This Is Breathtaking!! Eagles -Hotel California 1998 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction (Reaction) 

Believe or not,there is an even better live version of this,from the 70s

77’ live version for sure

The Eagles were known for having incredible harmonies!! They have so many hit songs. They all sing lead vocals depending on the song.

Being 55 yrs old, I grew up listening to the Eagles and have seen them twice in concert and they are amazing live❤

Shawn & Mel - This is easily considered one of the top 10 songs of all time along with "Bohemian Rhapsody" & "Stairway To Heaven" Do yourselves a favor & watch together the 1977 Live version. The double guitar solo between Don Felder & Joe Walsh (one of my favorite guys in Rock) I barely have words for. Please do take the time for this one together. You've hit one of the biggest songs of your journey.

From start to finish that song is 100% perfect. This will I've forever!! Thank you for the reaction 👍

The guy in the plaid suit is the one and only Joe Walsh. He is easily one of my favorite guys in Rock! Man is crazy talented, crazy fun, & just plain crazy! Please react to "Rocky Mountain Way" (he uses the talk box) & "Life's Been Good". Two BANGERS!!

The message: 1. The woman is the entertainment industry. 2. You can check out but you can never leave.

Never seen a drummer, singer? Watch Phil Collins , In The Air.

It was written by Don Henley (drums), Glenn Frey (acoustic guitar) and Don Felder (double guitar). Henley and Frey met when they were in Linda Ronstadt's back up band in 1971.

The guy in the brick wall suit, Joe Walsh, Play with the Eagles, The James gang, A solo career. Ringo Starr‘s All-Star band. And used to destroy hotel rooms.

The guy in the brick suit is my favorite, that's Joe Walsh!

The Eagles “ Life in the fast lane “ is even better. That’s just my opinion , y’all check it out. Much love! ❤️

After 40 years they are simply PERFECT! Goosebumps!

The Eagles are legendary among rock fans! They don't have even one bad song, and the Hotel California album is one of the most beautiful ever written.

The Eagles began in early 1971, when Linda Ronstadt and her then-manager John Boylan recruited local musicians Glenn Frey and Don Henley for her band. ... The four were signed in September 1971 to Asylum Records, the new label started by David Geffen, who was introduced to Frey by Jackson Browne.

Saw them LIVE in AL in 1977!! 21,000 lighters turned up! Highlight of MY LIFE!! React 2 that one!!! GREATEST BAND EVER!!

In the 70’s,wore this album out,bought a second one. This right here- genius level stuff. Great reaction! ❤️🎼🎶🎸❤️🔥🔥

You need to watch Phil Collins live, singing ‘In the Air Tonight’

This song can only truly be appreciated while sitting on a bare floor listening to this thru headphones as it comes off an LP. #memories

You can tell a band is talented when they all go their separate ways and are successful individually.

One of the BEST GROUPS..MIGHTY EAGERS

There is an amazing amount of talent on that stage! The 1977 live performance really does outshine this one but nearly thirty years later they still sound wonderful! Nice reaction 🌺✌️

The Eagles🦅💖🕺👬🧑‍🤝‍🧑🌟🤩 Great!🎼🎵🎹🎸🥁🎤📀👍👏 From Hong Kong🙋‍♀️🌏💝🌺🥰

I agree with everyone..I LOVE the Eagles...and you've just gotten a TASTE of WHY they are in the HALL OF FAME...

This is good. Live at Capital Centre is the best version and the dual is phenomenal. 👍🏽 For them to recreate this decades ago is awesome!!👏🏽

Desperato and Seven Bridges Road are two of my favorites.

