I am in love with *Eagles* Hotel California (Live 1977) REACTION!

[@bumperu]

You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave. One of the best lyrics in Rock and Roll history.

[@richardsims4779]

Randy Meisner Take it To The Limit live.

[@robotto8858]

Great Eagles song for singer's reaction!

[@EricNess-sc3rh]

The guitar duet with the descending arpeggios is unmatched!

[@glendirienzo1365]

The Eagles are a great band. A few different versions throughout the years. This live show was one of their best. Emma!!! ❤️😍🥰💕💘

[@MrYoup11]

Emma, with your musical knowledge and the love you show for music, it's hard to believe you have missed out on a lot of these classic songs.

[@bossfan49]

Those twin-lead guitars.... .descending arpeggios are too gorgeous. Joe Walsh looks so happy to be a part of that collaboration, fun to play and the result is so satisfying! Joe and Don..two of the finest.

[@DevlinDomini]

The Eagles are a supergroup. Several of the guys sang lead on their various hits. Each having a distinctive voice. Very impressive band.

[@firedoc5]

It takes a special kind of musician to be a lead singer/drummer like Don Henley. The guitarists are Don Felder with the dual-neck guitar, Joe Walsh with the red bandana, Glenn Frey on the acoustic guitar, and Randy Meisner on bass. Each one can be lead singers on any given day of the week which makes the Eagles a special kind of band, and one of the greatest.

[@kelleewolfe2834]

I'd like to suggest Joe Walsh, Rocky Mountain Way.. its excellent!!!

[@davidlestervoice8914]

Welcome once again to the fabulous 70s! Love watching your expressions hearing this. The vocals were so tight with their whole repertoire! Don Felder and Joe Walsh on electric guitars in this collaborative solo/duet was something at the time was unheard of. 😊

[@danpals7678]

I heard this on the radio when it came out and bought the album the next day. 76 I think. My first album. I still love them. It's a very deep rabbit hole.

[@EricNess-sc3rh]

Saw them in 1975 as a warmup act for the Rolling Stones. Fabulous

[@nevinfischer5546]

Take It To The Limit live for the same time period (1977) is definitely your best bet. The band was incredible it literally had 4 guys who could and did sing lead and do it very well. Don Henley (this song), Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner and Joe Walsh. Randy Meisner sings lead on Take it to the Limit.

[@kelleewolfe2834]

Have you uncovered a really deep, awesome rabbit hole!!! Omg. I love the Eagles. I'm not even going to suggest a song because every one of them are great!!

[@steveg5933]

The best version of this song is the extended intro from the History of the Eagles tour. There is a video from their performance in Sydney Australia. Video was amazing, seeing it live later that tour, no words. I've seen them several times over years luckily with all of the original members still alive (if not on stage There is a song they used to do as a warm up exercise. It wound up being included albums & set lists. 7 Bridges Road. I can't reccomend it enough

[@johnwatrous8982]

The first of many times I’ve seen the Eagles was in Frankfurt in 1977. I was stationed there at Rhein Main AFB. Joe Walsh the guy with the bandanna had some great hits before the Eagles and Don Henley the drummer had many hits after the Eagles:

[@LarryLewis-nz1oy]

I saw them on the Hotel California tour sounded so great. As good or better than the album. Pure talent.

[@drcl7429]

Don Henley is the drummer. He went on to have a semi-successful solo career. My favourite songs from him are "Boys of Summer", "For My Wedding", "Everything is Different Now"

[@maggedo-x1s]

Red-bandana'd guitarist is Joe Walsh, & his song "Life's been Good" is his uniquely complex guitar+ playing with his cleverly humorous perspectives' hit, Emma! 😜👍

[@marvinsarracino116]

The Eagles are Legends! Great song. Listen to "I can't tell you why" or "Desparado" of Take it Easy" or "Witchy Women". Just to start with Emma! Thanks for sharing my friend!❤️❤️💛💛🦅

[@jamesbondbond8388]

This is a Masterpiece !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dagmar.6954]

This is the music I grew up on. The Eagles were a great 70's band with so many hit songs. They were known for their great harmonies. "Take It Easy", "Lyin' Eyes", "Witchy Woman", "Desperado", "Already Gone", "Best of My Love", "One Of These Nights", "Take It To The Limit", "New Kid In Town" etc. Before they went solo they were the back up band for Linda Ronstadt.

[@estoy1001]

And for you Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy fans, 'Journey of the Sorcerer' from One Of These Nights.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Only 2 members of the Eagles were members of Linda's band. 😊

[@jeffreymyers511]

I was a teenager in the 70's and grew up listening to them. They were one of the greatest. I love your channel, and the way move. Beautiful. If I'm not mistaken, Glen also sings their song Life in the fast lane.

