Genre: Country rock
Places I remember: The Warehouse
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Take It Easy
Gear costume: James Dean
Active compensatory factors: Not quite a bootleg, more a 'legendary radio recording' according to the cover, this is the audio version of what would have been broadcast on TV. So the recording suffers in the process. To be fair, you know that going in with these kinds of things.

As such it's okay but not a vital document for The Eagles. Instead Linda and Jackson steal the show in some regards. Looking Into You is terrific (no clip of this available unfortunately).
Having said that, this is my favourite period of the band - before they went mega. The more authentic country rock thanks to the presence of Bernie Leadon appeals to me more than the soft adult rock and Joe Walsh years.
The hits are rendered professionally - Peaceful Easy Feeling, Take It Easy, and Desperado (with Linda taking centre stage) but the songs from One The Border - Ol '55, Already Gone, James Dean are my favourites from the concert.
Where do they all belong? Back to the vinyl for the next round of albums.
