1980s - #6: This excellent audience recording from legendary taper Mike Millard captures The Eagles in Santa Monica on July 29, 1980, 43 years ago today, on tour in support of the last #1 album of the 1970's. The band spent over 2 years recording the follow up to their masterpiece Hotel California, and the result was another massive commercial success. When the band released The Long Run in September 1979, it debuted at #2 on the Billboard Albums chart. A few weeks later, the disc climbed to the top spot, dethroning Led Zeppelin's In Through the Out Door. The Long Run reigned for eight weeks in the #1 slot, finishing the decade in that position. The album has sold more than 8 million copies to date in the US alone. It also yielded three Top 10 singles; with the title track and I Can't Tell You both reaching #8, while the tune Heartache Tonight climbed all the way to #1. Download this one to hear The Eagles play tunes from the last album they would record for over 14 years, as later in this tour the band would breakup, not to reunite until "Hell Freezes Over".
