The performance on Hell Freezes Over is better than this one. This one is close to perfection the other one just is.

This same night Randy Meisner (their Bass player) sung "Take it to the Limit" and its probably the best version ever, of my fav. Eagles song.

[@metalmark1214]

I was going warn you about Don Henly and his 60 people crew scouring the internet. Even though the Eagles have great music I'm at the point of saying F the Eagles and Henley. I won't listen to them.

[@blueeyedraven396]

As a former drummer, you have no idea how incredibly hard it is to sing while you play. Even without singing, you're doing 4 or 5 things at once. It was hard enough for me to keep from rushing as I played. Don Henley was amazing.

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

I actually covered this song myself and the beat to this song isn't that bad when it comes to the singing

[@Veaseify]

Levon Helm said the key is to start a vocal phrase when you aren't hitting anything :)

[@billc.5861]

I’m also a drummer who’s been playing for many decades, I can play this song but if I was tasked with singing it that would turn into a train wreck, besides I have a crappy singing voice . Ha ! Bless you guys who can do it. I’ll sing along here & there but to fully do the entire song Yikes ! His brain juice and coronation is working overtime. Keep playing guys

[@kevinvernon5851]

It's called a double neck guitar, it allows the performer to change from 12 string to 6 string quickly as Don Felder was using in this video.

[@duanetelesha]

Yes, Led Zepplin live version Stairway to Heaven Jimmy Page has a great solo on the 12 string. My first exposure was the Byrds, Mr Tamborine Man, Roger McGuinn, love the sound!

[@briankerr2628]

I believe, in this case, he had a capo on the top neck which he played at the beginning of the song, and the rest of the song was played on the bottom neck.

[@mattlefebvre123]

That guitar is needed since the song changes keys 7 times!

[@jimlimbu]

​@@briankerr2628 if you listen or look at the video you can see he uses both necks during the entire song not just the intro

[@naro818]

Right. He plays the intro and more acoustic parts on the top neck 12 string and the distorted parts and solo on the bottom neck 6 strings

Don Henley was a most underrated drummer. This showed how good he actually was. This also showed you why The Eagles were a hit for so many years.

[@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.

[@richardcramer1604]

Speaking of going solo, after their break-up they all had pretty good solo careers, particularly Don Henley (the singer/drummer).

[@Funboi68]

This is what California sounded like in the 1970’s they are the sound of California

[@scoobysnacks]

Probably one of the best songs ever written and performed. Their harmonies were always spot on. The song is actually about the dark side of the music industry.

[@rorybisson756]

if you've ever wondered what two guitarists sharing 1 brain cell looked like, it's Don Felder and Joe Walsh. these two are just so in sync playing together it's unreal and it's like this on EVERY SONG.

I remember seeing the Hotel California tour in Frankfort Germany while in the army around 1977. I went on to see them a total of 4 times. ALWAYS a fantastic show. Watching them in 1977 I remember watching them thinking there's someone up there who hasn't been with them before. I soon figured out it was the great Joe Walsh. I was thrilled.

My favorite live version of this song was the 1998 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction performance. They are all 20 years older and haven't lost one bit of their passion. My favorite comment on KZbin on that performance was "When you see that your grandpas are way cooler than you." Classic.

It seems the older this song gets, the more liked and respected it becomes. The double-neck guitar is a combination of a 12-string which has a more jangly sound as in the introduction, and a 6-string which the lead is played on.

The music was written by Don Felder (White Double necked guitar) and Don Henley left the Whiskey-a-gogo club in LA, drunk one night and drove all the way to Needles, CA to find some peyote. On the way he wrote the lyrics, passing by desert hotels and contemplating his life. Henley says this is about "Someone losing their innocence, going from adolescence to adulthood, and not being able to go back" " Once you accept the responsibilities of adulthood, you can never regain that childhood innocence. " He loves that fact that hundreds of other meanings have popped up for many people. " Just a simple song about growing up."

The Hotle California is a Halfway House for the Rich and Famous. They go There to clean themselves of Substance Abuse and Alcoholism. "Stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the Beast." The (Beast) is their (Addiction) they cannot control. "You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave."

I came on here to say the same thing. Eagles are rabid with banning their material on KZbin. Reactions, beware!

[@beatleschick1000]

Yes, this one is a perfect rendition and there is another one out there. That’s my favorite song of theirs that gets blocked, blocked and blocked. I can’t stand on Henley for that. I also blame Glenn Frey before he died. It’s just plain greed. But I do love their music the one I’d love you to hear & react to is Take It To The Limit, live and I believe the same concert. Bass player, Randy Meisner plays and sings this song, but he and the two founders Henley & Frey didn’t get along and shortly after the perfect concert I’m talking about, Randy and Glen Frey came to physical blows, and Randy left. Randy was very shy and didn’t like the spotlight. take it to the limit was the usual encore, and he was afraid he could not hit the high notes that night. Frey kept on him and on him until they physically fought and Randy not long after 😢. Noone can sing it like Randy Meisner did. Joe Walsh is also a favorite because he’s such a cut up & so talented! joe is the one in the bandanna and Randy Meisner, my favorite because he is so humble, talented and kind is in this video too, on the far left with the long dark hair. If you can find take it to the limit live from i think this same concert, Randy will be wearing a light plaid shirt.Please try to do it. It’s strong with blocking but it’s even a more perfect song than this one played in concert. I just want so many people to know about that song and Randy’s beautiful voice so I try to get as many people as I can to react to it Love your channel!

