Randy Meisner - Gotta Get Away (Live On Fridays)

[@patbrennan6572]

The Eagles needed Randy more than Randy needed the Eagles. Fantastic song.

[@rebeccahooper7968]

Rest in peace ❤

[@sheilamorgan3845]

So true. Timothy B. Schmidt was ok. But could not bring what Randy brought to the group.

[@sheilamorgan3845]

His kids needed him more than the Eagles and this band did. He had nothing to do with them. Such a shame.

[@angelamaier-yq6ql]

Why did Randy Meisner have nothing to do with his kids, something must have gone really wrong 😮😢

[@LindaHumphrey-rs8df]

How sad is that….

[@DonRRicks]

Randy Meisner, gone but never forgotten 1946-2023

[@davefawcett]

I agree but , Timothy was a pretty good replacement...and they did pretty good..

[@reneeheknowsmyname6771]

Never forgotten!!

[@SandraWarren-w4r]

We all feel the same way…i love seeing Randy singing in his videos…Nov 16, 2024 I’m 80 years old and still rocking with Randy! Anyone else?

[@DMorgan72]

Hey, Sandra. Nov 17, 2024 This old lady still loves watching Randy's videos, too. He was an extraordinary talent. There are moments in his videos where he seemed to be the cutest guy on the planet. ❤ All his talents, that voice, that face, the hair, the smile and that head tilt. So swoon-worthy! Odd thing...we've seen him wear this jacket a few times. He must have loved wearing it-it was probably comfy.

[@SandraWarren-w4r]

@ thanks for the reply, and one of my favorite utube videos of Randy is when he sings Midnight Flyer…he sings solo and you can actually see and hear him playing his bass guitar …he is adorable in this one…hope you can find it! In most of the songs by the eagles his bass guitar is drowned out by the other guitars or the drums. This one is a keeper and I play it often! 😍

[@ellenfransen1825]

I often hear the bassline of Randy... I like that musicline....With earpieces in and putting the music loud you can hear in every eagles song his bassline. Particularly when the song is written by Randy.❤ And I am nearly 73

[@timyarbrough6356]

I'm soon to be 70. I've researched all of the Eagles. Likes, dislikes, personalities, weaknesses, strong points, who did what, where, and when. etc etc. if you judged the Eagles on a point system, Randy racks up the most points. By far, the best vocals. Best personality. He could play both lead guitar and bass guitar very well. Best song writer of the group. He excelled, even though the two asses of the group(Henley & Frey), were constantly manfacturing trouble toward him. They probably felt threatened by him. RIP Randy Meisner.

[@incognito595]

Making me cry every time. He was such a good guy. And, to die for. WE LOVE YOU, RANDY, AND MISS YOU. ALL THE TIME.

[@edearly7415]

Really the best Eagle, his voice, by far the best. Randy Meisner was my favorite.

[@roseyrosey739]

Love Randy’s voice.beautiful.

[@mariastewart6290]

You said it, he was the best Eagle! His shyness, his smile, the little tilt of his head, his looks, and his beautiful voice will never be forgotten. I just hope he has peace at last. I dearly miss him.

Such a great voice Randy and a beautiful song too.

[@Gilm0urWaters]

Sad sad day, loved Randy.

[@dianeroach6301]

I just ❤️ loved him❣️ Loved his voice too beautiful and God given talent. He was the best of the Eagles. I keep thinking after him basically being pushed out, I wonder how many songs we havent heard that he wrote. I 🙏 pray he REST IN PEACE. Hes definitely going to be missed 😔

[@shaykatz5648]

Randy I just wish you'd known how many fans you had! You were the best of The Eagles. Such a sweet manner you had. RIP Randy ❤

[@DMorgan72]

Randy and Timothy were alike in many ways, beside being the bass player, high voice, songwriters.

[@shaykatz5648]

@DMorgan72 Plus they had both been in Poco at different times. Randy after the Eagles. & Timothy before the Eagles.

[@ErinRadke-lr5tn]

One of my favorite Randy songs.

[@incognito595]

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONG. LOVE RANDY.😢😢😢😢

Randy Meisner WAS AN EAGLE!!!!! One of the best voices. “Take it to the limit” is one of the best songs ever sung. RIP RANDY

I love you Randy Meisner. You're the Greatest. RIP Randy ❤.

[@debmarie55]

The more I listen to this song, the more I like it. Not sure why it didn't get more airplay when it was released. I do believe the record industry was not kind to Randy. Rest in heaven, sir, I am enjoying your songs now.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Cause he had to go it alone

[@jesustoro9489]

Rest in peace Randy... May God bless you and your beloved ones. Thank you for the Music

[@timjohnson8820]

This guy was a real talent. Just imagine if Glenn Frey and Henley were not such arrogant a-holes how much great music the Eagles could have created with Randy and Felder still in the group.

[@marijorieholoway6783]

Agree

[@monicab6403]

It's a shame

[@murraydean2371]

Absolutely agree, the Eagles lost a big part of their sound when Bernie and Randy left.

[@jossip1171]

I totally agree.

[@barrybechtel8553]

I personally saw Randy with the Eagles and his solo act and he was always GREAT!!!!

[@ronaldleblanc1511]

This is the first time i've heard Randy Meisner since he left the Eagles! I can hear in his voice and lyrics that he is/was way much more of the Eagles sound than he was given credit for! Rock on Randy!

[@Breda-z4k]

Randy, I listen to your beautiful music every day. RIP my darling.

[@winnykooyman4851]

He has no ticks, he just make moves musicians always do, he always looks friendly smiling, love it.

[@winnykooyman4851]

Such a nice and friendly and Good looking man Randy ❤was. He treated the musicians around him also so respectfull!. Love that man.

