Anything off of, 'The Allman Bros. Band Live At Fillmore East 1971. If you want the birth of Southern Rock mixed with Blues and a dollop of Jazz drizzled on top this is the album. If you want the cream of the crop then the 22:59 version of 'The Whippin' Post' is your piece Pecan pie with whipped cream. Here is the link. czcams.com/video/YSuoW8MTbZY/video.html The Whippin' Post I guarantee this will fry your face off, play at high volume only!!!!!!!
"In the Air" by Phil Collins czcams.com/video/IeDMnyQzS88/video.html and "Purple Rain" by Prince czcams.com/video/bm03wqLY3Nc/video.html are good performances as well.
The Eagles - they're all vocalists. They didn't really have a lead vocalist. Their harmonies are everything... and they way the guitars weave in and out of each other... Some of the greatest musicians of that generation on one stage - 3 of them went on to have great solo careers after they broke up.
Glen Frey and Don Henley are really the only ones to continue as soloists from the original. Randy Meissner's mental illness really set in, Bernie Ledon wasn't really into fame and the trappings. Joe Walsh had a solo career established before their mutual manager brought them together. Although Don Felder was largely responsible for the music of Hotel California, his success alone wasn't that great. Timothy Schmidt put out a couple albums but Henley and Frey had the most success
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", "Witchy Woman", "Desperado", "Already Gone", "Best of My Love", "Lyin' Eyes", "Take It to the Limit", "New Kid in Town" etc. Before they went solo they were the back up band for Linda Ronstadt.
Linda Ronstadt----hmmmmm someone I know has been asking you to go down the rabbit hole?? Do you have any idea who??? And more 70s eagles. Drummers who sing same time is Phil Collins of Genesis. Took over lead singer- a d stopped drumming. One of tbe great ones. Yes to play drums and sing is challenging...more 70s music . Must have more of my magical youth of music I still listen to 98% of the time. Top tier stuff
Funny you should say that everyone would know this guitar solo. I teach Sunday School and had a 5th grader who had started guitar lessons and really wanted to play for the class. We gathered all the kids from 1st grade to 5th grade to hear his solo. He started playing and all the old lady teachers were just smiling and swaying to the music but I knew the song right away. I sidled up to my assistant and whispered "Is that Hotel California?" and he whispered back, "yep". We rolled with it and had a great concert in church. We still laugh about that.
Joe Walsh is a guitar god, his sound throughout this song (and every one he plays) is singularly epic. Few guitarists have their own original sound that makes them immediately recognizable but he is one of them.
All the members of the Eagles could sing, so you may hear a different vocalist on another song. For instance, Randy Meisner sings lead on the song "Take it to the Limit" during this same concert. I think it was the best performance Randy ever did. Glen Frey and Joe Walsh also have a turn at lead. This was a phenomenal concert. I think the Eagles have purposely left the meaning vague, but it is generally understood to be a cautionary tale of the excesses that comes with success, especially in Southern California. That guitar solo at the end really soars when Joe Walsh joins in with Don Feldar. One of the best.
Queen Somebody to Love, Live from Montreal 1981 is an amazing live performance and drummer Roger Taylor sings as well as Freddie, Brian and John. It’s a classic live rock performance!
The Eagles were my favorite band growing up. They were just as good live as they were in the studio. Loved your enthusiasm for this video. Glenn Frey passed away in 2016, r.i.p. But the eagles have and still are touring commemorating the 1976 Hotel California album. From Sept. 9th through Nov. 25th 2022 in Canada and The United States.
Ringo Starr, the great Levon Helm, see the Last Waltz, Dave Grohl, Micky Dolenz the greatest female singer outside blues, Karen Carpenter , Ginger Baker.
I’m a 75 year old Grandma from Idaho, USA and thank you so much for your program I found tonight. I check on you every night because I love your BTS program if. I 💜 you!!!
Im 63 and this is from back when we had real music with real talent, real MUSICIANS no thumping bass talentless rap crap just excellent musicians songwriters and bands that have no comparison today - I still have my Hotel California LP album as well as another one or two Eagles albums
Look up the 1994 "Hell Freezes Over" live reunion concert - it aired on PBS & I think it's available. Like the name of the tour, the guys never intended to breach their artistic differences and get back together, but their vibe was still amazing, and it's so cool to see & hear how they still fit after time apart. Btw, I'm having such a good time watching you react to and appreciate "my" era's music! Thanks for making us 70's babies hear our songs again with fresh ears.
Have always loved The Eagles. They are on all my playlists and are just brilliant and just love the guitar work in this one. I'm 65 and never get sick of hearing bands from my hazy youth along with amazing current artists. Huge Dimash, John Farnham fan just to mention a couple. So many talented ppl bring so much joy to the world ♥💕
One of the best. They are from my time. We oldtimers had the best bands. Might want to react to Desperado or Seven Bridges Road. Drummer/vocalist - you HAVE to react to Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight Live.
Fleetwood Mac Ahhhhh my very first concert! Oh my gosh! They were incredable! Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie were also incredible on the duo's they did. Loved this, nostalgia!
The Eagles aren't just awesome artists, but professionals to the core. The have always held themselves to an extremely high standard in every facet of their work. Live, studio, vocal, instrumental, and song quality. They do everything the very best they can. And wow. Total quality.
