Eagles - "Hotel California" | 1998 Induction 

i am 72 yrs old, and i will say this, this is the GREATEST song ever written, and played. The intro is awesome, and that guitar riff at end is amazing. Kids, this is what talent is all about.....................

Their ability to replicate their recorded sound live almost note-perfect is just jaw-dropping.

My dad played this song for me, when i was a kid in his truck. Today I returned the favor and played it for my kids in my truck 🤘

I’m a Black woman age 70 and Funk and Soul and R&B are my love in music. But this?……is one of the greatest songs ever written and performed. A masterpiece.❤

For Don Henley to play the drums and sing so flawlessly at a live concert is unbelievable!

RIP the two members of The Eagles Randy Meisner (March 8, 1946 - July 26, 2023), aged 77 Glenn Frey (November 6, 1948 - January 18, 2016), aged 67 You will be remembered as legends.

Probably the BEST musical performance in history !!

"Hotel California" is a timeless rock classic with captivating lyrics and a memorable guitar riff. It's one of the Eagles' most iconic songs and remains popular across generations.

No one here seems to acknowledge the fact this version features all 7 Eagles Members. Seeing Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon play this with the whole band is one hell of a reunion show.

I am 82 and this is my favorite song ever. I even strum the chords on my ukulele. It feels so good.

In 2024, who will still listen to this song? It's really cool, the song is good for relaxing

How the heck can he sing and yet concentrate on all the different beats and timings of the drums at the same time. What talent!!

You know the Eagles are a great band, performing a great song when the live version sounds better than off the record.

I'm 63 and I've always loved this song. Just watching these amazing guys perform it. It's magical and awesome. I was born in 1960 so I grew listening to these guys plus a few others. But I still say this song takes all. Sorry other performers but your still amazing. It's just this song. I just hope the kids now a days listen to this music mostly this song. I'm gonna call my 25 yrs old song and tell him to hear if he hasn't as already. Everyone who has a heart needs to listen to this song. Everyone enjoy the music 🎵🎵🎵🎵 and have a wonderful day 😊. These guys 💯 pure music 🎶🎶🎶🎶

I'll never tire of listening to this.

This is one of the best songs ever created. I never get tired of hearing this awesome song. Great timeless band, the Eagles.

Watching Joe Walsh and Don Felder play the end of this song still gives me goosebumps all these years later , that what I call timeless .

Individually, each is (was) a world class talent. Together, they were magic. Not to ever be replicated.

By far and away my favourite version... these lads are like fine wine. So great to see all of them together

This song is a masterpiece that will be played regularly for centuries.

The fact that Don Henley who was the Eagles drummer did the vocals on this song should tell you just how talented the Eagles were

My Dad always played this song when I was younger, it’s a part of my childhood. He passed a year ago today and I’ve been listening to it all day to remind me of him❤️

Excuse me for my bad english but I’m a french girl. This song is the most beautifull song of the world. I wish you a very good day

The harmony on those guitar solos is legendary.

When your grandpas are cooler than you

So glad I was young still in my teens when this was popular. I lived in the greatest years of my life music. 60s, 70s and 80s.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! ONE HUNDRED MILLION VEWS!!!! LOVE YOU GLENN FREY, DON HENLEY, DON FELDER, TIMOTHY B. SCHMIT, RANDY MEISNER, BERNIE LEADON AND OBVIOUSLY JOE WALSH!!!!

This is live, no autotune. Just perfect.

The Eagles were more than a "band" they were an entire Orchestra (100 strings on guitars alone on stage) totally awesome. May their music live on and continue to inspire.

Who is here on April 2024??

What a FANTASTIC song by the Eagles !!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

These guys sound EXACTLY the same live as they do in their recordings! UNBELIEVABLE how AMAZING they sound. One of the greatest rock songs EVER written!

They played their song the very way they recorded it. This is perfection.

One of the Best Ever Recorded Songs with the entire Band". Absolutely Priceless. Saw the raw fresh begging of the band in the early 70s in Auckland, NZ and never forget that. I have seen them again a few times in Australia and always Memeralble. The Eagels Musical Contribution will continue to embrace the future of musice. :R.I.P. Glen one of the founding members.

22 years after the track was recorded (1976 - 1998). The fact that they're doing all this LIVE is just mind-blowing!

After all these years, It's still a masterpiece.

I'm 70 years old and I still enjoy this song it's great

Thank you Don Felder for giving us this!

Now THAT is a Hall Of Fame song. No auto tune, no backing track. All done live by legends. RIP Glenn Frey.

watching all memebers of the band not just play but feel the music and make sound with passion just gives me chills

One of the best endings of a song in history. Those guitars just goes on and on…..

Everyone says “not again “ but we all hear this perfect song and listen.

I was 10 yo when this song was on the radio. Whenever I hear any Eagles song, it fills me with overwhelming emotions of the innocence of childhood, riding shotgun with my dad in his truck, windows down, the smell of his cigarettes (hey. It was the '70s. Don't judge.). I miss him everyday . It's the small things like Hotel California that lets me close my eyed and spend a few minutes with him.

Even if you don't like the Eagles, you just can't not just watch this performance without being in awe. Crazy talented guys playing perfectly

Beautiful written and masterfully played song. Should be in the rock and roll hall of fame! 😃

ПЕСНЯ НАШЕЙ ЮНОСТИ!!! КАК ПРИЯТНО СЛУШАТЬ СЕЙЧАС В ЗРЕЛОМ ВОЗРАСТЕ И ВСПОМИНАТЬ... СПАСИБО ВАМ, ЭТА КОМПОЗИЦИЯ - ЦЕЛАЯ ВСЕЛЕННАЯ!!! БРАВО!!! ИРИНА.

