  Hello!<br><br>I need to pin this to clear some stuff up as it appears there’s been a few misunderstandings in the comments below. If you’re coming to type this exact comment, I know you can see this!<br><br>I am in no way supportive of the auto-tune heard commercially in modern music. I AM supportive of very minor pitch adjustment where possible (most of your favourite artists use it, its effective when its inaudible). My comments on the technology refer to the ease modern mixing consoles have built in to prevent issues, which wouldn’t have been present some 60 years ago.<br><br>Also, I have to say I am somewhat disappoint by the “Older music better, new music sucks” comments I’m seeing. There are SO many incredible bands with raw talent, do not focus on a small margin relying on plugins and virtual instruments. All music performed with talent and soul is good music.<br><br>Finally, it honest to God does not matter if this video is in Mono. I listened to it in Stereo, the mix-down was in Mono in my editing software. If you want to hear the song, go to the official Eagles channel.<br><br>I appreciate all your kind comments, I do read all of these comments, even if I don’t have the time to respond to them all with work. Thank you!

  The 70s had some of the greatest musicians ever. &nbsp;They didn&apos;t need auto tune, or anything else. &nbsp;We lived for the music, and it had to be great music. &nbsp;And the Eagles are up there with some of the greatest musicians putting out some of the greatest music, of all time. &nbsp;Our music is timeless.

  There was no weak link with the Eagles. &nbsp;They were all supremely talented musicians and great singers who could also harmonize, which is actually very hard to do.

  I always enjoy watching the younger generation discover the music of my generation. We took it too much for granted. Good music was that plentiful.

  Oh my sweet summer child. A fellow Brit here. I was at that concert in Largo MD. My late husband and I were given tickets for a wedding gift... 25 rows back! &nbsp;It was incredible! I wonder if you know the band&apos;s &nbsp;motto? &quot;If you wrote it, you sing lead.&quot; &nbsp;Each of the band members is a lead singer... &nbsp;You&apos;ll discover that if you delve into their catalog.<br>I&apos;m old now but that was one of the best concerts my husband and I went to, besides the original Woodstock (we hadn&apos;t met then)... &nbsp;Enjoy your journey through the best era of music!

  fyi joe walsh has said about todays music...you put a synthesized guitar, with an auto-tune voice and drums, and you end up with &nbsp;3 engineers, four producers, and a song that NO ONE PLAYED on, lol
