  💬 I won't lie, I was SLIGHTLY disappointed that I couldn't see all my fav faces in the band.  This was my very first introduction to the changes that were made in the band.  Despite the changes in band members, they did manage to find similar voices to what I'm used to - still not the same - but good enough to get us in the feels.

  As others have said, this was an Eagles song and Linda did a cover. Both versions were great but The Eagles is always my goto.

  While waiting for the band to finish an album, the record company decided to put out a Greatest Hits album.  I've read that Frey & Henley weren't too keen on the idea.  The album became the #1 selling album of the 20th century.  Guess you can't be right about everything.  : )

  Very few reactors do this song, thanks. I saw them in Buffalo with only ten people showing up, as there were 4 big concerts that week, so sat right in front of the piano with the blue light shining down, this song stole the show, was even better than the one on the album!

  An absolute MASTERPIECE written by the Late Great Glen Frey and Don Henley...........Henley CRUSHES on this version.   The Eagles are one of THE greatest bands in Rock History.

  Glen Frey and Randy Meisner have passed away. Randy and Don Felder left years ago wiith some bad feelings. Timothy replaced Randy.  Vince Gill was a recent replacement for Glen who died. Don Henley sang "Desperado."

  The Eagle&apos;s second Bassist (Tim &nbsp;B. Schmitt) Replaced Randy Meisner as bassist &nbsp;in 1977.. &nbsp;He&apos;s got the Crazy Long Hair, and Two AWESOME Eagles tunes are &quot;Love will keep us Alive&quot; and &quot;I can&apos;t tell you Why&quot;.<br>IRONICALLY, before they became The Eagles, All the Founding Members had (at one time) Been Recruited and Performed with Linda Ronstadt! in her (unnamed) Band!<br>The Band Broke up in 1980, but Re-united in 1994. &nbsp;For their First Show, As they Came onstage, (I believe it was) Don Henley that said &quot;For the Record, we Never broke up, we just took a 14 year vacation&quot;...

  Yep, it was an Eagles song. &nbsp;Linda Ronstadt covered it (very well, I might add)
