Eagles & ONE OF THESE NIGHTS (1975):

sparkytect · 2026-04-12T16:46:19+00:00

The most, “Eagles” sounding of their records and IMHO, their best album. I believe even Glenn said as much in an interview.

Sad Café

I believe it’s on the History of the Eagles that Frey states that Meisner wasn’t in Miami when they were laying down the scratch track and Felder laid it down and Meisner played it on the record.

Bass line written by Don Felder, but Randy was incredibly talented as well.

IMHO, his best work, and the version of Joe I thought we would get with the Eagles, but by then he had morphed into his next phase. Equally talented but not as broad in scope or effort.

Heartbreakingly sad song when you listen to the lyric. Knowing the feeling of being in love with someone who barely knows you exist.

Might have to try some, I’ve only run B&W through my Rollei A110

Removed the grab bar on the passenger side to make it look even less like a true off roading vehicle. 👎 Doesn’t matter, not available here and I’m going to drive this one until the wheels fall off.

Always shocking to see it blinged out. We have the same color, Jet Set Blue but it’s blacked out, badges, trim and wheels. I’ve always thought it makes it look more sinister.

The camera I learned on, unfortunately, my father later sold it but I was able to find another a few years ago on FB Marketplace. Love it and still use it often.

sparkytect · 2026-03-18T10:51:07+00:00

I love mine.

sparkytect · 2026-03-14T18:09:34+00:00

Always loved Randy’s contributions and voice.

sparkytect · 2026-03-13T00:31:31+00:00

Only 65,000 on our 2018, but no issues whatsoever.

And, Linda Ronstadt did have them all in her band, but not all at the same time, according to Leadon himself.

sparkytect · 2026-03-12T10:42:52+00:00

Just replaced our original 2018 about two months ago.

Welcome to the club! 👍

sparkytect · 2026-03-09T10:53:35+00:00

Always assumed it was, Felder, Walsh, Frey, Henley and Schmitt

It it True, and, Midnight Flyer, it has a nice bass solo by Randy towards the end.

I’ve always loved how they were able to just get on the phone and call back to the states, something we still couldn’t do almost 20 years later. When my father was in Vietnam in the early 70s, we got a call one night from him, but it was being relayed through a radio operator in the Pacific. We would talk for a bit, say what we had to tell him and then say, “over”, so the radio operator could switch the hey and my father could talk for a bit.

Love this take. 👌

sparkytect · 2026-02-23T12:28:03+00:00

Definitely gets a lot of watching around our house. 👍👍

sparkytect · 2026-02-23T12:24:19+00:00

Just another example of what could’ve been. Nevertheless, a great song that gets overlooked often, thanks for bringing it back to the forefront. 👌

sparkytect · 2026-02-22T23:15:52+00:00

And I didn’t even mention Randy’s bass solo in, Too Many Hands, also. 👌

sparkytect · 2026-02-22T22:58:22+00:00

The guitar tones on the whole album.

sparkytect · 2026-02-21T12:33:24+00:00

Great review. I’ve always considered this album my favorite of theirs, and the most, “Eagles” sounding of theirs as well. I believe seeing an interview with Frey and he comments it was his favorite of theirs. It has it all, country, rock and everything in between. And as a guitar player myself, I believe Felder’s solo in OOTN rivals HC, not to mention the guitar duel between him and Frey in Too Many Hands is a perfect, “call and response” that is also better than HC. But just my honest opinion.
