Browne had written the bulk of the song, up until the line "I'chiliad continuing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona, such a fine sight to see", where he was and so stalled. Frey added the adjacent line, and Browne continued to terminate the balance of the song. The song reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and propelled the Eagles to distinction.

It was during these recording sessions that Don Henley and Glenn Frey began writing with each other, co-writing eight of the album'due south 11 songs, including ii of the grouping's about popular songs: "Tequila Sunrise" and "Desperado". The bluegrass songs "Twenty-One," "Doolin-Dalton" and the ballad "Saturday Night" showcased guitarist Bernie Leadon'southward abilities on the banjo, guitar and mandolin.

He also wrote the instrumental "Journey of the Sorcerer," which would later be used as the theme music for the BBC's radio presentation of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Leadon would be replaced past guitarist/singer/keyboardist Joe Walsh.

Hotel California was released on December 8, 1976 as the ring'south fifth studio album, and the first to characteristic Joe Walsh. The album took a twelvemonth and a half to make, a procedure which along with touring, drained the band. Hotel California is likewise the last album to feature founding fellow member Randy Meisner, who left the band afterwards the anthology to return to his native Nebraska in order to be with his family. He eventually began a solo career. His biggest contribution to the album was the track "Endeavour and Beloved Once again", which he wrote and sang lead vocals on. Coincidentally, he was replaced by the same man who replaced him in Poco, Timothy B. Schmit. The album's first single was "New Kid in Town," which became the Eagles' third No. 1 single.

It featured Henley on atomic number 82 vocals, and the guitar duet at the cease of the vocal was performed by Don Felder and Joe Walsh. The song was written by Felder, Henley and Frey. Felder wrote all the music to the vocal. The song is also known for its mysterious lyrics. The lyrics take been interpreted in many ways, some of them controversial. When he was told during a lx Minutes interview (November 25, 2007) that "anybody wants to know what this song [Hotel California] means," Don Henley replied, "I know, it's and then boring . . . It'southward basically a song virtually the dark underbelly of the American Dream, and almost excess in America, which was something we knew about." ^[7]

"Life in the Fast Lane" was also a major success, establishing Joe Walsh's position in the band with its more hard rock sound. It was the third and final unmarried from Hotel California and reached No. 11 on the charts. The ballad "Wasted Fourth dimension" airtight the kickoff side of the album, while an instrumental reprise of information technology opened the second side. The album ended with "The Last Resort", the vocal Frey, to this day, refers to as Don Henley's greatest work. ^[viii]

The run-out groove on side two has the words "V.O.L. Is 5-Piece Live", which means that the song "Victim of Love" was recorded live in the studio, with no overdubs. Don Henley confirms this in the liner notes of The Very All-time of Eagles. Hotel California has appeared on several lists of the best albums of all time. ^[v] It is also their acknowledged studio album, with over 16 one thousand thousand copies sold to engagement in the U.S. The album also won two Grammys for "Record of the twelvemonth" (Hotel California) and "All-time organization for voices" (New Kid in Town).

[edit] The Long Run and breakdown (1979–1980)

In 1977, the Eagles went into a recording studio to produce their adjacent studio album, The Long Run. The album took 2 years to make, and was originally intended to exist a double anthology but the band members were unable to come with plenty songs. The Long Run was released on September 24, 1979, to bang-up success. Though considered a disappointment by some critics for failing to live upwardly to Hotel California, it proved a huge commercial hitting nonetheless. The anthology topped the charts and sold 7 million copies. In addition, it released 3 Elevation x singles. "Heartache Tonight" became their last single to tiptop the charts on Nov 10, 1979. The championship rail and "I Can't Tell Y'all Why" (the latter introducing new member Timothy B. Schmit), both reached #8. The band also won their fourth Grammy for "Heartache Tonight".

The Eagles' work for Scaggs was maybe a favor to their director Irving Azoff who was likewise the producer of Urban Cowboy.

On July 31, 1980, in Long Beach, California, tempers boiled over into what has been described equally "Long Night at Incorrect Embankment." ^[9] Frey and Felder spent the entire bear witness describing to each other the chirapsia each planned to administer backstage. "Merely three more songs until I kick your ass, pal," Frey recalls Felder telling him near the cease of the ring'south set. ^[10] Felder recalls Frey making a similar threat to him during "Best of My Dear." ^[9] "We're out there singing 'All-time of My Dear,' but within both of us are thinking, 'As soon as this is over, I'm gonna kill him'" recalled Frey. ^[11]

It appeared to be the end of the Eagles, although the band still owed Elektra a live record from the tour. Eagles Live (released in November 1980) was mixed by Frey and Henley on opposite coasts; the ii decided they could not bear to be in the same state, let solitary the same studio, and as Beak Szymczyk put it, "The tape's perfect three-function harmonies were fixed courtesy of Federal Express."^{[ citation needed ]} With credits that listed no fewer than 5 attorneys, the album's liner notes just said, "Thanks and goodnight". However, there was a single released from the album - "Seven Bridges Route" - which was a live concert staple for the band.