[@joylewis8929]

Amazing singer!!!!can't help but love him and his music and band!!rip randy ❤️ you were one of a kind ❤️💙♥️✨️💖💕

[@christinekay3254]

I have watched this many many times. There are alot of comments about the lady who is singing with him and are they in a relationship. I can see where everyone gets the impression she adores him but I see it completely different. Just a thought: We all know he has stage fright and 9 times out of ten sings with his eyes closed. As you can see in the video he has developed a few ticks both facial and his left shoulder raising, possibly to off set the stage fright. I think she is a source of grounding for him and by keeping eye contact he can look at her and remain present during the performance. Near the end, she completely looks away and he finishes the song. In any case, it's so nice to see him enjoying performing.

[@earthlingsareinsane7193]

Actually, Randy has always had this cute thing going on with his shoulders, especially, when he was playing his bass guitar. This guitar is bigger than his bass,so his movements are a little different But, anyway,go to P Noe video of Randy singing Playing In The Deep End. It shows quite a few scenes where he's getting into the music and playing his bass guitar. He's so adorable in those scenes when he moves his shoulders.

[@michellemachet-philip2801]

I like your take on that. Just adore that man❤

[@waynelawson5707]

In spite of being prone to a bit of stage fright, he was a veteran performer and a grown adult...I'm sure he didn't need a mommy to hold his hand onstage. The Lady singing backup was there purely because of her vocal talent, not as emotional support, I'll wager.

[@DragerPilot]

Thank you Doctor Phil Freud.

[@ronaldleblanc1511]

So True! I hear it now!

[@marieweiss1634]

I read an interview where he said he had an operation on his vocal chords which meant he lost the highest end of his range.

Randy was always my favorite. Skilled bass player, and such a resonate voice that hung out to the last breathe.

[@joereich686]

One of the most underrated artists of the 20th century.... Randy Meisner has always been a very gifted musician. In my opinion my favorite Eagle. Outstanding writer, singer, guitarist, and bassist. Thanks for your contribution to the soundtrack to our lives, Mr. Randy Meisner. You’re greatly appreciated. Love this whole album from 1980.... Start to finish!

[@annamckenzie785]

You sound great you have always had a beautiful voice.

[@joereich686]

@Ron Nielsen - I couldn’t agree more. 🙂👍🏻

[@ronaldgodfrey2942]

Loved to have met him. Seemed like a very Good Man!!

[@stanwagner4788]

He was. He and I are from the same home town. In the early 60's he was in a local band. I remember how good he was even back then. Everyone could tell he was a special talent. And he was very shy and humble and yet he became a superstar. RIP Randy... everybody back home still love you!

[@steveresa2342]

The Eagles was my first real concert, but by that time, The Long Run tour was Timothy Schmidt's debut, and I never really cared for his contribution. Randy Meisner is a treasure, and one of the finest facets of the Eagles' history. I loved this.

[@Ishbilli]

Rest In Peace, Randy. Thanks for that beautiful voice and the soundtrack of my life!

I hope he see all of the reviews too! Great song!

[@stephentravis6127]

A member of two of the most influential band of our time, Poco and Eagles, pretty impressive. He is missed, a true generational voice, my favorite Eagle.

[@geraldmclaughlin5709]

Vaguely remember this, and hearing it on our local top 40 rock station. I remember hearing that he had left the Eagles. Then one night he shows up in a bar in Northern Nebraska, playing with a local bar band. I recognized him immediately, but other people there didn't believe me, that he was one of the eagles. Couldn't get close to him, he had these HUGE guys doing security for him. Sad part was he didn't play any eagles music at all. Me and my friends drank lotta Jack Daniels that night, didn't even get to talk to him. He's from Scottsbluff Nebraska, bout 50 miles from where we saw him that night. From what I understand he had moved back to Nebraska from LA for awhile, eventually going back to LA . Great old school song though! 🙂💯

[@sandrawarren5303]

I just love seeing him singing and looking happy! His talent really shows through here! RIP Randy. ❤

[@billschnake6378]

Yes boys and girls an actual real live tv performance with a real band. The mix is simply great!! Love the song since it first came out and I was playing guitar in bands. Randy was always and still remains my favorite from The Eagles. Love this.

[@rhealajoie2204]

That's why Henley and Frey pushed him out. He was so sexy, devastatingly handsome and genuinely sweet. And he could sing like an angel. I was one if those slim girls who adored him!!

[@lornathomas6269]

Marty Albright. It would have to be a double ,triple or even bigger cd.

[@samstevens7172]

Marty Albright I’m not sure Randy’s best would fill a cd. I love the guy, but the reality of his catalogue is what it is. That is, if you’re looking to sell millions. My favorite probably wouldn’t make your list. And vice versa. It’s ironic he was uncomfortable in the spotlight, and then had to front his own band. Seemed super nice, one of my favorite singers, bass players and Eagle. But if the record companies could have made a buck, they would have. And, BTW, I have his solo albums on vinyl. So I think I’m a fan.

[@samstevens7172]

SouthVA 757 I certainly agree with you regarding Linda. Although what little I’ve found on their few collaborations, not sure if it would go anywhere. But Randy and Andrew Gold in her backing band together would be something to see. Also check “ Black Tie”, I think they have one song on YT, “Learning (or Playing) the Game. I could make my Randy’s greatest hits and get a single CD out of it, but have my doubts about its mass appeal. E.g., one if not my favorite Randy song is “Is itTrue” from On the Border. Doubt many could hum that off the top, but it’s a favorite of mine. I have seen the Richard Marx and Timothy B TTTL, and the others out. Thanks for the response and info!
