We had this video up previously. We took it down beacuse many of you warned me how many other channels got taken down with this reaction. I've seen more reactions go up so I wanted to risk it again just because it was such a good moment. This was a video we made explaining why we took it down before. Anyway, if this gets us copyright struck... whoops! ruclips.net/video/ylM39B8UsMs/видео.html
Add some goosebumps by watching "Take It To The Limit" from this concert. Sang by bassist Randy Miesner. It's an outstanding performance. Great reaction sir.🤘😎❤
The price of living in the best era for popular music is being old now. At 72, I believe it was well worth it. There was a time the music industry hired musicians, not dancers they passed off as musicians with computers. Most musicians also wrote their own songs. Today a handful of writers write the songs for many musicians. We old guys love watching younger generations appreciate the music we grew up with. Thank you.
Agreed, overheard younger generation in shock, they play more than 1 instrument & they sing? How is that possible? It's possible because they're musicians, singer/songwriters. Confirmed by grandson. You always have the best music, how do you do that? Be over 70 years old & know what good music sounds like, that's how.
With every passing year, I appreciate growing up in the 60's, 70's, and 80's more. We really were spoiled for good music of every genre...rock, pop, motown, country, folk, etc. Just turn on the radio any day (of any year) and you would hear iconic songs from artists that had genuine talent coupled with old-time professionalism. And the concerts...damn. Fun times.
I am an old hippie. The music from 1965 through 1985 defined my country, my generation, and the entirety of western civilization. It tells my generation's story of war and peace, of submission and resistance. The music tells our story with tears and with smiles...but never with an apology! No other generation's legacy of music can do this. I enjoy watching the generations following mine discover my music. Yes, MY music. Every member of my generation is a part owner of this era of musical, mystical magic. As we used to say between tokes, "This is some good stuff, man!" :) Be well all, Duke
Best part is when one of the grand kids comes over and tells you that you've got to listen to a track they've discovered and you show them the original album. I spend hours with them doing deep dives, love it.
I am SO grateful for your attentive and intuitive reaction. It makes me feel that the craft and the intricacy that is this artistic presentation was respected by you. The Goosebumps you got or Goosebumps we old folk feel every time we watch this show. That duet was masterful. And it moved you. And that connected with our hearts out here in your audience. You didn't rush through to just get a reaction uploaded. We shared you experiencing this with such depth of feeling and enjoyment of the artistry that was what you were watching. So thank you thank you thank you so much
Eagles was one of the first "super bands". Every member of the band, could play instruments with authority, and could sing lead as well. Many went on to have solo careers. Amazing.
@@Its_me_Deebz Thank you for being one of the only people NOT calling them the Eagles!!!!! I cringe Everytime I see it, it's like saying the Chicago or the Heart!!!!! I don't understand why people have such a hard time accepting their name has no THE. 👍👍👍
@NancyMoran-r3b Super groups are bands comprised of established musicians in their own right, famous solo artists or members of current or past successful bands. Traveling Wilburys - Super group. Velvet Revolver - super group. Temple of the Dog - super group. A band is not by definition a super group because they are "super" or because in the future, members go on to successful careers, it's about the members' past resume. Eagles are awesome, but NOT a super group. Studio musicians a super group does not make. Don't believe me? look up the definition. Talent doesn't qualify as a super group. All members being singers, instrument players & writers is not rare, but it's talent. A talented group, no doubt. Super group? No.
Now you understand why they were once the best band in the USA! One of their guitarists and songwriters was Glenn Frey, who sadly passed away in 2016. RIP, Glenn.
I lived across the street from the Frey's in Royal Oak Michigan. I used to listen to Glenn play his guitar in the back yard because his mom needed some peace and quiet in the house.
I'm 70. Graduated in 1973. Shoe box full of ticket stubs from dozens of concerts. The music was so good, because so many took music lessons instead of sports... Their lessons on piano, violin, guitar, drums, poetic lyrics all PAID OFF!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🤑🤑
I'm also Class of '73, and a live music addict. I saw the Eagles at the El Paso Civic Center back in the day. They were great then, and still are. IMHO the best band the US has ever produced.
