The Eagles with Linda Ronstadt & Jackson Browne - Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, Beacon Theater, New York City, 7-19-1974

In the 1970s, there was a U.S. music TV show called "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert." In 1974, that show had an episode focusing on the Eagles, with guests Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne. The three artists were musically linked. The Eagles started out as Ronstadt's backing band in 1971. Browne helped the Eagles get a record contract, and his song "Take It Easy" was co-written by Eagles band member Glenn Fry (who also lived in the same apartment building as he did for a time). Most of the songs here were performed by the Eagles, but Ronstadt got to sing lead on three songs, and Browne on two.

This TV show looms larger in retrospect. By 1974, the Eagles, Ronstadt, and Browne were all successful, to be sure. But as the 1970s went on, they would become much more successful, each of them becoming musical superstars for a time. So this was a very inspired gathering of talent.

The sound quality is very good. I'm guessing that all of the songs appear here, but some of the talking between songs has been lost. I'm basing that on the fact that Ronstadt got introduced but Browne did not. Surely he deserved an introduction too. Anyway, the main thing is that the music survives.

This album is an hour and seven minutes long.

The cover photo comes from this exact concert. I'm guessing it's from the last song, "Take It Easy," when the Eagles, Browne, and Ronstadt all played on stage together.
