Eagles/Germany 1977

The Eagles’ tour from the end of 1976 to 1977, carrying the historic masterpiece “HOTEL CALIFORNIA”, has surprisingly few sound sources. The familiar sound of the pro shot for the venue screen in Houston, which has been familiar for a long time, is too unrealistic despite being a soundboard, and the official LA Forum sound source and Landover video are far from being completely recorded. When it comes to audience recording, there are not many items, and the current situation is that the only release in a single volume is from the 1977 European tour to Frankfurt on May 8th. However, suddenly, the audience recording from Munich the day before appeared on the Internet, causing a stir among enthusiasts around the world. A good audience that maintained a good balance of distance and sound image despite being mono recording. It is unfortunate that there are several recorder pause cuts, including “Hotel California” and “Rocky Mountain Way”, and above all, the recording ends as soon as “Best Of My Love” begins. Still, it is very easy to listen to, and the content is first-class. Unlike the frenzy of excitement in America, the atmosphere of Munich is that it captures a peaceful excitement. Not to mention “Desperado” which had already become a classic at this point, the reaction to “HOTEL CALIFORNIA”, which was the latest hit, was good, especially the excitement when “New Kid in Town” started, which was so peaceful that it made my face smile when I heard it. It is a valuable recording that tells us that the album has already established its status as a masterpiece not only in America but also in Europe. And since half a year has passed since the start of the tour, their performance and harmony work are rock solid. The live performance progresses surrounded by a peaceful and realistic feeling that is typical of Munich, and it realistically conveys the other side of the “HOTEL CALIFORNIA” tour, which is different from the previous Houston and the series of official groups. In any case, this is a tour of the heyday and historical masterpieces that were scarce in sound sources, and this newly excavated audience recording is groundbreaking. For Eagles enthusiasts, please enjoy this precious recording that has appeared for the first time in a long time.
