Now, me, I prefer thaeir first four albums (the "country rock era") to their later work and feel that "The Long Run" is a pretty terrible album, but to each their own. Randy Meiner was a major part of the Eagles sound. This is purely personal, but I also have to take some slight issue with the description of this line up as being the "five most important band members". It also includes Jackson Browne singing the possibly best version of "Your Bright Baby Blues". Obviously, it's much more country rock-ish than their later stuff. It has a lot of their good stuff from their first three albums, including versions of Tewnty-One, Midnight Flyer and Doolin-Dalton that arguably best their studio counterparts. Having just gotten back again in the Eagles, if you want to go a bit deeper than only the hits, you should check out the Eagles' Appearance at Don Kirshner's rock concert. Chances are it's from the first night, and is a screenshot from the video of that show. The cover art photo comes from the two nights the band played their MTV Unplugged concerts. They go back to rocking with electric instruments for the second half, but even that is different due to the inclusion of a full orchestra. The first portion of it is in acoustic format, mostly. And it's not just a carbon copy of their studio recordings. It was recorded right at the tail end of their main hit making era, with the five most important band members (from the "Long Run" era) still in the band and relatively young and vital. In my opinion, if you want just one live Eagles recording, this is the one to get. Additionally, I separated all the talking between songs onto their own tracks and usually upped the volume on those some. There also were false starts to two of the songs. Because this was being recorded to potentially be shown on TV, the band wanted to get everything just right, so there were longer delays than usual between songs. One thing I did was cut out a lot of dead air between songs. Ironically, given what I just said about tinkering, I did some editing myself - but not of the music. (But the band is known for being perfectionist, so I suppose the tinkering isn't that surprising.) Even the live tracks on "Hell Freezes Over" apparently had a lot of tweaking and overdubbing done to them. This concert has those same four new songs ("Get Over It," "Love Will Keep Us Alive," "The Girl from Yesterday," and "Learn to Be Still"), but in live versions. As mentioned above, that album had the four studio tracks as well. There are 22 songs here, compared to 11 live songs on that album. What's even better though is that this is a full concert, lasting three minutes shy of two hours, whereas "Hell Freezes Over" only includes about 60 minutes of live music. Clearly, this was professionally recorded as part of a plan to make the "Hell Freezes Over" album, but the other night was chosen instead. Even though it's a bootleg, the sound is so good that sometimes you can hear the squeaking of fingers sliding on the guitar strings. If you're an Eagles fan, you definitely will want to hear this.įirst off, I have to point out the incredible sound quality. This is actually better than the "Hell Freezes Over" in several ways I will explain. But the very next night they did a second MTV Unplugged show, and this is that. It went on to sell millions and millions of copies. They later released it as the album "Hell Freezes Over" with four additional studio tracks. In short, in 1994, the Eagles got back together after 14 years and recorded a concert for MTV Unplugged. ![]() I've immediately fixed it up so I can share it. I never knew it existed until I luckily stumbled upon it yesterday. ![]()