I was 12 or 13 when this was released. I got the album for Christmas. A life changing moment

Eagles are one of my favorite bands. Got to see the in 1994.😀❤ Try, "Love Will Keep Us Alive", "The Girl From Yesterday", "Heartache Tonight", "New Kid In Town", "The Last Resort", "I Can't Tell You Why", "Desperado", "Outlaw Man", "Doolin' Daulton", "Lying Eyes", "Seven Bridges Road", "One of These Nights", "Peaceful, Easy Feeling", "Tequila Sunrise"..... So many great songs.... 😀❤❤❤

YOU CAN CHECK IN ANYTIME YOU LIKE....BUT YOU CAN "NEVER" LEAVE!!! 😯😲😅

This band, they all sang… whenever they did Henley’s songs, he wanted to drum for his own songs cause he was very particular to the drum sounds and pockets for his songs

This is such an outstanding song, thank you for reacting to it. Eagles ROCK it the hard way. The guy in the brick suit is Joe Walsh, one of the highest rated guitar players of all time. Everyone in this band is a rock legend. Unfortunately most Eagles songs are blocked but every now and again, there will be a song or two that is able to come through.

Ok 👍 guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍HOTEL CALIFORNIA 🎵👍🎵👍 This SONG IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!!!! The lyrics is a WOW!!!!!!!!!!!💜💚💙💜💚💙

One of my childhood favourites, I still remember every word 😍

I love the line "You can check out anytime but you can never leave"..It's about the greed and the L.A. rich lifestyle. There is more to it than that though. Incredible song. You should watch the other live version in the 70's.

Eagles performed all songs without any backup singers, the group did it all. I saw the Eagles and Pink Floyd in the same year, the difference in the two, The Eagles was a band you go to hear and Pink Floyd you go to see. Both were phenomenal.

They have so many amazing songs that it is difficult to pick a favourite. However, I'm pluming for 'Love will keep us alive' - co-written by Paul Carrack [another brilliant singer and songwriter who also recorded the song (and is from Yorkshire so have to love him!)] but the harmonies on The Eagles version of the song always gives me goosebumps without fail! The lyrics are beautiful too.

The eagles were great .I saw them in the 70s. The best song ever!

I live in Cleveland and the Rock and Roll hall of fame and Museum set across from where the Browns play and on the dock of Lake Erie. You should come up on either Mondays or Fridays. It's cheap and they'll show you what all the music inductees donated to the museum. The Eagles have a double guitar and a pink light that says Hotel California (it was their biggest selling album).

Don Henley is not always the lead singer in The Eagles. Glenn Frey (pronounced FRY) is also sings lead along with Joe Walsh (guitar), Tim Schmidt (bass) and Randy Meisner (bass). Glenn's son Deacon has taken over Glenn's singing and playing since Glenn passed away January 2016, at the age of 67 from complications of rheumatoid arthritis, acute ulcerative colitis, and pneumonia.

Take it to the limit! Is another good one by the Eagles! They had many great hits.

What's funny is there are 3 versions of this song, done at various stages of their lives. There's the 1977, Capital Centre version when they were still young (late 20s- early 30s). The acoustic version from Hell Freezes Over in 1994 (mid - late 40s)was reworked a bit and brings out the reggae-ish flavor of the song, this one in 1998 (early 50s). AND, they are currently touring, in 2021,in their 70s playing the full HC album and a lot more, plus still sounding great. By the way, it was always fun to see the late Glenn Frey singing along, whether he was the lead or not. If he liked the line he'd mouth the words right along.

On the same album you had, New Kid In Town, Life in the Fast Lane, Victim of Love and Wasted Time. Five great songs.

Yes check out the 1977 live version. Don Felder (double guitar) Don Felder (double guitar) did the music. Don Henley (,drummer) and Glenn Frey (front and center) wrote the lyrics. Don't try to figure out what the lyrics mean. Everybody has their own idea about that and Don Henley said it's about whatever you think. Just enjoy the music.

Loveeeee this Eagles!!🥰🎶 such a good catalog!

I love you two. Your deep love of music is genuine.

You never never stop during the guitar solo.

Have all the albums from day 1 yahoo absolutely amazing

1977 live version!! Then Take it the limit. With Randy Meissner. Legacy album has the audio. Must heart.

