    Default Why so few 1970s-era Eagles bootlegs?

    Is my impression correct, that there are relatively few recordings available of shows from "back in the day"? I know of only ten - 10! - Eagles concerts from the classic era (or B.T., before Timothy) that are generally available.*

    Compared to other classic bands I've followed, such as The Doors and Led Zeppelin (literally dozens of shows were recorded of each - and the Doors had a very short career!), classic Eagles shows are strangely rare. Why?

    *Bootlegs I've seen on offer - not that I purchase such things, nor do I encourage or condone such activity:

    Holland '73
    Berkeley Community Theater '73
    Holy Cross College, Worcester, MA, 11/21/1973
    Providence, R.I., 5/2/1974
    Boston Garden, 7/26/1974
    Philadelphia, 5/17/1975
    Sydney, Australia, 1/27/1976
    Osaka, Japan, 2/2/1976
    Seattle 8/6/1976
    Houston (Baby), 11/6/1976

    NMB, found this on the site:

    https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/...audioindex.htm

    You may want to contact Soda for more info about the list. Check out the links at the bottom, too.

    Me too. It's almost twice as many as I thought existed, but still a strangely low number.

    The final song "Dream Baby" at the 3/16/73 London show - I wonder if that was the Roy Orbison tune? That would be really cool to hear.

    The Wembley 1975 show would probably be my #1 choice though. Oh, for a time traveling machine...

    Agree so much with the time machine. I'll take any show, though, except for July 31, 1980 at Long Beach. I know that they managed to keep their anger from showing (for the most part), but I don't think that I'd wanna be there knowing what happened afterwards.

    I've seen some bootlegs floating about online, especially on the site that I bought Live in Dublin on, but I can't remember the site's name.

    If you remember, PM me. Not because I intend to buy a bootleg, no. It's ahh... for research. Thanks.

    If I was transported back to the 1980 Long Beach show, I would loiter about backstage and wait for Felder to smash his guitar. Then I'd grab a souvenir of said guitar and run.

    Oh, I included those from the blog on my initial list. I didn't realize they were different from Soda's. Thanks, UtW!

    I've got to figure out this .rar format or continue to live a life of frustration...
