The Eagles - 1994-04-28 - Burbank, CA (SBD)

Only in America, and in rock and roll's unique history, could 4 men representing the states of Michigan, Texas, Minnesota and Nebraska, form a band that would come to embody the Southern California sound. But that's exactly what Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner did in 1971 when they formed The Eagles originally serving as Linda Ronstadt's backing band. Almost as ironically, the band's first 2 albums which showcased their California style, were recorded in London. The Eagles would eventually become one of the biggest selling bands in the world. Their Greatest Hist 1971-1976 album is the largest selling disc in US history, with almost 30 million copied being sold.  Their 1976 album, Hotel California, their first with guitarist Joe Walsh, sold over 16 million copies, becoming one of the monster discs of the late 1970s, along with Rumours and Frampton Come Alive.  Of course, like many groups we've feature this month, The Eagles disbanded for a time, breaking up ibn 1980, only to reform and resume their career.  This post captures the band during their 1994 reunion. As I have mentioned in several posts on So Many Roads,, MTV’s Unplugged became “THE” show to appear on in the early 1990s thanks to the buzz and record sales generated by appearances by such artists as Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton. So when the Eagles decided to reunite in 1994, after what Don Henley jokingly called a “14 year vacation”, it was hardly surprising they chose Unplugged for one of their first live gigs. This soundboard recording captures the 2nd of two nights of recording for the Unplugged show, on April 28, 1994, 20 years ago today.