EAGLES are one of the best bands ever and absolutely perfect live. Everyone could sing and play multiple instruments and the harmony was always on point. Check out more from this concert “Lyin Eyes”, “Take it to the Limit” and more. Also great “I Can't Tell You Why (Official Video)”
Once again - we knew it was coming. 🤣 You were already so impressed with the guitar work and you weren't even close to the dueling solos from Felder and Walsh that is the finale. Love to see your mouth drop open. 😲 So cool. 😎 YES WE HAD THE BEST MUSIC!!
"I feel like we just don't write music like we used to." Because we don't. Nothing is like the 1960s and 1970s for music. Some y/t reactors resist that truth for a while, but eventually, they all come around to the truth of the matter. And when they do, we're always glad to see them, and listen to some great tunes together 👍😂
Take it to the Limit has been my all time favorite song, and in some ways the soundtrack of my life, since the very first time I heard it, riding in the back of my moms station wagon with my two best friends. Still my two best friends, moms still kicking at 89, and it’s still my favorite song! Heard it live at Eagles converts twice in my life.
I grew up during this time. I think my generation got so spoiled and got used to hearing so much great, iconic music that we grew to expect it all the time. Looking back, we didn't realize how blessed we truly were to grow up during this time in music history.
My friend, I was there at Largo. My late husband and I were gifted tickets to the show as a wedding gift! 25 rows back center seats. I won't lie, it smelled a little like weed... Well a lot like weed. One of the most epic performances ever!
Oh wow... That would have been an amazing experience. So jealous... And I used to smoke weed.... I still do, but i used to too. The late great Mitch Hedberg
Sebs I come in here for the music cuz I’m 71 and it’s the music I grew up with but my real joy comes from watching your reaction …love you so much bro❤
The other thing you need to know about the Eagles is that Glenn Frey and Don Henley who are both founding members, were Linda Ronstadt’s back up band before they started the Eagles. She is the one who encouraged them to go into their own band.
I do not know what it is about this song but I've loved it for decades. It's haunting, beautiful, hypnotic, and spooky. I could listen to that closing guitar harmony on repeat for days.
I graduated high school in 1978 (I'll let you do the math). I love watching the younger generations hear 'our' music and watching your reactions! I"m glad you enjoyed it.
Wikipedia says, "Hotel California" is a song by American rock band Eagles, released as the second single of their album of the same name on February 22, 1977.[6] The song was written by Don Felder (music), Don Henley, and Glenn Frey (lyrics), featuring Henley on lead vocals and concluding with an iconic 2 minute and 12 seconds long electric guitar solo performed by Felder with a Gibson Les Paul Gibson EDS-1275 double neck and Joe Walsh with a Fender Telecaster, in which they take turns playing the lead before harmonizing and playing arpeggios together towards the fade-out.[7]
I have a music room and collect vinyl, my Gkids and their friends like to bring over albums to convince me that the newer music is great, I listen, but the deal is they have to listen to one of mine. I remember when my GDaughter friend pulled Led Zeppilin 4 and asked me to play it. They loved it. Made my hert ache for what they missed and what we didnt.
This is one of the greatest songs of the classic rock era. Has to be in the Top 5, along with Stairway to Heaven, something by Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here or Comfortably Numb), something by the Beatles (maybe Hey Jude), and something by the Rolling Stones, maybe 'You Can't Always Get What you Want' (from Let it Bleed, 1969). And we still need to make room for something by The Doors (L.A. Woman, Riders on the Storm, Hello I Love You), and something from Bob Dylan (and the Band), and from The Who. And Jimi Hendrix. And there are certainly others who could be competing for a Top 5 of all time. So *Hotel California* is competing with the very best of the best era music has ever had 👍😎
I'm so happy you are reacting to the REAL rock n roll! I'm 63 and am proud and elated that I grew up with 60's, 70's, and 80's music! No gimmics just raw talent and beautiful, meaningful lyrics! Thanks for sharing and thanks for embracing our music! You can't go wrong with any Eagles! Great reaction!😊❤
The Eagles: 50+ years later, and I still listen to them almost every single day. Glad you have finally found them and can't wait to see how you react to more of their amazing music, because you have barely scratched the surface!
I was born in 1960. I grew up through the greatest yrs of music, ever. Especially the rock-n-roll bands of the 1960s, 1970s, and through about 1987 or 1988. Yeah Man, with your guitar ability you would have fit right in back in the day. Great reaction Bro...👌👌👍👍
The red-bandana'd guitarist is Joe Walsh &, solo later, his hit: "Life's Been Good" (To Me So Far;) is a complexly guitars- driven (+🤔;) & cleverly amusing song!
