I saw the Roberts Meisner band twice in small clubs. The people in the audience were so gracias and grateful to see both Rick and Randy. Especially, Randy. He’d sing Take it to the limit or try and love again and the audience was simply in awe. Amazing talent.
"Oh Randy - even though you didn't like the spotlight (and what a geek interviewer asking you about the Eagles when you were on stage with this band - albeit briefly) didn't you move so beautifully with the rhythm of the music while singing harmony and playing bass? This was not the band for you but 11 years on from leaving the Eagles, at 42 years you still looked gorgeous and never lost your talent, your sweetness nor your humility. What a treasure!"
Ralph was no geek he was around for many years on radio and later TV. Asking about the Eagles is logical certainly no slight to him...Ralph was correct in that they reunited in 5 years from this video
This ticked me off also. He could have focused on why they were there. Everyone knew where Randy was from. Would like to know what Rick was saying to Randy while Ralph doing commercial. Prob pissed. Looked so beautiful & sexy still. ❤️ Will always b remembered...
I am searching always a videos on RUclips about my favorite legend Randy Meisner of Eagles . . Thank you for the social media nowadays I 💕 you Sir RAndy Meisner. Salute
That guy was so rude to Randy, kept cutting him off every time he spoke and Randy wasn't even saying much. All he wanted to talk about was The Eagles getting back together and to ask a gotcha question about why Randy left the band. He cut him off before Randy got to say they were still on good terms. I really think Glenn Frey liked working with Randy but he was too influenced by Henley. Its amazing how that guy was even in that job since he had no skill at interviewing. I have to give Randy credit for keeping a smile on his face. I'm sure his midwestern politeness had alot to do with it. And when he asked him if he would get back with The Eagles what did he expect him to say. My opinion is that Randy started drinking to cope with his shyness and stage fright and then it became a bad habit. He could get into the groove if he had a few. I think he did the right thing for himself when he left the band even though it was very painful for us fans. Some people just don't have the constitution for the tour grind. ❤Randy❤
Agree about the 'interviewer'. Never understood how that guy got the job. Scary. So good to hear and see Randy. He is class and graciousness as well as a one-of-a-kind talent.
Considering how Randy never got another shot at being back with the Eagles...I find his comment at the end so sad. The video otherwise was great and thanks!
Back in the 70's I was in the sauna at a health spa in Boulder CO. The door opened and a guy I recognized as Chris Hillman of Byrds fame came in with a guy he introduced as Rick Roberts. They both said they were trying to get Rick cleaned up from too much partying. Rick was frontman for a new band named Firefall and A & R executives would be checking out the band to see if it was worthy of a recording contract. In the hot, hot sauna Chris was pouring ice cold water on Rick to sober him up -- and having him sniff herbal concoctions to clean his sinuses out from too much party powder. Chris told Rick: "Party after you get the recording deal -- not before." I guess it worked because I heard a record company signed Firefall to a contract.
Ralph Emory was never known for doing any research on guests on his show. It would have been so easy for him to learn what NOT to ask Randy. He had Chris Hillman on his show once and said, "So how is Gram (Parsons) now days?" "Still dead, Ralph."
Dear Mr. Cameraman, I take it that it was just TOO bloody difficult to capture two singers in the same frame. Was this before wide-angle lenses were introduced to the world?
Poor Ralph Emery. I feel sorry that he so offended Jim McGuinn and Gram Parsons that the world got the song 'Drug Store Truck Driving Man,' but then I see or hear something like this, and I know that Mr. Emery apparently remained oblivious to how trivially dull he often seemed and how insulting he could be.
Clunkers in the intro and outro. Rick sounded a bit hoarse and the harmonies at the end were shockingly bad. I listened twice, just to make sure my ears heard it correctly.
@@lastnamefirst4035 The Roberts-Meisner band existed from c. 1987-89, as Meisner went back to Poco in 1989. The Glenn solo album alluded to was probably Soul Searching, which came out in SUmmer 1988.
When the Byrds were in their country phase ,Emery was then an influential DJ at Nashville C/W radio station WSM. .....