[@vinniedixon1140]

Don Henley is one of the lead singing drummer GOATs. You need to be a talented person to sing and play drums simultaneously.

[@Immortalheart66]

Nothing sounds like a Gibson EDS-1275 Doubleneck guitar. That flourish when Don Felder is playing the upper neck sounds incredible. The instrumentation and vocals are top tier,…. Next level stuff. My favorite song,..then Stairway and Freebird!!! Loved your reaction on this one Emma!!! 🔥🎸😀✊✌️

[@klavierish]

The Eagles ,true legend American band

[@celtasnake]

Oh, nearly forgot, if you want to listen to some crazy harmonies by the Eagles, "Seven bridges road" is a must !!!!

[@RoGueNavy]

Absolutely! For me, it's their best song.

[@Singwith-Emmatoday]

OK! WIll do! thank you!😘

[@pianoekket]

Here's a few songs of them for you to check out :) Take It Easy Desperado Take It To The Limit Peaceful Easy Feeling Tequila Sunrise New Kid In Town Life In The Fast Lane The Best Of My Love One Of These Nights Lyin' Eyes Witchy Woman Love Will Keep Us Alive Seven Bridges Road Heartache Tonight And to top it off, since we are coming up on Christmas, they did make a really beautiful christmas song called "Please Come Home For Christmas" Enjoy!

[@targetedfitnesswithrosemarie]

Drummer is Don Henley, as a solo artist check out BOYS OF SUMMER.

[@LonghopeBro-ju6jl]

Desperado is a good one from Henley's time with the Eagles. End of the Innocence is another good one from his solo career which he co-wrote and performed with Bruce Hornsby

[@hadrenspicer9035]

Don Henley drums.don Felder 12 string guitar.joe Walsh rhythm guitar.glen fry acoustic guitar.randy meiser bass. Maybe the greatest group of talent on stage at one time ever

[@donrobinson1927]

Best guitar duet ever! Great, great band to see in concert! They're currently playing a residence in Vegas! Go see them while you still can!

[@Singwith-Emmatoday]

Oh Yeah! Love it!!!

[@thatguyinthechat66]

They all sang incredibly good! I saw them live 12 years ago, it was amazing. Desperado is a super beautiful song by them. I could name so many but i'm just gonna go with that one lol

[@rademilf]

Hi Emma, ​​I see that your emotions are better now. I am happy when I look at you and see your lightness and smile. I love your hands for their naturalness and the truth emanating from them. Keep it up. I bow low, greet you and wish you only the best

[@KenNPotter]

Great reaction, Emma! I saw them years ago in Toronto! Awesome concert! Cheers!

[@doorofnight87]

Best description I have ever heard of this song is that it is a 'negative yelp review with a guitar solo'. Loved your reaction and your analysis and insight into the singing and performances!

[@Mikelovesreactions]

Thank you for reacting to this. This was my favorite band when I was a teenager. The year that the Hotel California album came out was the first year that I could drive. I listened to all of it over and over in my car while driving. In my humble opinion Hotel California is one of the most iconic songs of all time. And the guitar work is THE most iconic of all time. The lead guitarists, Joe Walsh and, especially, Don Felder are way underrated.

[@rudigerschrodel7911]

One of the greatest songs ever written!

[@TheSeafordian]

But it's a copy.

[@stevesnow315]

For more of Don Henley (the drummer), "Desperado" would be a great example of his voice and songwriting prowess. 🤘😎❤

[@flip97gt]

They all take turns singing lead at the mic except for Don Felder. Joe Walsh, Randy Meisner, Glen Frey, Timothy B. Schmidt. All just as fantastic a singer as Don Henley.

[@TC_Smitty]

Eagles are one of my top three favorite bands. When my sister and I were very young, around 3 and 5, (around 1980) my dad had an 8 track of their greatest hits album. Mostly we listened to vinyl, the 8 track was sort of a special treat. We loved that tape. Also, I nearly spat my coffee out when you mentioned your goldfish memory.

[@nononobutyeah]

That's Don Henley dude. One of the best rock singers of all time.

[@dionysiacosmos]

Maybe it's a language problem, but other reactors, whose first language isn't English have talked about how beautiful this song is. While it is perfectly delivered, the song is about a man in fear for his life and soul. You can never leave because you can't leave an experience behind. You take it with you. Gothic, or disturbing, or haunting. It's not a happy song. Pull up the lyrics and listen. There's a whole, important aspect of this masterpiece.

