The drummer was not the only lead singer in the band. They were changing the lead singers depending of the song. And also all of them could play two or more instruments. During the concerts they were switching and they could just pick up any instrument and play. Amazing group of unbelievably talented musicians.

[@seekingwisdom5156]

The band member who took the lead vocals was determined by who wrote the song. They wrote their own music as well.

[@roncypert8255]

Plus they always sounded just like the studio cuts in concert.

[@Fcukthedems]

Drummer was not the lead singer, there were a few!!!!!

[@mikedrake5373]

Don Henley the drummer also plays guitar, the guy on the 12 string guitar was ( I believe was Don Felder) and the guy with red bandana was master guitarist and wild man Joe Walsh. 👍

[@davehughesfarm7983]

Most all the guys I made music with can play guitar, bass, drums and keys ..At least a little bit..

[@karenj3611]

That dueling guitar solo with Joe Walsh and Don Felder is amazing

[@cornelius8617]

Amazing is an understatement

[@jeffsouthard3153]

People need to remember this song is not about a hotel it's about what the music industry did to musicians in those days

[@jeffsouthard3153]

The bass player is Randy Meisner

[@Coffeendonuts]

Absolute perfection. Best guitar solo in rock history

[@joelanderos23]

@@jeffsouthard3153 randy and timothy chased each other from band to band. randy was in poco and then left to join the eagles and timothy took his place there. when randy left the eagles timothy took his place. lol

[@terryduncan31]

They sounded like the studio version because they didn't have any hi-tech equipment back in the day to mask any mistakes. Raw talent!

[@joshgrant-ti4xk]

The tech was around. They just didn't need it

[@tangemclemore177]

PERIOD!

[@craigwilson3214]

Classic Eagles. This song will never go out of style. That's how good they are.

[@sherryarflin726]

One of the most genius moves ever.......Don Felder and Joe Walsh together......EPIC!!!!!!!

[@erickjohnson2138]

With that duo and Henley's vocals. Doesn't get much better.

[@jeffwarren4938]

And they treated Felder like crap over his political leanings. He was a fantastic talent!

[@sherryarflin726]

@jeffwarrend938, yeah that really sucked!

[@jeffwarren4938]

​​@@sherryarflin726I agree..I love the Eagle's music, but Henley, and especially Frey were complete aholes to Felder. Felder didn't like having to perform at a fundraiser for a left-wing lunatic politician running for congress in California, and he protested, and was a stand-up guy, and told the politician he did not support him (backstage), and Frey flipped out and threatened to kick Felders ass on stage...Felder also was a great businessman, and objected to Frey and Henley spending lavishly on themselves out of the tour income...they showed him the door shortly after. Felder is a virtuoso guitarist, and in the same documentary, he is showing Joe Walsh how to play a part easier...Walsh was/is a nice guy, and he and Felder meshed really well. I can understand Henley and Frey having big egos...you have to have some ego to get that good, but they shafted Felder big time.

[@sherryarflin726]

@jeffwarrend, I didn’t know the story behind his release. Biggest mistake ever. I love Walsh but him and Felder together was mind blowing. I would love to see those two together again.

[@easttexasnomad5981]

Don Felder and Joe Walsh, two of the best guitars in the business. This has been and is my favorite song of all time.

[@brianmccardel182]

Yes

[@robjgolde3221]

The bassline in this song is so under-rated. It’s not overly complicated but it locks in with Don Henley’s drumming so well and highlights the chord shapes/changes beautifully. Randy Meisner doesn’t get enough credit.

[@JanetLangdon]

Apparently Don Felder came up with the bass part, but Randy made it his own. I find this version grooves better than recent ones with Timothy on bass.

[@jeffridgeway7474]

“The problem with Randy was that he never realized how good he was.” ~ Joe Walsh

[@nickwilbers5266]

I'm not sorry for being "old". Born in the late 60's I grew up with this song and the awsome periode of music of the 70's and 80's. Thank you for this reaction and my childhood memories.

[@PromLesbian]

Same here.

[@jamescurfman3284]

Mid-seventies kid here. :)

[@bertpainter8385]

Late 50's here and I'll add the early and mid 60's too. I wish I was old enough to experience the Chuck Berry's, Buddy Hollies, Big Bopper and Elvis Presley, etc in their youth.

[@jamescurfman3284]

@@bertpainter8385 Agreed! :)

[@stevechristy3244]

You aren't that old. I'm at least a decade older than you. Glad you loved the greatest era in music.

[@martinelduin2214]

Take it to the Limit with Randy Meisner on lead vocal really showcases the Eagles well. Live version - Capital Centre March of 77 is incredible.

[@allensaunders449]

Great live version.

[@jeffridgeway7474]

[@jackregan3414]

Don Felder, the dude with the double neck guitar, wrote the music for this. Such an underrated and talented musician.

[@shopgirl10]

He wrote the melody, but Don Henley and Glenn Frey wrote the lyrics.

[@bernardcarpenter6949]

Before auto tune. THIS is musicianship.

