  • I actually remember this show the very night that it first aired, I was quite young and was supposed to be in bed by that time of night but watched it anyway. My older brothers have mentioned numerous times over the years that this particular show/ensemble gathering was PURE MAGIC coming together all at once.

    And they were right.

  • the beautiful seventies ...thanks for sharing the memories ...

  • wow...cool...a lot of talent on that stage...those were the days...thanks for posting this video!

  • Some good old memories. The Eagles at Red Rocks, second row, general admission, a huge spliff and out come the original group, playing with the amps turned up to 11. Another time, at Mile High Stadium, 60,000+, all stoned (including Denver's finest). Just before dark, Joe Walsh comes out to play solo, with the Eagles as his back-up band. Then making the transition into Eagles material. What a night!

  • Thanks for uploading this. 3 The Eagles

  • I wonder what makes a person come on here and say that they "dislike" such a classic. Cleary youth plays a part.

  • Man,the late 60's were a time.I was there.Everyone who was there would love to go back,even the Republicans who crap all over it now.

  • I don't know where this specific performance of this mix of musicians was, but I was there when they played together at Anaheim Stadium, CA...it was my 21st birthday. Seems like yesterday. It was awesome!! Saw the Eagles again just a few years ago. All these years later they are amazing and still producing new music!

  • I need more cowbell

  • God I wish I was there.

  • I love this. Those innocent faces in the audience had no idea what greatness they were witnessing!

  • And the other connection is the Eagles use to be Linda's back up band and they were called the Stone Ponies.

  • THE BEST EVER! My happy song. I wish it could go on forever...I love how they are so in sync and bliss with each other. So much talent and greatness on one stage. They just felt the song when they were singing it and that's why we do, too. I don't see how it could get any better. Friendship at it's finest.

  • @cindylynn1968 My words exactly!

  • Oh look, another "audience"

  • Great performance! great audience!

  • OMG, I remember this on "late night" tv, I may have been 10 or 11 years old, staying up later than my parents, *hehe*, What memories!

  • Damn!! LMAO!!!! Im getting old!!!!! Love This Stuff!!!! Real music!!!! Seen them all in concert, but not at one time!!!!

  • This is one of my favorite videos on the YouTubes, because of the great Randy Meisner. THE MAN can't keep him down.

    Alas, white people could not dance back then, and we haven't improved much over the years.

  • Looks like Shooter Jennings is in the audience

  • THIS IS DONE JUST TO BE SHURE YOU KNOW HOW GREAT  AND I DO MEAN G R E A T JOE WALSH REALLY IS Ô¿Ô

  • Back when they weren't gray, bald and Linda wasn't fat....

  • @prh14thsps Back then I wasn't bald, grey and fat either. Shit happens, it's called getting older. But the music is immortal.

  • @650bigal AMEN!!!

  • I don't think 4 guitars are enough, they should have brought in John Denver or something

  • Randy Meisner!

  • @hasekdom yea, lol he was so cute, saw Linda givin a litlle looky that way, hum a lil somein somein goin on lol ?

  • I always heard she had a short affair with Jackson.

  • Anything worth doing is worth doing right, and these folks always did it right.

    Great video! :-)

  • I can only imagine that everyone on that stage had been up for 36 hours and had no clue what they were doing.

  • This is a shitty version of Take it Easy. The additional backing vocals on the chorus don't work at all

  • I like Eagles and Jackson Brown, for sure. But this is the worst version I've ever heard. Guitars out of tune and choirs from Linda... no good. Anyway

  • I like Eagles and Jackson Brown, for sure. But thsis is the worst version I've ever heard. Guitars out of tune and choirs from Linda... no good. Anyway

  • Original Eagles: Bernie Leadon, Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Randy Meisner.

    Don Felder joined in 1974

    I refuse to recognize the Eagles incarnation after One of These Nights, although I do like Hotel California. I wish they would have stuck with their signature sound.