Take it from a boomer! Wonder years. The musical technique they used was layering as the song progresses. The 70s were musically rich to say the least. Thanks . Good review man
Elvis, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and the Eagles…the gods of 50’s, 60’s, 70’s! There will never be another 3 decades of music like those tears? 😎🙏✝️❤️🇺🇸
Please dont feel alone my musician friend…I have been watching music video reaction videos for at least five years now and if i had a dime for every young fella or gal like you who wished they were alive during the 60’s 70’s and even 80’s music i would have a lot of money…I am very grateful to be 64n and I was 16 at the time of this video and saw the Eagles live and it to this day was one of the best concerts i have ever been to.
Performances like this are why the Eagles are my all-time favorite band, Harmony, music you can dance to, music you can sing along with, music that has lasted 50 years. Thank you for your reaction to this masterpiece.
I grew up listening to the Eagles and have always loved their harmony (me coming from a background of being in church choirs wherever we attended church and in choir through high school)... their talent with physical musical instruments as well as their natural voices always amazes me.
You've been taking me back to being a teenager again and having SO MANY fantastic bands to live with! 😁 I'm 74 now and wouldn't change my age for any reason! 😍 Life was golden then cause these bands persisted making fantastic music all the way through my 20's and into my 30's! Life was good then, well for those that hadn't been drafted to fight in Viet Nam. 😫. I actually joined the Women's Army Corp in 72 and there was,so much great music then (btw, check out Motown bands from the same era, Earth Wind and Fire, Marvin Gaye etc.) ❤😊
Artists in the 60's, 70's and even the 80's lived for the music. Music set their spirits free and they understood that. Now it's just for the money. That's the difference. Music was truly everything to them, heart, spirit and soul.
The guy on the twelve string is Don Felder-so underrated and so smooth and played so many awesome riffs for the Eagles. Felder was awesome and so so underrated.
Happy to be in my 70s and have such great memories about the music I loved so much in the 60s and 70s. We had THE BEST . Thanks for a great reaction. 👏👏👏🥰
I was a vocalist/rhythm guitarist for rock/metal bands in the 80's. We didn't have autotune and crazy guitar effects of today. Didn't have RUclips to teach us how to play stuff. We learned alot by ear and experimentation. We had to trust each other and really know what each other could do and when we would do it. Alot of feel.
You may have already reacted, but Take It To The Limit from this same concert is fantastic...Randy Meisner never liked being the center of attention but he blows that song out of the stadium!
Noooooobody has a voice like Don Henley.... This song is as much a part of me as my own heartbeat... I was 19- 20 in 1977... My little sister turned me onto this album. She died a month ago of breast cancer.... So this has many many memories.... Thanks Seb for sharing. Look up a tune called Leather and Lace with Don Henley and Stevie Nicks. Unbelievable voices.... Blessed be....
I am so glad that I grew up in that era and I remember exactly where I was when that song came out. I had graduated high school in 1975 and this came out in 76. That was before video so you interpreted the song with a vision of the whole thing playing out in your mind, which is exactly what I did.❤
My family of five drove in a pickup truck with a camper top, along with two other vehicles [another family of four and a red VW camper van with four college students (also known as the hippy van)]. We drove to Alaska from Indiana on a 3 month journey of love and happiness and camping and bears and moose and caribou. We kids, got to take turns riding in the van with the cool kids and one of the eight track tapes was the just released Eagles Greatest Hits (blue eagle cover) and Steve Miller Band. This groups sound is so full of memories its like a glass if wine and reading a diary. I was so blessed to have this music as a soundtrack for my youth. All that said Hotel California wasn’t on that eight track, but it was on the top 40 by Casey Kassim that summer so I heard it that summer too. Good times, long hair, and bell bottoms.
I've seen a ton of reactors react to this song and you're the first one I thought appreciated enough how amazing the guitar duet at the end was. There is a great documentary on the Eagles and they interviewed one of the engineers who was working in the booth when they recorded Hotel California. He basically said that its was totally apparent, even at the time, that the Don Feder/Joe Walsh duelling solos was magic and historic.
