Eagles Live is the first live album by the American rock band Eagles, a two-LP set released in 1980. The Eagles broke up on July 31, 1980 after their concert at Long Beach. However, the band still owed Warners a live record from the tour. Eagles Live (released in November+) was mixed by Glenn Frey and Don Henley on opposite coasts - the two decided they couldn't bear to be in the same state, let alone the same studio, and as Bill Szymczyk put it, the record's perfect 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." After the credits that list no fewer than five attorneys, the album's liner notes simply say, "Thank you and goodnight." Cover of The Eagles album Eagles Live. ...
