Or how Henley and Frey were utterly dismissive of fans asking for autographs, sometimes downright nasty. Never heard any of that? Now you have, lol...
Right now I want to push all of that bad stuff out of my mind, and just remember the Eagles they way they were, a laid-back easy-going Country Rock band. Looks like Bernie Leadon is pulling off Clarence White licks with a B-bender! The very definition of awesome in my book.
Eagles - Peaceful Easy Feeling - Live on BBC 1973


In case you are new to the Eagles and don't know who they are, the guy who looks like...
William H Macy is Randy Meisner - P Bass
Daniel Stern is Bernie Leadon - Telecaster
Bruce Willis is Glenn Frey - Martin acoustic guitar, lead vocals
Bob Ross is Don Henley on drums
