Eagles

Live

The BEST LIVE album I've personally ever heard...

Review Score:

(10/10)
IF there is a better *LIVE* album out there, I'd like to know what it is, because I've never heard it. The Eagles have always been one of my favorite bands, and after I came upon this album, I made up my mind to see them in concert as soon as I could. Unfortunately, by the time I got my hands on this cassette, they had already broke up. Really bad timing on my part. But that didn't stop my complete facination with their music. I just couldn't believe how they managed to sound SO GOOD on stage, versus some of the truly... groups I had seen live (some of which are really good, but IN person, well they stunk). One of my personal favorite cuts has to be 'Seven Bridges Road', while never a major commercial success, it IS however one incredibly GREAT song, done FANTASTIC in concert. But never fear, they have managed to include just about each and every one of their best songs on this complilation, including: 'The Long Run', 'Heartache Tonight', 'I Can't Tell You Why', 'Take It To The Limit' & 'Desperado' and let's not forget 'Hotel California'. About the only song I found that I wished they had included, but didn't was 'In The City' from The Long Run CD. Maybe an additional Joe Walsh tune, but basically I can't complain.

Not long ago, I had the MAJOR opportunity to fulfill my dream of seeing the Eagles LIVE in concert, and without question, it was THE BEST sounding concert I have EVER seen. I work in radio and over the years I have been most fortunate to have had the chance to see a LOT of concerts, and the Eagles blew them ALL away. Absolutely NO contest (other than Glenn Frey attempting to sing 'You Belong To The City' and not able to hit the high notes...). Their ability to capture the *sound* of their recorded songs is incredible. If you enjoy the Eagles (and I cannot imagine you NOT), IF you get that chance to see them perform on stage, do NOT shy away from the high ticket price (and I DO understand it can be pricey), but it will be WELL worth the price--TRUST ME. NOBODY does it better *LIVE* than the Eagles.