As others have noted, Phil Collins is the touchstone for drum-playing vocalists. Also, the backing (and sometimes lead) vocals from the drummer in Queen are classic.
I was a teenager in the 60’s and music during those years was so awe inspiring. New bands and sounds every week on the radio. Bands toured a lot and so the fans had more connection with them. I saw a lot of concerts, my very first being Sonny and Cher in 1971 👵🏼☮️❤️🎸
Funny story .. Saw them live in Hershey, PA. Started off and it was soooo perfect. I got furious. It was the age of Milli Vannili ( or however you spell it). I looked at my friend and said “they are lip syncing .. they are fucking lip syncing!” And then Joe hit a clunker chord. Wrong horrible chord. Glenn could not stop laughing. He tried to harmonize but was sputtering with laughter. Best concert moment of my life. Jumped up and down screaming “It’s live It’s live!” I enjoy your unbridled joy whilst making your videos! Sending love from Vermont, Mama Bee
Another couple of great live performances are the Kennedy Center honors videos.....Adam Lambert singing Believe in tribute to Cher......and also Heart singing Stairway to Heaven in tribute to Led Zepplin. They are both mind blowing fantastic!
This is without a doubt so great, even though it has been played like a zillion times, still one of the most iconic songs from a handful of iconic tunes, from the modern music era. Start with an incredible melody, lyrics that are otherwordly, those voices, especially Don's, and the guitar playing (you're right, Walsh is a god), and you have a tune that few ever written can surpass. I think truly the Eagles are America's best homegrown rock band. Let's raise a glass to the 70s and to the southern California sound that decade made famous. Gotta go now, time to check out of my hotel...seems I can check out but I can never leave!!!!! PS-- It is one of the greatest of all time, BTW.
Saw them 1st concert of my life at Mile High Stadium/Denver , Colorado-with Linda Ronstadt… multiple lives since 1976. Stunning Live & especially with Joe Walsh ✌🏻🎸🎼 Driving thru the Calif desert listening to this …. Nothing better…… Well except Grandpa Joe & his grandson jamming….look it up.
I was there. Don't forget Pure Prairie League opened that. show, with guitarist Vince Gill, now with the Eagles. WOW!!! And a great solo career he had.
Glenn Frey said before they do their live shows they have a warm up which they call the circle of death where they sit in a circle and practice their harmony's so they are just perfect as they are on the studio albums
This is hams down in my opening one I of the best most iconic songs ever written/performed. It holds great meaning in my life. In iconic my life was a mess, I feared having to go home so I got an after school job and spent the rest of my time in my best friend's boyfriend garage listening to his band jam out! This song was their#1 cover and it had so much meaning to me then and now!! Thanks for the reminder of one of the few good memories of my teen years!
Phil Collins and of course Pau from “the warning” sing during drumming. Did see the Eagles life a couple of months ago. They are still amazing life. Thank you for this reaction.
Just thought of another artist to recommend - Joni Mitchell. There are videos of her performing one of her signature songs, Both Sides Now, when she was 23, just her and her acoustic guitar. Then around 2000, about 35 years older, Joni reimagined the song, transposed it down a third, as her voice had changed in those years, and set it with an orchestral arrangement. Both performances are great, and it's worth seeing them back to back to contrast them. To really appreciate Joni's musicianship, you should also watch her live performances of Amelia and Coyote from 1979, accompanied by an all-star jazz combo, including Pat Metheny on guitar and Jaco Pastorius on bass.
Always a treat seeing you react and especially to the music of my youth... After the "Beat" generation..the hippies came in so high..that the instruments had to talk for them..lol...that's when the electronic rock really started...most listening from home were just laid back and zoned out...yes I'm telling tales out of school... Have a wonderful day...there's too many great songs to recommend..👍😉...🌿🌿🌿
After hearing this live version a couple years back, I almost never listen to the studio version anymore, nothing against it, it's still a masterpiece, but this performance is so much more!
I listen to the live version of this song so much when the regular song plays I still say the live adlibs 🤣🤣 if someone put a gun to my head and said sing a song from start to finish without looking at lyrics this is one I'd be able to survive with! It's so good! The Eagles are definitely one of my all time favorites. Alll the members sing too! One of my favs from them "I can't tell you why" has the Bassist singing lead!
George Michael and Elton John singing "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" is vocally phenomenal. Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake at the 2015 CMA awards "Tennessee Whiskey/ Drink You Away" band, vocals, harmonies, energy... off the charts. Phil Collins Live "In the Air Tonight" one of the most iconic songs of my generation, with a mesmerizing performance. kd lang "Crying", MTV Unplugged, her voice is perfection. Chris Stapleton "Whipping Post" (Kenny Greenberg channel) covering The Allman Brothers song has amazing vocals, unbelievable band and Duane Allman in the audience giving a standing ovation!! Billy Joel Live "New York State of Mind" from (Old Grey Whistle Test) the vibe is sooo cool, his voice at it's finest, piano playing flawless, and a sax player that will blow your socks off. Meatloaf Live "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" like watching a play with the most outlandish lyrics for it's time telling a fantastic story with amazing vocals.
