Few captured the spirit of the '70s like California's own Eagles, whose multiplatinum double-album live document Eagles Live joins the 2007 two-disc comeback album Long Road Out of Eden and the hard-to-find release The Millennium Concert in a batch of new, 180-gram vinyl reissues due April 2.
1980's Eagles Live remains a beloved document of two of the band's tours, recorded in California in 1976 and 1980. The 7x Platinum-certified collection featured then-recent tracks "Heartache Tonight" and "The Long Run," an Eagles rendition of Joe Walsh's "Life's Been Good," and a stunning cover of Steve Young's "Seven Bridges Road." It now returns to stores with the most recent remastering and a full-sized poster.
Long Road Out of Eden marked the band's return to the studio by way of a double-CD set that was originally released as a Wal-Mart exclusive. It explicitly recaptured the band's original sound with a cover of band pal J.D. Souther's "How Long" which the Eagles had sung in concert but never on record. Don Henley and Glenn Frey rekindled their songwriting partnership, and the album contained songs from Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, sideman Steuart Smith, and another longtime friend, Jack Tempchin. A 2-LP configuration was pressed up at the time but in limited quantities. Now, fans will be able to find the album on record shelves once more, packaged in a gatefold and boasting printed inner sleeves.
Of most interest to fans will likely be The Millennium Concert. Fittingly, it was recorded on December 31, 1999 at LA's Staples Center. Long available as part of the Selected Works 1972-1999 CD box set and most recently featured on the career-spanning Legacy box set, this is the first time the Millennium Concert recording has been issued on standalone vinyl (though still in its abbreviated, 12-song sequence), complete with a deluxe gatefold.
Each reissued Eagles title utilizes the same masters and stampers as the Legacy set, so if you missed out on the big box, now's the chance to add these to your collection. Eagles Live, Long Road Out of Eden, and The Millennium Concert hit record shelves and digital storefronts on April 2. You can find order links for these breakout releases below!

RecordSteve says
In The Long Run, The Eagles have solidified a place in rock & roll history=soar on guys & thanks for the music &
memories....
Bill Mulvihill says
They have, but too much adulation for what they have done IMHO.
RecordSteve says
Do you have a favorite song &/or album of The Eagles?
Bill says
Is there going to be a CD only release? If not, then count me out.
Rob says
Didn't they used to be the back-up band for some girl-singer named Linda something-or-other??

The ultimate limousine liberals
