The Eagles - 1973-03-20 - London, UK (SBD)

In June 1972, the Eagles released their self titled debut album to critical acclaim and commercial success. Three singles from the album, Peaceful Easy Feeling, Witchy Women and Take It Easy, all hit the top 25 on the Billboard charts. Moreover, the album played a key role in popularizing a new 1970s musical genre know as the Southern California country rock sound. In early 1973, the Eagles returned to England, where they had recorded their debut album, to again team with producer Glyn Johns, on their second album. While in London, they did a show for BBC Television on March 20, 1973, 4 dozen years ago today, which is captured in this soundboard recording. The set features several songs from their first album, including all 3 hit singles, as well as 2 tracks from their soon to be released second disc, Out of Control and Saturday Night.  Interestingly, the Eagles do not play the 2 best known songs from that 2nd disc, the title track, Desperado, and Tequila Sunrise. Perhaps those tunes were not yet complete, as the album was not released until a month after this performance. In any event, download this show to catch the Eagles near the very beginning of their career.