Man, regarding THE BASS: I have the Japanese mini-LP SHM-CD Edition of the Hotel California album, and, in HD sound, THE BASS (and EVERYTHING ELSE) is clear as a BOOMING BELL. It's a powerful sonic experience, EVERY TIME. Thank you for the passionate reaction. Yes, Don Henley is KNOWN for THE VOICE and THE DRUMS, both on in the studio and the concert halls. Glenn Frey, the co-founding member of The Eagles (along w/ Don Henley), for decades, referred to Henley's voice as, "The Golden Throat". According to Henley and Frey, the lyricists of the song, "Hotel California" (in its own Satanic way) is about the dark side of California (and Hollywood and the music business), and how everything that glitters isn't gold. Regarding Fleetwood Mac's live performances: "Silver Springs" , "Dreams", "Gold Dust Woman", "Rhiannon", "Big Love", "Over My Head", and "Landslide", all from THE DANCE (1997). England, We love you, From America. Thank you for giving Us The British Invasion...two times...The 1960s and The 1980s. P.S. I saw The Eagles live, in Summer 1996, during the HELL FREEZES OVER tour, on Long Island, NY. And, it was THIS GOOD, 20 years later. Quite possibly, the best concert I ever saw. Still have the tour souvenir t-shirt, and it still looks and wears great. P.P.S. The Eagles are VERY MUCH still performing, and still sound incredible, in their collective 70s. For proof, listen to: "One Of These Nights" live 2018, on CZcams. Henley and the boys still sound phenomenal.
My husband and I were at the Hotel California, it's in Mexico, we took all kinds of photos to bring home! Love your channel, best reacter ever! Keep up the awesomeness!
They ARE that great!!! Not just because of hearing this "recorded" live perfomance, but hearing them in person, in a freaking football stadium, in South Carolina, USA! They sound exactly the same, if not better!!! No auto tune necessary!!! They are the gods of harmony, and musicality!!!
The Eagles are still touring, just saw them in Winnipeg a couple months back. Some things have changed, but they are still the greatest live band I've ever seen (x3 '06, '08, '22)
Lol- legendary! A local radio station here in Dallas/Fort Worth was going off air. The last 24 hrs their DJ played this non stop. I HIGHLY suggest you watch Phil Collins In The Air Tonight live version...you'll be astounded
Greetings from Canada,from a Brit. You just popped up on my feed and I’m enjoying your reaction to these legendary musicians. I’ve subscribed to your channel. Try Phil Collins live version of In the Air Tonight next.
How many people know this song and have listened to it for years but never knew he played the drums too? Forgive me but they don't make musicians like this anymore, real talent and make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Such emotional feelings when you see the live performances of any great (legendary) groups/bands.
wooooo, it's all my youth ! I dance my first ever slow with a boy on this song . The boy was sticking me too much, and the song never ending, and I was screaming in my head "please, end this fucking song" Lol ! 😂 It's so vivace in my memory, but it was 44 years ago , I think. Nevermind, I still remember all the lyrics . Eagles, Scorpions, Queen, Dire straits, Van Allen, Mettalica, Led Zeppelin, but also the Bee Gees, Joe Cocker... I still love them all, and still listening to their music. It will never be old. Tha,k you for this live version, it's... perfect ! I have a great moment. I don't have specific suggestion, but I hope you will do more of these groups : Led Zepp with Stairway to heaven, Scorpions ( Wind of change or Still loving you), Deep purple (Smoke on the water original, or there is a version with Pink Floyd, Queen, and Black Sabbath, for a charity project, so great ! ) ; Santana ? It was so good. Soul sacrifice at Woodstock maybe, the drums get crazy ! , or Mariah mariah /or Black Magic Woman. Oh, always with Woodstock, Joe Cocker, "with a little help for my friend" of course, legendary ! And more recently, Disturbed, with the cover of Sound of silence, powerful and emotional.
I've got two performances that you need to see the live. Peter Frampton: Do You Feel Like We Do. The live version is the ONLY version of this song that needs to be seen. And if you are amazed by a drummer being the singer, check out Phil Collins doing In The Air live.
In my years I’ve seen many live shows. The best live shows are by those artists who are genuinely talented and don’t use the studio for enhancing their already pitiful talent. Simon and Garfunkel was probably one of the best live shows-2 pure voices and a guitar. No nudity. No stupid dancers. Just pure talent.
Another great live drummer singing is Levon Helms of The Band on Up On Cripple Creek in their Last Waltz tour. That concert, every song, is fabulous and featured the various artists they toured or played with over the course of their career. The Weight is especially good.
I’ve seen live versions of this classic 25 years apart and they sound just as good later as earlier. That classic guitar at the end cannot be beat. I love Don Henley singing this;not only are the lyrics great but the expressions he adds are priceless. Fleet wood Mac is great to check out live;I once had the privilege to see them. Anything off of Rumours is worth your time. I wonder if you’ve checked out any Queen live? Their performance at Live Aid 1985 is not to be missed.
great reaction mate, nice to see you, been in and out of my usual place, one of the greatest songs ever, and the solo. the whole world knows it. i will see you on twitch tonight, hog4life
Hey my friend! Glad you enjoyed it, came from your list! I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you are well? Take care my friend! Always good seeing you stop by on twitch
Peter Gabriel "In your eyes", Secret World Live; Dite Straits "Sultains of swing", Alchemy live; Phil Collins "In the air tonight", First Farewell Tour and Peter Frampton and Eric Clapton "While my guitar gente weeps". They're all awesome!