Got to see the History of the Eagles tour 10 years ago. Started out from the beginning with Frey and Hendley sitting on a couple of small amps and starting with their first few songs. Other members of the band gradually joined them for the rest of the basically acoustic set. After a one hour set they took an intermission and returned with the full band and backups and a large fully equipped stage and got things rolling with Life In The Fast Lane. Probably ranks at the top of my Best Concerts list. Pretty sure this was the last tour before Glenn passed.
The Eagles said this was there take on life in the music business in California and Hollywood at the time. I lived in these times, and we drove the coolest cars, dated the most fantastic girls, and had the best music ever made on our radios. Great channel Sebs.
Ridiculously good live. Lucky enough to see them in the UK in 2001 and 2008. Very very special nights. They were, without doubt, one of the best live bands that America has produced.
Welcome to our world. Those of us who grew up in this era. Are truly the beholders of the best of the best. The Strats The Tele Casters and The Les Paul Masters!
The music created in the 20th century from around 1945-1995 and all of its genres from big band , jazz, blues,ska reggae, country, R&B,R&R ,Soul, Folk, heavy metal, progressive rock, jazz fusion,singer-songwriter, pop, disco, punk, new wave,EDM, rap, hip hop, grunge, alternative rock, will never be repeated.
I like the idea that the song is about being Famous. Once you have it you can’t get away from it, (“checkout any time you like but you can never leave”). Fame itself is the ‘Beast’ referred to.
My dad went to his first concert, ever, at the age of 76, to see the Eagles, VIP seats. He had the time of his life. He has been an Eagles fan as long as I can remember. I have seen them once, and they are amazing! Love watching overs enjoy music I have loved since a kid. Thanks for the reaction! They have an amazing catalog...worth going down that rabbit hole for sure!!
I saw them live last year in Baltimore. Bucket list concert. Flawless performance. If you can't afford front row sit near the soundboard. It was like listening to your favorite live album.
I saw them a handful of times in the 70s and 80s. Each concert was sheer perfection from start to finish. It was like watching a studio quality performance from 20-30 yards away! The last time I saw them in the late 70s/early 80s it cost like $7.50 to $8.00 to get in. Those were the best of times for sure, Sebs!!
My favorite Eagles song. That guitar duet gets me everytime! The Eagles are one of the few bands who sound as good live to me as they do on their albums.
Watching you react to this classic makes me feel very happy to see you appreciate the true talent. I guess I take this for granted growing up with this and living the greatness of those times. I'll apologize now for saying this. But todays music can't hold a candle to the music of this era . Keep searching and enjoying what we lived back then.
These guys are definitely one of the top rock and roll bands of the last SEVERAL decades. Every one of them had very successful music careers after the hotel California, and rightfully so! They're all very accomplished musicians.
I'm 63', and I can say that we had the best music, actual musicians, true vocalists. There are some great musicians today, but the passion just seems missing in music today! PS, Absolutely love your reaction's!!!!! 👍😍
I think your interpretation of the song's meaning is spot on. I am continually impressed with the depth you bring to your reactions to the times, the places, and the people that created all these masterpieces.
Today's youth doesn't demand talented musicians anymore. Back then, bands were made of talented folks working together to compose songs. When you went to a concert and the whole band was locked in, you could just feel it.
Three of the four original members of the Eagles -- Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Bernie Leadon -- started as backup singers for Linda Ronstadt. She told them they were too good to waste their lives as backup singers and urged them to start their own band. Thank you, thank you, thank you, sweet Linda!
it was said by the band in one interview at one time that it was ' a journey from innocence to experience......' great review nothing today comes even close to the talent and to the craft with the sweat and tears put into music of the time.....
No metronome, no in-ear monitors. Just badass talent. Also, it is nice to have a large band in order to get the studio sound. Don Henley (drummer) also fronted the band as one of three/four singers. The Eagles were infamous for humanizing that blew people away. Great song.

Please listen to "Wasted Time" by the Eagles.

Absolutely iconic song. Felder is a supremely gifted guitarist and songwriter. He and Joe Walsh were magic together.
One of the greatest guitar duets ever if not the greatest. It was sheer genius putting Don Felder and Joe Walsh together.
According to Walsh, that guitar duel outro was basically Walsh and Felder trying to outdo each other. Pure ad-lib and loving what they did.
Jeffbrowning4684. and yet it still goes down in hx as one of the greatest guitar duets ever…. amazing! Gotta love Walsh!!