  • @ToolBag48 Little do you know this has always bothered the boys. Please re-consider your position. LOL

  • ronstadt sounds like yoko, jeez what a screech.

  • This is my version of Heaven, right here ( or me, Linda, Emmylou and Dolly in a convertible, driving thru a full-moon night on the desert ) -- hey, Randy Meisner!

    give Linda back her hairdo!!!!!

  • the lineup with Leadon and Felder only lasted a couple albums i believe, 'one of these nights' and 'on the border'

  • Bernie Leadon doesn't get nearly the credit he should because of how great Joe Walsh is. I love the 70's hair/clothes, but what I can't stand is the clapping on the friggin' upbeat --- how white can you possibly be, you know? (LOL)

  • Sorry, Ronstadt and Browne sounded awful. I wonder why the Eagles invited them to sing with them in the first place?

  • @misslantana52 Excuse me, They were Linda Ronstadt's back up band! Oh, and Jackson Browne wrote the song that made them famous!!! Linda encouraged them to start the Eagles.

  • Fantastic!

  • 16 people suck.

  • Great stuff!...great for drinkin a beer after a long day at work

  • a very rare clip...thank u for sharing...and what a line-up!

  • holy cow - felder. . . leadon. . . meisner. . . browne. . . rondstadt . . .and the rest of the eagles - all on stage, together - singing, together!!! what a jam session!!!

    thnx, badboy you rock for posting this!

  • @LadieBug357 omg~~I'm sitting here Floored~~~This is sooo Awesome!!! I used to go see all of these artists back then!!! I'm in Heaven Listening & Seeing them again "The Way They Were" Loving It So Much..................

  • @LadieBug357 Jacson Browne wrote the song "take it easy". eagles popularize it.

  • @MrSignR yes, browne and fry co-wrote it and the eagles were the first to record it, so it kinda became 'their song', but jackson also recorded it the next year - great song!!

  • @LadieBug357 The way I read about it, Jackson had the song down almost complete except he couldn't figure out the lyrics after "...Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see." Glenn Frey sat down with him and suggested, "It's a girl, my lord, in a flat-bed Ford...etc". Jackson was so happy that he gave Glenn co-writing credit for the whole song. It was The Eagles' first hit song.

  • Check out the hairdos.

    Must be the 70s!

  • DON'T READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. U WILL BE KISSED ON DA NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY DA LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DON'T POST THIS COMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS TOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READING THIS DON'T STOP. THIS SO SCARY. PUT THIS ON 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS, DUMB BITCH

  • Thanks for posting - great

  • I can't believe all the white folks clapping on the 1,3 beat! All they had to do was listen to what Don Henley was freaking playing!! Clap on the snare drum beats you hillbillies!

  • @chunkawanka HILARIOUS! I WAS LIKE....WTH? COME ON...ALL OF THEM DOIN THAT??!! EMABARASSING TO WATCH THAT! I LIKE LINDA, THE AGLES AND BROWNE...A LITTLE RECREATIONAL FUN MAY HAVE RESULTED IN THIS MESS? PERHAPS? LOL! LOVE IT THO!

  • 1:00 - Chloe Sevigne - man she's old.

  • This song was used in the pilot to Knight Rider - cool song, cool show.

  • totally just got tears... videos like this are why i have a deep love affair with music

  • two solos in this video? has something been played over twice?

  • i grew up with their music,and i love them!!

  • Love this, but why is "Fingers Felder" just playin basic chords here?Too may cooks I guess...

  • Comment removed

  • When Leadon and Miesner left ... that was the end of the GREAT Eagles.

  • 1:25 the girl is stoned enough. haha, ahhh the good old days

  • Dat waren nog eens tijden ..

    Werchter is er nooit in geslaagd zo'n bende kwaliteit tesamen op een podium te krijgen ...

    The Eagles waren toen blijkbaar nog een 'toegankelijke bende fantastische muzikanten', wat een verschil met nu ... (vraag maar aan Don Felder ...)