Dan Felder and Joe Walsh on guitar. Can never get enough! 💖 Glenn Frey's son often tours w/them now. His daddy would be so proud. Edited to say: A person close to the group told me the song was about the entire show biz experience. So excited when you make it, sign a contract & find out they now own you. He said you almost have to die or quit performing to get out from under their control. Managers, producers, publicists, etc, all have a part of what you can do & when & where. Some have escaped - Garth Brooks, Eagles, etc. And there's more freedom for independent creaters w/the internet. But others are still "owned" because of the money their people invest in them. (Thus all the copyright hits due to the companies rather than the singers. 🙄) I don't know if this explanation is true or not, but it definitely sounds reasonable.
That was one of my favorite live performances. Especially the end guitar duos between Don Felder and Joe Walsh. Epic!!! Next you have to see Dire Straits, Sultan of Swing, Alchemy Live. It is a must see!!!!
I'm 71 and the EAGLES is the only rock concert I have ever been to. They were AWSOME. I saw them at an inside venue and let me tell you, most of the concert goers were tokin them doobies. The gray pall in the bldg was so thick you could barely see the band. BEST NIGHT EVER!!!!!!!
The thing I always loved about Eagles is how incredibly tight those harmonies are, even live, it's incredible. So going through your videos I see some live ones that you need to see that have already been suggested and maybe already have done, but just a friendly reminder ~ Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight" Heart "Stairway To Heaven" (Kennedy Center Honors ~ full version) Stevie Ray Vaughan "Texas Flood" (Live at El Mocambo) Alice In Chains "Love Hate Love" (Live At The Moore) Pearl Jam "Black" (MTV Unplugged) Fleetwood Mac "Rhiannon" (Live On Midnight Special) Led Zeppelin "Kashmir" (Live Celebration Day) Honorable mention would be Stevie Nicks "Edge Of Seventeen" (Live 1982) I don't know how into her you are but it's my favorite version of that song, above the studio version. (P.S. I say "f*cking hell" all the time, my ex mother in law is British and she taught me some naughty things LOL)
I think we can all agree, this is one of the best songs of all time!

Anything off of, 'The Allman Bros. Band Live At Fillmore East 1971. If you want the birth of Southern Rock mixed with Blues and a dollop of Jazz drizzled on top this is the album. If you want the cream of the crop then the 22:59 version of 'The Whippin' Post' is your piece Pecan pie with whipped cream. Here is the link.
czcams.com/video/YSuoW8MTbZY/video.html The Whippin' Post I guarantee this will fry your face off, play at high volume only!!!!!!!
You need to watch Neil Pert’s drum solo in RUSH’s Frankfurt concert.
"In the Air" by Phil Collins czcams.com/video/IeDMnyQzS88/video.html and "Purple Rain" by Prince czcams.com/video/bm03wqLY3Nc/video.html are good performances as well.
@norman smithers Yes. Yes! This one. Brilliant
Another live performance with a vocalist who plays drums- Phil Collins In The Air Tonight LIVE HD.....awesome and legendary.
Yes definitely Phil Collins!! Solo and with Genesis
Here's the link: czcams.com/video/IeDMnyQzS88/video.html
Oooo a great recommendation and another I haven't seen!
fully agree...might wanna check AC/DCs Thunderstruck in Buenos Aires. The crowd goes insane!!!
Never fails, I can't watch/listen & not do the air drums!!!! This is definitely one we gotta see him do!
The Eagles - they're all vocalists. They didn't really have a lead vocalist. Their harmonies are everything... and they way the guitars weave in and out of each other...

Don Henley, one of the most easily recognizable voices in Rock. Great drummer, great singer. What else could a band want?
Great song writer
To answer to your question is, guitarists like that.
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", "Witchy Woman", "Desperado", "Already Gone", "Best of My Love", "Lyin' Eyes", "Take It to the Limit", "New Kid in Town" etc. Before they went solo they were the back up band for Linda Ronstadt.
The amount of awesome much around that time is mind blowing! And how much and how quickly music changed to over those generations
Linda Ronstadt----hmmmmm someone I know has been asking you to go down the rabbit hole?? Do you have any idea who??? And more 70s eagles. Drummers who sing same time is Phil
Collins of Genesis. Took over lead singer- a d stopped drumming. One of tbe great ones. Yes to play drums and sing is challenging...more 70s music . Must have more of my magical youth of music I still listen to 98% of the time. Top tier stuff
My dad sung me Desperado as a lulaby to my sister and I. I fell in love with The Eagles as a very small child. My dad is a huge fan.
Not only did they have great success in the Eagles but they also had great careers as single acts.
👍👍👍👍
Funny you should say that everyone would know this guitar solo. I teach Sunday School and had a 5th grader who had started guitar lessons and really wanted to play for the class.

The Eagles were never quite as good after Felder's exit!
Queen Somebody to Love, Live from Montreal 1981 is an amazing live performance and drummer Roger Taylor sings as well as Freddie, Brian and John. It’s a classic live rock performance!