Now you understand why they were once the best band in the USA! One of their guitarists and songwriters was Glenn Frey, who sadly passed away in 2016. RIP, Glenn.
Rest in Peace Glenn. You are so missed ❤

*are. They still are one of the best ever. I saw them live last year and it was flawless.

Blows my mind when people say never heard of the Eagles. Must mean I'm getting old. My favorite band, been to many of their concerts.

I love it when younger people experience music from when I was in high school. 60's and 70's music was special.
I have a music room and collect vinyl, my Gkids and their friends like to bring over albums to convince me that the newer music is great, I listen, but the deal is they have to listen to one of mine. I remember when my GDaughter friend pulled Led Zeppilin 4 and asked me to play it. They loved it. Made my hert ache for what they missed and what we didnt.
@robwetli6720 nice
This is one of the greatest songs of the classic rock era. Has to be in the Top 5, along with Stairway to Heaven, something by Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here or Comfortably Numb), something by the Beatles (maybe Hey Jude), and something by the Rolling Stones, maybe 'You Can't Always Get What you Want' (from Let it Bleed, 1969).
And we still need to make room for something by The Doors (L.A. Woman, Riders on the Storm, Hello I Love You), and something from Bob Dylan (and the Band), and from The Who.
And Jimi Hendrix.
And there are certainly others who could be competing for a Top 5 of all time. So *Hotel California* is competing with the very best of the best era music has ever had 👍😎
this is one of the classic best of all times
I'm so happy you are reacting to the REAL rock n roll! I'm 63 and am proud and elated that I grew up with 60's, 70's, and 80's music! No gimmics just raw talent and beautiful, meaningful lyrics! Thanks for sharing and thanks for embracing our music! You can't go wrong with any Eagles! Great reaction!😊❤
A great group of artists! You can't go wrong with this band!
They have always been one of the best bands ever. This was such an outstanding performance
The Eagles: 50+ years later, and I still listen to them almost every single day. Glad you have finally found them and can't wait to see how you react to more of their amazing music, because you have barely scratched the surface!
I was born in 1960. I grew up through the greatest yrs of music, ever.
Especially the rock-n-roll bands of the 1960s, 1970s, and through about
1987 or 1988. Yeah Man, with your guitar ability you would have fit
right in back in the day. Great reaction Bro...👌👌👍👍
So was i in NOV. I Just turned 64 ,Us 70s brats where over spoiled 4 sure
@@theodoreritola7641 I was in September....
Sweeeeeet .
That's the cool of the 70's. No filters, no games. Just great voices, that's my Era, glad you liked the music.
The precision required for Joe & Don to harmonise the guitars perfectly like that is next level. Chills every time!
Cheers Sebs.
This is a clinic on harmony both voice and guitars.
So much talent in one band should be illegal.
thanks
Never heard any other player make this particular sound. The tone and the style are wonderfully and beautifully unique.
The red-bandana'd guitarist is Joe Walsh &, solo later, his hit: "Life's Been Good"
(To Me So Far;) is a complexly guitars- driven (+🤔;) & cleverly amusing song!
Take it from a boomer! Wonder years. The musical technique they used was layering as the song progresses. The 70s were musically rich to say the least. Thanks . Good review man
Eagles, "Seven Bridges Road" live is MAGICAL.
Love the eagles. It is so fun watching you hear them.
R.I.P. Glenn Frey
Elvis, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and the Eagles…the gods of 50’s, 60’s, 70’s! There will never be another 3 decades of music like those tears? 😎🙏✝️❤️🇺🇸
Please dont feel alone my musician friend…I have been watching music video reaction videos for at least five years now and if i had a dime for every young fella or gal like you who wished they were alive during the 60’s 70’s and even 80’s music i would have a lot of money…I am very grateful to be 64n and I was 16 at the time of this video and saw the Eagles live and it to this day was one of the best concerts i have ever been to.
Performances like this are why the Eagles are my all-time favorite band, Harmony, music you can dance to, music you can sing along with, music that has lasted 50 years. Thank you for your reaction to this masterpiece.
Three guitars, four good singers, they had it all!!👍🏼
Bare in mind that this was before the digital age, when musicianship was king!
I Can’t Tell You Why by The Eagles. AMAZING!!
