First Time Hearing Eagles - I Can't Tell You Why (REACTION)

[@debrayoung8282]

Timothy was hesitant about singing this song. Don told him the band rules state that if you wrote it, you sing it. It's a beautiful song, and Im glad Timothy sang it.

[@jjsteel43]

I am also. He's got a good voice

[@toddhooks9813]

"Humans with instruments in a room. That's what we need". Couldn't agree more, my friend.

[@kskollections2142]

This song is why I fell in love with Timothy B. Schmidt!

[@Lulabee2024]

DECADES later and this one STILL gets me. What a fkn smooth vibe. Thank you SO MUCH for checking this one out. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Trustbutdocument]

Yes, great choice!

[@suzanneedwards5667]

Amazing when you know that THIS rehearsal became the track...one time...Tim's emotional eyes at the end is just heartfelt! These band members are/were so talented...each vocalist is so impressive...and if you wrote it, you got to perform it.....(who knows how things really were between them but most of us "fans" loved knowing that they spread that spotlight amongst one another! ) :)

[@TripletDad3]

They didn't always get to sing it if they wrote it. Don Felder wanted to sing Hotel California, but was overruled in favor of Henley.

[@larrystevenson1587]

@@matteoedwardes2876 On the single which this video is lip syncing to, it’s Glenn Frey who actually plays the guitar solo.

[@larrystevenson1587]

@ No Glenn came up with that guitar chord. He was a huge Motown fan since he grew up in Detroit, and felt that the song needed to be an R&B song, and came up with the chord. Stop trying to revise history just because you despise Frey and Henley

[@shezarae8827]

Timothy, the bass player with the long hair wrote this one. It is one of my favorites by them, because yes, it is great writing.

Their music sounds just as good as it did in my teens. The only difference is that I can really appreciate the talent that they had. Such great music.

[@matthewdooley7855]

The Eagles have so many different sounds - all the different singers, the great harmonies, so great on their instruments. One of the best bands ever.

[@jimprescott1843]

Everyone in the band could sing so awesome...

[@TexasRose50]

The one thing I love about music from yesterday is, back then bands played their own instruments and did it SO well. I miss those days. Yep, this is a beautiful song.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Great point! True musicians!

[@SuperKevin57]

Don Felder’s guitar on this is so smooth.

[@disneyworlddelights]

It was Glenn fry on the album version

[@jeanmc4213]

One very unique feature about the band "Eagles" is that every member is able to sing lead vocals. This makes their catalog so diverse and really huge. They are worth listening to further, very much so!

[@grigoriorifiel]

You will find that everything about this band: lyrics, arraignment, musicianship, vocals and harmonies; are all top notch.

[@DMorgan72]

Timothy B Schmit says Eagles continued success is all about the songs. This is his first hit as an Eagle. Oh ..and he had some of it written before he became and Eagle. He finished it with Don and Glenn. ❤ (Timothy was in Poco before he joined Eagles.)

[@tjrivers]

Absolutely, the sexiest song ever. Tim’s voice, the lyrics, harmonies all amazing! ❤ and Don Felder got it goin on with that guitar.

[@tjrivers]

Try Desperado, and Lyin Eyes

[@Chiari_Queen_T]

@@tjrivers 100%! Desperado is ironically one of Linda Ronstadt 's only original songs - she sings almost exclusively covers - but she had no luck with desperado. I'm kinda glad because maybe Eagles might not have given it a go had it been a monster hit for her & I like Linda but can't picture anyone else just owning that song!!

[@Chiari_Queen_T]

@@tjrivers Sexiest voice EVER? Not close, but a great voice nonetheless.

[@JeanetteFaith]

@@SaeedReacts. Take it to the Limit Live by the Eagles is the BEST!!! Some of Don Henley (The drummer) doing his own music solo for a while is maybe the BEST. Great Voice and Songs. The Eagles had so much talent. Everyone could sing. Glen Frey is the least-best vocalist but he and Don Henley started the band.

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 this is my favorite eagles song

[@Vee1music-lover]

Such a beautiful tune! Just for a minute, imagine what it was like to be a young teenager when the best music in the world came out! Can’t beat the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s! So many extremely talented musicians back then. Everybody reminisces about their younger years but damn it was great to be part of such massive, iconic, impressive eras of music.