The Eagles were my favorite band growing up. They were just as good live as they were in the studio. Loved your enthusiasm for this video. Glenn Frey passed away in 2016, r.i.p. But the eagles have and still are touring commemorating the 1976 Hotel California album. From Sept. 9th through Nov. 25th 2022 in Canada and The United States.
These guys were easily full artists and could stand alone. But when they came together it was magic.
One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE songs EVER!
love this performance.
Phil Collins is also a drummer and vocalist.
Completely agree! Great song! And of course! 💯
Ringo Starr, the great Levon Helm, see the Last Waltz, Dave Grohl, Micky Dolenz the greatest female singer outside blues, Karen Carpenter , Ginger Baker.
I’m a 75 year old Grandma from Idaho, USA and thank you so much for your program I found tonight. I check on you every night because I love your BTS program if. I 💜 you!!!
*ing
Programming *
After 45 years I still get goosebumps when I hear the guitar solo 🎸🎸 thank-you 🥰🥰
Im 63 and this is from back when we had real music with real talent, real MUSICIANS no thumping bass talentless rap crap just excellent musicians songwriters and bands that have no comparison today - I still have my Hotel California LP album as well as another one or two Eagles albums
I love Don Henley. His solo album The End of the Innocence is really good. I still listen to it.
If there was ever a perfect live performance…..this was it.
Highly recommend Chicago Live at Tanglewood, “25 or 6 to 4”, and “Frankenstein” by the Edgar Winter group. Amazing musicians on both.
Oh happy to 🤘💯
You have to but it has to be Tanglewood version.
Absolutely 🥰
THIS SONG!!! Easily one of the best songs ever made!😻
Recommending Phil Collins' legendary live performance of In the Air tonight.
Definitely seems to be a highly recommended one!
@@GOTGames Drumming vocalist as well.
Look up the 1994 "Hell Freezes Over" live reunion concert - it aired on PBS & I think it's available. Like the name of the tour, the guys never intended to breach their artistic differences and get back together, but their vibe was still amazing, and it's so cool to see & hear how they still fit after time apart. Btw, I'm having such a good time watching you react to and appreciate "my" era's music! Thanks for making us 70's babies hear our songs again with fresh ears.
Best live show ever in my opinion... I loved that they reunited and stated we never broke up we just took a 20 yr vacation...
Lucky enough to have seen them in concert twice in the 70s and they were awesome! One of my favorite bands of all times
Have always loved The Eagles. They are on all my playlists and are just brilliant and just love the guitar work in this one. I'm 65 and never get sick of hearing bands from my hazy youth along with amazing current artists. Huge Dimash, John Farnham fan just to mention a couple. So many talented ppl bring so much joy to the world ♥💕
Completely see why! Just incredible! 💯
You need to check out drummer vocalist Karen Carpenter. One of the best pop vocalist for her sustained notes and while drumming.
One of the best female voices I have ever heard.. She was amazing.. Such a sad story.. :(
Rainy Days and Mondays... czcams.com/video/PjFoQxjgbrs/video.html
More than happy to 💯💯💯
I love karen carpenter too. Her story is sad. So many sad stories for amazing musicians.
Karen had the voice of an Angel. Sorry we lost her at such a young age. I still miss her to this day.
One of the best. They are from my time. We oldtimers had the best bands. Might want to react to Desperado or Seven Bridges Road.
Drummer/vocalist - you HAVE to react to Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight Live.
Yes we did! The best bands, the best clothes..... the best decade (1970s)
I was going to tell him the same thing
Oh happy to check those out!! 💯💯
Fleetwood Mac Ahhhhh my very first concert! Oh my gosh! They were incredable! Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie were also incredible on the duo's they did. Loved this, nostalgia!
The Eagles aren't just awesome artists, but professionals to the core. The have always held themselves to an extremely high standard in every facet of their work. Live, studio, vocal, instrumental, and song quality. They do everything the very best they can. And wow. Total quality.
A.C.D.C. Thunderstruck live at River Plate! The crowd participation in this one is second to none, the energy is really flowing here!
AC/DC has some amazing live performances. You can't go wrong with them.
The great Linda Ronstadt had a major role in putting the eagles together as a band. Desperado with her song but she gave it to them
Sorry Don Henley and Glenn Frey wrote Desperado and wanted her to sing it.
I saw them live March 7, 1980 at the Oakland Coliseum, they played, “Hotel California”. IT WAS AWESOME!
THIS is the music I was listening to in H.S. I can’t imagine my life without it, can the same be said for today’s music, maybe, but doubtful.
One of the most famous recognized guitar pieces in music history...incredible
💯
Why do you say it is one of the greatest?... it is the greatest.
As others have noted, Phil Collins is the touchstone for drum-playing vocalists. Also, the backing (and sometimes lead) vocals from the drummer in Queen are classic.