I grew up listening to the Eagles and have always loved their harmony (me coming from a background of being in church choirs wherever we attended church and in choir through high school)... their talent with physical musical instruments as well as their natural voices always amazes me.
You've been taking me back to being a teenager again and having SO MANY fantastic bands to live with! 😁 I'm 74 now and wouldn't change my age for any reason! 😍 Life was golden then cause these bands persisted making fantastic music all the way through my 20's and into my 30's! Life was good then, well for those that hadn't been drafted to fight in Viet Nam. 😫. I actually joined the Women's Army Corp in 72 and there was,so much great music then (btw, check out Motown bands from the same era, Earth Wind and Fire, Marvin Gaye etc.) ❤😊
Artists in the 60's, 70's and even the 80's lived for the music. Music set their spirits free and they understood that. Now it's just for the money. That's the difference. Music was truly everything to them, heart, spirit and soul.
A live performance where everything is just perfect. It gives me chills as well.
The guy on the twelve string is Don Felder-so underrated and so smooth and played so many awesome riffs for the Eagles. Felder was awesome and so so underrated.
Happy to be in my 70s and have such great memories about the music I loved so much in the 60s and 70s. We had THE BEST . Thanks for a great reaction. 👏👏👏🥰
I was a vocalist/rhythm guitarist for rock/metal bands in the 80's. We didn't have autotune and crazy guitar effects of today. Didn't have RUclips to teach us how to play stuff. We learned alot by ear and experimentation. We had to trust each other and really know what each other could do and when we would do it. Alot of feel.
You may have already reacted, but Take It To The Limit from this same concert is fantastic...Randy Meisner never liked being the center of attention but he blows that song out of the stadium!
Noooooobody has a voice like Don Henley....
This song is as much a part of me as my own heartbeat... I was 19- 20 in 1977... My little sister turned me onto this album. She died a month ago of breast cancer....
So this has many many memories....
Thanks Seb for sharing. Look up a tune called Leather and Lace with Don Henley and Stevie Nicks. Unbelievable voices....
Blessed be....
Eagles are in my top 5 best ever bands. Individually they were solo superstar material, but together they were magical.
I have had the pleasure of seeing them in concert 3 times... they are that good...
i thought it was 5 times.
They were the best of the best! Anything by them is beautiful. Seven Bridges Road comes to mind.
R.I.P. Glenn. You are so missed. 💔♥️🕊️
thanks
I am so glad that I grew up in that era and I remember exactly where I was when that song came out. I had graduated high school in 1975 and this came out in 76. That was before video so you interpreted the song with a vision of the whole thing playing out in your mind, which is exactly what I did.❤
My family of five drove in a pickup truck with a camper top, along with two other vehicles [another family of four and a red VW camper van with four college students (also known as the hippy van)]. We drove to Alaska from Indiana on a 3 month journey of love and happiness and camping and bears and moose and caribou. We kids, got to take turns riding in the van with the cool
kids and one of the eight track tapes was the just released Eagles Greatest Hits (blue eagle cover) and Steve Miller Band. This groups sound is so full of memories its like a glass if wine and reading a diary. I was so blessed to have this music as a soundtrack for my youth. All that said Hotel California wasn’t on that eight track, but it was on the top 40 by Casey Kassim that summer so I heard it that summer too. Good times, long hair, and bell bottoms.
I've seen a ton of reactors react to this song and you're the first one I thought appreciated enough how amazing the guitar duet at the end was. There is a great documentary on the Eagles and they interviewed one of the engineers who was working in the booth when they recorded Hotel California. He basically said that its was totally apparent, even at the time, that the Don Feder/Joe Walsh duelling solos was magic and historic.
Got to see the History of the Eagles tour 10 years ago. Started out from the beginning with Frey and Hendley sitting on a couple of small amps and starting with their first few songs. Other members of the band gradually joined them for the rest of the basically acoustic set. After a one hour set they took an intermission and returned with the full band and backups and a large fully equipped stage and got things rolling with Life In The Fast Lane. Probably ranks at the top of my Best Concerts list. Pretty sure this was the last tour before Glenn passed.
The Eagles said this was there take on life in the music business in California and Hollywood at the time. I lived in these times, and we drove the coolest cars, dated the most fantastic girls, and had the best music ever made on our radios. Great channel Sebs.
Ridiculously good live. Lucky enough to see them in the UK in 2001 and 2008. Very very special nights. They were, without doubt, one of the best live bands that America has produced.
