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

This is for sure one of the most iconic rock songs of all time.

I agree with you

[@FantasyRPGSimp]

I consider it one if the greatest songs ever in general. Top 5 for me

[@lanpartyanimal5215]

Unfortunately they pretty much ripped off the melody from Jethro Tull's "We Used To Know". Look up the history...

[@stephenreiner1523]

Everything is perfect, the harmonies are insane. Everything about this song is perfect absolutely perfect.

[@sunshi1583]

Love The Eagles “take it easy”! Everyone in the band is a lead singer!! So much talent on one stage!! 💜

[@surfeit5910]

Every single member of The Eagles was also a singer. These guys really didn't slack off when it came to their vocal work! Take a listen to Seven Bridges Road if you want a sample of all of them singing and harmonizing perfectly. And then when you want to be absolutely blown away by a single vocalist, watch Queensryche - Take Hold of the Flame, live. I mean it... Queensryche. Your ears will never forget that vocalist once you hear him!

[@leetroy3129]

Please listen to Life In The Fast Lane. The dude playing the guitar in the red bandana is the legendary Joe Walsh! ✌️❤️🤘

[@blainebourgette6030]

Seven bridges road is an awesome song with perfect vocal harmonies. One of my favorites

[@barbarino2000]

So many amazing Eagles songs. So many singers in the band.

[@williamkraft5574]

The 70s and 80s were the best years for songs that will continue to be played on the radio for decades to come. I hear it every day. Today's music can't compare with, lyrics, the thought process and pure talent.

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

Those can sing and play. The harmonies are unbelievable. You will, like everyone, love all of their songs. They are arguably the most talented all around band in rock history.

[@scanspeak00]

Don Felder's feel on the guitar is really something special. He's one of my favourites of all time.

[@anatos1722]

its so smooth,its like alien music sort of,not Pink Floydishly kind of way,but Dawid Bowieski kind of way.... i always called Eagle,Shepard Alien Rock

Never realized how elegant yet controlled the two lead guitars were. Keeping it simply to create a memorable tune!

[@KarlMaldensNose]

Thought the same thing when watching.

[@TonyPucci11]

The drummer whose voice you really liked is Don Henley (he’s from Texas). The Eagles went through a period, starting in the 80s, when a lot of members released solo albums, and Don had a huge hit with “Boys of Summer”. I always loved that song, and it’s the first one I thought of when you asked for recommendations about songs he sings…highly recommend!

[@bumperu]

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

[@gericko]

Both the guys trading off on the solos as well as the drummer all had solo careers as well outside of the Eagles with many solo hit songs. Truly the definition of a super group in reverse. A band that when they went huge, spun off 3 solo artists after the band broke up, who each had hit albums of their own. Then in the last decade or so they all got back together again.

[@gunnarr9882]

This is a Don Felder vs Joe Walsh stage fight

Don Henley sings the song. In his solo phase he had worldwide success with The Boys of Summer. I really like the way you describe the songs and pay attention to their voices. A personal note, you are a very attractive woman.

[@OriginalVenomZA]

I'm from the last of Gen-X and I remember this song as the first song, I could sing along to on the way to a camping trip with my parents. This song resenates in my heart.

[@LorcrystNySell]

Ah, The Eagles. ALL of them are incredibly talented, and while this song is iconic, they have much more goodness in their catalog. If you're up for a deep dive, you'll end up in heaven several times !

[@splitimage137.]

The guitarist wearing the bandanna is JOE WALSH. He started his career by replacing TWO guitarists for the JAMES GANG (Funk #49, The Bomber, Walk Away), then he started BARNSTORM (Turn To Stone, Help Me Through the Night; Rocky Mountain Way) and then he joined THE EAGLES, along with the other lead guitarist, Don Felder, to give them a more rock feel. Joe has also done a lot of solo work (LIfe's Been Good, A Life of Illusion, The Confessor). If you want to hear the singer's voice again, I recommend an early song of theirs, WITCHY WOMAN... as his voice matches the lyrics perfectly. "Raven hair, and ruby lips, sparks fly from her fingertips...." AND Joe met the sister of Ringo Starr's wife (Marjorie Bach, sister to actress Barbara Bach) and so Joe and Ringo are now brothers in law. They did a good song for Ringo called POSTCARDS FROM PARADISE, which includes a lot of Beatles song titles in the lyrics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZayh3WHjb-Xqrc

An amazing performance of an amazing song. IMO, Hotel California is America's Stairway to Heaven. There aren't many truly magical bands, but the Eagles were definitely one of them.

[@caveman3021]

This song never gets old! Some of these guys started out as backup singers for Linda Ronstadt before they went on their own and formed the Eagles 🦅

[@mikegraves3497]

Grew up on the Eagles - when you can’t download their music on iTunes it shows you how influential this band was. This song was and still is great for sunset while on a boat in the middle of a lake in the south United States.

One of my fav groups and songs, just a lot of memories attached. Glad you heard it.

[@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. 😊

[@joemasters2270]

This song and Don Henley's solo "The Boys Of Summer" are 2 of my favorites.

[@steverobinson8214]

The Eagle’s live album is in my opinion the best live album ever! The talent in that band is other worldly

[@THOMMGB]

Hi Emma! I live in the Los Angeles area and was fortunate enough to see the Eagles in concert about a year and a half ago. They started off the concert with Hotel California. This concert was them playing all their biggest hits as a group and as solo artists. It was so much fun. - Thomas Also, two live concert performances you would enjoy are the Eagles singing Seven Bridges Road and John Denver singing Thank God I’m a Country Boy. Excellent performances.

[@rmweidner7596]

The Eagles performed a near-acoustic version of "Hotel California" (the bass guitar was still electric, but everything else was acoustic) on MTV back in 1994. It's absolutely worth listening to, as it's phenomenal!

[@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.

[@captainkangaroo4301]

I saw them on this tour in Minneapolis (Bloomington) at the old Met Stadium. Severe thunderstorms, tornado warnings, heavy rain, but the band played on. We cut up pieces of the infield tarp and used it as rain gear. In those days security never searched people so we had pocket knives. I recall Pablo Cruise and Steve Miller were the opening acts. I also seem to remember something about purple microdot. Ah, the 70’s.

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.
