Harmonies always got my attention,
and some good songs have the best
harmonies. A treasured and
inspirational sound.
The Eagles had mastered their harmonies
live by '74, and were at peak performance
when they released Hotel California in '76,
the first show for the new tour, on March 12
in L.A., if my recollection is right. It was packed
full (21K), and sold out for 3 nights at the Forum...
They had a full 21 pc. orchestra, and sounded great!
By then, Timothy B. Schmidt replaced Randy Meisner
on bass and vocals, and Joe Walsh played his lead styles,
instead of Bernie Leadon's innovative early Eagles licks,
along side of Don Felder, who stayed and wrote leads
and interesting parts, in the several hits to come...
Both of them, and all original members,
are in this video...
Live performances are much more difficult
to produce, and tend to be noisy, but some
not too bad, and here's an old one that's ok...

It does paint a picture, is easy listening,
and has harmony. A spirited early version,
probly polished, a bit more later on...