[@Wordsmyth8]

How many other bands of 5 or more musicians can claim that each of them could easily be a lead singer because of their strong ability to produce such quality vocals and tones as these members can

[@debbiechang5781]

No autotune here! Just the beautiful sound of Timothy B Schmidt’s voice with tastefully placed backing vocals. There’s an insane amount of talent in this band. Every single member is a vocalist. Great choice and review! Hope you don’t get a copyright strike. 🌸💐✌️

[@SaeedReacts.]

Great song! Hope i don't get one either :)

[@michaeldransfield8775]

It's funny seeing Joe Walsh, the guy behind so many guitar riffs (Life in the Fast Lane and so much James Gang stuff) playing those nice little keyboard bits throughout this tune.

[@orange222...]

We used to have supergroups. These were groups where most, if not all, of the members were famous by themselves. That's the Eagles. Another group like this was Cosby, Stills, Nash and Young, try them out

[@DeanHolmes-i2l]

@@orange222... Basically Fleetwood Mac as well. I truly believe the difference maker for a very successful group is to have more than one song writer and more than one lead vocalist. That's to say that groups like Rolling Stones, Queen, Journey, and yet all are bad. However, when compared to the Beatles, Eagles, Bee Gees, Earth Wind and Fire, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac and the like, it's night and day. Especially when those groups have high, medium and low range lead singers, there's virtually nothing they can't perform.

[@go234ko96ts5]

One of the Eagles best with lead singer Timothy B. Schmidt. Such talent with this group. I remember buying my first 45 by the Eagles and it was Take it Easy and it was played over and over again. I was so happy they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and deserving so.

I hadn’t seen this video before, so thanks. The Eagles had it all. They could write great lyrics, compose fantastic melodies, could play masterfully and sing and harmonize like no other. A perfect mix of talented musicians. Like you said this is real; Real musicians, playing real instruments and singing with their own voices. They have so many more quality songs to react to. One of their songs that comes to mind is "Take It to the Limit". Please do the 1977 live version with the late Randy Meisner. He sings lead and it is a tour de force performance by and the band, just amazing!

[@lotusladylotus6159]

Thanks for the lovely trip down memory lane! Would definitely come along for other Eagles reactions 😉. Fun fact: Every member of the group was not only an accomplished musician (and they were magic together), but they were also excellent lead singers in their own right, and thus took turns singing on different tracks (rumour has it that their rule of thumb was, 'if you write it, you sing it'). With that in mind, may I make some suggestions for future reactions-- "Take it to the Limit", "Life in the Fast Lane", "Peaceful Easy Feeling", "One of These Nights," "Lying Eyes", "Heartache Tonight", "Witchy Woman" ,"New Kid in Town" and "Dirty Laundry".

I grew up listening to the Eagles and they were so popular and had so much radio play. My sister got to see them live in Concert, I was a bit too young to tag along. Wow.. to see the Eagles live!! I saw Joe Walsh who was a guest at a No Nukes Jackson Browne concert in Santa Fe, NM. The concert was phenomenal.

[@stephaniefain1863]

Every time I watch this, I go back in time. Might not be healthy. All of us kids, filing into the barn/ studio. Joshing and joking around. Putting on our gear, opening our cases. Powering up, plugging in. The sound checks sounded like a bunch of falling pans. Make ya wanna run. Then the places were taken, mics adjusted, and we were off and running. So much talent. Life got in the way, so, no real claim to fame. But, it was a magical time to be alive.

The Eagles are easily in my personal favorite Top 5 bands and while this isn't their most popular or technical song and quite simple is comparison to some of their others, it's my favorite Eagles song. Nice groove and bass line, Timothy's voice (I am a big fan of Randy's as well) and then Glenn on the guitar, it's one of those that I just don't want to end. Glenn was actually my favorite member, had a great solo career as well, but listening to him play on this track, I believe one of the members stated it was like Glenn making love to the guitar, so much feeling and emotion in the playing. Keep checking them out, you will not be disappointed!