I was a teenager in the 60’s and music during those years was so awe inspiring. New bands and sounds every week on the radio. Bands toured a lot and so the fans had more connection with them. I saw a lot of concerts, my very first being Sonny and Cher in 1971 👵🏼☮️❤️🎸
This one is just perfect. The song and your reaction. Very well done. Greatings from germany. Loving it
Funny story .. Saw them live in Hershey, PA. Started off and it was soooo perfect. I got furious. It was the age of Milli Vannili ( or however you spell it). I looked at my friend and said “they are lip syncing .. they are fucking lip syncing!” And then Joe hit a clunker chord. Wrong horrible chord. Glenn could not stop laughing. He tried to harmonize but was sputtering with laughter. Best concert moment of my life. Jumped up and down screaming “It’s live It’s live!” I enjoy your unbridled joy whilst making your videos! Sending love from Vermont, Mama Bee
That guitar bit rips me, man, One of my favorite cuts of all time.
SRV's work is tops, but this Eagles stuff is amazing.
The Eagles sound is great, the professional sound they have
live is as good as studio. One of a handful of groups that sound that way.
Another couple of great live performances are the Kennedy Center honors videos.....Adam Lambert singing Believe in tribute to Cher......and also Heart singing Stairway to Heaven in tribute to Led Zepplin. They are both mind blowing fantastic!
You need to check out the Kennedy Center Honors, STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, cover by HEART! UNREAL!
This is without a doubt so great, even though it has been played like a zillion times, still one of the most iconic songs from a handful of iconic tunes, from the modern music era. Start with an incredible melody, lyrics that are otherwordly, those voices, especially Don's, and the guitar playing (you're right, Walsh is a god), and you have a tune that few ever written can surpass. I think truly the Eagles are America's best homegrown rock band. Let's raise a glass to the 70s and to the southern California sound that decade made famous. Gotta go now, time to check out of my hotel...seems I can check out but I can never leave!!!!!
PS-- It is one of the greatest of all time, BTW.
Saw them 1st concert of my life at Mile High Stadium/Denver , Colorado-with Linda Ronstadt… multiple lives since 1976. Stunning Live & especially with Joe Walsh ✌🏻🎸🎼
Driving thru the Calif desert listening to this …. Nothing better……
Well except Grandpa Joe & his grandson jamming….look it up.
I was there. Don't forget Pure Prairie League opened that. show, with guitarist Vince Gill, now with the Eagles. WOW!!! And a great solo career he had.
Glenn Frey said before they do their live shows they have a warm up which they call the circle of death where they sit in a circle and practice their harmony's so they are just perfect as they are on the studio albums
This is hams down in my opening one I of the best most iconic songs ever written/performed. It holds great meaning in my life. In iconic my life was a mess, I feared having to go home so I got an after school job and spent the rest of my time in my best friend's boyfriend garage listening to his band jam out! This song was their#1 cover and it had so much meaning to me then and now!! Thanks for the reminder of one of the few good memories of my teen years!
I remember reading they never played this song the same way twice because of the guitar solos.
Phil Collins and of course Pau from “the warning” sing during drumming. Did see the Eagles life a couple of months ago. They are still amazing life. Thank you for this reaction.
Just thought of another artist to recommend - Joni Mitchell. There are videos of her performing one of her signature songs, Both Sides Now, when she was 23, just her and her acoustic guitar. Then around 2000, about 35 years older, Joni reimagined the song, transposed it down a third, as her voice had changed in those years, and set it with an orchestral arrangement. Both performances are great, and it's worth seeing them back to back to contrast them.
To really appreciate Joni's musicianship, you should also watch her live performances of Amelia and Coyote from 1979, accompanied by an all-star jazz combo, including Pat Metheny on guitar and Jaco Pastorius on bass.
Backstage before they go on stage, the harmonize to "Seven Bridges Road", no music and they later released it.
Old time classic!!!Just wonderful!
Awesome reaction 🤟❤
❤️❤️🤘🤘
I always like when someone says they are hearing this for the first time, then mouth the words along with the singers.
You need to see what is arguably “The Greatest Live Cover Ever”. Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart)…cover Zepplin’s “Stairway to Heaven” at Kennedy Center!
Always a treat seeing you react and especially to the music of my youth...
After the "Beat" generation..the hippies came in so high..that the instruments had to talk for them..lol...that's when the electronic rock really started...most listening from home were just laid back and zoned out...yes I'm telling tales out of school...
Have a wonderful day...there's too many great songs to recommend..👍😉...🌿🌿🌿
After hearing this live version a couple years back, I almost never listen to the studio version anymore, nothing against it, it's still a masterpiece, but this performance is so much more!
I listen to the live version of this song so much when the regular song plays I still say the live adlibs 🤣🤣 if someone put a gun to my head and said sing a song from start to finish without looking at lyrics this is one I'd be able to survive with! It's so good! The Eagles are definitely one of my all time favorites. Alll the members sing too! One of my favs from them "I can't tell you why" has the Bassist singing lead!
For me it would be "The Way We Were".
@@Glittersword I feel like a fake fan bc I don't know that song 😅
They are still around! I got to see my favorite band in person about 6 months ago. Opened with this song and screamed myself horse.
Thanks Luke, I just had a flash back to the 70s. Hotel California is Fantastic! Brought back a lot of Great Memories...be well stay safe. ✌💜
My first time seeing you and I love you and your reaction. That was a proper reaction!
George Michael and Elton John singing "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" is vocally phenomenal.
Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake at the 2015 CMA awards "Tennessee Whiskey/ Drink You Away" band, vocals, harmonies, energy... off the charts.
