The Eagles - The Forum, Inglewood, CA, 3-4-1980

Here's a live concert from 1980 by the Eagles (or, if you want to be technically correct, just Eagles).

The Eagles broke up in 1980, although they would reunite in 1994 and occasionally thereafter. They marked the end of their eight years as a band with a live double album, simply called "Eagles Live." Although decent, in my opinion it has some problems. I generally prefer full concerts. Not only is "Eagles Live" selected from multiple concerts from 1980, five of the songs actually are from 1976! And given the band had so much material to choose from, why reach back to 1976 and pick songs like "Doolin' Dalton (Reprise II)" and "Wasted Time?"

Furthermore, the band was slowing falling apart, and losing enthusiasm as the tour went on. In fact, things got so bad that on the last night of the tour, there was a confrontation between band members Glenn Frey and Don Felder that some say came to blows. It is known that Felder smashed one of his own guitars to express his feelings. Yet there was even music on the live album from that concert. The break-up after that was very bitter.

I have another issue with the official live album. It's well known that the songs were extensively overdubbed later. In fact, Rolling Stone Magazine later said it was "perhaps the most heavily overdubbed [live album] in history." I prefer listening to live performances as they really were, without all that tinkering.

Luckily for us, there is one soundboard bootleg from the band's final tour, this one. However, there is one major problem with it: the recording stopped before the end of the concert. About one minute into an encore of the song "Carol," it seems the tape ran out. This is particularly frustrating because this was a cover of the Chuck Berry song, and the Eagles never put it on their "Eagles Live" album or any other album. Furthermore, Elton John played piano on it, although to be honest it's hard to tell. 

I got a minor break in that I found an audience bootleg that had the rest of "Carol," plus all of the next song, "Best of My Love." The song "Carol" has "[Edit]" in the title because I spliced the two versions together. Unfortunately, it seems that the tape on that recording ran out too. According to setlist.fm, two more songs were performed, "Walk Away" and "Tequila Sunrise." But at least we got the vast majority of the concert, even though the sound quality on the last two is a little rough. 

Personally, I think this is better than the official album from the tour. The only loss in my opinion is that this doesn't have a version of the song "Seven Bridges Road," which the band released for the first time on "Eagles Live." I checked, and while the band played the song on March 1st and 2nd, it was a changing setlist, and they skipped it on March 3rd and 4th.

This album is an hour and 36 minutes long.

The cover photo doesn't come from this concert, but it's close. It's from a concert at the same venue, but on March 1st, the first of a four concert run. The fancy lettering of the band name at the top is something I found just by Googling images of the band's name.
