    After releasing The Long Run the band were reluctant to do a live album but they were persuaded to by the suits.

    They recorded some live dates, including an acoustic set of Saturday Night, After The Thrill Is Gone, Keep On Tryin' (Schmit) and Seven Bridges Road. It's a great version of Saturday Night with a different line up to the one that originally recorded it.
    I'd like to see a full live album of the stuff they recorded in 1980 for Eagles Live. The Long Beach Concert would be a great set list for a live double album.

    Don’t get me wrong I love the song but it’s not well known and it’s not popular on the forum. I’m just surprised why they put it on the album. I prefer Randy on it over Tim but that’s just me

    Is there a video or recording of Tim singing on Saturday Night? I've never heard this. It's a great song, and underrated.

    Conveniently, it's included in the samples you can listen to on Amazon. The "Desperado (Remastered)" has Randy and the "Eagles Live" has Timothy.

    Revived in 1980 for the acoustic set they did prior to kicking off the main gig at the Long Beach concerts. Revived in 2013 for a few reasons I would guess: slow and acoustic; from early in their career; the only song they ever wrote with every member of the band; and it requires minimal participation, allowing just Don and Glenn to perform it and build up the team from there.

    It is one of my all-time favourite Eagles songs, I love every nanosecond of it, so I am pleased it has tread water for so long. It has a real CSN&Y, SoCal feel to it, and the simple guitar and layered harmonies make it a fine example of easy listening, country pop; which is why I guess it made it onto Eagles Live amongst all the other hard rock and HC-era work.

    We have the Long Beach concert bootleg on here. It’s pretty good,I like how they played songs they didn’t do before

    I know they played with it just Don and Glenn but how does that work with just them two? Did some background musicians play like the mandolin? Did they just skip the other parts?

    The mandolin was played off-stage.

    Steuart Smith played mandolin and Michael Thompson the accordion off-stage.
