I wish the Eagles would allow the reaction channels to keep these up because it’s opening a whole new generation to their fantastic music! This is my favorite song by them, one of these nights is second! 😍

[@alexakl6445]

Exactly! They'd make more money as the younger generations discovering them start downloading their timeless music!

[@theoddityshoppe]

I just don't get it. If you buy a band shirt and wear it in the video or talk about them it's fine but if you use the music they are mad. Once I buy it, it's mine...I thought.

[@mikerichardson8983]

That's why I am so grateful that I grew up in the 70s and 80s. I tell young people al the time, they have no idea what great music is!

[@shilohauraable]

That's why so many of our songs are being rehashed by current groups. But some of the originals just can't be improved upon. ❤

[@avoncalling7886]

What’s awesome about this band, and is displayed in this video, is the range of talent. Here you have Joe Walsh, one of the best guitarists of all time, playing the keys. Such an epic band

Sometimes I feel sad getting old, but then realize I've had the amazing adventure of living through the 50,60,70, and 80's. The 90's started to bleed and now these are strange times for me, all upside down.

[@marytschida5756]

[@amandatolleson7740]

Agreed!

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

The Eagles are hard to do reactions too but we all still show up for their songs. Theyre the best.

[@dawnpatterson8708]

I love the Eagles and this is one of my favorites. But they DO like to hand out strikes. Tread carefully.

[@robertfindley921]

That's called talent. That's called hard work. That's called harmonies. Great lyrics, songwriting, vocals and musicianship. You don't see much of those today. I know all their names. The names their mothers gave them. But I've never seen any of them with their shirt off.

[@RockandRollWoman]

I've seen Robert Plant, Paul Rodgers and Peter Frampton sans shirts back in the day, but they are all phenomenal musicians. Never saw a Beatle without a shirt though.

[@quitwastinmytime]

Cool thing about the Eagles is everyone got to be an amazing vocalist once before they got fired.

[@susanmurray7654]

😅😅😅😅

[@RockandRollWoman]

Felder was never an amazing vocalist.

[@brigittereimprecht8334]

Eagles were great and this song is one of the most beautiful, sung by Timothy B. Schmit with his beautiful voice. Be sure to check out "Lyin' Eyes - (Live at the capital center 1977)" sung by Glen Frey and "Take It To The Limit" from the same concert, sung by Randy Meissner, so great. Every band member could sing and play several instruments and the harmony was perfect.

[@steveullrich7737]

Two great recommendations both are must sees.

[@Vee1music-lover]

It’s their job and they treat it like a business and THATS why everything they do is perfection! Such a class act!

[@JoeRixman]

Cliff, I couldn't agree with you more. This was my era, the 70s, and people gave their hearts to the music. It wasn't as much about making money as it was telling your story. Love this. Thank you for playing it and I am glad you enjoyed it.

This is by far my favorite Eagles tune. Love seeing Joe Walsh on keys and Timothy B. Schmit tugs at my heart with vocals. Great reaction.

[@matteoedwardes2876]

Ahhh Don Felder on that guitar. ❤

[@jeanmarie9797]

He makes the guitar sing so beautifully.

[@larrystevenson1587]

Felder didn’t do that solo. He is miming Glenn Frey’s solo. Glenn wrote, and performed that solo.

[@larrystevenson1587]

Glenn Frey Although Joe Walsh and Don Felder performed most of the Eagles' lead guitar parts this time, it was Glenn Frey who contributed the biting, sliding guitar solos that highlight “I Can't Tell You Why.” The Long Run was the Eagles' longest and most contentious recording.

[@hollysmith9979]

[@rosshutchinson8882]

Love Your Work Cliff and Your Interpretations of the 70s Classics Works. I’m a late Boomer born 1960 so I remember the 60s but I’m a true product of the 70s music and “Life Be Out of It” philosophy as well as seeing the Disco Era emerge across the country too. But love good solid rock with fine vocals, incredible musicianship and lyrics that cut you to the core - Your reactions are so great to witness as you open the Pandora’s Box of musical produced back then. Please have a surf around some of our great Aussie Bands of that era too. One of Big acts here in Australia was Cold Chisel who are contemporaries of AC/DC and are very old friends. The one that I’d like see you kick off with is Cold Chisel “When The War Is Over” which is a new arrangement and cover of “Mott The Hoople” British Band’s original track which they made their own in 1982. The riots which are featured in the video are actual footage of the night the Star Hotel was closed down permanently in Newcastle, September 19-20, 1979. It was a incredibly popular old school Australian Pub where many Rock Bands of those days cut their teeth. The regular loyal crowds who went there lost their shit as you’ll see in the video. The police copped a hell of a time from drunk, fucked up and pissed off patrons. You’ll love the vocals of the two half-brothers, Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss who share the lead. These guys still work together, solo and as a Band today. Please check out their other work and their contemporaries like Midnight Oil, Australian Crawl and wherever KZbin will take you from there. All the best from the “The Land Downunder” Ross (Brisbane, Australia) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKSpd3WZbMmbepIsi=G0PPda7z5d4Y5nN5

[@StatsJedi]

You'll be lucky if this stays up. The Eagles block reactions like there's nothing else to do. Great music, but if they're going to be that way, I won't bend over backward to support them. I was 19 when this came out.

