From Wikipedia:
Eagles Live is the first live album by the American rock band Eagles, a two-LP set released on November 7, 1980. The Eagles effectively disbanded on July 31, 1980, after a concert in Long Beach, California that served as a fund-raiser for then-Senator Alan Cranston's campaign, and where Glenn Frey and Don Felder nearly came to blows backstage. However, the band owed Elektra/Asylum Records one more album and fulfilled that commitment with a release of performances from the Hotel California and The Long Run tours.[2]
Eagles Live was mixed by Frey and Don Henley on opposite coasts in Los Angeles and Miami respectively, and as producer Bill Szymczyk put it, the record's three-part harmonies were fixed "courtesy of Federal Express." The 1983 Rolling Stone Record Guide said it is "perhaps the most heavily overdubbed [live album] in history." "Seven Bridges Road," a Steve Young cover, was released as a single and became a top 40 hit. The song was a showcase for the band's close harmony singing, as the first and last verses feature each Eagle singing in five-part harmony.

Vinyl record notes[edit]
- The record labels were custom, showing a bird's nest filled with eggs and hand grenades.
- Original pressings of this double-album had text engraved in the carry-out grooves on each side, as had been the band's tradition since their 1975 album One of These Nights:
- Side 1: Is it illegal to yell "movie!" in a firehouse?
- Side 2: "Hello, Federal? ... Ship it!"
- Side 3: Not Tonight, Thanks ...
- Side 4: ... I've gotta rest up for my monster
- The carry-out groove of the fourth side did not fade to silence as was customary. Instead, the crowd noise continued into the final-loop groove. Thus, for those listening on manual turntables, the applause would not end until the listener removed the stylus from the disc.
