Earlier this year while on YouTube I watched a Dan Fogelberg concert from 3/20/1976 on the Music Vault channel. I also watched a Jackson Browne concert from ths same year but in October. I wish I could've seen The Eagles Dan Fogelberg Jackson Browne and others back then if I wouldve been in my 20's and was a fan of each of them. I'm an old soul when it comes to music!
Why, of course! I'm with Brooke and Soda here - in between shows, the little angels had to chill and rest up for the next show. I mean, after all, their mantra was 'take it easy'!
And EF86 - I also never saw the band in the 70's. My mom never allowed me to go to concerts when I was young, and then, by the time I was old enough to go, I couldn't afford it. I actually never saw the Eagles live until 2003!

I believe it as well. Knowing some of the burn-outs that I knew in the 70's, and having been quite the party girl myself, there is NO WAY our Eagles would have been able to function on stage as well as they did (do) if they were not getting sleep and/or partying as much as they were said to have.
I'm sure they let loose occasionally, but not every night or after every concert.
I plead the 5th!!!
But, yes. Those were different times. At 13, 14, 15, growing up in Southern California in the 70's, I went to concerts, partied hardy with my older siblings & friends and hung out with musicians. But only burn-outs with no control or other issues in their lives were the ones going 24/7.