YESSSSSSSS Genius....My Eagles

This is one of the greatest classic songs ever made

I Can't Tell You Why is a 🔥 song.

❤️y’all but you are late. Loved this song at age of 5 when my aunt played it in her Camaro with me with windows down. Didn’t understand it then but loved it anyway.

Hotel California was released in 1976 on the album of the same name and was written by Don Felder, Don Henley and Glenn Frey. At the time of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, the band had completed their tour for Hell Freezes Over which started in 1994. During Hell Freezes Over, the lineup for the band was just like during The Long Run. Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Don Felder Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit. For the Hall of Fame induction, the founding members Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner returned. Bernie left after the tour for the album One of These Nights and Randy left after the tour for the album Hotel California. Joe Walsh’s brick suit is a tribute to his days of wrecking hotels. (See Life’s Been Good spoken word edition for the backstory) Don Felder is the one playing the Gibson EDS-1275 and Don Henley is the drummer singing lead vocals For the ceremony, The Eagles performed Take it Easy and the one you watched, Hotel California. The meaning for Hotel California is that there’s a dark underside to the American Dream and how the dream can turn into the nightmare according to Don Henley but if you want to learn more about the writing of the song, you need to buy a 2-disc compilation album called The Very Best of The Eagles. With the album, there’s a booklet called Conversations With Don Henley and Glenn Frey where they were interviewed on the writing of each song on that album.

I was at the Hotel California concert at the Forum in 76.3rd row seats..It was amazing!!

Check Phil Collins In the Air Tonight, drummer singer of Genesis. Don Henley the drummer and Glen Fry guitarist were the main singers. Also Joe Walsh is a singer. He wrote Rocky Mountain high which is a must to see.

Stevie Nicks is the She in the song. The Mission was a recording studio. Everyone feel in love with her. Everyone wanted to work with her. No one could ever escape her magic. She was involved with Don Henley, Joe Walsh as well as Lindsay Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood.

The unplugged version when they reunited in the early 90’s was cool as well🎼

This is probably the.Most memorable and important times they’ve ever played this song in their decades long careers . Hall of Fame

Definitely a rabbit hole. Lyrics are dark-dealing with living in a hedonistic society-wanting a different life but stuck in the matrix.

Superlative talent.

Right up there with my all time favorites!The band. The vocals. Every song you guys are playing takes me back to my youth&excellent memories. Thank you both💗

1) Never talk during a lead 2) Shut up and listen during a lead 3) Don't interrupt a lead

I was lucky enough to Eagles in 2002 with my friends

This group never disappoints

"You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave".. It's very hard to sing and play drums at the same time, but Don Henley does it so well...

Arguably one of their greatest hits....and I do say "Arguably" because they have sooooo many great songs and all hit you little different

The guy with the double neck guitar wrote the lick and played it for the drummer and the guy mouthing the words and the three of them basically wrote it together. 4 of the 5 guys sing lead on other songs. Listen to Life in the fast lane!

Want to see another drummer sing, Phil Collins, In The Air Tonight.

I saw them once live in the late 90's on their Hell Freezes Over tour. Was so cool.

Man shows up in a brick suit, you know he's bringing it.

The song is basically about being rock stars and living that life - everything that comes with it. All the indulgences that comes with it

Joe Walsh in the Brick suit. He’s the crazy man of the band I was so happy when he joined.

The Eagles are known for their harmonies. You have many more songs from them in this rabbit hole.

Always been my dad's favorite song and over the years became one my favorites too. If you want to see some crazy drumming & singing, please react to Phil Collins - In the air tonight, the LIVE version. You'll be blown away for sure!

I was wanting to see y'alls reaction to the part of "you can check in anytime but you can never leave". I understand you both were into it.

Don Henley sang about 40% of the time, but all of them could sing an over the years others came in that could sing also. So there was 8 lead singers in the band that sang from time to time, but Don sang more than anybody else, he had a great voice also.