[@827dusty]

Don Henley is his name. He went on to a solo career as a singer only, after the Eagles ended, and did very well in the mid 80s with a few hit songs. The whole damn Band was full of talented artists, including Joe Walsh, Glen Frye, and the others. They were truly a great Band

[@frankmerris8821]

still are

[@dazzahoward7104]

Glen Frye is amazing as well. There were so many individually great artists in this band.

[@827dusty]

The great Joe Walsh with his pirate scarf on his head.

[@kenperk9854]

Well, Joe was running for President in the 70s as well as playing guitar! He would have been been a much better president than that turd-eating biden boy.

[@kenperk9854]

They are at their greatest on 7 Bridge's Road. If you are headed to Panama City, you will cross the 7 Bridge's south of Montgomery, Alabama.

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

@@kenperk9854 would have made a better president than the draft dodging trump

[@wmgilliland2582]

It's called a Doo-rag.

[@dwainwilkinson3147]

My wife says that watching them perform this song live can change your life. I tend to agree.

[@JBeck33]

Just a legendary song. If you’re a fan of harmonies, check out their version of Seven Bridges Road.

[@jmolony31]

I was going to say the same thing

[@katiedeal6320]

LOve seven bridges, helll yess

[@williamsimmons152]

And then check out Foxes and Fossils, same tune. You won’t believe it.

[@PriestessOfNothing]

Absolutely, to hear some beautiful harmonizing, you need to hear Seven Bridges Road!

[@johnrutherford2961]

Every member is a musical powerhouse in their own right. Combined, they're epic.

[@heinleinreader]

I still consider the Eagles to be the first supergroup, as each of the members had a solo career in their own rights. Meisner, Felder, Frye, Walsh, and Henley were each versatile in multiple instruments, each could sing, and each could play at a Rock Hall solo artist level of skill. If they were not an early inductee to the Hall as a band, they likely would have had at least two or three make it in as solo artists as well.

[@terryomalley1974]

When I hear great classics like Hotel California, it makes me both happy and sad. Happy, because the music brings back great memories of growing up. But, sad because it just reminds me of how far the quality of music in general has sunk from the hay day of rock (late '60s to early '80s).

[@joepublic4082]

Yep I couldn't agree more. I mean there were *SOME* great songs & albums after that but they were pretty thin on the ground compared to the enormous volume of great music from the dates you highlight. Oh & I mean across the board from genre to genre whether it was soul or rock or country rock like the Eagles or heavy metal or even punk & yes, even in the commercial world of pop. I know tastes vary but for me the only modern [ish] band who can cut it in the company of the greats is MUSE. They are brilliant both studio recorded or live & their music is/was original & not derivative from past acts & the best live band I watched in the 21st century. Beside that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are a class act but they are a bit more derivative though IMO. Once you past them though I am struggling to find any who stand out as being able to live in the company of those great bands from yesteryear & any that do will surely be derivative.

[@melodyszadkowski5256]

Amen to that

[@kevinmarshall854]

This song has one of the most famous and incredible guitar solos ever.

[@justme2]

9:15 I still get goose bumps watching Felder & Walsh 'bounce' off each other...

[@waynejones5635]

I am glad I was born when I was so I could experience this era of music. This is one of the great rock bands in history.

[@workingman6681]

One of the best songs of all time!!

[@todd8414]

One of the few bands who's live songs sounded as good as the album versions!

[@gdo3510]

They sound even better live imo. Them and DMB are two acts that just sound better live

[@thanksmr.obvious6427]

Queen sounds better in live too with FReddie of course not with this shit singer Adam

[@jeffwarren4938]

​​@@gdo3510Triumph is another...watch their '83 US Festival set...epic...Rik Emmett is probably the best guitarist/vocal combo in one guy...virtuoso voice and guitar. Journey as well, and any band Dio was in. Watch Stargazer video when he was with Rainbow.

[@lucasroth7922]

That whole album was a summer of 76' night drive✌❤🤘

[@bobcoulton5323]

Don Felder wrote an autobiography and it's an amazing read. A band always on edge but supremely talented

[@jeffwarren4938]

Yes...Frey was a nut, and treated Felder like shit because Frey was a commie POS, and he hated that Felder was a conservative. Like their music, but Henley and Frey were typical close-minded limousine liberals. I as a conservative I can seperate their musical talent from the idiotic political ideology....lefties can't! Love the Eagles music..their multi-part harmonies were second to none.

[@TheBham54]

The Eagles was where I first heard the term "Country Rock," Don Henley & Glenn Frey both sang lead, Don Felder was there original lead guitar player and left not long after this tour, when Joe Walsh had joined the band. Great band, dominated the charts back in the early 70's.

[@craigwhip]

Don Felder was NOT their original lead guitarist, Bernie Leadon was

[@TheBham54]

@@craigwhip, my bad, I'd forgotten that he was not an original member. I actually liked the original lineup the best, miss Bernie in the lineup.