[@alexharbison4411]

Love your reactions. Be careful with The Eagles, many people get a strike from their team of lawyers.

[@mikefetterman6782]

When I was a kid, mom and dad never allowed us to hear any music other than country, Elvis, and the Lawrence Welk Show. I visited my 6 year old neighbor in 1977 one day not long after Christmas to find his sister, Lisa, kneeling on the living floor inside their front door, planted in front of the HI FI stereo. The sounds I heard coming from the speakers was incredible. I remember saying to Lisa, "Is that ear magic?" This started my foray into rock. This song is metaphorically about someone going from adolescence to adulthood and not being able to go back to being a kid again, once you accept all these responsibilities. Don Henley is the lead singer for about 45-50% of the Eagles songs. EVERY MEMEBER is a lead singer, just like the Beatles.

[@matteoedwardes2876]

I really don’t have a fav member because they all did the writing, singing, and play the instruments. I love Randy for being actual an introvert but he is the high note for the harmonies. Also, he sings lead on Take it to the limit. I don’t think Randy was treated the way he should’ve been. RIP Randy. The guitar work by Felder and Walsh is legendary.

[@michaelavery6390]

One of my favourite songs of theirs is Take it to the Limit. Its a slow, smoochy number. Worth a listen 🎶

[@randyobrien2836]

Loved it when it came out and still do.

[@kendalton2115]

Excellent Emma!!!!

[@marcokrupke4543]

One of the best guitar solos in rock history.

[@henkebenke573]

I hope this video wont get blocked. This song/video almost always gets blocked. Great reaction Emma!

[@chrissmalley83]

We just have to count ourselves lucky to see it before Don Henley finds it.

[@henkebenke573]

@chrissmalley83 yes don should just leave them alone! The reactors are doing free PR for the group

[@williamcabell142]

Elvis, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and the Eagles! The music gods of the 50’s,60’s, and 70’s! In my humble opinion! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 When music was real! 🤷🏻‍♂️🙏✝️❤️🇺🇸

[@CharlesFarrell-x2i]

Even though the Stones ECLIPSE them all!!!!

[@jamesdalton8539]

My favorite all-time group, tied with Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble!!! Every member of the Eagles are in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame, not just for the Eagles but also their solo work as well as other groups...hello Joe Walsh ;-) Eagles greatest hits, 40+ years on, still today, one of the greatest selling Rock albums of all time!!!

[@SteveJustice-le7od]

This was my parents favorite band. This became one of my favorite songs of all time.Great job on your reaction Emma.

[@Alan-lv9rw]

I was at the only “Hotel California” concert at Madison Square Garden (NYC) in March 1977. It was the best concert I ever went to.

[@Marcus-p5i5s]

this was a great tour (1977). I also saw Lynyrd Skynyrd that year in concert

[@tjwsports]

The drummer is Don Henley. Listen to “One of These Nights,” “Wasted Time,” “Desparado,” “Victem of Love,” and “The Last Resort.” He and Glenn Frey are the main singers and song writers, but all the members had their moments, particularly Randy Meisner on “Take It to The Limit.’ Great songs by Frey are “Take It Easy,” “New Kid in Town,” “Lyin’ Eyes,” “Heartache Tonight,” and “Tequila Sunrise.”

[@Smittay-Sr.]

Several band members went on to have solo careers, and had hit songs. One of the guitarist, Joe Walsh, "Life's Been Good." The drummer, Don Henley, "Boys of Summer!" And the regular guitarist, Glen Fry, "You belong to the City!" All hits!!!!

[@orlandoochoada2242]

The Eagles have a lot of great songs, but the first song I think of when I think Eagles is "Hotel California". Similarly, when I hear the name Prince, I think "Purple Rain". I'm from Minnesota. Let's get some Prince. His version of "Motherless Child" is pretty good, as is his performance of "Purple Rain" from his 1985 Syracuse concert.

