The first (and only) time I heard The Eagles in concert they were a brand new act and were opening for...wait for it...YES. Now that was a very interesting double bill. First, "Witchy Woman" and then "Roundabout". Quite a night. I do remember they did impress me with their vocals tho. But I was there to see (from about 4 feet away) Rick Wakeman.

 
I too saw that tour. Yes played  Fragile, Close to the Edge, and Excerpts from Henry the VII. I think they played part of the YES Album too... long time ago. I saw them at the Atlanta Memorial Auditorium. I remember it was a GOOD show!
 
Greg had about 17 guitars on stands on the stage and did a solo set while the rest of the band took a break.

Or Herbert....

that would have been an odd but fantastic combination!

I have seen several concerts where one had to wonder what the concert promoter was smoking to have put certain bands on the same stage on the same night in the same venue. 

I've said it before here. My first concert.

Cat Mother and The All Night News Boys (produced by Jimi Hendrix)
Chicago Transit Authority (later to just be Chicago)
Jimi Hendrix.

That's about as weird as it got for me, except my second concert

Brian Auger & Trinity
Elvin Bishop Blues Band
The Chambers Brothers
Led Zeppelin

Plus they did two full sets in that rotation. My friend and I talked with Robert Plant for about 10 minutes between the rotations.

"The third and final version with both the music and the lyrics now more refined was cut at Criteria in Miami and was actually made up of the best pieces out of 5 takes. In fact, the master tape of the song had 30 edits!"

You mean you can do that?


I thought all bands just played in a room and the tape recorder was turned on.


No wonder so many songs sound different live. I don't like that. I want the song live to sound just like the record. You know.... how they played it then.

So much for live music and appreciation of it!
 
But yeah ... it is a very clean album all around, not just one song! And worth having!

And I bet I can get all but one of you (just to cover my bases) to have the last verse of the song (and probably the lead) running through your heads just by saying "Mirrors on the ceiling..."

(Damn...  I forgot that it works on me too!  Oh well...)
