Eagles – Eagles Live 2xLP Vinyl Record

“Eagles Live” is the first live album by the American rock band Eagles, a two-LP set initiallyreleased on November 7, 1980. Although the Eagles were already in the process of breaking up,the band owed Elektra/Asylum Records one more album and fulfilled that contractual obligation with a release of performances from the Hotel California and The Long Run tours.

Mixed by Glenn Frey and Don Henley on opposite coasts in Los Angeles and Miami, respectively, and as producer Bill Szymczyk put it, the record’s harmony and instrument fixes were made “courtesy of Federal Express”.The 1983 Rolling Stone Record Guide said it is “perhaps the most heavily overdubbed [live album] in history”.“Seven Bridges Road,” a Steve Young cover, was released as a single and became a top-40 hit.

Five of the tracks were recorded in October 1976, during three performances at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The other 10 tracks were recorded in July 1980, from three shows at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and one at the Long Beach Arena in California.