[@FeaturingRob]

Eagles are amazing! Legends! Before they were a band, many of them played as studio musicians and, most famously, toured with Linda Ronstadt in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Don Henley - Drums and Lead Vocalist (for this track and a majority of the others) Glenn Frey - (1948-2016) 12 string Acoustic Guitar and Backing Vocals (also a lead vocalist on other tracks by the band) Don and Glenn were the musical motor of the band. They also both had very successful solo careers. Glenn even dabbled in acting in shows like Miami Vice and movies like Jerry Maguire. Some great songs from their solo careers are: Don: The Boys Of Summer, Dirty Laundry, In A New York Minute, The End of the Innocence, All She Wants To Do Is Dance Glenn: The Heat Is On (theme to Beverly Hills Cop), Smuggler's Blues & You Belong To the City (both from Miami Vice) Co-Lead guitarists: Joe Walsh - Single-necked guitar with the bandana on his head Don Felder - Double necked guitar (12 string & 6 string combo) Don Felder came up with the music for the song and wanted to sing it. However, he didn't have the voice. While all of the guys have amazing voices that blend well for the harmonies, Don and Joe don't really have lead vocal chops. They are exceptional guitarists! Randy Meisner - Bass guitar Randy has a very high tenor voice, which he uses to great effect on the hit "Take It To The Limit." However, he never felt comfortable being the main singer.

[@albertsmith9315]

For another Eagles song, with different tone, different lead vocal, try "I Can't Tell You Why" with Timothy Schmitt singing... excellent voice, excellent song. Do official video for best rendering.

[@matthewcostello3530]

the bassist sings on Take it to the Limit, the drummer sings on his own in the songs The Heart of the Matter and Boys of Summer both really excellent also Age of the Innocence

[@davidstephens6462]

7 members through their original superstar phase. Don Henley_drums&vocals, Glen Frey(RIP)_guitar, vocals, keys, Randy Meisner, then Timothy B Schmitt _bass, Bernie Leadon, then Don Felder & Joe Walsh_Lead guitar&vocals

[@Dismembering_Man]

Rest in Peace Glenn Frey and Randy Meisner

[@celtasnake]

Don Henley at the drums. For other songs sung by Don, try "Wasted time", "The last Resort", "Desperado", "Victim of love", "Witchy Woman" ..... or one of my favourites, where you get to listen to more members sing as well, "Doolin Darton".

[@tonyharmon8512]

Me thinks the Lady doth love it too much. The only reaction possible with the Eagles. I had the pleasure of having Joe Walsh (the guitarist wearing the bandana) sit in with my band for about 5 songs one night. He was taking a break from a recording session in a studio just down the street. This was in his solo years between the James Gang and the Eagles. Great moment for a young musician (I was a HS student and the youngest in the band) at the start of his career. The Eagles was full of musicians at the peak of their creative years and they and all their solo works are a great big rabbit hole to jump into.

[@Roundtablist]

Don Henley (the drummer) had a huge hit (among many) called the Boys of Summer. Would love to see you react to that one!

[@kperry1969]

Classic rock 101 Desperado is one of my favorite albums ever, end to end. The Eagles are quintessential American rock. Thank you for the reaction.

[@matthewcostello3530]

the was the number one selling group in the USA for the entire 20th century and they started out with the two founders in Linda Ronstadt's backup band, their best of album went at least 18 times platinum

[@renatosampaiopsicanalise9667]

Best bands of history: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Eagles, Deep Purple, Supertramp, Creedence, Dire Straits, Gênesis and KISS. Hotel California for me top 10

[@maximusmorphine2418]

You forgot Robin Trower...

[@kroft6799]

I'm sorry but that's a questionable list, even though I like all of the bands. Floyd and Zep for sure, Queen, Eagles maybe.. Kiss a big no....I mean no Beatles, Stones, the Who, Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabbath, Rush, Yes, Cream, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, plus a few dozen others not even counting soul and r&b bands. But I guess we all have our preferences

[@renatosampaiopsicanalise9667]

@kroft6799 Uriah Heep too!

[@Mikelovesreactions]

In my comment I forgot to say that I'm really glad you were able to redo your channel. I love your reactions, both music and movies. You are right they all have great voices. But if you want to hear one of their most amazing songs check out Take it to the Limit with bass player, Randy Meisner, on lead vocal.

[@RonaldCanfield-m2r]

"Heart of the Matter" is another great one featuring Don Henley (the drummer).

[@Dismembering_Man]

yeah take it easy live 1977 is definitely something you should check out

[@castlew4162]

5 lead singers, so the harmonies are very rich (check out "Seven Bridges Road" live audio, especially a 5-track encoded one - e.g. DD5.1. 5 voices blending in your room.). This song is about the trap of California superficial culture of fame and fortune - "you can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave". Don Henley songs: "One Of These Nights" (mid-tempo), "Life In The Fast Lane" (rocker), "Best Of My Love"(ballad). Many more such as: "Last Resort", "Desperado", "Wasted Time". Glenn Frey songs: "Take It Easy", "Peaceful Easy Feeling", "Lyin' Eyes", "New Kid In Town", "Tequila Sunrise". Randy Meisner: "Take It To The Limit", "Try And Love Again". Timothy B. Schmit: "I Can't Tell You Why", "Love Will Keep Us Alive". Joe Walsh: "In The City" Don Felder: "Hotel California"(writer), "Victim Of Love"(writer, unreleased lead singer version).