Probably the most well-rounded talented all-inclusive band on record ever. PERIOD!! Once in a billion-year event.

Not many bands sound as good live as they do in the studio, but Eagles were able to take an already perfect song like Hotel California and make it sound even better live. This is one of the best live performances ever and I'm not sure if any band will ever come close to how great Eagles were again.

I can't make you understand just how perfect this is

이글스의 가장 최고의 라이브 무대다. 98년의 돈 헨리 목소리는 젊은 시절보다 더 섹시하고 너무 매력적이다. 이 라이브가 음원보다 더 좋다. 늙어 죽을 때까지 이 노래 듣다 죽을 듯

One of the greatest songs of all time. Truly legendary.

This is truly one of the extremely few songs I just never get sick of listening to. I just find it so amazing that Don Henley can play the drums and sing at the same time.

Pure talent . But Don singing and playing drums is just pure talent .

I am 71 years young now, listening to my select list of music. Reminds me of my Golden Years in 70s decade when great music was made. This song is one of my all time favourites. Those evenings spent on the wooden dance floor.

One of the greatest song in human history...a masterpiece for all humanity till the world will last

I’m 19 and this is my grandads favourite song. My nana died in 2020 of Covid and this was played in her funeral. I listen to this song all the time because it brings back memories of being in the car with them and my cousins when I was younger. Will forever be my favourite song

That guitar duet will be remember forever!

IFlippin Love This, no egos, just a bunch o f talented guys bringing it home.

45 years later and it’s still musically brilliant. Their musical discipline as a group is virtually unparalleled.

This happens to be one of my favorite "Eagles" tune..they do a superb job here!!

Don Felder and Joe Walsh.... You are legends.

I’ll never get tired of the solo. Never.

This song never dies!!! One of the best songs in history!! Pure talent is when you can play drums at it's best and sing. Old school talent and art is the type of art the never gets old or dies!

I am just amazed at how good this performance was! Perfection!

OMG the 2 guitarists at the end are just fabulous aren't they. Always a favourite

Never get tired of listening to this masterpiece.

This song ....it's impossible not to stop and listen to every word...every note ..everytime it's played

My father listened, me and my son listened, and now my grandson is listening. If you are alive, may God give you health. We grew up with you 🥺

To listen alone or with great company...a musical gem of all TIMES

This song can never die, the fact that still people listens to this shows that how powerful this song hits.

This song is 43 years old and it still is kick ass.

Hey you, who stopped to read my comment, never give up, go ahead, fight for your dreams, things will come better for you, I wish you every success 🙏🙏👍

This is the best song of all time. No one will convince me otherwise

Nobody will ever be as cool as Don Henley on the kit, starched white shirt, hair slicked back, aviator sunglasses, singing "Hotel California."

Heard a million times, and still ain't tired

мне 61 год ,вся моя юность,молодость прошла под эту музыку .Она вечна,по гармонии,мелодичностью и,вообще,неповторима

Grew up with this band .Boy how I took for granted how lucky we were to have such great music. Not like most no all of the garbage of today

Every time I hear the intro, there are voices in my head telling "Welcome to the Hotel California" It's not just a song, it's a masterpiece!

The two guitars in harmony in the solo is just beyond legendary, still gives me chills everytime I hear it, doesn´t matter which version it is!

Ive always loved guitarist that are willing to share the spotlight. Don and Joe are a great example of that.

I am 26 from India and I think this is best song I've ever heard. I listen to this every day, and every time it gives me goosebumps. It never get's old. At the ending guitars I feel like I'm floating in heaven.

Don Felder & Joe Walsh stole the show. They nailed it for everyone. Incredible perfomances

The guitar duet towards the end is amazing.

I knew Glenn in the 50's. He lived across the street, we're the same age. He was talented as a little kid. He was even on TV

Best band ever!!! Saw them live in Scotland on their first and only U.K. tour! It was a hot summer night…and they sang that number!

I’ve been listening to him since I was 14. Now I’m 65, & I still Love them. I’ve seen them Live! Their Great!

I just hope that the future generations get the heart filled warmth that comes from this song

I love this SONG . TOTALLY HIT .CHRISTMAS 2023❤❤❤❤❤

Real music, real emotions, real musicians, real masterpiece

One of the few bands that put in the work and effort to sound perfect performing live.

So much talent on one stage at one time...Glad to see Felder and Meisner playing with the band. The sound that Felder and Walsh combined make the song...they are quite frankly irreplaceable!

A little Italiano story about Hotel California, one of my favourite songs. I had a T-shirt made with Hotel California on it because I booked a room at the Hotel California in Firenze (Florence) Italy for our 50th anniversary. It was terrible. So hot in July. No air. It reminded me, "You can check out any time you want. You just can't ever leave." Mama mia!

Let me tell you...they did an incredible job with this song!!Off the charts!!!

All seven members. Something that will never happen again. RIP Glenn Frey.

Hotel California gives me the chills, it did back in the 70s and still does today, so powerfull and beautiful.

they were such an amazingly talented group of musicians

This is the best Song EVER!

Let's be honest : The greatness of this song is that Felder-Walsh magic.

45 years of this song , and it still touches something deep inside , even at 56 years old . RIP Glenn you are , and always will be missed , I know you are so proud of Deacon stepping in , and doing a phenominal job too.
