I, personally, really don't like any studio version of Eagles songs. The live songs, with their nuances are my favorites. In fact, in my computer and my phone, I don't have a studio version of Eagles songs. All of them are live bootlegs from the 70's till the 90's (post 1999 Eagles don't interest me). The slightest differences (eg:- Joe Walsh doing a pick scrape before changing guitars in Rocky Mountain Way or the way both of them do pick scrapes in the solo in Hotel California) are extremely obvious and important to me. Even the other few Eagles friends of mine who are minors are like me in this aspect. There is, in addition a rawness of a live bootleg which one would most probably not hear in studio. Their distortion and mixing is also rawer and more hardcore.
So, while I totally respect and understand what you said not all are content with studio versions.