[@snozbaries7652]

one of my earliest memories is jumping on my sisters bed listening to the eagles when I was 3 or 4 in the early 80's. that and ozzy's first album shaped my entire musical life.

[@martinmarenov7460]

Other songs sung by Don Henley are "One of These Nights", "Life In the Fast Lane", "Desperado", "The Long Run"

[@daveloboda1769]

Felder/Walsh together, stunning.

[@bossfan49]

I like Emma's Rock n Roll faces, and denim jacket. 😎🤘

[@masudashizue777]

I never knew how to feel after listening to "Hotel California." It's a song that's hard to react to, even to this day.

[@lawwdogg1digr]

Emma! You are so much fun! ❤

[@Singwith-Emmatoday]

Thank you 🤗😘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@BarryOstle-o8z]

hi emma loved your reaction, I love this 70's classic!!! 😍

[@Singwith-Emmatoday]

Me too!!

[@robertpearson8798]

The words “they stab it with their steely knives but they just can’t kill the beast” is supposedly a dig at the guys in Steely Dan with whom the Eagles had some sort of feud at the time. They must have resolved it because they were just recently on tour together.

[@BeBoe69]

Now you've finally heard my absolute favourite song ❤😊

[@Singwith-Emmatoday]

Oh, it’s so great song!!! I agree with you!!! ☺️☺️☺️🎶🎶🎶

[@robertgomori7913]

Timothy B Schmidt "I can't tell you why".

[@doobiedave9686]

One of the best concerts that I have ever been to was the Bicentennial concert at the old Tampa Stadium on July 4, 1976 with the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, and Loggins and Messina. It was the 1st Eagles concert with Joe Walsh and it was incredible. 🤙✌️

[@Singwith-Emmatoday]

Thanks for sharing!

[@achuthramr5767]

The greatest rock song of all time... I was 23 when this song came out in the college.. The days of the 33 1/3 RPM..LP ies & the record players... cassettes were just coming out.. Don Healy is a great singer & drummer...he has lots of his own solo song singing..latter Love ❤ from Madras ( Chennai ) TN Southern India 🎉😂

[@kendalton2115]

Don Felder composed most of the music, while Don Henley wrote the awesome lyrics. Don Felder is a guitar genius who doesn't get the credit he deserves, imo. Thanks for your respected reaction, Emma.

[@Singwith-Emmatoday]

Thanks for that!

[@christianmarcel7995]

some recommendation from the eagles live' 77 - Red Bandana Guy (Joe Walsh) Rocky Mountain Way - Acoustic Guitar Guy (Glenn Frey) Lyin' Eyes and New Kid in Town and Take it Easy - Drummer (Don Henley) One of These Nights and The Best of My Love - Bassist (Randy Meisner) Take it To The Limit

[@leisastalnaker3790]

I was 17 when this came out. Besides Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors, this was the other big album that year.

[@mjtribby6328]

If you were there in 1977, you would have definitely had on a denim jacket. Excellent choice of fashion for your reaction. Oh, do not forget the bellbottom jeans as well.

[@DennisGayhart-s3t]

Don Henley (the drummer) put out a solo song Boys of Summer that's pretty good.

[@theybuythemforthegum3670]

They can sing

[@KathyBlackwell-xk9rg]

And they all can sing lead! Linda Ronstadt put this band together!

[@cliffburleson6707]

Check out the song, life in the fast lane by the eagles

[@williamjones6031]

The dual guitars at the end make it worth the wait.🤩🤩

[@chipurBillWhite]

Great reaction to a great number. Ty…

[@SweetJennyFan]

Doesn’t get much better. ❤

[@brentb9255]

Well Emma the Eagles are playing here in Las Vegas. They have a residency at the Sphere for just a few more months. Planning on seeing them myself.

[@EricNess-sc3rh]

Interrupt anytime. Always enjoy your intelligent insights.

[@realbworld]

Beautiful.

[@martinmarenov7460]

You should also react to "Take It To The Limit" from the same concert.

[@Duck-D-Koi]

Emma if you truly have never heard this song it makes me sad. They are the most successful American Rock band of All Time

[@RoGueNavy]

As great as this one is, I can't wait until you hear them do "Seven Bridges Road". Some of the tightest vocal harmonies ever recorded!
