Notes
To listeners near and far, the Eagles were an American band. It wasn't simply a matter of birth or geography, but rather that their songs touched on much of the popular musical heritage of America. To this day, listeners here and elsewhere consider American pop music to be country, blues, folk, rockabilly, rhythm-and-blues, Motown. The Eagles were rooted in all of them. It is only appropriate that the name they took for themselves was that of the symbol of America. Like most Americans, and most bands formed in California, the Eagles came from elsewhere. Their brand of rock 'n' roll was nurtured in the heartland, not on the fringes. Early songs from "Take It Easy" to "Desperado" were dubbed "country rock." But, as the Seventies rolled on, the Eagles soared higher and wider. "Best Of My Love" and "Lyin' Eyes" were rock and pop and country and the fans took them as their own. The distance between the country and the city, the redneck and the hippie, narrowed. In the Nineties, that gap would be forever closed by another generation of country rockers. The Eagles evolved and grew. The same album that boasted "Take It To The Limit" also included the R&B-flavored title track "One Of These Nights." Soon after, the band laid down harder rock with classics such as "Hotel California," "New Kid In Town" and "Life In The Fast Lane." In fact, the band was so inclusive that the only label that truly attached itself was "California rock." No one knew quite what that meant - except perhaps that, because in California anything was possible, music that came from that promising land was more fre-spirited and free-ranging. On six studio albums from 1972-1979, the Eagles reflected most of the spectrum of music then heard on American radio and in that decade sold more records than any other American band. The Eagles successfully and popularly fused disparate musical roots. That is their legacy, one which we continue to witness today. - Sal Manna Don Felder: guitars, vocals Glenn Frey: guitars, piano, keyboards, vocals Don Henley: drums, percussion, vocals Timothy B Schmit: bass, vocals Joe Walsh: guitars, organ, vocals Additional Musicians John Corey: keyboards, guitar, vocals Scott Crago: percussion, drums Timothy Drury: keyboards, vocals Stan Lynch: percussion Joy Oliver: keyboards Paulinho DaCosta: percussion Gary Grimm: percussion Scott Plunkett: keyboards Produced by the Eagles with Elliot Scheiner and Rob Jacobs "Learn To Be Still" Produced by the Eagles with Stan Lynch and Rob Jacobs Live track Recorded and Mixed by Elliot Scheiner Studio tracks Recorded and Mixed by Rob Jacobs Horn and String arrangements by the Eagles, Jay Oliver and Don Davis Second Engineers: Tom Winslow, Barry Gldberg, Ken Villeneuve, Carl Glanville, Andy Grassi, Charlie Bouis, Tom Trafalski Studio Tracks Recorded at The Village Recorder, Los Angeles; Sounds Interchange, Toronto Mixed at The Village Recorder and A&M Recording Studios, Los Angeles; Hit Factory, NYC Live Recording Coordinator: David Hewitt Guitar Techs: Chris Buttleman, Mike Harlow, Tony LeCroix, Todd Bowie Drum Tech: Gary Grimm Keyboard Techs: Bill Lanham, Michael Gonzales Live tracks Recorded at Warner Burbank Studios with Le Mobile House Mixer at Warner Burbank: Dave Kob Monitor Mixer at Warner Burbank: Dave Reynolds Edited and Mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound, NYC Chris Littleton: Tour Manager Jerry Vaccarino: Assistant Tour Manager Tony Taibi: Road Manager Tom Nixon: Road Manager Smokey Wendell: Road Manager Doug Sturgis: Crew Executive Producer: Joel Stillerman Program Producer: Carol Donovan Program Director: Beth McCarthy Program Line Producer: Audrey Johns An MTV Production Special Thanks at MTV to: Joni Abbott, John Cannelli, Tom Freston, Doug Herzog, Judy McGrath, Ed Paparo and Van Toffler Personal Management: Irving Azoff, Peter Lopez Art Direction: Robin Sloane and Janet Wolsborn Cover Photography: David Skernick Band Photography: John