Phil Collins Live "In the Air Tonight" one of the most iconic songs of my generation, with a mesmerizing performance.
kd lang "Crying", MTV Unplugged, her voice is perfection.
Chris Stapleton "Whipping Post" (Kenny Greenberg channel) covering The Allman Brothers song has amazing vocals, unbelievable band and Duane Allman in the audience giving a standing ovation!!
Billy Joel Live "New York State of Mind" from (Old Grey Whistle Test) the vibe is sooo cool, his voice at it's finest, piano playing flawless, and a sax player that will blow your socks off.
Meatloaf Live "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" like watching a play with the most outlandish lyrics for it's time telling a fantastic story with amazing vocals.
The happiest reactor on the tube!! Thank you!
Man, regarding THE BASS: I have the Japanese mini-LP SHM-CD Edition of the Hotel California album, and, in HD sound, THE BASS (and EVERYTHING ELSE) is clear as a BOOMING BELL. It's a powerful sonic experience, EVERY TIME. Thank you for the passionate reaction. Yes, Don Henley is KNOWN for THE VOICE and THE DRUMS, both on in the studio and the concert halls. Glenn Frey, the co-founding member of The Eagles (along w/ Don Henley), for decades, referred to Henley's voice as, "The Golden Throat".
According to Henley and Frey, the lyricists of the song, "Hotel California" (in its own Satanic way) is about the dark side of California (and Hollywood and the music business), and how everything that glitters isn't gold.
Regarding Fleetwood Mac's live performances: "Silver Springs" , "Dreams", "Gold Dust Woman", "Rhiannon", "Big Love", "Over My Head", and "Landslide", all from THE DANCE (1997).
England, We love you, From America. Thank you for giving Us The British Invasion...two times...The 1960s and The 1980s.
P.S. I saw The Eagles live, in Summer 1996, during the HELL FREEZES OVER tour, on Long Island, NY. And, it was THIS GOOD, 20 years later. Quite possibly, the best concert I ever saw. Still have the tour souvenir t-shirt, and it still looks and wears great.
P.P.S. The Eagles are VERY MUCH still performing, and still sound incredible, in their collective 70s. For proof, listen to: "One Of These Nights" live 2018, on CZcams. Henley and the boys still sound phenomenal.
Thanks for your reaction to this song. I'm a new subscriber. I'm going to love this channel,you have such wonderful energy..😉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
My husband and I were at the Hotel California, it's in Mexico, we took all kinds of photos to bring home! Love your channel, best reacter ever! Keep up the awesomeness!
If you want to see the group Chicago at their best, try "25 or 6 to 4" Live at Tanglewood 1970, featuring the late Terry Kath on guitar.
Oh happy to 💯
Did someone mention 60s 70s Chicago music?? Oh hell yeeeeesss. When Terry Kath wasart of the group.....omg!!!
The lyrics are extraordinary
I think the drumming is almost as monumental as the guitars, so so good.
I was lucky enough to see The Eagles Live in Brisbane Australia 3 times, loved it so much we just kept going back time and time again, love them!!
You go old school! Classic song. Whole album is classic. Every song great, but this is most famous. Also please return to Hua Chenyu. We miss you.
Dude... Fast tracked to the social dances at high school in the 70's... Thanks for the ride!!! :)
Gotta do way more eagles stuff, loved this
There is a number of great songs in the world. But I believe this is the most beautiful and best written song of all-time.
They ARE that great!!! Not just because of hearing this "recorded" live perfomance, but hearing them in person, in a freaking football stadium, in South Carolina, USA! They sound exactly the same, if not better!!! No auto tune necessary!!! They are the gods of harmony, and musicality!!!
ICONIC! One of the top five songs ever. 😊
He also plays guitar and has written many of the songs they do. Amazing talent!
The Eagles are still touring, just saw them in Winnipeg a couple months back. Some things have changed, but they are still the greatest live band I've ever seen (x3 '06, '08, '22)
Lol- legendary! A local radio station here in Dallas/Fort Worth was going off air. The last 24 hrs their DJ played this non stop.
I HIGHLY suggest you watch Phil Collins In The Air Tonight live version...you'll be astounded
Definitely seems to be crazy recommended and I haven't seen it either 💯
Greetings from Canada,from a Brit. You just popped up on my feed and I’m enjoying your reaction to these legendary musicians. I’ve subscribed to your channel. Try Phil Collins live version of In the Air Tonight next.
How many people know this song and have listened to it for years but never knew he played the drums too?
Forgive me but they don't make musicians like this anymore, real talent and make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
Such emotional feelings when you see the live performances of any great (legendary) groups/bands.
wooooo, it's all my youth ! I dance my first ever slow with a boy on this song . The boy was sticking me too much, and the song never ending, and I was screaming in my head "please, end this fucking song" Lol ! 😂 It's so vivace in my memory, but it was 44 years ago , I think. Nevermind, I still remember all the lyrics . Eagles, Scorpions, Queen, Dire straits, Van Allen, Mettalica, Led Zeppelin, but also the Bee Gees, Joe Cocker... I still love them all, and still listening to their music. It will never be old. Tha,k you for this live version, it's... perfect ! I have a great moment. I don't have specific suggestion, but I hope you will do more of these groups : Led Zepp with Stairway to heaven, Scorpions ( Wind of change or Still loving you), Deep purple (Smoke on the water original, or there is a version with Pink Floyd, Queen, and Black Sabbath, for a charity project, so great ! ) ; Santana ? It was so good. Soul sacrifice at Woodstock maybe, the drums get crazy ! , or Mariah mariah /or Black Magic Woman. Oh, always with Woodstock, Joe Cocker, "with a little help for my friend" of course, legendary ! And more recently, Disturbed, with the cover of Sound of silence, powerful and emotional.
