke in the late '70s and I was lucky enough to hear 'Take It To The Limit', with Randy Meisner hitting those long high notes. I found out recently on their documentary there were nights he refused to sing that song. Which seemed to drive Glen Frey crazy. Frey wanted it added to the setlist every night, and gave Randy hell on the nights he refused to do it. But Randy knew when he could nail those high notes and when he could not. It was a strain on his voice and he could not do it justice each and every night. As good as this performance is of the song on Youtube, I swear he held that long note longer and his voice was stronger the night I seen them. It gave me chills.

Let the rock throwing begin Ronnie! lol
