Eagles Live 1980
"Eagles Live" is my favorite live album. The songs have excellent edits between different years of performances. I have heard of the studio enhancing rumors too, and they are obvious in a few places. Great sound quality all around, and excellent performing! My only regret is the playlist. The Joe Walsh songs came out great but seem out of place for this collection. And why did they include the "Doolin-Dalton Reprise II?"(obviously a Bill Szymczyk studio creation) So many other classic tunes should have been substituted in place of LBG, ANL, and Doolin Dalton... Perhaps there were no pristine multitrack recordings fit enough to work into the collection. The total playing time is about 77 minutes-- so much more could have been inserted here. Hopefully someday the album will be remastered with extra tracks. Just about as good live recordingds as you can get, Hotel California, I Can't Tell You Why, The Long Run, Wasted Time, Take It To The Limit, Life In The Fast Lane and Take It Easy, all fantastic stuff. I really liked Seven Bridges Road, Life's Been Good is OK, only All Night Long is below par. Only one mystery remains, why was it not all on 1 disc as it comes in under 80 mintues?