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

I agree. Don't give them the platform then. They have forgotten who they were playing for and why. Sad to see them disintegrate. Not all members though. RIP to those who have passed.

[@dawnbittner9073]

Welcome to the 1970's - the decade of hair! There was even a musical titled "Hair" and a movie titled "Shampoo." Long hair on men was all the rage. Some looked good, some did not. Not everyone grew it as long as Timothy B. Schmidt - but it was at least collar length most of the time. And as for The Eagles - they are fantastic! Saw them in concert during the Hell Freezes Over tour (1st one) and they put on quite a show and sounded just as good as ever. They are another group that I don't think put out a bad song, ever. Thanks for listening to this and love your commentary and honesty about enjoying the behind the scenes and live music - keep it real!

[@bethking7348]

I think this is my favorite Eagles song ❤ you need to hook into Darryls House for live jam sessions

That last bit of that guitar solo. Is my favorite. Heard this back in the day. Still love The Eagles.

[@ellenhulslander2897]

O my goodness! I forgot how much I LOVE The Eagles. And I miss keyboards in groups. Attention to lyrics and melody. Muah! Chef's kiss!

[@rickwelch8464]

One take. These guys are the DEFINITION of professionals. Still are. I saw them last October in Denver and besides Walsh's voice being old, they were perfection. I miss actual musicians so much. I know that there is art in what is happening out there now, but man when a great band nails it it seems so much more impactful. I've been able to find some good new stuff for sure, but the popular stuff isn't really for me (it's not supposed to be, I get it. I know I sound like MY grandfather saying crooners were the best thing ever.)

[@keelsmac01]

Really? I saw the a couple years ago and they just seemed tired and like, why are we here? The only bright spot was joe. Could have been an off night I guess.

[@rickwelch8464]

@@keelsmac01 Yeah I bet at that age there are more bad nights than good, but they nailed it when I saw them. They did the coolest thing with Witchy Woman, made it sort of tribal, and I was here for it. Vince Gill was with them too and he improves everything musically. Of course it could have been the massive j we shared before we went in 😂

[@maryjanson7223]

im 70yrs old i grew up with the BEST MUSIC EVER .EAGLES ARE ALWAYS ON 🔥🔥

[@glennburch1081]

Linda Ronstadt formed them up in 1971, recruiting Glen Frey and Don Henley to join her band in support of her 1971 Silk Purse tour. Glen Frey and Don Henley told LR they wanted to form their own band which found her helping in that endeavor more than any other…… thus, The Eagles were born: Glen Frey (Vocals, guitar and keyboards) Don Henley (Drummer, Lead vocals), Bernie Leadon (Vocals, guitar, dobro, and mandolin), and Randy Meisner (Vocals, guitar, bass guitar). David Geffen (Asylum Records) was introduced to Glenn Frey by Jackson Brown, who bought out their current label Amos Records in Sept 1971, then sent the four members to Aspen CO. to develop as a band. Some must-listen suggestions: Lying Eyes, One Of These Nights, Take It To The Limit, After The Thrill is Gone, I Can’t Tell You Why, and Wasted Time.

[@WillLlamas]

Classic jam that even tough guys will admit to loving.

[@critterwatcher8009]

This is one of my favorite Eagles songs. You mention writing about relationships. You should check out a singer-songwriter who covers all facets of love look at Dan Fogelberg. His prime was 70s and 80s. He wrote about New romantic love, broken love, bittersweet reminiscing. He's very underrated. His most famous songs are "longer" and "Same Old Lang Syne" but there are better examples: "Seeing you again" "lonely in Love" "heart hotel" "make love stay" " believe in me" "tell me to my face""dancing shoes". Fogelberg's album "Souviners" was produced by Joe Walsh and Glen Frey sang backup on at least one of his songs.

[@kathymcguire8287]

Love, love, love the Eagles!!! I saw them in concert. When hell freezes over! That's what they used to say after they disbanded. I kept saying that they would come back so I could see them. When I heard the announcement that they were going to tour, I freaked out, saying I told you so!!😮😊❤ I love a song called " 7 Bridges Road." They harmonize so well together.

[@piahooks9849]

[@kimberly3131]

Love, love, love this song. No matter how many times over so many years, it still grabs my heart every time. The tune, the instruments, the words, his voice and the background vocals all together make this song a masterpiece in my opinion. Not always, but the beauty and emotion in it, can still bring a tear sometimes. I also love how the background vocals at times, seem like they're thoughts running through his mind, while he's trying to explain to her how he feels.