But Emery didn't consider the Byrds to be an "authentic " Country band and refused to play the promotional singles Mcguinn and Parsons had brought along , instead Emery began grilling the two musicians about the "status " of their draft eligibility .....
Why do we all love Randy Meisner so much ❤❤

I LOVE this song… love their voices ❤❤. AND Randy Meisner !
Never knew Roberts and Meisner had teamed up. Saw Roberts and Firefall in Tulsa 1978
Both guys are great talents. Glad to see this posted

Randy had about 10 times more talent....jealousy
Randy with Eagles:
wow. Take it to the limit.
My favorite Eagles song. ❤ Randy
This was when music was about talent !
agree, and it was a pleasure to play
Beautiful song,always a fave, And Randy!🥰
CaryParkGuitar!!! A hundred thousand thank you's!!!
You are so welcome

R.I.P.
Rick still has it.
Still got it, Rick.
He really had it back then
They didnt show enough of Randy Meisner in this clip 😐😐
Obsessed with him
All seasoned and great players. I love the raw recording. To sound this great live separates the men from the boys. Thanks for posting and great work.
Thanks for the kind words TB

You look like a dude that could tell that story.
@@sgt.thundercok4704
Rex, does look like a fella that has puffed substantial powder himself
Ralph Emery ALWAYS treats anyone with a rock background with so much contempt when he speaks to them .
Such a dick.
Rick went downhill in appearance and health too fast. Such a gorgeous voice when healthier.
The host 😂what a joke
as they left the bands, now picking up the pieces
Wasn't that a song?
Rick Roberts fought his way back from a serious brain bleed,not being able to walk and then fought hard to sing again.
I wonder what Rick was wispering? :)
He was telling Randy of the music we were to play going to commercial
He said This guy is a tweeb, he does not let Randy finish his questions!
@@pattyoneill6724 😂
@@carypark5322and was it Take It Easy? (Was what i meant)

Randy should have been on camera more.

He acts like he's the star instead of these great artists he was lucky enough to meet.
Ralph Emory strikes again.
Firefall
The host failed to mention Firefall.
Is this Firefall?
What happened to Chuck Kirkpatrick? I Thought he was the lead vocalist on this song.
This isn't Firefall. This is the Roberts Meisner Band. Besides, Rick sang the original.
@@luisalonsoecheverria
Rick wrote and sang all of Firefall's best songs.
@@hinjurock70
Rick Roberts was ‘Firefall’
Sounds like flutist messes up last couple notes in intro
Clunkers in the intro and outro. Rick sounded a bit hoarse and the harmonies at the end were shockingly bad. I listened twice, just to make sure my ears heard it correctly.
@@pitneyfarmmendhamnj6772 The end did sound off.
Sad that Randy Meisner was relegated to a backup singer.
Rick sang lead on this always. I dont think randy was w firefall at all

@@zachhoran thanks for the info. Idk why I made a previous comment when all I really know about firefall is I like their music
He was always more comfortable there anyway.
Well that was one song. This band did preform Take it to the Limit. I'm trying to find it on you tube.
Ralph Emery is in the IHOF...which is the Idiot Hall of Fame
Ralph Emory: “Hey Randy, tell us about your disappointing time with the Eagles.”
Yeah, that was uncomfortable to watch.
And extremely rude.
Ralph Emery was such a hack!

@@edwardturner6319And it was no wonder that the Byrds recorded the song “Drug Store Truck Drivin’ Man” and dedicated it to Ralph Emery.
Sounds like emery living up to his jerk status.@@edwardturner6319
Forgot what a jerk Emory was. Very insulting to Rick Roberts, acted like he was invisible. Meisner seemed uncomfortable with the situation
Randy not really liking to be put on the spot, but Emery is such an ignoramus. Promote the band on your show.
Roberts looks a bit like Freddy Fender
Interviewer/host is pretty rude!
Oh shut the fuck up. Why? Because of the bloodline comment?
Ralph was always rude, but for some reason they loved him in Nashville.
He's a Drug Store Truck Driving Man
Agreed!
who was that host? very rude condescending guy in my opinion
Rick Roberts should have been the back-up singer.
Randy Meisner had a far higher quality voice and stage presence.
What year?
I think 1988
Me too !
Matthew McConaughey is looking more and more like Ralph Emery these days.
Interviewer is the worst
ralph reminds me of a countrified tom snyder/morton downey jr 🙄
Ralph was just not good in this interview.Douche chills!
The Host has mega Cringe powers!!! Lord Almighty
He's a drunk
@@lylecampbell9036 Well Sir That does explain many things... lol Thank you
@@lylecampbell9036and freakin rude

Dumb move by Ralph at that time. RIP