Welcome to our world. Those of us who grew up in this era. Are truly the beholders of the best of the best. The Strats The Tele Casters and The Les Paul Masters!
Eagles...my favorite group. I was in college during this time. Hotel California is an Eagles classic.
The music created in the 20th century from around 1945-1995 and all of its genres from big band , jazz, blues,ska reggae, country, R&B,R&R ,Soul, Folk, heavy metal, progressive rock, jazz fusion,singer-songwriter, pop, disco, punk, new wave,EDM, rap, hip hop, grunge, alternative rock, will never be repeated.
I like the idea that the song is about being Famous. Once you have it you can’t get away from it, (“checkout any time you like but you can never leave”). Fame itself is the ‘Beast’ referred to.
My dad went to his first concert, ever, at the age of 76, to see the Eagles, VIP seats. He had the time of his life. He has been an Eagles fan as long as I can remember. I have seen them once, and they are amazing! Love watching overs enjoy music I have loved since a kid. Thanks for the reaction! They have an amazing catalog...worth going down that rabbit hole for sure!!
The harmonies of both vocals and guitars was off the charts on this performance. They were the best during their time.
I saw them live last year in Baltimore. Bucket list concert. Flawless performance. If you can't afford front row sit near the soundboard. It was like listening to your favorite live album.
This 1977 live performance never gets old, I must have seen at least a hundred reactions to this one 👍😁
I saw them a handful of times in the 70s and 80s. Each concert was sheer perfection from start to finish. It was like watching a studio quality performance from 20-30 yards away! The last time I saw them in the late 70s/early 80s it cost like $7.50 to $8.00 to get in. Those were the best of times for sure, Sebs!!
take it to the limit live is incredible vocals by the bass player
Randy Meisner. Awesome bass player and singer. Passed away in 2023. He never got the credit for his great talents. Take it to the Limit. Untouchable.
My favorite Eagles song. That guitar duet gets me everytime! The Eagles are one of the few bands who sound as good live to me as they do on their albums.
Sebs, I am a 69 year old singer. This is the music of my youth. Enjoy it, savor it, drink it in!
Watching you react to this classic makes me feel very happy to see you appreciate the true talent. I guess I take this for granted growing up with this and living the greatness of those times. I'll apologize now for saying this. But todays music can't hold a candle to the music of this era . Keep searching and enjoying what we lived back then.
The guitars at the end are so haunting
These guys are definitely one of the top rock and roll bands of the last SEVERAL decades. Every one of them had very successful music careers after the hotel California, and rightfully so! They're all very accomplished musicians.
Lots of people get the chills from this song because both the music and lyrics are dark and creepy, even if we don't know exactly what they mean.
I'm 63', and I can say that we had the best music, actual musicians, true vocalists. There are some great musicians today, but the passion just seems missing in music today!
PS, Absolutely love your reaction's!!!!! 👍😍
I think that the music industry is way more controlled today by the higher ups. That destroys freedoms that our generation had to express ourselves.
I'll be glad to discuss. Metaphorically a story of them becoming HUGE R&R band and how they struggled being overcome by their success.
I think your interpretation of the song's meaning is spot on. I am continually impressed with the depth you bring to your reactions to the times, the places, and the people that created all these masterpieces.
It was a great concert, I know because I was there.
i remember seeing you there crying your Eyes out.
Don't know why I thought you heard this already. My favorite song by them. Absolutely love it 😂❤❤
Today's youth doesn't demand talented musicians anymore. Back then, bands were made of talented folks working together to compose songs. When you went to a concert and the whole band was locked in, you could just feel it.
Three of the four original members of the Eagles -- Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Bernie Leadon -- started as backup singers for Linda Ronstadt. She told them they were too good to waste their lives as backup singers and urged them to start their own band. Thank you, thank you, thank you, sweet Linda!
it was said by the band in one interview at one time that it was ' a journey from innocence to experience......' great review nothing today comes even close to the talent and to the craft with the sweat and tears put into music of the time.....
No metronome, no in-ear monitors. Just badass talent. Also, it is nice to have a large band in order to get the studio sound. Don Henley (drummer) also fronted the band as one of three/four singers. The Eagles were infamous for humanizing that blew people away. Great song.
All the individual members of the eagles had great solo careers