    Hopeloos veel heimwee !

  • Fuckin' cool!!!

  • The one constant in my life for 40 years is that Jackson Browne has had exactly the same haircut. I saw him last night and it looked exactly the same. If anyone wants to see super up close video I took in L.A. last night from right in front of his keyboard, go to my channel. You'll have to scroll through a few John Mayer videos to get down to the Jackson ones. :)

  • Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner there? Looks like authentic Eagles to me. Am I right?

  • @georgebur Yep. Says so right in the credits at the end. This is the original band plus JB and LR. And it's a doozy.

  • @georgebur Yes, it is The Eagles........Glenn Frey, Randy Meisner, Bernie Leadon, Don Felder and Don Henley.

    I've loved The Eagles since I was a teenager! Take it easy!!! : D

  • lol @ crowd clapping on 1 and 3

  • NAZIS of 80s

  • BERNIE LEADON IS THE SHIT!!!

  • Look at 2:25...the little black kid...being there probably scared him for life...but in a good way.

  • Saw this show in 1974 at the Sacramento Auditorium.  Wow!!

  • @happyboy72848 My wife and I were there, too, just having moved to Sacratomato. Only one child then, three to follow, all long since grown and all Eagles fans.

  • Nice...Lindo...

  • Don Kirshner's Rock Concert - one of the best music shows ever on telelvision. I used to stay up late after weaiting for my parents to go to bed then sneak outside to smoke a joint before coming back in to catch the show, "Rock Concert" and thoroughly enjoying whoever Don Kirshner had on the show.

  • @iamrwg2u ... I remember this show, I have been an eagles fan since and I learned of Jackson Browne from this connection, those were great years for music

  • Outstanding!!!!

  • Wonderful. God I`ve give any thing to have been there :) Bri

  • @JohnDgr81 .... Well said

  • remember this is live ..linda should be in the rrhof .. let madonna try this.. aint gonna happen.. linda rocks

  • thank you for uploading this rare gem

  • Wow, what a line-up! What a gem from musicians that I always loved! I don't know how people find these great posts, but thank you for them! Sincerely, BobbyK

  • for those of you who dont know...Jackson ,Linda,Glen,and Don where 'The Stoned Poneys'.in the earley 60's ..beat of a different drum hit single! great rock history!

    love them all!

  • @JohnDgr81 I assume this was a joke. The Stone Ponies were a trio in the very late sixtes, with Linda, Kenny Edwards, and Bob Kimmel. The Eagles started, in part, as a backup band for Linda left the Ponies behind to pursue her inevitable solo career. No one band, or style, could ever hold her, then or now. As versatile an artist as there's ever been in American popular music, and a master of ever style she's ever done- which is almost all of them.

  • @slownoman well I guess I see where I mixed them up!...thanx!

  • That Randy Meisner has always had such a beautiful voice

  • 13 people blew their speakers out while listening to this. 

  • I remember seeing this late on Saturday night on TV way back in '74 ( I think). Geez I'm old.

  • Is it just me, or does the guy at 4:14 look like Johnny Depp's Cpt. Jack Sparrow?

  • The Eagles are awesome in every form & fashion....did I say it right ....

  • The 70's..great music and bad wardrobe...

  • What was wrong with the wardrobe.?The music spoke for it self. That atire was in man. Sons of the Pioneers, and Roy Roy Rogers left years ago.. That was the in years.. Base Ball atire and Foot Ball Jerseys on stage and and Bell bottoms was in.

  • @7211098 I mean't it as a joke..I know that was the style then,but you are right the music speaks for itself..Peace

  • Does anyone know the date of this performance?

  • Those were the formative years for all concerned. The massive egos and rampant cocaine use and heavy boozing hadn't begun to break up the original group. They all hung out at the Troubadour Club and Dan Tana's on the strip. Partied together and wrote and sang together.

    Would have loved to have been there to see it.