This is actually one of my favorite songs
Phill Collins is a singing drummer (as is Niel Pert for Rush). yes there is a piece on the meanings from the Eagles themselves.
I've got two performances that you need to see the live. Peter Frampton: Do You Feel Like We Do. The live version is the ONLY version of this song that needs to be seen. And if you are amazed by a drummer being the singer, check out Phil Collins doing In The Air live.
In my years I’ve seen many live shows. The best live shows are by those artists who are genuinely talented and don’t use the studio for enhancing their already pitiful talent. Simon and Garfunkel was probably one of the best live shows-2 pure voices and a guitar. No nudity. No stupid dancers. Just pure talent.
Another great live drummer singing is Levon Helms of The Band on Up On Cripple Creek in their Last Waltz tour. That concert, every song, is fabulous and featured the various artists they toured or played with over the course of their career. The Weight is especially good.
I purchased Eagles tickets for my husband for his birthday… his absolute favorite band in the world… we see them in November in Kansas City Missouri.
I’ve seen live versions of this classic 25 years apart and they sound just as good later as earlier. That classic guitar at the end cannot be beat. I love Don Henley singing this;not only are the lyrics great but the expressions he adds are priceless. Fleet wood Mac is great to check out live;I once had the privilege to see them. Anything off of Rumours is worth your time. I wonder if you’ve checked out any Queen live? Their performance at Live Aid 1985 is not to be missed.
great reaction mate, nice to see you, been in and out of my usual place, one of the greatest songs ever, and the solo. the whole world knows it. i will see you on twitch tonight, hog4life
Hey my friend!
Glad you enjoyed it, came from your list!
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you are well? Take care my friend! Always good seeing you stop by on twitch
Eagles "those shoes" is fantastic and criminally underrated
Watch this entire concert live. It’s fucking insanely good. One of These Nights next. You’re welcome.
Peter Gabriel "In your eyes", Secret World Live; Dite Straits "Sultains of swing", Alchemy live; Phil Collins "In the air tonight", First Farewell Tour and Peter Frampton and Eric Clapton "While my guitar gente weeps". They're all awesome!
How is it your first time with the eagles! Omg one of the best bands ever. They are an amazing group
Dan Felder and Joe Walsh on guitar. Can never get enough! 💖 Glenn Frey's son often tours w/them now. His daddy would be so proud.
Edited to say: A person close to the group told me the song was about the entire show biz experience. So excited when you make it, sign a contract & find out they now own you. He said you almost have to die or quit performing to get out from under their control. Managers, producers, publicists, etc, all have a part of what you can do & when & where. Some have escaped - Garth Brooks, Eagles, etc. And there's more freedom for independent creaters w/the internet. But others are still "owned" because of the money their people invest in them. (Thus all the copyright hits due to the companies rather than the singers. 🙄) I don't know if this explanation is true or not, but it definitely sounds reasonable.
That was one of my favorite live performances. Especially the end guitar duos between Don Felder and Joe Walsh. Epic!!! Next you have to see Dire Straits, Sultan of Swing, Alchemy Live. It is a must see!!!!
Yes!! Even better live 💜 Maybe any Rush song live is also worth a listen! Love your channel and I purple you💜
Don Felder on the double neck guitar wrote the music.
The greatest guitar solo of all time Felder and Walsh had so much fun on stage together.
I'm 71 and the EAGLES is the only rock concert I have ever been to. They were AWSOME. I saw them at an inside venue and let me tell you, most of the concert goers were tokin them doobies. The gray pall in the bldg was so thick you could barely see the band. BEST NIGHT EVER!!!!!!!
The Eagles was the first concert I attended and saw them again in my youth and then during their Hell Freezes Over Tour. Music from my childhood...
I got to see them live in Nashville. It was a true lifetime experience.
The thing I always loved about Eagles is how incredibly tight those harmonies are, even live, it's incredible.
So going through your videos I see some live ones that you need to see that have already been suggested and maybe already have done, but just a friendly reminder ~
Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight"
Heart "Stairway To Heaven" (Kennedy Center Honors ~ full version)
Stevie Ray Vaughan "Texas Flood" (Live at El Mocambo)
Alice In Chains "Love Hate Love" (Live At The Moore)
Pearl Jam "Black" (MTV Unplugged)
Fleetwood Mac "Rhiannon" (Live On Midnight Special)
Led Zeppelin "Kashmir" (Live Celebration Day)
Honorable mention would be Stevie Nicks "Edge Of Seventeen" (Live 1982) I don't know how into her you are but it's my favorite version of that song, above the studio version.
(P.S. I say "f*cking hell" all the time, my ex mother in law is British and she taught me some naughty things LOL)
