Hello friends, on this day in 1977, the Eagles played Knoxville, TN. According to Eagles lore of the last 10 years, Randy and Glenn had an unfortunate altercation backstage. It was the beginning of the end for Randy's time in the group he helped to establish.
What if what we were told about this incident is not quite accurate? A Johnson City Press-Chronicle review of the show, published on July 2, 1977, mentions that Randy did indeed sing "Take It to the Limit" that night - not as an encore, but mid-show as was its typical placement.
This article/essay gives convincing evidence that (1) TITTL was never played as an encore, and (2) Randy performed the song without fail at all the shows on the Hotel California tour that we have evidence of, by audio recording or published review.
