@@hilarytoffler5636 Actually, it turns out that Don Felder *did* sing a song for the Eagles, although he's singing with a group of others and only Felder's mother could pick out which was his voice. The song is called "Visions," and it's not a bad song... but the vocals are down in the mix and it is always multiple voices -- can't really recognize any of them.

@@BobKovacs I also had the privilege of seeing Frank Zappa and the Mothers at D.A.R. Constitution Hall. WOW. He introduced Jon Luc Ponti (sp?). That was the first time I saw an electric violin played with a band like that.... Freaking awesome!

[@daveking9393]

Every member of the band could be lead singer. They all have great voices and they use them on different tracks. You'll be amazed

Studio version sounds the same. They're enormously talented.

Drumming and singing: Karen Carpenter. Loved your reaction to this and the fact you let the guitars play.

[@mitchellbeston1033]

The Eagles are probably the USA's biggest rock band. Glad you are discovering them. They have written some of rock's greatest ever ballads.

[@abrei]

The tightest, most talented band you’ll ever see or hear.

[@mitchelllindgren1215]

I love it when you play the songs from the 70's. They don't make music like that anymore. Real vocals and instruments. Some of the best music ever. Keep it up, it is a deep well that will continue to surprise you.

[@toddjohnson350]

For a super chill vibe, check out their song "I Can't Tell You Why." The music video was shot while they were recording the song in studio.

[@beegee1960]

My favorite band of all time. They never recorded a bad song. And I am 82, so I have heard most of them.

[@justinsmyth3211]

I saw them last year in concert for the 1st time. They are all in their 70's now, and they sounded FREAKING INCREDIBLE!!! The beat concert I've ever been to!!

[@robertstrohm2412]

Don Felder, the gent playing the 12 over 6 guitar is a premium guitar player. He is also the member that wrote this song. He has many amazing contributions to the Eagles catalog and is a founding member of the group. And? Joe Walsh is the second lead and he is also an amazing guitarist. The two together? Dynamite. 🎉

[@BobKovacs]

Don Felder is an excellent guitar player, and he wrote the music to Hotel California. However, the words were written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey, so Felder is *one of* the writers of Hotel California. And Felder was not a founding member of the group... he was added for the 3rd album.

[@robertstrohm2412]

@@BobKovacs true that. But the song would not exist if Felder had not developed the crazy guitar parts. Thank you for your comments and hope you are living your best life.

[@TheTeamsmith5]

Each member of the Eagles lead sings regardless of instrument. Twin lead guitars is what makes this song legendary. Plus the song’s eerie portrayal of the excesses of life represented in the California lifestyle of the 70s….

[@BobKovacs]

Don Felder, the guy playing the double-neck guitar in this video, did not sing lead for the Eagles. All the others on stage for this video sang lead in various songs. And were really good at it.

As an old man at 67, I appreciate that you appreciate the music I grew up with!

Hip Hop is not music... THIS IS MUSIC WITH LYRICS THAT HAVE MEANING!

[@tinamakaneole]

The Eagles are legends. Every member is a lead singer, every member an accomplished musician. The guy on the right is Ringo Star’s brother in law. ❤😊

[@fatimasoares7261]

The best "guitar duel" I've ever listened to.

[@ssacra22]

One of the greatest rock bands of all time. They were so good, that almost every member also had successful solo careers. They all sand lead on different songs too. Amazing.

[@garylagstrom3864]

I met Timothy B. Schmidt-bass player and lead vocals on I Can’t Tell You Why in Sacramento California at Tower records for a book signing he was doing before the Hell Freezes Over tour in 94. His two elementary school teachers were there. Kindergarten and 1st grade. I’ll never forget the look on his face when they surprised him! Fun fact: Timothy was the only native Californian: Born in Oakland and raised in Sacramento!

[@victormolina3601]

Welcome to a band that will SHOCK you at every turn. I think EVERY dude in that band, is lead singer. In many different songs! Just an AMAZING BAND! Welcome, to your journey of The Eagles!
