    Default Rare 1973 live recording featuring 2 unreleased songs now available!

    Hey Eagles fans!
    I'm new here, so I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I wanted to let everyone know about this exciting live Eagles find. It's a previously uncirculated live concert audience recording from 11-21-1973, Holy Cross College, Worcester, MA. It's a full-length show (19 songs, ~100 minutes) from a unique period for the band. It's right after they returned from their early On The Border recording sessions in London (with Glyn Johns), but apparently before they replaced Johns with Bill Szymczyk, and finished recording the album in LA. But the exciting part is that this show features 2 original songs from those early On The Border sessions that were ultimately dropped and not used, and, as far as I know, these songs were not played at any other recorded shows, and have never been released in any form. As there are very few unreleased or 'outtake' songs that have seen the light of day from the Eagles, this is a truly exciting find. By the way, the songs are very impressive, and make worthy additions to the Eagles canon.
    I have acquired the audience master recording from the original taper (David M) and he has allowed me to make it available to all (via free download) through my blog. So, for more info on these songs (one by Henley, titled 'Wait and See', one by Leadon, possibly titled 'Learn and Teach' or 'Born to Teach'), and to download the complete show, follow this link:
    http://bbchron.blogspot.com/2011/04/...s-college.html

    If there is enough interest, I could also post just those 2 songs here.
    I was quite astounded when I heard these, as I have never heard anything about them before. I am very interested in hearing what others think of these songs, and if they really are as rare as I think they are.

    BTW, my blog contains many other live shows that may be of interest to fans of the Eagles, country-rock, classic rock, and great music.
    Thanks, and hope you enjoy these as much as I did.

    I checked this out and it's so exciting to hear "new" stuff despite the fact that the quality isn't the greatest. Thank you for posting this!

    Some comments regarding the new stuff:

    "Wait and See" is sung by Randy Meisner and not Don Henley, unless I'm mistaken. It's hard to make out, but I think Glenn even introduces it as "We were working on a new album called On the Border, and this is a song from this album Randy wrote, it's called 'Oh Darlin', Wait and See.'"

    I LOVE the extended jamming on that song!

    To my ears the title of the Leadon song sounds like "Georgia Peach," which would make sense because that was the nickname of his old Flying Burrito Brother bandmate Gram Parsons whose death inspired On the Border's "My Man."

    Again, I welcome you BBKron to the Border.

    I had not heard these two new songs until I joined your blog and signed up for the free access to Mega-Up-loads where you have the music stored.

    Those wishing to experience the music BBKron has provided will need to have an RAR extractor. Check out downloads.com for some options. RAR, for those of you not familiar with it, is another compression utility similar to WinZip. There are free versions of it available as well as some that are shareware. The one I downloaded for my notebook computer was not free....40 day free trial.

    It is worth the effort if for no other reason, just to get the unreleased Henley and Leadon songs.

    BBKron,

    I think you'll find folks here who are really into the early Eagles as well as some who aren't that excited about the early stuff they released. I like it all, and particularly have become really interested in what Bernie has done.

    I like Desperado more than their self-titled offering...in fact, Desperado just may be my choice as being maybe the most note-worthy album that Eagles have released. To my knowledge, that concept album is unique in the Country-Rock genre. I know of no other theme based release in that genre.

    Thanks for sharing that music with us here.

    MikeA

    Glenn before the Leadon song: "Folks, it's all rock'n'roll from here on out, and... who wants to dance?! C'mon, I got to see the dancers in the crowd! C'mon, I'll shake mine and you shake yours!"

    OK, it's a deal, Sugar! lol

    The exchange before "Wait and See" is also funny, although I can't make out some of it and I am probably making mistakes in transcription:

    Glenn: "We spent two months in London... the land of the walking dead. No offense to anybody who's from London, especially the Beatles and stuff, but... It's hard to eat over there. You get super-hard pieces of bread and a micro-slice of ham and [?] and stuff."

    Don: "No Quarter-Pounders."

    Glenn: "And after about three days it's hard to go to the bathroom as well as eat."

    BTW I'm going to be trying to figure out the lyrics of these if anyone wants to try and help. The Leadon song might be a lost cause but some of "Wait and See" is distinguishable. I could sorta make out a few lines - anyone else have more luck?

    Welcome to the board BBKron! Thanks for sharing.

    Soda, I tried to figure out the lyrics to Wait and See. Here's what I could make out. It sounds like Randy singing to me too.

    Wait and See

    Oh Darlin'
    You try to keep from running around
    When you went on a long bumpy road
    And your dreams aren't coming true

    Say if you need me
    I think I can be your man
    And you don't need to run
    There'll be nothing more to say

    Great stuff! Thanks a million BBKron. This is such an interesting period of the band and it's great to hear the "outtakes" (especially form Bernie)

    Speaking of On the Border outtakes, I believe they also recorded Glen and J.D's "Bad Man" which would eventually show up on Randy's first solo album.
    High up on his own, the Eagle flies alone and he is free...

    Thanks for the help whitcap! You have a good ear!

    Gosh, it's just so amazing that after all this time, "new" material is still popping up. I can't get over what a great find this is! Thanks again, BBKron!

    Very, very cool!! I'm with all of you here on how special it is that we can still be getting "new" stuff from them.

    Thank you so much for sharing BBKron, and welcome!!!