  • @1jetdrvr Yes I just read the book take it to the limit the untold story of th Eagles Those were the days

  • @1jetdrvr Not the Strip. Santa Monica @ Doheny... I was there.

  • @1jetdrvr geezzz, me too!

  • Bernie left the group cause he didn't like the directions the group was taking - he was more country and bluegrass and Don and Glenn wanted to take it more rock. Cool seeing Don Felder with them...this wasn't in the beginning of the Eagles since he's on stage with them and he came along for the One of These Nights album...

  • 1 percent of the people in the croud are boys!

  • Wow, here's alot of great singers on one stage! What a gem! Peace, BobbyK

  • They never were happy with Bernie's lead guitar.....I think it sounds good......I think he got the shaft !!

  • Is that Bonnie Raitt I see clapping along in the audience?

  • Am I imagining this, or do I see a few Manson girls in the audience? Does anyone know the date and venue of the concert? Maybe all the girls in LA looked like that at the time. Just speculating ...

  • @pytlozvejk1

    Pretty much, yeah. There was the "valley girl" look back then, and long straight hair, sometimes even ironed, was all the rage for the chicks back then. I was there.

  • WOWwhere didu get this thank you sound man nailed it and the vocs ROCK

  • WOWwhere didu get this thank you 

  • Pure joy ..... thanks. 

  • What's also cool, not only did Jackson Browne co-write the song, they also started as Linda Ronstadt's back-up band. She is the one who encouraged them to go out on their own and they did!!

  • Love it~

    the stone ponys singing together again at that time.

  • we may lose, we may win, but we will never be here again

  • Thanks so much for uploading this; it's amazing! What year was this?

  • @Greenspots84 Probably 1972!

  • @rbkpetroleo Thanks for answering my question. :)

  • @Greenspots84 A pleasure! :-)

  • To the hot Red-headed chick in the Audience " You wanna go out for a burger sometime ?"

  • Doesn't get much better than this!

  • some of the greatest singer/songwriters and folk rock musicains ever to live all there in one band, all know each other, play together, are good friends, and in Jackson and Henley and Frey's case lived together even as well as made music together. even this song is co-written by Jackson Browne and Glen Frey. musicains of that era were just amazing, yet so human, so down to earth.

  • @QueenBeatlesWings you dhould catch the american masters ep with james taylor and carole king..... lot of these ppl are mentioned

  • @skibothy I did see it, thanks. the full video is on PBS and as a DVD and was very interesting

  • WOW! Bernie, Don, and Glenn, not to mention the rest of the brilliant musicians and singers on stage, ALL AT THE SAME TIME! It's a wonder the place didn't just EXPLODE just from the pure excess of talent on that stage!

  • I'd estimate this was sometime in '74 since Don Felder is in the vid. Surprising that he was playing rhythm guitar and Bernie the lead, but then again it proves what an overlooked talent Bernie really was. Awesome to see Jackson & Linda on this. Kind of like a friends jam session.

  • Sorry, it's great to hear Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt on this, but their vocal interjections during the chorus. disrupt the flow of the song.

  • @Mikemaniax Er...are you listening to the same song? It's brilliant and the song flows quite nicely.

  • @DoogeMeister Yeah, and I'm just saying that I didn't like how they do their extra background vocals on this version. If you like it, that's fine.

  • I feel like rolling a fat one!

  • 名古屋ライブ最高だったぜ!ありがとう

    

  • My favorite band of all time. I saw them in 1980 The Long Run Tour. The Vocals, The Guitars (4-5 each lined up behind them on stage Oakland Ca. Indoor. Wish I had seem them live sooner. Thanks for this

  • That second verse...with Randy sharing lead vocals with Glen...spinetingling!

  • Hey Henley, Felder shoudn't be on the rythm guitar. Get it?

  • way too f--- ing cool. those in attendance couldn't know what what a lineup they were witnessing. the drummer looks somehow familiar. could it be? nah!

