Thank you so much for posting this amazing performance by Randy Meisner.. I love his beautiful voice and he was my favourite member of The Eagles (and the cutest)..He seemed to be a very humble, gentle, unassuming man and he was incredibly talented. If there were any more performances from Randy on The Midnight Special, I'd really love to see them. RIP Randy. You are greatly missed! ♥♥
Thank you for this clear video! Randy was devastatingly gorgeous with a bright voice that was a gift to millions of us, his memory will be cherished forever.
Thanks for publishing this video of Randy Meisner! Would love for you to post other songs he sang on The Midnight Special! :) I'll bet his parents were so excited to see him on TV!
Am totally in love with Randy Meisner, he’s gorgeous and his voice is sublime, love this song, it makes me “on fire with desire” too! I’m the “tall one” he’s singing about … “waiting at the bar” … 😘 😂
I saw the Eagles live at the Gorge at George maybe in the early-to-mid 2000s. Great show and great venue. From what I remember getting out of the parking lot took forever though. If I even considered going now I’d take my camper van.
Randy Meisner was a fine musician, but I can’t say he was suited for the touring life. Other than his tenure with Eagles, he never stayed in any band for very long. He was on one album in the 1970s version of Poco and one album in the late 1980s with them. Richie Furay had issues with him. The Eagles wanted him to stand in the middle of the stage and sing “Take It to the Limit”. He was reluctant to sing it on his final tour with the band. I think the huge success of The Eagles was beneficial to him financially. He was overwhelmed mentally.
The best music era bar none. Everything was original. Not a lot of ‘covers…’. Today you have far too much mimicry, ‘covers,’ and absence of originality. I’m not saying there’s no originality today. I AM saying there’s a couple generations of people who may or may not sing well, practicing 70’s to 90’s or so music…. Putting a little spin on it and essentially presenting it to their peers as original. The peers don’t know the difference. People. It’s fine to cover within the realms of what’s legal. But if you are truly talented, how about producing something of your OWN. A few examples of what I consider to be current day original artists: Snarky Puppy Jacob Collier Cory Henry Ground Up Music Cee Lo Green Lalah Hathaway Becca Steven’s Laura Mvala Malika Torolien Banda Magda Bokante’ There are many originals out there. Unfortunately, you may have to dig thru a cesspool of mediocrity to find it.
I remember it on album-rock radio in late 1980/early 1981. Randy even recorded one of those Budweiser radio commercials, where rock artists of the day would sing the "This Bud's for you" jingle but adapted to their current hit song. It's probably on RU-vid, look for Randy's Budweiser commercial sung to the tune of Hearts on Fire. It's a good one.