The singer/drummer is Don Henley, and he is the drummer with the best singing voice in all of rock music. He is also a world-class songwriter, with dozens of hits that he either wrote himself or co-wrote. Including this song (Hotel California) -- it was co-written by Henley (lyrics), Glenn Frey (lyrics) and Don Felder (music). Don Felder is the guy with the double-neck guitar, and Glenn Frey is the one playing an acoustic guitar. One of the unusual things about the Eagles is that they had four lead singers. In the lineup in this video, Frey, Henley, Randy Meissner (bass) and Joe Walsh (2nd lead guitar) all sang lead on various songs. You can pretty much count the groups who do that on one hand (Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Bangles, maybe a couple others).

Nope sorry; have to correct the record here. It was solely Don Felder who wrote the music for this song. It's well documented in their 3hr documentary called History of The Eagles, and on his tutorial video here where he teaches you how to play HC in B Minor. Henley came up with the lyrics and Glen Frey had nothing to do with the creation of this song. Here's proof right here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXyshWupZqanmNk

@@dunhill1 Here's what it says on Wikipedia: A demo of the instrumental was developed by Don Felder[12][13] in a rented house on Malibu Beach. He recorded the basic tracks with a Rhythm Ace drum machine and added a 12 string guitar on a four-track recording deck in his spare bedroom, then mixed in a bassline, and gave Don Henley and Glenn Frey each a copy of the recording.[14] Felder, who met the Eagles through his high school bandmate Bernie Leadon, said that Leadon advised him to make tapes of songs he wrote for the band so that other band members like Henley, whose forte is in writing lyrics, might work with him on finishing the songs they liked.[15] The demos he made were always instrumental, and on every album project he would submit 15 or 16 ideas. The demo he made for "Hotel California" showed influences from Latin and reggae music, and it grabbed the attention of Henley who said he liked the song that "sounds like a Mexican reggae or Bolero",[15] which gave the song its first working title, "Mexican Reggae".[16] Record World said that "a mild reggae flavor pervades the tune."[17] Frey and Henley were both interested in the tune after hearing the demo, and discussed the concept for the lyrics. In 2008, Felder described the writing of the lyrics: Don Henley and Glenn wrote most of the words. All of us kind of drove into L.A. at night. Nobody was from California, and if you drive into L.A. at night ... you can just see this glow on the horizon of lights, and the images that start running through your head of Hollywood and all the dreams that you have, and so it was kind of about that ... what we started writing the song about.[18] ======= End Wikipedia quote ======= So according to Wikipedia (which quotes Don Felder on the subject), the music was done by Felder and the lyrics done by Henley/Frey. Which is what I said in my original comment.

@@BobKovacs You just forgot to give credit to Don Felder for writing the MUSIC; we do know that Henley put lyrics to Felder's chord progressions. That's all. We wouldn't have Hotel California without both Felder and Henley. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

@@dunhill1 Read my original comment again... I said that Felder did the music. We're on the same page, sorta.

Maryland 1977, I was at this concert. It was a helluva showcase. I lived then just outside DC. I also saw Heart, Chicago, Boz Skaggs, Billy Joel, Bread, America, Three Dog Night, Juice Newton, Dr Hook and the Medicine Show, Simon and Garfunkel, Elton John, the Beach Boys, John Mellencamp, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and many more.

Thanks so much. I love this song!

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Our pleasure!

[@mikefixx7177]

This is and always will be a classic from the 70s, thanks for playing it. Its a masterpiece.

You need to take this video down. The Eagles are a TOUGH bunch about copywrite infringement and are known to take channels down. They are ruthless and a strike against your channel is guaranteed. Cheers.

[@infosecjeff]

Some of the best guitar jamming at the end is fantastic.

[@suerandellroberts]

The imagery in this song is metaphysical and magical. Fabulous performance!

[@DoctorPsilocybin]

Yeah be careful. Eagles reactions seem to be the main cause of strikes on people's channels

[@general-cromwell6639]

I have watched this video maybe a 1000 times. It never gets old and I see/hear/feel something new every time. The superior quality of riffing between those fellas is a once in a life time viewing...so rare. We used to call that stupid talent...because you can't have that level of talent..it's stupid. Of course, I'm way, way old... times changed. Anyways, glad to see your enjoyment. I know, you will watch this again. All the best to you and yours. Cheers.

[@robertholsapple2901]

Stairway to heaven with the duel neck shows the quaily of the Gibson in early rock too...I am glad you covered that one too. Great job to the both of you and your team.

[@JennyExline]

You tube will strike you for this video! Best take it down. Unfortunately.

[@austonbrady792]

First time on the internet, huh little buddy?

[@LordRahl1975]

Very risky reaction to do. Amazing song by an amazing band but Don Henley is very hostile to reaction channels. Some get away with it but many reaction channels get copyright strikes. Just a headsup that you may need to dispute it if they copyright strike you.