[@charlesturner3688]

Rest In Peace Glenn.

Henley, and especially Frey, treated Felder like crap because of his political leanings. Nothing like limousine liberals to be close minded POS. Frey was a complete jerk in life.

[@jeffwarren4938]

​@@TheBham54Felder was a much better guitarist...period..was treated like crap by Frey, and to a lesser extent Henley. Felder wrote the music to this song, and was a virtuoso guitarist!

I am 73 yrs old, the eagles were and still is my favorite band, my kids (5) were raised on 70s music, so were my grandchildren, and now my great grandkids too) anyways, this band has no equal, there was no Hotel California, it is a serious song. The guitar playing harmony is legend. Play the rest of their songs you will not be disappointed. By the way, I know I am older now, but I was in my mid twenties, when this song came out!!

I love your reaction when you saw Don Henley-the drummer for the Eagles-is the singer to this awesome tune!

[@Chuck5653]

I loved the Eagles ALL the time they were together. I am an old Cowboy and remember how much they were made fun of - why? Because their vocals harmonized, and they said they would ALWAYS - as long as they were together - harmonize. MANY said they would never make it...I guess they were actually laughing till the end. Will ALWAYS be one of my favorites for rock.

[@charliemac64]

When he said, "We are young!" I immediately thought of, "Heartache to heartache, we stand...no promises no demands." And then you made reference to the song, too. HA! That was funny. Eagles were fecking amazing live.

[@richardperez9068]

man this gets me misty eyed everytime...in 1977 I just graduated St Brendan's grammar school here in L.A...asked my mom if I could have a graduation party..surprisingly she said yes..we had a very small class of 23 students..2 who went on to form Faith No More..I had my first slow dance to this song..man funny how music makes you remember so many memories

One of the best guitar-solos ever. Thx

[@gordo0449]

Saw these guys on their first North American tour when they opened for Proco Harum in Toronto Canada and they absolutely blew the place away and stole the show. The drummer, Don Henley, is not the only lead vocalist and he also plays guitar. The guy they keep showing with the head band is the great Joe Walsh. R.I.P. Glenn Frey, your talent is greatly missed!

[@mthorntonwolfe]

To add to the person that stated the song was about drugs and excess, "In the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast / They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast" is about heroin.

[@alexakl6445]

I consider them the best American guitar band in history alongside Lynyrd Skynyrd. I mean, when you sound just as good in concert as you do in the studio says it all.

[@LuzLopez-fl1qp]

The Wolf Hunters The Eagles are my favorite. Listen to more of their songs HotelCaliforia is the best I'm 64 now and I still listen to the Eagles often

[@grege9019]

Don Henley was very much like Ronnie van Zandt, in that he drove the band members pretty hard during rehearsals. That’s why the Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd sounded so amazing live.

There was a 'reunion' version of this. One of the guys (I am not sure who it was) joked into the mic, something about 'We never actually broke up the band we just...took a REALLY LONG BREAK...for fourteen years...' Something like that. THEN they started playing this song and it was MAGICAL, like they had all continuously kept practicing this one and perfected it. It's even better when they are older, I swear.

The "Hotel California" represents all that a person dreams of obtaining in life; but once obtained, these visions often reveal themselves to be the worst nightmares one could ever have imagined. Thus, a person needs to learn to be careful what they wish for in life.

[@sherylhenley1931]

Considered one of the greatest bands ever. They were all singer/songwriters, played multiple instruments. The dueling guitar solos are some of the most famous in history.

We, who have heard this a few hundred times, still love it. We don't tire of it. BTW, there was a decent hotel in San Francisco called "The Californian" but everything changes. From Wiki --The Spero Hotel, originally the Hotel Californian and later the Serrano Hotel, is a historic hotel building at 403 Taylor Street in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco, California. It was designed by architect Edward E. Young and built in 1923. A four story addition designed by Alfred Henry Jacobs was completed in 1929. The 12-story hotel is at 405 Taylor Street. It underwent a $16 million renovation and became the Spero Hotel in 2018.[2] It is listed on the listed on the National Register of Historic Places in San Francisco, California since 1998;[3] and it is a contributing property to the National Register of Historic Places's Uptown Tenderloin Historic District since 2009. There are many hotels with the name "California".

dudes, I fuckin grew up hearing this, I had a shirt from this fucking live show, and I DIDN'T KNOW Don Henley was the singer, cuz I had never seen them. My parents went to the tour, and I just got the shirt. Literally found this out THIS YEAR. Major respect.

Try the song, "Get Ready - In Concert" by Rare Earth. The drummer is the lead singer...also, they are one of the only "white" bands signed to Motown records.

Gil Moore from Triumph was a great singer drummer, and the other singer Rik Emmett was even better...virtuoso voice and guitarist...go watch their '83 US festival performance...legendary performance.

Another band I got the pleasure to be raised on

After Glenn Frey died, Don Henley commented on the song meaning. He said all he’s going to say is that “it’s about going from innocence to experienced and regrets along the way”.