  • @animascat The drummer is Don Henley....the only drummer they've ever had. Not sure who you think it is...hmmm.

  • @virnman i know. i was just trying to be a little amusing. very little i might add, but thank you for your honest consideration. appreciate your response. don't haveany idea when this was shot. Henley looks like a teenager.

  • @animascat Oops, sorry I missed that ;) Yeah, the boys were mid 20's at most here I believe...

  • #mlike 7 mins take it easy long play !! Jackson Browne,Linda Ronstadt with Eagles - Take It Easy

  • Thank Thank THANK YOU! Wonderful!!!

  • Rumor has it Jackson Browne started writing this song, didn't finish it (or maybe he did), turned it over to the Eagles, and the rest is history.

  • @Wrkoutguy08 Yep! Glen was living above J. B. kept hearing him playing with it and stopped. Glen went down and asked him 'what did you do with the tune? and J.B. said something like I threw it out or something to that effect. Glen asked for it J.B. said go ahead and Glen changed the line "well i'm standing on a corner in southern California" to" Winslow Arizona". They now share the credits.

  • @Wrkoutguy08 sounds like one of his songs

  • @Wrkoutguy08 Yep...they both recorded versions and The Eagles hit paydirt with theirs...and the rest is as they say...history.

  • @Wrkoutguy08 I heard the story years ago and as I recall it, Glen Frey and Don Henley were struggling musicians living in Jackson Browne's garage in Laguna Beach, CA. Jackson wrote the song and what later became the Eagles were hired by Ronstadt to back her on tour. The band shared some material but was Linda's band and after that tour, they officially became The Eagles and the rest is history...

  • @Wrkoutguy08 that is correct,,,JB HAD THE 1ST VERSE AND CHORUS AND THEN GLEN helpled with the rest!

  • @Wrkoutguy08 baiscally Jackson started writing it, wrote the first verse, and didn't really plan to publish it, it was jsut a personal kid of thing, like a message to himself to remember to relax when things got tough, but one day he showed it to Frey, who wrote the second verse about the 'flatbed Ford' and so the two continued co-writing it. Jackson Browne, Henley, Frey, and JD Souther all lived in the same apartment building for a time, so it was natural that these neighbors co-wrote songs

  • @QueenBeatlesWings  It's a writers reference on selfish, why sharing the work, and evolving it around, ain't a bad idea sometmes. A lot of idiots we never heard of, also lived in that apartment building. Probably laughed at the 'hippies' that sat around and wrote songs.

  • Mann was würde ich geben, wenn ich damals dabei gewesen wäre....ein Konzert der Eagles zusammen mit Linda Ronstadt & Jackson Browne...voll geil...Take It Easy...Take It Easy

  • @QueenBeatlesWings I like to put matchsticks in my pee-hole.

  • Frey sounds like an a hole. Read Felder's book for more on that

  • Its a girl my Lord in a flatbed Ford slowing down to take a look at me... one of the best iconic lines in Rock. I must sing along every time I hear it !

  • @lpgft That's the line that Frey added to Jackson Browne's stalled lyrics which enabled JB to finish.

  • 40 years but still the best

  • @guitargeek what a great gift for his fans I am sure we will leave there Loving him more...

  • @rubydawn1 You forgot the 1122 part....thats why it didnt come to my mail luckkily i look at this daily

  • this was at least 1971

  • I am going to see him too in April in Montreal

  • @rubydawn1 me2

  • Jackson Browne out of his league That is insane Jackson Browne is in a league of his own He is a great song writer.I love J.B

  • @rubydawn1 Amen bro! That dude is full of sh *t!

    

  • @rubydawn1 I'm going to see JB in april, I'm so stoked!

  • I know Jackson Browne wrote "Take it easy" but in this video you can tell Jackson and Linda Ronstadt are way out of their league with The Eagles.

  • who really would like this version.

  • Dnload the audio from this track at tubepull doht cohm.

  • When/where was this?

  • omg, people! clap on tempo.