I love the Eagles and this is probably my favorite song of theirs and they have so many great songs! Don Henley is the lead singer/drummer on this song and he did write the lyrics with Glenn Frey! Don Felder wrote the music and Joe Walsh added the guitar at the end but he didn’t get writing credits! Most of the band’s hits were written by Don Henley and Glenn Frey!❤️❤️

Hotel California used to be synonymum for a drug addiction. That´s why it´s hard to leave and that´s why it was full of rich people and he saw mirrors on the ceiling. He thought about a light in the darkness but it was a trap.

the best group ever, drinking song. and we have all been there. great work guys , steel knife, drugs take you there every time, He is the lead singer and the best voice , love him.

The eagles have landed.❤

Don Henley on drums, Don Felder Joe Walsh and Glenn Frey on guitars, Timothy B. Schmidt on bass, and EVERYBODY on vocals!!

They can all sing, each member has at least 1 major hit, where he is the lead singer.

Jammmmm

I was born in 77, and I am the product of a classic rock loving mother and a classic country loving father, so I grew up listening to all kinds of music from before my time, and I love it! This was one of Mom’s favorite songs!

Eagles were inducted to the R&R HoF the year I was born, and that doesn't stop this from being one of my all-time favorite songs. Eagles are amazing. Glad people of all ages are looking backward for music now, not that *everything* new is crap.

Soooo many hits !

My daddy introduced me to the Eagles when I was a little girl of 7 years old. I was HOOKED!! One of these Nights was my first Eagles songs...and this has been my fav band all my life. I'm 56 years old...and I still LOVE them. This song, Hotel California...is my fav Eagles song...and it sounds so much better in stereo...with a lot of bass.

The Eagles are the American version of The Beatles. Don Henley is John Lennon and Glenn Frey is Paul McCartney. Just like The Beatles they wrote together and separately most of the songs. Glenn was also the lead singer on some of their other great songs like "Lyin Eyes". Both Don and Glenn had big solo careers in the 80s. Don Henley's "Boys Of Summer" is one of the greatest songs of all time. Glenn not only had a lot of hit songs in the 80s("The Heat Is On"), but he became a fitness guru and acted in a few movies and tv shows. Including starring in a groundbreaking episode of Miami Vice. Glenn also supplied that episode with a song that became a mega hit "Smuggler's Blues". Which is a brilliant song! Don Henley and Glenn Frey(RIP) are icons.

I just found your channel a few weeks ago, so I’m catching up. I’m obsessed with your channel and the variety of music you review. I can’t quite find your SMedia sites but I’ll keep searching. Prob already answered but Don Henley (drummer / lead vocals) and Glenn Frey wrote the song. Thank you so much for having this channel. It’s a blast.

Don Felder on the double neck guitar Came up with the music then Don Henley the drummer and singer long with the late Glen Frey wrote the music they all basically were lead singers depending on a song that most fit the voice but Joe Walsh a success in his own right the dude rockin the brick suit this dude was the wild child of the group check out the 1977 live performance

The Eagles are legends!

I was really expecting a different reaction when the line came up saying" You can check out, but you can never leave." I love you channel and always watching.

Loved watching your reaction :) I got to see Don Henley during his solo "Building the Perfect Beast" tour when he was in Philly. (They just can't kill the beast!) Phil Collins is another drummer who could sing. Many have reacted to his In the Air Tonight - Live version. He was drummer/singer for Genesis after Peter Gabriel left.

You can checkout anytime you want but you can never leave.

Saw them in concert in New Brunswick. It was amazing

The Driver is wasted crash and burn and now he is in afterlife. Eagles 🎹🎼🎧🎤😁

I liked all their music but my favoret song they do is Peaceful Easy Feeling, and 7 Bridges Road

Love the EAGERS

Love the shirt Mel...LEGEND!!!
